Tom said. + +They both smiled and got out of the sack. They decided to play another game. They had a lot of fun together. They were jolly twins. +Anna was playing in the garden with her new ball. She liked to throw it high and catch it again. She saw a spider on a flower. The spider was small and black and had eight legs. + +"Hello, spider," Anna said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +The spider did not answer. It was busy spinning a web. Anna watched the spider make a circle of silk. She thought it was pretty. + +"Can I touch your web?" Anna asked. + +The spider shook its head. It did not want Anna to break its web. It had worked hard to make it. + +"Please, just a little," Anna said. She reached out her hand. + +The spider got scared. It jumped off the flower and landed on Anna's ball. The ball was round and bouncy. The spider felt it move under him. + +"Whoa!" the spider said. He did not like the ball. He wanted to get off. + +Anna saw the spider on her ball. She thought it was funny. She laughed and picked up the ball. + +"Look, spider, you can spring with me!" Anna said. She threw the ball up and down. The spider bounced with the ball. He felt dizzy and sick. + +"Stop, stop, please stop!" the spider said. He wanted to get off. + +Anna heard the spider. She felt sorry for him. She stopped throwing the ball and put it down. The spider crawled off the ball and ran away. + +"Bye, spider," Anna said. "Sorry I scared you. Maybe we can play another day." + +The spider did not answer. He was glad to be away from the ball. He looked for another flower to make a new web. He hoped Anna would not find him again. +Anna and Ben are playing in their room. They have many toys and books, but they want to make something new. They see a big white door in the corner. It is not a real door, but a piece of wood that dad uses for his work. + +"Let's make a house with the door!" Anna says. "We can put it on the floor and pretend it is a wall." + +"OK!" Ben says. "But we need something to support the door, or it will fall down." + +They look around and find some pillows and blankets. They put them under the door to make it stand up. Then they cover the door with a blanket to make a roof. They crawl inside their house and feel cozy and happy. + +"Look, we have a window!" Anna says, pointing to a hole in the blanket. "We can see the sky and the birds." + +"Look, we have a doorbell!" Ben says, tapping on the door. "We can ring it and invite our friends." + +They take turns ringing the doorbell and pretending to be different people. They have fun making voices and stories. + +But then they hear a loud noise. It is dad, coming to their room. He sees the door on the floor and the mess of pillows and blankets. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my door?" he asks, sounding angry. "That is not a toy, that is for my work. You could have hurt yourself or broken it. You have to put it back where it belongs." + +Anna and Ben feel scared and sad. They did not mean to make dad mad. They crawl out of their house and say sorry. + +"We were just playing, dad," Anna says. "We wanted to make a house with the door." + +"We did not know it was your door, dad," Ben says. "We thought it was a fun thing to use." + +Dad sighs and looks at them. He sees their innocent faces and their creative minds. He remembers how he used to play with things when he was a kid. He softens his voice and smiles. + +"I understand, kids," he says. "You have a lot of imagination and you like to make things. But you have to be careful and respectful with other people's things. The door is not a toy, it is a tool. It is important for my work and it could be dangerous for you. Next time, ask me before you use it, OK?" + +"OK, dad," Anna and Ben say. "We are sorry. We will not use it again." + +Dad hugs them and kisses them. He helps them put the door back in the corner and tidy up the pillows and blankets. He tells them he loves them and he is proud of them. + +"Can we still play in our room, dad?" Anna asks. + +"Of course, you can," dad says. "But use your own toys and books, OK? And if you want to make a house, I can help you. Maybe we can find some cardboard boxes or some old sheets. How does that sound?" + +"Yay!" Anna and Ben say. "That sounds great, dad. Thank you!" + +They hug dad and run to their toys and books. They start to make a new house with their own things. They are happy and they have learned something. Dad watches them and smiles. He is happy too. He has learned something too. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with clay. They can make many things with clay. They can make balls, snakes, stars and more. + +One day, they want to make faces with clay. They roll big balls for the heads. They make eyes, ears and mouths. But they do not know how to make noses. + +"How do we make noses?" Tom asks Mia. + +"I do not know," Mia says. "Maybe we can look at our noses and copy them." + +They look at their noses. They touch their noses. They try to make noses with clay. But it is hard. Their noses are too small or too big or too funny. + +They laugh at their noses. They are not good at making noses. But they do not mind. They have fun with clay. + +They show their faces to their teacher. Their teacher smiles. She likes their faces. + +"Your faces are very creative," she says. "But why are your noses so slow?" + +Tom and Mia look at their noses. They see that their noses are falling off their faces. The clay is too soft and wet. It does not stick well. + +They giggle. They say, "Our noses are slow because we are slow at making noses." +Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play cops and robbers. They had toy guns that looked like real ones, but they did not shoot anything. They pretended to chase each other and make loud noises. One day, they found a real gun in a trash can. It was shiny and heavy and had a hole at the end. They did not know it was a real gun. They thought it was a toy gun. + +Tim picked up the gun and pointed it at Sam. He said, "Freeze, robber! I am the cop and you are under arrest!" Sam laughed and said, "No, you are not! I am the cop and you are the robber!" They argued and pushed each other. They did not observe that the gun had a switch on the side. The switch made the gun ready to shoot. + +Sam grabbed the gun from Tim and pulled the trigger. He did not mean to hurt Tim. He just wanted to scare him. But the gun made a loud bang and a bullet came out of the hole. The bullet hit Tim in the chest. Tim fell down and did not move. He did not make any noise. He did not breathe. He was dead. + +Sam was shocked and scared. He dropped the gun and ran away. He did not know what to do. He did not tell anyone what happened. He hoped it was a bad dream. But it was not a dream. It was real. + +The next day, the police came and found Tim's body and the gun. They asked questions and looked for clues. They found Sam and took him to the station. They told him he had killed Tim. They told him he had to go to jail. They told him he had done a very bad thing. + +Sam cried and said he was sorry. He said he did not know it was a real gun. He said he did not want to kill Tim. He said he just wanted to play. But it was too late. He could not bring Tim back. He could not undo what he had done. He had to face the consequences. + +The moral of the story is: Do not play with guns. Guns are not toys. Guns are dangerous. Guns can kill. Guns can ruin your life. If you see a gun, do not touch it. Tell an adult. Be careful. Be smart. Be safe. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a hammer in the garage. They think it is fun to hit things with the hammer. + +They hit the wall, the table, the chair, and the lamp. They make a lot of noise and a lot of mess. They do not see their mom coming. + +Mom is angry. She sees the hammer and the broken things. She says, "Who did this? Why did you do this? You are very naughty!" + +Tim and Sam are scared. They do not want to get in trouble. They do not know what to say. They look at each other. + +Tim is older than Sam. He thinks he can blame Sam. He says, "It was Sam. He took the hammer and hit everything. I tried to stop him, but he was too fast." + +Sam is younger than Tim. He thinks Tim is lying. He says, "No, it was Tim. He took the hammer and hit everything. I tried to tell him to stop, but he was too slow." + +Mom is not fooled. She knows Tim and Sam are both lying. She says, "I do not believe you. You are both guilty. You have to say sorry and help me clean up. And you have to share the hammer. It is not only yours. It is for everyone." + +Tim and Sam are ashamed. They know they did wrong. They say sorry and help mom clean up. They learn to be honest and to share. They do not play with the hammer anymore. They play with their other toys. They are happy. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play in the yard. They have a big ball, a swing, and a slide. They also have a dog named Spot. Spot is very friendly and likes to run and jump. + +One day, Lily and Max want to play with the ball. They throw it to each other and catch it. Spot wants to play too. He runs after the ball and tries to bite it. Lily and Max laugh and say, "No, Spot, this is our ball!" + +But Spot does not listen. He grabs the ball with his teeth and runs away. He thinks it is a game. Lily and Max chase him and shout, "Spot, give us the ball! Bad dog!" + +Spot runs to the other side of the yard. He sees a hole in the fence. He thinks it is a good place to hide. He jumps through the hole and takes the ball with him. He does not know that the hole leads to the street. + +Lily and Max stop and look at the hole. They are scared. They know that the street is dangerous. There are cars and trucks and people. They do not want Spot to get hurt. They also do not want to lose their ball. + +They run to the house and tell their mom. Their mom is angry and worried. She says, "Why did you let Spot take the ball? Why did you not watch him? You know he is not allowed to go to the street!" + +Lily and Max feel guilty. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We just wanted to play with the ball. We did not mean to make Spot run away. Please, can you help us find him?" + +Their mom sighs and says, "OK, let's go. But you have to be careful and stay close to me. And next time, do not leave the ball in the yard. Spot might think it is his toy." + +They go to the street and look for Spot. They hope he is OK. They hope he still has the ball. They hope he will come back. They love Spot. He is their best friend. +Lily and Tom are going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. They are very happy. They need to pack their bags. Mom helps them. + +"Let's pack your clothes first," Mom says. "What do you want to wear?" + +"I want to wear my red dress and my blue shoes," Lily says. + +"I want to wear my green shirt and my brown pants," Tom says. + +Mom puts their clothes in their bags. Then she says, "Do you want to pack some toys?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom say. They run to their room. They choose their favorite toys. Lily picks her doll and her book. Tom picks his car and his ball. + +They come back to Mom. Mom says, "Good job! You are very tidy. You only picked two toys each. Now we have room for other things." + +"What other things?" Lily asks. + +Mom smiles. She says, "Some snacks, some water, and some cream." + +"Cream?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, cream. Grandma makes the best cream. She puts it on her pies and cakes. It is sweet and fluffy. Do you like cream?" + +"Yes, we love cream!" Lily and Tom say. + +Mom nods. She says, "Me too. That's why I packed some cream. It is a surprise for Grandma and Grandpa. They will be very happy." + +Lily and Tom hug Mom. They say, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best." + +Mom hugs them back. She says, "You are welcome, my loves. Now let's go. Grandma and Grandpa are waiting for us." +Sara and Ben are playing in the living room. They have many toys and cushions on the floor. Sara has a big idea. + +"Let's test the cushions!" she says to Ben. "We can jump on them and see how soft they are." + +Ben likes the idea. He nods and smiles. He picks up a blue cushion and puts it on the sofa. Sara picks up a pink cushion and puts it on the chair. + +"Are you ready?" Sara asks Ben. + +"Yes, I'm ready!" Ben answers. + +They count together. "One, two, three, jump!" + +Sara and Ben jump on the cushions. They feel the cushions squish under them. They laugh and giggle. The cushions are very soft and fun. + +They jump again and again. They try different cushions and different places. They have a great time testing the cushions. + +Mom comes in and sees them. She is not angry. She is happy to see them having fun. + +"Wow, you are testing the cushions!" she says. "Do you like them?" + +"Yes, we like them!" Sara and Ben say. "They are very soft and fun!" + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She is proud of them for being creative and curious. She joins them and jumps on a cushion too. They all have fun together. