We love you and the beach." + +They hugged Mom and went to sit on the sand. They watched the boat on the ocean and wondered what was inside. But they did not try to go on it again. They learned their lesson and enjoyed their day. +Anna and Ben are friends who like to play in the park. They like to swing, climb and slide on the big slide. One day, they see a new slide that is very high and long. It looks like fun, but also scary. + +Anna says, "Let's try the new slide!" Ben says, "OK, but be careful. It is very fast and steep." They climb up the ladder and wait for their turn. Anna goes first. She sits on the slide and pushes off. She slides down very fast and feels the wind in her hair. She laughs and says, "Whee! This is fun!" + +Ben goes next. He sits on the slide and pushes off too. But he is careless. He does not hold on to the sides. He slides down very fast and feels the wind in his face. He does not laugh. He screams and says, "Help! This is scary!" + +Ben slides so fast that he flies off the end of the slide. He goes up in the air and does not come down. He keeps going up and up and up. He sees the sky, the clouds, the sun and the moon. He sees the stars and the planets. He sees a big blue planet that looks like his home. He says, "Oh no! I slid off the earth!" + +Anna sees Ben fly off the slide. She is shocked and worried. She runs to the end of the slide and looks up. She sees Ben in the sky. She says, "Ben! Come back! You slid too far!" + +But Ben does not come back. He keeps going up and up and up. He slides through space and wonders what will happen to him. He wishes he was not careless. He wishes he was back on the slide with Anna. He says, "Sorry, Anna. I miss you." +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to dig holes in the sand with their shovels. They found some rocks, some shells, and some worms. They put them in their buckets. + +"Look, I have a big rock!" Tom said. "It is heavy and hard." + +"I have a pretty shell!" Lily said. "It is shiny and smooth." + +They decided to bury their treasures in the sand. They dug a deep hole and put their buckets inside. Then they covered them with sand. + +"Let's make a map!" Lily said. "So we can find them later." + +They drew a map on a piece of paper. They marked the spot where they buried their buckets with an X. They also drew some trees, a slide, and a bench. + +"Done!" Tom said. "Now let's go get some ice-cream!" + +They ran to the ice-cream truck. They saw many flavors. They chose their favorites. Tom picked chocolate. Lily picked strawberry. + +They paid the ice-cream man and took their cones. They licked their ice-cream. It was sweet and cold. + +"Mmm, this is yummy!" Lily said. + +"Mine too!" Tom said. + +They sat on the bench and enjoyed their ice-cream. They felt happy and full. + +But then they saw a big dog. The dog was hungry and curious. He smelled their ice-cream. He ran towards them. + +"Hey, that's our ice-cream!" Tom shouted. + +"Go away, dog!" Lily cried. + +But the dog did not listen. He jumped on the bench and snatched their cones. He ate them in one gulp. He wagged his tail and licked his lips. + +Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They lost their ice-cream. It was not fair. + +They looked at the dog. He looked happy and satisfied. He had a big smile and an icy nose. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with crayons and paper. One day, they find a big book on the shelf. It has many words and pictures. They think it is a story book. + +They take the book to the floor and open it. They see many words they do not know. They try to read them, but they are too hard. They see some pictures of people in suits and hats. They think they are lawyers. They wonder what lawyers do. + +They decide to make their own story with the crayons. They mark on the book with different colors. They draw faces, animals, flowers, and stars. They have fun making their own story. + +But then, Mom comes in. She sees the book and the crayons. She is very angry. She says, "What have you done? This is not a story book. This is a law book. It belongs to Dad. He needs it for his work. You have ruined it. You are in big trouble." + +Lily and Ben are scared. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We thought it was a story book. We wanted to make our own story. We did not mean to ruin it." + +Mom says, "You should not mark on books that are not yours. You should ask before you take things. You should respect other people's things. You have to learn to be careful and responsible. Now, you have to apologize to Dad and help him fix the book." + +Lily and Ben feel bad. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We will apologize to Dad and help him fix the book. We will not mark on books again." + +Mom says, "I hope you mean it. Now, go and find Dad. He is in his office. He is very busy and bitter. He has a hard case to work on. He needs his law book." + +Lily and Ben nod. They take the book and the crayons. They go to find Dad. They hope he will not be too mad at them. They hope they can make him happy again. They hope they can still read a real story book later. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw a big tree, a slide, a swing and a bench. Where could Ben be? + +She ran to the tree and looked behind it. No Ben. She ran to the slide and looked under it. No Ben. She ran to the swing and looked on it. No Ben. She ran to the bench and looked over it. No Ben. She was starting to feel sad. Where was her friend? + +She heard a giggle from behind the bench. She turned around and saw Ben's head appear. He had a big smile on his face. He had hidden under a blanket on the bench. He thought he was very clever and quick. + +"Found you!" Lily shouted. She ran to the bench and pulled the blanket off Ben. He laughed and hugged her. "You are a good seeker, Lily. That was a fun game." + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good hider. That was a hard spot. Were you comfortable under the blanket?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I was. It was warm and soft. Do you want to try it?" Ben offered. + +"Okay, let's switch. You count and I hide. But don't peek!" Lily said. She took the blanket and ran to find a new spot. Ben closed his eyes and started to count. They were happy and having fun. +Bee and Ant were friends. They liked to play and work together. One day, they saw a big hive on a tree. It was full of honey. + +"Let's get some honey for winter," Bee said. "It will be sweet and warm." + +"OK, but we have to be careful," Ant said. "The hive belongs to other bees. They might sting us." + +They flew and crawled to the hive. They found a small hole. They went inside. They saw many cells with honey. + +"Wow, look at all this honey!" Bee said. "Let's take some and go." + +But Ant saw something else. He saw a shiny thing. It was a necklace. It was on the floor. + +"Look at this!" Ant said. "It is so pretty. I want it." + +He picked up the necklace. He put it around his neck. He felt happy. + +But the necklace was not a necklace. It was a trap. It was set by a human. The human wanted to catch the bees and take their honey. + +As soon as Ant put on the necklace, it made a loud noise. It also sent a signal to the human. + +The other bees heard the noise. They woke up. They saw Bee and Ant. They were angry. They thought they were thieves. + +They flew to Bee and Ant. They stung them. They stung them hard. + +Bee and Ant felt pain. They cried. They tried to run away. But they could not. The necklace was too heavy. It held Ant down. Bee could not leave Ant. He was his friend. + +The human heard the signal. He came to the tree. He saw the hive. He saw Bee and Ant. He smiled. He took the hive. He took Bee and Ant. He put them in a box. He took them away. + +Bee and Ant were sad. They were scared. They were cold. They wished they had not gone to the hive. They wished they had not taken the honey. They wished they had not seen the necklace. + +The moral of the story is: Do not take what is not yours. It might be a trap. It might hurt you and your friend. +Anna and Ben love to play in the garden with their pet rabbit, Fluffy. Fluffy is very enthusiastic and likes to hop and run and nibble on the grass. Sometimes, Anna and Ben give Fluffy a carrot as a treat. Fluffy loves carrots and eats them very fast. + +One day, Anna and Ben decided to play a game with Fluffy. They took a big carrot and cut it into small pieces. Then, they scattered the pieces all over the garden. They wanted to see if Fluffy could find them all. + +Fluffy was very excited when he saw the carrot pieces. He sniffed the air and followed the scent. He hopped from one piece to another, eating them as he went. He was very happy and made little noises of joy. + +Anna and Ben watched Fluffy and laughed. They were proud of their clever rabbit. They counted how many pieces he found. He found all of them except one. The last piece was hidden under a flower pot. + +Anna and Ben lifted the flower pot and showed Fluffy the last piece. Fluffy was very surprised and grateful. He ate the last piece and licked his lips. Then, he cuddled with Anna and Ben and thanked them for the fun game. They all hugged and smiled. They had a great time in the garden. +Anna loved to play with her doll, Lily. Lily had long yellow hair, a pink dress and a smile on her face. Anna and Lily did everything together. They had tea parties, read books and sang songs. Anna was very happy with Lily. + +One day, Anna and Lily went to the park with Mommy. They saw a big slide, a swing and a sandbox. Anna wanted to try them all. She put Lily on a bench and ran to the slide. She slid down fast and laughed. Then she ran to the swing. She pushed herself high and felt the wind in her hair. Then she ran to the sandbox. She made a castle with a stick and a shell. + +But when she ran back to the bench, Lily was gone. Anna looked around and saw a boy holding Lily. He was walking away with his mommy. Anna felt scared and sad. She cried out, "Lily! Lily! That's my doll!" + +Mommy heard Anna and ran to her. She saw the boy and his mommy too. She said, "Excuse me, that's my daughter's doll. Can we have it back, please?" + +The boy's mommy looked surprised. She said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was his. He found it on the bench and liked it. Here you go." She gave Lily back to Anna. + +Anna hugged Lily and said, "Lily, I missed you so much. Don't ever vanish again. You are my best friend. I will always remember you." She kissed Lily and smiled. + +Mommy smiled too. She said, "Anna, I'm proud of you. You were brave and spoke up. Lily is lucky to have you. You are an amazing girl." She hugged Anna and Lily and said, "Let's go home and have some cookies. How does that sound?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, please. I love cookies. And I love you, Mommy. And I love Lily." She held Lily tight and walked with Mommy. She was happy again. +Lily wanted to create a bicycle for her birthday. She had many toys, but no bicycle. She asked her dad to help her. He smiled and said, "Okay, let's see what we can do." + +They went to the garage and looked for things they could use. They found two big wheels, a long stick, a seat, and some tape. They put the wheels on the stick and taped them. They put the seat on the stick and taped it. They made a handle from another stick and taped it. They had a bicycle! + +Lily was very happy. She thanked her dad and hugged him. She wanted to ride her bicycle right away. She put on her helmet and went outside. She tried to pedal, but the bicycle was too big for her. She could not reach the handle or the seat. She fell down and scraped her knee. She cried. + +Her dad heard her and ran to her. He saw her troubled face and her bleeding knee. He picked her up and said, "Oh, Lily, I'm sorry. I didn't think the bicycle was too big for you. Let me help you." + +He took her inside and cleaned her wound. He put a band-aid on it and kissed it. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. We can fix the bicycle. We can make it smaller and safer for you. We can create a new one together. Do you want to try again?" + +Lily nodded. She still wanted a bicycle. She said, "Yes, dad. I want to try again. Thank you for helping me. I love you." + +Her dad smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are very brave and creative. Come on, let's go back to the garage and make a better bicycle." +Lily and Ben were friends in school. They liked to play with toys and draw pictures. But one day, Lily got a new desk. It was big and pink and had many stickers on it. Ben did not have a new desk. He had an old desk that was brown and had scratches on it. Ben was jealous of Lily's desk. + +"Wow, Lily, your desk is so pretty!" said Anna, another friend. "Can I see your stickers?" + +"Sure, Anna, come here!" said Lily, smiling. She showed Anna her stickers of flowers and animals and stars. Ben watched them and felt angry. He wanted a new desk too. He wanted stickers too. He wanted Lily to play with him. + +He decided to do something bad. He took a ball from the toy box and threw it at Lily's desk. The ball hit the desk hard and made a loud noise. Some of the stickers fell off and the desk shook. Lily and Anna screamed and looked at Ben. + +"Ben, why did you do that?" asked Lily, with tears in her eyes. "You ruined my desk!" + +"I don't like your desk!" said Ben, lying. "It's too pink and too big and too silly!" + +"That's not nice, Ben!" said Anna, frowning. "You're just jealous of Lily's desk!" + +Ben felt ashamed. He knew Anna was right. He was jealous of Lily's desk. He was also sorry for hurting Lily's feelings. He wished he could take back what he did. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said, softly. "I was wrong. I do like your desk. It's very pretty. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at Ben. She was still sad, but she was also kind. She knew Ben was her friend. She knew he made a mistake. + +"It's okay, Ben," she said, slowly. "I forgive you. But you have to promise me something." + +"What is it?" asked Ben, eagerly. + +"You have to promise me that you won't throw things at my desk again. And that you will share your toys and your drawings with me. And that you will be happy for me when I have something new. Can you do that?" + +Ben nodded. He could do that. He wanted to be a good friend to Lily. He wanted to make her smile again. + +"I promise, Lily," he said, sincerely. "And I'm sorry for making you cry. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily smiled. She hugged Ben and said, "Yes, we can still be friends. And you know what? You can have some of my stickers. I have plenty. Do you want a star or a flower?" + +Ben smiled back. He chose a star and stuck it on his desk. He felt better. He thanked Lily and said, "You're the best, Lily. I like your desk. And I like you too." + +The end. +Ben and Sam are best friends. They like to play with cars and balls and blocks. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big dog with long hair and a loud bark. The dog is fat and has a red collar. + +"Wow, look at that dog!" Ben says. "He is so fat and hairy!" + +Sam nods. He likes dogs, but he is a little scared of this one. He stares at the dog from behind a tree. The dog stares back at him and wags his tail. + +"Hi, doggy!" Ben says. He walks closer to the dog and tries to pet him. The dog licks his hand and makes a happy sound. + +"Be careful, Ben!" Sam says. "He might bite you!" + +"No, he won't!" Ben says. "He is a nice dog. He likes me. Do you want to pet him too?" + +Sam shakes his head. He does not want to pet the dog. He thinks the dog is too big and too loud. He stays behind the tree and watches Ben and the dog. + +"Come on, Sam!" Ben says. "Don't be scared. He is a good dog. He won't hurt you. He is just fat and hairy. That's the truth!" + +Sam thinks for a moment. He wants to be brave like Ben. He wants to be friends with the dog too. He takes a deep breath and steps out from behind the tree. He walks slowly to the dog and reaches out his hand. The dog sniffs his hand and licks it too. Sam smiles and pets the dog. The dog wags his tail and barks. + +"See, Sam?" Ben says. "He is a nice dog. He likes you too. You are a good friend. That's the truth!" + +Sam nods. He feels happy and proud. He and Ben hug the dog and laugh. The dog licks their faces and makes them giggle. They play with the dog until their moms call them. They say goodbye to the dog and thank him for being nice. They promise to come back and see him again. They are happy and they know the truth. The dog is fat and hairy, but he is also a good dog and a good friend. +Anna and Ben were at the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Mom gave them a new bucket and shovel to make a big castle. + +"Look, Ben, I found a star!" Anna said, holding a shiny shell. "Can I put it on the castle?" + +"Sure, Anna, it will be very pretty," Ben said. He dug a hole and filled it with water. "This will be the moat." + +They worked hard on their castle, making towers and walls and bridges. They were very proud of it. + +"Wow, you two did a great job!" Mom said, coming over with a camera. "Can I take a picture of you and your castle?" + +"Yes, please!" Anna and Ben said. They smiled and posed next to their castle. + +Mom took the picture and showed it to them. "Look, you can see the wave behind you," she said, pointing to the blue water. + +Anna and Ben looked at the wave. It was big and fast and loud. They did not notice it before. + +"Uh-oh," Ben said. + +The wave crashed on the shore and washed away their castle. Anna and Ben gasped and ran away from the water. + +"Oh, no, our castle!" Anna cried. + +"I'm sorry, sweeties," Mom said, hugging them. "Sometimes the wave can be naughty and turn things into sand. But you can always make a new castle." + +Anna and Ben sniffed and nodded. They still felt sad, but they knew Mom was right. They decided to make a new castle, but this time, they would make it far away from the wave. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play with bricks. They have many bricks of different colors. They can make houses, towers, cars and animals with bricks. + +One day, they want to make a big castle with bricks. They try to put bricks on top of each other. They try to make walls, doors, windows and towers. They try to make flags, flowers and trees with bricks. + +But the bricks are heavy and hard. Sometimes they fall down and break. Sometimes they hurt their fingers and toes. Tim and Jen are sad and angry. They cry and shout. + +"Making a castle is too hard!" Tim says. + +"I don't like bricks anymore!" Jen says. + +They throw the bricks away and sit on the ground. + +Then they see Sam. Sam is their neighbor. He is older and smarter. He has a big smile and a big bag. + +"Hello, Tim and Jen!" Sam says. "What are you doing?" + +"We are trying to make a castle with bricks, but we can't!" Tim says. + +"Bricks are bad and mean!" Jen says. + +Sam laughs and opens his bag. He takes out many things. He has paper, scissors, glue, crayons and stickers. + +"Do you want to try something else?" Sam says. "You can make a castle with paper. Paper is light and soft. You can cut, fold, glue and color paper. You can make anything you want with paper." + +Tim and Jen look at Sam's things. They are curious and excited. They want to try paper. + +"Can we play with you, Sam?" Tim says. + +"Can you show us how to make a paper castle, Sam?" Jen says. + +"Of course, Tim and Jen!" Sam says. "Come and join me. I will teach you how to make a paper castle. It will be fun and easy." + +Tim and Jen get up and run to Sam. They forget about the bricks. They take paper, scissors, glue, crayons and stickers. They follow Sam's instructions. They cut, fold, glue and color paper. They make walls, doors, windows and towers. They make flags, flowers and trees with paper. They make a beautiful paper castle. + +They are happy and proud. They smile and clap. + +"Look at our paper castle!" Tim says. + +"It is amazing!" Jen says. + +"Good job, Tim and Jen!" Sam says. "You are very creative and clever. You can make anything with paper." + +They play with their paper castle. They pretend to be kings, queens, knights and princesses. They have a lot of fun. + +They thank Sam for his help and his things. They share their paper castle with Sam. They are friends. They like to play with paper. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they decide to play marry. Anna puts on a white dress and a flower crown. Ben puts on a black suit and a tie. They hold hands and walk to the garden. + +"Anna, do you want to marry me?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, Ben, I do!" Anna says. + +They kiss and hug. They are happy. They pretend to have a big cake and dance. + +But then, Anna's big brother Tom comes. He is mean and stupid. He laughs at Anna and Ben. + +"Ha ha, you are silly! You can't marry! You are too small! You need a taxi to go to the church!" Tom says. + +He grabs Ben's tie and pulls it. He throws Anna's flower crown on the ground. He stomps on the cake and the dance floor. + +Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They cry and shout. + +"Tom, go away! You are bad! You are not our friend!" they say. + +They run to the house and tell their mom. Mom is nice and smart. She scolds Tom and makes him say sorry. She gives Anna and Ben a hug and a cookie. She tells them they can play whatever they want. + +Anna and Ben smile and thank mom. They go back to the garden and fix their marry game. They are happy again. They don't need a taxi. They have each other. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big pond. It has water and ducks. Lily and Ben want to go near the pond. They think it is cool. + +"Let's go to the pond!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They run to the pond. They see the water and the ducks. They want to touch them. + +"Can I touch the water?" Lily asks. + +"Me too!" Ben says. + +They go closer to the pond. They lean over the edge. They reach out their hands. + +But the edge is slippery. Lily and Ben lose their balance. They fall into the pond. They splash and scream. The water is deep and cold. They cannot swim. They cannot breathe. They sink to the bottom. + +The ducks fly away. The pond is quiet. Lily and Ben are gone. They did not finish their play. They did not finish their day. They did not finish their life. Their bodies are in the pond. They are not cool. They are sad. +Mira and Lila were sisters who liked to play in the garden. They had a small patch where they grew radishes, carrots and lettuce. They watered them every day and waited for them to grow big and tasty. + +One night, Mira had a dream. She dreamed that a giant rabbit came to the garden and ate all their radishes. He had long ears, big teeth and a fluffy tail. He nibbled and crunched and left nothing behind. Mira was scared and angry. She wanted to stop him, but she could not move. + +She woke up with a loud cry. Lila heard her and ran to her bed. "What's wrong, Mira?" she asked. "Did you have a bad dream?" + +Mira nodded and told her about the rabbit. Lila hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Mira. It was just a dream. The rabbit is not real. Our radishes are safe." + +Mira felt better and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Lila. You are a good sister. Can we go and see our radishes tomorrow?" + +Lila said, "Of course we can. Maybe we can pick some and eat them for lunch. They are good for us. They make us strong and healthy." + +Mira agreed and said, "Yes, they do. I like radishes. They are crunchy and spicy. But not as spicy as the rabbit's teeth. They must hurt a lot." + +Lila laughed and said, "Yes, they must. But we don't have to worry about that. We have each other. And we have our radishes." + +They snuggled together and fell asleep. They dreamed of happy things. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They pretend to drive on the road and stop at the traffic lights. Anna has a pink car and Ben has a blue car. + +"Anna, can I see your license?" Ben asks. He wants to play a game where he is a police officer and Anna is a driver. + +"License? What is that?" Anna says. She does not know what a license is. + +"A license is a card that tells who you are and if you can drive. You need one to drive a car. Like this." Ben shows Anna his license. It is a piece of paper with his name and picture on it. He made it himself with crayons and scissors. + +"Oh, I see. I don't have a license. I only have a car." Anna says. + +"Then you can't drive. You have to give me your car." Ben says. He tries to take Anna's car. + +"No, no, no! It is my car. You can't have it." Anna says. She holds her car tightly. + +"Yes, I can. You are breaking the rules. You have to listen to me. I am the police." Ben says. He pulls harder on Anna's car. + +They both tug on the car until it breaks in half. They hear a loud snap and see the wheels and the windows fall off. They are both shocked and sad. + +"Look what you did! You broke my car!" Anna cries. + +"You broke my car too!" Ben cries. + +They both feel sorry for what they did. They don't want to fight anymore. They want to be friends again. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to break your car." Anna says. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to break your car either." Ben says. + +They hug each other and say they are sorry. They decide to share the pieces of their cars and make new ones. They use tape and stickers and glue to fix them. They make a new license for Anna with her name and picture on it. They play together happily. They learn to be nice and to share. +Ben and Lily were playing with blocks. They liked to make different shapes and things with the blocks. Ben made a big tower with many blocks. Lily made a long train with many blocks. + +"Look at my tower!" Ben said. "It is very high and strong. It is impressive!" + +"Look at my train!" Lily said. "It is very long and fast. It is impressive!" + +They both smiled and admired their blocks. They were proud of their work. + +But then, a big dog came into the room. The dog was curious and wanted to play too. The dog ran towards the blocks and bumped into them. The tower and the train fell down and broke into many pieces. The blocks flew everywhere. + +"Hey!" Ben and Lily shouted. "Stop it! You are ruining our blocks!" + +The dog did not understand. The dog thought they were acting funny and wanted to play more. The dog wagged its tail and barked happily. The dog picked up a block in its mouth. The block was a square. + +"Give it back!" Ben said. "That is my block!" + +"Drop it!" Lily said. "That is not your toy!" + +The dog did not listen. The dog ran away with the square block. Ben and Lily chased after the dog. They wanted to get their block back. They were not happy with the dog. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a big gate. The gate is green and has a sign. The sign says "Pay one coin to enter". + +One day, Tom and Mia go to the park. They have no coins. They are sad. They want to play in the park. + +"Maybe we can find a coin," Tom says. + +They look around. They see a man. The man is selling balloons. The balloons are red and blue and yellow. They are pretty. + +"Can we have a balloon, please?" Mia asks. + +"Sure, but you have to pay one coin," the man says. + +Tom and Mia are sad again. They have no coins. + +"Wait, I have an idea," Tom says. He whispers to Mia. Mia smiles. + +They go to the gate. They see a lady. The lady is collecting coins. + +"Hello, we want to enter the park," Tom says. + +"OK, do you have a coin?" the lady asks. + +"No, but we have something better," Mia says. She holds up a balloon. The balloon is red and blue and yellow. It is pretty. + +The lady looks at the balloon. She likes it. + +"What is it?" she asks. + +"It is a creative balloon," Tom says. "It can change colors and shapes. It can make you happy." + +"Really?" the lady says. + +"Yes, really. Look," Mia says. She blows on the balloon. The balloon changes colors and shapes. It becomes a flower, a star, a heart. It is pretty. + +The lady is amazed. She smiles. + +"That is a creative balloon," she says. "I want it. Can I have it?" + +"Sure, but you have to let us enter the park," Tom says. + +"OK, deal," the lady says. She gives them the balloon. She opens the gate. + +Tom and Mia are happy. They enter the park. They play in the park. They have fun. They are creative. +Anna and Ben are friends who like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, cars, animals and anything they want with the blocks. + +One day, they decide to make a big city with their blocks. They work together and use all the blocks they have. They make tall buildings, bridges, roads and parks. They are very proud of their city. + +"Look at our city!" Anna says. "It is so modern and beautiful!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben agrees. "We are very good at making blocks!" + +They play with their city for a long time. They pretend to be people who live and work in the city. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +But then, something happens. A big dog comes into the room and sees the city. The dog is curious and wants to play too. He runs towards the city and jumps on it. He knocks down the buildings, bridges, roads and parks. He makes a big mess with the blocks. + +Anna and Ben are shocked and sad. They see their city destroyed by the dog. They cry and shout. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog!" Anna says. "You ruined our city!" + +"Go away! Go away!" Ben says. "You are not our friend!" + +The dog does not understand. He thinks they are playing with him. He wags his tail and barks happily. He tries to lick their faces. + +Anna and Ben are not happy. They do not want to play with the dog. They want their city back. They hug each other and try to fix their city. They hope they can make it modern and beautiful again. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw a big bush with many small, round, purple fruits. Sara said, "Look, Tom, blueberries! They are sweet and juicy. Let's pick some and eat them." + +Tom nodded and followed Sara to the bush. They reached out their hands and grabbed some blueberries. They put them in their mouths and bit them. They smiled and said, "Mmm, yummy!" + +But then, Sara saw a small, furry, brown animal hiding under the bush. It had long ears and a short tail. It looked scared and hungry. Sara said, "Oh, Tom, look, a bunny! It is so cute and soft. Maybe it wants some blueberries too." + +Tom looked at the bunny and said, "But Sara, we only have a few blueberries left. If we give them to the bunny, we will have none for ourselves." + +Sara thought for a moment and said, "But Tom, the bunny has no other food. It is alone and cold. We have many other things to eat at home. We can share our blueberries with the bunny. That is what compassionate friends do." + +Tom saw that Sara was right. He felt sorry for the bunny and said, "Okay, Sara, you are a good friend. Let's give some blueberries to the bunny." + +They gently tossed some blueberries to the bunny. The bunny sniffed them and then bit them. It wagged its tail and hopped closer to Sara and Tom. It licked their hands and nuzzled their cheeks. Sara and Tom laughed and petted the bunny. They said, "You are welcome, bunny. We are happy to share with you." +Tim and Sue were poor. They lived in a small house with their mom and dad. They did not have many toys or clothes. But they had each other and they were happy. + +One night, they saw a bright star in the sky. It was glowing like a big light. They wondered what it was. + +"Look, Tim, a star!" Sue said. + +"Maybe it is a wish star," Tim said. "Maybe we can make a wish and it will come true." + +"What would you wish for, Tim?" Sue asked. + +"I would wish for a bike," Tim said. "I want to ride fast and far." + +"What would you wish for, Sue?" Tim asked. + +"I would wish for a doll," Sue said. "I want to play and hug her." + +They closed their eyes and made their wishes. They hoped the star would hear them. + +The next day, they woke up and saw a big box outside their door. It had a card that said: "To Tim and Sue, from the star. You are good youth and you deserve a gift. Enjoy!" + +They opened the box and saw a bike and a doll. They were so happy and surprised. They hugged each other and thanked the star. + +They rode the bike and played with the doll. They felt like they were glowing too. They were poor, but they were rich in love. +Lily was playing with her dolls in her room. She liked to dress them up in different clothes and pretend they were her friends. She had a pink dress, a blue dress, and a yellow dress for her dolls. + +She heard her mom call her from downstairs. "Lily, time for lunch! Come and wash your hands!" + +Lily put her dolls on the bed and ran to the bathroom. She turned on the faucet and rubbed her hands with soap. Then she rinsed them with water and reached for the towel. + +But the towel was not there. Instead, she saw an old dress hanging on the hook. It was her mom's dress from when she was little. It had flowers and ruffles and buttons. + +Lily liked the dress. She thought it was pretty. She wanted to try it on. She took the dress from the hook and put it over her head. It was too big for her, but she didn't care. She twirled around and looked at herself in the mirror. + +She heard her mom call her again. "Lily, what are you doing? Your lunch is getting cold!" + +Lily ran to the door, still wearing the dress. She forgot to wipe her hands. She left wet handprints on the dress. + +She saw her mom waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs. Her mom looked at her and smiled. "Lily, you look like a princess! But why are you wearing my old dress?" + +Lily smiled back. "I like your dress, mom. It's pretty. Can I keep it?" + +Her mom hugged her. "Of course you can, sweetie. But first, let's wipe your hands and have some lunch. Then we can play with the dress together." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they would miss the ball and it would roll away. They would laugh and chase the ball. + +One time, the ball rolled too far and went out of the park. It went to the road where the cars were. Lily and Ben wanted to get their ball back, but they knew they had to be careful. They looked for the exit of the park, where they could cross the road safely. + +They saw a sign that said "Exit" and an arrow. They followed the arrow and found a place where they could see the lights. The lights were red, yellow and green. They knew that red meant stop and green meant go. They waited for the light to turn green before they crossed the road. + +They saw their ball on the other side of the road. They ran to get it, but they did not see a car coming fast. The car honked and the driver shouted, "Watch out!" + +Lily and Ben were scared and stopped. They hugged each other and cried. The car stopped and the driver got out. He was angry and said, "What are you doing here? You could have been hurt! You should not cross the road without looking!" + +Lily and Ben said they were sorry and they just wanted their ball. The driver saw their ball and picked it up. He gave it to them and said, "Here, take your ball. But promise me you will never cross the road without looking again. And always use the exit and the lights. They are there to help you be safe." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said they would. They thanked the driver and said they were sorry again. The driver said it was fine and he was glad they were not hurt. He told them to go back to the park and have fun. He got back in his car and drove away. + +Lily and Ben held hands and crossed the road again. They waited for the green light and looked both ways. They went back to the park and played with their ball. They learned their lesson and never crossed the road without looking again. They were happy and safe. +Ben and Mia like to play with clay. They have many colors of clay. They can make animals, flowers, cars and more. One day, they decide to create a volcano with clay. They make a big hill of brown clay. They make a hole on top of the hill. They put some red clay inside the hole. They say it is lava. + +"Look, we made a volcano!" Ben says. "It is very big and strong." + +"Yes, it is!" Mia says. "But how can we make it erupt? How can we make the lava come out?" + +Ben thinks for a while. He has an idea. He runs to the kitchen and comes back with a bottle of vinegar and a spoon of baking soda. He tells Mia his plan. + +"Watch this!" he says. He pours some vinegar into the hole. He adds some baking soda. He steps back. + +Suddenly, the volcano starts to fizz and bubble. The red clay turns into a thick foam. The foam spills out of the hole and down the hill. It looks like a real eruption. + +"Wow!" Mia says. "That is amazing! You are so smart, Ben!" + +"Thank you!" Ben says. "This is fun! Let's do it again!" + +They laugh and clap. They enjoy their volcano. They create more eruptions with vinegar and baking soda. They have a great time. +Anna likes to dance. She dances in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She dances with her doll, her dog, and her friends. She dances when she is happy, when she is sad, and when she is bored. + +One day, it rains a lot. The sky is gray and the ground is wet. Anna cannot go outside to dance. She feels sad. She looks out the window and sees a big puddle. The puddle is green. It has leaves and grass in it. Anna thinks it looks like a dance floor. + +She puts on her boots and her coat. She runs outside. She jumps in the puddle. She splashes and spins. She dances in the wet and green puddle. She feels happy. She sings a song. She does not care about the rain. She only cares about dancing. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with cars and dolls. One day, they find a big factory near their house. The factory has many doors and windows. It looks fun. + +"Let's go inside and see what they make," Tom says. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. Mom and Dad said not to go too far," Lily says. + +They hold hands and walk to the factory. They see a blue door. They open it and go in. The factory is very noisy and dark. There are many machines and pipes. They see some workers wearing blue hats and coats. + +"Hello, what are you doing here?" one worker asks. + +"We are just looking. We like the factory," Tom says. + +"This is not a place for kids. You have to leave. It is dangerous here," the worker says. + +But Lily and Tom do not listen. They run away and hide behind a big machine. They think it is a game. They laugh and giggle. + +The worker shakes his head and goes back to his work. He does not see them anymore. + +Lily and Tom find a big red button. They wonder what it does. + +"Let's press it and see what happens," Tom says. + +"OK, but we have to be quick. Maybe someone will come and find us," Lily says. + +They press the button together. The machine makes a loud sound. It starts to move and shake. It spits out smoke and sparks. It is not a good machine. It is a bad machine. + +Lily and Tom are scared. They want to run away. But they do not know where to go. They are lost in the factory. They cry and scream. + +No one hears them. No one helps them. The machine does not stop. It gets hotter and hotter. It catches fire. It explodes. + +Lily and Tom are gone. They lose their lives. They lose their parents. They lose their friends. They lose their toys. They lose everything. + +The end. +Sam and Mia liked to play with their toy train. They had a big track with many turns and bridges. They also had a cord that made the train go faster or slower. They took turns to hold the cord and control the train. + +One day, they were playing with the train when their mom called them for lunch. They wanted to finish one more round, so they said they would come soon. But then, the train got stuck on a bridge. The cord was too short to reach the train. They tried to pull the cord, but it did not move. + +They were worried. They did not want to leave the train on the bridge. They did not want to break the cord. They did not want to miss lunch. They did not know what to do. They looked at each other and felt sad. + +Then, they heard a knock on the door. It was their dad. He had come home early from work. He saw them and their train. He smiled and said, "What's the problem, kids?" + +They told him about the train, the cord, and the lunch. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can help you. Let me get a longer cord from the garage. Then we can free the train and have lunch together. How does that sound?" + +They felt happy. They hugged their dad and said, "Thank you, dad. You are the best. We are grateful for you." They waited for him to come back with the longer cord. They did not mind the delay. They knew they would soon have fun with their train and their dad. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. But sometimes they want different things. One day, they find a big book in their room. It has many pictures and words. Lily wants to look at the book. She thinks it is from the university, where their dad works. She likes to learn new things. + +"Come, Ben, let's read the book," Lily says. She leads Ben to the bed, where the book is. + +"No, Lily, I don't want to read. Reading is boring. I want to play with my cars," Ben says. He is lazy. He does not like to work hard. + +"But Ben, this book is fun. It has animals and plants and stars and numbers. You can learn a lot from it," Lily says. She tries to make Ben interested. + +"I don't care, Lily. I know enough. Cars are more fun. They go fast and make noise. You can play with me," Ben says. He tries to pull Lily away from the book. + +Lily and Ben start to fight. They tug and push and shout. They make a mess in their room. Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. + +"What are you doing, Lily and Ben? Why are you fighting?" Mom asks. She is not happy. + +"Lily wants to read a boring book. I want to play with my cars. She won't let me," Ben says. + +"Ben wants to play with his cars. I want to read a fun book. He won't let me," Lily says. + +Mom looks at the book. She sees that it is from the university. She smiles. + +"This book is not for you, Lily and Ben. It is for your dad. He forgot to take it with him this morning. It is too hard for you to read. It has big words and complicated ideas. You are too young for it," Mom says. + +"Really?" Lily and Ben say. They feel surprised. + +"Yes, really. But I have another book for you. It is from the library. It has stories and pictures and easy words. You can both read it and enjoy it. It is for your level," Mom says. She shows them the book. + +"Wow, this book looks nice. Can we read it, Mom?" Lily and Ben say. They feel curious. + +"Of course, you can. But first, you have to clean up your room. You made a big mess. And then, you have to apologize to each other. You should not fight over a book. You should share and take turns," Mom says. She is firm. + +"OK, Mom. We are sorry, Lily. We are sorry, Ben. We will clean up and read the book together," Lily and Ben say. They hug and make up. + +Mom is proud of them. She helps them tidy their room. Then, she reads the book with them. They have a good time. They learn new things. They are happy. +Lily was playing in her room with her dolls. She liked to dress them up and make them talk. She had a folder with many pictures of clothes and shoes that she cut out from magazines. She liked to look at the folder and choose outfits for her dolls. + +One day, her brother Max came into her room. He was bored and wanted to play with Lily. He saw the folder on the floor and picked it up. He opened it and saw the pictures. He thought they were silly and ripped them up. He threw the pieces in the air and laughed. + +Lily was very sad and angry. She loved her folder and her pictures. She cried and shouted at Max. "Stop it! Stop it! You are mean! Give me back my folder!" + +Max did not listen. He kept ripping and throwing the pictures. He thought it was fun. He did not care about Lily's feelings. + +Then, Mom came into the room. She heard the noise and saw the mess. She saw Lily crying and Max laughing. She was very upset. She took the folder from Max and scolded him. "Max, what are you doing? You are being very naughty and rude. You have to apologize to Lily and help her clean up. You have to respect her things and her space." + +Max felt ashamed and sorry. He realized he had hurt Lily and made her unhappy. He said sorry to Lily and hugged her. He helped her pick up the pieces and put them in a new folder. He said he would not do it again. + +Lily was still sad, but she forgave Max. She thanked Mom for coming to rescue her and her folder. She was grateful for Mom's help and love. She hugged Mom and smiled. She decided to share her folder with Max and show him how to play with the dolls. She hoped he would like it and be nice. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with hoops. They have many hoops of different colors and sizes. They can roll them, spin them, jump through them, and make shapes with them. + +One day, they go to the park with their hoops. They see a big slide. They want to slide down. But there is a boy at the top of the slide. He has a hoop too. It is a shiny gold hoop. He says, "This is my slide. If you want to slide, you have to pay me. You have to give me one of your hoops." + +Tom and Mia are sad. They do not want to give their hoops. They like their hoops. They say, "No, thank you. We do not want to pay you. We want to play with our hoops." + +The boy is angry. He says, "Fine. Then you cannot slide. Go away. This is my slide and my hoop. My hoop is the best hoop. It is great. It is better than your hoops." + +Tom and Mia do not care. They do not think his hoop is great. They think his hoop is mean. They go to another part of the park. They find a swing, a seesaw, a sandbox, and a fountain. They have fun with their hoops. They share their hoops with other kids. They make new friends. They are happy. + +The boy is alone. He slides down with his hoop. But he is bored. He has no one to play with. He looks at his hoop. He does not think it is great anymore. He thinks it is lonely. He wishes he had friends. He wishes he had not been mean. He is sorry. +Lila and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to build a big tower, but they have different ideas. Lila wants to use red blocks and Ben wants to use blue blocks. They start to argue and push each other. + +"Stop it!" their mom says. "You need to share and be flexible. That means you can change your mind and try new things. If you only use one color, your tower will be boring and weak. If you use both colors, your tower will be beautiful and strong." + +Lila and Ben think about what their mom says. They decide to try to be flexible and use both red and blue blocks. They work together and make a big tower with a pattern of colors. They are happy and proud of their tower. + +"Wow, you did a great job!" their mom says. "You used your blocks in a smart way. You also used your words and your ears to listen and talk to each other. That is called cooperation. Cooperation means you help each other and have fun. Cooperation is better than fighting." + +Lila and Ben smile and hug their mom. They learned to be flexible and to cooperate. They also learned that using different colors can make things more interesting and beautiful. They decide to use more colors next time they play with blocks. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They had a long blue shovel and a long blue bucket. They filled the bucket with dirt and worms and snails. + +"Look, Ben, I found a big snail!" Lily said, holding up a slimy shell. + +"Wow, it's so cool!" Ben said, taking the snail from Lily. "Can I keep it?" + +"OK, but you have to be nice to it," Lily said. "It's my friend." + +Ben nodded. He put the snail in the bucket and ran to the house. He wanted to show his mom the snail. He opened the door and went inside. He forgot to close the door. + +Lily followed Ben. She saw the door was open. She was scared. She did not want the snail to run away. She ran to the door and closed it. She saw a big lock on the door. She turned the lock. She heard a click. She locked the door. + +"Ben, Ben, come back!" Lily shouted. "I locked the door!" + +Ben heard Lily. He ran to the door. He tried to open it. It did not move. He saw the lock. He did not know how to unlock it. + +"Lily, Lily, why did you lock the door?" Ben asked. "How do we get out?" + +"I don't know, Ben, I don't know," Lily said. "I was scared of the snail. I'm sorry." + +Ben and Lily started to cry. They wanted to get out. They wanted their mom. + +Mom heard Ben and Lily. She came to the door. She saw the lock. She had a key. She put the key in the lock. She turned the key. She opened the door. + +"Ben, Lily, what happened?" Mom asked. "Why did you lock the door?" + +Ben and Lily hugged Mom. They told her about the snail. They said they were sorry. + +Mom smiled. She was not mad. She was glad they were safe. She took the snail from the bucket. She showed Ben and Lily how to unlock the door. She said they could keep the snail, but they had to be careful with the door. + +Ben and Lily said thank you. They learned a new word: unlock. They played with the snail in the garden. They did not lock the door again. +One day, a hunter went to the forest to look for animals. He had a big gun and a big knife. He wanted to kill the animals and take them home. He was a bad man. + +He saw a deer drinking water from a lake. He pointed his gun at the deer and pulled the trigger. But he missed. The deer heard the loud noise and ran away. The hunter was angry. He followed the deer into the woods. + +He did not see a big bear behind a tree. The bear was hungry and angry. He saw the hunter and wanted to eat him. He roared and jumped out of the tree. The hunter was scared. He dropped his gun and his knife. He tried to run away, but the bear was faster. + +The bear caught the hunter and bit him. The hunter screamed and cried. He felt a lot of pain. The bear dragged him to his cave. He ate him for lunch. He was a disgusting lunch. The bear did not like the taste of the hunter. He spat out his bones and his clothes. He went to sleep. He was a happy bear. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with their blocks. + +One day, they decided to have a contest. Who could build the tallest tower with their blocks? They each picked a spot on the floor and started to stack their blocks. Tom used red and blue blocks. Sue used yellow and green blocks. + +"Look at my tower!" Tom said. "It is very high. I will add more blocks and make it higher." + +"Look at my tower!" Sue said. "It is very pretty. I will add more blocks and make it prettier." + +They kept adding blocks to their towers. They did not notice that their towers were getting closer and closer to each other. They did not notice that their towers were getting wobbly and shaky. + +Then, something happened. Tom added one more block to his tower. It was too much. His tower fell down with a loud crash. Some of his blocks hit Sue's tower. Her tower also fell down with a loud crash. Blocks flew everywhere. + +Tom and Sue were sad. Their towers were gone. They looked at each other. They saw that they had blocks on their heads and necks and arms. They looked funny. They started to laugh. + +"It's okay," Tom said. "We can build again. But this time, let's build together. We can share our blocks and make one big tower." + +"Okay," Sue said. "That sounds fun. We can use all the colors and shapes. We will have the best tower ever." + +They hugged and smiled. They picked up their blocks and started to build again. They were happy. They were rich in blocks and in friendship. +One day, Tom and Lily went to visit their grandma. Grandma was very happy to see them and gave them big hugs. She said, "I have a nice surprise for you. I made your favorite dish for lunch. Do you know what it is?" + +Tom and Lily smiled and guessed, "Is it pizza? Is it pasta? Is it soup?" Grandma shook her head and said, "No, no, no. It is something you love, but you don't eat very often. It is very yummy and crunchy. Can you guess now?" + +Tom and Lily thought hard, but they could not remember. They said, "We don't know, Grandma. What is it?" Grandma said, "It is chicken nuggets! I made them with bread crumbs and cheese and baked them in the oven. They are very hot and crispy. Come, let's go to the kitchen and eat them." + +Tom and Lily followed Grandma to the kitchen. They saw a big plate of chicken nuggets on the table. They smelled so good. Tom and Lily wanted to eat them right away. But Grandma said, "Wait a minute, children. We have to wash our hands first. And we have to say thank you to God for our food. And we have to be polite and share with each other. Do you remember these rules?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Grandma. We remember." They washed their hands and said a prayer. Then they sat down and took some chicken nuggets. They tasted so good. Tom and Lily said, "Thank you, Grandma. These are the best chicken nuggets ever. You are the best cook ever." + +Grandma smiled and said, "You are very welcome, my dears. I am glad you like them. You are very nice and sweet children. You always listen and obey and mention your manners. I am very proud of you." + +Tom and Lily hugged Grandma and said, "We love you, Grandma. You are the best grandma ever." + +The moral value of the story is to be grateful, respectful and kind. The narrative uses foreshadowing or setup and payoff by hinting at the surprise dish and revealing it later. +Lila and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big balloon with a string. The balloon is red and shiny. Lila wants to touch it. + +"Can I have the balloon, Tom?" Lila asks. + +"No, it is not ours. It belongs to someone else," Tom says. + +"But it is so pretty. Maybe they forgot it," Lila says. + +She runs to the balloon and grabs the string. The balloon flies up in the air. Lila holds on tight. She feels the wind in her hair. + +"Help, Tom! Help!" Lila cries. + +Tom runs after her. He is scared. He does not know how to get Lila back. He sees a man with a hat. The man has a big bag. + +"Sir, sir, please help! My friend is flying away with a balloon!" Tom shouts. + +The man looks up. He sees Lila and the balloon. He opens his bag. He takes out a long rope. He ties one end to a tree. He throws the other end to Lila. + +"Lila, catch the rope! Catch the rope!" the man yells. + +Lila sees the rope. She lets go of the string. She grabs the rope. The man pulls her down. Lila lands on the ground. She is safe. + +"Thank you, thank you, sir!" Lila says. + +The man smiles. He picks up the balloon. He puts it back in his bag. + +"You're welcome, little girl. But you should not play with balloons like this. They are not toys. They are for science. They have oxygen inside. Oxygen is what we breathe. We send them to the sky to learn about the unknown. The unknown is what we do not know yet," the man says. + +Lila and Tom nod. They do not understand everything the man says. But they are glad he helped them. They say sorry for taking his balloon. They hug each other. They go back to their parents. They do not play with balloons anymore. +Ben and Lily 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 started to feel tired and bored. + +"Let's go to the kitchen and find something to eat," Ben suggested. + +"Okay," Lily agreed. They put away their toys and walked to the kitchen. They saw a large bunch of bananas on the counter. + +"Bananas!" Ben exclaimed. "I love bananas. They are sweet and yellow." + +"Me too," Lily said. "Can we have one, please?" + +They asked their mom, who was making dinner, if they could have a banana. She smiled and said yes. She peeled two bananas and gave one to each of them. + +"Thank you, mom," Ben and Lily said. They took big bites of their bananas and chewed happily. + +But as they ate, they felt more and more sleepy. They yawned and rubbed their eyes. + +"Are you ready for a nap?" their mom asked. + +They nodded and finished their bananas. They threw the peels in the trash and hugged their mom. + +"Good night, mom," Ben and Lily said. + +"Good night, sweeties," their mom said. She took them to their bedroom and tucked them in. She kissed them on their foreheads and turned off the light. + +Ben and Lily closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of bananas and toys and animals. They were very happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, it rained a lot and the road was full of water. Lily and Ben put on their boots and coats and ran to the road. They wanted to splash in the puddles. + +"Look, Ben, this puddle is big and deep!" Lily said. She jumped into the puddle and made a big splash. She laughed and felt happy. + +"Wait for me, Lily!" Ben said. He followed his sister and jumped into the puddle too. He made a bigger splash and got water on Lily's face. He laughed and felt happy too. + +But then, a car came down the road. It was going fast and did not see the twins. The car drove through the puddle and made a huge splash. The splash was so big that it covered Lily and Ben with water and mud. They felt scared and cold and wet. + +"Help, help!" Lily and Ben cried. They ran to the side of the road and looked for their mom. Their mom was reliable. She always watched them and kept them safe. + +Their mom heard their cries and came out of the house. She saw the car and the puddle and the twins. She was angry and worried. She ran to them and hugged them. + +"Are you okay, Lily and Ben?" she asked. She checked them for injuries and cleaned their faces. + +"We're okay, mom, but we're sorry," Lily and Ben said. They felt sorry for making their mom angry and worried. + +"Why did you play on the road, Lily and Ben?" mom asked. She was calm and serious. She wanted to teach them a lesson. + +"We wanted to splash in the puddles, mom," Lily and Ben said. They liked to splash in the puddles, but they did not think about the danger. + +"Puddles are fun, but the road is not a safe place to play, Lily and Ben," mom said. She explained to them that the road was for cars and that cars could hurt them. She told them to always play in the yard or the park, where they could see and hear the cars. + +"We understand, mom, and we won't do it again," Lily and Ben said. They learned their lesson and felt grateful for their mom. + +Mom smiled and kissed them. She was glad that they were okay and that they listened to her. She took them inside and gave them warm clothes and hot chocolate. She told them that she loved them and that they were good twins. + +Lily and Ben smiled and hugged her. They loved her too and they were happy. They decided to splash in the puddles only when they were in a safe place. They knew that mom was reliable and that she always wanted the best for them. +Anna and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They see a shiny faucet on the sink. They want to see what it does. + +"Let's turn it on!" Ben says. He reaches for the handle. + +"No, don't!" Anna says. "Mommy told us not to touch the faucet. It can be hot or cold. It can hurt us." + +But Ben does not listen. He turns the handle hard. Water comes out fast and loud. It is very hot. It splashes on Ben's hand. He screams. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts!" Ben cries. He drops the handle. The water keeps coming out. + +Anna runs to get Mommy. She tells her what happened. Mommy comes quickly. She turns off the faucet. She wraps Ben's hand in a towel. She hugs him and Anna. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy. I was curious. I wanted to see the water," Ben says. + +"I know, Ben. But you have to be careful. The faucet can be dangerous. You have to ask me before you touch it. Do you understand?" Mommy says. + +"Yes, Mommy. I understand. I'm sorry, Anna. I should have listened to you," Ben says. + +"It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you're not hurt too much. I love you, brother," Anna says. + +They all hug and kiss. Mommy puts some cream on Ben's hand. She gives him a band-aid and a cookie. She tells him a story to make him feel better. Anna listens too. They are happy again. +Lily and Tom are playing with blocks. They want to make a big house with many rooms. They add more and more blocks to their house. They make walls and windows and roofs. + +"Look, our house is almost done!" Lily says. "But we need a door. How can we make a door?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He takes two blocks and puts them on the floor. He leaves a space between them. He says, "This is the door. We can go in and out of the house through here." + +Lily likes Tom's idea. She says, "Good job, Tom! Let's try it." She picks up a doll and walks to the door. She pretends to knock on the door. She says, "Hello, can I come in?" + +Tom picks up a toy car and drives it to the door. He pretends to open the door. He says, "Yes, you can come in. Welcome to our house!" + +Lily and Tom smile at each other. They are happy with their house. They go inside and play with their toys. They are careful to be slow and gentle with their blocks. They do not want to break their house. They have fun together. +Mia and Leo were hungry. They wanted to eat pasta for lunch. But Mom was busy with the baby. She could not cook pasta for them. + +"Can we help you, Mom?" Mia asked. She was a thoughtful girl. She liked to help Mom with the baby and the house. + +"Thank you, Mia. You and Leo can help me. You can set the table for pasta. And you can get the cheese and the sauce from the fridge. Can you do that?" Mom said. + +"Yes, we can!" Mia and Leo said. They ran to the kitchen. They got the plates and the forks and the spoons. They put them on the table. They got the cheese and the sauce from the fridge. They put them on the table too. + +"Look, Mom! We helped you!"

