Their moms have umbrellas and coats. They give Lila and Tom their umbrellas and coats. They hug Lila and Tom and say, "Do not be sad. The rain is good for the flowers and the trees. They need water to grow. And look, you have beautiful flowers for us. Thank you. We love you." + +Lila and Tom smile. They are not sad anymore. They give their moms the flowers. They say, "We love you too. And we love the valley. Can we come back when it is sunny?" + +Their moms nod and say, "Yes, of course. The valley is always here for you. And so are we." They hold hands and walk to the car. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, but they both wanted to play with the same car: a red car with a big wheel. They fought over the car and pulled it from each other. + +"Give me the car! It is mine!" Tom shouted. + +"No, it is mine! I saw it first!" Lily yelled. + +They were both stubborn and did not want to share. They made a lot of noise and their mom heard them. She came to their room and saw them fighting. + +"What is going on here?" she asked. + +"Mom, Tom took my car! He is not fair!" Lily said. + +"Mom, Lily took my car! She is not nice!" Tom said. + +Mom looked at the car and saw that it had a big wheel. She had an idea. + +"Children, why don't you take turns with the car? You can both drive it and have fun. One of you can drive it for five minutes, and then the other one can drive it for five minutes. How does that sound?" she suggested. + +Tom and Lily thought about it. They realized that mom was right. They could both enjoy the car if they shared it. They nodded and agreed. + +"Okay, mom. We will take turns. Thank you for the idea," they said. + +Mom smiled and gave them a hug. + +"That's good, children. I'm proud of you. Sharing is caring. Remember, it is more fun to play together than to fight," she said. + +Tom and Lily learned their lesson. They stopped being stubborn and started to share. They took turns with the car and drove it around the room. They had a lot of fun and laughed together. They were happy and so was mom. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. But one day, the sky turned dark and the wind blew hard. It was a hurricane. Lily and Ben's mommies told them to stay inside and be safe. + +Lily and Ben were bored. They wanted to have fun. They looked out the window and saw the trees bending and the rain falling. They wondered what it was like to be outside in the hurricane. + +"I dare you to go outside and touch a tree," Ben said to Lily. + +"No, you go first," Lily said to Ben. + +They looked at each other and smiled. They were brave. They put on their raincoats and boots and opened the door. The wind pushed them back and the rain soaked them. They ran to the nearest tree and touched it. It was wet and rough. + +They laughed and shouted. They felt the hurricane. They thought it was exciting. + +But then they heard their mommies calling them. They sounded angry and scared. Lily and Ben ran back to the door. They were sorry. They knew they did a bad thing. + +Their mommies hugged them and dried them. They told them to never go outside in a hurricane again. They said it was dangerous and foolish. They said they loved them and wanted them to be safe. + +Lily and Ben felt miserable. They said they were sorry. They said they would not do it again. They said they loved their mommies too. + +They learned a lesson. They realized that hurricanes were not fun. They decided to play inside with their toys and books until the storm was over. They hoped the sun would come back soon. +Anna was a beautiful girl who liked to drive her red car. She drove very fast and had fun. One day, she saw a prince on a white horse. He was very handsome and had a big crown. He waved at her and smiled. + +"Hello, beautiful girl. Do you want to drive with me?" he asked. + +Anna was very happy and said yes. She parked her car and got on the horse with the prince. They drove away together. + +But the prince was not nice. He was mean and greedy. He wanted to take Anna's car and sell it for money. He also wanted to make Anna his servant and do all his work. + +When they got to his castle, he pushed Anna off the horse and locked her in a small room. He took her car keys and laughed. + +"Ha ha ha, you are so silly. I tricked you. Now I have your car and you have nothing. You will stay here forever and do what I say. Goodbye, beautiful girl." + +Anna was very sad and scared. She cried and cried. She wished she never met the prince. She wished she could drive her car again. She wished she could go home. But no one came to help her. She was alone and unhappy. The end. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to go down the slide, swing on the swings, and run on the grass. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, a stranger came to the park. He had a big bag and a funny hat. He smiled at Tim and Lily and said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want to see what I have in my bag?" + +Tim and Lily were curious. They liked to see new things. They ran to the stranger and said, "Yes, please. What do you have?" + +The stranger opened his bag and took out a small box. He said, "This is a magic box. It can make anything you wish. All you have to do is zip it open and say what you want." + +Tim and Lily were amazed. They wanted to try the magic box. Tim said, "I wish for a big truck." He zipped the box open and a big truck came out. He was very happy. He said, "Wow, this is perfect. Thank you, stranger." + +Lily said, "I wish for a pretty doll." She zipped the box open and a pretty doll came out. She was very happy. She said, "Wow, this is perfect. Thank you, stranger." + +The stranger smiled and said, "You're welcome, little ones. But remember, you can only use the magic box once. After that, it will stop working. So, choose wisely." + +Tim and Lily nodded. They thanked the stranger again and ran to their mom. They showed her their new toys and told her about the magic box. Their mom was surprised and said, "That's very nice of the stranger. But you should be careful, Tim and Lily. Not all strangers are nice. Some strangers are bad. You should never go with a stranger or take anything from a stranger without asking me first. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Lily understood. They said, "Yes, mom. We're sorry. We won't do it again." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "It's okay. I love you. Now, let's go home and play with your new toys." + +Tim and Lily smiled and said, "We love you too, mom. Let's go home." They held their mom's hand and walked to the car. They were happy and safe. +Tom was a big boy who liked to wear ties. He had many ties of different colors and shapes. He liked to show off his ties to his friends at school. He thought he was the best because of his ties. + +One day, he saw a new boy in his class. His name was Sam. Sam did not have a tie. He wore a plain shirt and pants. Tom laughed at Sam and said, "You look silly without a tie. You are not a big boy like me. You are a baby." + +Sam felt sad and angry. He did not have a tie because his family did not have much money. He wanted to be friends with Tom and the other kids, but they ignored him. He wished he had a tie. + +The next day, Tom wore his favorite tie. It was red and blue and had stars on it. He was very excited to show it to everyone. He walked to school with a big smile. But on the way, he met a big dog. The dog was hungry and saw Tom's tie. He thought it was a toy. He jumped on Tom and tried to grab his tie. Tom was scared and tried to run away. But the dog was faster and caught his tie. He pulled and pulled and ripped Tom's tie. He shook it in his mouth and ran away. + +Tom cried and cried. His tie was gone. His shirt was dirty. He looked silly. He did not want to go to school. He wanted to go home. But he had to go to school. He walked slowly and sadly. + +At school, he saw Sam. Sam saw Tom's shirt and his face. He felt sorry for Tom. He said, "Are you okay? What happened to your tie?" + +Tom did not answer. He was ashamed. He expected Sam to laugh at him and call him a baby. But Sam did not do that. He said, "Here, you can have my scarf. It is not a tie, but it is warm and soft. You can wear it around your neck. It will make you feel better." + +Tom was surprised. He looked at Sam's scarf. It was green and yellow and had stripes on it. It was not a tie, but it was nice. He said, "Thank you, Sam. You are very kind. Why are you giving me your scarf? You don't have a tie." + +Sam said, "I don't need a tie. I have a scarf. And I have a friend. You are my friend, Tom. You don't need a tie to be a big boy. You need a heart." + +Tom smiled. He felt warm and happy. He said, "You are right, Sam. You are my friend, too. I don't need a tie to be a big boy. I need a heart. And I have one. Thank you for showing me." + +They hugged and went to class. They sat together and played together. They shared their scarf and their stories. They learned that ties are not important, but friends are. They learned that being kind is better than being proud. They learned that having a heart is what makes a big boy. +Lily and Ben are playing with clay. They have many colors of clay. They want to make something fun. + +"Let's make a rocket!" Ben says. "We can go to space!" + +"OK!" Lily says. "How do we make a rocket?" + +"We need a big cone and a round base. And some fire!" Ben says. He takes some red and yellow clay and makes a fire. + +Lily takes some blue and green clay and makes a cone. She puts it on top of a white base. She thinks it looks good. + +"Look, Ben! I made a rocket!" Lily says. + +Ben looks at Lily's rocket. He does not like it. He thinks it is ugly. + +"That is not a rocket!" Ben says. "That is a silly hat! A rocket needs more colors!" + +Ben takes some purple and orange clay and mixes them. He makes a big ball. He puts it on top of Lily's cone. + +"See? This is a rocket!" Ben says. "It has more colors!" + +Lily looks at Ben's ball. She does not like it. She thinks it is ugly. + +"That is not a rocket!" Lily says. "That is a dirty ball! A rocket needs less colors!" + +Lily and Ben start to argue. They do not want to share their clay. They do not want to play together. + +Mom hears them and comes to see. She sees their rockets. She smiles. + +"Wow, what beautiful rockets!" Mom says. "You are very creative!" + +Lily and Ben stop arguing. They look at Mom. They look at each other. They feel confused. + +"Beautiful?" they say. + +"Yes, beautiful!" Mom says. "You can make anything you want with clay. There is no right or wrong way. You can use any colors you like. You can mix them or not. You can make them big or small. You can make them look like anything you imagine. That is the fun of clay!" + +Lily and Ben think about what Mom says. They look at their rockets again. They see them differently. They see their own ideas. They see their own colors. They see their own fun. + +They smile at each other. They decide to play together. They decide to make more rockets. They decide to go to space. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the garden and look for bugs. One day, they saw a big rabbit hopping near the fence. The rabbit had long ears and a fluffy tail. It looked friendly. + +"Hello, rabbit!" Ben said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The rabbit stopped and looked at them. It twitched its nose and nodded. Ben and Lily smiled and ran to the rabbit. They gave it some grass and flowers to eat. The rabbit liked them very much. + +"Can we pet you, rabbit?" Lily asked. + +The rabbit nodded again and let them touch its soft fur. Ben and Lily were very happy. They decided to name the rabbit Fluffy. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was Mr. Jones, the farmer. He was angry. He saw the rabbit eating his carrots. He had a big stick in his hand. He wanted to chase the rabbit away. + +"Hey, you! Get away from my carrots!" Mr. Jones shouted. "You are a bad rabbit! Go back to the woods!" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They did not want Mr. Jones to hurt Fluffy. They wanted to prevent him from hitting Fluffy with the stick. They ran to Fluffy and hugged him. + +"Please, Mr. Jones, don't be mean to Fluffy!" Ben said. "He is our friend! He is a good rabbit! He only ate a little carrot!" + +"Yeah, Mr. Jones, please let Fluffy stay with us!" Lily said. "We love him! He is very friendly!" + +Mr. Jones looked at Ben and Lily. He saw their sad faces and their big eyes. He felt sorry for them. He put down his stick and sighed. + +"Alright, alright, you can keep the rabbit," Mr. Jones said. "But only if you promise to take good care of him and not let him eat any more of my carrots. Deal?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and cheered. They thanked Mr. Jones and hugged Fluffy. Fluffy licked their faces and wagged his tail. He was happy too. He had found a new home and new friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They saw a big vase on the table. It was shiny and blue and had flowers in it. + +"Let's look at the vase," Lily said. "It is so pretty." + +"No, we can't," Ben said. "Mom said it is not for us. It is thin and can break." + +Lily did not listen. She wanted to touch the vase. She climbed on the chair and reached for it. Ben tried to stop her. + +"Lily, no!" Ben shouted. "You will make a mess!" + +But it was too late. Lily grabbed the vase and it slipped from her hand. It fell on the floor and broke into many pieces. The water and the flowers spilled everywhere. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They heard Mom coming. They did not know what to do. + +Mom saw the broken vase and the wet floor. She was angry and sad. She loved the vase. It was a gift from Grandma. + +"Who did this?" Mom asked. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not want to get in trouble. + +"I did it," Ben said. "I am sorry, Mom. I wanted to see the vase." + +Mom looked at Ben. She knew he was lying. She saw Lily's guilty face. + +"Ben, why are you lying?" Mom asked. "Lying is bad. You should tell the truth." + +Ben felt bad. He did not want to lie. He wanted to protect Lily. + +"Lily did it," Ben said. "But I tried to stop her. She did not listen to me." + +Mom looked at Lily. Lily started to cry. + +"I am sorry, Mom," Lily said. "I just wanted to touch the vase. It was so pretty." + +Mom sighed. She was still angry and sad, but she also felt sorry for Lily and Ben. + +"I know you did not mean to break the vase," Mom said. "But you should have listened to Ben. He was right. The vase was thin and not for you. You should be careful with things that are not yours." + +Mom hugged Lily and Ben. She was not happy, but she loved them. + +"Next time, I recommend you ask me before you touch anything," Mom said. "And you should always tell the truth. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said they were sorry again. They helped Mom clean up the mess. They learned their lesson. They did not touch the vase again. +Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they found a big box of masks in the attic. They were very happy and tried on different masks. Tim put on a lion mask and roared. Lily put on a princess mask and smiled. + +But there was one mask that was very scary. It was black and red and had horns and teeth. Tim wanted to try it on, but Lily was afraid. She said, "No, Tim, don't get that mask. It looks bad. Mommy and Daddy will be mad." + +Tim did not listen to Lily. He was not obedient. He said, "I don't care. I want to be scary. I want to scare you and Mommy and Daddy." He got the mask and put it on his face. He laughed and said, "Look at me, I'm a monster!" + +Lily cried and ran away. She went to find Mommy and Daddy. She told them what Tim did. Mommy and Daddy were worried. They went to the attic to get Tim and the mask. But when they got there, they saw something terrible. + +The mask was not a mask. It was a real monster. It had taken over Tim's body and mind. It growled and snarled and attacked Mommy and Daddy. They screamed and fell to the floor. Lily hid behind a chair and sobbed. + +The monster looked around and saw Lily. It smiled and said, "Hello, sister. Do you want to play with me?" It walked towards her, slowly and hungrily. Lily wished she had been more obedient and listened to Mommy and Daddy. She wished Tim had been more obedient and listened to her. She wished they had never found the mask. But it was too late. The end. +Sam and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat food. But Mom was busy in the kitchen. She said, "Wait a little bit. I am making soup for you." + +Sam and Lily did not want to wait. They were impatient. They saw a big bowl of cookies on the table. The cookies looked yummy. They smelled sweet. + +"Let's get some cookies," Sam whispered to Lily. "Mom will not see us." + +"Okay," Lily whispered back. "But be careful." + +Sam and Lily tiptoed to the table. They tried to reach the bowl of cookies. But the bowl was too high. They stretched their arms. They stood on their toes. They could not reach the bowl. + +"Help me, Lily," Sam said. "Push me up." + +Lily pushed Sam up. Sam reached the bowl. He grabbed a cookie. He smiled. He gave a cookie to Lily. They bit the cookies. They tasted good. + +But then they heard Mom's voice. She said, "Sam, Lily, what are you doing?" + +Sam and Lily dropped the cookies. They looked at Mom. Mom looked angry. She said, "You are not supposed to eat cookies before soup. That is naughty. Go to your room. No more cookies for you today." + +Sam and Lily felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were hungry. We wanted food." + +Mom said, "I know you were hungry. But you should have waited. Soup is good for you. Cookies are not. Now go to your room. And say sorry to each other. You made a mess on the floor." + +Sam and Lily said sorry to Mom. They said sorry to each other. They went to their room. They did not eat food. They did not eat cookies. They learned a lesson. They should be patient. +Anna and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food with the pots and pans. Anna wanted to make a cake, so she opened the cabinet and looked for the flour and sugar. Ben wanted to make soup, so he opened the fridge and looked for the carrots and cheese. + +"Anna, can you help me cut the cheese?" Ben asked. He had a big knife in his hand. + +"No, Ben, I'm busy. Go away," Anna said. She ignored Ben and poured the flour into a bowl. + +Ben felt sad and angry. He wanted to play with Anna, but she was not nice to him. He decided to make his soup by himself. He put the cheese and the carrots on the counter and started to cut them with the knife. + +Anna heard Ben chopping and looked at him. She saw the knife and felt fearful. She knew that knives were dangerous and only grown-ups could use them. She wanted to tell Ben to stop, but she was afraid he would be mad at her. + +"Ben, what are you doing?" she asked in a small voice. + +"I'm making soup, Anna. Why do you care?" Ben said. He ignored Anna and kept cutting. + +Anna felt sorry and scared. She wished she had helped Ben and played with him. She didn't want him to get hurt. She ran to the cabinet and grabbed a wooden spoon. She ran to Ben and tried to take the knife away from him. + +"Ben, give me the knife! It's not safe!" she shouted. + +"Anna, let go! It's my knife!" Ben shouted back. + +They pulled and pushed and fought over the knife. They didn't see the pot of water on the stove that was boiling and bubbling. They didn't hear the door open and their mom come in. + +"Anna! Ben! What are you doing?" their mom yelled. She saw the knife and the pot and the mess. She dropped her bags and ran to them. She took the knife away from them and turned off the stove. She hugged them and checked them for cuts and burns. + +"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" she asked. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They felt ashamed and sorry. They knew they had been bad and made their mom worry. + +"We're sorry, mom. We were playing and we fought and we didn't listen," they said. + +Their mom sighed and smiled. She was glad they were okay. She knew they were just kids and they made mistakes. + +"It's okay, sweeties. I'm not mad. I'm just happy you're safe. But you have to be careful and follow the rules. Knives are not for playing. And you have to share and be kind to each other. Do you understand?" she said. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They understood. They hugged their mom and said they loved her. They said they loved each other too. They helped their mom clean up the kitchen and then they ate some cookies. They learned their lesson and they never ignored each other again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a toy gun and some onions. They pretended to be cowboys and robbers. + +"Bang, bang, I shoot you, robber!" Tom said, pointing the toy gun at Lily. + +"No, you miss, cowboy!" Lily said, dodging behind a tree. She threw an onion at Tom. + +"Ow, that hurts!" Tom said, rubbing his head. "Why do you throw onions? They are boring and smelly!" + +"Because they are fun and make you cry!" Lily said, laughing. She threw another onion at Tom. + +Tom was angry. He ran after Lily with the toy gun. He wanted to shoot her back. + +"Stop, stop, I give up, cowboy!" Lily said, seeing Tom coming. She dropped the onions and put her hands up. + +"Too late, robber!" Tom said, shooting the toy gun. "Bang, bang, you are dead!" + +Lily fell to the ground and pretended to be dead. She closed her eyes and stuck her tongue out. + +Tom smiled. He had won the game. He went to Lily and poked her. + +"Are you really dead, robber?" he asked. + +Lily opened one eye and winked at Tom. + +"No, I am not dead, cowboy," she said. "I am just joking. You are a good shooter." + +Tom and Lily hugged and laughed. They decided to play something else. They left the toy gun and the onions in the garden. They were happy. +Lily and Max were twins. They had a birthday today. They were three years old. They wanted to celebrate with their friends. + +They put on their sunglasses and hats. They looked cool and happy. They went to the park with their mom and dad. They saw a big cake with candles. It was sweet and yummy. They saw balloons and toys. They were colorful and fun. + +They saw their friends. They said hello and hugged. They played games and sang songs. They laughed and smiled. They blew the candles and made wishes. They ate the cake and shared the toys. They thanked their mom and dad. + +They had a great birthday. They celebrated with their friends. They were happy and loved. They said goodbye and hugged. They went home with their sunglasses and hats. They looked cool and tired. They slept and dreamed. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. It is not friendly. It barks and growls and chases the children. Anna and Ben are scared. They run away from the dog. But the dog is faster. It catches Ben and bites his leg. Ben cries out in pain. + +Anna sees her friend in trouble. She is brave. She picks up a stick and runs to the dog. She hits the dog with the stick. The dog lets go of Ben and runs away. Anna kneels next to Ben and hugs him. She says, "Don't worry, Ben. I am here. You are my friend. I will help you." + +Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Anna. You are my friend too. You are dependable. You saved me from the dog." + +Anna and Ben walk to the bench. They sit and wait for their moms. They hold hands and look at the sky. They see their kite flying high. They are happy. They are friends. +Lila and Anna are sisters. They like to play dress-up with their mom's clothes. One day, they find a big box of skirts in the closet. They want to try them all on. + +"Let's organize the skirts by color," Lila says. "Then we can choose our favorite ones." + +"OK," Anna agrees. They take out the skirts and put them in piles. Red, blue, green, yellow, pink, purple. They have a lot of fun. + +Lila sees a black skirt with white dots. She likes it a lot. She puts it on and twirls around. + +"Look, Anna, I'm a ladybug!" she says. + +Anna laughs. She sees a brown skirt with flowers. She likes it too. She puts it on and pretends to be a gardener. + +"Look, Lila, I'm planting roses!" she says. + +They play together for a while. Then they hear their mom calling them. + +"Girls, it's time for lunch. Come downstairs, please." + +They run to the door. But they forget to take off the skirts. + +Their mom sees them and smiles. She hugs them and says, "You look very pretty, my darlings. But those are not your skirts. Those are mine." + +She takes them off and puts them back in the box. She gives them each a sandwich and a glass of juice. + +They eat their lunch. But the juice is bitter. They make a face and say, "Yuck!" + +Their mom says, "Sorry, girls. I ran out of sugar. Do you want some water instead?" + +They nod and drink some water. They feel better. + +They say, "Thank you, mom. We love you." + +They hug their mom and say, "We love your skirts too. Can we play with them again?" + +Their mom says, "Maybe later. But first, you have to organize your toys. They are all over the floor." + +They say, "OK, mom. We will organize our toys. We are good at organizing." + +They go upstairs and organize their toys. They are happy. They love to play and organize. +Tim is a nosy boy. He likes to look at everything and ask many questions. One day, he finds a big book in his dad's room. The book has many pictures of tiny things that Tim cannot see. The book says they are cells. + +Tim wants to know more about cells. He sees a picture of a cell that looks like a ball with many spikes. The book says it is a virus. Tim thinks it looks like a candy. He wonders how it tastes. + +Tim has an idea. He goes to the kitchen and gets a toothpick. He pokes a hole in the book and takes out a small piece of the virus picture. He puts it in his mouth and bites it. + +Tim makes a face. The virus picture does not taste like candy. It tastes like paper and ink and dirt. It is yucky. Tim spits it out and runs to the sink. He drinks some water and brushes his teeth. + +Tim learns a lesson. He should not be so nosy and taste things that he does not know. He should ask his dad or mom first. He puts the book back in his dad's room and says sorry. He hopes his dad will not be mad. He hopes he will not get sick from the virus picture. He hopes he will find something else to look at and learn. +One day, Ben and Lily wanted to play with soap. They found a big bar of soap in the bathroom and took it to their room. They thought it would be fun to make shapes with the soap. + +"Look, I made a star!" Lily said, showing Ben her soap star. + +"That's nice, but I can make a better shape," Ben said. He tried to make a car with the soap, but it was too hard. He had an idea. He put the soap in the microwave and turned it on. + +"What are you doing?" Lily asked. + +"I'm making the soap soft, so I can make a car," Ben said. + +But the soap did not get soft. It got very hot and bubbly. It started to melt and make a mess in the microwave. The microwave made a loud noise and smoke came out. + +"Uh-oh," Ben said. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the melted soap and the smoke and was very angry. + +"Ben, Lily, what did you do?" Mom asked. + +"We wanted to play with soap," Lily said. + +"That was very foolish," Mom said. "You could have hurt yourself or broken the microwave. Soap is not a toy. It is for washing. You need to clean up this mess and say sorry." + +Ben and Lily felt bad. They said sorry to Mom and helped her clean up the melted soap. They learned their lesson and never played with soap again. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They want to see what is inside. + +They open the box and see many things. They see books, clothes, shoes, and a doll. Lily likes the doll. She takes it out of the box. Ben likes the shoes. He takes them out of the box. + +But there is only one pair of shoes. Ben wants to wear them. He tries to take them from Lily. Lily does not want to give them. She holds the doll and the shoes. They pull and tug. They yell and cry. + +The shoes are too big for them. They slip and fall. They hit the floor. They hit the box. They hit each other. Their body hurts. Their head hurts. Their arm hurts. Their leg hurts. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the garage. She sees the mess. She sees the twins. She is angry. She is sad. She helps them up. She hugs them. She says, "You should not fight. You should share. You should be kind. You should store the things back in the box. They are not yours. They are for charity. They are for other kids who need them." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We will store the things back in the box. We will be good. We will not fight. We will share. We will be kind." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. I love you. Now, let's go inside. I have some cookies and milk for you. They will make you feel better." + +Lily and Ben smile. They say, "We love you, Mom. Thank you. Cookies and milk sound good. They will make us feel better." They hold Mom's hand. They go inside. They eat the cookies and drink the milk. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Lily are going to the park with Mom. They are very happy. They want to play on the swings and the slide. But first, they have to prepare. Mom says they need to wear shoes and coats. + +Tom runs to his room and finds his shoes. They are blue and shiny. He likes them. He puts them on his feet and ties the laces. He is very proud. He says, "Look, Mom, I can do it by myself!" + +Lily goes to her room and looks for her shoes. She sees a pair of old shoes in the corner. They are pink and dirty. They have holes and tears. She does not like them. She says, "No, Mom, I don't want these shoes. They are old and ugly. I want new shoes!" + +Mom comes to Lily's room and sees the old shoes. She says, "Lily, these are not your shoes. These are your sister's shoes. She gave them to you when she outgrew them. But you don't have to wear them. You have your own shoes. They are in the closet. They are purple and sparkly. You love them. Remember?" + +Lily remembers. She runs to the closet and finds her shoes. They are purple and sparkly. She loves them. She puts them on her feet and asks Mom to help her with the buckles. She says, "Thank you, Mom. These are my shoes. They are pretty and new. I am ready to go to the park!" + +Mom smiles and hugs Tom and Lily. She says, "You are both ready to go to the park. You have your shoes and coats. You are prepared.