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. But Sam likes to make jokes. He thinks jokes are funny. Ben does not like jokes. He thinks jokes are mean. + +One day, Sam and Ben are playing with cars. Sam has a red car. Ben has a blue car. Sam says, "Look, Ben, my car is faster than yours. It can go zoom, zoom, zoom!" Ben says, "No, Sam, my car is faster than yours. It can go vroom, vroom, vroom!" They race their cars on the floor. + +Sam sees a banana peel on the floor. He has an idea. He puts the banana peel in front of Ben's car. He says, "Watch out, Ben, there is a big bump on the road!" Ben does not see the banana peel. He pushes his car. His car hits the banana peel and flips over. Sam laughs. He says, "Ha, ha, ha, that was a joke, Ben. Your car is not fast. It is silly!" + +Ben is sad. He does not like Sam's joke. He says, "Sam, that was not a joke. That was mean. You made my car fall. You hurt my car. You hurt my feelings. I hate you, Sam. I don't want to play with you anymore." He picks up his car and walks away. + +Sam is sorry. He did not mean to hurt Ben. He says, "Ben, wait, I'm sorry. I was just trying to be funny. I did not know you would be sad. I don't hate you, Ben. I like you. You are my friend. Please come back and play with me." + +But Ben does not hear Sam. He is too far away. He goes to his mom and tells her what happened. His mom hugs him and says, "Ben, I'm sorry that Sam made a bad joke. He was not smart. He did not think about your feelings. He should have been kind and nice. You are smart, Ben. You know how to be a good friend. Maybe you can teach Sam how to be a good friend too." + +The moral of the story is: Jokes are not funny if they hurt someone. Be kind and nice to your friends. Think about their feelings. +Anna and Ben love to play with colors. They have many crayons and paints and paper. One day, they decide to make a parade with their pictures. They draw animals and cars and flowers and people. They want to make their parade very bright and fun. + +They see a big jar of white paint on the shelf. They wonder what will happen if they mix it with other colors. They take the jar and some brushes and go to the table. They pour some white paint on a plate and dip their brushes in it. Then they dip their brushes in other colors and mix them on the paper. + +"Look, Ben, I made pink!" Anna says, showing her paper with a white and red mix. + +"Wow, that's pretty! I made green!" Ben says, showing his paper with a white and yellow mix. + +They mix more colors and make more pictures. They have fun and laugh and talk. They make orange and purple and brown and gray. They make a big mess on the table and on their clothes. + +They finish their pictures and hang them on a string. They hold the string and walk around the room. They pretend they are in a parade and sing a song. They are happy and proud of their colors. + +But then they hear a knock on the door. It is their mom. She comes in and sees the table and the clothes and the paint. She is not happy. She is angry. She does not like the mess. She does not like the unknown colors. + +"Anna and Ben, what have you done?" she asks, with a loud voice. + +They stop their parade and look at her. They are scared. They do not know what to say. They try to hide their pictures behind their backs. + +"We made a parade, mom," Anna says, with a small voice. + +"A parade of what?" mom asks, with a cross face. + +"A parade of colors, mom," Ben says, with a smaller voice. + +"Colors? What colors? These are not the colors I gave you. These are unknown colors. Where did you get them?" mom asks, with a sharper voice. + +They point at the jar of white paint. Mom sees it and gasps. She knows it is not paint. It is glue. It is sticky and hard to wash. It is not for mixing with colors. It is for sticking things together. + +She shakes her head and sighs. She is very upset. She does not know how to clean the mess. She does not know how to explain to Anna and Ben. She does not know what to do. +Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They pretended to be chefs and made different dishes with the toys and food they found. One day, they decided to make a salad with olives, cheese and lettuce. + +"Anna, can you measure the olives for me?" Tom asked. He had a small cup in his hand and wanted to fill it with olives. + +"Sure, Tom. How many olives do you need?" Anna replied. She had a big jar of olives on the table and opened it. + +"Four olives, please. That is enough for our salad." Tom said. He watched as Anna counted the olives and put them in his cup. + +"Here you go, Tom. Four olives for you." Anna said. She handed him the cup and smiled. + +"Thank you, Anna. You are a good helper." Tom said. He poured the olives on a plate and added some cheese and lettuce. He mixed them with a spoon and said, "Our salad is ready. It looks yummy." + +Anna nodded and said, "It does look yummy. Let's eat it." She took two forks and gave one to Tom. They sat on the floor and ate their salad. + +They liked the olives, cheese and lettuce. They felt happy and full. They thought they were wealthy because they had such a delicious salad. They did not know that their mom was watching them from the door and smiling. She was proud of her twins and their imagination. She thought they were the best chefs in the world. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a jar on the table. The jar is big and shiny. It has a lid. + +"What is in the jar?" Lily asks. + +"I do not know. Let us see," Tom says. + +They go to the table. They try to open the lid. The lid is tight. They pull and twist. They cannot open it. + +"Maybe we need help," Lily says. + +They look around. They see Mom. Mom is in the kitchen. She is making a cake. + +"Mom, can you help us?" Tom calls. + +Mom comes out. She sees the jar. She smiles. + +"That is my special jar. It has honey in it. Honey is sweet and yummy. Do you want some?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom say. + +Mom opens the lid. She takes a spoon. She scoops some honey. She gives some to Lily and some to Tom. + +They taste the honey. It is perfect. They lick their lips. + +"Thank you, Mom. This is the best jar ever!" Lily and Tom say. + +"You are welcome, my loves. Now, do you want to help me with the cake?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom say. + +They follow Mom to the kitchen. They wash their hands. They help Mom with the cake. They have fun. They are happy. +Sam and Lily are friends. They like to travel on their bikes. One day, they see a big hill. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go, Sam!" Lily says. "Maybe we will find something fun!" + +"OK, Lily!" Sam says. "But be careful. The hill is steep and bumpy." + +They pedal hard and go up the hill. They are tired and sweaty, but they are happy. They reach the top and look around. They see a big lake with ducks and fish. They also see a sign with a message. + +"What does the sign say, Sam?" Lily asks. + +Sam reads the sign. It says: "Do not swim in the lake. The water is dirty and disgusting. It can make you sick." + +"Yuck!" Sam says. "That is a bad message. I don't want to swim in the lake. Do you, Lily?" + +"No, Sam!" Lily says. "I don't want to swim in the lake either. It looks gross. Let's go back to our bikes and find another place to play." + +They agree and go back to their bikes. They ride down the hill and away from the lake. They are glad they read the message. They do not want to be sick. They want to be healthy and happy. They travel to a park with swings and slides. They have fun and forget about the disgusting lake. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with boats in the pond. They have two boats, one red and one blue. Tim likes the red boat and Sam likes the blue boat. + +One day, they go to the pond with their boats. But they see that there is only one boat in the pond. It is the red boat. The blue boat is gone. Sam is sad and angry. He thinks that Tim took his boat. + +"Where is my boat?" Sam yells at Tim. "Did you take my boat?" + +"No, I did not take your boat," Tim yells back. "I only have my boat. Maybe someone else took your boat." + +They yell and yell at each other. They do not listen to each other. They do not share the red boat. They have a big row. + +A duck sees them and swims to them. The duck is humble and kind. He does not like to see them fight. He quacks at them and shows them something. It is the blue boat. It is stuck in the reeds. The duck helps them to get the blue boat. + +Tim and Sam are happy and sorry. They thank the duck and hug each other. They say sorry for yelling and rowing. They share the boats and play together. They are friends again. The duck smiles and swims away. +Lily and Ben are playing with a string. They tie the string to a chair and a table. They make a bridge for their toys. + +"Look, my car can go over the bridge!" Ben says. He pushes his car on the string. + +"Beep beep!" Lily says. She claps her hands. She likes Ben's car. + +But then, Mom comes in. She looks angry. She says, "What are you doing? You made a mess! And you are too loud!" + +Lily and Ben feel sad. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We were just playing." + +Mom says, "I know, but you have to be quiet. Your baby sister is sleeping. And you have to clean up your toys." + +Lily and Ben nod. They untie the string. They put their toys in a box. They are quiet. + +Mom smiles. She says, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are good kids. Now, do you want a hug?" + +Lily and Ben run to Mom. They hug her. They say, "We love you, Mom." + +Mom says, "I love you, too. Now, let's go and see your sister. But shh, don't wake her up." + +Lily and Ben follow Mom. They tiptoe to the crib. They see their sister sleeping. She is cute. They clap their hands softly. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many apples. They wanted to pick some apples for a snack. + +"Look, Ben, there are so many apples!" Lily said. "Let's climb the tree and get some." + +"OK, Lily, but be careful. The tree is very high and the branches are thin." Ben said. + +They climbed the tree and reached for the apples. They were red and shiny and juicy. They picked some and put them in their pockets. They ate some and smiled. + +But then they heard a loud bark. A big dog was under the tree. He was angry and hungry. He wanted the apples too. He jumped and growled and tried to reach them. + +"Help, Lily, the dog is scary!" Ben said. "How can we get down?" + +"Don't worry, Ben, I have an idea." Lily said. "We can yield some apples to the dog. Maybe he will be happy and leave us alone." + +She threw an apple to the dog. The dog caught it and ate it. He wagged his tail and barked again. He wanted more. + +Lily threw another apple. The dog ate it and wagged his tail. He barked again. He wanted more. + +Lily and Ben threw all the apples they had. The dog ate them all and wagged his tail. He was full and happy. He stopped barking and ran away. + +Lily and Ben climbed down the tree. They were safe and glad. They hugged each other and laughed. + +"That was a wonder, Lily. You are very smart and brave." Ben said. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very kind and strong." Lily said. + +They walked back to their parents. They were tired and hungry. They wanted to rest and eat. + +But they were also restless. They wanted to play more. They wondered what other adventures they would have in the park. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box of toys in the park. They are very happy. + +But then, they see a purple toy car. They both want the purple toy car. They start to fight. They pull and push and shout. + +"Give me the car! It is mine!" Lily says. + +"No, it is mine! I saw it first!" Ben says. + +They are very angry. They do not share. They do not have fun. + +A man sees them. He comes to them. He looks sad. + +"Why are you fighting?" he asks. + +"Because we want the purple car!" they say. + +The man shakes his head. He says, "Do you know what war is?" + +Lily and Ben shake their heads. They do not know. + +The man says, "War is when people fight and hurt each other. War is bad. War makes people sad. War is not a game." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They do not want to fight. They do not want to hurt each other. They do not want to be sad. + +They say, "We are sorry. We do not want war. We want to be friends." + +They hug and say sorry. They decide to share the purple car. They take turns to play with it. They also play with the other toys. They have fun. + +The man smiles. He says, "That is good. Sharing is good. Sharing makes people happy. Sharing is a game." + +Lily and Ben smile. They say, "Thank you. We learned a lesson. We will share and be kind. We will not fight and be mean." + +They play and laugh. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben love to play at the park. They like to slide, climb and run. But their favorite thing is the swing. They take turns to push each other and go high in the air. + +One day, they see a new swing at the park. It is big and blue and has two seats. Lily and Ben run to the new swing and sit together. They hold hands and smile. + +"Wow, this is a cool swing!" Lily says. + +"Yes, it is! We can swing together and have fun!" Ben says. + +They start to swing and feel the wind on their faces. They laugh and sing. They are happy. + +They swing for a long time until their mommies come to pick them up. They hug and say goodbye. + +"See you tomorrow, Lily!" Ben says. + +"See you tomorrow, Ben!" Lily says. + +They wave and go home. They can't wait to swing again. They love the swing and they love each other. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play games on the screen. The screen is big and bright. It has many colors and sounds. + +One day, Ben and Mia find a new game on the screen. It is a game about animals. They see a lion, a monkey, a bird and a fish. They want to play the game. + +"Let's try this game," Ben says. "It looks fun." + +"OK," Mia says. "How do we play?" + +They look at the screen. The screen tells them what to do. They have to touch the animals and make their sounds. They have to be fast and careful. + +"Are you ready?" Ben asks. + +"I am ready," Mia says. + +They start the game. They touch the lion and roar. They touch the monkey and chatter. They touch the bird and tweet. They touch the fish and splash. + +They laugh and clap. They have fun. They play the game again and again. They are happy. They like the new game on the screen. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a furry cat under a tree. The cat is sleeping. + +"Look, a cat!" Jen says. "Can we pet it?" + +Tom nods. He likes cats. He walks to the cat. He reaches his hand to touch it. + +But the cat does not like Tom. The cat wakes up and hisses. The cat scratches Tom's hand. Tom cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom says. "Bad cat! Go away!" + +Tom is angry. He sees a bag of salt on a bench. Someone left it there. Tom picks up the bag. He throws it at the cat. + +But the bag is too heavy. Tom cannot throw it far. The bag falls on his foot. Tom cries more. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom says. "Bad salt! Go away!" + +Jen runs to Tom. She tries to help him. She hugs him. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Jen says. "Are you okay?" + +But Tom is not okay. He is hurt and sad. He does not want to play anymore. He wants to go home. + +The end. +Lily and Tom are playing in the living room. They have a lot of toys and furniture to make a castle. Lily puts a blanket over the sofa and says, "This is the tower. I am the princess and you are the knight." + +Tom nods and takes a sword made of cardboard. He says, "I will protect you from the dragon. Where is the dragon?" He looks around and sees a big green pillow on the floor. He thinks that is the dragon. He runs towards it and shouts, "Roar!" + +The pillow moves and makes a noise. It is not a pillow, it is Lily's dog, Rex. Rex is sleepy and does not like to be disturbed. He barks and jumps on Tom, licking his face. Tom drops his sword and laughs. He says, "You are not a dragon, you are a silly dog. You are my friend." + +Lily comes out of the sofa and sees Rex and Tom. She laughs too and says, "Rex, you are not a dragon, you are a part of our castle. You can be the guard dog. Come here, boy." She pets Rex and gives him a treat. + +They all go back to the sofa and cuddle. They are happy and ready for more adventures. They have a lot of fun with their toys and furniture.