And they liked helping Mom. +Sara and Ben are on the same team. They like to play with rocks. They have a big pile of rocks in the yard. They make shapes and towers with the rocks. + +One day, a new girl comes to play. Her name is Lily. She has a fancy dress and a fancy hat. She does not like rocks. She says rocks are dirty and boring. + +"Can I play with you?" Lily asks Sara and Ben. + +"Sure, you can play with us," Sara says. "We are playing with rocks. Do you like rocks?" + +"No, I don't like rocks," Lily says. "Rocks are not fun. They are hard and heavy. I like dolls and tea parties. They are fun and pretty. Do you want to play with my dolls?" + +"No, we don't want to play with your dolls," Ben says. "Dolls are not fun. They are soft and quiet. We like rocks. They are fun and loud. We can make noise and throw them." + +Lily does not like what Ben says. She gets angry and snatches a rock from Ben's hand. She throws it at him. But she misses and hits Sara's tower. Sara's tower falls down and breaks. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Sara says. "You broke my tower. That was my rock. Give it back!" + +"No, it's my rock now!" Lily says. "You can't have it. It's a fancy rock. It's shiny and smooth. It's better than your other rocks." + +Sara and Ben are sad and mad. They do not want to play with Lily anymore. They tell her to go away. Lily does not care. She takes the fancy rock and runs away. She thinks she is better than Sara and Ben. + +But Sara and Ben do not need Lily. They have each other. They are still on the same team. They hug and say sorry. They start to build a new tower with their rocks. They have fun and laugh. They are happy. +Lily and Sam are playing with paper. They like to fold the paper and make different shapes. Lily folds a paper into a triangle. Sam folds a paper into a square. + +"Look, I made a hat!" Lily says.

She picks it up and looks at it. + +"What is this?" she asks. + +"It is a bag!" Sam says. "You can put things in it." + +Lily opens the bag and sees some stickers inside. She likes stickers. She takes one and sticks it on her hat. + +"Thank you, Sam!" she says. "This is a nice bag. Can I have it?" + +"Sure, Lily!" Sam says. "You can have it. I have another one." + +He shows her another bag with a handle. It has some crayons inside. He likes crayons. He takes one and draws on his box. + +They both smile and hug each other. + +They are glad to have paper, bags, stickers and crayons. They are glad to have each other. They are glad to play. +Anna and Ben are playing in the sand. They make a big castle with a flag and a moat. They are happy and proud of their work. + +"Look at our castle, Mom!" Anna says. "It is the best castle ever!" + +Mom smiles and nods. She is sitting on a towel on the grass. The towel is rough and itchy, but she does not mind. She likes to watch her children have fun. + +Suddenly, a big dog runs towards them. It is brown and furry, and it has a collar with a tag. It barks and jumps on the castle, breaking it into pieces. Anna and Ben are scared and sad. They cry and hug each other. + +"Hey, stop that!" Mom shouts. She gets up and runs to the dog. She grabs its collar and looks at the tag. It says: "Rex. I belong to Mr. Jones. If you find me, please call this number." + +Mom sighs and takes out her phone. She calls the number and waits. The dog wags its tail and licks her face. It does not know it did something bad. + +"Hello, this is Mr. Jones. Is this about Rex?" a voice says. + +"Yes, it is. I found your dog in the park. He destroyed my children's sand castle. They are very upset. Can you please come and get him?" Mom says. + +"Oh, I'm so sorry. Rex is a good dog, but he loves to play. He ran away from me when I was walking him. I've been looking for him everywhere. I'll be there in five minutes. Thank you for finding him." Mr. Jones says. + +Mom hangs up and tries to calm Anna and Ben. She gives them a hug and a kiss. She tells them that the dog did not mean to hurt their castle. He just wanted to play. She says they can make a new castle later. She also gives them a cookie from her bag. They stop crying and smile a little. + +Soon, Mr. Jones arrives. He apologizes to Mom and the children. He thanks them for taking care of Rex. He gives them a new towel as a gift. The towel is soft and colorful, with pictures of animals on it. Anna and Ben like it very much. They say goodbye to Rex and Mr. Jones. They spread the new towel on the grass and sit on it. They decide to make a new castle, but this time with the help of Rex. They hope he will not break it again. They laugh and have fun. Mom watches them and smiles. She is happy and proud of them. +Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to swim in the pool. Today is a sunny day, so they put on their swimsuits and run to the pool. They are very excited. + +"Look, Lily, I can swim like a fish!" Tom says. He jumps into the water and moves his arms and legs. He makes bubbles with his mouth. + +"Wow, Tom, you are so fast!" Lily says. She follows him into the water and tries to catch him. She laughs when he splashes her. + +They swim and play for a long time. They see many things in the water. They see a ball, a duck, a frog and a leaf. They touch them and throw them. + +"Tom, Lily, time to get out!" their mom calls. She has a towel and a snack for them. + +"Okay, mom!" they say. They get out of the water and dry themselves. They are happy and tired. They hug their mom and eat their snack. + +They look at the pool with their eyes. They smile and say, "We love to swim!" +Lily and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with their blocks and zoom their cars around. Sometimes they have races and see who is faster. + +One evening, Mom says it is time to clean up and get ready for bed. Lily and Ben do not want to stop playing. They say they are not tired and want to play more. Mom says they can play for five more minutes, but then they have to put their cars away. + +Lily and Ben nod, but they do not really listen. They keep playing with their cars and making loud noises. They do not see that Mom is busy in the kitchen and does not watch them. They do not hear that Dad is coming home from work and opens the door. + +Dad walks into the living room and sees the mess of cars and blocks. He does not see Lily and Ben hiding behind the couch. He steps on a car and slips. He falls and knocks over a lamp. The lamp breaks and makes a loud noise. The car flies and hits the wall. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They see Dad on the floor and the broken lamp and the car. They see Mom running from the kitchen and asking what happened. They see Dad saying he is okay but he is angry.