She gave him toys, sang to him, and read him books. + +One day, Mom and Dad were very busy. They had to do a lot of work. They asked Sara to watch Ben for a little while. Sara said yes. She was a good big sister. She took Ben to her room. She showed him her dolls, her cars, and her puzzles. She played with him and made him laugh. + +But Ben was tired. He started to cry. He wanted Mom and Dad. Sara did not know what to do. She tried to hug him, but he still cried. She tried to give him a bottle, but he did not want it. She tried to sing to him, but he did not listen. She felt sad and scared. + +Then she remembered what Mom and Dad always did when Ben cried. They kissed him. They kissed him on his forehead, his cheeks, his nose, and his chin. They kissed him softly and gently. They said, "We love you, Ben. You are our sweet baby." + +Sara decided to try that. She kissed Ben on his forehead, his cheeks, his nose, and his chin.

He made a happy sound. He kissed her back. + +Sara felt happy and proud. She had made Ben feel better. She had been a good big sister. She hugged him and said, "You are the best baby ever. I am so glad you are my brother." + +Mom and Dad came back. They saw Sara and Ben cuddling on the bed. They smiled. They were so proud of Sara. They said, "You are such a good big sister, Sara. You are so kind and helpful. We love you and Ben very much." + +They joined Sara and Ben on the bed. They hugged them and kissed them. They said, "We are a happy family. We are lucky to have each other." +Lila and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has a cage. Inside the cage, there is a leopard. + +"Wow, look at that!" Sam says. "A leopard! It has spots and sharp teeth." + +Lila is scared. She does not like the leopard. She thinks it is mean and scary. She holds Sam's hand. "Let's go away," she says. "The leopard can hurt us." + +But Sam is curious. He wants to see the leopard better. He lets go of Lila's hand. He walks to the truck. He is careful. He does not touch the cage. He just looks at the leopard. + +The leopard looks at Sam. It is not mean and scary. It is sad and lonely. It does not like the cage. It wants to be free. It wants to run and play. It sees Sam's face. It sees that Sam is curious and kind. It smiles at Sam. + +Sam smiles back. He feels sorry for the leopard. He wishes he could help it. He says, "Hello, leopard. You are beautiful. I am Sam. What is your name?" + +Lila sees Sam and the leopard smile. She is not scared anymore. She walks to the truck. She is careful. She joins Sam. She says, "Hello, leopard. I am Lila. You have a nice smile." + +The leopard smiles more. It is happy to have friends. It says, "Hello, Sam. Hello, Lila. I am Leo. Thank you for being nice to me." +Sara was sick. She had a red nose and a sore throat. She did not want to play or eat. She only wanted to sleep. Her mom gave her some medicine, but Sara did not like it. It was bitter and made her face scrunch up. + +Mom said, "You have to take your medicine, Sara. It will make you feel better. If you take it all, I will serve you a special treat." + +Sara wondered what the treat was. She hoped it was something sweet and yummy. She decided to be brave and take her medicine. She swallowed it quickly and made a funny noise. Mom smiled and hugged her. + +Mom said, "Good girl, Sara. You did it. Now, do you want to know what your treat is?" + +Sara nodded. She was curious and excited. + +Mom said, "Your treat is a long story. I will read you your favorite book, the one with the princess and the dragon. Do you like that?" + +Sara smiled. She loved that book. She said, "Yes, Mom. I like that. Thank you." + +Mom said, "You're welcome, Sara. Come on, let's go to your bed. I will serve you the story and tuck you in." + +Sara followed Mom to her bed. She snuggled under the covers and listened to Mom's voice. She felt warm and cozy. She forgot about her red nose and sore throat. She enjoyed the story and the treat. She fell asleep with a happy dream. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a pipe on the ground. It was shiny and long. + +"Look, a pipe!" Tom said. "Let's play with it." + +"OK," Sam said. "But we have to return it later. Maybe someone needs it." + +They took the pipe and ran to the slide. They pretended it was a sword, a rocket, a snake. They had fun. + +But then, a man came. He was angry and big. He had a sour face. + +"Hey, you two! Give me back my pipe!" he shouted. "That's not a toy. That's my pipe for smoking." + +Tom and Sam were scared. They dropped the pipe and tried to run away. But the man was faster. He grabbed them by their shirts. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom and Sam cried. "Let us go! We're sorry!" + +The man did not let them go. He dragged them to his car. He threw them in the back seat. He locked the doors. + +"You're coming with me," he said. "You'll pay for stealing my pipe." + +Tom and Sam looked at each other. They were very sad. They wished they had never seen the pipe. They wished they had returned it. They wished they were home. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a favorite tree with a big branch that they could sit on and pretend to be birds. One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a shiny bike and a red hat. He looked very cool. + +"Who is that?" Lily asked Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe he wants to play with us," Tom said. + +They ran over to the new boy and said hello. He smiled and told them his name was Max. He said he liked their tree and asked if he could sit on the branch with them. + +"Sure, you can sit with us," Tom said. "But you have to promise to be nice and share." + +"OK, I promise," Max said. + +They climbed up the tree and sat on the branch. They talked and laughed and had fun. Lily liked Max. He was funny and kind. But Tom felt jealous. He felt like Max was taking his friend away from him. He wanted Lily to play with him, not Max. + +"Hey, Lily, let's go play on the swings," Tom said. + +"But I want to stay here with Max," Lily said. + +"Please, Lily, come with me. I'm your friend, not him," Tom said. + +"But he's my friend too. He promised to be nice and share," Lily said. + +Tom got angry and said, "Fine, then. Stay with him. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +He jumped off the branch and ran away. Lily felt sad and confused. She didn't want to hurt Tom's feelings, but she also liked Max. She didn't know what to do. She looked at Max and said, "I'm sorry. I have to go find Tom. He's my friend and I don't want him to be mad at me." + +Max nodded and said, "I understand. I'm sorry too. I hope you can be friends again." + +Lily climbed down the tree and ran after Tom. She hoped she could make him happy and not jealous. She hoped they could all play together and be friends. She hoped Tom would forgive her and keep his promise. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tent with many people inside. They heard loud noises and bright colors. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go!" Sam said. He ran to the tent and tried to open the flap. But it was too high for him. He could not reach it. + +"Wait, Sam, maybe we should not go. It might be scary," Lily said. She was afraid of the noises and colors. She stayed behind Sam. + +But Sam was curious. He saw a big box near the tent. He climbed on the box and reached the flap. He opened it and peeked inside. + +He saw many musicians playing different instruments. They were making the loud noises. He saw a man with a guitar, a woman with a flute, a boy with a drum, and a girl with a violin. They were playing a fierce song. It made Sam feel excited and happy. + +"Wow, look, Lily, they are musicians! They are making music!" Sam said. He wanted to join them. He waved at them and smiled. + +The musicians saw Sam and smiled back. They liked his enthusiasm. They invited him to come inside.

Ben says. + +They wait and wait. They are bored. They look around. They see a log. The log is long and thin. It is on the ground. + +"Look! A log!" Ben says. + +"What can we do with a log?" Lily asks. + +"We can balance on the log!" Ben says. + +He runs to the log. He puts one foot on the log. He tries to stand on the log. He wobbles. He falls off the log. + +"Ouch!"

He thought Lily was not a nice friend. + +Ben waited until Lily was not looking. Then he grabbed the engine and ran away. He hid behind the sofa and smiled. He thought he was clever and he had the best toy. But he did not see the cat that was sleeping on the sofa. + +The cat woke up and saw the engine. It looked shiny and fun. The cat jumped down and pounced on the engine. It bit it and scratched it and made it break. Ben heard the noise and looked out. He saw the cat and the broken engine. He was shocked and scared. + +Lily heard the noise too. She saw Ben and the cat and the broken engine. She was very angry and sad. She cried and yelled at Ben.

Mia cried. "Tom, save me!" + +Tom was scared, but he loved Mia. He swam as fast as he could and bit the net with his teeth. He made a small hole and pulled Mia out.

What are you doing?" Lily and Max stop fighting and look at the man. He is wearing a suit and a tie. He says, "I am the owner of the box. I work at the opera. I brought these costumes and hats and masks for you to play with. But you have to be polite and share. Do you know what share means?" + +Lily and Max nod. They know what share means. It means to give some to others and not keep all for yourself. The man says, "Good. Then why don't you take turns with the mask? You can each wear it for a little while and then give it to the other. That way, you can both enjoy it and be friends." Lily and Max agree. They say, "Okay. We will share the mask. Thank you, sir." The man smiles and says, "You're welcome. Have fun, children.

She did not want to let it go. She asked, "Can I play with it for a little bit more?" + +Mom said, "Okay, but only for a little bit. Then you have to say goodbye." + +Lily took Buzz to her room. She opened the jar and let him fly around. She watched him land on her toys and books. She giggled when he tickled her nose. She said, "You are a good fly, Buzz. You make me happy." + +But then she heard a loud meow. She turned and saw her cat, Fluffy, on the bed. Fluffy saw Buzz too. He jumped and tried to catch him. Lily screamed, "No, Fluffy! Leave Buzz alone!" + +She ran and grabbed Fluffy. She put him outside the door. She closed it. She looked for Buzz. She saw him on the window. He was not moving. She was scared. She said, "Buzz, are you okay?" + +She went to the window and picked him up. He was still alive. He moved his wings. He flew out of her hand. He flew to her ear. He buzzed, "Thank you, Lily.

She says, "Next time, please ask me before you use something that is not yours. And don't play with tape on the carpet. It is not funny, it is sticky and hard to remove."

They load their trucks with blocks again. But this time, they don't race. They work together. They build a big castle. They have fun. They are not competitive anymore. They are friends. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big display of balloons and toys. They run to the display and look at all the colors and shapes. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily says, pointing to a pink balloon with a smiley face. "Can I have it, please?" + +Ben nods and picks up the balloon. He tries to pull it off the string, but it is tied very tight. He pulls harder and harder, but the balloon does not come off. + +"Help me, Lily!" Ben says, tugging at the balloon. + +Lily tries to help Ben, but she sees a man coming. The man is wearing a dirty rag on his head and a big coat. He looks angry and mean. He is holding a knife in his hand. + +"Hey, you kids! Get away from my display!" the man shouts, waving the knife. "This is mine, all mine!" + +Lily and Ben are very scared. They drop the balloon and run away. They are very alert and look for a safe place to hide. They see a bench with a lady and a dog. They run to the bench and sit next to the lady. + +"Excuse us, ma'am," Lily says, panting. "Can we stay with you for a while? There is a bad man with a knife over there. He wants to hurt us." + +The lady looks at the man and sees the knife. She is shocked and angry. She picks up her phone and calls the police. + +"Don't worry, children," the lady says, hugging Lily and Ben. "You are safe with me. The police will come soon and catch the bad man. You are very brave and smart to run away from him." + +Lily and Ben smile and thank the lady. They pet the dog and feel better. They hope the police will come soon and take the bad man away.

They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" said Lila. + +"Maybe it has toys or candy!" said Ben. + +They ran to the sack and pulled the string. The sack opened. But there were no toys or candy. There were only snakes. Lots of snakes. They were angry and hungry. They hissed and slithered out of the sack. + +"Ah! Snakes!" screamed Lila. + +"Run!" shouted Ben. + +But it was too late. The snakes were faster. They bit Lila and Ben. They hurt them. They made them sick. Lila and Ben fell to the ground. They cried and closed their eyes. + +The snakes were happy. They had a unique meal. They ate Lila and Ben. They went back to the sack. They waited for more children to come. +Lily and Tom were bored.

"But we need eggs and flour and sugar and butter." + +They looked around the kitchen and found some eggs and flour and sugar and butter. They did not know how much to use. They just put some of everything in the cake pan. They did not mix it well. They put the cake pan in the oven. They did not know how long to bake it. They just waited. + +They smelled something bad. They saw smoke coming out of the oven. They opened the oven and saw a black and hard and burnt cake. It looked very bad. It smelled very bad. + +"Uh-oh," Lily said. "We made a bad cake." + +"Mommy will be mad," Tom said. + +They heard Mommy coming home. They tried to hide the cake and the mess. But it was too late. Mommy saw the smoke and the cake and the mess. She was very mad. + +"What did you do?" Mommy asked. "You could have started a fire! You could have hurt yourself! You did not ask me! You did not follow the recipe! You made a big mess!" + +Lily and Tom felt very bad. They said they were sorry. They said they wanted to bake a cake. They said they found the cake pan in the chest. + +Mommy looked at the chest. She saw the book, the hat, the doll, and the cake pan. She recognized them. They were her grandma's things. They were very old and special. They were not ordinary. + +Mommy was very sad. She said they ruined her grandma's things. She said they did not respect her things. She said they had to clean up the mess. She said they had to go to their room. She said they had no cake. + +Lily and Tom cried. They wished they had not opened the chest. They wished they had not baked the cake. They wished they had done something else. They wished they had a good ending. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. Ben has a new toy. It is a big truck with four wheels. Mia has a doll with a dress. + +"Look at my truck!" Ben says to Mia. "It can go fast and make noise. Do you want to see?" + +"Yes, please!" Mia says. She likes trucks too. She goes to Ben's side and watches him push the truck on the floor. The truck makes a vroom-vroom sound. + +"Can I try?" Mia asks. + +"OK, but be careful. It is my new toy." Ben says. He gives the truck to Mia. Mia holds the truck and turns the wheels with her hands. She smiles. + +"This is fun!" Mia says. "Thank you for showing me your truck, Ben." + +"You're welcome, Mia." Ben says.

He spits out the juice. "It tastes bad!" + +They look at the cups. They see a picture of a lemon on them. + +"Oh, no!" Ben says. "We took the wrong juice. This is lemon juice. It is not for drinking. It is for cooking." + +They put down the cups and look for another juice. They see a picture of an apple on some cups. + +"Let's try this one!" Mia says. She takes an apple juice cup and gives one to Ben. + +They sip the apple juice. It is sweet and good. + +"Ah, this is better!" Ben says. He smiles. + +"Much better!" Mia says.

Tom says, "It is when someone rubs your back with their hands. It makes you feel better." + +Mia wants to help Tom. She says, "I can give you a massage. Come here and lie down on the floor." Tom does what Mia says and lies down on his tummy. Mia puts her hands on his back and starts to rub. She says, "Is this a massage?" Tom says, "Yes, it is. But you have to do it gently. Not too hard. Not too soft. Just right." + +Mia tries to do it just right. She rubs Tom's back up and down, left and right, in circles and zigzags. She says, "How do you feel now?" Tom says, "I feel much better.

They enjoy the violin. +Lila and Ben were lost in the big sand. They were very thirsty and tired. They wanted to find water and shade. They saw a green spot far away. Maybe it was an oasis.

They like to play outside with their ball. One day, they see a big puddle on the road. It looks like fun. + +"Let's step in the puddle!" Ben says. + +"No, Ben, we should not do that.

Come on, Anna, don't be scared." Ben says. + +He steps in the puddle and splashes water everywhere. He laughs and says, "See, Anna, it is fun!" + +Anna shakes her head and says, "No, Ben, it is not fun. It is dirty and wet. You will get sick and miss the test. You will be sad and sorry." + +She walks away and goes back to their ball. She hopes Ben will come too. + +But Ben does not listen. He steps in the puddle again and again. He does not see the car coming. The car honks and brakes. Ben is scared and jumps. He falls on the ground and hurts his knee. He cries and says, "Ow, ow, ow!" + +Anna hears him and runs to him. She sees his knee bleeding and his clothes wet and muddy. She feels sorry for him and says, "Oh, Ben, are you okay? I told you not to step in the puddle. You were not smart and good.

You are sick and sorry. You have to stay in bed and rest. You have to learn your lesson." + +She cleans his knee and puts a bandage on it. She gives him some medicine and a hug. She says, "I love you, Ben, but you have to listen to me and Anna. We want you to be happy and safe. We want you to be smart and good. We want you to be healthy and pass the test." + +Ben nods and says, "I love you, Mom, and I love you, Anna. I am sorry I did not listen to you. I was silly and bad.

She said that she did not have any friends anymore. + +Her mom wiped her tears and said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I know how you feel. Sometimes friends have fights, but that does not mean they stop being friends. Maybe Lily was having a bad day, or maybe she did not mean what she said. Maybe you can talk to her and say sorry, and she will say sorry too. Friends can forgive each other and make up." + +Sara thought about what her mom said. She felt a little better. She said, "Maybe you are right, mom. Maybe Lily and I can be friends again. I don't like being sad. I like being happy." + +Her mom smiled and said, "That's good, Sara. I'm proud of you.