He shows Jen his card. + +"I have a card with a hairy cat," Jen says. She shows Tom her card. + +"Those are not the same. A dog and a cat are different animals," Tom says. + +"But they are both hairy. They have fur on their skin," Jen says. + +"That is true, but they also have other things that are different. A dog has a long tail and a cat has a short tail. A dog says woof and a cat says meow. A dog likes to run and a cat likes to sleep," Tom says. + +Jen thinks for a moment. She looks at her cards. She finds another card with a hairy cat. She shows it to Tom. + +"Look, I have another card with a hairy cat. This one matches with my first card.

"There is a big park with many animals. Do you see the lions and the zebras?" + +"Yes, I see them, Mia. They are very pretty. But they do not belong here. They belong in Africa, where it is warm and sunny." + +The bus driver heard Tom and smiled. He said, "You are right, Tom. These animals do not belong here. They are here because we want to help them and protect them. They have a lot of space and food and friends. But we also want to learn from them and share them with you. Do you want to learn more about them?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Mia said together. They were very curious and lively. They wanted to know everything about the animals. + +The bus driver was happy. He said, "OK, then. Let's go on with our tour. I will tell you many things about the lions and the zebras and the other animals. And you can ask me any questions you have.

It looked hungry and angry. Sara and Tom were very scared. They screamed and ran back to Mom and Dad. + +Mom and Dad heard their screams and saw the lion. They quickly grabbed the basket, the blanket, and the toys. They also took Sara and Tom and got in the car. They drove away as fast as they could. The lion chased them for a while, but then gave up and went back to the bushes. + +Sara and Tom hugged Mom and Dad and thanked them for saving them. They were glad they were safe and together. They decided that the picnic was fun, but the lion was too scary. They hoped they would never see it again. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing on the big swings. Anna could swing very high and fast. Ben was smaller and could not swing so well. He wanted to swing like Anna, but he felt helpless. + +"Anna, can you help me swing?" Ben asked. "I want to swing high and fast like you." + +"Sure, Ben. I can help you swing. Come here and sit on this swing. I will set you in motion. Then you have to pump your legs and hold on tight."

She also drank some water and some milk. She felt full and satisfied. She said, "Mom, I am done. Can I go back to my room and play with my clock?" Her mom said, "Yes, you can, but first, you have to brush your teeth. That is also good for you. It keeps your teeth clean and healthy." + +Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom, I will brush my teeth. Thank you for reminding me." She went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth. Then she went back to her room and picked up her clock. She said, "Hello, clock, I am back. Let's play some more."

She touched the beetle gently with her finger. The beetle fell off the leaf. It was not alive. + +Sara felt sad. She liked the beetle. She wanted to be its friend. She picked up the beetle and put it in her pocket. She decided to bury the beetle in the dirt. She thought the beetle would like that. + +She looked for a good spot to dig a hole. She saw a big rock near the fence. She thought the rock would make a good marker for the beetle's grave. She walked towards the rock with the beetle in her pocket. + +But when she got closer, she saw something move under the rock. It was another beetle. A bigger beetle. A red beetle. It had long horns and sharp claws. It looked angry. It saw Sara and the green beetle in her pocket. It did not like that. + +The red beetle crawled out from under the rock. It hissed and snapped at Sara. It wanted to fight. It wanted to take the green beetle away. Sara was scared. She did not want to fight. She did not want to lose the green beetle. + +She ran away from the rock and the red beetle. She ran back to the house. She found her mom and showed her the green beetle. She told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said she was brave. She said she was sorry about the green beetle. She said they could bury the green beetle together in a safe place. + +Sara felt better. She still liked the green beetle. She still wanted to be its friend. She hoped the green beetle was happy in the dirt. She hoped the red beetle would leave it alone. She waved goodbye to the green beetle and said thank you. She smiled and went inside with her mom. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They wanted to build a tower. They put one block on top of another, and another, and another. They made the tower very high. + +"Look at our tower!" Lily said. "It is brilliant!" + +Ben nodded. He was happy.

We still have many blocks." + +Lily smiled. She gave Ben a hug. Ben smiled too. He gave Lily a block. They started to build another tower. They wanted to have fun.

He is just hungry." + +Tom nodded. He was not scared of the shark. He thought the shark was cool. He saw other fish too. Some were small and colorful. Some were big and striped. Some had long noses or spiky fins. Tom liked the fish. He wanted to touch them. But dad said no. + +"Tom, we cannot touch the fish or the plants. They are not toys. They are alive. We have to be gentle and careful. We are just visitors. We have to respect the reef." + +Tom understood. He was gentle and careful. He observed the reef with his eyes. He smiled. He was happy.

Lily said, following Tom. They ran across the grass, holding their pot and stick. + +As they got closer, they saw that the shiny thing was a car. It was old and rusty, and had no wheels. It was half-buried in the dirt. + +"Wow, what is this?" Tom asked, touching the car. + +"I don't know, maybe it's a spaceship!" Lily said, climbing inside. She found a button and pressed it. + +Suddenly, the car made a loud noise. It sounded like a horn, but also like a roar. Tom and Lily were scared.

He seemed nice. She looked at Queen Lily. She thought Queen Lily wanted her to be happy. She said, "Okay. But can I bring Queen Lily?" + +Ben said, "Sure. You can bring Queen Lily.

I will fight you, dragon!" + +They ran around the park, chasing and dodging each other. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Lily saw something shiny in the bushes. She stopped and went to look. It was a real sword. It was metal and sharp and had a pale handle. Lily felt a strange pull. She wanted to touch it. + +"Tom, look!" she said. "I found a real sword!" + +Tom came over and saw the sword too. He felt a little scared. He remembered what his mom had told him. "Never touch things that are not yours. They could be dangerous or belong to someone else." + +"Lily, don't touch it!" he said. "It could hurt you. Or someone could be angry. Let's go back to our game." + +But Lily did not listen. She reached out and grabbed the sword. It was heavy and cold. She felt a jolt of pain in her hand. She dropped the sword and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she said. "It bit me!" + +Tom ran to her and saw blood on her hand. He felt sorry for her. He wrapped his scarf around her wound. He hoped it would help. + +"Come on, Lily," he said. "Let's go find mom.

When she finished, she finally reached the secret garden! + +It was even more beautiful than she had imagined. She was amazed at all the different plants, animals and colours.

He decided to take his dad's old igloo to the trip. + +He ran to the backyard and picked it up. It was old and heavy, and he was not sure if he should really bring it.