Sara loves Spot very much and gives him hugs and treats. + +One day, Sara sees something small and black on Spot's fur. She picks it up and looks at it. It is a flea. The flea is not happy and tries to jump away. Sara says, "No, no, flea. You cannot bite my Spot. You are bad and make him itch." + +She puts the flea in a jar and closes the lid. She shows the jar to her mom and says, "Look, mom. I found a flea on Spot. Can we keep it as a pet?" + +Mom shakes her head and says, "No, Sara. Fleas are not good pets. They are pests. They can make Spot and us sick. We have to get rid of the flea and give Spot a bath." + +Sara is sad and says, "But I like the flea. He can spring very high. He is fun to watch." + +Mom says, "I know, Sara. But trust me, the flea is not a friend. He is a foe. How about we get you a different pet? A pet that is nice and cute and does not bite." + +Sara thinks for a moment and says, "OK, mom. What kind of pet can I have?" + +Mom smiles and says, "How about a bunny? A bunny is soft and fluffy and likes to hop. A bunny can be your friend and play with you and Spot." + +Sara likes the idea and says, "Yes, mom. I want a bunny. Can I have a pink bunny?" + +Mom laughs and says, "Sure, Sara. If we can find a pink bunny, you can have it. But any color bunny will do. As long as it is not a flea." +Lily was a daughter who liked to tease her dad. She would hide his hat, or make funny faces, or tickle his feet. She thought it was fun to make him laugh or chase her. + +One day, it was very hot outside. Lily and her dad went to the park to play. They saw a big fountain with water that sprayed up high. Lily wanted to go near the water, but her dad said no. He said it was too cold and wet. + +Lily did not listen. She ran to the fountain and jumped in. She felt the water splash on her face and body. She laughed and shouted, "Look, dad, I'm in the fountain!" + +Her dad was not happy. He ran to the fountain and tried to get Lily out. But Lily was too fast. She dodged him and teased him. She said, "You can't catch me, dad, I'm too quick!" + +Her dad smiled and pretended to be angry. He said, "Oh, yes, I can, Lily, you're in trouble!" He reached out his arms and grabbed Lily. He lifted her up and hugged her. He said, "Got you, you little tease!" + +Lily giggled and hugged him back. She said, "I love you, dad, you're the best!" + +They both laughed and walked back to the bench. They dried off with a towel and ate some ice cream. They had a good time at the park. +Lia and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the park. One morning, they see a lot of fog. The fog is white and soft. It covers the trees and the grass. + +"Wow, look at the fog!" Lia says. "It is like a big blanket." + +"Can we touch it?" Ben asks. He runs to the fog and tries to catch it with his hands. But the fog is not solid. It slips through his fingers. + +Lia laughs. "Silly, you cannot touch the fog. It is made of tiny drops of water. They are too small to see." + +"Then can we lay on it?" Ben asks. He lies down on the grass and pretends the fog is a pillow. + +Lia joins him. They lay on the fog and look at the sky. The sky is blue and clear. They see some birds flying high. + +The fog feels nice and cool on their skin. They close their eyes and listen to the sounds of the park. They hear the wind, the leaves, and the squirrels. + +They are happy and calm. They like the fog. They think it is a nice gift from nature. They smile and hug each other. They are glad to have each other. +Lily likes to polish her shoes. She has a red cloth and a shiny tin. She rubs the cloth on the tin and then on her shoes. She makes them look bright and new. + +She shows her shoes to her mom. "Look, mom, I polish my shoes. They are so pretty!" + +Mom smiles and hugs her. "You did a good job, Lily. Your shoes are very pretty. Do you want to go for a walk with me?" + +Lily nods and puts on her shoes. She ties the laces in a loop. She likes to make loops with her laces. She thinks they look like ears. + +Mom and Lily go for a walk in the park. They see flowers and birds and trees. The sun is shining and the sky is clear. Lily feels happy and proud of her shoes. She says to mom, "I love you, mom. And I love my shoes." +Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play in the yard. But they do not like the big dog next door. The big dog is mean and loud. He barks and growls at them. He tries to bite them. + +One day, Sam and Tom see a hole in the fence. They want to see what is on the other side. They crawl through the hole.

He chases them. + +Sam and Tom are scared. They run to the gate. The gate is locked. They cannot open it. They look for another way out. They see a ladder. The ladder leads to a tree house. They climb the ladder. They hide in the tree house. + +The big dog cannot climb the ladder. He jumps and barks. He cannot reach them. He is frustrated. He sees a belt hanging from the tree house. He bites the belt. He pulls hard. He tries to make the tree house fall. + +Sam and Tom hear the belt snap. They feel the tree house shake. They are in danger. They need to escape. They look for something to throw at the dog. They find a ball. They throw the ball far away. The dog sees the ball. He loves balls. He forgets the belt. He runs after the ball. + +Sam and Tom see their chance. They climb down the ladder. They run to the hole. They crawl through the hole. They are safe. They are glad. They hug each other. They learn a lesson. They do not go through the hole again. They stay away from the big dog. They play in their own yard. They are happy. +Lily and Tom went to a big place with many people and many tables. They sat with Mom and Dad and looked at the pictures on the paper. The paper had many things to eat and drink. + +"What do you want, Lily?" Mom asked. + +"I want fish," Lily said. She liked fish. It was yummy and soft. + +"What do you want, Tom?" Dad asked. + +"I want fish, too," Tom said. He liked fish, too. But he liked it a different way. + +The man who worked at the big place came to their table. He had a pen and a paper. + +"Hello, what can I get for you?" he asked. + +Mom and Dad told him what they wanted. Then they told him what Lily and Tom wanted. + +"Lily wants fish with rice and peas," Mom said. + +"Tom wants fish with fries and ketchup," Dad said. + +The man nodded and wrote on his paper. + +"How do you want your fish?" he asked Tom. + +"Rare," Tom said. + +"Rare?" the man asked. He looked surprised. + +"Yes, rare," Tom said. He liked his fish rare. It was pink and juicy. + +"Are you sure?" the man asked. + +"Yes, I'm sure," Tom said. + +"Okay, rare fish for Tom," the man said. He smiled and went away. + +Lily looked at Tom. She did not like rare fish. She liked her fish well done. It was white and flaky. + +"Why do you like rare fish?" she asked Tom. + +"Because it's good," Tom said. + +"No, it's not," Lily said. + +"Yes, it is," Tom said. + +They started to argue. Mom and Dad told them to stop. + +"Everyone can like different things," Mom said. + +"That's right," Dad said. "Let's enjoy our food and be nice to each other." + +Soon, the man came back with their food. He gave them plates and forks and spoons. He gave Tom his rare fish. It was pink and juicy. He gave Lily her well done fish. It was white and flaky. + +They ate their fish and their sides. They drank their drinks. They said thank you to the man. They were full and happy. + +They liked fish. But they liked it different ways. And that was okay. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and sing. Today, they have a big show at school. They will sing a song on the stage for their moms and dads. + +Lily is happy and excited. She wears a pink dress and a flower in her hair. She says to Ben, "You look nice, Ben. I like your hat and your shirt. Are you ready to sing?" + +Ben is nervous and shy. He wears a blue hat and a green shirt. He says to Lily, "Thank you, Lily. You look pretty, too. But I am scared to sing. What if I forget the words? What if I make a mistake?" + +Lily smiles and holds Ben's hand. She says, "Don't worry, Ben. We practiced a lot. We know the words. We can do it. And if you make a mistake, it's okay. I will help you. And our moms and dads will love us anyway. They are here to see us and cheer for us." + +Ben nods and squeezes Lily's hand.

He wanted to scare Lily with it. + +"Look, Lily, look what I have!" he said, running towards her. + +Lily saw the worm and screamed. She did not like worms. They were slimy and wiggly and gross. She ran away from Tom, but he followed her. + +"Stop, Tom, stop! I don't want to see the worm!" she cried. + +But Tom did not stop. He thought it was funny to scare Lily. He got closer and closer to her, waving the worm in the air. + +Lily felt helpless. She had nowhere to go. She wished Tom would leave her alone. She wished someone would help her. + +Then she saw Mom coming out of the house. She ran to her and hugged her. + +"Mom, Mom, Tom is scaring me with a worm!" she sobbed. + +Mom looked at Tom and frowned. She took the worm from his hand and put it back in the dirt. + +"Tom, that's not nice. You should not scare Lily with a worm. She doesn't like them. How would you feel if someone scared you with something you don't like?" she said. + +Tom looked down and felt sorry. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He liked Lily. He wanted to play with her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I won't scare you with a worm again. Do you want to play with me?" he said. + +Lily looked at Tom and smiled. She forgave him. She liked Tom. She wanted to play with him. + +"Okay, Tom. Let's play. But no more worms, okay?" she said. + +They hugged and went back to the garden. They played with other bugs that they both liked. They had fun and did not scare each other. Mom was happy to see them get along. +Lily was a big girl now. She had a new bed in her room. It was big and soft and had pink sheets.

She said, "Shh, shh, it's okay. I'm Lily. I'm your sister. I love you." The baby looked at her with big eyes. He stopped crying and smiled. He reached for her hair and pulled it. Lily giggled. She said, "Ow, ow, that hurts. Be gentle." The baby laughed. He liked her. + +They played and cuddled in the crib. They made funny noises and faces. They forgot about being wet and unhappy. They were happy and dry. They were friends. They fell asleep in each other's arms. + +Mom and Dad came to check on them. They saw them sleeping in the crib. They smiled and said, "Look, they met. They like each other. They are so sweet." They kissed them and covered them with a blanket. They turned off the light and closed the door. They were proud and happy. They had a big girl and a baby boy. They had a family. +Tommy liked to study. He liked to learn new things and read books. He wanted to go to school and make friends. But he was too little. His mom said he had to wait until he was four. + +One day, Tommy saw a big yellow bus stop near his house. He saw kids get on the bus with backpacks and smiles. He wondered what they did at school. He wanted to find out. He had an idea. + +He ran to his room and got his backpack. He put some books and a snack inside. He put on his shoes and his hat. He waited until his mom was busy in the kitchen. Then he sneaked out of the door and ran to the bus. + +He climbed on the bus and looked for a seat. He saw a girl with curly hair and a pink dress.

"What do you study at school?" + +"We study lots of things," she said. "We study letters and numbers and colors and shapes. We also sing and draw and play. It's fun." + +Tommy was happy.

They want to play more. + +But then, they see something. They see a shop. The shop has ice cream. The ice cream has cones too. The cones are brown and crunchy. They are for eating. + +"Look, cones!"

Mia found some cheese and butter. They put them in a bowl and mixed them. + +"Let's make mashed potato!" Ben said. "It will be so good!" + +"Yes, let's do it!" Mia agreed. "But we need to cook the potato first. Where is the pot?" + +They looked around and saw a big pot on the stove. It was shiny and red. Ben reached for it, but Mia stopped him. + +"Wait, Ben! That pot is hot! Mommy was using it to make soup. You will burn yourself!" + +Ben paused and looked at Mia. He was angry. He wanted to make mashed potato now. He did not want to wait. + +"But I'm hungry!" Ben whined. "And I want to use that pot! It is the best pot!" + +"No, Ben! You can't use that pot! It is not ready! It is dangerous!" Mia shouted. "We have to find another pot!" + +They started to argue and tug at the pot. They did not see Mommy coming into the kitchen. She heard them and saw them fighting over the hot pot. She was scared and angry too. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Mommy yelled. "What are you doing? You could have hurt yourselves! That pot is very hot! You are not allowed to touch it!" + +She took the pot away from them and put it on a high shelf. She looked at Ben and Mia. They were quiet and sad. They knew they had done something bad. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, too," Mia said. + +Mommy sighed and hugged them. She was not mad anymore. She was glad they were safe. + +"I know you were trying to have fun, but you have to be careful in the kitchen. There are some things that are not for playing. You have to ask me before you use anything. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, Mommy," Ben and Mia said. + +Mommy smiled and kissed them. She had an idea. + +"How about we make mashed potato together? I have another pot that is ready. And I have some more cheese and butter. And maybe some bacon too. Would you like that?" + +Ben and Mia nodded and smiled. They liked that idea. They liked mashed potato. And they liked Mommy. + +"Okay, then. Let's go and wash our hands. And then we can be chefs together.

And they were happy. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a strange machine in the basement. It had a big button that said "shrink". Tim was curious and wanted to try it. + +"Sam, let's shrink our toys and make them tiny!" he said. + +"No, Tim, that's not a good idea. We don't know what that machine does. It could be dangerous. Mom and Dad told us not to touch anything in the basement," Sam said. + +But Tim did not listen. He grabbed his favorite toy, a dinosaur made of meat, and put it on the machine. He pressed the button and watched as the dinosaur became smaller and smaller. + +"Wow, look, Sam, it worked! My dinosaur is so cute and little now!" he said. + +He reached for the dinosaur, but before he could pick it up, a big cat jumped on the machine and grabbed the dinosaur in its mouth. The cat ran away with the meat toy, leaving Tim and Sam shocked and scared. + +"Tim, you were so silly! You lost your dinosaur! And you made the cat happy! How will you get it back?" Sam said. + +"I don't know, Sam, I don't know. I wish I listened to you. You are always reliable. You always know what to do. I'm sorry, Sam, I'm sorry," Tim said. + +They hugged each other and decided to go upstairs and tell Mom and Dad what happened.