They waved it at the window. They made the teddy bear say, "Go away, dragon! You cannot hurt the queen and the knight!" + +The dragon was really a big bird. It flew away when it saw the teddy bear. Tom and Sara cheered. They hugged the teddy bear. They were happy and safe. They went back to the wardrobe and changed their clothes. They put the teddy bear on the bed. They thanked it for saving them. They kissed it goodnight. They turned off the light and went to sleep. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, their mom tells them to behave. She has a new blouse and she wants to wear it to a party. + +"Please, don't make a mess or tear my blouse," mom says. "I will be back soon. Be good and have fun." + +Lily and Ben nod and smile. They say they will behave. Mom kisses them and leaves. Lily and Ben look at each other. They have an idea. + +"Let's play dress up!" Lily says. "We can wear mom's clothes and shoes and hats." + +"OK!" Ben says. "That sounds fun." + +They run to mom's closet and take out her clothes. They try on different outfits and laugh. Lily puts on mom's new blouse. It is pink and shiny and has buttons. She feels happy. + +"Look at me!" Lily says. "I am so pretty in mom's blouse." + +Ben looks at her. He likes the blouse too. He wants to try it on. + +"Let me wear it!" Ben says. "It is my turn." + +"No!" Lily says. "It is mine. I saw it first." + +They start to pull and tug on the blouse. They hear a rip. The blouse is torn. They gasp. They are scared. + +"Oh no!" Lily says. "We broke mom's blouse. She will be mad at us." + +"What do we do?" Ben says. "We did not behave. We made a mess." + +They look around. They see mom's sewing kit. They have an idea. + +"Let's fix it!" Lily says. "We can sew it back together." + +"OK!" Ben says. "That sounds smart." + +They take the sewing kit and the blouse. They try to sew the rip. They poke themselves with the needle. They make knots and holes. The blouse looks worse. + +"Look at it!" Lily says. "We did not fix it. We made it ugly." + +Ben looks at it. He feels sad. + +"We are sorry, mom," Ben says. "We did not mean to ruin your blouse." + +They hear the door. Mom is back. They hide the blouse and the sewing kit. They hope mom will not see them. They hope mom will still love them. They are not happy. +Lila and Tom are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They like to make noise with their cars, like vroom, beep, and honk. They fill the floor with their cars and pretend they are driving in a big city. + +But then they hear a loud noise outside. It is not a car noise, it is a scary noise. It sounds like a big dog barking and growling. Lila and Tom stop playing and look at each other. They are afraid of the big dog noise. + +"Mommy, what is that noise?" Lila asks, holding her car close to her chest. + +Mommy comes from the kitchen and hears the noise too. She looks out the window and sees a big dog running in the street. The dog is not happy, it is angry. It is chasing a cat and barking loudly. + +"Don't worry, my loves, it is just a dog. It can't hurt you. You are safe inside the house," Mommy says, hugging Lila and Tom. + +"Can we go outside and play?" Tom asks, looking at the dog. + +"No, not right now. The dog might be dangerous. We have to wait until it goes away. Why don't we play something else in the living room? We can fill a box with your toys and make a castle," Mommy suggests, smiling. + +Lila and Tom nod and follow Mommy to the living room. They find a big box and fill it with their toys. They make a castle with the box and pretend they are the king and the queen. They forget about the big dog noise and have fun. They feel safe and happy with Mommy. +Ben and Lily went to the post office with their mom. They wanted to send a letter to their grandma, who lived far away. Mom gave them each a stamp to put on the envelope. Ben and Lily liked the stamps. They had pictures of animals on them. + +"Look, I have a lion!" Ben said, showing his stamp to Lily. + +"I have a panda!" Lily said, showing her stamp to Ben. + +They observed the stamps carefully. They saw the fur, the eyes, the ears, and the tails of the animals. They wondered what the animals sounded like and what they ate. + +"Can we stick the stamps now?" Ben asked mom. He was impatient. He wanted to send the letter quickly. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to wait in line," mom said, pointing to the people in front of them. + +Ben and Lily sighed. They did not like waiting. They looked around the post office. They saw many letters, boxes, and machines. They heard the noise of the stamps being printed and the people talking. + +"Mom, what are those?" Lily asked, pointing to a pile of magazines. + +"Those are magazines. They have stories and pictures inside. Some people like to read them," mom explained. + +"Can we read them?" Ben asked. + +"No, honey. They are not for us. They are for the people who ordered them," mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They understood. They went back to observing their stamps. They hoped grandma would like their letter. They hoped the line would move faster. They hoped to see the animals on their stamps someday. +Lily and Anna were sisters who liked to play dress-up. They had many pretty clothes and jewels that their mom gave them. One day, they found a big crown in a box. It was shiny and had many stones. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. "It must be a queen's crown. Let's pretend we are queens and rule the kingdom." + +"OK, but I want to be the queen first," Anna said. "You can be my servant and do what I say." + +"No, I want to be the queen first," Lily said. "You are younger and smaller. You have to listen to me." + +They started to fight over the crown. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see their mom coming into the room. She was elderly and had a cane. She was very angry when she saw them. + +"Stop that right now!" she said. "That crown is not yours. It belongs to your great-grandma. She was a real queen in a faraway land. She gave it to me before she died. She told me to keep it safe and pass it on to you when you grow up. But you are not ready to have it. You are not acting like queens. You are acting like brats." + +She took the crown from them and put it back in the box. She locked the box and hid the key. She told them to go to their room and think about what they did. She said they would not see the crown again until they learned to share and be kind. + +Lily and Anna felt very sad and sorry. They had lost the chance to play with the crown. They had also made their mom mad and hurt their great-grandma's memory. They wished they had not fought over the crown. They wished they had been nice to each other. But it was too late. They had gained nothing but trouble. +Sara loved to bake with her mom. They would mix flour, sugar, eggs and butter in a big bowl. Then they would roll out the dough and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Sara liked to make stars, hearts and flowers. Mom liked to make circles and squares. + +One day, Sara's friend Ben came over to play. He brought his scooter with him. Sara wanted to show him her cookies, but Ben wanted to ride his scooter outside. He said, "Come on, Sara, let's go. Scooters are more fun than cookies." + +Sara felt sad. She liked her cookies and she liked her mom. She did not want to leave them. She said, "No, Ben, I want to stay here. Cookies are more fun than scooters." + +Ben got angry. He said, "Fine, then I will go by myself. You are a boring friend." He grabbed his scooter and ran out the door. + +Sara's mom saw what happened. She hugged Sara and said, "Don't worry, Sara. You are a good friend and a good helper. You are very obedient and kind. I am proud of you." + +Sara smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you and I love our cookies. Can we share them with Ben later?" + +Mom nodded. She said, "Of course we can. Maybe he will change his mind and say sorry. And maybe he will like our cookies too." + +Sara and her mom finished baking and put the cookies in a tin. Then they waited for Ben to come back. Sara hoped he would be nice and happy. She hoped he would like her cookies and her scooter. She hoped they could be friends again. +Tom and Lily have a club. They meet in the tree house every day. They have a secret code and a special handshake. They like to play games and tell jokes. + +One day, they find a big bag of candy in the tree house. They are very happy. They think someone left it for them as a gift. They open the bag and see many colors and shapes. They each take a handful and put them in their mouths. + +"Yuck!" Tom says. "This candy is sour!" + +Lily spits out her candy. "Me too! It's so bad!" + +They look at the bag and see a note. It says: "This is not candy. This is medicine. Do not eat. From, Mom." + +Tom and Lily feel silly. They remember that Mom said she was going to the doctor yesterday. She must have brought the medicine for her sore throat and forgot it in the tree house. + +They laugh and hug. They decide to share the candy with their friends. Maybe they will like the sour taste. They think it will be a funny joke. They are still the best club in the world. +Sara was a girl who liked to do different things. She liked to wear different clothes, play different games, and read different books. She did not care what other people said about her. She was happy to be herself. + +But some of the other kids did not like Sara. They said she was weird and strange. They did not want to play with her or be her friend. They laughed at her and made fun of her. They made Sara feel sad and alone. + +One day, Sara was sitting on a bench in the park, reading a book. She saw a group of kids playing nearby. They looked happy and fun. Sara wished she could join them. She sighed and put down her book. + +"Hi, what are you reading?" a voice asked. Sara looked up and saw a boy standing in front of her. He had a friendly smile and a curious look. + +"It's a book about dinosaurs," Sara said. "I like dinosaurs. They are big and strong and different." + +"That's cool," the boy said. "I like dinosaurs too. Can I see your book?" + +Sara nodded and handed him the book. The boy looked at the pictures and read some of the words. He asked Sara questions and Sara answered them. They talked and laughed and learned. + +The other kids saw them and came over. They saw the book and the boy and Sara. They were surprised and confused. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" one of them asked. "Why are you talking to her? She's weird and strange. She's different." + +The boy looked at them and shrugged. "So what? She's also nice and smart and fun. She's different, but she's also the same. She's a kid, like us. She likes to play and read and learn, like us. She has feelings and dreams and hopes, like us. She's not weird or strange. She's just Sara." + +The other kids were silent. They did not know what to say. They looked at Sara and the boy and the book. They felt ashamed and sorry. + +Sara smiled and thanked the boy. She felt happy and grateful. She had found a friend. + +The moral of the story is: Don't judge people by their appearance or preferences. Respect and appreciate their differences. Be kind and open-minded. You might find a friend. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They have a big bookcase. The bookcase is brown. + +One day, Mom says, "Ben and Lily, it is time to wash your hands and face. Lunch is ready." Ben and Lily say, "Okay, Mom." They run to the bathroom. They turn on the tap. They wash their hands and face. They dry them with a towel. + +They go back to their room. They see something on the bookcase. It is not a book. It is not a toy. It is a big, red stain. "Oh no!" Ben says. "What is that?" Lily says. They look at each other. They remember. They were painting with red paint. They spilled some on the bookcase. They forgot to clean it. + +They hear Mom coming. They are scared. They do not want Mom to be angry. They do not want Mom to take away their paint. They think fast. They grab a cloth. They wet it with water. They try to wash the stain. But it does not go away. It only gets bigger and wetter. + +Mom opens the door. She sees Ben and Lily. She sees the bookcase. She sees the stain. She says, "Ben and Lily, what have you done?" Ben and Lily say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were painting. We spilled some paint. We tried to wash it. But it did not work." Mom says, "Oh, Ben and Lily. You should have told me. Paint is hard to wash. You need soap and warm water. And you need to be careful. Paint can ruin things. Like your bookcase. And your books. And your clothes." + +Mom is not angry. She is sad. She hugs Ben and Lily. She says, "I love you, Ben and Lily. But you need to learn. You need to be responsible. You need to clean up your mess. And you need to ask for help when you need it. Do you understand?" Ben and Lily say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We are sorry. We love you too." Mom says, "Okay. Let's go to the kitchen. We can have lunch. And then we can try to fix your bookcase. Together." Ben and Lily say, "Okay, Mom. Thank you, Mom." They hold Mom's hand. They go to the kitchen. They hope the stain will go away. They hope the bookcase will be okay. They hope Mom will let them paint again. Someday. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they fight over them. One day, Sara has a big puzzle. She wants to make it by herself. Ben wants to help her. He asks for a piece of the puzzle. + +"Please, Sara, can I have a piece?" Ben says. + +"No, Ben, this is my puzzle. Go away!" Sara says. She is selfish. She does not want to share. + +Ben is sad. He tries to find another toy. But he sees that Sara has taken all the toys. She has put them in a big pile. She does not let Ben touch any of them. + +"Please, Sara, can I have a toy?" Ben says. + +"No, Ben, these are my toys. Go away!" Sara says. She is selfish. She does not want to share. + +Ben is angry. He does not like Sara. He thinks she is mean. He wants to make her sorry. He sees a big ball. He picks it up. He throws it at Sara's pile of toys. + +"Hey, Ben, stop that!" Sara says. She is scared. She sees her toys falling down. She sees her puzzle breaking. + +Ben does not stop. He throws the ball again and again. He is happy. He sees Sara crying. + +"Please, Ben, stop that!" Sara says. She is sorry. She sees her toys ruined. She sees her puzzle gone. + +But Ben does not listen. He refuses to stop. He is selfish. He does not want to forgive. +Lily and Ben like to play with clay. They make animals and shapes with their hands. They have red clay, blue clay, yellow clay and green clay. They have fun mixing the colors and making new ones. + +One day, Lily has an idea. She says to Ben, "Let's send our clay to grandma. She will like it very much. She lives far away, but we can put our clay in a box and give it to the mailman. He will take it to grandma's house." + +Ben thinks this is a clever idea. He says, "Yes, let's do that. Grandma will be happy to see our clay. What should we make for her?" + +Lily and Ben think hard. They want to make something special for grandma. They decide to make a clay family. They make a clay grandma, a clay Lily, a clay Ben, a clay mom and a clay dad. They also make a clay dog and a clay cat, because grandma loves animals. + +They put their clay family in a big box. They write a note for grandma. They say, "We love you, grandma. We made this clay family for you. We hope you like it. From Lily and Ben." They draw hearts and flowers on the note. + +They take the box to the mailman. He smiles and says, "What a nice gift for grandma. I will send it to her right away. She will be very proud of you. You are very clever and creative." + +Lily and Ben hug the mailman and say, "Thank you, mailman. You are very kind and helpful." + +They go back to their house. They wait for grandma to call them. They know she will be very happy and surprised. They love their grandma very much. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. One day, they saw a bush with red berries. They wanted to pick some and eat them. + +But their mom said, "No, those berries are not good. They are sour and make you sick. And there is a bird who lives in the bush. He is very tough and does not like to be disturbed. He will peck you if you go near his home." + +Lily and Tom listened to their mom and played with their ball instead. They had fun throwing and catching it. But then, the ball bounced too high and went over the fence. They ran to get it, but they forgot about the bush. + +They saw the ball near the bush. They did not see the bird. They reached for the ball, but then they heard a loud squawk. The bird flew out of the bush and attacked them. He pecked their heads and arms. He was very angry and scared. + +Lily and Tom screamed and ran away. They dropped the ball and the berries they had picked. They ran to their mom and hugged her. They were hurt and sorry. + +Their mom said, "I told you not to disturb the bird. He was protecting his home and his food. You should respect his space and leave him alone. Now, let me clean your wounds and give you some ice cream. And next time, listen to me and be careful." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to draw with pencils. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. They want to draw them. + +"Let's go near the pond," Tom whispers to Mia. "We can draw better there." + +"OK," Mia whispers back. "But we have to be careful. The pond is wet and deep." + +They sneak away from their moms and go to the pond. They sit on a rock and start to draw. They are happy. + +But then, a big wind comes. It blows Tom's pencil into the pond. Tom is sad. He wants his pencil back. + +"I can get it for you," Mia says. "I can reach it with my hand." + +She leans over the pond and stretches her arm. But she slips and falls into the pond. She is wet and scared. She cries for help. + +Tom and their moms hear her cry. They run to the pond. They see Mia in the water. They are worried. + +Tom's mom jumps into the pond and grabs Mia. She pulls her out and hugs her. She is wet and cold. + +Mia's mom is angry and sad. She scolds Mia and Tom. + +"Why did you go to the pond without telling us?" she asks. "You could have drowned. You were very naughty and foolish." + +Tom and Mia are sorry. They say sorry to their moms. They say sorry to each other. They learn their lesson. + +The moral of the story is: Do not go near the water without an adult. Do not risk your life for a pencil. Listen to your mom. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors, but her favorite was red. She liked to draw red flowers, red hearts, and red apples. She drew on paper, on the wall, and on her desk. + +One day, Mommy saw Lily's desk. It was all red. Mommy was not happy. She said, "Lily, why did you draw on your desk? That is not good. You should only draw on paper. Now your desk is messy and we have to clean it." + +Lily felt sad. She did not want to make Mommy angry. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I like red. It is pretty. Can I please keep my desk red?" + +Mommy shook her head. She said, "No, Lily. You have to learn to take care of your things. Your desk is not for drawing. It is for doing your homework and reading your books. If you want to draw, you can use this big paper. See? It has many colors. You can draw anything you want on it." + +Lily looked at the paper. It was big and white. It had red, blue, yellow, green, and purple crayons. Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, Mommy. That is nice. Can I please draw a picture for you?" + +Mommy smiled too. She said, "Yes, Lily. You can draw a picture for me. I would love that. But first, let's clean your desk. OK?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "OK, Mommy. Let's clean my desk. Then I will draw a picture for you. I will use red and other colors too. I love you, Mommy." + +Mommy hugged Lily. She said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good girl. And you are a good artist. Come on, let's get a cloth and some soap. We will make your desk shiny and clean." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play basketball together. They have a big ball that bounces and a hoop that hangs on the wall. They take turns to throw the ball into the hoop and cheer when they make it. + +One day, Tom comes to Mia's house with his new toy. It is a robot that can talk and move. It is shiny and has lights and sounds. Tom thinks it is adorable. He shows it to Mia and says, "Look at my robot! It can say hello and dance and sing. Do you want to play with it?" + +Mia looks at the robot and nods. She thinks it is adorable too. She says, "Yes, I want to play with it. Can I hold it?" Tom gives her the robot and they sit on the floor. They make the robot say hello and dance and sing. They laugh and have fun. + +But they forget about the basketball. The ball is still on the grass outside. A dog sees the ball and runs to it. It thinks the ball is a toy. It bites the ball and pops it. The ball is broken. + +Tom and Mia hear a loud noise. They look out the window and see the dog and the ball. They gasp and run outside. They try to get the ball from the dog, but the dog runs away. They are sad and angry. They say, "Bad dog! You broke our ball! That was our favorite ball!" + +They look at each other and cry. They hug and say, "We are sorry. We forgot about the ball. We were too busy with the robot. We should have played with the ball first. We love the ball more than the robot." + +They go back inside and put the robot away. They say, "The robot is adorable, but the ball is more fun. We will play with the ball again when we get a new one. We will not forget about the ball again. We are still friends." They smile and hug. They are happy. +Mia and Ben like to pretend they are pirates. They have a big box that is their ship. They put a stick and a cloth on it to make a flag. They wear hats and eye patches and say "Arrr!" a lot. + +One day, they find a map in a book. It has a red X on it. They think it is a treasure map. They want to find the treasure. They take their ship and sail across the floor. They look for clues and landmarks. + +They see a pile of waste in the corner. It is old papers and cans and bottles. They think it is a mountain. They climb over it and look for the X. They find a shiny coin under a can. They think it is gold. They are very happy. + +They put the coin in their ship and sail back to their room. They are very warm from playing. They drink some water and eat some crackers. They share their treasure and count it. They have one coin. They think they are rich. They smile and hug each other. They love to pretend. +Lily was a smart girl who liked to taste new things. She saw a big jar of red jam on the shelf and wanted to try it. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jar, but it was too heavy for her. The jar fell and broke on the floor, making a loud noise and a sticky mess. + +"Who did this?" Mommy shouted, coming into the kitchen. She saw Lily with jam on her hands and face and got very angry. "Lily, you are a naughty girl! You could have hurt yourself or made a fire! You are not allowed to touch the jam or anything else on the shelf!" + +"But Mommy, I just wanted to taste the jam. It looked yummy," Lily said, crying. + +"I don't care what it looked like. You have to ask me before you take anything from the shelf. You have to listen to me and follow the rules. Now you have to go to your room and stay there until dinner. No more jam for you today!" Mommy said, taking Lily by the arm and leading her to her room. + +Lily felt very sad and sorry. She wished she had not touched the jam. She wished Mommy was not so mad at her. She wished she could taste something yummy and make Mommy happy again. But she could not. She had to stay in her room and wait for dinner. She did not like this bad ending. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the lake. One day, they saw a big kayak on the shore. It was red and shiny and had two seats. They wanted to try it. + +"Can we go in the kayak, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Only if you wear your life jackets and stay close to me," Mom said. She helped them put on the jackets and get in the kayak. She gave them each a paddle and told them how to use it. + +Ben and Lily were happy. They paddled around the lake, making splashes and waves. They saw ducks and fish and frogs. They sang songs and laughed. + +But then, they saw something big and dark under the water. It moved fast and made bubbles. It came closer and closer to the kayak. + +"What is that?" Lily asked, scared. + +"I don't know," Ben said, scared too. + +They heard a loud roar and saw a huge head with sharp teeth and angry eyes. It was a crocodile! + +"Mom, help!" Ben and Lily yelled. + +Mom heard them and saw the crocodile. She was scared too, but she was brave. She grabbed a big stick and ran to the kayak. She hit the crocodile on the nose and made it go away. + +"Are you okay, kids?" Mom asked, hugging them. + +"Yes, Mom, thank you," Ben and Lily said. + +They got out of the kayak and went back to the shore. They were glad they were safe and together. + +They never went in the kayak again. +Lily liked to learn new things. She liked to learn about animals, colors, shapes and numbers. She also liked to learn about plants. She had a book with pictures of plants and their names. She wanted to see some of the plants in real life. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw many plants there. She saw roses, daisies, tulips and sunflowers. She pointed at them and said their names. Her mom was proud of her. She said, "You are very smart, Lily. You know a lot of plants." + +Then, Lily saw a plant she did not know. It was pale and had big leaves. It looked like a cabbage, but it was not a cabbage. It was a plant called aloe vera. Lily did not know that. She wanted to learn more about it. She said, "Mom, what is that plant?" + +Her mom looked at the plant and said, "That is aloe vera, Lily. It is a special plant. It can help heal wounds and burns. But you should not touch it. It has sharp spikes on the edges. They can hurt you." + +Lily did not listen to her mom. She was curious. She wanted to touch the plant. She thought it was soft and smooth. She reached out her hand and touched the plant. But she was wrong. The plant was not soft and smooth. It was hard and spiky. The spikes pricked her hand. It hurt a lot. Lily cried out loud. She said, "Ow, ow, ow! Mom, it hurts!" + +Her mom ran to her and saw her hand. It was bleeding and swollen. She said, "Oh, Lily, I told you not to touch the plant. You did not listen to me. Now you are hurt. We have to go to the doctor. Come on, let's go." + +She picked up Lily and carried her to the car. She drove to the doctor. The doctor looked at Lily's hand and said, "You touched aloe vera, didn't you? That was not a good idea. It can cause a bad reaction. You need some medicine and a bandage. It will take some time to heal." + +He gave Lily some medicine and a bandage. He said, "You have to be careful with plants, Lily. Some of them are good, but some of them are bad. You have to listen to your mom. She knows what is best for you." + +Lily felt sorry and sad. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, doctor. I learned my lesson. I will not touch plants I don't know. I will listen to you." + +She hugged her mom and said, "I love you, mom. Thank you for taking care of me." + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my brave girl. But please, be more careful next time." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a big slide that they loved to go down. Lily always went down the slide first, because she was brave and fast. Ben always went down the slide second, because he was shy and slow. + +One day, a new boy came to the park. He had a red hat and a mean face. He saw Lily and Ben playing on the slide and he wanted to go first. He pushed Lily and Ben aside and climbed up the ladder. He laughed and said, "I am the best at sliding. You are ignorant and weak." + +Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They did not like the new boy. They wanted to teach him a lesson. They had a plan. They waited for the new boy to go down the slide again. Then, they ran to the other side of the slide, where there was a big puddle of mud. They held hands and smiled. + +The new boy slid down the slide, feeling proud and happy. He did not see Lily and Ben on the other side. He did not see the big puddle of mud. He landed with a splash and a scream. He was covered in mud and he cried. Lily and Ben laughed and said, "We are the best at sliding. You are ignorant and mean." + +Lily and Ben succeeded in their plan. They felt good and happy. They went back to the slide and took turns going down. They did not care about the new boy. He learned his lesson. He was ignorant and rude. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. They had a big bucket to put the bugs in. They wanted to show them to Mom and Dad. + +"Look, I found a worm!" Lily said. She picked up the long, slimy thing and put it in the bucket. + +"Wow, good job!" Ben said. He kept digging with his shovel. He hoped to find something bigger and better. + +Suddenly, he felt something move under the dirt. He dug faster and faster. He saw something brown and hairy. He screamed. + +"Lily, come here! I found something huge and hairy!" + +Lily ran over to see what Ben had found. She looked in the hole and gasped. It was a big, furry animal. It had a long nose, sharp teeth and claws. It looked angry and scared. + +"Ben, that's not a bug! That's a badger!" Lily said. + +"A badger? What's a badger?" Ben asked. + +"A badger is a mean animal that lives in the ground. It can bite and scratch. We have to run away!" Lily said. + +They dropped their bucket and shovel and ran back to the house. They told Mom and Dad what they had seen. Mom and Dad were very surprised. + +"That's a very rare and dangerous result of your digging. You're lucky it didn't hurt you. You should never bother a badger or any wild animal. They need their space and peace. Next time, be more careful and respectful of nature." Mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They were sorry for disturbing the badger. They were also a little proud of their discovery. They had never seen such a big and hairy bug before. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They are making a big tower with many colors. Anna likes to make the tower tall and straight. Ben likes to make the tower funny and crooked. They are having fun. + +But then, Lily comes. Lily is older than Anna and Ben. She thinks she knows everything. She sees the tower and says, "That is a silly tower. It is not good. You should make it like this." She takes some blocks and changes the tower. She makes it boring and gray. + +Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They say, "Stop it, Lily. This is our tower. We like it this way. You are rude." But Lily does not listen. She ignores them. She thinks she is smarter than them. She says, "No, you are wrong. This is a better tower. You have small brains. You do not know anything." + +Anna and Ben do not want to play with Lily. They want to play with their own tower. They have an idea. They say, "Okay, Lily. You can have this tower. We will make another one." They take some blocks and go to another corner. They start to make a new tower. They make it tall and straight and funny and crooked. They make it with many colors. They are happy. + +Lily is left alone with the boring and gray tower. She thinks she has won. She says, "Ha, ha, ha. I have the best tower. They have the worst tower. They are silly and stupid." But then, she looks around. She sees that no one is playing with her. She sees that Anna and Ben are playing with their new tower. They are laughing and talking. They are having fun. She feels lonely and sad. She says, "Hey, wait for me. Can I play with you?" But Anna and Ben ignore her. They say, "No, Lily. You are rude. You do not share. You do not listen. You do not have a good brain. You can play with your own tower." And they keep playing with their new tower. They are happy. +Sam and Mia were going to visit their grandma. They packed their bags with toys, books and clothes. They got in the car with their mom and dad. The car was a vehicle that could move fast on the road. + +"Are we there yet?" Sam asked. + +"Not yet, honey. It's a long way to grandma's house. We have to cross the big bridge and the tall mountain," mom said. + +Sam and Mia looked out the window. They saw the river, the trees and the birds. They sang songs and played games. They were happy. + +But then the sky turned dark and the wind blew hard. The car went slower and slower. The road was slippery and bumpy. The car made a loud noise and stopped. + +"Oh no, what's wrong?" dad asked. + +He got out of the car and opened the hood. He saw smoke and sparks. He shook his head. + +"I'm sorry, kids. The car is broken. We can't go any further. We have to wait for help," he said. + +Sam and Mia felt sad and scared. They wanted to see their grandma. They wanted to be warm and cozy. They did not like the harsh weather. They hugged their mom and cried. + +Mom tried to comfort them. She said, "Don't worry, my loves. Everything will be okay. We have each other. We have food and water. We have our bags. Let's unpack them and see what we can do." + +Sam and Mia wiped their tears and nodded. They opened their bags and took out their toys, books and clothes. They made a tent with a blanket and some pillows. They played with their dolls and cars. They read their favorite stories. They wore their hats and scarves. They smiled and laughed. + +Soon, they heard a siren and saw a light. It was a tow truck. It was another vehicle that could help them. The driver was friendly and kind. He said, "Hello, I'm here to rescue you. I can fix your car or take you to a garage. Where do you want to go?" + +Dad said, "Thank you, sir. We want to go to grandma's house. Can you take us there?" + +The driver said, "Sure, I can. It's not far from here. Hop in, everyone. Let's go." + +Sam and Mia packed their bags again. They got in the tow truck with their mom and dad. They waved goodbye to their car. They thanked the driver. They were happy again. + +They learned that sometimes things go wrong, but they can always find a way to cope. They learned that they have each other, and that's what matters most. They learned that they can have fun with what they have, and that's what makes them rich. They learned that there are good people who can help them, and that's what makes them grateful. They learned a lot from their trip. They were excited to see their grandma and tell her their story. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the backyard. They have a big tree with a swing and a slide. They also have a ladder. They use the ladder to climb the tree and look at the birds and the sky. + +One day, they see a weird thing in the tree. It is round and shiny and has a face. It looks like a big ball with eyes and a mouth. It makes a funny noise. "Beep boop beep boop," it says. + +"Hello, what are you?" Lily asks. She is not afraid. She likes new things. + +"I am a robot. I came from space. I am lost. Can you help me?" the thing says. + +"Wow, a robot! How cool!" Ben says. He is excited. He likes robots. + +"Sure, we can help you. How did you get in the tree?" Lily says. + +"I fell from my spaceship. It broke. I need to fix it. Do you have any tools?" the robot says. + +"Maybe. We have a hammer and some nails and some glue. Will that work?" Ben says. + +"I don't know. Let's try. Can you bring them to me?" the robot says. + +"Okay. Wait here. We will be back soon." Lily says. + +They use the ladder to go down the tree. They run to the garage and get the tools. They use the ladder to go up the tree again. They give the tools to the robot. The robot tries to fix his spaceship. He uses the hammer and the nails and the glue. He makes a lot of noise. "Bang bang bang. Clack clack clack. Squish squish squish." + +After a while, he says, "I did it! I fixed my spaceship. Thank you for your help. You are very kind and smart." + +"You're welcome. We are happy to help. You are very cool and funny." Lily and Ben say. + +"Goodbye, friends. I have to go now. Maybe I will see you again someday." the robot says. + +"Goodbye, robot. Have a safe trip. Maybe we will see you again someday." Lily and Ben say. + +The robot gets in his spaceship. It makes a loud noise. "Zoom zoom zoom." It flies away. It leaves a trail of sparkles in the sky. + +Lily and Ben wave goodbye. They use the ladder to go down the tree. They hug each other. They smile. They have a new story to tell. They have a new friend. They have a weird and wonderful day. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make races with their cars on the floor. Sometimes they made noises like vroom and beep. + +One day, they decided to have a big race with all their cars. They lined up their cars at one end of the room and said, "Ready, set, go!" They pushed their cars as fast as they could. They wanted to see who had the fastest car. + +But they did not see that Lily's baby brother was crawling on the floor. He saw the cars and thought they were interesting. He reached out his hands and grabbed some of the cars. He put them in his mouth and bit them. He threw some of the cars across the room. He destroyed the cars. + +Lily and Tom heard the noises and looked at the baby. They saw their cars broken and scattered. They were very angry and sad. They shouted, "No, no, no! Bad baby! You ruined our race! You destroyed our cars!" + +The baby did not understand. He just smiled and clapped his hands. He thought it was fun. Lily and Tom cried and ran to their mom. They told her what happened. Their mom said she was sorry, but the cars could not be fixed. She said they had to share their toys with the baby. Lily and Tom did not want to share. They did not like the baby. They did not like the race. They did not like the day. It was a bad day. The end. +Lila and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower, but they do not have enough blocks. They look around the room and see some books, pillows and toys. + +"Hey, I have an idea!" Lila says. "We can put other things on top of the blocks to make the tower taller!" + +Ben likes the idea. He grabs a book and puts it on the blocks. Lila finds a pillow and puts it on the book. They keep putting things on the tower until it is very long. + +"Wow, look at our tower!" Ben says. "It is longer than me!" + +Lila nods. She is proud of their tower. She wants to put one more thing on the top. She sees a teddy bear on the couch. She runs to get it. + +"Wait, Lila!" Ben says. "Be careful! The tower might fall!" + +But Lila does not hear him. She is too excited. She puts the teddy bear on the top of the tower. But the tower is too long and too wobbly. It cannot hold the teddy bear. The tower falls down with a loud crash. The blocks, the books, the pillows and the toys scatter all over the floor. The teddy bear lands on Lila's head. + +"Ouch!" Lila says. She rubs her head. She looks at the mess. She feels sad. She ruined their tower. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," she says. "I wanted to make the tower longer, but I made it fall." + +Ben looks at Lila. He sees that she is sad. He is not angry. He is her friend. + +"It's okay, Lila," he says. "We can make another tower. But this time, let's use only blocks. They are stronger and safer." + +Lila smiles. She likes Ben. He is a good friend. She hugs him. + +"Okay, Ben," she says. "Let's make another tower. But this time, let's make it shorter." +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They were thirsty and wanted some water. They saw a jug on the table. The jug was filthy. It had dirt and bugs on it. + +"Yuck! We can't drink from that jug!" Lily said. + +"Maybe we can find another jug," Ben said. + +They looked around the garden. They saw a big tree. The tree had a birdhouse. The birdhouse had a small jug. The jug was clean and shiny. + +"Look! There is a jug in the birdhouse!" Ben said. + +"Let's get it!" Lily said. + +They ran to the tree. Ben tried to reach the birdhouse. He was too short. He jumped and stretched, but he could not touch the jug. + +"Help me, Lily!" Ben said. + +Lily climbed on Ben's back. She reached the birdhouse. She grabbed the jug. She was happy. + +"We did it!" Lily said. + +They poured some water from the jug. They drank and smiled. They were not thirsty anymore. + +They thanked the birds for sharing their jug. They put the jug back in the birdhouse. They went back to playing in the garden. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their dog, Spot. They liked to run, jump, and slide on the grass and the swings. Spot liked to chase the birds and the squirrels. + +"Look, Ben, there is a shiny thing in the dirt!" Lily said, pointing to a small coin. "What is it?" + +Ben picked up the coin and looked at it. It was brown and round, with a picture of a man on one side and some letters on the other. "I think it is a copper," he said. "It is a kind of money that people use to buy things." + +"Wow, can we buy something with it?" Lily asked, excited. + +"I don't know, maybe," Ben said. "But it is very old and smelly. Maybe we should wash it first." + +They ran to the fountain, where there was some water and soap. They rubbed the copper with their hands, trying to make it clean and shiny. But the water was cold and the soap was slippery, and they dropped the copper into the fountain. + +"Oh no, we lost it!" Lily cried. + +"Don't worry, Lily, it's okay," Ben said, hugging his sister. "It was just a copper. We can find another one, or something better. Come on, let's go and play some more." + +They dried their hands on their clothes and ran back to the grass, where Spot was waiting for them. They threw a ball for him and he fetched it, wagging his tail. They laughed and had fun, forgetting about the copper. + +They were happy and relaxed, enjoying the sunny day. +Lily and Ben are playing in the bath. They have many toys and bubbles. Lily has a duck and Ben has a boat. They splash and laugh. + +"Look, Lily, my boat can fit in your duck!" Ben says. He puts his boat inside the duck's mouth. The duck makes a funny noise. + +"No, Ben, that is not good. The duck does not like the boat. The boat is too big. The duck is too small. The boat can hurt the duck." Lily says. She takes the boat out of the duck's mouth. She gives the boat back to Ben. + +"Sorry, Lily, I did not know. I was just trying to have fun. Can we play something else?" Ben says. He feels sad. + +"Of course, Ben. We can play with the soap. The soap is soft and smooth. We can make shapes with the soap. Look, I can make a ball with the soap. Can you make a star with the soap?" Lily says. She smiles and gives Ben some soap. + +"Wow, Lily, that is cool. I can try to make a star with the soap. Like this?" Ben says. He squeezes the soap in his hand. He makes a star with the soap. He shows Lily his star. + +"Good job, Ben. You made a star with the soap. Your star is very pretty. I like your star. Do you like my ball?" Lily says. She shows Ben her ball. + +"Yes, Lily, I like your ball. Your ball is very round. I like your ball. Can we trade?" Ben says. He gives Lily his star and takes her ball. + +"Sure, Ben. We can trade. I like your star and you like my ball. We are good friends. We have fun in the bath." Lily says. She takes Ben's star and gives him her ball. + +They hug and play with the soap. They are happy. +Tom and Jen liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, climb and swing. They liked to swing very high and feel the wind in their hair. They always had fun together. + +One day, the sky was dark and angry. Mom said there was a big storm coming. She said it was called a hurricane. She said they had to stay inside and be safe. Tom and Jen were sad. They wanted to play in the park. + +The next day, the storm was gone. The sun was bright and warm. Mom said they could go to the park. Tom and Jen were happy. They ran to the park. They saw the slide, the climb and the swing. But something was wrong. The slide was broken. The climb was twisted. The swing was gone. The hurricane had taken them away. Tom and Jen were sad. They wanted to play in the park. + +They looked around. They saw something shiny. It was a new swing. It was bigger and better than the old one. It had two seats and a long chain. It was a gift from the park people. They said they were sorry for the storm. They said they wanted the kids to have fun. Tom and Jen were happy. They ran to the new swing. They took turns to swing very high and feel the wind in their hair. They always had fun together. + +They said thank you to the park people. They said they were lucky. They said they liked the new swing. They said they liked the park. They said they liked each other. They smiled and hugged. They swung and laughed. They were happy. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to draw pictures with crayons. One day, they see a big poster on the wall. It says: "Draw a picture of your favorite animal and win a prize!" + +Tom and Lily want to win the prize. They ask their teacher for paper and crayons. They start to draw. Tom draws a lion. He likes lions because they are big and strong. Lily draws a butterfly. She likes butterflies because they are pretty and colorful. + +They finish their pictures and show them to each other. Tom says: "My picture is better than yours. Lions are more dangerous than butterflies. Dangerous animals are cool." + +Lily says: "No, my picture is better than yours. Butterflies are more beautiful than lions. Beautiful animals are nice." + +They argue and argue. They do not listen to each other. They do not share their crayons. They are not friends anymore. + +The teacher sees them and says: "Stop! Why are you fighting? Your pictures are both good. You can both win the prize. But you have to be kind and respectful to each other. Friends do not say mean things. Friends do not take things. Friends help each other and have fun." + +Tom and Lily feel sorry. They say: "We are sorry, teacher. We are sorry, friend. We were wrong. We like both pictures. We like both animals. We like each other." + +They hug and smile. They give their pictures to the teacher. The teacher says: "Good job, Tom and Lily. You are both winners. You win the prize of friendship. And you also win a sticker of your favorite animal. Here you go." + +Tom and Lily are happy. They stick their stickers on their shirts. They say: "Thank you, teacher. Thank you, friend. We are friends again. We love to draw pictures. We love to win prizes. But we love each other more." +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They saw a big onion on the counter. Tom wanted to cut it with a knife, but Lily said no. + +"That is not for us. That is for Mommy. She will be angry if you touch it. And it will make you cry," Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He took the knife and the onion and tried to cut it. He did not know how to cut it well. He hurt his finger and the onion juice went into his eyes. He dropped the knife and the onion and started to scream. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Tom screamed. + +Mommy heard the scream and ran into the kitchen. She saw Tom holding his finger and crying. She saw the knife and the onion on the floor. She was scared and angry. + +"Tom, what did you do? Why did you touch the knife and the onion? You could have hurt yourself badly. And you made a big mess," Mommy said. + +She took Tom to the sink and washed his finger and his eyes. She put a band-aid on his finger and gave him a hug. She told him to never touch the knife and the onion again. She told him to say sorry to Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I wanted to cut the onion, but it was not for me. It was not available. It was for Mommy. And it made me scream," Tom said. + +Lily hugged Tom and said it was okay. She was glad he was not hurt too much. She said they could play something else. She said they could make a cake with flour and sugar and eggs. They liked to make cake. It was yummy and did not make them scream. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the backyard. They liked to make noises and pretend they were racing. But then they saw a big pile of ash near the fence. It was from the fire that their dad had made last night. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "Let's go see what it is." + +"No, Ben, we can't!" Lila said. "Dad said it's hot and dirty and we should stay away from it." + +Ben did not listen to Lila. He decided he wanted to touch the ash. He ran towards the pile and reached out his hand. + +"Ben, stop!" Lila shouted. "You'll get burned and dirty!" + +But it was too late. Ben touched the ash and felt a sharp pain. He pulled back his hand and saw it was black and red. He started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he wailed. "It hurts, it hurts!" + +Lila ran to him and hugged him. She felt sorry for him, but she was also angry. + +"Ben, you're so spoiled!" she said. "You never listen to anyone. You always do what you want. Now look what you did. You hurt yourself and you ruined your toy car. It's all covered in ash too." + +Ben looked at his toy car and saw that Lila was right. It was no longer shiny and colorful. It was dull and gray. He felt even more sad. + +"I'm sorry, Lila," he said. "I was curious. I wanted to see the ash. I didn't mean to hurt myself or my toy car." + +Lila sighed. She knew Ben was sorry, but she also knew he had to learn his lesson. + +"Come on, Ben," she said. "Let's go inside and show mom. Maybe she can help you clean your hand and your toy car. But you have to promise me something." + +"What?" Ben asked. + +"You have to promise me you'll listen to dad and me next time. And you'll be more careful and not spoiled. OK?" + +Ben nodded. He promised Lila he would listen and be more careful and not spoiled. He hoped mom would not be too mad at him. He learned that ash was not fun to play with. He learned that being spoiled was not good. He learned that listening to Lila was smart. +Lily likes to play with her telephone. It is a gray toy that makes sounds when she pushes the buttons. She likes to pretend that she is talking to her friends or her grandma. + +One day, she hears a real telephone ring in the living room. She runs to see who it is. She sees her mom pick up the phone and say hello. Lily wants to listen too, so she grabs another phone from the table and puts it to her ear. + +But she does not hear anything. She only hears a beep beep beep. She is confused. Why does her phone not work like mom's phone? She tries to push the buttons, but nothing happens. She feels sad and angry. + +She starts to cry and throw the phone on the floor. Mom hears the noise and turns to see what is wrong. She sees Lily crying and the phone broken. She puts down her phone and goes to hug Lily. + +She says, "I'm sorry, Lily. This phone is not a toy. It is a real phone that we use to talk to people who are far away. Your phone is a toy that you can play with in your room. It does not work like the real phone, but it is still fun. Do you want to play with your phone in your room?" + +Lily nods and wipes her tears. She says, "Yes, mom. I want to play with my phone in my room. Can I call grandma later?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Of course, Lily. You can call grandma later with the real phone. She will be happy to hear your voice. But first, let's pick up the broken phone and put it in the trash. We don't want anyone to get hurt by the sharp pieces." + +Lily and mom pick up the broken phone and put it in the trash. Then they go to Lily's room and play with her toy phone. Lily listens to the sounds and pretends to talk to her friends and her grandma. She feels happy and forgets about the beep beep beep. +Lily and Ben were restless. They did not want to go to bed. They wanted to play more with their toys and books. + +"Mom, can we stay up a little longer?" Lily asked. + +"No, sweetie, it's past your bedtime. You need to sleep and rest," Mom said. + +"But we're not sleepy. We're bored," Ben said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. "I have an idea. How about we read a story together? A cozy and fun story that will help you settle down." + +Lily and Ben liked that idea. They ran to their room and picked a book. They put on their jackets and snuggled under the blanket. Mom sat on the bed and opened the book. + +"Once upon a time, there was a little bear who loved to explore the forest. He was curious and brave, but sometimes he got into trouble. One day, he found a big honeycomb and wanted to taste it. But he did not see the bees that lived there. When he poked the honeycomb, the bees came out and chased him. He ran and ran, but the bees were faster. He was scared and hurt. He wished he was home with his mom and dad." + +"What happened next?" Lily and Ben asked. + +"You'll have to wait and see," Mom said. "But I'll give you a hint. He learned a lesson and found a friend." + +Lily and Ben were curious and excited. They listened to Mom as she read the rest of the story. They forgot about being restless and bored. They felt warm and happy. They settled down and fell asleep. Mom kissed them good night and turned off the light. She smiled and whispered, "Sweet dreams, my little bears." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Tom wants to go on the slide, but Mia is scared. + +"Come on, Mia, it is fun!" Tom says. "I dare you to go on the slide with me." + +Mia shakes her head. "No, Tom, it is too high. I do not like high things. They make me feel dizzy." + +Tom smiles. He has an idea. He winks at Mia. "Okay, Mia, I have a new dare for you. If you go on the slide with me, I will give you a candy. But if you do not go, you have to make a loud noise like a lion." + +Mia thinks. She likes candy. But she does not like high things. She looks at the slide. She looks at Tom. She looks at the candy. + +"Okay, Tom, I will try," she says. "But you have to hold my hand." + +Tom nods. He takes Mia's hand. They climb up the stairs. They sit on the slide. They slide down together. + +"Whee!" Tom shouts. + +"Aaaah!" Mia screams. + +They reach the bottom. They laugh. They hug. + +"See, Mia, it was not so bad," Tom says. "You are brave. Here is your candy." + +"Thank you, Tom," Mia says. "You are a good friend. But next time, can we make a loud noise like a lion instead?" +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree. The tree has a hole. Sara says, "Let's go inside the hole. It can be our shelter." Tom says, "OK, let's go." + +They crawl inside the hole. It is dark and cozy. They see a bird nest. The nest has eggs. Sara says, "Look, pretty eggs. Maybe they will hatch soon." Tom says, "Yes, maybe. But we should not touch them. They belong to the bird." + +They hear a loud squawk. A bird flies into the hole. It is the mother bird. She is angry. She sees Sara and Tom. She thinks they want to steal her eggs. She flaps her wings and pecks at them. Sara and Tom are scared. They scream and run out of the hole. + +They run to the bench. They are safe. They are also dirty and scratched. They look at each other. They start to laugh. Sara says, "That was a bad joke. The bird did not like us in her shelter." Tom says, "No, she did not. But it was also funny. We looked like two mice." They hug and say sorry to the bird. They decide to find another place to play. +Sara and Tom were very hungry. They wanted to eat pie for lunch. Mom said she would make pie, but she had to do some work first. She told Sara and Tom to wait in the living room and be polite. + +Sara and Tom waited and waited. They looked at the clock. It was almost noon. They heard Mom typing on her computer. They smelled the pie in the oven. Their tummies rumbled. + +"Mom, can we have pie now?" Sara asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. I have to finish this email. It's very important. Please be patient," Mom said. + +"But we are very hungry. And the pie smells so good. Can we have a little piece?" Tom begged. + +"No, honey. You have to wait until it's done. And you have to share with me and Dad. It's not polite to eat before everyone else. I'm sorry for the delay, but I'll be done soon," Mom said. + +Sara and Tom sighed. They went back to the living room. They played with their toys. They tried not to think about the pie. They hoped Mom would finish her work soon. They wanted to eat pie for lunch. +Lila and Ben are twins who love to sing. They sing in the morning, they sing at lunch, they sing at night. They sing songs about animals, colors, numbers, and space. They want to be astronauts when they grow up and explore the stars. + +One day, they find a big cardboard box in the garage. They decide to make it into a spaceship. They cut out windows, draw buttons, and stick stickers. They put on their helmets and get ready to blast off. + +"Five, four, three, two, one, go!" they shout together and pretend to fly. + +"Look, Lila, there's the moon!" Ben says, pointing at a white ball. + +"Wow, it's so big and bright!" Lila says, admiring it. + +"Let's sing a song about the moon!" Ben suggests. + +"Okay, you start!" Lila agrees. + +Ben starts to sing, "The moon is a circle, the moon is a light, the moon is a friend in the night..." + +But Lila interrupts him, "No, no, no, that's not how it goes! The moon is a cheese, the moon is a snack, the moon is a treat for a mouse!" + +Ben frowns, "That's silly, Lila, the moon is not a cheese! That's not a real song!" + +"Yes, it is, Ben, it's a fun song! And the moon is a cheese, I saw it in a book!" Lila argues. + +They start to bicker and shout, "No, it's not!" "Yes, it is!" "No, it's not!" "Yes, it is!" + +They get so loud that their mom hears them from the kitchen. She comes to the garage and sees them fighting in the box. + +"What's going on here?" she asks, looking worried. + +"Lila and I are singing about the moon, but she's singing it wrong!" Ben complains. + +"No, I'm not, Ben is singing it wrong!" Lila retorts. + +Mom sighs, "Oh, dear, you two. There's no right or wrong way to sing about the moon. You can sing it however you like, as long as you're having fun and being nice to each other. Singing is a healthy and happy thing to do, but not if you're angry and rude. Why don't you try to sing together, and take turns, and listen to each other's ideas?" + +Lila and Ben look at each other and feel sorry. They say sorry to each other and hug. + +"Okay, mom, we'll try," they say. + +They go back to their spaceship and start to sing again. This time, they sing a new song that combines both of their words. + +"The moon is a circle, the moon is a cheese, the moon is a light, the moon is a snack, the moon is a friend, the moon is a treat, the moon is a wonder in the night!" + +They smile and laugh and enjoy their song. Mom smiles too and joins them in singing. They have a blast in their spaceship and in their space. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They open and close the cabinets. They find pots and pans and spoons and cups. They pretend to cook and eat. + +One day, they see a fancy cabinet in the corner. It is big and shiny and has a lock. They wonder what is inside. They try to open it, but it is too hard. + +"Maybe there is a cake in there," Sara says. + +"Or a toy," Ben says. + +They look for the key, but they cannot find it. They are sad. + +Then, they hear a laugh. It is Mom. She comes into the kitchen with a smile. + +"I have a joke for you," she says. "Do you want to hear it?" + +"Yes, please," Sara and Ben say. + +"OK, here it is. What is in the fancy cabinet that you cannot open?" + +Sara and Ben think hard. They shake their heads. + +"I don't know," Sara says. + +"Me neither," Ben says. + +Mom holds up a key. She says, "The key is in the fancy cabinet that you cannot open!" + +Sara and Ben laugh. They think it is a funny joke. Mom unlocks the cabinet and opens it. She shows them what is inside. + +It is a cake. And a toy. And a card that says, "Happy birthday, Sara and Ben!" + +Sara and Ben are happy. They hug Mom and thank her. They share the cake and the toy and the card. They think it is the best joke ever. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw an enormous animal with a horn on its nose. It was a rhino. Ben and Lily wanted to touch the horn, but they were afraid. + +"Hello, rhino," Ben said. "Can we touch your horn?" + +The rhino looked at Ben and Lily. It snorted. It did not like strangers. + +"Go away, little ones," the rhino said. "My horn is not for touching. I need it to protect myself." + +"Why do you need to protect yourself?" Lily asked. "Are you scared of something?" + +The rhino nodded. It was scared of bad people who wanted to take its horn. The horn was very valuable. + +"Some bad people want to hurt me and take my horn," the rhino said. "They think they can sell it for a lot of money. But they are wrong. My horn is part of me. It makes me who I am." + +Ben and Lily felt sorry for the rhino. They did not want it to be hurt. + +"That is very sad," Ben said. "We are sorry, rhino. We did not know. We just wanted to be your friends." + +The rhino smiled. It saw that Ben and Lily were kind and curious. + +"Thank you, little ones," the rhino said. "You are very nice. You can be my friends. But please, do not touch my horn. It is very sensitive." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They understood. They did not touch the horn. They just talked to the rhino and learned more about it. They had a lot of fun. The rhino was happy to have new friends. +Lily loved her dog Spot. Spot was big and brown and liked to play with Lily. They ran and jumped and rolled in the grass. Lily was happy with Spot. + +One day, Spot ran away from Lily. He saw a cat and wanted to chase it. He ran across the street and did not look for cars. A car hit Spot and he was hurt. Lily saw Spot and cried. She ran to him and hugged him. She was scared for Spot. + +Lily's mom came and saw what happened. She was sad and worried too. She put Spot in the car and drove to the veterinarian. The veterinarian was a nice person who helped animals. She took Spot to a room and looked at him. She said Spot had a broken leg and needed a cast. She gave Spot some medicine to make him feel better. + +Lily waited outside the room with her mom. She was sad and hoped Spot would be okay. She prayed for Spot and asked God to help him. She wanted to see Spot and hug him again. + +The veterinarian came out of the room and smiled. She said Spot was brave and strong. She said he would be fine, but he needed to rest and heal. She said Lily could see him now. She unlocked the door and let Lily and her mom in. Lily saw Spot on a bed with a white cast on his leg. He wagged his tail and licked Lily's face. Lily was happy and hugged Spot. She said she loved him and was sorry he was hurt. She said she would take good care of him. Spot barked and licked her again. He was happy too. He loved Lily and was glad she was there. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They love to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a big green ball in the grass. They both want the ball. + +"Give me the ball!" Tom says. + +"No, it is mine!" Sue says. + +They pull and tug at the ball. They are angry and sad. They do not share. + +A dog comes by. He sees the ball. He thinks it is a toy. He runs and grabs the ball. He runs away with the ball. + +Tom and Sue are shocked. They look at each other. They feel sorry. + +"We were silly," Tom says. + +"Yes, we were," Sue says. + +They hug and say sorry. They are friends again. They love each other. + +They learn a lesson. The ball is not important. Sharing and caring are important. True friends are important. They are happy. +Tom and Anna are playing in the living room. They have paper, crayons and scissors. They want to make cards for their mom and dad. + +"Can I use the scissors?" Anna asks Tom. + +"OK, but be careful. Scissors are sharp and can hurt you," Tom says. He gives Anna the scissors and watches her cut the paper. + +Anna is happy. She makes a heart shape and draws a smiley face on it. She writes "I love you" with her crayons. + +Tom is bored. He wants to do something else. He sees the phone on the table. He picks it up and pretends to talk. + +"Hello, this is Tom. I want to order a pizza. A big one, with cheese and pepperoni. And a soda. And a cake. And some ice cream. And some candy. And some cookies. And some chips. And some popcorn. And some..." Tom says. + +Anna hears Tom and laughs. She thinks he is funny. She puts down the scissors and joins him. + +"Hello, this is Anna. I want to order a pizza too. A small one, with pineapple and ham. And a juice. And a fruit salad. And some yogurt. And some..." Anna says. + +They giggle and make more orders. They don't know that the phone is not a toy. It is a real phone. And it is not off. It is on. And someone is listening. + +"Who is this? What are you doing? Stop calling me!" a voice says. It is a scary voice. It is loud and angry. + +Tom and Anna are scared. They drop the phone and run to their mom. They hug her and tell her what happened. + +Mom is surprised. She picks up the phone and says sorry to the voice. It is the pizza place. They are not happy. They have many orders that they can't make. They want to know who is playing with the phone. + +Mom explains that it is her kids. They are only three years old. They don't know better. They are sorry too. + +The pizza place is not so angry anymore. They understand. They say it is OK. But they ask mom to teach her kids not to play with the phone. And not to order so much food. + +Mom agrees. She thanks them and hangs up. She looks at Tom and Anna. They are still scared. She smiles and hugs them. She tells them that it is OK. They made a mistake. But they learned a lesson. They say sorry to mom and to the pizza place. They promise not to play with the phone again. + +Mom is proud of them. She tells them that she loves them. She gives them their cards. They are beautiful. She kisses them and says they are the best. She asks them if they want to order a real pizza. A small one, with cheese and pepperoni. And a juice. And a cake. And some ice cream. And some candy. And some cookies. And some chips. And some popcorn. And some... + +They laugh and say yes. They are happy. They are not scared anymore. They are hungry. +Lila and Tom were twins who liked to play on the farm. They had many friends, like the cows, the pigs, and the chickens. But their favorite friends were the sheep. The sheep were soft and fluffy and liked to follow them around. + +One day, Lila and Tom saw a big puddle near the barn. They ran to it and jumped in. They laughed and splashed and made big waves. The sheep watched them and wanted to join. They liked water too. But they were afraid of getting wet and dirty. They were envious of Lila and Tom. + +Lila and Tom saw the sheep and called them. "Come on, sheep, come and splash with us! It's fun and cool!" they said. The sheep looked at each other and shook their heads. They stayed on the grass and bleated. They were too shy and scared. + +Lila and Tom felt sorry for the sheep. They wanted them to have fun too. They got out of the puddle and ran to the sheep. They hugged them and rubbed their wool. They said, "Don't be envious, sheep, we love you. You are our best friends. You don't have to splash if you don't want to. We can play something else with you." + +The sheep felt happy and loved. They wagged their tails and nuzzled Lila and Tom. They said, "Thank you, Lila and Tom, you are our best friends too. We don't have to splash if we don't want to. We can play something else with you." + +Lila and Tom smiled and nodded. They said, "Let's play tag, then. You are it, sheep!" They ran away and the sheep chased them. They laughed and ran and had fun. They forgot about the puddle and the envy. They were just happy to be together. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the house. But today, Mom says they have to help her clean. She gives them a mop and a bucket of water. + +"Ben, you do the kitchen. Lily, you do the living room. I will do the bathroom. OK?" Mom says. + +"OK, Mom," Ben and Lily say. They take the mop and the bucket and go to their rooms. + +Ben starts to mop the kitchen floor. He thinks it is fun. He makes big circles with the mop. He sings a song. He does not see the water spill out of the bucket. + +Lily starts to mop the living room floor. She thinks it is boring. She makes small lines with the mop. She does not sing a song. She sees the water spill out of the bucket. + +"Ben, stop! You are making a mess!" Lily shouts. She runs to the kitchen. She sees water everywhere. She sees Ben still mopping and singing. + +"Ben, you are weird! You are not cleaning, you are making more dirt!" Lily says. She tries to take the mop from Ben. + +"No, Lily, you are weird! You are not having fun, you are being grumpy!" Ben says. He holds on to the mop. + +They pull and tug on the mop. They splash water on each other. They make a lot of noise. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the kitchen. She sees Ben and Lily fighting. She sees water everywhere. She sees the mop on the floor. + +"Ben, Lily, what are you doing? You are not helping, you are making trouble!" Mom says. She is angry. She picks up the mop. She takes the bucket. She tells Ben and Lily to go to their room. + +Ben and Lily are sad. They go to their room. They do not play. They do not talk. They wish they had listened to Mom. They wish they had not fought. They wish they had not been weird. +Anna and Ben were playing hide and seek in the living room. Anna was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben looked for a good place to hide. He saw a big curtain that covered the window. He thought it was a good place to hide. He ran behind the curtain and stayed very quiet. + +Anna counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around the living room. She saw the sofa, the table, the lamp, and the curtain. She thought the curtain looked regular. She did not see anything behind it. She walked to the sofa and looked under it. She did not find Ben. She walked to the table and looked behind it. She did not find Ben. She walked to the lamp and looked around it. She did not find Ben. + +She was confused. Where was Ben? She said out loud, "Ben, where are you? I can't find you!" + +Ben heard Anna's voice. He smiled. He was good at hiding. He wanted to surprise Anna. He waited for Anna to come closer to the curtain. He saw Anna's shadow on the curtain. He got ready to jump out. He said in a loud voice, "Boo!" + +He pulled the curtain and jumped out. He hoped to scare Anna. But he did not scare Anna. He scared the cat. The cat was sleeping on the window sill behind the curtain. The cat did not like Ben's loud voice and sudden movement. The cat hissed and scratched Ben's face. Ben screamed and let go of the curtain. The curtain fell on Ben and the cat. The cat ran away from the curtain. Ben tried to escape from the curtain. He was tangled in the curtain. + +Anna heard Ben's scream and saw the curtain fall. She ran to the curtain and lifted it. She saw Ben's face. It had a scratch and some blood. She felt sorry for Ben. She said, "Ben, are you okay? I'm sorry you got hurt. The cat was hiding behind the curtain too. He did not like your boo." + +Ben felt pain and tears in his eyes. He said, "Anna, I'm okay. It's not your fault. I was trying to scare you. But I scared the cat instead. The cat was better at hiding than me." + +Anna hugged Ben and said, "It's okay, Ben. You were good at hiding too. But next time, don't hide behind the curtain. The curtain is not a good place to hide. The cat might be there. And the cat does not like to play hide and seek." +Lily and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They see a dish on the table. It is round and shiny and has a picture of a cute cat on it. + +"Look, a cat dish!" Lily says. "I like cats. They are soft and purr." + +"Me too," Ben says. "Can we play with the dish?" + +They take the dish and pretend it is a cat. They pet it and make meow sounds. They have fun. + +But then Mom comes in. She sees the dish on the floor. She is not happy. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my dish?" Mom asks. "That is not a toy. That is a special dish. Grandma gave it to me. It is very old and fragile. You could break it." + +"Sorry, Mom," Lily and Ben say. "We did not know. We thought it was a cute cat." + +Mom picks up the dish and looks at it. She is relieved. It is not broken. She smiles. + +"It is a cute cat," Mom says. "But it is also a dish. And dishes belong in the cupboard, not on the floor. Come, I will show you where to hang it." + +She takes Lily and Ben to the cupboard. She opens it and shows them a hook. She hangs the dish on the hook. It looks nice. + +"There," Mom says. "Now the dish is safe and we can still see the cute cat. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, Mom," Lily and Ben say. "We understand. We are sorry. We will not play with the dish again." + +Mom hugs them and kisses them. She is not angry anymore. She loves them. + +"Good," Mom says. "Now, how about we make some cookies? Do you want to help me?" + +"Yes, Mom!" Lily and Ben say. "We love cookies!" + +They go to the counter and get the ingredients. They help Mom make the dough and cut out shapes. They put them in the oven and wait. They smell yummy. + +Soon, the cookies are ready. They are warm and sweet and have chocolate chips. Mom puts them on a plate. She gives one to Lily and one to Ben. + +"Here you go," Mom says. "Enjoy your cookies. But be careful, they are hot." + +"Thank you, Mom," Lily and Ben say. "You are the best!" + +They eat their cookies and smile. They are happy. They love Mom. And they love the cute cat dish. But they will not play with it again. They will just look at it and admire it. It is a special dish. +Lila was a bird who lived in a big tree. She had a nest with her eggs and her mate. She was happy and loved her family. Every day, she flew to find food and water. She sang with her friends and played in the sun. + +One day, a big storm came. The wind was strong and the rain was heavy. Lila was scared and flew back to her nest. She wanted to be with her eggs and her mate. But when she got to the tree, she saw something bad. A big branch had fallen on her nest. Her eggs and her mate were gone. Lila was sad and cried. + +She did not want to stay in the tree. She flew away to find a new home. She looked for a new nest, but she could not find one. All the other birds had their own nests and families. They did not want to share with Lila. Lila felt lonely and unwanted. + +She flew and flew until she saw a big house. She saw a window with a flower pot. She thought maybe she could make a nest there. She flew to the window and landed on the flower pot. She started to pick some twigs and leaves. She hoped the people in the house would not mind. + +But they did mind. A boy saw Lila and ran to the window. He shouted and banged on the glass. He scared Lila and made her drop the twigs and leaves. He opened the window and grabbed Lila. He put her in a cage and locked it. He took her to his room and put her on a shelf. He said, "You are my new pet. You will stay here and sing for me." + +Lila was trapped and unhappy. She missed her eggs and her mate. She missed her tree and her friends. She missed her freedom and her joy. She did not want to sing for the boy. She wanted to fly away and find a new nest. But she could not. She had gained a cage, but she had lost everything else. +Lily and Tom were very happy. They were going to travel with Mom and Dad to a new place. They packed their bags and got in the car. Mom said, "We are going to see the sea and the sand. It will be fun!" + +They drove for a long time. Lily and Tom played games and sang songs. They saw many things on the road. They saw cows and sheep and trees and flowers. They also saw big trucks and buses and bikes. They waved to the people they passed. + +Finally, they arrived at the hotel. It was a big building with many windows and doors. A nice lady gave them a key and showed them their room. It was a lovely room with two beds and a TV and a bathroom. Lily and Tom jumped on the beds and turned on the TV. Mom and Dad smiled and said, "We are very tired. Let's rest for a while and then we can go to the beach." + +Lily and Tom agreed. They lay down on the beds and closed their eyes. They dreamed of the sea and the sand and the sun. They were very happy. They were going to have a fun day. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bag near a bench. The bag is original. It has many colors and shapes. + +"Look, Tom, a bag!" Lila says. "What is inside?" + +"I don't know, Lila. Let's see." Tom says. They go to the bag and open it. + +Inside the bag, they find many things. They find bread, cheese, apples, carrots, and cookies. They also find a bottle of water and a napkin. + +"Wow, so much food!" Lila says. "Who left this bag here?" + +"Maybe someone forgot it." Tom says. "Or maybe someone wanted to share it." + +Lila and Tom are hungry. They decide to eat some of the food. They take out the bread, cheese, and apples. They break the bread and cheese and share them. They bite the apples and enjoy them. + +"Yum, yum, this is good!" Lila says. + +"Yes, it is!" Tom says. + +They drink some water and wipe their mouths with the napkin. They are happy and full. + +"Thank you, bag!" Lila says. + +"Thank you, bag!" Tom says. + +They put the rest of the food back in the bag. They leave the bag where they found it. Maybe someone else will find it and eat it too. + +Lila and Tom go back to playing in the park. They have fun. They are glad they found the original bag. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to race them on the path and see who was faster. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily shouted and pushed her car forward. Ben did the same, but his car did not move. He looked at it and saw that the wheel was stuck in a mud puddle. + +"Oh no!" Ben said. "My car is in trouble. It can't race." + +Lily stopped her car and ran back to Ben. She saw his car in the mud and laughed. + +"That's a silly place to put your car!" she said. "You need to clean it and dry it. Then it can race again." + +Ben felt sad. He wanted to race with Lily, but his car was dirty and wet. He tried to pull it out of the mud, but it was hard. + +"Can you help me, Lily?" he asked. "Please?" + +Lily nodded. She was a good friend. She helped Ben to get his car out of the mud and wipe it with a cloth. Then they put it in the sun to dry. + +"Thank you, Lily," Ben said. "You are very kind." + +Lily smiled. She was happy to help Ben. She liked to play with him. + +"You're welcome, Ben," she said. "But now we have to wait for your car to dry. We can't race yet." + +Ben nodded. He understood. He had to delay the race until his car was ready. He hoped it would not take long. + +"Maybe we can do something else while we wait," he suggested. "Like play with the ball or the blocks." + +Lily agreed. She thought that was a good idea. They picked up the ball and the blocks and went to another part of the garden. They had fun playing with them. + +Soon, the sun dried Ben's car and it looked shiny and new. Ben and Lily saw it and ran to it. + +"Look, Lily!" Ben exclaimed. "My car is dry. Now we can race again." + +Lily nodded. She was excited. She picked up her car and put it on the path. + +"Ready, set, go!" she shouted and pushed her car forward. Ben did the same, and his car zoomed after hers. + +They raced their cars to the end of the path and back. They cheered and laughed. They did not care who won. They were both happy. + +They had a lot of success with their cars. They had a lot of fun with their friend. They did not mind the delay. They were not silly. They were smart. +Sara and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park and share toys. One day, Sara has a secret. She tells Ben to come with her behind a big tree. She urges him to be quiet and not tell anyone. + +Sara shows Ben a shiny ring. She says she found it on the ground. She says it is very pretty and she wants to keep it. Ben looks at the ring. He thinks it is bad. He knows it is not Sara's ring. He thinks someone lost it and is looking for it. + +Ben tells Sara to give the ring back. He says it is not nice to take things that are not yours. He says someone will be sad if they can't find their ring. Sara does not listen. She says she likes the ring and it is hers now. She says Ben is not her friend if he does not agree. + +Ben feels sad and angry. He does not want to lose Sara's friendship, but he does not want to do something bad. He thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He says he will help Sara keep the ring, but they have to hide it somewhere safe. He says he knows a good place. Sara smiles and agrees. + +Ben leads Sara to the park office. He says they can put the ring in a box there. He says no one will find it there. Sara follows him. When they get to the office, Ben sees a lady. He knows her. She is the park ranger. He says hello to her. He says he has something to show her. He shows her the ring. He says he and Sara found it on the ground. He says he thinks it belongs to someone else. He says he wants to give it back. + +The park ranger is surprised and happy. She says the ring is very important. She says it is her ring. She says she lost it yesterday and was very worried. She says she is very grateful to Ben and Sara for finding it and bringing it to her. She says they are very honest and kind. She gives them a hug and a sticker. She says they are her heroes. + +Sara feels ashamed and sorry. She realizes she was wrong to keep the ring. She says she is sorry to the park ranger and to Ben. She says she learned a lesson. She says she will never take things that are not hers again. She says she hopes they can still be friends. + +Ben smiles and forgives Sara. He says he is glad she changed her mind. He says he is proud of her. He says they are still best friends. They hug and say goodbye to the park ranger. They go back to play in the park. They are happy and have no more secrets. +Sam and Mia are friends who like to play with toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big jet. The jet is red and blue and can make noises. They pretend to fly the jet around the room and have fun. + +One day, Sam has an idea. He says to Mia, "Let's add something to the jet. It will be more fun." Mia nods and says, "What do you want to add?" Sam looks around and sees a yellow ball. He says, "Let's add the ball to the jet. It can be a sun." Mia agrees and they tape the ball to the jet. + +They fly the jet with the ball around the room again. They are happy and laugh. They think the jet is different and cool. They say, "Look at our jet.