The bird was very scared, but she was also very warm in her safe cocoon. Suddenly, the wind started blowing and the bird felt something wrap around her. It was a colorful raincoat! She quickly hopped out into the sunshine, so happy and relieved. + +The bird twittered around the tree and thanked the raincoat for helping her in her time of need. She was so happy and sang a song of thanks. From now on, the bird knew that if the sky ever darkened again, she always had the raincoat to wrap around her. +Once there was a boy. His name was Kevin. +He was looking for a healthy snack to eat. +His mum was in the kitchen cooking. +He asked her, "Mummy, can I have a snack?" + +His mum said, "OK, what do you want?" + +Kevin said, "A pepper please!" +His mum smiled and said, "Sure!" +She took out a red pepper, cut it in two and folded it into a shape like a burger. + +Kevin was excited. He said, "Yay! It looks so yummy!" +His mum said, "I just added some salt and pepper so that it is healthy and tasty!" + +Kevin took a bite and said, "Mmm, delicious!" +Once there was a little girl who liked to play games. She had a box full of matches. One day she said, "I'm going to play a matching game with my matches." + +She carefully lined up the matches in a row. Then she found some chips and some cheese. She matched all the chips to the matches. + +The little girl was proud of her matching game. "I'm so strong!" she said. + +Just then, her mom said, "I brought you some strong cheese. Would you like some for your game?" + +The little girl said, "Yes! Cheese will make my matching game even better." + +She smiled and added the cheese to her match game. Then she smiled and said, "Look how strong my game is now." +John was out with his grandmother in a nearby café. They looked at the menu and decided to order a few interesting things. As they waited for their food, John noticed everyone was laughing around him. He was embarrassed and uncomfortable. + +Grandmother asked, "John why so quiet? Are you alright?" John nodded, but Grandmother could tell he was not pleased. She knew something was wrong. + +When their food arrived, the waiter was very careless. He dropped the hot soup all over John! Everyone started laughing and all John wanted to do was run away, he was so embarrassed. + +Grandmother scolded the waiter and asked him to bring them a new meal. Then she bent down and gave John a warm hug. She could feel his embarrassment, but she still managed to smile. + +"It's okay, John, don't be embarrassed. I will always be here for you." John thanked her and smiled, finally feeling back to normal. Grandmother had saved the day. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Audrey. Audrey was three years old and loved playing with her toys. One day, Audrey was playing outside in the snow when she noticed something glittering in the distance. + +Audrey walked closer and saw it was a beautiful gift. She picked it up and looked inside. + +Surprise! It was a sparkly bracelet. Audrey was so excited and couldn't help but shiver with joy. + +Just then, Audrey's best friend Mary came walking to the spot. Mary saw the bracelet and couldn't help but feel jealous. + +“Oh my, what a pretty gift!†Mary said. + +Audrey answered, “It’s for me! It’s my new bracelet.†+ +Mary was so jealous, but smiled and said, “Wow, you’re so lucky! I wish I had a special gift like that!†+ +Audrey was happy and gave Mary a big hug. She took Mary’s hand, shivering with excitement and said, “Let’s go play!†+Once upon a time, there was a woman who was very stubborn. One day, the woman was walking in a park when something scary happened. She heard a loud noise and it made her panic. + +The woman tried to run away but was scared. Everywhere she looked, scary shadows were everywhere. She was so scared that she started to cry. + +Then, suddenly, she saw something. It was a little girl and she was scared too. The woman was very surprised. She asked the girl, “Why are you so scared?†+ +The girl said, “There is a big monster that is coming this way! I am so scared!†+ +The woman was determined to help. She took the girl's hand and said, “Don't worry, I will protect you!†+ +The woman was so stubborn that she refused to back down. She stayed calm and brave and kept the monster away. Finally, the monster was gone and the woman was relieved. She had saved the girl! + +So, whenever you feel scared, always remember the stubborn woman who saved the day! +Kitty was playing with her trumpet one day. She blew into it real hard, making a loud noise. + +Mommy said, "Be careful! That trumpet is so sharp! You don't want to get hurt." + +Kitty tried to be careful and blow into the trumpet softly. But it was hard to control the sound. She even tried to be flexible, but still the sound came out too loud. + +Mommy said, "I told you that trumpet was too sharp for you! If you don't stop, it's going to break." + +Kitty didn't want the trumpet to break, so she stopped playing with it. But then the trumpet broke anyway. + +Kitty was so sad. Mommy tried to help her feel better but nothing worked. Kitty still missed her trumpet. +Mia and Leo were twins who liked to play in their room after dark. They had a big flashlight that made bright light when they turned it on. They used the flashlight to make shadows on the wall with their hands and toys. + +One night, Mia had an idea. She said to Leo, "Let's go to the basement and look for treasure. Maybe we can find something shiny or funny there. We can use the flashlight to see in the dark." + +Leo was not sure. He said, "The basement is scary. It is cold and dusty and has spiders. I don't want to go there. Let's stay in our room and play with our books and puzzles." + +But Mia was enthusiastic. She said, "It will be fun. We can pretend we are explorers and adventurers. We can find things that no one else has seen. Come on, Leo, don't be afraid. I will hold your hand and we will go together." + +Mia insisted so much that Leo agreed to go with her. They took the flashlight and went down the stairs to the basement. They opened the door and turned on the light. They saw boxes and bags and old things that their parents had stored there. They started to look around and search for treasure. + +They found a hat with feathers, a broken guitar, a doll with one eye, and a shiny coin. They laughed and tried on the hat and played with the guitar and the doll. They put the coin in their pocket. They were having fun and forgot to be scared. + +They did not notice that their parents had come home and were looking for them. They heard their mom's voice calling their name. They turned off the flashlight and ran to the door. They opened it and saw their mom and dad standing there. They smiled and said, "Hi, mom and dad. We found treasure in the basement. Look what we have." + +Their parents were surprised and relieved. They hugged them and said, "We are glad you are safe and happy. But next time, please tell us where you are going and don't go to the basement without us. It can be dangerous and you can get hurt. We love you and we want you to be careful." + +Mia and Leo said, "We are sorry, mom and dad. We won't do it again. We love you too. Can we show you our treasure?" + +Their parents said, "Of course, you can. Let's go to your room and see what you found. And then, it's time for bed. You must be tired after your adventure." + +Mia and Leo nodded and followed their parents to their room. They showed them their treasure and told them their story. Their parents smiled and praised them for their imagination and curiosity. They tucked them in and kissed them good night. They turned off the light and left the flashlight on the nightstand. Mia and Leo fell asleep, dreaming of more adventures. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big pile of leaves in their yard. They jumped and rolled in the leaves, laughing and having fun. + +"Look, Lily, I found a white leaf!" Ben said, holding up a leaf that was pale and dry. "It is so pretty and different from the others." + +"Let me see!" Lily said, reaching for the leaf. "I want it too!" + +"No, it is mine!" Ben said, pulling the leaf away. "I saw it first!" + +They started to fight over the white leaf, tugging and shouting. They did not notice that their mom was watching them from the window. + +Mom came out and said, "Stop, children, stop! Why are you fighting over a leaf? It is just a leaf, and there are so many more in the pile. You should share and be kind to each other." + +"But mom, this leaf is special!" Ben said. "It is white and rare!" + +Mom smiled and said, "Do you know why this leaf is white, Ben? It is because it is old and sick. It has lost its green color and its life. It will crumble and fall apart soon. It is not a treasure, but a sign of decay." + +Lily and Ben looked at the white leaf and saw that it was indeed brittle and fragile. They felt sorry for the leaf and for their fight. + +"Mom, you are right," Lily said. "This leaf is not worth fighting over. We should spend our time playing and enjoying the leaves that are still alive and colorful." + +"Yes, mom, we are sorry," Ben said. "We should be grateful for what we have and not be greedy for what we don't." + +They hugged their mom and said, "We love you, mom. Thank you for teaching us a lesson." + +Mom hugged them back and said, "I love you too, children. Now, why don't you go and make a nice leaf collage for me? I think that would be a better way to use the leaves than fighting over them." + +Lily and Ben agreed and ran back to the pile of leaves. They picked up different shapes and colors of leaves and arranged them on a big sheet of paper. They made a beautiful leaf collage that showed their love for nature and for each other. They gave it to their mom, who was very proud and happy. They learned that sharing and caring are more important than having and wanting. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to smell the flowers and look for bugs. They saw a big pot with green leaves. Anna said, "What is this?" + +Ben said, "This is herb. Mommy uses it to make food. It smells good. Do you want to try?" + +Anna nodded. She picked a leaf and put it in her mouth. She made a face. "Yuck! This is not good. This is bitter. I don't like it." + +Ben laughed. "You are funny, Anna. Herb is not for eating. Herb is for cooking. Mommy says it makes food tasty. But you have to use a little bit. Not a lot." + +Anna spit out the leaf. She felt something tickle her throat. She coughed. She coughed again. She felt scared. She said, "Ben, I don't feel well. My throat hurts. I need water." + +Ben saw Anna was worried. He was worried too. He said, "Don't worry, Anna. I will help you. Come with me. We will go to Mommy. She will give you water. She will make you feel better." + +He took her hand and ran to the house. He shouted, "Mommy, Mommy, Anna ate herb and she is coughing. She needs water. Please help her." + +Mommy heard Ben and came to the door. She saw Anna and Ben. She said, "Oh, my poor Anna. What happened? Did you eat herb? That was not a good idea. Herb is not for eating. Herb is for cooking. Come here. I will give you water. I will hug you. You will be okay." + +She took Anna and Ben inside. She gave Anna a glass of water. She hugged her and kissed her. She said, "You are a brave girl, Anna. You will be fine. Don't be worried. I love you." + +She looked at Ben and smiled. She said, "You are a good brother, Ben. You helped Anna. You came to me. You were worried. I love you too." + +She hugged Ben and kissed him. She said, "You are both my sweet children. I am proud of you. You are welcome to play in the garden. But please don't eat herb. Herb is not for eating. Herb is for cooking. Okay?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "Okay, Mommy. We are sorry. We won't eat herb again. We love you too." + +Mommy said, "It's okay. I forgive you. You learned something new today. Herb is not for eating. Herb is for cooking. Now, do you want a snack?" + +Anna and Ben said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Mommy." + +Mommy said, "You're welcome, my loves. Let's go to the kitchen. I have some cookies for you. And maybe some herb tea for your throat. Herb tea is good for drinking. Herb tea is not bitter. Herb tea is sweet. Do you want to try?" + +Anna and Ben said, "Yes, please. We want to try. We like to try new things. We like to learn new things. We like to have fun. We like to play. We like to be with you." + +Mommy said, "I like to be with you too. You are my joy. You are my sunshine. You are my herb." +Lily and Max were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend that the couch was a big boat and they were sailing on the sea. They had a toy binocular and a toy map to help them find treasure. + +"Look, Max, I see an island!" Lily said, pointing with the binocular. "Maybe there is gold and jewels there!" + +"Let's go, Lily!" Max said, grabbing the map. "We have to be careful, there might be pirates or monsters!" + +They jumped off the couch and ran to the other side of the room, where they had a pile of pillows and blankets. They pretended that the pillows were rocks and the blankets were sand. They started to dig with their hands, looking for treasure. + +"Ouch!" Lily cried, pulling her hand back. "Something bit me!" + +Max looked at her hand and saw a small red mark. He also saw something moving under the blanket. He lifted it up and saw a tiny mouse. The mouse looked scared and ran away. + +"It was a mouse, Lily!" Max said. "It was harmless, it didn't mean to hurt you!" + +Lily sniffed and rubbed her hand. She was still scared and angry. She didn't like the mouse. + +"I don't believe you, Max!" Lily said. "It was a monster, a mean and ugly monster! It wanted to eat us!" + +She picked up a pillow and threw it at the mouse. The mouse dodged the pillow and ran under the couch. + +"Stop, Lily, stop!" Max said. "You are scaring the mouse! It is just a little animal, it is not a monster!" + +He tried to calm Lily down and explain that the mouse was harmless, but Lily didn't listen. She kept throwing pillows and blankets at the couch, trying to hit the mouse. She made a big mess in the living room. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was going on. She saw the mess and the mouse and the kids. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing, Lily and Max?" she asked. "Why are you making such a mess? And why are you chasing that poor mouse?" + +Lily and Max looked at their mom. They knew they were in trouble. They tried to tell their story, but they used different words. Lily said the mouse was a monster, Max said the mouse was harmless. Their mom didn't know who to believe. She sighed and shook her head. + +"Come on, kids, let's clean up this mess," she said. "And let's leave the mouse alone. It is harmless, but it is also scared. It needs a safe place to live, not a couch." + +She helped them put the pillows and blankets back on the couch. She also gave them a band-aid for Lily's hand and a hug for Max. She told them to be nice to animals and to each other. She also told them to use their imagination, but not to be afraid of things that are harmless. + +Lily and Max said they were sorry and they hugged their mom. They also said they were sorry to the mouse and they hoped it would find a good home. They learned their lesson and they decided to play something else. They still liked to pretend, but they also liked to believe in the truth. +Anna and Ben were playing with snow in the park. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, our snowman is the best in the park!" Anna said. + +"Yes, he is very big and nice!" Ben agreed. + +But then a big boy came to the park. He was very bossy and mean. He saw Anna and Ben's snowman and he did not like it. + +"Your snowman is ugly and silly!" he said. "I will make a better snowman than you!" + +He took some snow and started to make a snowball. He threw the snowball at Anna and Ben's snowman. He hit the hat and it fell off. + +"Hey, stop that!" Anna shouted. "That is our snowman, not yours!" + +But the big boy did not listen. He made another snowball and threw it at the snowman. He hit the scarf and it fell off. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Ben cried. "You are ruining our snowman!" + +But the big boy did not care. He made a third snowball and threw it at the snowman. He hit the carrot nose and it fell off. + +"Ha, ha, ha!" he laughed. "Your snowman is no more! He is just a pile of snow!" + +Anna and Ben were very sad and angry. They wanted to get their hat, scarf and carrot back. But the big boy was bigger and stronger than them. He picked up their things and ran away. + +"Come back here, you bully!" Anna and Ben shouted. "Give us our things back!" + +But the big boy did not hear them. He ran to another place in the park. He wanted to make his own snowman with their things. + +But he did not know that the sun was shining very bright that day. The sun was very hot and it made the snow melt. The snow became water and it dripped on the ground. + +The big boy did not notice that his snow was melting. He was too busy making his snowman. He put the hat, the scarf and the carrot on his snowman. He was very proud of his snowman. + +"Look, my snowman is the best in the park!" he said. "He has a hat, a scarf and a carrot! He is better than your snowman!" + +But then he looked around and he saw that there was no more snow in the park. All the snow had melted and there was only water and grass. His snowman had melted too. He had no snowman, only a hat, a scarf and a carrot on the ground. + +He was very surprised and sad. He wanted to have a snowman, but he had none. He looked at Anna and Ben and he saw that they were still there. They were looking at him and they were not sad. They were smiling. + +They had seen what had happened to his snowman. They knew that he had been very bossy and mean. They knew that he had taken their things and ruined their snowman. They knew that he had been very silly and did not see the sun. + +They did not feel sorry for him. They felt happy that he had learned a lesson. They felt happy that they still had each other. They felt happy that they could play with something else in the park. + +They picked up their hat, scarf and carrot from the ground. They thanked the sun for melting the snow. They went to another place in the park. They decided to play with leaves and flowers. They had fun and they were friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go in the hole!" said Ben. + +"OK!" said Lily. + +They crawled into the hole. It was dark and warm. They heard a noise. It sounded like a growl. + +"What is that?" asked Lily. + +"I don't know!" said Ben. + +They felt something furry and wet touch their legs. They screamed and tried to get out of the hole. But the hole was too small. They were stuck. + +They started to panic. They cried and kicked and shouted. + +"Help! Help!" they yelled. + +A man heard them. He was walking his dog. He ran to the hole. He saw two scared faces. + +"Don't worry, kids. I'll get you out!" he said. + +He pulled them out of the hole. They were dirty and scared. They hugged the man. + +"Thank you, thank you!" they said. + +The man smiled. He looked at his dog. His dog was wagging his tail. He had licked the kids' legs. + +"That was my dog. He was curious. He didn't mean to scare you. He's friendly," he said. + +Lily and Ben looked at the dog. The dog looked at them. He barked and licked their faces. + +They laughed. They petted the dog. They were not scared anymore. + +They said sorry to the man for going into the hole. The man said it was OK. He told them to be careful next time. He said goodbye and walked away with his dog. + +Lily and Ben went back to their mom. They told her what happened. She was glad they were safe. She gave them a hug and a kiss. + +They learned a lesson. They never went into holes again. +Lily loved animals. She wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up. She liked to visit the animal clinic with her mom and see the dogs and cats that needed help. + +One day, she saw a big cage with a sign that said "Do not touch". Inside the cage, there was a small, furry animal with a long tail and sharp teeth. Lily was curious. She wanted to see what it was. + +She walked closer to the cage and reached her hand inside. The animal did not like that. It bit her finger and made a loud noise. Lily screamed and pulled her hand back. It hurt a lot. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" she cried. + +"What happened?" her mom asked, running to her side. + +"The animal pinched me!" Lily said, showing her finger. + +The veterinarian heard the noise and came over. He looked at Lily's finger and said, "That's a ferret. He's very scared and angry. You should not touch him. He needs a lot of space and care." + +"I'm sorry," Lily said, sniffling. "I just wanted to see him." + +The veterinarian smiled and said, "I know. You're very nosy. But you have to be careful with animals. They have feelings too. Let me put a band-aid on your finger and give you a sticker. Then you can look at the other animals, but only with your eyes, okay?" + +"Okay," Lily said, nodding. She learned her lesson. She still loved animals, but she knew that some of them needed more respect and distance. She decided to be a kind and gentle veterinarian when she grew up. +Tom and Sue are young. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun. + +One day, they see something in the grass. It is long and thin and has a tongue. It is a snake. Tom and Sue are scared. They do not like snakes. + +"Look, Sue, a snake!" Tom says. + +"Let's go away, Tom!" Sue says. + +They run to their mom and dad. They tell them about the snake. Mom and dad hug them and say it is OK. + +"Snakes are not bad, Tom and Sue. They are just animals. They do not want to hurt you. They are afraid of you too. You have to be careful and not touch them, but you do not have to be afraid," mom says. + +"Can we still play in the park, mom?" Tom asks. + +"Of course, you can. Just stay away from the snake and watch where you step. The park is big and there are many things to see and do. You can play with your ball and your kite and have fun," dad says. + +Tom and Sue nod and smile. They hold their mom and dad's hands and go back to the park. They are not scared of the snake anymore. They are happy and they play. +Anna liked to go to the park with her mom. She liked to play on the swings and slide and see the ducks and squirrels. But her favorite thing was to look for owls. She knew owls were big birds that lived in the trees and came out at night. She wanted to see one so bad. + +One day, she saw a big hole in a tree. She thought maybe an owl lived there. She asked her mom if she could go closer. Her mom said yes, but be careful and quiet. Anna walked slowly to the hole and peeked inside. She saw something brown and fluffy. She smiled and said, "Hello, owl!" + +But it was not an owl. It was a raccoon. The raccoon did not like to be disturbed. It opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth. It made a loud hiss and jumped out of the hole. Anna screamed and ran back to her mom. The raccoon ran away too. + +Anna was scared and sad. She did not see an owl. She saw a weird animal that was mean and scary. Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Anna. You were brave and curious. Sometimes we find things we don't expect. Maybe next time you will see an owl." + +Anna nodded and wiped her tears. She still liked to look for owls, but she learned to be more careful and respectful of other animals. She hoped to see a real owl someday. She knew they were beautiful and wise and friendly. She dreamed of hearing them say, "Hoo, hoo!" +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big girl with a white dress and wings. She was pretending to be an angel. + +"Hello, angel!" Lily said. She wanted to be friends with the big girl. + +But the big girl was rude. She did not say hello back. She laughed at Lily and Ben. She said they were too small and silly to play with her. + +"That's not nice!" Ben said. He felt angry and sad. He did not like the big girl. + +Lily and Ben decided to ignore the big girl. They found a nice boy with a red ball. He asked them if they wanted to play catch. They said yes. They had fun with the ball. They laughed and smiled. + +The big girl saw them. She wanted to join them. She said she was sorry for being rude. She asked if she could play with them. + +But Lily and Ben said no. They said they did not want to play with someone who was mean. They said they had a new friend. They said they did not need an angel. + +The big girl felt lonely and sorry. She learned a lesson. She should not laugh at others. She should be kind and friendly. +Lila was a little girl who liked to wander. She liked to see new things and meet new friends. One day, she wandered into a big park. She saw many flowers, trees, birds and bugs. She smiled and said hello to them. + +She wandered until she saw a big pond. She saw many ducks swimming and quacking. She wanted to play with them. She walked to the edge of the pond and waved her hand. "Hello, ducks! Can I play with you?" she asked. + +One duck swam closer to her. He was gentle and friendly. He looked at her with his black eyes and nodded his head. "Hello, little girl. You can play with us. But be careful, the pond is deep and wet. Do you have a grown-up with you?" he asked. + +Lila shook her head. "No, I don't. I wandered here by myself. I like to wander. I don't have a grown-up yet. Maybe I will find one someday," she said. + +The duck frowned. He was worried about Lila. He knew that wandering alone was not safe for a little girl. He wanted to help her. He said, "Little girl, wandering is fun, but you need a grown-up to watch over you. You can get lost or hurt or scared. You need a grown-up who loves you and cares for you. Do you have a home to go back to?" + +Lila nodded. She had a home, but she did not like it. She did not have a mommy or a daddy. She lived with a lady who was mean and cold. She did not love Lila or care for her. She only gave her food and clothes and a bed. She did not play with her or hug her or read to her. She did not want Lila to wander. She wanted Lila to stay inside and be quiet. Lila did not like that. She wanted to wander and have fun and find