He blew it again and it became a yellow flower. He blew it again and it became a green snake. + +Lily and Tom were amazed. They tried to blow their balloons too. Lily's balloon became a pink cat. Tom's balloon became a purple car. They showed their balloons to the clown and to each other. They said, "Wow, this is fun!" + +But then, something bad happened. The clown's balloon popped. It made a loud noise. The clown was scared. He said, "Oh no, my balloon!" He smelled something smelly. He looked at his balloon. It was not a balloon. It was a skunk. The skunk had sprayed him. He said, "Ew, this is not fun!" + +Lily and Tom were surprised. They looked at their balloons. They were not balloons either. They were animals too. Lily's cat scratched her. Tom's car bit him. They said, "Ow, this is not fun!" + +They dropped their balloons and ran away. The clown ran after them. He said, "Wait, wait, I'm sorry. It was a mistake. I took the wrong balloons. Please come back. Please don't be mad." + +But Lily and Tom did not listen. They ran to Mom and Dad. They said, "Mom, Dad, the clown is smelly. He gave us bad balloons. They hurt us. We don't like the clown. We want to go home." + +Mom and Dad hugged them. They said, "It's okay, it's okay. We're sorry you had a bad time. The clown was not nice. We will go home now. We will get you some ice cream. We love you." + +They left the circus. They did not look back. They did not see the clown. He was sad. He said, "Bye, bye, little ones. I'm sorry. I hope you come back. I hope you forgive me." He cried. He was lonely. He was smelly. He was not funny. +Tim and Sam were friends. They liked to play with trains. They had a big rail in the garden. They put their trains on the rail and made them go fast. + +One day, Tim had a new idea. He said to Sam, "Let's feed the trains. They must be hungry." Sam was not sure. He asked, "What can we feed them?" Tim said, "We can feed them rocks. Rocks are good for trains. They make them strong." + +Sam was kind. He wanted to make Tim happy. He said, "OK, let's feed the trains." They picked up some rocks and put them on the rail. They waited for the trains to come. + +But the trains did not like the rocks. The rocks made them stop. The trains made loud noises. They were angry and sad. They broke the rail and the rocks. They could not go fast anymore. + +Tim and Sam were scared. They ran away. They heard a big voice. It was Tim's dad. He saw what they did. He was very mad. He said, "What have you done? You have ruined the trains and the rail. You are very naughty. You are in big trouble." He took them to the house. He did not let them play with trains anymore. He made them sit in the corner. They cried and said sorry. But it was too late. The end. +Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw many things: flowers, birds, swings, slides. But Lily wanted to see the statue. The statue was very tall and shiny. It looked like a man with a hat and a coat. + +"Mom, can we go to the statue?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey. But be careful, it might be hot from the sun," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben ran to the statue. They touched it with their hands. It was warm and smooth. They looked up at the face of the statue. It had a big nose and a smile. + +"Hello, Mr. Statue," Lily said. "Do you like the park?" + +The statue did not answer. It just stood still. + +"Maybe he can't hear us," Ben said. "He is too tall." + +Lily had an idea. She climbed on the base of the statue. She reached for the hat of the statue. She wanted to hold it. + +"Be careful, Lily!" Mom shouted. "You might fall!" + +But Lily did not listen. She pulled the hat of the statue. It was loose. It came off. Lily fell down with the hat. She landed on the grass. She was not hurt, but she was scared. + +The statue looked different without the hat. It looked sad. + +"I'm sorry, Mr. Statue," Lily said. "I didn't mean to take your hat." + +She put the hat back on the statue. She gave it a hug. + +"Thank you, Lily," the statue said. + +Lily and Ben were surprised. The statue could talk! + +"Did you say something?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I did," the statue said. "You made me happy. You are very kind." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They were happy too. They made a new friend. + +They waved goodbye to the statue. They went back to Mom. + +"Did you have fun with the statue?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, we did," Lily and Ben said. "He is very nice. He can talk!" + +Mom looked at the statue. She did not hear anything. She thought Lily and Ben were playing pretend. + +She smiled and hugged them. + +They had a wonderful day at the park. +Tom and Lily went to visit their aunt Sue. Aunt Sue lived in a big house with a big garden. She had a big dog named Spot and a big pool. Tom and Lily liked to play with Spot and swim in the pool. + +One day, it was very hot and sunny. Tom and Lily put on their swimsuits and ran to the pool. They jumped in and splashed each other. They laughed and had fun. Spot watched them and barked. He wanted to join them. + +Aunt Sue came out with a big basket. She had sandwiches and juice and cookies for them. She put the basket on a table near the pool. She called Tom and Lily to come and eat. They got out of the pool and dried themselves with towels. They were very hungry and thirsty. + +They sat on the table and ate the sandwiches and drank the juice. They thanked Aunt Sue for the yummy food. They also ate some cookies, but not all. They saved some for Spot. They gave him the cookies and he wagged his tail. He licked their faces and they giggled. + +They were very happy and full. They felt sleepy. They lay down on the grass and closed their eyes. Aunt Sue smiled and covered them with a blanket. She lay down next to them and closed her eyes too. Spot lay down beside them and snored. They all soaked up the sun and had a nice nap. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Anna. Anna had long, shiny hair that Lily loved to brush and style. Lily wanted to make Anna's hair even more beautiful, so she asked her mom if she could order some shampoo for her doll. + +Mom said yes, and helped Lily find a website that sold shampoo for dolls. Lily was very happy, and chose a pink bottle that smelled like strawberries. She put it in the cart and clicked the button. Mom said the shampoo would come in a few days, and Lily could not wait. + +Lily was so excited when the package arrived. She ran to her room and opened it. She took out the shampoo and read the label. It said: "Warning: Do not use on real hair. This shampoo is only for dolls. It will make real hair fall out." Lily did not understand what that meant. She thought it was a joke. She wanted to try the shampoo on herself, and see if it made her hair shiny like Anna's. + +She went to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. She wet her hair and squeezed some shampoo on her palm. She rubbed it on her hair and smelled the strawberries. She smiled and rinsed it off. She looked in the mirror and gasped. Her hair was not shiny. It was falling out. She had bald spots on her head. She started to cry. + +Mom heard her cry and ran to the bathroom. She saw Lily's hair and the shampoo bottle. She understood what happened. She hugged Lily and said: "Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. I should have read the label with you. This shampoo is not for you. It's for dolls. It's a special shampoo that makes doll hair look real. But it does the opposite for real hair. It makes it fall out. Don't worry, your hair will grow back. But you have to be careful with what you order online. Not everything is what it seems." + +Lily nodded and sniffled. She felt silly and sad. She wished she had not used the shampoo. She wished she had listened to mom. She learned a lesson that day. She never ordered anything online again without mom's help. And she never used shampoo on herself that was not for real hair. She still played with Anna, but she used water and a comb to make her hair beautiful. And she waited patiently for her own hair to grow back. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they find a leather bag in the park. It is big and brown and has many pockets. + +"Wow, look at this bag!" Anna says. "It is perfect for our dolls and cars. We can put them inside and take them everywhere." + +"Let me see!" Ben says. He grabs the bag from Anna and opens it. He sees a wallet, a phone, and some keys. "Hey, these are not toys. These are grown-up things. Who do they belong to?" + +"I don't know," Anna says. "Maybe someone forgot them here. Can we keep them?" + +"No, we can't," Ben says. "That is not nice. We have to find the owner and give them back. Maybe they are looking for them and are sad." + +"Okay, you are right," Anna says. "But how do we find them?" + +They look around and see a lady sitting on a bench. She is crying and holding a picture. Anna and Ben walk to her and show her the bag. + +"Excuse me, miss," Anna says. "Is this your bag?" + +The lady looks up and sees the bag. She gasps and smiles. She takes the bag and hugs it. + +"Yes, yes, this is my bag!" she says. "Thank you so much, children. You are very kind and honest. I lost it when I was walking my dog. He ran away and I chased him. I was so worried. This bag has everything I need. My wallet, my phone, my keys, and my picture of my husband. He died last year and this is the only thing I have left of him. You have made me very happy." + +She gives Anna and Ben a big hug and a kiss. She also gives them some candy and a sticker. She thanks them again and walks away with her dog. + +Anna and Ben are happy too. They have done a good thing. They share the candy and the sticker. They play with their dolls and cars. They are perfect friends. +Lila and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big truck with a picture of an elephant on it. They wanted to see the elephant, so they followed the truck to a big tent. + +Inside the tent, they saw a sad elephant chained to a pole. The elephant had a bandage on one ear and could not hear well. Lila and Ben felt sorry for the elephant and wanted to help it. They looked around and saw a key on a table. They took the key and ran to the elephant. + +"Hello, elephant," Lila said softly. "We are here to rescue you. We will take you to a nice place where you can be happy and free." + +The elephant looked at Lila and Ben with big eyes. It lifted its trunk and touched their faces gently. It seemed to understand them and trust them. Lila and Ben used the key to unlock the chain and set the elephant free. + +"Come on, elephant, follow us," Ben said. "We will take you to the park. There you can play with the grass and the trees and the flowers." + +The elephant nodded and followed Lila and Ben. They sneaked out of the tent and ran to the park. They were happy and excited. They did not see the angry man who owned the elephant. He had heard the noise and saw the empty chain. He grabbed a whip and a gun and ran after them. + +When they reached the park, Lila and Ben showed the elephant their favorite spot. They played with the elephant and hugged it. They did not hear the angry man who came behind them. He raised his whip and his gun and shouted. + +"Stop! That's my elephant! Give it back or I'll shoot!" + +Lila and Ben turned around and saw the angry man. They were scared and shocked. They tried to run away, but it was too late. The angry man whipped the elephant and shot Lila and Ben. They fell to the ground and did not move. The elephant cried and tried to protect them, but it could not. The angry man dragged the elephant back to the truck and drove away. + +The end. + +Moral: Do not steal from others, even if you think you are doing good. You may get hurt or cause harm to others. Ask for help from someone who can help you safely. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big cable that goes from one tree to another. They want to try it. + +"Can we slide on the cable?" Lily asks Ben. + +"I don't know. It looks high and fast," Ben says. + +They go closer to the cable. They see a man with a helmet and a belt. He is sliding on the cable. He has a ring in his hand. He uses the ring to hold the cable. + +"Hello, kids. Do you want to try the cable?" the man says. He is smiling. He is compassionate. He likes to help people. + +"Yes, please!" Lily says. She is brave and curious. + +"Me too!" Ben says. He is scared but he wants to be with Lily. + +The man helps them put on helmets and belts. He gives them each a ring. He tells them how to slide on the cable. + +"Ready, set, go!" the man says. + +Lily and Ben slide on the cable. They feel the wind in their hair. They see the trees and the sky. They hear the birds and the people. They are happy and excited. + +They reach the other tree. The man is waiting for them. He helps them get off the cable. + +"Did you like it?" the man asks. + +"Yes, it was fun!" Lily says. + +"Thank you, mister!" Ben says. + +"You're welcome, kids. You did great!" the man says. + +Lily and Ben hug the man. They say goodbye. They run back to their mom. They tell her about the cable and the ring and the compassionate man. They want to do it again. +Lily and Anna are best friends. They like to play with dolls and makeup. One day, they find a big box of makeup in Lily's mom's room. They want to try it on. + +"Can we use this makeup?" Lily asks Anna. + +"I don't know. Maybe we should ask your mom first," Anna says. + +"No, let's just play. It will be fun. We can guess what each color is for," Lily says. + +She opens the box and takes out a red lipstick. She puts it on her lips and smiles. "Look, I'm a princess," she says. + +Anna picks up a blue eyeshadow. She rubs it on her eyelids and blinks. "Look, I'm a fairy," she says. + +They take turns using different makeup items. They laugh and pretend to be different characters. They don't notice that they are making a mess. + +Suddenly, they hear Lily's mom coming upstairs. They get scared and hide under the bed. They hope she won't see them. + +Lily's mom enters the room and sees the makeup box on the floor. She sees the lipstick marks on the mirror, the eyeshadow stains on the pillow, and the blush smears on the wall. She gasps and looks around. + +"Who did this?" she asks in a loud voice. + +Lily and Anna stay quiet under the bed. They hold each other's hands. They are loyal friends. They don't want to get in trouble. + +But they also know they did something wrong. They feel sorry and ashamed. They decide to come out and tell the truth. + +They crawl out from under the bed and look at Lily's mom. They have makeup all over their faces. They look funny and sad. + +"We did it, mom. We're sorry. We just wanted to play," Lily says. + +"We didn't mean to make a mess. We were guessing what each color is for," Anna says. + +Lily's mom sighs and shakes her head. She is angry and disappointed. But she also loves her daughter and her friend. She knows they are young and curious. + +She hugs them and says, "I'm glad you told me the truth. But you should never use my makeup without asking. It is not a toy. It is for grown-ups. And you should always clean up after yourselves. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, mom. We understand. We're sorry," Lily and Anna say. + +They help Lily's mom clean up the room. They wash their faces and put away the makeup. They promise to never do it again. + +Lily's mom smiles and says, "It's okay. I forgive you. But next time, if you want to play with makeup, you can ask me. I can show you how to use it properly. And maybe we can have a makeover together. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Anna smile and say, "That sounds great. Thank you, mom." + +They hug Lily's mom and thank her for being nice. They are happy and grateful. They are still best friends. They are still loyal. And they still like to play with dolls and makeup. But only with permission. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a brown gun. It is a toy gun. It makes a loud noise when they pull the trigger. + +"Bang! Bang!" Tom says. He points the gun at Sam. "You are a bad guy. I am a good guy." + +Sam laughs. He runs away from Tom. He hides behind a tree. He has a stick. He pretends it is a sword. "No, you are a bad guy. I am a good guy." He says. + +Tom chases Sam. He tries to find him. He hears a noise. He turns around. Sam jumps out from behind the tree. He swings his stick at Tom. + +"Pow! Pow!" Sam says. He hits Tom with his stick. "I got you. You are dead." + +Tom falls to the ground. He pretends he is dead. He closes his eyes. He does not move. + +Sam claps his hands. He is happy. He won the game. He goes to Tom. He pokes him with his stick. "Hey, Tom. Wake up. Let's play again." + +Tom opens his eyes. He smiles. He is not really dead. He is just playing. He likes to play with Sam. He gets up. He hugs Sam. + +"OK, Sam. Let's play again. But this time, I am the good guy. And you are the bad guy." He says. + +Sam nods. He agrees. He likes to play with Tom. They are friends. They run to the slide. They have fun. They play with their brown gun and their stick. They make loud noises. They clap their hands. They are happy. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. One day, they found a big pumpkin on the shelf. It was orange and round and had a funny face on it. + +"Let's make pumpkin soup!" said Tom. + +"OK!" said Lily. "I'll cut the pumpkin and you get the water." + +They took the pumpkin to the table and Lily tried to cut it with a knife. But the knife was too dull and the pumpkin was too hard. She pushed and pushed, but nothing happened. + +"Help me, Tom!" she said. + +Tom came over and tried to help. He pushed and pushed, but nothing happened. Then he smelled something bad. + +"Yuck!" he said. "This pumpkin is rotten!" + +He looked at the pumpkin and saw that it was brown and mushy inside. It had worms and flies in it. It was very gross. + +"Who put this pumpkin on the shelf?" he asked. + +"I don't know," said Lily. "Maybe it was the friendly witch who lives next door. She likes to give us treats sometimes." + +"Maybe she gave us a trick this time," said Tom. "She is not very friendly after all." + +They threw the pumpkin in the trash and ran away from the kitchen. They decided to play something else. They did not want to make pumpkin soup anymore. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with books. They had many books in their room, but their favorite was the big dictionary. The dictionary had many words and pictures, and they liked to learn new things. + +One day, they decided to play a game with the dictionary. They took turns to open the book and point to a word. The other twin had to say what the word meant, or make a sentence with it. If they did not know, they had to say "I don't know". + +Ben opened the book and pointed to a word. He said, "Lay. What does lay mean?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She remembered that lay was something that chickens did with eggs. She said, "Lay means to make an egg. Like a chicken lays an egg." + +Ben nodded. He said, "Good. Now make a sentence with lay." + +Lily said, "I lay on my bed when I am sleepy." + +Ben said, "That's not right. You don't lay, you lie. Lay is for things, not people." + +Lily said, "No, you are wrong. I can lay if I want to." + +Ben said, "No, you can't. The dictionary says so. Look." He showed her the page with the word lay. + +Lily looked at the page. She saw many words, but she did not understand them. She said, "I don't care what the dictionary says. It is too hard. I can lay if I want to." + +Ben said, "You are deaf. You don't listen to me or the dictionary. You are a bad player." + +Lily said, "You are mean. You don't let me play how I want to. You are a bad brother." + +They started to argue and shout. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. They did not see their dad coming into their room. They did not notice that he picked up the dictionary and put it on the shelf. + +He said, "Enough. You two need to stop fighting and come to eat. The dictionary is not a toy. It is a book for learning. You can look at it later, but you need to be careful and respectful. And you need to listen to each other and to me. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily stopped arguing and looked at their dad. They felt sorry for being rude and loud. They said, "Yes, dad. We understand. We are sorry." + +Their dad smiled and hugged them. He said, "It's okay. I love you both. Now let's go and have some lunch. Maybe we can learn some new words together later." + +Ben and Lily nodded and followed their dad. They left the dictionary on the shelf, but they did not forget it. They still liked to play with it, but they learned to be more careful and kind. And they learned to use lay and lie correctly. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two coal eyes. + +"Look, our snowman is very fat!" Tom says. + +"Yes, he is. He needs a glove to keep his hand warm," Sam says. + +They look around for a glove. They see a red glove on the ground. It is near a big tree. + +"Let's go get it!" Tom says. + +They run to the glove. But they are not alone. A small dog is also running to the glove. The dog is black and white. He has a pink tongue and a curly tail. + +"Who are you?" Sam asks the dog. + +The dog barks. He picks up the glove in his mouth. He shakes his head. He does not want to share. + +"Hey, that is our glove!" Tom says. + +He tries to take the glove from the dog. The dog growls. He runs away with the glove. + +"Come back!" Sam says. + +They chase the dog. The dog is fast. He runs behind the tree. They follow him. But they do not see the dog. They see a girl. The girl is wearing a red coat and a red hat. She is holding the dog in her arms. She is smiling. + +"Hello," she says. "This is my dog. His name is Spot. He likes to play with gloves. He found this one in the snow. Do you want to play with us?" + +Tom and Sam look at each other. They look at the girl. They look at the dog. They look at the glove. + +"OK," they say. + +They make friends with the girl and the dog. They play with the glove. They throw it and catch it. They have fun. They forget about the snowman. They are happy. They meet a new friend. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big sack near the slide. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's remove the sack and look," Lily said. + +"OK," Ben said. They ran to the sack and pulled it. But it was very heavy. They could not move it. + +"Maybe it has something good inside. Maybe toys or candy," Lily said. + +"Maybe," Ben said. He tried to open the sack. But it was tied with a strong rope. He could not untie it. + +"Let me try," Lily said. She took the rope and pulled it. But it was too strong. She could not untie it either. + +They heard a loud noise. They looked up. They saw a big man coming. He was angry. He had a big stick in his hand. + +"Hey, you! What are you doing with my sack?" he shouted. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the rope and ran away. But the man was faster. He caught them and hit them with his stick. He was very mean. + +He took them to his car and put them in the trunk. He drove away with his sack. He did not care about Lily and Ben. He only cared about his sack. + +Lily and Ben cried. They did not know where he was taking them. They did not know what he had in his sack. They wished they had never touched it. They wished they had stayed on the slide. They wished they had listened to their mom. She had told them not to talk to strangers. She had told them to be careful. She had told them she loved them. But they did not listen. They were in big trouble. They did not know if they would ever see their mom again. +Lily liked to be organized. She had a place for everything in her room. She put her toys in the toy box, her books on the shelf, and her clothes in the closet. She liked to make her bed every morning and tidy up before she went to sleep. + +One day, Lily had a play date with her friend Max. Max came to her house with his mom. Lily was happy to see him and showed him her room. But Max did not like to be organized. He took out all the toys from the toy box and threw them on the floor. He pulled out all the books from the shelf and made a pile. He opened the closet and tossed the clothes around. He jumped on the bed and messed up the sheets. + +Lily was not happy. She asked Max to stop and help her put everything back. But Max did not listen. He said it was more fun to make a mess. He ran around the room and laughed. Lily felt sad and angry. She did not want to play with Max anymore. She sat on the bed and sighed. + +Lily's mom heard the noise and came to the room. She saw the mess and was surprised. She asked Lily what happened. Lily told her that Max did it and did not help her. Lily's mom said she was sorry and that she would talk to Max's mom. She hugged Lily and said she was proud of her for being organized. She said they would wait for Max's mom to come and then they would clean up together. + +Lily felt a little better. She thanked her mom and gave her a kiss. She hoped that Max would learn to be organized too. She wondered if they could still be friends. She decided to wait and see. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Anna says. "You can go first, I will push you." + +Ben shakes his head. "No, no, no. It is too high. I don't like it." + +Anna looks at the slide. She sees a cable hanging from the top. She has an idea. + +"Look, Ben, there is a cable. You can hold the cable and slide down. It will be easy and safe. Do you want to try?" + +Ben looks at the cable. He is still scared, but he is curious. He nods. + +"Okay, okay. I will try. But you have to push me gently." + +Anna smiles. She helps Ben climb up the slide. She gives him the cable. She pushes him gently. + +"Yay, Ben, you did it!" Anna cheers. "How do you feel?" + +Ben feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He feels happy and proud. He smiles. + +"I feel good, Anna. Thank you for pushing me. That was fun. Can we do it again?" +Ben and Lily were playing in the backyard. They had a big box that they pretended was a spaceship. Ben was the captain and Lily was the co-pilot. They had a toy gun that they used to shoot at the aliens. + +"Look, there's a green alien!" Ben shouted, pointing at the fence. He aimed his gun and made a loud noise. "Pew, pew, pew!" + +Lily looked and saw their neighbor, Mr. Lee, wearing a green bathrobe. He was watering his flowers. He was not an alien. He was a nice man who sometimes gave them cookies. + +"Ben, stop! That's not an alien, that's Mr. Lee!" Lily said, pulling Ben's arm. + +Mr. Lee heard the noise and turned around. He saw Ben and Lily in their box. He smiled and waved. + +"Hello, Ben and Lily. Are you having fun?" he asked. + +"Yes, we are playing spaceship. We are shooting at aliens. But you are not an alien. You are our friend." Ben said, feeling a little embarrassed. + +"That's right, I'm your friend. And I like your spaceship. It's very creative." Mr. Lee said, complimenting them. + +"Thank you, Mr. Lee. Do you want to play with us?" Lily asked, inviting him. + +"Maybe another time, Lily. I have to finish watering my flowers. But you can have some cookies later, if you want." Mr. Lee said, offering them a treat. + +"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lee. We will come later. Bye!" Ben and Lily said, waving back. + +They went back to their spaceship and continued their adventure. They had a lot of fun, but they also learned to be careful with their gun. They did not want to shoot at their friends by mistake. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They live on a big ranch with many animals. They like to help their dad with the chores. Today, they have to polish the saddles and the boots. + +"Look, Sam, I can make this saddle shiny!" Ben says. He rubs a cloth on the leather. He likes how it feels. + +"Me too, Ben!" Sam says. He polishes his own saddle. He tries to make it as shiny as Ben's. + +Their dad comes to check on them. He smiles and says, "Good job, boys! You are very helpful. Do you want to go for a ride?" + +"Yes, please, dad!" Ben and Sam say. They love to ride the horses. They put on their boots and their hats. They grab their saddles and follow their dad. + +They go outside. The sun is bright and the sky is clear. They see the cows and the sheep and the chickens. They hear the birds and the dogs. They feel the wind and the grass. They are happy. They love their ranch. +Lily liked to record sounds with her toy phone. She liked to record her voice, her dog's bark, and her mom's songs. She wanted to record something new and exciting. + +One day, she went to the zoo with her dad. She saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and zebras. She recorded some of their noises, but she was not very happy. She wanted to find a special animal, one that she had never seen before. + +She saw a sign that said "Kangaroo". She did not know what a kangaroo was, but it sounded fun. She followed the sign and saw a big fence. Behind the fence, there were some brown animals with long legs and tails. They looked like big rabbits, but they could hop very high. Lily thought they were amazing. She ran to the fence and held her toy phone. + +"Hello, kangaroos!" she said. "Can I record your sound?" + +One of the kangaroos heard her and came closer. It looked at her with curiosity. It opened its mouth and made a noise. It sounded like a burp. Lily was shocked. She thought it was disgusting. + +"Yuck!" she said. "That's not a nice sound. That's a rude sound. You are a rude kangaroo!" + +The kangaroo did not understand her. It thought she was playing. It made another burp, louder and longer. Lily dropped her toy phone and ran away. She did not want to record kangaroos anymore. She wanted to record something else, something nice and sweet. + +She found her dad and told him what happened. He laughed and hugged her. He said kangaroos were not rude, they were just different. He said he had a surprise for her. He took her to another fence, where there were some white animals with long necks and fluffy fur. They looked like big sheep, but they could hum. Lily thought they were lovely. She picked up her toy phone and smiled. + +"Hello, alpacas!" she said. "Can I record your sound?" +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But they do not like to share. They always fight over the same toy and make a lot of noise. + +"Give me the car! It is mine!" Lily shouts. + +"No, it is mine! You had it yesterday!" Ben shouts back. + +Their mom is tired of their fighting. She wants some peace. She tells them to stop and play nicely. But they do not listen. They keep fighting and throwing toys. + +Mom gets angry. She takes away all their toys and puts them in a big box. She says they cannot play with them until they learn to share and be quiet. + +Lily and Ben are sad and mad. They have no toys to play with. They have nothing to do. They sit on the couch and pout. They look at the big box and wish they could have their toys back. + +But they do not say sorry to each other. They do not say sorry to mom. They do not learn their lesson. They stay sad and mad. They have no peace. They have a messy living room and a messy heart. The end. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Sara says. "Do you like the snow?" + +Mr. Snowman does not say anything. He just stands there and smiles. + +Tom thinks Mr. Snowman is cold. He touches his arm and feels the snow. He shivers and pulls his hand back. + +"Brrr, Mr. Snowman is very cold!" Tom says. "He needs a coat and gloves." + +Sara nods. She looks around and sees a pile of clothes. They belong to their mom. She is busy inside the house. She is making hot chocolate for them. + +"Let's go get some clothes for Mr. Snowman!" Sara says. "Mom won't mind. She is busy." + +Tom agrees. They run to the pile of clothes and grab a coat, gloves, and boots. They put them on Mr. Snowman. They think he looks very warm and cozy. + +"There, Mr. Snowman!" Sara says. "Now you are not cold anymore!" + +Mr. Snowman still does not say anything. He just stands there and smiles. + +Sara and Tom wonder what he is thinking. They wonder if he likes his new clothes. They wonder if he can talk. They wonder if he has a family. + +They decide to ask him. + +"Mr. Snowman, can you talk?" Sara asks. + +"Mr. Snowman, do you have a family?" Tom asks. + +Mr. Snowman still does not say anything. He just stands there and smiles. + +Sara and Tom are puzzled. They do not understand why Mr. Snowman does not answer. They think maybe he is shy. They think maybe he is lonely. They think maybe he is happy. + +They decide to be his friends. + +"Mr. Snowman, we are your friends!" Sara says. + +"Mr. Snowman, we will play with you!" Tom says. + +Mr. Snowman still does not say anything. He just stands there and smiles. + +Sara and Tom smile back. They hug him and kiss him. They think he is the best snowman ever. They think he is very special. They think he is very happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big net on the grass. It was for catching butterflies. Lily wanted to catch one. She ran to the net and picked it up. + +"Look, Ben, I have a net!" she said. + +Ben followed her. He saw a butterfly flying near a flower. He pointed to it. + +"Let's catch it, Lily!" he said. + +They ran to the flower. But the butterfly flew away. They ran after it. But the butterfly was too fast. They could not catch it. + +They saw another butterfly. It was on a tree. It was yellow and black. It was very pretty. + +"Wow, look at that one!" Lily said. + +She wanted to catch it too. She ran to the tree. She tried to reach the butterfly with the net. But the tree was too tall. She could not reach it. + +She saw a hole in the tree. It was dark and small. She had an idea. + +"Maybe the butterfly will go in the hole," she said. "Then I can catch it with the net." + +She put the net over the hole. She waited for the butterfly. + +Ben watched her. He did not like the hole. He was fearful. He thought something bad might be in the hole. + +"Lily, don't do that," he said. "The hole is scary. There might be a snake or a spider or a monster in the hole." + +Lily did not listen. She wanted the butterfly. She waited and waited. + +Suddenly, something moved in the hole. It was not the butterfly. It was a big rat. It was brown and furry. It had sharp teeth and a long tail. It saw the net. It was angry. It wanted to get out. + +It crawled out of the hole. It crawled towards Lily. It made a loud noise. + +Lily saw the rat. She was fearful. She screamed. She dropped the net. She ran away. + +Ben saw the rat too. He was fearful. He screamed. He ran away. + +The rat took the net. It dragged it into the hole. It was happy. It had a new home. + +Lily and Ben ran to their mom. They told her what happened. She hugged them. She said they were brave. She said they should not play with the net again. She said they should play with something else. + +They agreed. They did not want to see the rat again. They did not want to catch butterflies anymore. They wanted to play with the ball. They had fun. They forgot about the net and the rat. They were happy. +Ben likes to play with his toy crane. He can lift and move things with it. He has a lot of fun with his crane. + +One day, he sees a big crane outside his window. It is working on a new building. Ben wants to see it better. He runs to the door and puts on his shoes. He tells his mom he is going out. + +"Wait, Ben!" his mom says. "You need your coat. It is cold outside." + +But Ben does not listen. He rushes out of the door. He runs to the big crane. He is very excited. + +He gets close to the big crane. He sees a man in a yellow hat. The man is driving the crane. He is lifting and moving things with it. Ben thinks the man is having a lot of fun. + +Ben wants to talk to the man. He wants to ask him about the crane. He wants to try the crane. He walks to the man. + +"Hi!" Ben says. "I like your crane. Can I play with it?" + +The man in the yellow hat looks at Ben. He is not happy. He shakes his head. + +"No, you can't," he says. "This is not a toy. This is a tool. It is very big and strong. It can be dangerous. You need to stay away from it." + +Ben is sad. He does not understand. He thinks the crane is like his toy. He thinks the man is mean. + +He turns around and walks away. He sees his mom. She is running to him. She looks worried. + +"Ben, where have you been?" she says. "I was looking for you. You can't run away like that. You can't go near the big crane. It is not safe." + +Ben feels sorry. He knows he did something wrong. He hugs his mom. + +"I'm sorry, mom," he says. "I just wanted to see the crane. I like cranes. They are fun." + +His mom hugs him back. She smiles. + +"I know, Ben," she says. "But you have to be careful. The big crane is not for playing. It is for working. You have your own crane. It is smaller and safer. It is also cheaper. You can play with it at home. Come on, let's go back." + +Ben nods. He holds his mom's hand. They walk back to their house. Ben sees his toy crane. He picks it up. He still likes it. He thinks it is fun. He plays with it in his room. He is happy. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys and watch cartoons. But they do not like to dress up for school. They think it is boring and hard. + +One morning, their mom tells them to get ready for school. She says they have to wear clean clothes and brush their teeth. Tom and Sam do not listen. They hide under the bed and wink at each other. They think they are very clever. + +But their mom is not fooled. She finds them under the bed and pulls them out. She sees that they are wearing smelly clothes and have dirty faces. She is not happy. She says they have to go to school like that. She says they will learn a lesson. + +Tom and Sam are scared. They do not want to go to school like that. They think their friends will laugh at them and their teacher will be angry. They beg their mom to let them change. They say they are sorry and they will dress up nicely. + +Their mom smiles. She says she was joking. She says she has clean clothes and a toothbrush for them. She says she loves them and wants them to be happy and healthy. She says they have to dress up for school because it is good for them. She says they should listen to her and not be lazy. + +Tom and Sam hug their mom. They say they love her and they will listen to her. They say they are sorry and they will dress up for school. They run to the bathroom and wash their faces. They put on their clean clothes and brush their teeth. They look at themselves in the mirror and wink at each other. They think they are very smart. +Sara and Tom are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. Sara finds a bright red mitten on the ground. She puts it on the snowman's hand. + +"Look, Tom, our snowman has a mitten!" Sara says. + +"That's not your mitten, Sara. That's mine!" Tom says. He is angry. He wants his mitten back. + +"No, it's not. I found it. It's mine!" Sara says. She is stubborn. She does not want to give it back. + +"Yes, it is. Give it to me!" Tom says. He pulls the mitten from the snowman's hand. He hears a loud crack. The snowman's arm breaks off and falls to the ground. + +"Tom, you broke our snowman!" Sara says. She is sad. She starts to cry. + +"I don't care. You took my mitten!" Tom says. He is mean. He runs away with his mitten. + +Sara is left alone with the broken snowman. She feels cold and lonely. She wishes she had a friend. She wishes she had a mitten. +Ben and Lily were playing hide and seek in the garden. Ben was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran behind the big tree and waited for Ben to count to ten. + +"Ready or not, here I come!" Ben shouted. He looked around the garden, trying to find Lily. He saw the swing, the slide, the sandbox, but no Lily. He wondered where she could be. + +He walked towards the house, thinking maybe she hid inside. As he got closer, he saw something moving on the roof. He saw a little foot, then a leg, then a head. It was Lily! She had climbed up the ladder and hid on the roof. + +"Lily, I see you!" Ben yelled. "You are on the roof!" + +Lily was surprised. She thought she had found a good hiding spot. She peeked over the edge of the roof and saw Ben looking up at her. + +"Oops, you found me!" she said. "How did you see me?" + +"I saw your foot, then your leg, then your head," Ben said. "You should not hide on the roof. It is not safe. You could fall and hurt yourself." + +Lily felt sorry. She knew Ben was right. She had not been careful or honest. She had cheated in the game. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," she said. "You are a good seeker. I will come down and play fair." + +She carefully climbed down the ladder and hugged Ben. Ben hugged her back and smiled. + +"It's okay, Lily," he said. "I'm glad you are safe. You are a good hider. Let's play again. This time, I will hide and you will seek." + +They ran back to the garden and started a new game. They had fun and played nice. They were good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big fire in the sky. It was orange and red and yellow. It looked pretty. + +"Wow, look at the fire!" Lily said. "It is so bright and warm." + +"Can we go closer?" Ben asked. He wanted to touch the fire. + +"No, no, no!" Lily said. "Fire is dangerous. It can hurt you. It can burn you. It can make you cry." + +"But I want to see it better," Ben said. He was curious. + +He ran towards the fire. Lily followed him. She was scared. + +They came to a fence. Behind the fence, there was a big pile of trash. The trash was on fire. It smelled bad. It was disgusting. + +"Yuck, what is that?" Lily said. She covered her nose. + +"That is not a pretty fire," Ben said. He was disappointed. + +They heard a loud noise. It was a fire truck. It had a siren and a hose. It came to put out the fire. + +"Come on, let's go back," Lily said. She grabbed Ben's hand. + +They ran back to the garden. They found a bench. They sat on the bench. They watched the fire truck. + +"Fire is not fun," Ben said. He was sorry. + +"Fire is not fun," Lily agreed. She hugged him. + +They learned a lesson. They never went near the fire again. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play outside when the sun is bright and warm. They have a big ball that they can kick and throw and bounce. + +One day, they find a new toy in the backyard. It is a long and thin tube that is flexible. It can bend and twist and stretch. Lila and Ben are curious. They pick up the tube and try to make shapes with it. + +"Look, I can make a circle!" Lila says, holding the tube in both hands and making it round. + +"That's cool! I can make a snake!" Ben says, making the tube wiggle and hiss. + +They take turns making different shapes with the tube. They make a heart, a star, a flower, and a letter. They have fun with their new toy. + +But then, they hear a voice from the house. It is their mom, calling them for lunch. + +"Lila! Ben! Come inside, it's time to eat!" Mom says. + +Lila and Ben look at each other. They don't want to stop playing with the tube. They want to make more shapes. + +"Can we bring the tube inside?" Lila asks. + +"No, sweetie, the tube is for outside only. It might get dirty or break something inside. You can play with it later, after lunch." Mom says. + +Lila and Ben are sad. They like the tube. They want to keep it. + +"Please, Mom, can we keep the tube?" Ben begs. + +Mom smiles. She knows how much they like the tube. She has a surprise for them. + +"Okay, okay, you can keep the tube. But you have to share it and take good care of it. Do you know what the tube is?" Mom asks. + +Lila and Ben shake their heads. They don't know what the tube is. + +"It's a hose. You can use it to water the plants or make a fountain or spray each other. It's a very useful and fun toy. But you have to be careful and not waste water or make a mess." Mom explains. + +Lila and Ben are happy. They thank Mom and hug her. They can't wait to try the hose. They run inside to eat their lunch, holding the tube in their hands. They think of all the shapes and games they can make with it. They love their new toy. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they find a big paper and some crayons. They want to write something on the paper. + +"What do you want to write?" Tom asks Sam. + +"I want to write 'peace'. Peace is good. Peace means no fighting and no hurting," Sam says. + +"OK, let's write 'peace' together," Tom says. + +They start to write 'peace' on the paper. They write big letters and use many colors. They are happy. + +But then, Ben comes. Ben is a bad boy. He likes to break things and make fun of others. He sees Tom and Sam writing 'peace' on the paper. + +"What are you doing?" Ben asks. + +"We are writing 'peace'. Peace is good. Do you want to write with us?" Sam asks. + +"No, I don't. Peace is boring. I want to write 'war'. War is fun. War means fighting and hurting," Ben says. + +He grabs a crayon and starts to write 'war' on the paper. He writes over 'peace' and makes it hard to see. He laughs. + +"Stop it! You are ruining our paper!" Tom says. + +"I don't care. It's my paper now. You can't write 'peace' anymore," Ben says. + +He pushes Tom and Sam away. He tears the paper in half. He throws the pieces on the ground. He runs away. + +Tom and Sam are sad. They look at the broken paper. They can't write 'peace' anymore. They cry. + +The moral of the story is: Writing 'peace' is better than writing 'war'. Writing 'peace' makes people happy. Writing 'war' makes people sad. Writing 'war' hurts people and things. Writing 'peace' helps people and things. We should write 'peace' and not 'war'. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. Sometimes they also play with Mom's phone. Mom says they can only use it for a little time, and they have to be careful. + +One night, Anna and Ben cannot sleep. They see Mom's phone on the table. It glows in the dark. They want to play with it. They sneak out of their bed and grab the phone. They turn it on and see many colors and pictures. They laugh and tap the phone. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to their room. She sees Anna and Ben with her phone. She is angry. She takes the phone from them and says, "What are you doing? You know you are not supposed to play with my phone at night. It is bad for your eyes and your sleep. And you could break it or lose it. This is my phone, not your toy. You have to respect my things and follow my rules." + +Anna and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We just wanted to have some fun. We did not mean to make you mad. We will not do it again." + +Mom hugs them and says, "I love you, but you have to learn to listen and obey. Playing with my phone at night is not fun, it is dangerous and rude. You have many toys that you can play with in the day. And you need to sleep well at night, so you can grow and be healthy and happy. Now, go back to your bed and close your eyes. I will turn off the phone and put it away." + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "Okay, Mom. We love you too. Good night." + +They go back to their bed and snuggle under their blanket. They feel tight and warm. They fall asleep and dream of nice things. They learn their lesson and never play with Mom's phone at night again. +Sara and Ben moved to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes to unpack. Sara wanted to unpack her toys and books first. Ben wanted to unpack his cars and trains first. They both ran to the big box that said "Kids" on it. + +"Let me open it!" Sara said. + +"No, me!" Ben said. + +They pulled and pushed the box, but it was too heavy. They started to cry. + +Mom and Dad heard them and came to help. They lifted the box and opened it. + +"Look, Sara and Ben, you have so many things to unpack!" Mom said. "Why don't you take turns and share?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They wiped their tears and smiled. + +Mom and Dad gave them each a sweet kiss and a sweet cookie. + +"Thank you, Mom and Dad!" Sara and Ben said. + +They started to unpack their things and put them in their new rooms. They liked their new house. It was in the west, where the sun set. They could see the orange sky from their windows. They felt happy and cozy. +Lily and Ben were friends who lived in the same country. They liked to play outside and explore new places. One day, they found a big hill with many trees and flowers. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go up the hill!" Ben said. + +"OK, Ben, but we have to be careful. We don't know what is up there. Maybe there are animals or people who are not nice," Lily said. + +They held hands and started to walk up the hill. They saw many birds and bugs and heard many sounds. They were not scared, because they were together. + +When they reached the top of the hill, they saw a big lake with clear water. They also saw a small house with a fence and a garden. They saw a man and a woman who were working in the garden. They looked friendly and harmless. + +"Hello, who are you?" the man asked. + +"We are Lily and Ben. We live in the same country as you. We climbed the hill to see what was on the other side. We are sorry if we mind you," Lily said. + +"You don't mind us at all. We are happy to see you. We are Tom and Sue. We live here by the lake. Do you want to come and see our house and garden? We have some cookies and juice for you," Sue said. + +Lily and Ben smiled and nodded. They followed Tom and Sue to their house. They saw many things that they liked. They saw a dog and a cat who were friendly and harmless. They saw books and toys and pictures. They ate cookies and drank juice and talked with Tom and Sue. + +They had a lot of fun and learned many things. They thanked Tom and Sue for their kindness and said goodbye. They walked down the hill and went back to their home. They told their parents about their adventure and their new friends. They were happy and proud. They wanted to go back to the hill and the lake and the house again. +Sara and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a small table and two chairs. They pretend they are having a tea party. Sara has a toy teapot and cups. Ben has a toy cake and plates. + +"Would you like some tea, Ben?" Sara asks. She sets the teapot on the table and pours some water into a cup. + +"Yes, please, Sara," Ben says. He sets the cake on a plate and cuts a slice. "And would you like some cake, Sara?" + +"Yes, please, Ben," Sara says. She takes the cup and the plate. She sips the water and bites the cake. "Mmm, this tea is good. And this cake has a nice taste. What is it?" + +"It is a chocolate cake," Ben says. He sips his water and bites his cake. "I like chocolate. It is sweet and yummy." + +They smile at each other and enjoy their tea party. They feel happy and safe in the garden. They hear their mom calling them from the house. + +"Time to come in, Sara and Ben," mom says. "It is getting dark and cold. You can play again tomorrow." + +"Okay, mom," Sara and Ben say. They pack their toys and run to the house. They hug their mom and tell her about their tea party. + +"That sounds like fun," mom says. "You are very good at playing together. Now, let's have some real dinner. I made your favorite soup." + +Sara and Ben wash their hands and sit at the table. They smell the soup and see the bread. They are hungry and excited. + +"Thank you, mom," Sara and Ben say. They spoon the soup and bite the bread. "This soup is warm and good. And this bread has a nice taste. What is it?" + +"It is a cheese bread," mom says. She smiles and joins them. "I like cheese. It is soft and tasty." + +They smile at each other and enjoy their dinner. They feel happy and safe in the house. They love their mom and each other. +Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They have a big tree with a swing. They take turns to push each other on the swing. They laugh and have fun. + +One day, they see a bird on the tree. The bird is blue and yellow. It has a shiny beak. Sara and Ben want to say hello to the bird. They climb up the tree and get closer to the bird. + +"Hello, bird," Sara says. "What is your name?" + +The bird looks at Sara and Ben. It does not say anything. It flies away. Sara and Ben are sad. They want the bird to be their friend. + +They go back to the swing. They see a jar on the ground. The jar is full of jam. The jam is red and sweet. Sara and Ben like jam. They wonder who left the jar there. + +They hear a voice behind them. It is an old man. He has a hat and a cane. He looks angry. + +"Hey, you two," the old man says. "That is my jam. I put it there for the bird. The bird likes my jam. It is the only way I can make the bird come back. Give me back my jam." + +Sara and Ben are scared. They do not want to make the old man mad. They give him back the jar of jam. They say sorry to the old man. + +The old man takes the jar and walks away. He mutters to himself. He hopes the bird will return. + +Sara and Ben feel bad. They did not know the jam was for the bird. They wish they could help the old man and the bird. + +They decide to make a card for the old man and the bird. They draw a picture of the tree, the swing, the jar, and the bird. They write "We are sorry. We hope you and the bird are happy." + +They leave the card on the ground where the jar was. They hope the old man and the bird will see it. They hope they will forgive them. They hope they will be friends. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw a big bush. She thought Ben might be hidden behind it. + +She tiptoed to the bush and peeked behind it. She saw Ben's shoes sticking out. She smiled and said, "I found you, Ben!" + +Ben heard Lily's voice and jumped out of the bush. He tried to run away, but Lily caught him. She hugged him and gave him a kiss on the neck. Ben giggled and said, "That tickles, Lily!" + +Lily and Ben laughed and fell on the grass. They looked at the sky and saw the clouds. They saw a cloud that looked like a heart. They pointed at it and said, "Look, a heart!" + +They smiled and gave each other another kiss on the neck. They were happy and did not want to stop playing. They did not see their mom watching them from the window. She smiled and said, "How sweet, they love each other!" +Lily was a little cat who lived with her family in a big house. She liked to play with her brothers and sisters, and to curl up with her mom and dad. Every morning, she would stretch her legs and tail, and yawn loudly. + +One day, she saw a big open window in the living room. She was curious and wanted to see what was outside. She jumped on the couch and looked out. She saw birds and trees and cars and people. She thought it looked fun and exciting. + +She heard her mom call her name. "Lily, come here. It's time for breakfast." But Lily did not listen. She wanted to go outside and explore. She climbed on the window sill and jumped out. + +She landed on the grass and felt the sun on her fur. She ran around and chased a butterfly. She did not see the big dog that was coming towards her. The dog saw her and barked loudly. He ran after her and caught her in his mouth. + +Lily was scared and hurt. She cried and tried to get away. She wished she had listened to her mom and stayed inside. She missed her family and wanted to go back. But it was too late. The dog shook her and carried her away. Lily was gone. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They use the slide, the swing and the seesaw. They have fun. + +"Look, Lily, a big hill!" Ben says. "Let's go up and see what is there." + +"OK, Ben, let's go!" Lily says. They run to the hill and start to climb. It is hard. They get tired. + +"Are we there yet, Ben?" Lily asks. + +"Almost, Lily, almost. I see something shiny on top. Maybe it is a treasure!" Ben says. + +They keep climbing. They reach the top. They see a big metal ball. It is shiny and round. It has a hole in it. + +"What is this, Ben?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it is a spaceship. Maybe we can use it to fly to the moon!" Ben says. + +They go inside the ball. It is dark and cold. They hear a strange noise. + +"Ben, I don't like this. I want to go back!" Lily says. + +"Me too, Lily. Me too. This is not a spaceship. This is a scary thing. Let's find a way out!" Ben says. + +They look for the hole. They can't find it. They are scared. They cry. + +"Help! Help! Someone help us!" they shout. + +A man hears them. He is a worker. He is fixing the ball. It is not a spaceship. It is a water tank. He opens the hole. He sees Lily and Ben. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing here? This is not a place to play. This is dangerous. Come out, quickly!" he says. + +He helps them out. He is angry. He is also kind. + +"Don't ever do that again, kids. You could get hurt. Go back to the park. Play with the slide, the swing and the seesaw. They are safe and fun." he says. + +"Thank you, mister. We are sorry. We won't do that again." Lily and Ben say. + +They run back to the park. They are happy. They are also tired. They use the bench to rest. They hug each other. + +"That was a scary adventure, Ben." Lily says. + +"Yes, Lily, it was. But we are OK. We are friends. We have each other." Ben says. + +They smile. They close their eyes. They fall asleep. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a dog. The dog is hungry and sad. He has no home and no food. + +"Look, a dog!" Anna says. "He is so cute. Can we speak to him?" + +"OK, but be careful. He might be scared," Ben says. They go near the dog and say hello. + +The dog wags his tail. He likes Anna and Ben. They are kind and compassionate. They give him some food from their lunch. The dog eats the food and licks their hands. + +"Thank you, thank you," the dog says. "You are my friends. Can I stay with you?" + +Anna and Ben smile. They hug the dog. They want to help him. + +"Of course you can stay with us," Anna says. "We will find you a home. You can be our pet." + +The dog is happy. He has found new friends. He follows Anna and Ben to their house. They ask their mom and dad if they can keep the dog. Their mom and dad say yes. They are compassionate too. + +Anna and Ben name the dog Lucky. They play with him every day. They speak to him and feed him and love him. Lucky is no longer hungry and sad. He is lucky. +Lily and Sam went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. Lily liked the lions best. She said, "They are big and strong and have loud roars." Sam liked the monkeys best. He said, "They are funny and smart and have long tails." + +After they saw the animals, they were hungry. Mom and Dad took them to the zoo cafe. They had sandwiches, apples, and juice. Lily and Sam ate their food. They said, "This is delicious. Thank you, Mom and Dad." Mom and Dad smiled and said, "You're welcome. We're glad you like it." + +Then they saw a sign that said, "Feed the giraffes." Lily and Sam wanted to feed the giraffes. They asked Mom and Dad, "Can we feed the giraffes, please?" Mom and Dad said, "Yes, you can. But be careful. They have long necks and big tongues." They bought some carrots and lettuce from the zoo keeper. They walked to the giraffe enclosure. + +The giraffes were tall and spotted. They stretched their necks and licked their lips. Lily and Sam held out their hands with the carrots and lettuce. The giraffes ate the food from their hands. They said, "Mmm, this is delicious. Thank you, Lily and Sam."