They can't wait to play with the jet again. +Tim and Sue like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun with their friends. But sometimes, they get cold and need a jacket. + +One day, Tim sees a new jacket in the store. It is blue and shiny, with a big zipper and pockets. He wants it very much. He asks his mom, "Can I have that jacket, please?" + +His mom looks at the jacket and says, "It is very pretty, but it is also very expensive. You have a good jacket at home. It is warm and soft. Why do you need a new one?" + +Tim says, "But my jacket is old and rough. It has holes and stains. It is not cool like this one. Please, mom, please!" + +His mom shakes her head and says, "No, Tim, I'm sorry. We can't buy everything we want. We have to save money for other things. And you should be grateful for what you have. Your jacket is not that bad. You can improve it with some patches and buttons. Come on, let's go home and see what we can do." + +Tim is sad and angry. He does not want to go home. He does not want to improve his jacket. He wants the new one. He pouts and stomps his feet. He says, "No, mom, no! I don't like my jacket. I don't want to fix it. I want the new one. It is not fair!" + +His mom sighs and says, "Tim, stop being so rude. You are hurting my feelings. You are not being a good boy. You have to learn to be happy with what you have. And you have to respect me and listen to me. I know what is best for you. Now, come on, let's go home and have some cookies. Maybe you will feel better." + +Tim is still unhappy, but he follows his mom. He does not say anything. He thinks about the new jacket and how much he wants it. He wonders if he will ever get it. He wonders if he can improve his old jacket and make it look nice. He wonders if he can be a good boy and make his mom happy.

Mia asks. + +"Deaf means you can't hear," the man says. "Like this." He covers his ears with his hands. "Can you hear me now?" + +Mia shakes her head. She can't hear the man. She covers her ears too. She says something, but Tom can't hear her. + +Tom covers his ears too. He says something, but Mia and the man can't hear him. + +They all laugh. They uncover their ears. + +"I understand," Mia says. "Deaf is like that. It must be hard." + +The man smiles. "It's not so bad. Rex and I have our own way of talking. We use our eyes and our hands and our hearts. We love each other very much." + +Tom and Mia nod. They think the man and the dog are very nice. They pet Rex some more. They give him some food. Rex eats it happily. He barks.

He was not happy. + +"Tim, Lily, why did you spray my seat?" He asked, frowning. + +Tim and Lily looked at each other. They felt sorry. They did not mean to make dad angry. + +"We were playing, dad. We are sorry." They said, in a small voice. + +Dad sighed. He was not very angry. He loved his children. But he did not like wet seat. + +"OK, OK. I forgive you. But next time, do not spray my seat. Spray something else. Like the fence, or the tree, or the dog." He said, smiling. + +"OK, dad. We will." Tim and Lily said, nodding. + +They hugged their dad and said sorry again. Then they went to spray the dog. The dog liked water. He barked and wagged his tail. They all had fun. +Lily and Max were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy. + +But then the wind started to blow. It was very cold. Lily and Max started to shiver. They wanted to go inside and have some hot cocoa. + +"Let's go, Max," Lily said. "I'm cold and hungry." + +"Me too," Max said. "But what about our snowman? He will be lonely." + +Lily looked at the snowman. He looked happy, but also cold. She had an idea. + +"Let's ask daddy to take a picture of him," she said. "Then we can remember him and show him to mommy." + +Max liked the idea. They ran to the house and knocked on the door. Daddy opened it. He smiled when he saw them. + +"Wow, you made a great snowman," he said. "But you are also very messy. You have snow on your hair and your clothes." + +Lily and Max giggled. They didn't mind being messy. They were having fun. + +"Daddy, can you take a picture of our snowman?" Lily asked. "Please, please, please." + +"Of course," daddy said. "Let me get my camera." + +He got his camera and followed them to the snowman. He took a picture of them standing next to their snowman. They smiled and waved. + +"Thank you, daddy," Lily and Max said. + +"You're welcome, my little snowflakes," daddy said. "Now let's go inside and have some hot cocoa. You must be very cold." + +Lily and Max nodded. They hugged their snowman goodbye and followed daddy to the house. They were happy. They had made a snowman, a picture, and a memory. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they see a big jar on the shelf. The jar is full of colorful candies. Anna and Ben want to eat some candies. + +"Let's order Mom to give us some candies," Anna says. + +"No, we can't order Mom. That is rude. We have to ask Mom nicely," Ben says. + +They go to the kitchen, where Mom is making lunch. They say, "Mom, can we have some candies from the jar, please?" + +Mom smiles and says, "You can have one candy each, but only after you finish your lunch. The jar is not a toy. You have to be gentle with it." + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "OK, Mom. Thank you." + +They go back to the living room and wait for lunch. They look at the jar and think about the candies. They are very sweet and yummy. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play tricks on each other. One day, Anna had a plan to scare Ben. She took a big sheet and made it look like a ghost. She hid behind the door of their room and waited for Ben to come in. + +Ben was in the garden, picking flowers for their mom. He saw a butterfly and followed it to the other side of the fence. He did not know that Anna was lying behind the door with her sheet. He was happy and humming a song. + +He opened the door and walked into the room. Suddenly, he saw a white shape jump out and yell "Boo!" He screamed and ran away. He was very scared and thought it was a real ghost. + +Anna laughed and laughed. She thought she was very clever and funny. She dropped the sheet and ran after Ben. She wanted to tell him it was a joke. + +But when she got to the garden, she saw something that made her stop. Ben was not there. He had run to the street and was hit by a car. He was lying on the ground, bleeding and crying. A lady was calling for help. + +Anna felt very foolish and sorry. She wished she had not played that trick on Ben. She ran to him and hugged him. She said "I'm sorry, Ben. I love you. Please be okay." + +The end. +Tom and Amy went to a big place with many people and many foods. They wanted to eat something yummy. They saw a man with a menu in his hand. The menu had pictures of foods and words. + +"Can we see the menu, please?" Tom asked the man. + +"Sure, here you go," the man said and gave them the menu. + +Tom and Amy looked at the menu. They saw pizza, pasta, salad, burger, fries, ice cream, and cake. They liked all the foods, but they did not know what to choose. + +"What do you want, Amy?" Tom asked his sister. + +Amy was shy. She did not like to talk to strangers. She pointed at the pizza. + +"I want pizza, too," Tom said. + +They gave the menu back to the man. + +"Two pizzas, please," Tom said. + +"Okay, coming right up," the man said and smiled. + +Tom and Amy found a table and sat down. They waited for their pizzas. They were hungry and happy. They liked the big place with many people and many foods. They liked the man with the menu. They liked pizza. +Sam and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw a big tent with many colors. Mom said it was a circus. She bought tickets for them to see the show. + +Inside the tent, they saw many animals and people doing tricks. There was a man with a big red nose and funny clothes. He was a clown. He made jokes and noises that made everyone laugh. Sam and Lily liked the clown. + +The clown saw Sam and Lily and smiled. He came to them and said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want to see something special?" He took out a balloon and made it into a shape of a dog. He gave it to Sam. "Wow, thank you!" Sam said. + +The clown said, "You're welcome. Do you want to see more? Follow me, I'll show you." He took Lily's hand and started to walk away. Lily said, "OK, let's go." + +Mom saw the clown leading Sam and Lily away. She got scared and ran after them. She shouted, "Stop, clown! Where are you taking my children?" The clown did not stop. He ran faster and faster. He went to a dark corner of the tent, where there was a big van. He opened the door and pushed Sam and Lily inside. He locked the door and got in the driver's seat. He started the engine and drove away. + +Mom reached the van, but it was too late. She banged on the door and screamed, "Help, help! He took my children!" But no one heard her. The clown laughed and said, "Bye, bye, Mommy. I have new friends now. They will have fun with me and my weird friends. We will play and play and never stop." He drove away, leaving Mom alone and crying. +Ben and Lily were playing in the library. They liked to look at the books with many pictures and words. Ben found a big book with no pictures. It was a dictionary. He wanted to see what was inside. + +"Look, Lily, this book has all the words!" Ben said. He opened the dictionary and tried to read some words. He did not know many of them. + +Lily was curious too. She came closer and tried to grab the book from Ben. "Let me see, let me see!" she said. + +But Ben did not want to share. He pulled the book back and said, "No, it's mine! Go find your own book!" + +They both tugged at the book until it ripped. The pages flew everywhere. Ben and Lily gasped. They knew they had done something bad. + +The librarian heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the torn dictionary and the mess of pages. She was very angry. + +"Who did this?" she asked. "This is a very important book. You have to be careful with books. They are not toys. You have to respect them." + +Ben and Lily felt sorry. They did not mean to hurt the book. They looked at each other and then at the librarian. + +"We did it," they said together. "We are sorry. We were curious. We wanted to see the words." + +The librarian sighed. She was still angry, but she saw that they were honest and sorry. She decided to forgive them. + +"Thank you for telling the truth," she said. "But you have to learn from this mistake. You have to be gentle with books. And you have to share with each other. Books are for everyone to enjoy. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They understood. They said sorry again. They helped the librarian to pick up the pages and tape the book. They promised to be more careful and kind next time. + +The librarian smiled. She was glad that they learned their lesson. She gave them each a hug and a sticker. She showed them some other books with pictures and words that they could read together. She also showed them a hidden corner where they could sit and read quietly. Ben and Lily thanked her and went to the corner. They shared the books and learned some new words. They were happy and friends again. +Tom and Mia were very happy. They were going on a safari with their mom and dad. They wanted to see many animals. They packed their hats, water and snacks in a big bag. + +When they got to the park, they climbed on a big truck. The truck had no roof, so they could see everything. The driver was very nice. He told them the names of the animals and where they lived. He said, "Look, there is a lion. He is the king of the animals. He has a big mane and a loud roar. And there is a zebra. She has black and white stripes. She likes to eat grass and run fast." + +Tom and Mia saw many animals. They saw elephants, giraffes, monkeys, rhinos and more. They took pictures with their mom's camera. They were very excited. They asked the driver many questions. They said, "What is that? How big is it? What does it eat? Can we touch it?" + +But there was one animal that made them laugh. It was a hippo. The hippo was very big and fat. He had a huge mouth and small ears. He lived in the water. He liked to splash and yawn. He seemed very funny. Tom and Mia giggled. They said, "Look at the hippo. He is so funny. He looks like a big balloon. He makes funny noises. He is our favorite animal." + +The driver smiled. He said, "The hippo is funny, but he is also very strong and dangerous. He can bite very hard. You should never go near him. He is not a toy. He is a wild animal." + +Tom and Mia nodded. They understood. They said, "We know. We will not go near him. We will just look at him and laugh. He is a funny hippo." + +The end. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to pretend they were explorers and find new things. Ben had a big truck and Lily had a small doll. + +"Look, Ben, what is that?" Lily said, pointing to a hill. "It looks like a big rock with spikes." + +Ben drove his truck closer to the hill. He saw that it was not a rock, but something else. He gasped. + +"It's a dinosaur, Lily! A real dinosaur!" + +Lily ran to join him. She looked at the dinosaur. It was very big and chubby. It had a long neck and a long tail. It had green scales and brown spikes. It was sleeping in the sun. + +"Wow, it's amazing, Ben! Do you think it's friendly?" Lily asked. + +Ben shrugged. He did not know. He wanted to touch it, but he was also a little scared. + +"Hello, dinosaur," he said softly. "We are Ben and Lily. We are explorers. We come in peace." + +The dinosaur opened one eye. It looked at Ben and Lily. It blinked. It made a low sound. + +"Rrrrrr." + +Ben and Lily smiled. They thought the dinosaur was saying hello. They recognized the sound from their books and movies. They decided the dinosaur was friendly. + +"Can we pet you, dinosaur?" Lily asked. + +The dinosaur nodded. It lifted its head and let Ben and Lily stroke its scales and spikes. It felt warm and rough. It closed its eyes again and made another sound. + +"Prrrrr." + +Ben and Lily giggled. They thought the dinosaur was happy. They played with the dinosaur until it was time to go home. They said goodbye and thanked the dinosaur for being nice. They promised to come back and visit again. + +The dinosaur watched them leave. It smiled. It liked Ben and Lily. They were kind and curious. It was glad to have new friends. It went back to sleep, dreaming of adventures. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They heard a whistle in the air. It was not a bird. It was a mosquito. + +"Go away, mosquito!" Tom said. He waved his hand. The mosquito did not go away. It flew near his ear. It made a loud whistle. Tom did not like it. He felt a sting on his cheek. He cried. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Lily asked. She ran to him. She saw a red spot on his cheek. She blew on it. She hugged him. + +"I'm okay, Lily. Thank you," Tom said. He wiped his tears. He smiled. + +They heard another whistle. It was not a mosquito. It was a man. He was walking on the street. He had a big hat and a long coat. He had a whistle in his mouth. He blew it as he walked. He looked unusual. + +"Who is that man?" Lily asked. She pointed at him. + +"I don't know," Tom said. He shrugged. He did not care. He was happy with Lily. + +They held hands and ran to the swing. They forgot about the mosquito and the man. They had fun in the garden. +Lily and Sam are best friends. They like to play with toys, read books and draw pictures. One day, they find a big box in the attic. Inside the box, there are many old papers and a machine. The machine has buttons and a hole. + +"What is this?" Lily asks. + +"I think it is a printer. It can make copies of papers," Sam says. + +"Can we try it?" Lily says. + +Sam nods. He takes a paper from the box and puts it in the machine. He presses a button. The machine makes a noise and a paper comes out of the hole. It is the same as the one in the box. + +"Wow, it works!" Sam says. + +Lily looks at the paper. It has a picture of a bird and some words. She tries to read the words, but they are hard. + +"What does it say?" Lily asks. + +Sam looks at the words. He knows some of them, but not all. + +"It says...this is a rare bird. It is a secret bird. It lives in a far place. It has a name, but I don't know it," Sam says. + +Lily and Sam are amazed. They have never seen a bird like this. It has bright colors and a long tail. It looks beautiful. + +"Can we keep it?" Lily asks. + +Sam thinks. He knows the paper is old and maybe important. But he also likes the bird and wants to show it to Lily. + +"OK, we can keep it. But we have to be careful. It is a rare and secret bird. We can't let anyone else see it," Sam says. + +Lily and Sam agree. They take the paper and hide it in their backpack. They decide to make a special place for it in their room. They are happy. They have a rare and secret bird that they can print and look at. They are best friends. +Anna and Ben like to play with buttons. They have a big box of buttons of different colors and shapes. They make patterns and pictures with the buttons on the floor. Sometimes they pretend the buttons are coins or jewels or stars. + +One day, Anna finds a shiny silver button that looks like a flower. She thinks it is very pretty and special. She wants to keep it for herself. She puts it in her pocket and does not show it to Ben. + +"Anna, what are you hiding?" Ben asks. He sees Anna's pocket bulge. He is curious and wants to see what is inside. + +"Nothing, nothing," Anna says. She turns away from Ben and tries to act normal. But Ben does not believe her. He tries to grab her pocket and pull it open. + +"Stop it, Ben! Leave me alone!" Anna shouts. She does not want to share her button with Ben. She thinks he might take it or break it or lose it. + +But Ben is stronger and faster than Anna. He manages to open her pocket and sees the silver button. He is amazed and delighted. He thinks it is the most beautiful button he has ever seen. He wants to touch it and play with it. + +"Wow, Anna, this button is awesome! Can I see it? Can I have it?" Ben asks. He reaches for the button and tries to take it from Anna. + +"No, Ben, no! It is mine! I found it! I want to keep it!" Anna cries. She holds the button tightly in her hand and does not let go. She is afraid Ben will snatch it from her. + +They start to tug and pull on the button. They both want to have it. They do not want to share it. They do not listen to each other. They do not care about each other's feelings. + +The button is flexible. It can bend and twist and stretch. But it cannot stand the force of Anna and Ben's pulling. It snaps and breaks in two. The silver petals fall off and scatter on the floor. + +Anna and Ben stop and stare at the broken button. They are shocked and sad. They realize they have ruined their button. They have also hurt their friendship. + +They look at each other and feel sorry. They wish they had been nicer and smarter. They wish they had shared and played together. + +They pick up the pieces of the button and hug each other. They say they are sorry and they forgive each other. They decide to glue the button back together and keep it as a reminder. They promise to be more careful and kind with their buttons and with each other. +Tom and Sue love to ride their bikes to the beach. They like to see the big water and the sand. They also like to play with their red ball and make castles. + +One day, they see some big waves on the water. They are called tide. Tom and Sue are curious. They want to go closer and see the tide. They leave their bikes and their ball and walk to the water. + +"Look, Sue, the tide is coming and going. It is like a game," Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom, it is fun. Let's throw some stones and see how far they go," Sue says. + +They throw some stones and watch them splash. They laugh and clap. They are glad. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their dad. He is calling them. + +"Tom! Sue! Come back! The tide is too strong. It is not safe. Hurry!" + +Tom and Sue are scared. They drop their stones and run to their dad. He hugs them and tells them they are OK. + +"Sorry, dad. We did not know. We just wanted to see the tide," Tom says. + +"I know, son. But the tide can be dangerous. You have to be careful. Next time, stay with me or your mom. OK?" dad says. + +"OK, dad. We are sorry," Sue says. + +Dad smiles and takes them to their bikes and their ball. He says they can still play on the sand, but not too close to the water. Tom and Sue nod and say thank you. They are still glad. They love the beach. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But they want more. They want to buy a big dollhouse and a train set. They need money for that. + +One night, Lily has a dream. She sees a fairy with a wand. The fairy says, "Lily, I can give you money. Just tell me how much you want." Lily thinks hard. She says, "I want ten money." The fairy smiles and waves her wand. Lily sees ten money on her bed. She is very happy. She wakes up Ben and shows him the money. + +Ben is happy too. He says, "Wow, Lily, you are lucky. How did you get the money?" Lily tells him about the dream and the fairy. Ben says, "I want to have a dream like that too. Maybe the fairy will come to me." He closes his eyes and tries to sleep. + +But he cannot sleep. He is too excited. He thinks about the money and the toys. He wants more than Lily. He says, "Lily, can I have some of your money? I want to buy more things." Lily says, "No, Ben, this is my money. The fairy gave it to me. You have to wait for your own dream." + +Ben is angry. He says, "That is not fair. You are selfish. You have to share with me. We are twins." He tries to grab the money from Lily. Lily holds on tight. They start to fight. They pull and push and shout. + +Their mom hears the noise. She comes to their room. She sees the money and the twins. She is surprised and angry. She says, "Lily, Ben, what are you doing? Where did you get this money? This is not real money. This is paper money. You cannot buy anything with this. You are making a mess and a noise. You have to stop fighting and go to sleep." + +Lily and Ben are sad and ashamed. They say, "Sorry, mom. We had a dream. We thought it was real money. We wanted to buy toys." Mom says, "I understand. But dreams are not real. You have to work hard and save money to buy things. And you have to share and be kind to each other. You have many toys and books already. You should be grateful and happy. Now, give me the paper money and go to sleep. I love you both." + +Lily and Ben hug mom and say, "We love you too, mom. We are sorry. We will be good." They give mom the paper money and go to sleep. They cuddle together and feel warm. They do not dream anymore. They are happy. +Lily and Sam were going to the station with their mom. They wanted to see the big trains and hear them go choo-choo. They were very happy and excited. + +But when they got to the station, they saw a lot of people and noise. They had to wait in a long line to get a ticket. They had to hold their mom's hand and not run around. They had to be quiet and not shout. They did not like it at all. + +They started to frown and whine. They said they did not want to see the trains anymore. They wanted to go home and play with their toys. Their mom was sad. She had planned this trip for them as a surprise. She wanted them to have fun and learn something new. + +She knelt down and hugged them. She said, "I know you are bored and tired, but please don't be rude. The station is a busy and noisy place, but it is also a wonderful place. There are so many different trains and people and places to see. If you are patient and polite, you will enjoy it more. And you will make me happy too." + +Lily and Sam looked at their mom's face. They saw that she was sad and disappointed. They felt sorry for making her feel that way. They decided to try to be good and give the station a chance. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We love you. We will be good and see the trains with you." + +Their mom smiled and kissed them. She said, "Thank you, my sweeties. I love you too. Come on, let's go and see the trains. Maybe we can even ride one!" + +They walked to the platform and saw a big, shiny train. It had a loud whistle and a lot of windows. They waved at the people inside and the people waved back. They felt happy and curious. They asked their mom a lot of questions about the train and where it was going. They learned a lot of new things. They had fun. + +The moral of the story is: Sometimes we have to do things that we don't like or understand, but if we are respectful and open-minded, we can discover new things and make others happy. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big frog near the pond. They wanted to catch it and see how it felt. They ran after the frog, but it was very fast. It jumped and sprang from one rock to another. + +Tim and Sam did not give up. They followed the frog until it hid under a bush. They bent down and looked under the bush. They saw the frog sitting on a big mushroom. The mushroom was red and white and looked tasty. + +"Look, Sam, a mushroom!" Tim said. "Let's pick it and eat it. Maybe it will make us big and strong like the frog." + +Sam nodded. He reached out his hand and pulled the mushroom. But as soon as he touched it, he felt a sharp pain. He screamed and dropped the mushroom. His hand was red and swollen. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam cried. "It hurts, Tim, it hurts!" + +Tim was scared. He looked at the mushroom and saw that it had tiny dots on it. He remembered what his mom had told him. Some mushrooms were good, but some were bad. Some were poison and could make you sick or die. + +"Sam, Sam, don't eat it!" Tim shouted. "It's a bad mushroom. It's poison. It will make you sick. We have to go home and tell mom." + +Tim grabbed Sam's hand and ran to their mom. She was sitting on a bench and reading a book. She saw them and was worried. + +"What happened, boys?" she asked. "Why are you crying?" + +Tim told her everything. He showed her the mushroom and Sam's hand. Mom looked at them and frowned. + +"Oh, boys, you were very foolish," she said. "You should never touch or eat anything you don't know. Some things are bitter and nasty and can hurt you. You are lucky it was not worse. Come, let's go to the doctor and get some medicine." + +Mom took them to the doctor. He gave Sam some cream and a bandage for his hand. He also gave them some candy and a hug. He told them to be careful and listen to their mom. + +Tim and Sam learned their lesson. They never chased frogs or picked mushrooms again. They played with their toys and their friends. They were happy and safe. +Sara and Tom went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, but Sara liked the penguins best. They were black and white and had funny beaks. They swam in the water very fast and jumped out on the rocks. + +"Look, Tom, look!" Sara said. "The penguins are so graceful. They do flips and slides and spins. Can we do that too?" + +Tom shook his head. "No, Sara, we can't. We are not penguins. We are people. We can do other things, like run and jump and play." + +Sara was sad. She wanted to be a penguin. She wanted to swim and slide and spin. She looked at the penguins and wished she had wings and feathers. + +"Come on, Sara," Mom said. "It's time to go. We have to see the other animals. Maybe you will like the monkeys or the lions or the elephants." + +Sara nodded. She followed Mom and Dad and Tom. She waved goodbye to the penguins. She still liked them best, but she also liked being a person. She decided she would do both. She would swim and slide and spin in her bath, and she would run and jump and play in the park. She smiled. She was happy. +Tom and Anna liked to play in the attic. They found many old things there, like books, hats, and toys. One day, they saw a big, heavy thing with a long cord. It was an iron. They did not know what it was for. + +"Look, Anna, what is this?" Tom asked, picking up the iron. + +"I don't know, Tom. Maybe it is a toy. Let's try it," Anna said, plugging the cord into the wall. + +The iron made a hissing sound and got very hot. Tom and Anna were curious. They saw a knob on the iron. It had numbers on it. + +"Maybe this is how you play with it. Let's twist it and see what happens," Tom said, turning the knob. + +The iron made a louder hissing sound and steam came out of it. Tom and Anna were scared. They dropped the iron on the floor. The iron burned a hole in the carpet. It also burned Tom's hand. He cried out in pain. + +"Tom, are you okay? What did you do?" Anna asked, worried. + +"I don't know, Anna. It hurt me. It hurt the carpet too. Mom and Dad will be angry. This is not a toy. This is a bad thing," Tom said, holding his hand. + +They heard footsteps on the stairs. It was Mom and Dad. They smelled the smoke and saw the iron and the hole. + +"Tom, Anna, what have you done? This is an expensive iron. It is not a toy. It is for making clothes smooth. You could have started a fire. You could have hurt yourselves. You are in big trouble," Mom said, sternly. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We were just playing. We won't touch it again," Tom and Anna said, sadly. + +Mom and Dad took them to the bathroom. They put some cream on Tom's hand. They hugged them and said they loved them. But they also said they had to learn to be careful and not play with things they did not understand. Tom and Anna nodded. They learned their lesson. They never touched the iron again. +Tom and Mia love to swim in the sea. They have a big boat with their dad. One day, they see a big octopus. The octopus has eight arms and many suckers. It is red and purple and shiny. + +Tom and Mia want to play with the octopus. They jump into the water and swim near it. The octopus is curious and friendly. It wraps its arms around them and tickles them. They giggle and splash. The octopus makes funny noises and bubbles. + +But dad is worried. He thinks the octopus is dangerous. He shouts at Tom and Mia to come back to the boat. He says the octopus can bite or squeeze them. He says they should not touch wild animals. He says they should be careful and listen to him. + +Tom and Mia are sad. They like the octopus. They think it is nice and fun. They do not want to leave it. They say sorry to the octopus and wave goodbye. The octopus waves back and smiles. + +Dad pulls Tom and Mia back to the boat. He hugs them and says he is glad they are safe. He says he is sorry he scared them. He says he knows they are brave and kind. He says he has a surprise for them. He takes out a cake and candles. He says it is their birthday and they should celebrate. Tom and Mia are happy. They forget about the octopus. They blow the candles and eat the cake. They sing and dance. They thank dad for the surprise. They say they love him and the sea. +Tom and Jen like to play in the woods. They find a big cave and want to see what is inside. They take a flashlight and go in. The cave is dark and deep. They see many rocks and bones. + +They want to sort the rocks and bones by size and color. They make piles on the ground. They have fun and forget the time. They do not hear the growl behind them. A big bear lives in the cave. The bear is hungry and angry. It sees Tom and Jen and runs at them. + +Tom and Jen are scared. They scream and drop the flashlight. They try to run to the exit, but the bear is faster. It catches them and bites them. Tom and Jen are hurt and cry. The bear drags them to its den. The cave is quiet and dark. Tom and Jen do not play anymore. +Lily liked to rock on her chair. She rocked back and forth, back and forth, with a big smile on her face. She liked to feel the wind in her hair and the sun on her skin. She liked to see the birds and the clouds in the sky. + +One day, she saw something new in the garden. It was a poppy. A poppy was a flower that was red and soft and pretty. Lily wanted to see the poppy up close. She got off her chair and ran to the garden. She bent down and touched the poppy gently. It felt nice. + +But then she heard a loud noise. It was a dog. A dog was an animal that had fur and a tail and barked. Lily liked dogs, but this dog was not nice. It was big and mean and scary. It ran to the garden and jumped on the poppy. It bit the poppy and tore it apart. It made the poppy sad and hurt. + +Lily was scared and angry. She shouted at the dog. She said, "Go away, dog! You are bad! You hurt the poppy! The poppy was my friend!" But the dog did not listen. It barked and growled and showed its teeth. It wanted to hurt Lily too. + +Lily ran back to her chair. She rocked back and forth, back and forth, very fast. She hoped the dog would leave her alone. She wished the poppy was still there. She felt sad and lonely. + +But then she saw someone else in the garden. It was her dad. Her dad was a person who loved her and cared for her. He was tall and strong and kind. He saw the dog and the poppy and Lily. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. I'm here. I'll make the dog go away. I'll get you a new poppy. I'll hug you and make you happy." + +He did what he said. He chased the dog away. He got a new poppy and planted it in the garden. He hugged Lily and rocked her on his lap. He said, "I love you, Lily. You are brave and sweet and smart. You are my friend." + +Lily smiled and hugged him back. She said, "I love you, dad. You are tall and strong and kind. You are my friend." + +They rocked back and forth, back and forth, together. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their skin. They saw the birds and the clouds in the sky. They saw the poppy and the poppy saw them. They were happy. +Sara and Ben were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old toys and books that their grandma had. They were careful not to break anything or make too much noise. + +"Look, Sara, a cobweb!" Ben said, pointing at a dusty corner. "It's so big and white. Do you think a spider lives there?" + +Sara moved closer to see. She saw a tiny spider hanging from the web. It looked very still and quiet. "Maybe it's sleeping," she said. "Or maybe it's relaxing. Do spiders relax?" + +Ben shrugged. He didn't know much about spiders. He thought they were scary and icky. He wanted to play with something else. "Let's go over there," he said, pulling Sara's hand. "There's a box with some cars and trains. Maybe we can make a track." + +Sara nodded. She liked cars and trains too. She followed Ben to the box. They opened it and found many colorful toys. They started to make a track on the floor. They forgot about the cobweb and the spider. + +The spider watched them from its web. It was not sleeping or relaxing. It was waiting. It was hungry. It hoped that a fly or a moth would come near its web. Then it would catch it and eat it. It didn't care about the children or their toys. It only cared about its food. +Tom is a cat. He likes to play with his toys and sleep in the sun. He does not like to share with his sister, Sue. Sue is a cat too. She is bossy and mean. She always takes Tom's toys and his spot in the sun. + +One day, Tom finds a new toy. It is a ball of yarn. It is soft and fun. Tom plays with the yarn. He rolls it and chases it. He is happy. He does not see Sue coming. + +Sue sees Tom and his yarn. She wants it. She is greedy. She runs to Tom and snatches the yarn. She hisses at Tom. She says, "This is my yarn now. Go away. You are a bad cat." + +Tom is sad and angry. He wants his yarn back. He does not listen to Sue. He jumps on Sue and tries to get the yarn. They fight. They scratch and bite. They make a lot of noise. + +Mom hears the noise. She is a human. She does not like when the cats fight. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom and Sue and the yarn. She is mad. She says, "Stop it. You are naughty cats. You are hurting each other. You cannot play with the yarn anymore. You are in trouble." + +She takes the yarn away. She puts it in a drawer. She stares at Tom and Sue. She says, "You have to go to your beds. You have to stay there until I say so. You have to learn to share and be nice." + +She picks up Tom and Sue. She carries them to their beds. She puts them down. She closes the door. She leaves. + +Tom and Sue are in their beds. They are alone. They are bored. They are sorry. They look at each other. They have no toys. They have no sun. They have no yarn. They have no fun. They have a bad ending. +Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. But sometimes they did not agree on how to play. Lily was bossy and wanted to tell Ben what to do. Ben did not like that. + +"Give me that block, Ben. It is mine. I need it for my tower," Lily said. + +"No, Lily. It is not yours. It is mine. I found it first. I need it for my car," Ben said. + +They both pulled the block and did not let go. They pulled harder and harder. Then, snap! The block broke in two. Lily and Ben were shocked. They looked at the broken block and felt sad. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to break your block," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I did not mean to be bossy," Lily said. + +They hugged and said they were sorry. Then they looked for a way to fix the block. They found some tape and a patch. They put the tape and the patch on the block and made it whole again. They smiled and decided to share the block. + +"Let's make a tower and a car together, Lily," Ben said. + +"OK, Ben. That sounds fun. You are a good friend," Lily said. + +They played happily with their blocks and did not fight anymore. They learned to be kind and to share. +One day, a boy named Tom went to the park with his mom. He saw a big tree with red apples. He wanted to pick an apple and eat it. He asked his mom, "Can I pick an apple, please?" + +His mom said, "Yes, but be careful. The tree is very tall and the apples are high up. You need a ladder or a stick to reach them." + +Tom looked around and saw a long stick on the ground. He picked it up and ran to the tree. He tried to poke an apple with the stick, but it was too hard. He pushed harder and harder, but the apple did not fall. + +Suddenly, he heard a loud noise. He looked up and saw an enormous bird flying out of the tree. It had a big beak and sharp claws. It was angry that Tom disturbed its nest. It screeched and swooped down at Tom. + +Tom was scared and dropped the stick. He ran to his mom and hugged her. The bird followed him and tried to peck him. His mom shouted, "Go away, you nasty bird! Leave my son alone!" + +She picked up a stone and threw it at the bird. The bird dodged the stone and flew away. Tom and his mom were safe. + +Tom said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted an apple." + +His mom said, "It's okay, Tom. I know you were hungry. But next time, ask me before you pick something from a tree. You never know what might be hiding there." + +She gave him a kiss and a hug. She took him to a bench and gave him a sandwich and a juice. Tom ate and drank and felt better. He learned his lesson and never picked anything from a tree again. +Lily liked to design things with her toys. She had many blocks, dolls, cars and animals. She liked to make houses, shops, roads and farms. She used her imagination and had fun. + +One day, she found a fork in the kitchen. She thought it was a funny toy. It had four shiny teeth and a long handle. She wondered what she could design with it. She took it to her room and looked at her toys. + +She saw her teddy bear and had an idea. She said to the bear, "You need a new hairdo. I can design one for you with this fork. It will make you look tough and cool." She put the fork on the bear's head and combed his fur with it. The bear looked silly, but Lily liked it. + +She showed her mom what she had done. Mom smiled and said, "That's a very creative design, Lily. But you know, forks are not toys. They are for eating. You should not play with them. They can hurt you or your toys. Please give me the fork and find another toy to design with." + +Lily felt sad. She liked the fork. She thought it was a good toy. She did not want to hurt anyone. She gave the fork to mom and said, "Sorry, mom. I did not know. Can I keep the bear's hairdo?" + +Mom hugged her and said, "Of course, you can. The bear's hairdo is very special. It shows how much you love him and how clever you are. But next time, please ask me before you take something from the kitchen. OK?" + +Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. Thank you. I love you." She went back to her room and played with her bear. She was happy. She still liked to design things, but she learned to be careful. +Lily was a daughter who liked to match things. She matched her socks, her toys, her books, and even her food. She had a big box of match cards with different pictures on them. She liked to play with them and find the pairs. + +One day, she asked her mom if she could play with the match cards in the living room. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful. The living room had a lot of things that could break or get dirty. Lily said she would be careful and took her box of match cards to the living room. + +She spread the cards on the floor and started to look for the matches. She found a card with a cat and a card with a dog. She put them together and said, "Cat and dog are friends." She found a card with a sun and a card with a moon. She put them together and said, "Sun and moon are bright." She found a card with a flower and a card with a bee. She put them together and said, "Flower and bee are sweet." + +She was having so much fun that she did not notice that she was getting close to the coffee table. The coffee table had a vase with flowers and a picture frame with a photo of her family. Lily reached for a card with a star and a card with a rocket. She put them together and said, "Star and rocket are fast." But as she did, she bumped into the coffee table and made the vase and the picture frame fall to the floor. They broke into pieces and made a loud noise. + +Lily was scared and sad. She did not mean to break the vase and the picture frame. She started to cry and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Her mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and Lily crying. She was not happy, but she was not angry. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you did not mean to break the vase and the picture frame. But you have to be more careful when you play in the living room. There are things that can break or get dirty. You have to watch where you are and what you are doing. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry. I will be more careful next time." Her mom smiled and said, "I love you, Lily. You are a good daughter. But you have to learn from your mistakes. Now, let's clean up this mess and see if we can fix the vase and the picture frame. Maybe we can find some glue and some tape. And maybe we can find some more matches for your cards. How about that?" + +Lily smiled and said, "I love you, mom. Thank you. That sounds like fun. Let's do that." They cleaned up the mess and found some glue and some tape. They fixed the vase and the picture frame as best as they could. They also found some more matches for Lily's cards. They played together and had a good time. Lily learned to be more careful when she played in the living room. She also learned that her mom was always there to help her and love her. She was happy and proud. She matched her mom. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the pool. They had many toys to splash with, like balls and ducks and rings. But sometimes they got bored of the same games. + +One day, Lily had an idea. She saw a big book on the table that mom was reading. It was a novel, with many words and pictures. Lily wanted to know what it was about. + +"Ben, let's play with the novel!" she said. "Maybe it has a story we can act out." + +Ben was curious too. He followed Lily to the table and helped her carry the novel to the pool. They opened it and looked at the pages. + +"Look, there is a princess and a dragon!" Lily said, pointing at a picture. "I will be the princess and you will be the dragon. And the pool will be the castle." + +"OK, but how do we play?" Ben asked. + +"We splash each other and make noises!" Lily said. "The princess tries to escape and the dragon tries to catch her. And we can use the novel as a shield or a sword." + +They started to splash and roar and giggle. They had so much fun that they did not notice mom coming out of the house. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my novel?" mom asked, looking shocked. "That is not a toy, that is a book. You are ruining it with water!" + +Lily and Ben stopped and looked at mom. They felt sorry for making her angry. + +"We are sorry, mom," they said together. "We just wanted to play a new game. We did not know it was a bad thing to splash the novel." + +Mom sighed and smiled. She was not really angry, just surprised. She knew they were just curious and creative. + +"It's OK, my loves," she said. "But next time, please ask me before you take something that is not yours. And novels are for reading, not for splashing. How about I read you a story from the novel instead?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They liked stories. They got out of the pool and dried themselves. They cuddled with mom on the couch and listened to her read the novel. They imagined they were the princess and the dragon, but in a different way. They were happy and lazy. +Ben and Sam were playing with their trucks in the park. They liked to roll them on the grass and make loud noises. They pretended they were driving to different places and having fun. + +One day, they saw a big truck on the road. It was red and shiny and had a loud horn. Ben and Sam wanted to see it closer. They ran to the fence and looked at the truck. + +"Wow, look at that truck!" Ben said. "It's so big and cool!" + +"Can we go and touch it?" Sam asked. + +Ben looked around. He did not see any grown-ups. He felt brave and curious. + +"Maybe we can," he said. "Come on, let's go!" + +He climbed over the fence and ran to the truck. Sam followed him. He felt fearful and excited. + +They reached the truck and touched its wheels and doors. They felt hard and smooth. They climbed on the truck and sat in the front seat. They saw many buttons and levers. They wanted to try them. + +Ben pushed a button. The truck started to move. It rolled forward on the road. Ben and Sam screamed. They did not know how to stop the truck. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. + +But no one heard them. The truck rolled faster and faster. It went out of the park and into the busy street. It hit many cars and people. It made a lot of noise and smoke. It was a big mess. + +Ben and Sam were very scared. They wished they had not touched the truck. They wished they had stayed in the park. They wished they had listened to their grown-ups. + +But it was too late. The truck rolled and rolled until it crashed into a big wall. It made a loud boom. It broke into many pieces. Ben and Sam broke too. They did not play with trucks anymore. +Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Mom said, "Do not touch the water. It is deep and cold. Stay near me." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They liked to watch the ducks swim and quack. They threw some bread for them. The ducks came closer and ate the bread. Lily smiled and clapped. + +Then Ben saw a shiny rail near the pond. He wanted to touch it. He walked to the rail and reached his hand. Mom did not see him. She was busy with Lily. + +"Ben, come back!" Lily shouted. She saw Ben touch the rail. She was scared. The rail was wet and slippery. Ben could fall into the pond. + +Ben heard Lily. He turned around and slipped. He cried out. Mom heard him and ran to him. She grabbed his arm and pulled him back. She hugged him and said, "Ben, are you okay? You should not touch the rail. It is dangerous. You could have fallen into the pond." + +Ben was sorry. He said, "I am okay, Mom. I am sorry. I wanted to touch the rail. It was shiny." + +Mom said, "I know, Ben. But you have to be careful. The pond is deep and cold. You could get hurt. Next time, listen to me and stay near me. Okay?" + +Ben nodded. He said, "Okay, Mom. I will listen to you. I will stay near you." + +Mom smiled and said, "Good. I love you, Ben. And I love you, Lily. You are both my good children. Now let's go and have some ice cream. How does that sound?" + +Ben and Lily cheered. They said, "Yes, Mom. We love you too. And we love ice cream. Let's go!" + +They held Mom's hands and walked to the ice cream truck. They forgot about the rail and the pond. They only thought about the ice cream and the ducks. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to make different shapes with the blocks. Lily made a tower with many blocks. She was proud of her tower. She said, "Look, Ben, I made a very tall tower. It is impressive, right?" + +Ben looked at Lily's tower. He was not impressed. He said, "No, Lily, your tower is not impressive. It is boring. It is just a straight shape. I can make a better shape with my blocks. Watch me." + +Ben took some blocks and started to make a shape. He made a shape that looked like a star. He used many colors and angles. He said, "Look, Lily, I made a star. It is impressive, right?" + +Lily looked at Ben's star. She was not impressed. She said, "No, Ben, your star is not impressive. It is messy. It is not a real shape. It has too many points. I like my tower better. It is a real shape. It is impressive." + +Ben and Lily started to argue. They both thought their shape was impressive. They both wanted the other to agree. They both insisted that their shape was the best. They raised their voices and said, "My shape is impressive! No, my shape is impressive!" + +Mom heard them arguing. She came to see what was wrong. She saw their shapes. She smiled. She said, "Lily and Ben, you both made impressive shapes. They are different, but they are both creative and fun. You should be proud of your shapes. And you should also be nice to each other. You can share your blocks and make more shapes together. That would be more fun, right?" + +Lily and Ben looked at Mom. They looked at each other. They felt a little silly. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben. You are right. We can share our blocks and make more shapes together. That would be more fun." + +Mom hugged them. She said, "That's good. I'm glad you are friends again. Now, let's see what shapes you can make together. I'm sure they will be impressive." +Sara and Ben like to draw with ink. They have many colors of ink and many papers. They draw animals, flowers, cars and houses. They are happy when they draw. + +One day, Sara and Ben find a new ink in the drawer. It is black and shiny. They want to try it. They open the ink and dip their pens in it. They start to draw on a big paper. + +"Look, Sara, I draw a cat!" Ben says. He shows his cat to Sara. It has big eyes and a long tail. + +"Nice, Ben, I like your cat!" Sara says. She draws a sun next to the cat. It has yellow rays and a smile. + +They draw more things with the black ink. They draw a tree, a bird, a star and a moon. They fill the paper with their drawings. They are proud of their work. + +They show their paper to their mom. She smiles and hugs them. She says, "What a beautiful picture! You are very good at drawing with ink!" + +She looks at the ink bottle. She sees a label on it. It says, "This ink belongs to Dad. Do not use it. It is permanent." + +She gasps and says, "Oh no, this ink is not for drawing. It is for writing important things. It does not come off. It stays on the paper forever." + +Sara and Ben are confused. They do not know what permanent means. They think it is a nice word. They say, "We like permanent ink. It makes our picture last." + +Mom sighs and says, "Well, I guess you do. But next time, please ask before you use something that does not belong to you. Dad might be upset if he sees his ink is gone." + +Sara and Ben nod. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We did not know. We will ask next time." + +Mom says, "It's okay. I love you. And I love your picture. But let's put it away for now. Maybe we can find a place to hang it later." + +She takes the paper and the ink and puts them in a closet. She hopes Dad will not notice. She thinks, "Maybe he will like their picture too. It is very nice." +Ben and Lily liked to play in the big house. They liked to run and hide and find new rooms. One day, they found a door that was locked. They wondered what was inside. + +"Maybe it is a secret chamber with treasure and toys," Lily said. + +"Maybe it is a bad place with monsters and traps," Ben said. + +They tried to open the door, but it was too hard. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They saw a big window next to the door. It had a crack in it. + +"Maybe we can break the window and go inside," Lily said. + +"Maybe we should not do that. It is not our house. It is not nice to break things," Ben said. + +But Lily did not listen. She picked up a rock and threw it at the window. The window shattered and made a loud noise. Glass pieces scattered everywhere. Ben and Lily were scared. + +They heard footsteps coming up the stairs. It was the owner of the house. He was angry. + +"Who did this? Who broke my window and my chamber?" he shouted. + +Ben and Lily ran away. They hid under a bed in another room. They hoped he would not find them. They wished they had not been so curious. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that some doors are better left closed. +Lily and Ben like to play with their dog Max. Max is a big, friendly dog who likes to run and jump and lick their faces. Sometimes, Max also likes to twist his body and chase his tail. Lily and Ben think this is very funny and they laugh and clap. + +One day, they go to the park with Max and their mom. They see a lot of other dogs and people in the park. Some of the dogs are small and some are big. Some are black and some are white. Some are fluffy and some are smooth. Lily and Ben want to pet all the dogs, but their mom tells them to ask first. + +They see a dog that looks like Max, but has brown spots instead of black. He is twisting his body and chasing his tail, just like Max. Lily and Ben run to him and say, "Hi, dog! Can we pet you? You are so cute and funny!" + +The dog stops twisting and looks at them. He wags his tail and barks. He seems happy to see them. His owner, a nice lady, smiles and says, "Sure, you can pet him. His name is Spot. He likes to twist and chase his tail, just like your dog. What is your dog's name?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Our dog is Max. He is very friendly and playful. Do you want to play with us and our dog?" + +The lady says, "Yes, that would be nice. Let's go to the grass and let them run and play together." + +Lily and Ben are very happy. They go to the grass with their mom, Max, Spot, and the lady. They watch the dogs twist and chase their tails, and run and jump and lick their faces. They pet the dogs and talk to the lady. They have a lot of fun in the park. They make new friends with Spot and the lady. They love their dog Max and all the other dogs. They think twisting is a very fun thing to do. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play dress-up. They had a big box of clothes in their room. They had hats, scarves, dresses, shirts, pants, shoes, and more. They liked to mix and match the clothes and pretend to be different people. + +One day, they decided to be pirates. They put on striped shirts, bandanas, eye patches, and belts. They also found a toy sword and a hook. They looked at themselves in the mirror and said, "Arrr, matey! We are the best pirates ever!" + +They went to the living room, where their mom was reading a book. They said, "Mom, look at us! We are pirates! We are going to find treasure and sail the seas!" They waved their sword and hook and made pirate noises. + +Their mom smiled and gazed at them. She thought they looked amazing. She said, "Wow, you are very creative and brave, my little pirates. I love your clothes and your imagination. But be careful not to hurt yourselves or the furniture with your weapons." + +Lily and Max said, "Don't worry, mom. We are careful and nice pirates. We only fight bad guys and share our treasure with our friends. Can we show you our treasure map?" They ran to their room and brought back a paper with crayon drawings of islands, stars, and X marks. + +Their mom said, "Sure, show me your treasure map. I'm curious to see where you are going and what you will find." She put down her book and joined them on the floor. They showed her their map and told her their story. They had a lot of fun playing dress-up and pretending to be pirates. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the town park. One day, they see a big seat in the park. It is red and shiny. They want to sit on it. + +"Let me sit on it first!" Tom says. He runs to the seat. + +"No, me!" Anna says. She runs after him. + +They push and pull each other. They are angry. They do not share. + +A man comes to the park. He is hungry. He has no food. He sees the seat. He thinks it is a car. He wants to drive it. + +He goes to the seat. He tries to open the door. He can't. He sees Tom and Anna. + +"Hello, kids," he says. "Can I sit on this seat?" + +Tom and Anna stop fighting. They look at the man. He is dirty and sad. + +"No, you can't," Tom says. "This is our seat. We found it." + +"Please, I just want to rest for a while," the man says. "I have nowhere to go." + +Tom and Anna feel sorry for the man. They remember their mom and dad. They have a home and food. They are lucky. + +"OK, you can sit on it," Anna says. "But only for a little bit." + +"Thank you, kids," the man says. He smiles. He sits on the seat. He feels warm and safe. + +Tom and Anna sit on the grass. They watch the man. They are not angry anymore. They are happy. + +They learn to be kind and generous. They learn to share. They learn to be grateful. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. But sometimes they disagree. They disagree about what to play, or who gets the red car, or how to make a tower. When they disagree, they make a lot of noise. They shout and cry and stomp their feet. + +One day, Lily and Ben go to the park with their moms. The park is lively. There are many kids and dogs and birds. Lily and Ben see a big slide. They both want to go on the slide. But there is only one slide. They disagree. They make a lot of noise. They shout and cry and stomp their feet. + +Their moms hear the noise. They are not happy. They tell Lily and Ben to stop. They say they have to share and take turns. They say if they don't, they will have to go home. Lily and Ben don't want to go home. They want to play in the park. They look at each other. They think. They decide to agree. They agree to share and take turns. They say sorry and hug. They go on the slide. They have fun. They make a different kind of noise. They laugh and cheer and clap their hands. + +Their moms hear the noise. They are happy. They smile and nod. They say they are proud of Lily and Ben. They say they are good friends. They say they can stay in the park. Lily and Ben are happy. They thank their moms. They play some more. They agree. They make a good noise. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a big tub of water and some cups and spoons. They liked to splash and pour and stir the water. It was fun. + +But Tom was selfish. He wanted all the water for himself. He took Lily's cup and spoon and put them in his tub. He said, "This is my water. You can't have any." Lily was sad and angry. She wanted to play with the water too. + +She tried to get her cup and spoon back, but Tom pushed her away. He said, "Go away. This is my water." Lily cried. She did not like Tom. He was mean. + +Then, Lily had an idea. She saw a hose near the tub. She ran to the hose and turned it on. She aimed it at Tom and his tub. She said, "This is my water. You can't have any." + +She sprayed Tom with the water. He was wet and cold. He blinked his eyes and shouted, "Stop it. Stop it. That's not fair." He dropped Lily's cup and spoon and ran away. He did not like Lily. She was mean. + +Lily smiled. She picked up her cup and spoon and put them in her tub. She said, "This is my water. You can have some." She played with the water. It was fun. +Sam was a dog who liked to chew. He chewed on shoes, socks, toys and books. But his favorite thing to chew was newspaper. He liked the sound of the paper ripping and the smell of the ink. He did not care if the newspaper was old or new, he just wanted to chew. + +One day, Sam saw a newspaper on the table. It was big and shiny and had many pages. Sam thought it was the best newspaper ever. He jumped on the table and grabbed the newspaper with his teeth. He ran to his bed and started to chew. + +But Sam did not know that the newspaper was very important. It was his owner's homework. His owner was a student who had to write a report on the newspaper. He had spent many hours reading and writing and had to turn it in the next day. He had left the newspaper on the table to get a drink. + +When his owner came back, he saw Sam chewing on his homework. He was very angry and sad. He shouted at Sam and took the newspaper away. He tried to fix it, but it was too late. The paper was torn and wet and unreadable. He did not have another copy. He did not know what to do. + +Sam felt bad. He did not mean to make his owner angry and sad. He did not know that the newspaper was important. He just wanted to chew. He realized that he had been foolish. He wished he had not chewed on the newspaper. He wished he had chewed on something else. He wished he had listened to his owner, who always told him not to chew on things that did not belong to him. He learned his lesson. He decided to be a good dog and only chew on his own toys. He hoped his owner would forgive him and love him again. +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play in their yard. They had a swing, a slide, and a sandbox. They also had a big dog named Max who liked to run and jump with them. + +One day, they saw a new family move in next door. They had a little boy and a little girl, and they had a lot of toys. They had a bike, a scooter, a trampoline, and a pool. Sam and Lily observed them from their yard and felt envious. + +"Look at their toys, Lily. They have so much fun. I wish we had a pool too," Sam said. + +"Me too, Sam. And a trampoline. And a bike. And a scooter," Lily said. + +They sighed and looked at their own toys. They felt bored and sad. + +Max noticed their mood and barked. He ran to them and licked their faces. He wagged his tail and nudged them to play. He grabbed a ball and threw it to them. + +"Hey, Max. You want to play?" Sam asked. + +"Of course he does. He loves us. And we love him," Lily said. + +They smiled and threw the ball back to Max. They ran and jumped with him. They laughed and had fun. + +They forgot about the new family and their toys. They realized they had everything they needed in their yard.