She puts him inside and says, "You have to stay here until you say sorry for stealing the candy." + +"No, I won't say sorry! I'm independent! I can do what I want!" Ben says, crossing his arms. He does not like being in the jail. He wants to play something else. + +"Too bad, robber. You have to follow the rules. Or you can't play with me anymore." Anna says, walking away. She is proud of being the cop. She likes to catch bad guys. + +Ben feels sad and lonely. He looks at the candy in his bag. He realizes that he was wrong to take it. He wants to be friends with Anna again. He decides to say sorry. + +"Anna, wait! I'm sorry for stealing the candy. Can we play something else?" Ben yells, hoping Anna will hear him. Anna turns around and smiles. She comes back to the sandbox and lets Ben out. + +"Okay, I forgive you. But you have to share the candy with me. And next time, you can be the cop and I'll be the robber." Anna says, holding out her hand. Ben nods and gives her some candy. They hug and run to the swing set.

They wondered what was inside. + +"Maybe it's a treasure," Lily said. + +"Or a monster," Max said. + +They tried to open the box, but it was too hard. They looked around for something to break the lock. They saw a hammer on a shelf. + +"Let's use that," Max said. He climbed on a chair and reached for the hammer. + +"Be careful," Lily said. "Don't make noise. Mom and Dad will hear us." + +Max grabbed the hammer and jumped down.

Stop that! Come here!" He called the dog. The dog obeyed. He left the fish and went to the man. The man put a leash on the dog. He apologized to Tom and Anna. + +"I'm sorry, kids. He is a good dog, but he likes to chase things. He did not mean to hurt your fish. He is important to you, right?" + +Tom and Anna nodded. They were glad the man came. They thanked him. + +"Yes, he is important to us. His name is Bob. He is our friend." + +The man smiled. He petted the dog. + +"That's nice. Bob is a good name for a fish. He is lucky to have you as friends. And you are lucky to have him. He is a beautiful fish." + +Tom and Anna smiled too. They agreed. + +"Yes, he is. We love him very much." + +They hugged the bowl.

Tom and Mia say. + +They look at the water and the surfers. They have an idea. + +They find two big leaves on the ground. They pretend they are surf boards.

He thought his car was the best. + +"No, it is not. Your car is too big and too expensive. It does not fit anywhere. It is not fun. My car is better than yours. It is smaller and cheaper. It can fit in many places. It is more fun." Lily said. She was hurt and brave. She loved her car. + +They started to argue and shout. They did not want to play together anymore. They moved to different sides of the room. They were lonely and bored. They missed each other. + +After a while, they looked at each other. They felt sorry and silly.

Tom asks. + +"Yes, I like it. It is funny. But I want to make a new poem. Can we mix the words and make a new poem?" Lily says. + +"OK, let us try. How about 'The hat sat on the cat and wore a mat.' Is that a good poem?" Tom says. + +Lily laughs. "No, that is a silly poem. The hat is too big for the cat. And the mat is not for wearing. Let us try again. How about 'The mat sat on the hat and wore a cat.' Is that a good poem?" Lily says. + +Tom laughs too. "No, that is a sillier poem. The mat is too heavy for the hat. And the cat is not for wearing either. Let us try one more time. How about 'The cat wore a hat and sat on a mat. The hat wore a cat and sat on a mat too.' Is that a good poem?" Tom says. + +Lily thinks. "Yes, that is a good poem. It is funny and it rhymes. I like it. We made a new poem with words. We are good at mixing words. We are poets!" Lily says. + +Tom smiles.