She was always hopping around, looking for new exciting places to explore. + +One day, Laura was hopping through a field when she saw a folder. It was lying on the ground, next to some beautiful wild flowers. She instantly knew she had to investigate it. + +“What is this?†she thought to herself as she began to pick it up. + +It was full of fun-looking games! She quickly opened it up and saw lots of pictures and different coloured shapes. + +Before Laura could explore these further, she heard a voice above her say “Oh, what a beautiful folder!†+ +Laura looked up and saw an old wise owl sitting above her on a tree branch. “How did this folder get here?†she asked. + +“Oh, it must have sprung from the magical tree!†said the old owl, pointing at the now magical-looking tree. + +Laura thanked the owl and began to explore the folder some more. With every hop around the field, she seemed to fit more and more games inside it! + +The End. +It was a brilliant day in the yard. The sun was shining and it was the perfect day to play. But the yard had to be cleaned first. + +Mommy got out the broom and put it in the little girl's hands. Together, the little girl and Mommy swept the dirt away, brushing it off the stones and into the dustpan. + +Then Mommy got the hose, and the little girl watched as Mommy sprayed the water all over the yard. The water made everything sparkle and it was so exciting! + +When the yard was all cleaned up, it looked brilliant. The little girl was so proud. Now, she could play in the yard just the way she wanted. +Once upon a time, there was a monster who lived in a cave. He was very creative and he liked to think of all kinds of wonderful things. + +One day, the monster was feeling lonely. He went out of his cave to look for a friend.

Her parents were very worried, and they went out to look for her. + +Just as they found Daisy, it began to rain. Daisy's decorations were ruined, and she was very sad. + +The moral of the story is that you should always obey your parents and follow their instructions. Decorating can be fun, but it shouldn't come first in life. +Once upon a time there was a small bunny. He was feeling very lonely and wanted to find friends. So, one day the bunny hopped around in search of someone to play with. After hopping around for some time, he finally found a group of other bunnies. + +He hopped over to them and said, "Hi!

Tommy was so excited to go. + +When they got to the park, they saw lots of children playing. Tommy ran around and started playing with all the other children. When it was time to leave, Tommy's mom said, "Let's make one more stop before going home." + +She took Tommy to the store to buy a potato. Tommy was very excited, he loved potatoes!

The rain was very mild, but it made the man's flashlight stop working. + +The man was worried and said, "Oh no! My flashlight is not working. What do I do now?" + +But the sky was getting dark and the man realised he needed a light to fly. So he looked around and saw a little star in the sky. + +He said, "I can fly to that star! I can be up in the sky in no time!" + +But then the star went away and the man was left in darkness. He could not fly up to the sky anymore and he was very sad. He tried to find his way back home, but he never made it. + +The man never made it home and he was never seen again. +Once upon a time, there were two cheetahs, one named Fast and one named Slow.

All of a sudden, one of Fast's legs got caught in some thorny bushes. He was stuck! + +Slow recognized the problem and stopped to help his friend. He said, 'Let me help you, Fast. You can stay still and I will get you out of this place. + +Fast was feeling embarrassed, but he was happy that Slow had stopped to help him. After Slow freed Fast, Fast thanked him. + +Slow then said, 'Fast, I know it might be tempting to always race ahead and go at a very fast pace, but sometimes it is more important to be careful and stay safe. We are living in a modern world with lots of dangers. We must not forget to be careful and stay safe.' + +Fast and Slow smiled at each other and agreed never to forget the importance of following the right path. They thanked each other for the valuable lesson and raced off together in the Savannah. +Once upon a time there was a naughty little boy. His name was Jack and he loved playing outside. One day, he saw a big pond and he just had to explore it! He ran up to the pond and he smiled. + +But then Jack noticed something strange. His best friend, Sally, was standing near the pond too.

Could you help me with your coin?" + +John wanted to help Mr, but he was sad. He knew his coin was special, and he didn't want to give it away. + +John said "I'm sorry, I can't give it to you". The man looked very disappointed. + +Mr nodded, and then he walked away. John started to cry. He realised he could have used the coin to help someone in need, instead of keeping it for himself. He wanted to go back in time and do the right thing, but it was too late. +Once upon a time, there lived a Strong Bear in the forest. He spent his days playing, eating, and roaming about in the sunshine. One day, he was out for a walk when he heard a buzzing sound. He looked up and saw a mosquito. The mosquito was buzzing around his head, so the Strong Bear decided to swat it away. + +But the mosquito was quick! It evaded the bear's swipe and escaped into the nearby woods. After a few minutes of chasing, the bear finally caught it and cupped it in his paws. He saw that the mosquito was rather large, and he wondered what would happen if he let it go. + +The Strong Bear then had an idea. He decided to release the mosquito back into the woods, and watch what would happen. + +The mosquito flew back into the woods and soon enough other mosquitoes started coming out.

Its eyes were big and it was crying and wagging its tail. + +The girl had been so selfish and was not used to sharing anything. But, seeing the puppy, she felt like something was melting inside of her. She smiled and slowly she lay down next to the puppy and hugged it. + +The puppy licked her face and snuggled in close.

It was a very big fountain and it was full of lovely sparkling water. One day, two children named Lucy and John decided to attach a rope to the fountain. + +John said: “Let’s attach this rope to the fountain and see what happens!†+ +So they attached the rope with a big knot. Then they watched the fountain. Suddenly, the fountain went really high in the air and it started to spray the water everywhere. There were big puddles everywhere! + +John said: “Oops! I guess that was too much!†+ +Lucy said: “Don’t worry, it’s ok.

I'll be back tomorrow!" + +And the next day, sure enough, the little girl came back to the beach and poked the lazy seal again.