She is at the store." + +The man said, "Oh, come on, don't be shy. I have some nice toys for you, too. Just open the door and I will show you." He tried to open the door, but it was locked. + +Lily said, "No, no, no. Leave me alone. I don't want any toys. I have Anna. She is my best friend. Go away, go away, go away!" + +She ran to her room and hugged Anna. She was very scared. She wished her mom would come back soon. She hoped the man would leave. + +She heard the man say, "Fine, fine, fine. You are a rude girl. I will go. But I will come back another day. And then you will see." He walked away. + +Lily was relieved. She said, "Anna, you are my hero. You helped me be brave. I love you, Anna." She kissed Anna and waited for her mom. She hoped her mom would be proud of her. She hoped the man would never come back. She was a good daughter. She was a smart daughter. She was a happy daughter. +Lily and Tom were playing in the attic. They liked to pretend they were explorers and find old things. They saw a big box with a lock on it. They wanted to open it and see what was inside. + +"Maybe there are treasures or toys or books in there," Lily said. + +"Or maybe there are spiders or rats or ghosts in there," Tom said. + +They tried to pull the lock, but it was too hard. They looked around for something to break it. They saw a hammer on a shelf. They also saw a lot of cobwebs on the shelf. + +"Look, there are cobwebs everywhere. That means there are spiders here. I don't like spiders. They are scary and hairy and bitey," Tom said. + +"Don't be silly. Spiders are not scary. They are small and quiet and make beautiful webs. Cobwebs are just old webs that nobody uses. They are not harmful. They are just dusty," Lily said. + +They started to discuss who was right. Lily said spiders were good and cobwebs were pretty. Tom said spiders were bad and cobwebs were ugly. They raised their voices and argued. They did not listen to each other. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was their mom coming up the stairs. She was angry. + +"What are you two doing here? You are not supposed to play in the attic. It is dirty and dangerous. And why are you shouting at each other? You are supposed to be nice and polite. I am very disappointed in you. You should be ashamed of yourselves," she said. + +Lily and Tom felt ashamed. They knew they had done something wrong. They had disobeyed their mom and fought with each other. They had not been good explorers. They had been bad children. + +They said sorry to their mom and to each other. They hugged and made up. They left the attic and the box and the cobwebs behind. They decided to play something else in their room. They learned their lesson. They promised to be better next time. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toys. Lila had a large elephant that she liked very much. Ben had a small car that he liked very much. They were having fun, but then they wanted to play a game. + +"Let's see who can make their toy go faster," Ben said. "The one who wins gets both toys." + +"OK," Lila said. She liked games, and she thought her elephant was fast. + +They put their toys on the floor and pushed them. The car zoomed ahead, but the elephant was slow. Ben laughed and said, "I win, I win! Give me your elephant!" + +Lila felt sad and angry. She did not want to give her elephant to Ben. She loved her elephant. She said, "No, it's not fair! You cheated! Your car is smaller and lighter. My elephant is large and heavy. That's why it's slow." + +Ben did not listen. He grabbed the elephant from Lila and said, "Too bad, you lost. The game is the game. Now the elephant is mine." + +Lila cried and tried to get her elephant back, but Ben was stronger. He pushed her away and ran to his room with both toys. Lila was left alone, with no toys and no friend. She wished she never played the game. She wished she still had her elephant. She wished Ben was nice. +Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They have a big kite with a long string. They want to fly the kite in the sky, but there is no wind. + +"Let's attach the kite to the bike," Ben says. "Then we can make it go fast and high." + +"OK," Lila says. "But be careful. The kite is wild. It can go anywhere." + +They attach the kite to the bike with a knot. Ben gets on the bike and Lila holds the string. Ben pedals hard and the kite lifts off the ground. + +"Wow, look at the kite!" Lila says. "It is so big and colorful!" + +The kite flies higher and higher, but it also moves left and right. It is wild. It does not follow the bike. + +"Uh-oh," Ben says. "The kite is going too far. It is going to the trees." + +The kite gets closer and closer to the trees. Lila tries to pull the string, but it is too late. The kite gets stuck in a branch. + +"Oh no, our kite!" Lila says. "How can we get it back?" + +Ben stops the bike and gets off. He looks at the kite. It is high and tangled. + +"I don't know," he says. "Maybe we can find a ladder. Or a stick. Or a bird." + +They look around, but they do not see a ladder, a stick, or a bird. They only see the kite, the string, and the tree. + +They are sad. They love their kite. They want to fly it again. + +"Maybe we can ask for help," Lila says. "Maybe someone can help us get our kite back." + +They look around again. They see a man walking his dog. He is tall and friendly. + +"Excuse me, sir," Lila says. "Can you help us? Our kite is stuck in the tree. We can't reach it." + +The man looks at the kite, the string, and the tree. He smiles. + +"Sure, I can help you," he says. "I have an idea. Wait here." + +He walks to his car and opens the trunk. He takes out a big pair of scissors. He walks back to the tree. + +"Don't worry, kids," he says. "I'll cut the string and get your kite back." + +He cuts the string and the kite falls to the ground. He picks it up and gives it to Lila and Ben. + +"Here you go," he says. "Your kite is free. You can fly it again." + +Lila and Ben are happy. They hug the kite and thank the man. + +"Thank you, sir," they say. "You are very kind. You saved our kite." + +The man smiles and waves. He walks back to his car and drives away. + +Lila and Ben look at the kite. It is still big and colorful. It is still wild. But it is also theirs. + +They attach the kite to the bike again. They wait for the wind. They hope to fly the kite in the sky. They hope to have more fun. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with blocks. They build a big tower with many blocks. They put a red block on the top. They are happy. + +But then, Ben comes. Ben is mean. He does not like Tom and Sam. He wants to break their tower. He runs to their tower and pushes it. The blocks fall down. The red block flies away. + +"Stop, Ben! You are bad!" Tom shouts. + +"No, I am not! I am strong! You are weak!" Ben says. He laughs. + +Tom and Sam are sad. They try to save their tower. They pick up the blocks. But they are too late. The red block lands on a dog. The dog is angry. It barks and bites. It chases Tom and Sam. They run away. They are scared. + +Ben sees the dog. He is scared too. He tries to run away. But he is not fast. The dog catches him. It bites his leg. He cries. + +The end. +Tom and Mia like to play with the big box of crayons. They can make many colors and images on the paper. They draw flowers, cars, animals and stars. They are happy and share the crayons. + +But one day, Tom wants to draw a big dragon. He needs all the green crayons to make the dragon. He takes them from the box and puts them on his side. Mia sees this and gets angry. She wants some green crayons too. She says to Tom: "Give me some green crayons, Tom. I want to draw a frog." + +Tom says: "No, Mia. These are my green crayons. I need them for my dragon. Go away." + +Mia does not go away. She tries to grab some green crayons from Tom. Tom pulls them back. They start to fight over the crayons. They pull and push and shout. The crayons scatter all over the floor. Some of them break and make a mess. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the crayons and the paper and the children. She is not happy. She says: "What are you doing, Tom and Mia? Why are you fighting over the crayons? You are making a crazy mess. Stop it right now." + +Tom and Mia stop fighting. They look at Mom and feel sorry. They say: "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to draw different things. We did not share the crayons. We made a crazy mess." + +Mom says: "It is okay to draw different things, but you have to share the crayons. There are enough crayons for both of you. You can draw a dragon and a frog and many other things. But you have to be nice and take turns. And you have to clean up the mess. Can you do that?" + +Tom and Mia nod. They say: "Yes, Mom. We can do that. We will share the crayons and clean up the mess. We will be nice and take turns." + +Mom smiles. She says: "That is good. I am proud of you. Now, let me see your images. They look very nice. You are very good at drawing." +Anna loved to dance. She liked to spin and jump and twirl. She wanted to be a graceful dancer like her big sister, Lily. Lily had a pretty dress and shiny shoes. She went to a dance school with other girls. + +One day, Anna saw Lily's shoes on the floor. She wanted to try them on. She put them on her feet and walked to the mirror. They were too big for her, but she did not care. She felt like a dancer. She tried to do a step like Lily, but she tripped and fell. She hurt her knee and started to cry. + +Lily heard Anna's cry and ran to her. She saw her shoes on Anna's feet and got angry. "Anna, those are my shoes! You can't own them! You are too little to dance! You could break them or hurt yourself!" she shouted. + +Anna felt sad and scared. She did not mean to make Lily angry. She just wanted to be like her. She took off the shoes and gave them back to Lily. She said sorry in a small voice. + +Lily saw Anna's tears and felt sorry too. She hugged Anna and said, "It's okay, Anna. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I know you love to dance. But these shoes are not for you. They are special for my dance school. You need to have your own shoes that fit you well. Maybe when you are bigger, you can join me at dance school. But for now, you can dance with me at home. I can teach you some steps. You are a graceful dancer too, Anna. You just need to practice." + +Anna smiled and hugged Lily back. She said thank you and asked Lily to show her some steps. They went to the living room and danced together. They had fun and forgot about the shoes. They were happy sisters. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend they were superheroes and villains. Ben was Spider-Man and Lily was Catwoman. They had a lot of fun jumping, swinging and chasing each other. + +"Stop, Catwoman! You are bad and I will catch you!" Ben shouted as he threw a web at Lily. + +"Never, Spider-Man! You are weak and I will escape!" Lily replied as she dodged the web and ran to the couch. + +Lily climbed on the couch and grabbed the remote. She turned on the TV and saw a cartoon. It was her favorite one, with a mouse and a cat. She smiled and sat down to watch. + +"Ha ha, Spider-Man! I have the TV now and you can't have it!" Lily taunted as she held the remote. + +Ben was not happy. He wanted to watch the cartoon too. He tried to climb on the couch, but Lily pushed him off. + +"Hey, that's not fair! Share the TV with me!" Ben protested. + +"No way! You have to surrender first!" Lily demanded. + +"Surrender? What does that mean?" Ben asked. + +"It means you say I win and you lose. And you give me your toy spider." Lily explained. + +Ben thought for a moment. He liked his toy spider, but he also liked the cartoon. He decided to be nice and give Lily what she wanted. + +"Okay, okay. You win and I lose. Here is my toy spider. Can I watch the TV now?" Ben said. + +Lily smiled and took the toy spider. She moved over and made some room for Ben on the couch. + +"Yes, you can. But only because you are my brother and I love you." Lily said. + +Ben hugged Lily and thanked her. They watched the cartoon together and laughed. They were lucky to have each other. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw many things: birds, flowers, clouds and bugs. They had fun. + +"Look, Max!" Lily said. "A big red thing in the sky!" + +Max looked up. He saw a big red thing in the sky. It was round and shiny. It was amazing. + +"What is it, Lily?" Max asked. + +Lily did not know. She had never seen it before. She thought for a moment. + +"Maybe it is a balloon," she said. "A big red balloon." + +Max nodded. He liked balloons. He wanted to touch it. + +"Can we get it, Lily?" he asked. + +Lily shook her head. She knew it was too far. + +"No, Max," she said. "It is too high. We can only look at it." + +Max was sad. He wanted to get the big red thing. He wondered who had it. + +"Who has the big red thing, Lily?" he asked. + +Lily did not know. She had never heard anyone mention it. She thought for a moment. + +"Maybe it is a gift," she said. "A big red gift." + +Max smiled. He liked gifts. He wondered who gave it. + +"Who gave the big red thing, Lily?" he asked. + +Lily did not know. She had never seen anyone give it. She thought for a moment. + +"Maybe it is a surprise," she said. "A big red surprise." + +Max clapped. He liked surprises. He wondered what it was. + +"What is the big red thing, Lily?" he asked. + +Lily did not know. She had never seen anything like it. She smiled. + +"I don't know, Max," she said. "But it is amazing." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They decided to make a camp with it. They dragged the box to the backyard and put some blankets and pillows inside. + +"Look, we have a camp!" Tom said. "We can pretend we are in the woods." + +Lily nodded. "Yes, and we can have a picnic and tell stories." + +They got some snacks and toys and went inside the box. They had fun eating and playing. They also made some animal noises. + +"Roar, I am a bear!" Tom said. + +"Meow, I am a cat!" Lily said. + +They laughed and hugged each other. + +But then, they heard a loud bark. It was their dog, Spot. He had smelled the snacks and wanted some. He ran to the box and tried to get in. + +"Go away, Spot!" Tom said. "This is our camp, not yours!" + +But Spot was stubborn. He did not listen. He pushed the box with his nose and made a hole. He stuck his head inside and licked Tom and Lily. + +"Hey, stop it, Spot!" Lily said. "You are ruining our camp!" + +But Spot was happy. He wagged his tail and barked. He wanted to join the camp. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They were angry at first, but then they saw how cute Spot was. They decided to let him in. + +"Okay, Spot, you can stay," Tom said. "But you have to share the snacks and be quiet." + +Spot agreed. He crawled inside the box and lay down next to Tom and Lily. He gave them a lick and a snuggle. + +"Aw, Spot, you are a good dog," Lily said. "We love you." + +They all smiled and cuddled. They had a new friend in their camp. They discovered that sometimes, being stubborn can be good. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to go to the farm with Mom and Dad. The farm has many animals. Sara and Ben like to see the cows, the pigs, the sheep and the chickens. They also like to pet the horses and the goats. + +One day, they go to the farm and see a big basket of apples. The apples are red and shiny. They look yummy. Sara and Ben ask Mom and Dad if they can have some. Mom and Dad say yes, but they have to wash them first. They take some apples and go to the well. They wash the apples with water and wipe them with a cloth. + +They are about to eat the apples when they hear a loud noise. It is the farmer. He is angry. He says the apples are his and he did not give them to Sara and Ben. He says they are stealing. Sara and Ben are scared. They did not know the apples belong to the farmer. They thought they were for everyone. They say they are sorry and give the apples back. + +Mom and Dad come and talk to the farmer. They explain that Sara and Ben did not mean to take the apples. They just wanted to try them. They offer to pay for the apples or help with the farm work. The farmer calms down. He says he understands. He says he has many apples and he can share some with Sara and Ben. He says they can have some if they promise to ask first. He also says they can help him feed the animals if they want. + +Sara and Ben are happy. They say thank you to the farmer and promise to ask first. They take some apples and eat them. They are yummy. They also help the farmer feed the animals. They have fun. They learn to be careful and respectful at the farm. They also make a new friend. +Lila and Ben were very happy. They were going to the festival with Mom and Dad. The festival had many fun things to do. They could ride on big wheels, eat sweet treats, and see funny clowns. + +Lila wanted to see the orange tent. She heard there was a magic show inside. She pulled Ben by the hand and ran to the tent. But when they got there, they saw a long line of people waiting to get in. + +"Can we go inside, Mom?" Lila asked. + +"Maybe later, honey. The line is too long right now. Why don't we try something else?" Mom said. + +Lila was sad. She really wanted to see the magic show. She looked at Ben. He shrugged. He did not care about the magic show. He wanted to ride on the big wheel. + +"Come on, Lila. Let's go to the big wheel. It looks fun!" Ben said. + +Lila thought for a moment. She did not want to miss the magic show. But she also did not want to wait in the long line. She decided to go with Ben. Maybe the magic show would still be there later. + +"Okay, Ben. Let's go to the big wheel. But we have to come back to the orange tent later, okay?" Lila said. + +"Okay, Lila. But only if you are good and don't cry," Ben said. + +Lila nodded. She smiled. She was still happy. She was going to the festival with Mom and Dad. And she was going to have fun with Ben. +Lisa likes to help her mom with her job. Her mom makes pretty things with glass. She cuts and paints and glues the glass pieces together. Lisa watches and learns. Sometimes, her mom lets her hold a glass piece, but she has to be very careful. The glass is fragile. It can break easily. + +One day, Lisa sees a big glass flower on the table. It has many colors and sparkles in the light. Lisa wants to touch it. She thinks it is the most beautiful thing she has ever seen. She reaches for it, but her mom stops her. + +"No, Lisa, not that one. That one is for a special customer. It took me a long time to make it. It is very fragile. You can look, but don't touch, okay?" her mom says. + +Lisa nods, but she still wants to touch it. She waits until her mom goes to the kitchen to get a drink. Then, she climbs on a chair and grabs the glass flower. She raises it up to see it better. She smiles and giggles. She feels happy. + +But then, she hears a loud noise. She turns around and sees her mom coming back. She gets scared and drops the glass flower. It falls on the floor and shatters into many pieces. Lisa hears her mom gasp and cry. + +"Oh, Lisa, what have you done? That was my best work. That was very important to me. How could you be so naughty?" her mom says. + +Lisa feels sad and sorry. She did not mean to break the glass flower. She did not know it was so fragile. She did not know it was so special. She starts to cry too. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry. I just wanted to see it. I just wanted to touch it. I didn't know. I'm sorry," she says. + +Her mom sighs and hugs her. She is angry, but she loves her. She knows Lisa is only a child. She knows Lisa did not do it on purpose. + +"It's okay, Lisa. I forgive you. But you have to listen to me. You have to be careful with glass. It is fragile. It can hurt you and me. You have to respect my job. It is hard and it is important. Do you understand?" she says. + +Lisa nods and hugs her back. She understands. She loves her mom. She loves her job. She wants to help her, not hurt her. She says sorry again. + +"I understand, mom. I love you. I love your job. I want to help you. I'm sorry. Can I help you clean up?" she says. + +Her mom smiles and kisses her. She says yes. They clean up the broken glass together. They are careful not to cut themselves. They talk and laugh. They make up. They are happy. +Lily and Ben like to design things with chalk. They draw on the sidewalk outside their house. They make flowers, stars, cars and animals. They use many colors of chalk. + +One day, they see a big wall near the park. It is rough and gray. Lily says, "Let's design something on the wall. It will be fun and pretty." Ben agrees. They take their chalk and go to the wall. + +They start to draw on the wall. They make a big rainbow with clouds and sun. They also draw some birds and butterflies. They are happy with their design. They smile and say, "Wow, we are good artists!" + +But then, a man comes. He is angry. He says, "What are you doing? This is my wall. You are not allowed to draw on it. You are making a mess. Go away!" He takes their chalk and throws it away. + +Lily and Ben are scared and sad. They run away from the wall. They cry and say, "We are sorry. We just wanted to design something nice. We didn't know it was your wall." + +They go back to their house. They hug their mom and dad. They tell them what happened. Their mom and dad say, "It's okay. You didn't mean to do anything wrong. But you have to be careful where you draw. Some people don't like it. Next time, ask before you design on someone else's wall. Or just design on your own sidewalk. It is safer and nicer." Lily and Ben nod. They say, "Okay. We will do that. We love you, mom and dad." They feel better. They still like to design things with chalk. But they only do it on their own sidewalk. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and blocks and books. One day, they found a big bottle of glue in the art room. They wanted to make something with it. + +"Let's glue the cars together and make a super car!" said Tim. + +"OK, that sounds fun!" said Sam. + +They took some cars and poured glue on them. They stuck them together and made a long and funny car. They laughed and played with it. + +But then, Miss Lee came into the art room. She saw the glue and the cars and got very angry. + +"What have you done?" she shouted. "You have ruined the cars and wasted the glue! You are very naughty boys!" + +She took the super car and threw it in the trash. She made Tim and Sam sit in the corner and said they could not play anymore. + +Tim and Sam felt very sad. They looked at each other and started to weep. They wished they had not used the glue. They wished they still had their super car. They wished Miss Lee was not so mad. + +The art room was very gloomy. Tim and Sam did not want to be there. They wanted to go home and hug their moms. They hoped Miss Lee would forgive them and let them play again. They hoped they could still be best friends. +Lily was a little girl who loved to chew. She chewed on her toys, her clothes, and even her hair. Her mom and dad told her to stop chewing on things that were not food, but she did not listen. She thought chewing was fun and tasty. + +One day, Lily found a yellow crayon in her room. She thought it looked like a banana, so she put it in her mouth and started to chew. But the crayon was not a banana. It was hard and waxy and bitter. Lily spat it out and made a face. She felt a pain in her teeth and saw some crayon bits on the floor. + +She ran to her mom and cried. "Mom, mom, I chewed on a yellow crayon and it hurt my teeth and made a mess!" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Oh, Lily, why did you chew on a crayon? You know crayons are not food. They are for drawing and coloring. You should only chew on things that are good for you, like fruits and vegetables and bread." + +Lily felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was curious and hungry and I thought it was a banana. I won't chew on crayons anymore. I promise." + +Her mom smiled and said, "That's good, Lily. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now let's go brush your teeth and clean up the mess. And then I'll give you a real banana to chew on." + +Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. Thank you. I love you." + +She followed her mom and was obedient. She brushed her teeth and helped clean up the crayon bits. She ate the banana and enjoyed it. She learned that chewing on things that were not food was bad and dangerous. She decided to only chew on things that were food from then on. + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your parents and don't chew on things that are not food. +Lily liked to write. She had a big book with many pages. She used a crayon to make shapes and letters on the pages. She wrote her name, her mom's name, and her cat's name. She wrote about what she saw and what she liked. + +One day, she saw a big bin outside her house. It was green and had a lid. She was curious. She wanted to know what was inside the bin. She asked her mom, "Mom, what is in the bin?" + +Her mom said, "The bin is for things we don't need anymore. We put them in the bin and a truck comes to take them away." + +Lily wondered what things were in the bin. She wanted to see them. She said, "Mom, can I look in the bin?" + +Her mom said, "No, Lily, you can't look in the bin. It is dirty and smelly and not safe. You might hurt yourself or get sick. You should stay away from the bin." + +Lily was sad. She wanted to write about the bin. She thought maybe there were interesting things in the bin. She decided to wait until her mom was busy. Then she sneaked out of the house and went to the bin. She lifted the lid and peeked inside. + +She saw many things in the bin. She saw old clothes, broken toys, empty bottles, and rotten food. She saw a teddy bear with one eye, a ball with a hole, a book with torn pages, and a banana with flies. She thought they were ugly and sad. She felt sorry for them. She wanted to write about them. + +She took out her book and her crayon. She sat on the ground and started to write. She wrote, "The bin has many things. They are old and bad. They are not happy. They need a hug." + +She did not hear the truck coming. She did not see the man who lifted the bin. She did not feel the bin moving. She only heard a loud noise and felt a big bump. She looked up and saw that she was in the air. She was in the bin. She was scared. She screamed, "Mom, help!" +Lily liked to march. She marched in the park, she marched in the house, she marched with her friends. She liked to make noise with her feet and her voice. She sang songs and counted steps. She felt happy when she marched. + +One day, she saw a man with a violin. He played music with the violin and a bow. He made sounds that were high and low, fast and slow, loud and soft. He played music that made people stop and listen. He played music that made people clap and smile. He was popular. + +Lily wanted to play the violin too. She asked the man if she could try. He said yes and gave her the violin and the bow. She put the violin under her chin and the bow on the strings. She tried to make music, but she only made noise. She made noise that was bad and sad, wrong and long, harsh and sharp. She made noise that made people cover their ears and frown. She was not popular. + +She gave the violin and the bow back to the man. She said sorry and thank you. He said it was okay and that she could try again another day. He said that playing the violin was hard and that she needed to practice and learn. He said that marching was good and that she should keep doing it. He said that marching was fun and that she should enjoy it. + +Lily nodded and smiled. She decided to march again. She marched away from the man and the violin. She marched with her feet and her voice. She sang songs and counted steps. She felt happy when she marched. +Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" + +She looked around for Tom, but he was very good at hiding. She checked behind the trees, under the bench, and in the flower pots, but she could not find him. She wondered where he was. + +She heard a small noise from behind the hedge. She thought it might be Tom, so she ran towards it and said, "I found you, Tom!" + +But it was not Tom. It was a little bird that had fallen from its nest. The bird was scared and hurt. It looked at Lily with its big eyes and made a sad sound. + +Lily felt sorry for the bird. She wanted to help it. She picked it up gently and said, "Don't worry, little bird. I will take you to my mom. She will make you better." + +She carried the bird to the house, where her mom was waiting. Her mom was a vet, which means she knew how to take care of animals. She saw the bird in Lily's hands and said, "What have you got there, Lily?" + +Lily told her mom how she found the bird behind the hedge. Her mom smiled and said, "You are a very kind and lucky girl, Lily. You have saved this bird's life. Let's see what we can do for it." + +She took the bird to her office and gave it some medicine and a bandage. She told Lily that the bird would be fine, but it needed some rest. She put the bird in a cage and said, "You can keep the bird here until it is ready to fly again. You can name it and feed it and talk to it. But you have to be gentle and quiet with it." + +Lily was very happy. She named the bird Fluffy and gave it some seeds and water. She thanked her mom and said, "You are the best mom ever. And Fluffy is the best bird ever." + +She went back to the garden to find Tom. She told him about the bird and invited him to see it. Tom was curious and excited. He said, "Wow, Lily, you are so lucky. Can I be your friend?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Of course, Tom. You are my friend. And Fluffy is our friend too." + +They hugged and ran to the house to see Fluffy. They were all very happy. +Ben and Mia liked to play with their toy vehicles. They had cars, trucks, buses, and trains. They made them zoom and honk and crash on the floor. But they did not like to share. They always fought over who got to play with the best ones. + +One day, they found a new toy vehicle in their toy box. It was big and red and shiny. It had four wheels and a long hose. It was a fire truck. Ben and Mia both wanted it. They grabbed it and pulled it from each other. + +"Mine!" Ben shouted. + +"No, mine!" Mia yelled. + +They twisted and tugged and yanked the fire truck. They did not see that the hose was wrapped around a lamp. The lamp wobbled and tipped over. It fell on the fire truck and broke it. The hose snapped and the wheels popped off. The fire truck was ruined. + +Ben and Mia stopped fighting. They looked at the broken fire truck. They felt sad and sorry. They wished they had shared. + +"Look what you did!" Ben said. + +"Me? You did it!" Mia said. + +They started to blame each other. They did not see that their mom was watching. She was angry and disappointed. She had a surprise for them. She had bought them a new toy vehicle. It was a big and yellow and ugly. It had two wheels and a basket. It was a bike. But she did not give it to them. She put it away. + +"Maybe you can have it when you learn to play nicely," she said. +Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to play with their cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, and they made roads and bridges with their blocks. One day, they decided to have a car wash. They filled a bucket with water and soap, and got a rag and a sponge. + +"Let's wash our cars and make them shiny and clean," Sam said. + +"OK, I will wash the red car and you wash the blue car," Ben said. + +They dipped the rag and the sponge in the bucket and started to wash their cars. They rubbed and scrubbed and splashed and laughed. They were very jolly and had a lot of fun. + +But they did not notice that their dog, Spot, was watching them. Spot was a big and furry dog who liked to chase and bite things. He saw the rag and the sponge moving and thought they were toys. He wanted to play with them too. + +He ran towards the bucket and jumped on it. The water and soap spilled everywhere. The rag and the sponge flew out of Sam and Ben's hands. Spot caught them in his mouth and ran away. + +"Hey, Spot, come back! That's our car wash!" Sam shouted. + +"Bad dog, bad dog! Give us our rag and sponge!" Ben shouted. + +They chased after Spot, but he was too fast and too clever. He ran around the yard and hid behind the trees and the bushes. He wagged his tail and barked. He thought it was a game. + +Sam and Ben were not jolly anymore. They were sad and angry. They wanted their car wash back. They looked for Spot, but they could not find him. They gave up and went back to their cars. + +They saw that their cars were not shiny and clean anymore. They were wet and dirty and covered with soap bubbles. They looked at each other and sighed. + +"Maybe we should wash our cars another day," Sam said. + +"Maybe we should wash our dog first," Ben said. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, but their favorite was a big red truck that could make loud noises and move fast. They always shared the truck and took turns driving it. + +One day, they decided to race their cars on the sidewalk. Tom had the truck and Lily had a blue car. They lined up their cars and said, "Ready, set, go!" The truck zoomed ahead of the blue car, but Tom wanted to win by more. He looked back and saw Lily was far behind. He smiled and said, "I am the best!" + +But he did not see a big rock on the sidewalk. He hit the rock and the truck flipped over. It landed on its back and stopped working. Tom was shocked and sad. He tried to make the truck move, but it did not. He pushed a button and said, "Reverse, reverse!" But nothing happened. The truck was broken. + +Lily saw what happened and stopped her car. She ran to Tom and said, "Are you okay?" Tom nodded, but he was still sad. He said, "I broke the truck. It was our favorite. I am sorry." Lily hugged him and said, "It's okay. We can fix it. Or we can get a new one. But you have to be careful. You should not look back when you race. You should look ahead and watch where you go." + +Tom learned his lesson. He said, "You are right. I was not careful. I was too proud. I should have shared the truck with you. You are my sister and my friend. I love you." Lily smiled and said, "I love you too. We can still play with our cars. We have many. But we have to be nice and fair. And we have to have fun." They hugged and went back to their cars. They raced again, but this time they looked ahead and cheered for each other. They were happy. +Mia and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books on their bookshelf. One day, they decided to play a game of hide and seek. Mia was the seeker and Ben was the hider. + +"Ready or not, here I come!" Mia shouted. She looked under the bed, behind the curtains, and in the closet. She could not find Ben anywhere. She wondered where he was hiding. She saw the bookshelf and had an idea. Maybe he was hiding behind the books. + +She walked to the bookshelf and pulled on a book. The bookshelf was old and weak. It made a loud noise and split in half. Books and toys fell to the floor. Mia was scared and surprised. She heard a voice from behind the bookshelf. + +"Ouch! That hurt!" It was Ben. He had squeezed himself behind the bookshelf. He thought it was a good hiding spot. He did not know the bookshelf was going to break. + +Mia ran to Ben and helped him out. He had a bump on his head and a scratch on his arm. He was not happy. He looked at the mess on the floor and the broken bookshelf. He was sad. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to break the bookshelf. I was looking for you," Mia said. + +"It's okay, Mia. I'm sorry, too. I shouldn't have hidden behind the bookshelf. It was not safe. It was too adventurous," Ben said. + +They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They cleaned up the mess and put the books and toys in a box. They told their mom what happened. She was not angry. She was glad they were not hurt. She said they could get a new bookshelf soon. She also said they could play a different game next time. Maybe something less adventurous. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big grape on the ground. It is purple and round. + +"Look, a grape!" Tim says. "I want to eat it." + +"No, don't eat it!" Sam says. "It is dead. It has flies on it. It is yucky." + +Tim does not listen. He picks up the grape and puts it in his mouth. He bites it. It is sour and mushy. He spits it out. + +"Blech!" Tim says. "That is a bad grape. It hurts my tongue." + +Sam laughs. He sees a phone on a bench. He runs to it and picks it up. He pretends to talk. + +"Ring, ring!" Sam says. "Hello, this is Sam. I need a doctor. My friend ate a dead grape. He is sick. Can you help him?" + +Tim hears Sam. He is not sick. He is angry. He runs to Sam and grabs the phone. + +"Give me that!" Tim says. "You are silly. I am not sick. I am fine. You are a bad friend. You make fun of me." + +Tim and Sam start to fight. They pull the phone and shout at each other. They do not see a lady coming. She is the owner of the phone. She is mad. + +"Hey, stop that!" the lady says. "That is my phone. You are naughty boys. You broke my phone. You owe me money." + +Tim and Sam are scared. They drop the phone and run away. They are not friends anymore. They are sad. They wish they never found the dead grape. +Sam and Lily liked to play with their cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to race them on the floor and make loud noises. One day, they saw a big car in the garage. It was shiny and red. It was their dad's car. He was not home. He had gone to work. + +"Let's play with the big car!" Sam said. He opened the door and climbed inside. Lily followed him. They pretended to drive the car. They turned the wheel and pushed the buttons. They had fun. + +But they did not know that the car was not available. It was not safe. It had a problem. The brakes did not work. The car could move by itself. It could slip and crash. + +Suddenly, the car started to roll. It slipped out of the garage and onto the street. Sam and Lily were scared. They did not know how to stop the car. They screamed for help. But no one heard them. The car went faster and faster. It hit a tree. It made a loud bang. Sam and Lily were hurt. They cried. They wished they had not played with the big car. They wished they had listened to their dad. He had told them to never touch the car. He had said it was dangerous. He had said he would fix it soon. But it was too late. The car was broken. And so were Sam and Lily. The end. +Tim and Anna like to play pretend. They have a big box of costumes and toys. Today, they want to pretend they are farmers and animals. + +Tim puts on a hat and a plaid shirt. He picks up a toy rake and a bucket. He says, "I am the farmer. I have to take care of the animals and the crops." + +Anna puts on a brown dress and a feather boa. She picks up a toy drumstick and a bell. She says, "I am the turkey. I have to gobble and run away from the farmer." + +They go outside and find a spot in the yard. Tim pretends to rake the leaves and fill the bucket with water. Anna pretends to peck at the ground and gobble loudly. She rings the bell to make noise. + +Tim hears the bell and says, "Oh no, there is the turkey. I have to catch her for dinner." He runs after Anna with the bucket. + +Anna tries to run away from Tim, but she is clumsy. She trips over the feather boa and falls down. Tim catches up with her and pours the water over her head. + +Anna squeals and laughs. She says, "You got me, farmer. I am a wet turkey." + +Tim laughs too. He says, "You are a funny turkey. But you are also my friend. I don't want to eat you. Let's have something else for dinner." + +They hug and go back inside. They find some cookies and milk in the kitchen. They share them and say, "This is a good pretend game. We had fun." +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a band of shiny stones on the ground. They thought it was incredible. + +"Wow, look at this band! It is so pretty and sparkly!" Lily said. + +"Can I see it?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, here you go. But be careful, it is very special," Lily said. + +Tom took the band and put it on his finger. He felt happy and proud. He showed it to Lily and smiled. + +Suddenly, a big boy came over. He saw the band and wanted it. He was mean and rude. + +"Hey, give me that band! It is mine now!" he said. + +He tried to grab the band from Tom's finger. Tom was scared and angry. He did not want to lose the band. + +"No, it is not yours! It is ours! We found it first!" he said. + +He held the band tight and moved away from the big boy. He looked at Lily for help. + +Lily saw what was happening. She wanted to protect Tom and the band. She was brave and smart. + +She picked up a stick and waved it at the big boy. She shouted at him. + +"Go away, you bully! Leave us alone! This is our band and you can't have it!" she said. + +The big boy was surprised and scared. He did not expect Lily to stand up to him. He did not like the stick in her hand. He decided to leave them alone. + +He ran away, mumbling and grumbling. He did not look back. + +Tom and Lily were relieved and happy. They hugged each other and thanked each other. + +"You are a great friend, Lily. You protected me and the band," Tom said. + +"So are you, Tom. You did not give up the band," Lily said. + +They put the band in a safe place and continued to play. They felt incredible. They had a band of shiny stones and a band of friendship. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their kayak in the lake. They took turns to paddle and steer the kayak, and they had fun looking at the fish and the birds. One day, they saw a chubby duck swimming near the shore. The duck had a shiny green head and a yellow beak. + +"Look, a duck!" Lily said. "Let's go say hello!" + +Ben nodded and paddled the kayak closer to the duck. The duck saw them and quacked loudly. He did not like the kayak. He thought it was too big and noisy. He wanted to swim away, but the kayak followed him. + +"Stop, stop!" the duck quacked. "Go away! Leave me alone!" + +Ben and Lily did not understand the duck. They thought he was playing with them. They laughed and paddled faster. The duck got scared and angry. He flapped his wings and splashed water at them. He pecked at the kayak and tried to bite it. + +"Ow, ow!" Ben and Lily cried. "That hurts! Why are you so mean?" + +The duck quacked louder and louder. He wanted them to stop. He wanted them to go away. He wanted them to leave him alone. + +A man who was fishing nearby heard the noise and looked at them. He saw the duck and the kayak. He shook his head and called out to them. + +"Hey, kids, stop bothering that duck!" he said. "He doesn't like you. He doesn't want to play with you. He wants to be left alone. Can't you see that?" + +Ben and Lily stopped paddling and looked at the man. They felt sorry for the duck. They realized they had been rude and unkind. They said sorry to the duck and to the man. + +"We're sorry, duck," they said. "We're sorry, man. We didn't know. We won't bother you again. We'll go away. We'll leave you alone." + +The duck quacked softly and nodded. He was glad they stopped. He was glad they went away. He was glad they left him alone. He swam away to find his friends. + +Ben and Lily paddled the kayak back to the shore. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to respect the animals and their feelings. They learned to not bother them or hurt them. They learned to be nice and friendly. They learned to be good. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their boat in the pond. They made the boat go fast and slow, and they pretended to be pirates and sailors. They had a lot of fun with their boat. + +One day, the wind was very strong. It blew the boat far away from Tom and Lily. They ran after the boat, but they could not catch it. The boat went to the other side of the pond, where there were many trees and rocks. Tom and Lily were sad and worried. They wanted their boat back. + +They asked their dad for help. He was tired from working, but he saw how sad and worried they were. He said he would try to get the boat for them. He took off his shoes and socks, and rolled up his pants. He walked into the pond, and felt the cold water on his legs. He walked carefully, and avoided the trees and rocks. He reached the boat, and picked it up. He smiled, and waved to Tom and Lily. + +Tom and Lily were happy and relieved. They ran to their dad, and hugged him. They thanked him for getting their boat. He said he was happy to help them. He said he loved them very much. They said they loved him too. They dried off the boat, and put it in their bag. They decided to play with it another day, when the wind was not so strong. They went home with their dad, and had a nice dinner. They were not sad and worried anymore. They were happy and grateful. +Lily liked to number her toys. She had a lot of toys, but she always knew how many she had. She would line them up and say, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. I have ten toys." She did this every day before she played with them. + +One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, we are going to visit Grandma. You can bring one toy with you." Lily was happy to see Grandma, but she was restless. How could she choose one toy out of ten? She loved them all. She looked at her toys and tried to decide. + +She picked up her teddy bear and said, "You are my first toy. You are soft and cuddly. But you are too big to fit in my bag." She put him back. She picked up her doll and said, "You are my second toy. You are pretty and have a dress. But you are too fragile to take on the bus." She put her back. She picked up her car and said, "You are my third toy. You are fast and shiny. But you are too noisy to play with in Grandma's house." She put it back. + +She did this with all her toys, until she came to her last one. It was a book. It had pictures and words and stories. She said, "You are my tenth toy. You are not soft or cuddly or pretty or fast or shiny or noisy. But you are smart and fun and quiet. You can fit in my bag and you can keep me company on the bus and in Grandma's house. You are my best toy." + +She put the book in her bag and said, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. I have ten toys. But I only need one." She smiled and hugged her mom. She was ready to go. +Lily and Ben went to a pizza place with Mom and Dad. They sat at a big table and looked at the menus. The menus had pictures of different pizzas and drinks. Lily pointed at a pizza with cheese and tomatoes. Ben pointed at a pizza with pepperoni and olives. + +"I want this one!" Lily said. + +"I want this one!" Ben said. + +Mom and Dad smiled and told the waiter what they wanted. The waiter nodded and took the menus away. + +While they waited for their pizzas, Lily and Ben played with the crayons and paper that the pizza place gave them. They drew silly faces and animals and cars. They showed each other their drawings and laughed. + +"Look, I drew a cat with a hat!" Lily said. + +"Look, I drew a car with wings!" Ben said. + +They laughed some more. Mom and Dad looked at their drawings and said they were very good. + +Soon, the pizzas came. They smelled yummy and looked hot. Lily and Ben blew on their slices and took small bites. They liked their pizzas very much. They ate and drank and talked and laughed. + +They had a fun time at the pizza place. They thanked the waiter and said goodbye. They took their drawings with them. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and watch the water. Sometimes they saw big waves that made a loud noise and a lot of white foam. That was the surf. + +"Can we go in the water, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Not today, sweetie. The surf is too strong and it could hurt you. You can play near the shore, but don't go too far," mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and ran to the sand. They found some shells and rocks and made a castle. They were very proud of their castle and wanted to show it to their mom and dad. + +But then they saw a big wave coming. It was bigger than any wave they had ever seen. It looked like a giant wall of water that would cover everything. + +"Look out!" Ben shouted. "The wave is going to smash our castle!" + +Lily and Ben ran away from the water as fast as they could. They reached their mom and dad and hugged them. + +"Are you okay, kids?" dad asked. + +"Yes, we're okay. But our castle is gone," Lily said sadly. + +"I'm sorry, honey. The surf was too powerful and it covered your castle. But you know what? You can always make another one. The important thing is that you are safe and you listened to your mom," dad said. + +Lily and Ben smiled and nodded. They learned that the surf can be fun to watch, but also dangerous to play with. They also learned that they should always listen to their parents, because they love them and want to protect them. They decided to make another castle, but this time they made it higher and stronger. And they had a lot of fun. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play tennis in the park. They have a ball and two rackets. They hit the ball over the net. They try to be fast and strong. + +One day, a big boy comes to the park. He has a big racket and a big ball. He says he is the best at tennis. He says he can serve very hard. He says he can beat Tom and Lily. He says he is popular and everyone likes him. + +Tom and Lily do not like the big boy. He is mean and loud. They do not want to play with him. They say they are happy to play with each other. They say they do not care about speed or popularity. They say they care about fun and friendship. + +The big boy gets angry. He says he will show them. He says he will serve the ball so hard that they will not catch it. He says he will make them cry. He throws the ball in the air. He swings his racket. + +But he swings too hard. He misses the ball. The ball flies over his head. It lands on a tree. It gets stuck on a branch. The big boy cannot reach it. He jumps and shouts. He looks silly. + +Tom and Lily laugh. They say he is not so good after all. They say he should be nice and share. They say they will help him get his ball. They say they will play with him if he is kind. They say they will be his friends if he is friendly. They say that is what tennis is about. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play together. They had many toys, but Tom always wanted more. He saw a big store with many shiny things and said to Sue, "Let's go inside and look. Maybe we can find something new." + +Sue was not sure. She saw a sign that said "Exit" and a man who looked angry. She said to Tom, "I don't think we should go in. The sign says 'Exit'. That means we can only go out, not in. And the man looks like he will mind if we go in. He might yell at us or take our toys." + +Tom did not listen to Sue. He said, "I don't care about the sign or the man. I want to see the shiny things. Maybe they are rich and they will give us some. Come on, Sue, don't be scared. It will be fun." He ran inside the store and Sue followed him. + +The store was full of shiny things, but they were not toys. They were rings and necklaces and watches and earrings. Tom and Sue did not know what they were, but they liked how they sparkled. They touched them and tried them on and pretended they were rich. + +The man who looked angry saw them and he did mind. He shouted, "Hey, you kids, get away from there! Those are not for you! Those are mine! You are stealing!" He ran towards them and tried to grab them. + +Tom and Sue were scared. They dropped the shiny things and ran to the door. But the door was locked. They could not get out. They saw the sign that said "Exit" and they wished they had listened to Sue. They cried and said, "We are sorry, we are sorry, please let us go!" + +The man was still angry, but he felt sorry for them. He said, "You should not have come in here. You should have read the sign and respected my things. You are lucky I don't call the police. But I will let you go if you promise me something. Promise me you will never do this again. Promise me you will be good and honest and kind. Promise me you will learn the value of what you have and not want what you don't need." + +Tom and Sue nodded and said, "We promise, we promise, please let us go!" The man unlocked the door and let them go. They ran out of the store and hugged each other. They said, "We are sorry, we are sorry, we learned our lesson. We don't need shiny things to be happy. We have each other and our toys and our friends. That is enough. That is rich." They went home and played with their toys and never went near the store again. +Ben and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat meat for dinner. But their mom was lazy. She did not want to cook meat. She said, "Meat is too hard to make. We will eat soup and bread." + +Ben and Lily did not like soup and bread. They liked meat. They said, "Mom, please cook meat. We want meat. Meat is yummy." + +Mom said, "No, meat is not yummy. Meat is bad for you. Soup and bread are good for you. Eat soup and bread and be quiet." + +Ben and Lily were sad. They did not want to eat soup and bread. They wanted to eat meat. They looked out the window. They saw a big truck. The truck had a sign. The sign said, "Meat Delivery." + +Ben and Lily had an idea. They ran to the door. They opened the door. They went outside. They waved to the truck. They said, "Hello, meat delivery. We want meat. Can you give us meat?" + +The truck driver saw Ben and Lily. He was surprised. He said, "What are you doing here? Where is your mom? You should not be outside alone." + +Ben and Lily said, "Our mom is lazy. She does not want to cook meat. She wants us to eat soup and bread. We do not like soup and bread. We like meat. Can you give us meat?" + +The truck driver said, "I'm sorry, kids. I can't give you meat. I have to deliver meat to the stores. The stores pay me for the meat. You have to pay me for the meat too. Do you have money?" + +Ben and Lily said, "No, we do not have money. We have toys. Can we trade toys for meat?" + +The truck driver said, "No, you can't trade toys for meat. That's not how it works. You have to go back to your mom. She will feed you. Maybe she will cook meat for you another day." + +Ben and Lily were disappointed. They did not get meat. They went back to their mom. She was angry. She said, "Where were you? Why did you leave the house? You could have been hurt. You are in trouble." + +Ben and Lily said, "We are sorry, mom. We were hungry. We wanted to eat meat. We saw a meat delivery truck. We asked for meat. But he did not give us meat. He said we have to pay for meat. We do not have money. We have toys. But he did not want toys. He wanted money." + +Mom said, "You are silly, kids. You can't get meat from a truck. You have to buy meat from the store. And you can't trade toys for meat. You have to use money for meat. And you can't leave the house without me. You have to stay with me. You have to listen to me. You have to eat what I give you. Now eat your soup and bread and go to bed." + +Ben and Lily ate their soup and bread. They did not like it. They still wanted meat. They hoped that mom would cook meat for them another day. They went to bed. They dreamed of meat. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big box of toys that they shared, but they also had their own treasures that they kept in their rooms. Ben's treasure was a shiny red car that he got from his grandpa. Lily's treasure was a soft pink bunny that she got from her grandma. + +One day, Ben was bored and wanted to play with Lily's bunny. He sneaked into her room and took the bunny from her bed. He ran back to the garden and started to make the bunny drive his car. He thought it was very funny. + +Lily came out of the house and saw Ben with her bunny. She was very angry and ran to him. "Give me back my bunny!" she shouted. "That's my treasure, not yours!" + +Ben did not want to give back the bunny. He liked it too much. He said, "No, it's mine now. I hate your bunny. It's ugly and stupid." + +Lily felt hurt and sad. She loved her bunny. It was her best friend. She tried to grab the bunny from Ben, but he pushed her away. They started to fight and pull the bunny. The bunny was scared and confused. It did not know what was happening. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to the garden. She saw Ben and Lily fighting over the bunny. She was very disappointed and angry. She said, "Stop it, both of you! What are you doing? Why are you hurting each other and the bunny?" + +Ben and Lily stopped fighting and looked at their mom. They felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they had been very mean and selfish. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We were wrong." + +Their mom took the bunny from them and gave it back to Lily. She said, "Lily, this is your treasure. You should take good care of it and not let anyone take it from you. Ben, this is not your treasure. You should respect Lily's things and not take them without asking. You should also be nice to the bunny. It's a living thing, not a toy. You should not hate it or hurt it." + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We understand." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "I'm glad you understand. Now, why don't you apologize to each other and to the bunny? And then you can play together nicely with your own treasures or share them if you want to." + +Ben and Lily hugged each other and said, "We're sorry, Lily/Ben. We're sorry, bunny. We love you." + +The bunny felt happy and relieved. It snuggled with Lily and licked her face. Ben smiled and said, "Can I pet your bunny, Lily? It's very soft and cute." + +Lily smiled and said, "Sure, Ben. You can pet my bunny. And can I play with your car, Ben? It's very shiny and fast." + +Ben nodded and said, "Sure, Lily. You can play with my car. And maybe we can make the bunny and the car be friends." + +They laughed and played together with their treasures. They learned to be kind and generous. Their mom watched them and felt proud and happy. +Anna liked to dance in the kitchen. She felt graceful and happy when she moved her feet and arms. She pretended she was a fairy or a princess. Sometimes, she used a wooden spoon as a wand or a crown. + +One day, Anna was dancing in the kitchen while her mom was cooking. She did not see the big pot on the stove. She bumped into it with her wand. The pot fell down and made a loud noise. The soup inside the pot spilled all over the floor. + +"Anna, what did you do?" her mom shouted. She was angry and scared. She ran to the stove and turned it off. She checked if Anna was hurt. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I was dancing. I did not mean to make the pot fall," Anna said. She felt bad and scared. She thought her mom would punish her. + +Her mom sighed. She hugged Anna and said, "I'm glad you are not hurt, Anna. But you have to be careful in the kitchen. It is not a place to dance. You could burn yourself or break something. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry," Anna said. + +Her mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Anna. I love you. But you have to help me clean up the mess. And no more dancing in the kitchen, okay?" + +"Okay, mom. I love you too. And I will help you clean up," Anna said. + +They got a mop and a towel and cleaned up the soup. Then they made a new pot of soup together. Anna learned her lesson. She decided to dance in her room or in the garden instead. She still felt graceful and happy, but she also felt more careful and responsible. +Lila wanted to wear her new blouse to the party. It was pink and had flowers on it. She thought it was very important to look pretty. She put on the blouse and looked in the mirror. She smiled. + +But then her little brother, Ben, came into her room. He was holding a marker. He wanted to draw with Lila. He saw her blouse and thought it was a paper. He scribbled on it with the marker. He made a big mess. + +Lila saw what he did and screamed. She was very angry. She pushed him away and ran to Mom. She showed her the blouse and cried. She said Ben ruined it. + +Mom looked at the blouse and sighed. She was sad too. She hugged Lila and said, "I'm sorry, honey. I know you liked your blouse. But it's not the most important thing. The most important thing is to be kind and forgiving. Ben is your brother and he loves you. He didn't mean to hurt you. He just wanted to play with you. Can you forgive him and share your toys with him?" + +Lila thought about what Mom said. She felt sorry for Ben. He looked scared and sorry. She wiped her tears and nodded. She said, "Yes, Mom. I forgive him. I love him too. I can share my toys with him. Maybe we can draw together." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's very good, Lila. I'm proud of you. You are a very sweet and generous sister. Come on, let's go to the party. You can wear another blouse. You will still look pretty. And you will feel happy in your heart." + +Lila smiled and hugged Mom. She took Ben's hand and said, "Come on, Ben. Let's go to the party. We can have fun together." Ben smiled and hugged Lila. He said, "Thank you, Lila. You are a very nice and forgiving sister. I'm sorry I messed up your blouse. I love you." + +They went to the party and had a great time. They played and laughed and shared. They learned that being kind and forgiving is more important than being pretty. And they were happy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the snow in winter. They make snowmen and snowballs and snow forts. They have fun. + +One day, Lily has an idea. She says to Tom, "Let's perform a show for our moms and dads. We can sing and dance and tell jokes. It will be fine." + +Tom likes the idea. He says, "OK, let's do it. What do we need?" + +Lily thinks. She says, "We need some costumes and some props and some music. We can use our hats and scarves and gloves for costumes. We can use our sleds and shovels and buckets for props. We can use our bells and whistles and drums for music." + +Tom nods. He says, "Good. Let's go and get them." + +They run to their houses and get their things. They meet in the backyard. They set up a stage with snow and ice. They practice their show. They are ready. + +They call their moms and dads. They say, "Come and see our show. It is very fine." + +Their moms and dads come and sit on the snow. They clap and cheer. Lily and Tom perform their show. They sing and dance and tell jokes. They make their moms and dads laugh and smile. They are happy. + +The end. +Lily loved to ride her bike. She liked to go fast and feel the wind on her face. She also liked to see the flowers and the birds on the way. She always wore her helmet and followed the rules. + +One day, she saw a boy sitting on the sidewalk. He looked sad and lonely. He had no bike and no stuff to play with. Lily felt sorry for him and stopped her bike. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?" she asked. + +"I'm Sam. I'm new here. I don't have any friends or toys," he said. + +"That's not fun. Do you want to play with me? I have a lot of stuff. You can ride my bike if you want," she offered. + +"Really? You would let me ride your bike? You are very generous. Thank you, Lily. You are very kind," he said. + +"Sure, I don't mind. I like to share. Come on, let's go to the park. We can have fun together," she said. + +Lily and Sam became friends. They rode the bike, played with the ball, and had a picnic. They laughed and talked and had a good time. Lily was happy to make a new friend. Sam was happy to have a generous friend. They both learned that sharing is caring. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play outside with their toys. One day, they find an old kite in the garage. It is red and blue and has a long tail. + +"Let's fly the kite in the sky!" Ben says. + +"OK, but we need some wind," Mia says. + +They run to the park with the kite. They look for a good spot to fly it. They see a big hill with some grass and flowers. + +"Here, here!" Ben says. He holds the kite and the string. Mia holds the other end of the string. + +They wait for the wind to blow. They see some clouds and birds in the sky. They hear some dogs and cars in the street. + +"Come on, wind, come on!" Mia says. + +Suddenly, they feel a gust of wind. The kite lifts up in the air. Ben and Mia cheer. + +"Wow, look at the kite!" Ben says. "It is so high and bright!" + +"It is beautiful!" Mia says. "It looks like a bird!" + +They spend a long time flying the kite. They take turns holding the string. They watch the kite dance and swirl in the sky. They have a lot of fun. + +They are happy. They forget about everything else. They only see the kite and the sky. They only hear the wind and their laughter. They only feel the sun and the grass. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were on a big boat with their mom and dad. They liked to look at the water and the fish and the birds. Sometimes they saw other boats and waved at them. + +One day, the boat came to a port. It was a place where many boats stopped and people got on and off. Lily and Tom wanted to see the port, but their mom and dad said they had to stay on the boat. They said the port was not safe for kids. + +Lily and Tom were bored on the boat. They wanted to have fun. They saw a big rope that was tied to the boat and the port. They thought it would be fun to rock on the rope, like a swing. They did not listen to their mom and dad. They sneaked out of the boat and climbed on the rope. + +They rocked on the rope, back and forth, higher and higher. They laughed and shouted. They felt wild and free. They did not see the big wave that was coming. The wave hit the boat and the port. The rope snapped and Lily and Tom fell into the water. + +They screamed and splashed. They could not swim. They tried to grab the rope, but it was too far. They tried to call their mom and dad, but they could not hear them. The water was cold and dark and scary. Lily and Tom were gone. +Lily and Ben love to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They excite when they see the big pond with the ducks and fish. They want to feed them bread and watch them swim. + +They ask their mom for some bread. Mom is reliable. She always has bread in her bag. She gives them some and tells them to be careful near the water. Lily and Ben say thank you and run to the pond. + +They break the bread into small pieces and throw them to the ducks and fish. The ducks quack and the fish splash. Lily and Ben laugh and clap. They breathe oxygen from the fresh air. They feel happy and warm. + +But then, a big goose comes. It is greedy and mean. It wants all the bread for itself. It chases the ducks and fish away. It hisses and snaps at Lily and Ben. They feel scared and sad. + +They run back to their mom. Mom hugs them and tells them it is okay. She says the goose is not nice, but it cannot hurt them. She says they can play somewhere else in the park. Lily and Ben nod and smile. They still have some bread left. They decide to share it with the squirrels and birds. They hope they are friendly and polite. +Lily was a girl who liked to own many things. She had many toys, books, clothes and forks. She did not like to share with anyone. She thought owning many things made her happy. + +One day, she went to a picnic with her family and some friends. She brought her own food and her own fork. She did not want to use the forks that her mom had packed for everyone. She said, "This is my fork. I own it. You can't use it." + +Her friends were sad. They wanted to play with Lily and share their food with her. But Lily did not care. She ate her food alone with her fork. She did not talk to anyone. + +Soon, she finished her food. She looked around and saw that her friends were having fun. They were laughing, running, playing and sharing. They looked happy. Lily felt lonely. She wished she had someone to talk to and play with. She realized that owning many things did not make her happy. She felt miserable. + +She went to her mom and said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I was mean to my friends. I did not share my fork or my food. I was selfish. Can I say sorry to them and join them?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Of course, my dear. It's never too late to say sorry and be kind. Sharing is caring. Owning many things does not make you happy. Having good friends does." + +Lily nodded and ran to her friends. She said sorry to them and gave them her fork. They forgave her and welcomed her. They shared their food and their forks. They played and had fun. Lily felt happy. She learned a lesson that day. She learned that owning many things does not make you happy. Sharing and caring does. +Lila was a little girl who loved to play in the forest. She liked to run, jump, and climb on the trees. One day, she saw a small bird on the ground. It had a broken wing and could not fly. Lila felt sad for the bird. It was helpless. + +She picked up the bird gently and carried it to her home. She asked her mom to help her heal the bird. Her mom gave her a soft cloth, some water, and some seeds. Lila wrapped the bird's wing with the cloth and gave it some water and seeds. She put the bird in a basket and kept it in her room. + +Every day, Lila checked on the bird and gave it more water and seeds. She also found some leaves in the forest and put them in the basket. She hoped the leaves would make the bird feel more at home. She talked to the bird and sang to it. She named it Fluffy. + +After a few weeks, Lila noticed that the bird's wing was better. It could move it a little bit and flap it softly. She was happy to see the bird getting stronger. She decided to take the bird back to the forest and let it go. She wanted the bird to be free and happy. + +She carried the basket to the forest and opened it. The bird looked at her with its bright eyes and chirped. It hopped out of the basket and onto a branch. It flapped its wings and flew up to the sky. Lila smiled and waved goodbye. She felt proud that she had helped the bird heal. She knew the bird would always remember her. She hoped to see it again someday. +Tim and Mia love to go to the big water place with Mom and Dad. They see many fish and animals that swim in the water. They like to look at them and learn their names. + +One day, they see a big fish with many teeth. It is gray and has a fin on its back. Mom says it is a shark. Tim and Mia stare at the shark. They are not scared, they are amazed. The shark swims fast and looks strong. + +The shark comes close to the glass where Tim and Mia are. They can see its eyes and mouth. The shark looks at them too.

They want to see more sharks and other water animals. They have fun at the big water place. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the garden behind their houses. There were many flowers and trees and bugs. Lily loved to smell the flowers and watch them bloom. Tom liked to build things with bricks and sticks and mud. + +One day, they found a big pile of bricks near the fence. Tom was very happy. He said, "Look, Lily, we can make a house with these bricks. It will be our secret place." Lily nodded and smiled. She helped Tom carry the bricks and stack them. They made a door and a window and a roof. + +But they did not see the sign on the fence. It said, "Danger. Do not touch. These bricks are old and weak. They will fall down and hurt you." The sign had big words that Lily and Tom could not read. + +They finished their house and went inside. They felt very proud and cozy. They pretended to cook and eat and sleep. They laughed and sang and told stories. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. It came to the garden to take away the bricks. The truck driver did not see the house. He pushed the pile of bricks with his shovel. The bricks started to shake and crack. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They ran to the door. But the door was blocked by bricks. They could not get out. They cried and shouted, "Help, help, we are here!" + +The truck driver heard them. He stopped the truck and got out. He saw the house and the sign. He felt sorry and worried.

I did not know you were here. You should not play with these bricks. They are dangerous. They can fall down and hurt you. You are lucky I heard you." + +Lily and Tom nodded and said, "We are sorry, too. We did not know the bricks were bad. We just wanted to make a house. We are lucky you saved us." + +The truck driver took them to their parents. Their parents were angry and scared. They scolded them and hugged them. They took them to the doctor. The doctor cleaned their wounds and gave them bandages and lollipops. + +Lily and Tom learned their lesson. They never played with bricks again. They played with flowers and trees and bugs. They watched them bloom and grow and fly. They were still best friends. They were happy and safe. +Lily was a little girl who loved to chew gum. She chewed gum all day and all night, even when her mom and dad told her to stop. She did not listen to them, because she liked the bubbles and the taste. She thought gum was the best thing in the world. + +One day, Lily found a big pack of gum in her stocking. She was so happy, she ran to her room and opened it. She put all the gum in her mouth at once, and started to chew. She blew a huge bubble, bigger than her head. She was very proud of her bubble, and wanted to show it to everyone. + +She ran downstairs, but the bubble was so big, it got stuck in the chimney. Lily tried to pull it out, but it was too sticky. She started to cry, because she could not breathe. She wished she had listened to her mom and dad, and chewed less gum. + +Her mom and dad heard her cry, and came to help her. They saw the bubble in the chimney, and were very scared. They called the fireman, who came with a ladder and a scissors. He climbed up the ladder, and cut the bubble with the scissors. He freed Lily, and gave her some air. He was very patient and kind, and told her not to chew so much gum. + +Lily was very sorry, and hugged her mom and dad. She thanked the fireman, and promised to chew less gum. She learned her lesson, and realized that too much of anything is bad. She decided to share her gum with her friends, and to chew only one piece at a time. She was happier, and healthier, and never got stuck in the chimney again. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They want to make something with the box. + +"Let's make a motorcycle!" Max says. He likes motorcycles. They are fast and loud. + +"OK, but I want it to be pink!" Lily says. She likes pink. It is pretty and bright. + +They use scissors, tape and markers to make the box look like a motorcycle.

He pushes the box with Lily on it. + +They pretend to ride the motorcycle around the garage. They have fun. They are happy. They made a pink motorcycle. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big hill of dirt with many tiny black dots. They went closer and saw that the dots were ants. The ants were busy carrying things and making tunnels. + +"Wow, look at the ants!" Anna said. "They are so small and fast. What are they doing?" + +"They are building their home," Ben said. "They work together and help each other. They are very smart." + +Anna and Ben watched the ants for a long time. They saw some ants carrying leaves, some ants carrying seeds, and some ants carrying other bugs. They also saw some ants fighting with a spider. + +"Look, the spider is trying to eat the ants!" Anna said. "But the ants are fighting back. They are brave." + +"Yes, they are," Ben said. "But we should not touch them. They might bite us. They are not our friends." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They decided to leave the ants alone and play with something else. They found a ball and a hoop. They threw the ball into the hoop and cheered. They had a lot of fun. + +The ants and the ball and the hoop excited Anna and Ben. They liked to learn new things and play new games. They thought the garden was a brilliant place. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They were curious about what was inside. They opened the box and saw many shiny things. There were crowns, necklaces, rings, and bracelets. They were all made of plastic, but they looked like real jewels. + +"Wow, look at these!" Lily said. "Let's decorate ourselves and be a king and a queen!" + +"OK, that sounds fun!" Tom agreed. They put on the crowns and the jewelry and felt very fancy. They decided to make a throne out of pillows and blankets. They sat on the throne and pretended to rule over their kingdom. + +"Hello, my subjects!" Lily said in a loud voice. "I am Queen Lily and this is King Tom. We are very kind and generous. We will give you all cookies and milk if you are good." + +"Yay, cookies and milk!" Tom said. "But first, you have to bow to us and say how great we are." + +They laughed and had a good time. They imagined that their stuffed animals and toys were their loyal followers. They gave them orders and compliments. They felt very important and happy. + +But then, they heard a noise. It was their mom coming into the garage. She saw the twins and the mess they had made. She was not very happy. + +"What are you doing here?" she asked. "You are not supposed to play with these things. They are for the charity sale. And look at this mess! You have to clean it up right now!" + +Lily and Tom felt ashamed. They did not know that the shiny things were not theirs. They took off the crowns and the jewelry and put them back in the box. They apologized to their mom and helped her tidy up the garage. They learned their lesson. They realized that being a king and a queen was not as fun as being good children. +Tim did not like to go to the barber. He had to sit still on a big chair and let a man cut his hair with scissors and a buzzer. The buzzer made a loud noise and tickled his ears. The scissors made him nervous.

They had walked too far from their house. They were scared and lost. + +They saw a deer in the woods. The deer had brown fur and big antlers. He looked at them with kind eyes. He came closer and sniffed them. He seemed to know they needed help. He nudged them with his nose and made a soft sound. + +Lily and Ben followed the deer. He led them through the trees and the snow. He knew where to go. He took them to a road where they saw a car. The car had a sign that said "Park Ranger". The ranger was a man who wore a green hat and a badge. He saw Lily and Ben and smiled. + +"Are you OK, kids?" he asked. "You look very cold and tired. How did you get here?" + +Lily and Ben pointed at the deer. The deer was still there, watching them.

You're very lucky he found you." + +The ranger gave Lily and Ben some blankets and hot chocolate. He called their parents and told them where they were. He thanked the deer and gave him some food.

"But maybe we can write letters. And maybe we can visit someday." + +They hug and say goodbye. Lily gets in the car with her mom and dad. Tom waves as they drive away. + +Tom feels lonely. He goes to the park, but it is not the same without Lily. He misses her voice, her smile, her jokes. + +He decides to write a letter to Lily. He draws a picture of them playing in the park.

He hopes Lily will write back soon. He hopes she will remember him. He hopes they will see each other again. +Lily was a girl who liked to wonder. She wondered about the stars, the birds, the trees, and everything else. She asked her mom and dad many questions, but they did not always have the answers. Sometimes they said, "We don't know, Lily. Why don't you find out for yourself?" + +One day, Lily saw a high hill near her house. She wondered what was on top of the hill. She wanted to see the view and maybe find something new. She asked her mom if she could go to the hill, but her mom said, "No, Lily. The hill is too high and too far. You might get lost or hurt. You can play in the yard instead." + +Lily was sad and angry. She did not want to play in the yard. She wanted to go to the hill. She thought her mom was not fair. She decided to sneak out of the house and go to the hill anyway. She took her backpack and her teddy bear and walked to the hill. + +The hill was higher and farther than she thought. She had to climb over rocks and bushes and dirt. She got tired and thirsty and hungry. She wished she had brought some water and snacks. She also wished she had told her mom where she was going. She started to feel scared and lonely.

She could not see her house or the road. She did not know how to get back. She started to cry and call for her mom. She hoped her mom would hear her and find her. + +Her mom did hear her and find her. She had been looking for her since she noticed she was gone. She was very worried and angry. She ran to Lily and hugged her. She said, "Lily, I'm so glad you're safe. But I'm also very upset. Why did you go to the hill without telling me? You could have been hurt or lost. You disobeyed me and broke my trust. That is not okay." + +Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to see the hill and wonder about it. I thought you were not fair. But I was wrong. The hill was not fun. It was hard and scary. I missed you and the yard. I learned my lesson. I will listen to you and follow your rules. Please forgive me." + +Her mom forgave her and kissed her. She said, "I love you, Lily. I'm happy you learned your lesson. But you still have to face the consequences. You will not get dessert tonight and you will have to do extra chores tomorrow. And you will not go to the hill again until you are older and ready. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mom. Thank you for loving me and caring for me. You are the best mom ever." + +They walked back to the house, holding hands and talking. Lily still wondered about many things, but she also trusted her mom and respected her rules. She knew that wonder was good, but wisdom was better. +Lily loved parades. She liked to see the big floats, the funny clowns, the loud music and the shiny balloons. She always asked her mom to let her go to the parades in the town. But her mom said no. She said parades were too crowded, too noisy and too far away. She said Lily was too little to enjoy them. + +One day, Lily saw a poster on the wall. It said there was a parade in the park. The park was close to her house. The poster had pictures of animals, flowers, stars and rainbows. Lily wanted to go to the parade very much. She ran to her mom and showed her the poster. She begged her mom to let her go to the parade. + +Her mom looked at the poster and smiled. She said, "This is not a real parade, Lily. This is a pretend parade. It is for children like you. You can dress up as anything you want and join the parade. Do you want to do that?" + +Lily nodded her head. She was so happy. She said, "Yes, mom, I want to do that. Can I be a princess?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, you can be a princess. You are my princess. Let's find you a dress and a crown." + +They went to Lily's room and found a pink dress and a plastic crown. Lily put them on and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt like a real princess. She said, "I am ready, mom. Let's go to the parade." + +They walked to the park and saw many other children dressed up as different things. There were pirates, fairies, superheroes, animals and more. They all lined up and followed a man with a whistle. He blew the whistle and the parade started. They walked around the park, waving, smiling and singing. Lily saw her friends and waved to them.

They want to pick some corn for dinner. They bring a big basket and a knife. They walk between the rows of corn and look for the best ones. + +"Look, Tom, this one is big and yellow!" Lila says. She cuts the corn from the stalk and puts it in the basket. + +"Good job, Lila!" Tom says. He finds another corn and cuts it too. "This one is big and yellow too!" + +They fill the basket with corn and smile. They are happy. They have enough corn for dinner and more. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is thunder. They look at the sky. It is dark and gray. It is going to rain. + +"Oh no, Tom, it is going to rain!" Lila says. She is scared. She does not like thunder and rain. + +"Don't worry, Lila, we can run to the barn!" Tom says. He is brave. He takes the basket and the knife. He holds Lila's hand. "Come on, Lila, let's go!" + +They run to the barn as fast as they can. They see the rain start to fall. It falls hard and fast. It makes the ground wet and muddy. It makes the corn wet too. + +They reach the barn and go inside. They see the cows and the pigs and the chickens. They are dry and warm. They are not scared of the rain. + +Lila and Tom put the basket and the knife on a table. They sit on a hay bale and hug. They are safe and dry too. They are not scared of the rain anymore. + +They wait for the rain to stop. They talk and laugh and sing. They share some corn and feed some to the animals. They are happy. They have corn and friends and a barn. They have everything they need. +Lily and Ben were at the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. They had fun feeding the goats and riding the train. But Lily's favorite animal was the panda. She thought it was so charming, with its black and white fur and round ears. She wanted to hug it and play with it. + +Mom said it was time to go home. She took Lily and Ben by the hand and walked to the exit. But Lily did not want to leave the panda. She tried to resist. She pulled her hand away from mom and ran back to the panda cage. She climbed on the fence and reached out to touch the panda. + +"Stop, Lily!" mom shouted. "That's dangerous! The panda might bite you or scratch you. Come back here right now!" + +Lily did not listen. She was too curious and excited. She wanted to be friends with the panda. She smiled and waved at it. The panda looked at her and tilted its head. It seemed to like her too. It moved closer to the fence and sniffed her hand. + +But then, a loud noise scared the panda. It was the zookeeper, who came to check on the animals. He saw Lily on the fence and yelled, "Hey, kid! Get down from there! You're not supposed to be there! That's against the rules!" + +The panda was startled by the zookeeper's voice. It backed away from the fence and growled. It showed its teeth and claws. It was not happy anymore. It was angry and afraid. + +Lily was scared too. She realized she had made a mistake. She did not want to upset the panda or the zookeeper. She wanted to go back to mom. She quickly climbed down from the fence and ran to the exit. She found mom and Ben waiting for her. She hugged mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't do that again. I love you." + +Mom was relieved and glad. She hugged Lily back and said, "I love you too, Lily. I'm glad you're safe. But you have to listen to me and follow the rules. The zoo is a fun place, but it can also be dangerous. You have to be careful and respectful of the animals. They are not toys. They are living creatures with feelings and needs. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. The panda is charming, but it is not my friend. It is a wild animal. It belongs to the zoo. I can look at it and admire it, but I can't touch it or bother it. I'm sorry, panda. I hope you're okay." + +The panda heard Lily's voice and looked at her again. It saw that she was sorry and that she meant no harm. It calmed down and gave her a small nod. It forgave her and hoped she learned her lesson. It went back to its bamboo and ate some. It was happy and peaceful again. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big dollhouse that their grandma gave them. The dollhouse had many rooms, furniture, and dolls. It was very expensive, but grandma said they could have it because they were good children. + +One day, Lily and Ben decided to play with the dollhouse in the living room. They made up stories about the dolls and what they did in the house. They had a lot of fun, but they also made a lot of mess. They left toys, clothes, and books all over the floor. + +Mom came home from work and saw the mess. She was not happy. She told Lily and Ben to clean up their mess and put their toys away. She also told them to go to the bathroom and wash their hands before dinner. Lily and Ben did not want to stop playing, but they knew they had to listen to mom. They hoped mom would not be mad at them for too long. + +They quickly picked up their toys and put them back in the dollhouse. They were careful not to break anything, because they knew the dollhouse was very expensive and they loved it very much. They carried the dollhouse to their bedroom and put it on a shelf. They said goodbye to the dolls and thanked them for playing with them. + +Then they ran to the bathroom and washed their hands. They used soap and water and dried them with a towel. They looked at themselves in the mirror and smiled. They were proud of themselves for cleaning up and doing what mom said. They hoped mom would be proud of them too. They ran to the kitchen and hugged mom. Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said she was sorry for being angry and that she loved them very much. She said they could play with the dollhouse again tomorrow, after they did their homework. Lily and Ben were happy and said they loved mom too. They sat down at the table and ate their dinner. They talked about their day and their dollhouse. They hoped they would have more fun tomorrow. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play ball in the yard. Sam is older and he can throw the ball very far. Ben is younger and he can catch the ball very well. + +One day, they are playing ball and Sam throws the ball very high. Ben runs to catch it, but he does not see the fence. He hits the fence and falls down. He cries and his nose bleeds. + +Sam runs to Ben and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I did not mean to hurt you. Are you okay?" + +Ben looks at Sam and says, "It's okay, Sam. It was an accident. You did not do it on purpose. But it hurts a lot." + +Sam hugs Ben and says, "Let me help you. We can go inside and get a band-aid. Mom will make you feel better." + +They walk inside and Mom sees them. She says, "What happened, boys? Why are you bleeding, Ben?" + +Sam says, "We were playing ball and I threw it very high. Ben ran to catch it, but he hit the fence. It was my fault, Mom. I'm sorry." + +Mom says, "Don't worry, Sam. It was not your fault. It was a harmless game. You were just having fun. But you have to be careful next time. You don't want to hurt yourself or your brother." + +She cleans Ben's nose and puts a band-aid on it. She gives them both a hug and a kiss. She says, "You are good boys. I love you both. Now, do you want some juice and cookies?" + +Sam and Ben say, "Yes, please, Mom. Thank you, Mom. We love you too." + +They sit on the couch and eat their snacks. They smile at each other and say, "We are still friends, right?" + +They say, "Yes, we are. We are brothers and we are friends. We always will be." + +The end. +Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to play in the garden with their toys. One day, they saw a big tree with green and yellow fruits. They were pears. Anna and Ben wanted to eat some pears. + +"Look, Ben, these pears are so big and sweet. Let's pick some and share with Mom and Dad," Anna said. + +"OK, Anna, but how can we reach them? They are too high for us," Ben said. + +Anna had an idea. She saw a big box near the fence. She dragged the box to the tree and climbed on it. She reached for a pear and pulled it. It was heavy and juicy. + +"Here, Ben, catch this pear. It is for you," Anna said and threw the pear to Ben. + +Ben tried to catch the pear, but it was too fast. It hit his head and bounced away. Ben fell down and started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow, that hurt. Anna, you are mean. You threw the pear too hard. You made me fall and change my clothes. They are dirty now," Ben said. + +Anna felt sorry for Ben. She climbed down from the box and ran to him. She hugged him and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to hurt you. I wanted to give you a pear. It was a beautiful pear. Can you forgive me?" Anna said. + +Ben looked at Anna and saw that she was sad. He stopped crying and hugged her back. + +"It's OK, Anna. I forgive you. You are my sister and I love you. But next time, be careful with the pears. They are hard and can hurt," Ben said. + +Anna and Ben smiled and kissed each other. They decided to look for the pear that bounced away. They found it near the flowers. It was still big and sweet. They washed it with the hose and ate it together. They shared the pear with Mom and Dad. They were happy. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they want different things. Today, Ben wants to go outside and play with his bike. Lily wants to stay inside and play with her dolls. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go outside. It is sunny and warm. We can ride our bikes and have fun," Ben says. + +"No, Ben, I want to stay inside. It is comfortable and cozy. I can play with my dolls and have tea," Lily says. + +Ben and Lily start to argue. They raise their voices and make faces at each other. Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. + +"Ben and Lily, why are you fighting? You are both good children. You can play what you want, but you have to be nice to each other," Mom says. + +"But Mom, I want to go outside and Lily wants to stay inside. She is boring and lazy," Ben says. + +"But Mom, I want to stay inside and Ben wants to go outside. He is noisy and rude," Lily says. + +Mom thinks for a moment. She has an idea. + +"How about this? You can both play what you want, but you have to take turns. Ben, you can go outside and play with your bike for a while, and then you have to come back and play with Lily and her dolls. Lily, you can stay inside and play with your dolls for a while, and then you have to go outside and play with Ben and his bike. That way, you can both have fun and learn something new. What do you think?" Mom says. + +Ben and Lily look at each other. They think Mom's idea is fair. They nod and smile. + +"Okay, Mom, we will try that. Thank you, Mom," Ben and Lily say. + +Mom hugs them and kisses them. She is happy that they are getting along. + +"Good, I am proud of you. Now, go and play, and have a good day," Mom says. +Lily loved to play hide and seek with her big brother Tom. She was very good at finding places to hide, like under the bed, behind the curtain, or in the closet. Tom always had to look for a long time before he could touch her and say "I found you!" + +One day, they played hide and seek in the garden. Lily ran to the big tree and climbed up to a branch. She thought Tom would never see her there. She smiled and waited for him to give up. + +Tom looked everywhere for Lily. He checked the bushes, the swing, the shed, but he could not find her. He started to feel tired and bored. He wondered where Lily was hiding. He looked up at the sky and saw a beautiful bird flying by. He wished he could fly too. + +Then he heard a giggle from above. He looked up again and saw Lily on the tree. She was waving at him and laughing. She thought she had won the game. Tom had an idea. He ran to the tree and grabbed a stick. He poked the branch where Lily was sitting. Lily felt the stick and lost her balance. She screamed and fell down from the tree. Tom caught her in his arms and said "I found you!" + +Lily was not hurt, but she was surprised and angry. She tried to push Tom away, but he hugged her and said "You are a good hider, but I am a better finder. I win!" He lifted her up and spun her around. Lily stopped being angry and started to laugh too. She hugged Tom back and said "You are a good finder, but I am a better climber. Next time, I will hide higher!" They both smiled and ran to the house. They had a lot of fun playing hide and seek. They both felt victory. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But soon they felt tired and hungry. Their mom came and said, "It's time for lunch, kids. Come and wash your hands with soap." + +Lily and Ben ran to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. They rubbed their hands with soap and made bubbles. They liked the smell of the soap and how it made their hands clean. But they also liked to splash water and make a mess. They laughed and giggled as they wet the floor and the mirror. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to check on them. She was not happy to see the water everywhere. She said, "Lily and Ben, what are you doing? You are making a big mess. Stop splashing and dry your hands. And don't forget to turn off the faucet." + +Lily and Ben said, "Sorry, mom. We were just having fun." They dried their hands with a towel and turned off the faucet. They followed their mom to the kitchen and ate their lunch. They had sandwiches and juice and cookies. They liked their lunch and said, "Thank you, mom." + +Their mom said, "You're welcome, kids. But now you need to take a nap. You are very tired and you need to rest. Go to your room and get ready for your nap." + +Lily and Ben did not want to take a nap. They wanted to play more. They said, "No, mom. We are not tired. We are not ready for a nap." + +Their mom said, "Yes, you are. You are yawning and rubbing your eyes. And you know what happens if you don't take a nap. You get cranky and fussy and you can't enjoy the rest of the day. Trust me, you will feel better after a nap." + +Lily and Ben knew their mom was right. They remembered how they felt the last time they skipped their nap. They were grumpy and whiny and they did not have fun. They did not want to feel that way again. They said, "Okay, mom. We will take a nap. But can we take our toys with us?" + +Their mom said, "Sure, you can. But only one toy each. And don't play with them in bed. Just cuddle with them and close your eyes. I will come and check on you later." + +Lily and Ben picked their favorite toys and went to their room. They put their toys on their pillows and got under the covers. They said, "Good night, mom. We love you." + +Their mom said, "Good night, kids. I love you too. Have a nice nap." + +Lily and Ben closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of their toys and their fun. They napped for an hour and woke up feeling refreshed and happy. They were ready for more adventures. +Ben and Lily were gifted twins. They could do many things well, like singing, drawing, and counting. They liked to show off their skills to their friends and family. But they were not very good at sharing or caring. + +One day, they found a big bike in the garage. It had two wheels, a seat, and a handle. They both wanted to ride it, but there was only one bike. They started to fight over it, pulling and pushing each other. + +"Let me have it! It's mine!" Ben shouted. + +"No, it's mine! I saw it first!" Lily yelled. + +They did not listen to their mom, who told them to stop and take turns. They did not notice the bike was old and broken. The handle was loose and the wheels were flat. + +As they fought, the handle came off in Ben's hand. He lost his balance and fell to the ground. The bike rolled away and hit a wall. The wheels bent and the seat cracked. + +Ben and Lily stared at the broken bike. They both started to cry. They had ruined the bike and hurt themselves. They had no one to play with or to help them. They wished they had been nicer and smarter. But it was too late. They had lost their chance to have fun and learn. +Tom and Jen like to play soccer in the park. They have a ball and two goals. They want to see who can score more goals. They measure the field with their steps. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. They put the goals ten steps apart. + +"Are you ready, Jen?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, I am ready, Tom. Let's play!" Jen says. + +They kick the ball back and forth. Tom is fast and strong. He scores one goal, then two, then three. Jen is smart and quick. She scores one goal, then two, then three. They are tied. They want to score one more goal to win. + +They run after the ball. They both want the ball. They push and pull and shout. They are angry and crazy. They forget to have fun. They forget to be nice. + +They reach the ball at the same time. They kick the ball hard. The ball flies in the air. It hits a bird. The bird falls to the ground. It does not move. It is hurt. It is sad. + +Tom and Jen stop. They look at the bird. They feel bad. They feel sorry. They cry. They lose the game. They lose the bird. They lose their friend. +Sam and his mom went to the grocery store. Sam liked to help his mom put things in the cart. He saw apples, bananas, bread, milk, and cheese. He also saw cookies, but his mom said no. + +"Mom, can we go home now?" Sam asked. He was bored of the grocery store. It was dull and noisy. + +"Not yet, Sam. We have to pay first. Then we can go home and have lunch," his mom said. + +They waited in a long line. Sam saw a big clock on the wall. It had numbers and hands. He wondered what time it was. + +"Mom, what time is it?" Sam asked. + +His mom looked at the clock. "It's almost noon, Sam. Why do you ask?" + +"Because dad said he will arrive at noon. He has a surprise for us," Sam said. + +Sam's mom smiled. She remembered what dad had told her on the phone. She was excited too. + +"That's right, Sam. Dad will arrive soon. He has a surprise for us. Do you want to guess what it is?" she asked. + +Sam thought hard. He liked surprises. Maybe dad had a new toy for him. Or a book. Or a cake. + +"Is it a dinosaur?" Sam guessed. + +His mom laughed. "No, Sam. It's not a dinosaur. But it's something you will love. I promise." + +They paid for their groceries and went to the car. Sam helped his mom put the bags in the trunk. He buckled his seat belt and looked out the window. He hoped dad would arrive soon. He wanted to see the surprise. +Mia and Leo were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to make sand castles and pretend they were kings and queens. They also liked to slide and swing and run around. + +But then the sky became dark and gray. They heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They saw flashes of light. It was lightning. They felt drops of water on their faces. It was rain. + +"Let's go home!" Mia said. "We don't like rain. It makes us wet and cold." + +"No, let's stay!" Leo said. "We like rain. It makes the flowers grow and the birds sing. It is fun to splash and jump in the puddles." + +They looked at each other. They did not agree. They did not know what to do. + +Then they saw their mom and dad coming. They had umbrellas and raincoats. They smiled and waved at them. + +"Hi, kids!" their mom said. "Are you ready to go home?" + +"We have a surprise for you!" their dad said. "We made some soup and bread for you. They are warm and spicy. They will make you feel good." + +Mia and Leo ran to their parents. They hugged them and said thank you. They took their umbrellas and raincoats. They did not mind the rain anymore. They were happy to go home. + +They walked together, holding hands. They sang a song about rain. They said hello to the other people and animals they met. They welcomed the rain as a friend. They looked forward to their soup and bread. They were a happy family. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, Lily has a new toy. It is a doll with long hair and a pink dress. Tom likes the doll too. He wants to play with it. + +"Can I have your doll?" Tom asks Lily. + +"No, it is mine. I love it. It is not cheap. Mommy bought it for me," Lily says. + +Tom is sad. He does not have a doll. He only has a car. It is old and broken. The wheels fall off and the paint is gone. It is cheap. Nobody loves it. + +Tom has an idea. He finds some tape in the drawer. He uses the tape to fix his car. He puts the wheels back and covers the paint with tape. He makes the car look new and shiny. + +"Look at my car!" Tom says to Lily. "It is not cheap. It is good. I love it. Do you want to play with it?" + +Lily looks at Tom's car. She sees the tape and smiles. She thinks Tom is clever and kind. She likes his car too. + +"Your car is nice. You are good. I love it. Yes, I want to play with it," Lily says. + +Lily and Tom share their toys. They play with the doll and the car. They are happy. They are friends. They love each other. +Lila was a girl who liked to demand things. She always wanted to have the best toys, the most candy, and the most attention. She did not like to share or say thank you. She thought she was better than everyone else. + +One day, she saw a shiny steel bike in the store. She wanted it very much. She told her mom to buy it for her. Her mom said no. She said the bike was too big and too expensive for Lila. She said Lila had to earn it by being good and helping at home. + +Lila was very angry. She threw a tantrum in the store. She screamed and cried and kicked. She said she hated her mom. She said she wanted the bike now. Everyone in the store looked at her. They thought she was very rude and spoiled. + +Lila's mom was very sad. She took Lila home. She said Lila had to go to her room and think about what she did. She said Lila had to learn to be kind and grateful. She said Lila had to apologize to her and to the people in the store. + +Lila felt ashamed. She realized she had been very mean and selfish. She did not like how she made her mom and others feel. She wished she had been more nice and polite. She decided to change her attitude. She said sorry to her mom. She said she did not need the bike. She said she loved her mom. She said she wanted to be good and helpful. + +Lila's mom was very happy. She hugged Lila and forgave her. She said she was proud of Lila for being honest and humble. She said she loved Lila too. She said she would help Lila find a bike that was right for her. She said they would go to the store again and say sorry to the people there. + +Lila felt happy too. She learned that demanding things did not make her happy. She learned that being good and respectful made her happy. She learned that her mom and others cared for her. She learned that happiness came from inside, not from outside. +Tom likes to play with his toy car. He makes it zoom and beep on the floor. He pretends he is a mechanic and fixes it when it breaks.

He liked it so much that he wanted to taste it. He did not know it was a toy. He thought it was a snack. + +Anna smiled and hugged Fluffy. She forgave him. She said, "It's okay, Fluffy. I love you. Next time, I will design something else for you. Something that you can play with, not eat." +Anna and Ben are best friends. They like to play outside in the park. Today, they pretend they are astronauts. They find a big cardboard box and make it into a rocket. They draw buttons and windows on the box with crayons. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Anna asks. "We are going to the moon!" + +"Yes, I am ready, Anna!" Ben says. "Let's count down. Five, four, three, two, one, blast off!" + +They make loud noises as they lift off the ground. They shake the box and imagine they are flying through the sky. They see stars and planets and comets. + +"Look, Anna, there is a firework!" Ben says, pointing to a bright spark in the air. + +"Wow, it is so pretty!" Anna says. "Maybe it is a sign that we are almost there!" + +They land on the moon and get out of the box. They hop around and explore. They find rocks and dust and craters. + +"We are so independent!" Anna says. "We can do anything we want!" + +"Yes, we are!" Ben says. "We are the best astronauts ever!" + +They have fun on the moon until it is time to go home. They get back in the box and fly back to the park. They hug and say goodbye. + +"See you tomorrow, Ben!" Anna says. + +"See you tomorrow, Anna!" Ben says. + +They smile and run to their moms. They are happy and proud of their adventure. +Mia and Leo were playing in the garden. They had a spray bottle and a hose. They liked to spray water on the flowers and on each other. + +"Spray me, spray me!" Leo shouted. He ran around the grass, laughing. + +Mia aimed the spray bottle at him and squeezed. But the water did not come out. She looked at the bottle. It was empty. + +"Oh no, we need more water!" Mia said. She ran to the hose and turned it on. Water came out fast and strong. + +Mia picked up the hose and tried to spray Leo. But the hose was too heavy for her. She could not lift it up. The water only sprayed her waist and legs. + +"Help me, Leo!" Mia cried. "The hose is too big!" + +Leo ran to Mia and grabbed the hose. He lifted it up with both hands. He sprayed Mia's face and hair. Mia screamed and giggled. + +"Got you, got you!" Leo said. He sprayed the air and made a rainbow. + +Mia wiped her eyes and smiled. She sprayed Leo back with the bottle. They had fun with the water. + +They did not think the garden was boring anymore. +Ben and Mia like to play hide and seek in the park. They run and laugh and have fun. One day, they see a big blue house near the park. They are curious and want to see inside. + +They go to the door and knock. No one answers. They push the door and it opens. They go in and look around. The house is dark and dusty. There are old things everywhere. Ben and Mia feel scared. + +"Let's go back, Ben," Mia says. "This house is spooky." + +"No, let's explore more," Ben says. "Maybe we can find something cool." + +They go up the stairs and find a room with a big bed. On the bed, there is a white sheet. Ben thinks it is funny and puts the sheet over his head. He pretends to be a ghost and says, "Boo!" + +Mia screams and runs away. Ben laughs and follows her. He says, "Boo!" again and again. + +Mia runs down the stairs and out the door. She sees a man standing outside. He is holding a rake and a bag. He looks angry. + +"Hey, you kids! What are you doing in my house?" he shouts. + +Ben and Mia are shocked. They drop the sheet and scatter. They run back to the park as fast as they can. They don't want to see the blue house or the man or the sheet ever again. They hug each other and say, "That was scary!" + +They decide to play hide and seek in the park again. They think it is safer and more fun. They forget about the blue house and the ghost and the man. They are happy. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Spot who liked to run and bark. + +One day, they decided to play hide and seek. Sara said, "I will count to ten and you hide. Then I will find you and whistle. Then you come out and we switch." Tom nodded and ran to find a good hiding place. + +Sara closed her eyes and counted. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Ready or not, here I come!" She opened her eyes and looked around. The sunshine was bright and mild. She saw Spot lying under a tree. She saw the swing moving a little. She saw the slide shining. She did not see Tom. + +She walked around the yard and called, "Tom, where are you? I can't find you. Come out, come out, wherever you are!" She heard no answer. She felt sad and worried. She wondered if Tom had gone away or got hurt. + +She decided to check the sandbox. Maybe Tom was hiding under the sand. She ran to the sandbox and saw a big pile of sand. She dug with her hands and saw a shoe. She dug more and saw a leg. She dug more and saw Tom's face. He was not moving. He was not breathing. He was covered with sand. He was not playing. He was dead. + +Sara screamed and cried. She tried to whistle, but no sound came out. She tried to wake Tom up, but he did not open his eyes. She tried to get help, but no one heard her. She was alone with Tom and Spot and the sunshine. She wished she had never played hide and seek. She wished Tom was alive. She wished she could whistle. +Lila and Tom were playing with blocks in the garden. They liked to build towers and houses with the blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look, I made a big house with a door and a window!" Lila said, showing Tom her creation. + +"That's nice, but I made a taller tower with a flag on top!" Tom said, pointing to his block stack. + +They both admired their blocks, but then they saw a big cloud in the sky. The cloud was gray and dull. It covered the sun and made the garden dark and cold. + +"Oh no, the cloud is hiding the sun!" Lila said, feeling sad. + +"I don't like the cloud, it makes everything look dull!" Tom said, feeling angry. + +They wished the cloud would go away and let the sun shine again. They thought of a plan to make the cloud leave. + +"Maybe we can separate the cloud with our blocks!" Lila said, having an idea. + +"How?" Tom asked, curious. + +"Maybe we can throw our blocks at the cloud and make a hole in it!" Lila said, excited. + +They decided to try their plan. They picked up their blocks and threw them as high as they could. They hoped their blocks would reach the cloud and separate it. + +But their blocks did not go very far. They fell back to the ground and made a mess. Some of their blocks broke and some of them landed on their heads. + +"Ow, that hurts!" Lila said, rubbing her head. + +"This is not working!" Tom said, feeling frustrated. + +They stopped throwing their blocks and looked at the cloud. The cloud was still there, big and dull. It did not move or separate. + +They felt sad and disappointed. They wanted to see the sun again. They wondered if the sun would ever come back. + +They sat down on the grass and hugged each other. They waited for the cloud to go away. They hoped the sun would shine again soon. +Sara and her mom went to a restaurant for lunch. Sara liked the restaurant because it had many pictures of animals on the walls. She saw a lion, a monkey, a fish and a bird. She pointed at each one and asked her mom what they were. + +"That's a lion, Sara. It is big and strong and has a loud roar. That's a monkey, Sara. It is small and funny and likes to swing on trees. That's a fish, Sara. It is wet and slippery and lives in the water. That's a bird, Sara. It is colorful and fluffy and can fly in the sky." Her mom answered. + +Sara was happy to learn new words. She wanted to ask more questions, but then a man came to their table. He had a white apron and a big smile. He asked them what they wanted to eat. + +"Hello, I'm Tom. I'm your waiter. What can I get for you today?" He asked. + +Sara looked at the menu. It had many words that she did not know. She felt confused and shy. She did not answer. + +Her mom saw that Sara was quiet. She helped her choose something to eat. + +"Sara, how about a cheese sandwich and some apple juice? That's your favorite, right?" She asked. + +Sara nodded. She liked cheese and apple juice. They were yummy and made her feel strong. + +"Yes, please. I want a cheese sandwich and some apple juice." She answered. + +Tom wrote down their order. He said he would bring it soon. He also gave them some crayons and a paper to draw on. Sara was happy. She liked to draw. She decided to draw the animals that she saw on the walls. She drew a lion, a monkey, a fish and a bird. She used different colors for each one. She showed her mom her drawing. + +"Wow, Sara, that's a beautiful drawing. You are very good at drawing. You know the names of the animals, too. You are very smart." Her mom said. + +Sara smiled. She felt proud and happy. She thanked her mom and Tom for the lunch and the drawing. She enjoyed the restaurant. She learned new words and had fun. She wanted to come back again. +Tim and Lily were eager to play with their new toy. It was a big balloon that could fly in the air. They got it from their grandma for their birthday. + +They ran outside to the park with their mom. They found a nice spot under a big tree. Mom helped them tie a string to the balloon. She said, "Be careful, don't let go of the string or the balloon will fly away." + +Tim and Lily nodded. They took turns holding the string and watching the balloon. It was red and shiny. It looked like a light in the sky. + +"Can I hold it now?" Lily asked Tim. + +"OK, but only for a little bit," Tim said. He gave the string to Lily. + +Lily smiled. She pulled the string and made the balloon go up and down. She felt the wind on her face. She was having fun. + +But then, a big gust of wind came. It blew the balloon hard. Lily tried to hold on, but the string slipped from her hand. She gasped. + +"Mom, the balloon!" she cried. + +Mom, Tim, and Lily looked up. They saw the balloon fly higher and higher. It went over the tree and out of sight. + +"Oh no, the balloon!" Tim said. He was sad. + +Lily was sad too. She felt tears in her eyes. She ran to Mom and hugged her. + +"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to release the balloon," she said. + +Mom hugged her back. She said, "It's OK, honey. It was an accident. Don't cry. Maybe the balloon will find a new friend in the sky." + +Tim came over and hugged them too. He said, "Yeah, maybe the balloon will be happy with the birds and the clouds." + +They looked at the sky and tried to imagine where the balloon went. They hoped it was OK. They still loved the balloon. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big cart with many toys. They run to the cart and grab some toys. They do not see the sign that says "Do not touch". + +"Look, Sara, I have a ball!" Ben says. + +"I have a doll!" Sara says. + +They are very happy. They do not hear the angry voice of the man who owns the cart. + +"Hey, you little thieves! Give me back my toys!" the man yells. + +He runs to the cart and tries to take the toys from Sara and Ben. They are scared. They panic. They drop the toys and run away. They do not see the road. They do not see the big truck. + +The truck is fast. It is loud. It cannot stop. It hits Sara and Ben. They fall down. They do not get up. They are very hurt. They do not breathe. + +The man sees what happens. He is shocked. He drops the toys. He does not care about them anymore. He calls for help. But it is too late. + +The mom sees what happens. She is far away. She runs to Sara and Ben. She cries. She screams. She hugs them. But they do not hug her back. They are cold. They are dry. They are gone. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. They saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was friendly and licked their faces. They laughed and petted the dog. + +"Hello, doggy! What is your name?" Lily asked. + +The dog barked and wagged his tail. He looked at them with his big, black eyes. + +"His name is Max. He is my dog. He is very charming, don't you think?" A boy came over and smiled. He was wearing a red shirt and blue pants. He was holding a leash. + +"Hi, I'm Ben. This is my sister, Lily. We like your dog. He is very nice," Ben said. + +"Hi, I'm Sam. Thank you. Do you want to play with us?" Sam asked. + +"Yes, please!" Lily said. + +They played together for a while. They threw a ball for Max, who ran after it and brought it back. They also played tag and hide and seek. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Ben realized something. He looked at his pants and saw a big hole. He had torn his pants when he slid down the slide. He felt sad and embarrassed. + +"Oh no! Look at my pants! They are broken!" Ben said. + +He covered his hole with his hands and hoped no one would see it. + +Lily saw Ben's pants and gasped. She felt sorry for him. + +"Ben, don't worry. It's okay. It's just a hole. Mom can fix it later. You still look good," Lily said. + +She hugged him and tried to make him feel better. + +Sam saw Ben's pants and smiled. He didn't laugh or tease him. He was kind and understanding. + +"Ben, it's not a big deal. I have a hole in my pants too. See?" Sam said. + +He lifted his leg and showed a small hole near his knee. He had made it when he ran on the grass. + +"Really? You do?" Ben said. + +He looked at Sam's pants and felt relieved. He was not the only one with a hole. He smiled and thanked Sam. + +"You're welcome. It's no problem. Holes are cool. They show that we have fun. Right, Max?" Sam said. + +Max barked and licked their faces. He agreed. + +They all laughed and continued to play. They didn't care about their holes. They were happy and charming. They were friends. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play cops and robbers. Tim is the cop and Sam is the robber. They have a toy gun and a toy badge. + +One day, they play in the park. Sam runs and hides behind a tree. Tim chases him and says, "Stop, robber! I will catch you!" Sam laughs and says, "No, you won't! I am too fast for you!" + +Tim sees a bright light in the sky. He looks up and sees a big balloon. It is red and yellow and blue. It is rising higher and higher. Tim forgets about Sam and says, "Wow! Look at that balloon! It is so pretty!" + +Sam hears Tim and looks up too. He sees the balloon and says, "Wow! You are right! It is so pretty!" He comes out from behind the tree and joins Tim. They watch the balloon together. + +A man comes to the park. He is the owner of the balloon. He sees Tim and Sam and says, "Hello, boys! Do you like my balloon?" Tim and Sam nod and say, "Yes, we do! It is very nice!" The man smiles and says, "Thank you! Do you want to ride in my balloon?" Tim and Sam look at each other and say, "Yes, please!" + +The man helps them get in the basket. He gives them each a hat and a scarf. He says, "Are you ready?" Tim and Sam say, "Yes, we are!" The man pulls a rope and the balloon rises higher and higher. Tim and Sam feel happy and excited. They wave to the man and say, "Thank you, mister! This is the best day ever!" +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play outside every day. They had a big sandbox, a swing, and a slide. They shared their toys and snacks. They were very happy. + +One morning, they decided to wake up early and watch the sunrise. They put on their coats and hats and sneaked out of their houses. They ran to the hill behind the park. They sat on a blanket and waited for the sun. + +"Look, Lily, the sky is changing!" Ben said. "It has many colors. Red, orange, yellow, pink, purple. It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, Ben, it is very pretty. And look, there is the sun! It is bright and warm. It is like a big ball of fire. It makes me smile!" Lily said. + +They smiled and hugged each other. They watched the sun rise higher and higher. They felt happy and cozy. + +But they did not see the big dog that was running towards them. It was a mean dog. It did not like children. It barked and growled. It wanted to bite them. + +The dog jumped on them and knocked them down. It bit their arms and legs. It tore their coats and hats. It made them cry and scream. + +Lily and Ben were very scared and hurt. They tried to push the dog away, but it was too strong. They wished their parents were there to help them. They wished they had stayed in their beds. + +The sun rose higher and higher. It shone on their faces. But they did not see it anymore. They only saw the dog. The dog that changed their happy morning into a sad one. The dog that ruined their friendship. The dog that ended their lives. +Lily and Max were playing with their dolls in the living room. Lily had a pink doll with long hair and a dress. Max had a blue doll with short hair and a hat. They were pretending that their dolls were friends who liked to go to the park. + +"Let's go to the swings!" Lily said, making her doll walk towards the door. + +"No, let's go to the slide!" Max said, making his doll follow her. + +They reached the door and stopped. They looked at each other and frowned. + +"I want to go to the swings!" Lily repeated, holding her doll tightly. + +"I want to go to the slide!" Max insisted, holding his doll firmly. + +They started to argue, raising their voices and pulling their dolls. + +"Stop it!" their mom said, coming into the living room. "What's going on here?" + +"Lily and Max are not sharing!" they both said at the same time. + +Mom sighed and knelt down next to them. She looked at their dolls and smiled. + +"What charming dolls you have!" she said. "They look like they are good friends. Do you think they would like to play together?" + +Lily and Max nodded, feeling a little ashamed. + +"Then why don't you let them have a turn on both the swings and the slide?" mom suggested. "That way, they can have fun and learn to respect each other's opinion." + +Lily and Max thought about it and agreed. They said sorry to each other and hugged. + +"Okay, let's go to the park!" Lily said, making her doll smile. + +"Okay, but first, can we have a snack?" Max said, making his doll wink. + +Mom laughed and nodded. She took their hands and led them to the kitchen. + +"Of course, you can have a snack. But only if you promise to share and not demand!" she said. + +Lily and Max promised and followed mom happily. They learned a valuable lesson that day: that being charming is not enough, you also have to be kind and fair. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They found a big worm and a shiny stone. They put them in a bucket and showed them to Mom. + +Mom said, "Wow, what a nice worm and stone! But you are very dirty. You need to wash your hands with soap and water before lunch." + +Ben and Lily did not mind. They liked to wash their hands. They went to the bathroom and turned on the tap. They got some soap and rubbed it on their hands. The soap made bubbles and smelled good. + +But then Lily saw something on the shelf. It was a bottle with a picture of a flower. It looked like soap, but it was not. It was perfume. Lily wanted to smell it. She reached for the bottle and opened it. + +"Stop!" Ben said. "That is not soap. That is Mom's perfume. It is not for us. It is for Mom. Put it back." + +But Lily did not listen. She wanted to smell the perfume. She put the bottle to her nose and sniffed. But she sniffed too hard. The perfume went up her nose and made her sneeze. She sneezed so hard that she dropped the bottle. The bottle broke and the perfume spilled on the floor. + +"Oh no!" Ben said. "Look what you did. You broke Mom's perfume. She will be mad. We need to clean it up." + +But Lily did not mind. She did not like the perfume. It made her nose hurt. She said, "I don't like perfume. I like soap. Soap is better. Let's wash our hands again." + +Ben and Lily washed their hands again. They used a lot of soap and water. They tried to clean the perfume from the floor. But the perfume was too strong. It filled the bathroom with a smell. + +Mom smelled the perfume. She came to the bathroom and saw the mess. She saw the broken bottle and the wet floor. She saw Ben and Lily with their hands full of soap. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. + +Ben and Lily looked at Mom. They did not know what to say. They minded. They were sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We made a mistake. We wanted to wash our hands. But Lily opened your perfume. And she sneezed. And she dropped it. And it broke. And it spilled. And it smelled. And we tried to clean it. But we could not. We are sorry, Mom." + +Mom looked at Ben and Lily. She saw their dirty faces and their clean hands. She saw their sad eyes and their sorry mouths. She was not mad. She was glad. She was glad that they washed their hands. She was glad that they tried to clean the mess. She was glad that they were sorry. She was glad that they were her children. + +She hugged Ben and Lily. She said, "It's okay, Ben and Lily. I'm not mad. I'm glad. I'm glad that you washed your hands. I'm glad that you tried to clean the mess. I'm glad that you are sorry. I'm glad that you are my children. I love you, Ben and Lily. But next time, please don't open my perfume. It is not for you. It is for me. And it is very expensive. And it is very strong. And it is not good for your nose. And it is not good for the floor. And it is not good for the worm and the stone. They don't like perfume. They like dirt. Let's put them back in the garden. And let's have lunch. And let's use soap. Soap is good. Soap is better. Soap is for us." +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a large bird with big wings. The bird is red and yellow. It is very pretty. + +"Look, Tom, a bird!" Sue says. "It is so big and bright!" + +"Yes, Sue, it is. Do you want to see it closer?" Tom says. He likes birds. He has a book with many birds. + +"Yes, yes, let's go!" Sue says. She runs after the bird. Tom follows her. + +The bird sees them. It flies away. It makes a loud sound. Tom and Sue stop. They are sad. + +"Where did it go?" Sue asks. She looks around. + +"I don't know. Maybe it went to its nest." Tom says. He points to a tree. "See, there is a hole in the tree. Maybe the bird lives there." + +"Can we see its nest?" Sue asks. She likes nests. She has a toy nest with eggs. + +"Maybe. But we have to be quiet and careful. We don't want to scare the bird." Tom says. He walks to the tree. Sue follows him. + +They reach the tree. They look at the hole. They see something inside. It is the bird's nest. It is full of feathers and sticks. And there are four eggs. The eggs are red and yellow, like the bird. + +"Wow, look, Tom, eggs!" Sue says. She is happy. She wants to touch them. + +"Shh, Sue, be quiet. The bird might come back." Tom says. He is happy too. He wants to see the bird. + +They wait. They are quiet. They watch the nest. They hope to see the bird. + +Soon, they hear a sound. It is the bird. It is coming back. It has something in its beak. It is a worm. It flies to the hole. It sees Tom and Sue. It is angry. + +"Go away, go away!" It says. It makes a loud sound. It flaps its wings. It tries to scare Tom and Sue. + +Tom and Sue are scared. They run away. They leave the nest. They go back to the park. + +"Sorry, bird, sorry!" They say. They don't want to make the bird mad. + +They play in the park. They don't go near the tree. They still like the bird. But they know it needs its space. They respect the bird. They are good friends. +Lily likes to play with her band. Her band is a box with many things inside. She has a drum, a horn, a guitar and a bell. She likes to make loud noises with her band. + +One day, Lily wants to take her band to the park. She puts all the things in the box and tries to lift it. But the box is too heavy for her. She can't move it. She feels sad. + +Then she sees her dad. He is wearing a big coat with a zip. He sees Lily and her band. He smiles and says, "Do you need some help, Lily?"