a grown-up who loved her. + +She told the duck about her home and her lady. The duck felt sad for Lila. He wished he could help her. He said, "Little girl, I'm sorry you have a bad home and a bad lady. You deserve a good home and a good grown-up. Maybe you can find one if you keep wandering. But you have to be careful and smart. You have to avoid danger and trouble. You have to look for signs and clues. You have to listen to your heart and your dreams. Maybe then you will find a grown-up who loves you and cares for you. Maybe then you will have a grown-up yet." + +Lila smiled. She liked the duck. He was gentle and friendly and wise. He gave her hope and courage. She said, "Thank you, duck. You are a good friend. You make me happy. I will do what you say. I will be careful and smart. I will look for signs and clues. I will listen to my heart and my dreams. I will keep wandering until I find a grown-up who loves me and cares for me. I will have a grown-up yet." + +The duck nodded. He was glad he could help Lila. He said, "You're welcome, little girl. You are a brave and sweet girl. You make me proud. I hope you find a grown-up who loves you and cares for you. I hope you have a grown-up yet. Goodbye and good luck." + +Lila waved. She said, "Goodbye and thank you, duck. You are a good friend. I will remember you always." + +She turned and walked away from the pond. She wandered into the big park. She saw many flowers, trees, birds and bugs. She smiled and said hello to them. She wandered until she saw a new thing. She wondered what it was. She walked closer to see. It was a big sign. It had many words and pictures. It said, "Adopt a child. Give a child a home and a family. Give a child love and care. Call this number." + +Lila looked at the sign. She felt something in her heart. She felt a wish and a hope. She felt a sign and a clue. She felt a dream. She reached for the sign. She touched the words and the pictures. She said, "Maybe this is it. Maybe this is where I find a grown-up who loves me and cares for me. Maybe this is where I have a grown-up yet." +Anna was cold. She wanted a new sweater. She saw a pretty sweater in a shop. It was pink and soft. She asked her mom to buy it for her. + +"Mom, can I have that sweater?" Anna said. + +"No, Anna, we can't buy that sweater. It is too expensive. We have to save money for other things." Mom said. + +"But I like it so much! It is so pretty and warm!" Anna said. + +"I'm sorry, Anna, but we have to be careful with our money. Look, I have a sweater for you. It is cheap and good. It is green and wooly. It will keep you warm." Mom said. + +She gave Anna a sweater that she had bought from a second-hand store. Anna did not like it. It was ugly and scratchy. She did not want to wear it. + +"I don't want this sweater! It is bad and old! I want the pink sweater!" Anna said. + +She threw the green sweater on the floor. She started to cry and scream. Mom was angry and sad. She picked up the green sweater and put it in a bag. + +"Fine, Anna, if you don't want this sweater, I will send it to someone who needs it more. There are many children who have no sweaters at all. They are colder than you. They would be happy to have this sweater. You are spoiled and ungrateful. You should be ashamed of yourself." Mom said. + +She took Anna by the hand and left the shop. Anna was still crying and kicking. She did not care about the other children. She only wanted the pink sweater. + +The next day, Anna got sick. She had a fever and a cough. She had to stay in bed. Mom came to see her. She brought her some soup and a blanket. + +"Mom, I'm sorry. I was bad. I want the green sweater. Can I have it back?" Anna said. + +"I'm sorry, Anna, but I already sent it away. I gave it to a charity that helps poor children. They will give it to someone who will appreciate it. You can't have it back. You have to learn your lesson. You have to be happy with what you have. You have to be kind and generous. You have to think of others. Maybe then you will feel better." Mom said. + +Anna felt sad and sorry. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had been nice to the green sweater. She wished she had the green sweater to keep her warm. She learned her lesson. She learned that cheap sweaters are better than expensive ones, if they are given with love. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to do everything together. They are loyal to each other. They share their toys, their clothes and their snacks. + +One day, Mom gives them a big apple. She says, "This is for you two. You can split it and enjoy it." Anna and Ben are happy. They love apples. They thank Mom and go to the kitchen. + +Anna takes a knife and cuts the apple in half. She gives one half to Ben and keeps the other half for herself. They bite into their apple pieces. They make a face. The apple is sour. They do not like the taste. + +"Yuck!" Anna says. "This apple is bad. I want a different one." + +"Me too!" Ben says. "This apple is not sweet. I want a better one." + +They go back to Mom and show her their apple halves. They say, "Mom, we do not like this apple. It is sour. Can we have another one?" + +Mom looks at them and smiles. She says, "I'm sorry, my loves. This is the only apple we have. Sometimes, apples are sour and sometimes they are sweet. You never know until you try. But you know what? Sour apples are good for you. They have vitamins and fiber. They make you strong and healthy. Why don't you finish your apple halves and then I will give you a cookie?" + +Anna and Ben think about it. They do not want to waste their apple. They do not want to hurt Mom's feelings. They want to be good twins. They also want a cookie. They decide to eat their apple halves, even if they do not like the taste. + +They take a deep breath and bite into their apple pieces again. They make a face again, but they do not say anything. They chew and swallow. They do this until their apple halves are gone. They look at each other and smile. They are proud of themselves. They are loyal to each other. + +They go back to Mom and show her their empty hands. They say, "Mom, we ate our apple halves. They were sour, but we did it. Can we have a cookie now?" + +Mom hugs them and kisses them. She says, "You are such good twins. You are brave and loyal. You deserve a cookie. Here you go. Enjoy your cookie. It is sweet and yummy. I love you both very much." + +Anna and Ben take their cookies and thank Mom. They go to the living room and sit on the couch. They bite into their cookies. They make a happy sound. The cookies are delicious. They love the taste. + +They look at each other and say, "This is the best cookie ever. We are so lucky. We have each other. We have Mom. We have cookies. We are happy." They hug each other and eat their cookies. They are loyal to each other. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their toy cars and trucks. They liked to make roads and bridges with sand and sticks. They also liked to watch the big machines that were working on a new building nearby. They saw a crane that could lift heavy things and move them around. + +"Look, Lily, the crane is so noisy!" Tom said. "It goes beep, beep, beep when it moves. And it makes a loud clank when it drops something." + +"I like the crane, Tom. It is so big and strong. It can help the workers build the new building. Maybe they will let us see it up close someday." Lily said. + +They kept playing and watching the crane until they heard their mom calling them. It was time to go home and have lunch. They packed their toy cars and trucks and ran to their mom. + +"Did you have fun, kids?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, mom, we had fun. We played with our toys and we watched the crane. The crane is very noisy, but it can help a lot." Tom said. + +"We like the crane, mom. It is big and strong. Can we see it again tomorrow?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe, if the weather is nice and the workers are still there. But now, let's go home and have some yummy food. You must be hungry after playing so much." Mom said. + +They got in the car and drove home. They waved goodbye to the crane and the workers. They hoped they would see them again soon. +Tim and Jen were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big jar on a bench. It was shiny and had a label with a picture of a bee. + +"Look, honey!" Jen said. "Let's open it and taste it." + +Tim was not sure. He felt troubled. He had heard that bees could sting and make you hurt. He urged Jen to leave the jar alone. + +"No, I want honey!" Jen said. She reached for the jar and twisted the lid. But the lid was stuck. She pulled harder and harder, until the jar slipped from her hands and fell to the ground. + +CRASH! + +The jar broke into pieces. A swarm of angry bees flew out of the jar and buzzed around Tim and Jen. They were not happy that their home was smashed. + +"Run!" Tim shouted. He and Jen ran away from the bees as fast as they could. They ran to the other side of the park, where they found their moms. + +"Mommy, mommy, bees!" Jen cried. She had a red bump on her arm where a bee had stung her. + +"Mommy, mommy, sorry!" Tim said. He felt bad that he had not stopped Jen from breaking the jar. + +Their moms hugged them and gave them ice and kisses. They told them that bees make honey, but they also need to be left alone. They said that Tim and Jen should be more careful and listen to their feelings. + +Tim and Jen nodded. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with something else next time. Maybe a ball or a kite. But not a jar. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box under a tree. They are curious. They go to the box and open it. + +Inside the box, they find a small cat. The cat is pale and thin. It looks sad and scared. Sara and Tom feel sorry for the cat. They want to help it. + +"Hello, cat. What is your name?" Sara asks. The cat does not answer. It only meows softly. + +"Maybe it is hungry. Let's give it some food," Tom says. He takes out a sandwich from his backpack and breaks it into pieces. He puts some pieces near the cat. The cat sniffs the food and eats it slowly. + +"Good, cat. You are eating. Do you feel better?" Tom asks. The cat looks at Tom and purrs. It seems to like him. + +"Can we take it home?" Sara asks. She wants to keep the cat as a pet. + +"I don't know. We have to ask our moms and dads first. Maybe they will say no," Tom says. He is not sure if they can have a cat. + +"Let's ask them. Maybe they will say yes. The cat needs a home. It cannot stay in the box," Sara says. She picks up the cat and holds it gently. The cat cuddles with her. + +"Okay. Let's go. But we have to be careful. The cat is still pale and weak. We have to set it down softly," Tom says. He closes the box and carries it. He follows Sara to their homes. They hope their moms and dads will let them keep the cat. They hope the cat will be happy with them. +One day, a boy went to the park with his mom. He saw a big slide and wanted to try it. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He looked down and felt fearful. The slide was very high and steep. + +"Mom, I'm scared!" he shouted. "Can you help me?" + +Mom heard him and came to the slide. She smiled and said, "Don't be scared, my sweet boy. You can do it. Just slide down and I'll catch you. It will be fun." + +The boy trusted his mom and tried to slide down. But he was too fearful and he closed his eyes. He did not see the big hole in the slide. He slid into the hole and fell to the ground. He hurt his head and his arm. He cried very loud. + +Mom saw what happened and ran to the boy. She was very sad and angry. She hugged the boy and said, "I'm so sorry, my sweet boy. I didn't know there was a hole in the slide. You are very brave. Let's go to the doctor and make you feel better." + +But the boy did not feel better. He had a big bump on his head and a broken arm. He was afraid of slides and of mom. He did not trust her anymore. He did not smile anymore. He had a bad ending. +Lily and Tom were playing outside 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 having fun, but they were also very cold. + +"Brrr, I'm shivering!" Lily said. "Me too!" Tom said. "Let's go home and have some hot cocoa." They said goodbye to their snowman and ran to their house. + +When they got home, their mom was waiting for them. She smiled and hugged them. "You look like two snowflakes!" she said. "Come on, let's warm up by the fire." She took them to the living room, where a cozy fire was crackling. + +She gave them each a mug of hot cocoa with marshmallows. They sipped their cocoa and felt their fingers and toes get warm. They told their mom about their snowman and how much fun they had. + +Mom listened and nodded. She was happy to see them happy. She said, "I have a surprise for you. Look under the tree." Lily and Tom looked and saw two big boxes wrapped in pink paper. They gasped and smiled. "Are those for us?" they asked. Mom nodded and said, "Yes, they are. You can open them now. They are early Christmas presents." + +Lily and Tom thanked their mom and ran to the tree. They tore the paper and opened the boxes. Inside, they found two fluffy blankets, one pink and one blue. They were soft and warm and had their names on them. They hugged their blankets and their mom. They felt very happy and loved. They said, "This is the best day ever!" Mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you think so. I love you very much." They said, "We love you too, Mom." They snuggled on the couch with their blankets and their cocoa and watched the fire. They felt cozy and safe in their home. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play with water. They had a big tub in their backyard where they filled it with water and toys. They also had a hose that sprayed water everywhere. They loved to soak each other and their toys with the hose. + +One day, they found a shiny pin on the ground. It was silver and had a pretty flower on it. Lila wanted to keep it, but Ben wanted to play with it. They argued and pulled the pin from each other. + +"Give me the pin, Lila! It is mine!" Ben shouted. + +"No, it is mine! I saw it first!" Lila yelled. + +They tugged and tugged until the pin broke in half. They both cried and dropped the pieces. Then they saw a lady walking by. She was wearing a nice dress and a hat. She looked wealthy and happy. + +"Hello, children. What are you doing?" she asked. + +"We are playing with water, but we broke our pin," Lila said, pointing at the pieces. + +"Oh, I'm sorry. That was my pin. I dropped it when I was walking by. It was a gift from my grandmother. It was very special to me," the lady said, picking up the pieces. + +Lila and Ben felt bad. They had broken the lady's pin. They wanted to make her feel better. + +"We are sorry, lady. We didn't know it was yours. We thought it was just a toy. Can we give you something else?" Ben asked. + +The lady smiled. She saw that they were sorry and kind. + +"That's very sweet of you, but you don't have to. I have many things, but you have each other. That's more important than a pin. Just promise me that you will share and be nice to each other, okay?" she said. + +Lila and Ben nodded. They hugged each other and said sorry. They also said thank you to the lady. She gave them each a piece of candy and a kiss on the cheek. Then she walked away. + +Lila and Ben went back to their tub. They played with water and their toys. They also played with the pieces of the pin. They made them into necklaces and gave them to each other. They were happy and soaked. +Tom and Anna are playing in the kitchen. They want to make a cake for Mom. They find a big bowl, some flour, some eggs, and some sugar. They also find a teaspoon to measure the sugar. + +"Let's put some sugar in the bowl," Tom says. He kneels on a chair and reaches for the teaspoon. But he drops it on the floor. It makes a loud noise. + +"Uh-oh," Anna says. She looks at the door. She is scared that Mom will come and see the mess. "We have to be quiet, Tom. Mom is sleeping." + +Tom nods. He gets down from the chair and picks up the teaspoon. He wipes it on his shirt. He climbs back on the chair and scoops some sugar. He pours it in the bowl. + +"Good job, Tom," Anna says. She cracks an egg and adds it to the bowl. She stirs the mixture with a spoon. "Now we need some flour." + +Tom reaches for the flour. But he grabs it too hard. The bag rips open. Flour flies everywhere. It covers Tom, Anna, the bowl, and the floor. + +"Oops," Tom says. He sneezes. Anna giggles. + +They hear a voice from the door. It is Mom. She is awake. She sees the floury mess. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing, kids?" Mom asks. She sounds angry. + +Tom and Anna look at Mom. They are scared. They don't know what to say. + +"We are making a cake for you, Mom," Tom says. He holds up the bowl. "Do you like it?" +Sam was a strong boy who liked to help his mom and dad. He could carry heavy things and open hard jars. He also liked to talk to his grandma on the phone. She lived far away and always sent him nice cards and gifts. + +One day, Sam's mom told him that grandma was sick and had to go to the hospital. Sam was sad and worried. He wanted to see grandma and make her feel better. He asked his mom if he could call grandma on the phone. + +"Of course, Sam. But you have to be quiet and gentle. Grandma is very tired and needs to rest," his mom said. + +Sam nodded and took the phone. He dialed grandma's number and waited. He heard a beep and then grandma's voice. + +"Hello, who is this?" grandma asked. + +"Hi, grandma. It's me, Sam. I miss you and I love you," Sam said. + +"Sam, my sweet boy. I miss you and I love you too. How are you?" grandma said. + +"I'm good, grandma. I'm strong and I help mom and dad. I got your card and your gift. Thank you, grandma. They are very nice," Sam said. + +"You're welcome, Sam. I'm glad you like them. You're such a good and strong boy. I'm proud of you," grandma said. + +"Grandma, are you okay? Are you in pain?" Sam asked. + +"I'm okay, Sam. The doctors are taking good care of me. They gave me some medicine and a special bed. I just need some time to get better," grandma said. + +"Can I see you soon, grandma? Can I come to the hospital?" Sam asked. + +"Maybe, Sam. But not right now. The hospital is not a fun place for little boys. You have to stay home and be safe. But you can call me anytime you want. I like to hear your voice," grandma said. + +"Okay, grandma. I will call you again tomorrow. I hope you get better soon. I want to hug you and kiss you," Sam said. + +"Me too, Sam. Me too. I love you, Sam. Goodbye for now," grandma said. + +"Bye, grandma. I love you," Sam said. + +He hung up the phone and gave it back to his mom. He saw that his mom had tears in her eyes. He hugged her and said, "Don't cry, mom. Grandma will be okay. She is strong like me." +Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were spies and hide behind the sofa and the chairs. They had a toy phone and a flashlight to talk and signal to each other. + +"Ben, Ben, can you hear me?" Anna whispered into the phone. "I see the bad guy. He is coming this way. He has a big hat and a long coat. He looks very mean." + +"Anna, Anna, be careful!" Ben whispered back. "I have a plan. When he walks on the rug, I will turn on the flashlight and say 'freeze'. Then you will jump out and catch him. OK?" + +"OK, Ben, I'm ready," Anna said. She hid behind the sofa and waited for the bad guy. + +The bad guy was their dad. He was coming home from work and wanted to surprise them. He did not know they were playing spies. He walked into the living room and stepped on the rug. + +"Freeze!" Ben shouted and turned on the flashlight. "You are under arrest, bad guy!" + +Anna jumped out from behind the sofa and ran towards him. "We got you, we got you!" she yelled. + +Their dad was very surprised. He pretended to be scared and put his hands up. "Oh no, you caught me, you clever spies!" he said. "Please don't take me to jail!" + +Anna and Ben laughed. They hugged their dad and gave him a kiss. "We're just playing, daddy," Anna said. "We love you." + +Their dad smiled. He was very jolly. He picked them up and spun them around. "I love you too, my little spies," he said. "You are the best." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Anna has a big elephant toy. She loves her elephant. She hugs it hard every day. + +One day, Ben comes to Anna's house. He sees the elephant toy. He wants to play with it. He says, "Can I have the elephant? It is so big and soft." + +Anna says, "No, it is mine. You can play with other toys. The elephant is my best friend. I hug it hard every day." + +Ben is sad. He says, "But I like the elephant too. Please, can I hug it once?" + +Anna thinks. She likes Ben. He is her friend. She says, "OK, you can hug it once. But be gentle. Don't hug it too hard." + +Ben is happy. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend." He hugs the elephant softly. He says, "The elephant is nice. I like it." + +Anna smiles. She says, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too." She hugs the elephant hard. She says, "The elephant likes you too. We can share it." + +Anna and Ben play with the elephant and other toys. They have fun. They are friends. +Tim and Jen are restless. They do not want to sit and learn. They want to run and play. The teach is angry. She says, "You must listen and do your work. Or you will not get a star." + +But Tim and Jen do not care. They wait for the teach to look away. Then they run out of the door. They laugh and shout. They think they are smart. + +But they are not smart. They are silly. They do not see the big car. The car is fast and loud. It does not stop. It hits Tim and Jen. They fall and cry. They hurt a lot. + +The teach hears the noise. She runs out of the door. She sees Tim and Jen. She is scared and sad. She calls for help. She says, "Why did you run? Why did you not listen? You are in trouble now." + +Tim and Jen are sorry. They wish they had stayed and learned. They wish they had not run and played. They wish they had a star. But it is too late. They have no star. They have only pain. +Lily and Ben were having lunch with their mom. Mom made them sandwiches with cheese and ham. She also gave them some carrots and apples to eat. Lily and Ben liked their lunch, but they wanted to try something new. + +"Mom, can we have some of that red sauce on our sandwiches?" Lily asked, pointing to a bottle on the table. + +"That's ketchup, Lily. It's very spicy. You might not like it," Mom said. + +"Please, Mom. We want to try it. We are big kids now," Ben said. + +Mom smiled and poured a little bit of ketchup on their plates. "Okay, but be careful. It might make your mouth hot." + +Lily and Ben dipped their sandwiches in the ketchup and took a big bite. They felt a burning sensation in their tongues and lips. They gasped and coughed. Their eyes watered and their noses ran. + +"Hot! Hot! Hot!" Lily and Ben cried. + +Mom gave them some water and milk to drink. She also gave them some napkins to wipe their faces. + +"I told you it was spicy. Are you okay?" Mom asked. + +Lily and Ben nodded, but they still felt the heat in their mouths. They did not want any more ketchup. + +Just then, they saw a fox outside the window. The fox was looking for food. It saw the bottle of ketchup on the table and jumped through the open window. It grabbed the bottle and ran away. + +"Hey, that's our ketchup!" Lily and Ben shouted. + +They ran after the fox, but it was too fast. It disappeared into the woods. + +"Come back, you naughty fox!" Mom called. + +But the fox did not come back. It opened the bottle and licked the ketchup. It liked the spicy taste. It ate the whole bottle and felt very happy. + +Lily and Ben came back to the house. They were sad and angry. They wanted their ketchup back. + +"Mom, the fox stole our ketchup. It's not fair," Lily said. + +"Mom, the fox is mean. It should share," Ben said. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. The fox was hungry and curious. It did not know any better. Maybe it will learn to be more polite and careful next time. And maybe you will learn to be more grateful and cautious next time. Spicy things are not for everyone. Sometimes, simple things are better." + +Lily and Ben thought about what Mom said. They realized that she was right. They did not need ketchup to enjoy their lunch. They had cheese and ham and carrots and apples. They had water and milk and napkins. They had Mom and each other. They were happy. + +They smiled and said, "We love you, Mom. And we love our lunch. Thank you." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you, too. And you're welcome. Now, let's finish our lunch and clean up. And maybe later, we can make some cookies for dessert. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Ben clapped and cheered. They said, "That sounds great, Mom. We love cookies. And we love you." + +The end. + +Moral value: Be grateful for what you have and be careful with what you try. +Tom and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their toys in the yard. One day, they found a big machine in the garage. It had many buttons and wheels and pipes. + +"What is this?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it can do something cool," Sam said. + +They climbed on the machine and looked around. They saw a big hole on the top. They wondered what would happen if they put something in it. + +"Let's fill it with rocks and sticks and leaves," Tom said. + +"OK, let's do it," Sam said. + +They ran to the yard and gathered rocks and sticks and leaves. They brought them to the machine and threw them in the hole. The machine made a loud noise and shook. + +"Wow, look!" Tom said. + +They saw a big pipe on the side of the machine. It was spitting out something shiny and colorful. It looked like candy. + +"Wow, it's making candy!" Sam said. + +They ran to the pipe and caught the candy. They tasted it. It was sweet and yummy. + +"This is the best machine ever!" Tom said. + +"It's a mighty machine!" Sam said. + +They laughed and ate the candy. They were happy. They decided to share the candy with their friends. They filled their pockets and ran to the street. They met their friends and gave them some candy. + +"Where did you get this?" their friends asked. + +"We found a mighty machine in the garage. It can fill anything with candy," Tom and Sam said. + +"Can we see it?" their friends asked. + +"Sure, come with us," Tom and Sam said. + +They led their friends to the garage. They showed them the machine. They filled it with more rocks and sticks and leaves. The machine made more candy. They all had fun. They all liked the mighty machine. +Lily and Anna are sisters who like to play dress-up. They have a big box of jewelry that their mom gave them. They have necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings. They like to wear different jewelry every day. + +One day, Lily and Anna wanted to wear the same necklace. It was shiny and had many colors. They both reached for it at the same time. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. + +"No, it's mine!" Anna said. + +They pulled the necklace from each other. They were very competitive. They did not want to share. + +The necklace broke. The beads fell on the floor. Lily and Anna cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken necklace and the sad sisters. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. + +"We wanted the same necklace, but it broke!" Lily said. + +"We were both competitive, and we did not share!" Anna said. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, girls. I know you like the necklace, but it's not worth fighting over. Jewelry is just a thing. You are sisters, and you should love each other. Can you say sorry to each other and make up?" + +Lily and Anna looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry and hugged each other. + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good. I'm proud of you. Now, let's see if we can fix the necklace. Maybe we can even make it longer and increase the beads. Then you can both wear it and share it." + +Lily and Anna nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. Thank you, Mom. We love you, Mom." + +They helped Mom fix the necklace. They added more beads and made it longer. They took turns wearing it and admiring each other. They were happy and not competitive anymore. They learned to share and care. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play and joke with each other. One day, they find a coin on the ground. It is shiny and white. They think it is a special coin. + +They run to the shop and show the coin to the man. They say, "Can we buy something with this coin?" The man looks at the coin and smiles. He says, "This is not a real coin. It is a joke coin. It is made of plastic. You can use it to trick people." + +Tim and Mia are surprised. They do not know what trick means. They ask the man, "What is trick?" The man says, "Trick is when you make someone believe something that is not true. For example, you can give this coin to someone and say it is real. But when they try to use it, they will see it is fake. That is a joke." + +Tim and Mia think this is funny. They say, "Thank you, man. We will try to joke with someone." They take the coin and run away. They look for someone to joke with. They see a lady with a dog. The dog is white and fluffy. They like the dog. + +They go to the lady and say, "Hello, lady. We like your dog. Can we pet your dog?" The lady says, "Sure, you can pet my dog. He is very friendly. What are your names?" They say, "We are Tim and Mia. We have a gift for you. It is a special coin. It is shiny and white. You can buy something with it." + +The lady says, "Thank you, Tim and Mia. You are very kind. Can I see the coin?" They give her the coin and smile. They wait for her to see it is a joke. But the lady does not see it. She says, "Wow, this is a beautiful coin. It looks like silver. Where did you find it?" They say, "We found it on the ground. It is yours now." + +The lady says, "Thank you, thank you. You are very lucky. This coin must be worth a lot. I will keep it in my purse. You made my day. You are very sweet." She hugs them and kisses them. She says, "Bye, Tim and Mia. Have a nice day." She walks away with her dog. + +Tim and Mia are confused. They do not understand why the lady did not see the joke. They look at each other and shrug. They say, "Maybe she likes joke coins. Maybe she likes to joke too. Maybe she is joking with us." They laugh and run to find another person to joke with. They still have fun with the coin. +Tom and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But their favorite thing was to look for pebbles. They liked to find pebbles of different colors, shapes and sizes. They put them in their pockets or in a small bag. + +One day, they found a very special pebble. It was shiny and smooth, like a pearl. But it was also very dirty. It had mud and grass on it. Tom and Mia wanted to see how it looked when it was clean. They decided to take it home and wash it. + +"Can I hold it?" Mia asked Tom. + +"OK, but be careful. It's our treasure," Tom said. + +Mia took the pebble and smiled. She felt its weight and warmth in her hand. She rubbed it gently with her fingers. She wanted to make it sparkle. + +But then, something bad happened. Mia tripped on a rock and fell. She dropped the pebble. It rolled away and into a hole. Mia and Tom ran after it, but they could not reach it. It was too deep and dark. + +"Oh no! We lost our pebble!" Mia cried. + +"Don't cry, Mia. We'll find it. We'll restore it," Tom said. + +He looked around and saw a stick. He picked it up and tried to poke the hole. He hoped to push the pebble out. But the stick was too short and thin. It did not work. + +"Maybe we need something else. Something longer and stronger," Tom said. + +He thought hard. He remembered that his dad had a tool in the garage. It was long and metal and had a hook at the end. It was called a rake. Tom thought that maybe they could use the rake to get the pebble out. + +"Come on, Mia. Let's go home and get the rake. Then we'll come back and get our pebble," Tom said. + +"OK, Tom. Let's go," Mia said. + +They ran home and asked their dad for the rake. He gave it to them and asked what they needed it for. They told him about their pebble and how they lost it in the hole. He smiled and said he was proud of them for trying to restore it. He said he would help them if they needed. + +Tom and Mia thanked their dad and ran back to the park. They found the hole and used the rake to hook the pebble. They pulled it out and cheered. They had their pebble back. They washed it with water and saw how it shone in the sun. It was beautiful. + +They hugged each other and their pebble. They were happy. They had restored their treasure. +Jill and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a penny on the floor. It is shiny and round. They both want the penny. + +"I saw it first!" Jill says. She tries to grab the penny. + +"No, I saw it first!" Ben says. He pulls the penny away. + +They do not share. They do not say sorry. They do not have fun. They are mad. + +Mom sees them. She is not happy. She takes the penny from them. + +"You need to learn to share," Mom says. "The penny is not yours. It is for the piggy bank." + +She puts the penny in the piggy bank. It makes a clink sound. + +Jill and Ben look at the piggy bank. It is big and pink. It has many pennies inside. + +"Wow!" Jill says. "The piggy bank has a lot of pennies!" + +"Yes!" Ben says. "Maybe we can buy something with them!" + +They smile. They hug. They say sorry. They are glad. + +They ask Mom if they can do something with the pennies. Mom says yes. She helps them count the pennies. They have enough to buy a new book. + +They go to the store. They find a book they like. It has pictures and words. They pay with the pennies. They say thank you. + +They go home. They read the book together. They share. They have fun. They are happy. +There was a child who liked to twist everything. He twisted his toys, his clothes, his hair, and even his food. He thought it was fun to make things look different and funny. He did not listen to his mom and dad, who told him to stop twisting things and be careful. + +One day, he found a big rope in the yard. He wanted to twist it and see what would happen. He took the rope and wrapped it around his chubby arms and legs. He twisted and twisted until he was all tangled up. He could not move or breathe. He felt scared and hurt. + +He tried to call for help, but no one heard him. His mom and dad were inside the house, busy with other things. They did not know where he was or what he was doing. He wished he had listened to them and not twisted the rope. He wished he could untwist himself and be free. But it was too late. He twisted too much and too hard. He twisted himself to death. + +The moral of the story is: Do not twist things that can hurt you or trap you. Listen to your mom and dad, who love you and want you to be safe. Be happy with what you have and do not make trouble. Twisting can be fun, but only in moderation and with caution. +Tom was very tired. He had played all day with his toys and his friends. He rubbed his eyes and yawned. He wanted to go to bed. + +"Mom, can you read me a story?" he asked. + +"Of course, my dear," Mom said. She picked a book from the shelf and sat on the bed with Tom. She opened the book and read in a soft voice. + +Tom listened to the story. It was about a large lion who lived in the jungle. The lion was very brave and strong, but he was also kind and friendly. He helped the other animals when they were in trouble. + +Tom liked the story. He imagined he was the lion, roaring and running in the jungle. He smiled and yawned again. + +"Did you like the story, Tom?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom, I liked it very much. Thank you," Tom said. + +"You're welcome, my dear. Now it's time to sleep. Good night, Tom," Mom said. She kissed him on the forehead and tucked him in. She pulled the sheet over him and turned off the light. + +"Good night, Mom. I love you," Tom said. + +"I love you too, Tom," Mom said. She closed the door and left. + +Tom closed his eyes and fell asleep. He dreamed of the large lion and the jungle. He was happy and warm under the sheet. He did not yawn anymore. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big truck and Lily had a doll. Tom liked to make loud noises with his truck and Lily liked to dress up her doll. + +"Look at my doll, Tom. She has a pretty dress and a bow in her hair," Lily said, holding up her doll. + +"I don't care about your doll, Lily. My truck is better. It can go fast and make vroom vroom sounds," Tom said, driving his truck on the floor. + +Tom drove his truck too fast and bumped into Lily's doll. The doll fell down and her arm broke off. + +"Tom, you broke my doll! You are mean!" Lily cried, picking up her doll. + +"I didn't mean to break your doll, Lily. I'm sorry," Tom said, feeling bad. + +Tom wanted to make Lily happy again. He looked around and saw a wrap on the couch. It was red and soft. He had an idea. + +"Here, Lily. I can fix your doll. Give me her arm," Tom said, grabbing the wrap. + +Tom wrapped the wrap around the doll's arm and tied a knot. He gave the doll back to Lily. + +"See, Lily. Your doll is not broken anymore. She has a wrap on her arm. She is brave and strong," Tom said, smiling. + +Lily looked at her doll. She saw the wrap on her arm. She smiled too. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are nice. My doll is happy now. She has a wrap on her arm. She is brave and strong," Lily said, hugging her doll. + +Tom and Lily hugged each other. They were happy. They played with their toys together. +Sam and Mia were playing with their toy box. They liked to make different things with the blocks, cars, dolls and animals. Sam made a big tower with the blocks. He put a skull on top of the tower. He said, "This is my castle. The skull is the king. He is scary and strong." + +Mia wanted to play with the skull. She liked the skull. It had big teeth and holes for eyes. She said, "Can I have the skull, Sam? I want to make a necklace with it. It will be pretty and shiny." + +Sam said, "No, Mia. The skull is mine. You can't have it. It is part of my castle. Go find something else to play with." + +Mia was sad and angry. She did not like Sam's answer. She wanted the skull very much. She waited until Sam was not looking. Then she ran to the tower and grabbed the skull. She said, "Ha ha, I have the skull now. It is mine. You can't stop me." + +Sam saw Mia take the skull. He was shocked and mad. He shouted, "Hey, Mia, give me back the skull. You are not nice. You are a thief. You ruined my castle." + +He ran after Mia and tried to get the skull back. Mia ran away and tried to keep the skull. They both made loud noises. They pushed and pulled and fought over the skull. + +Their mom heard the loud noises. She came to see what was wrong. She saw Sam and Mia fighting over the skull. She was not happy. She said, "Sam, Mia, stop fighting right now. What are you doing? Why are you playing with a skull? Where did you get it?" + +Sam and Mia stopped fighting. They looked at their mom. They felt scared and guilty. They did not know how to answer. They did not know where the skull came from. They found it in the toy box. They did not know it was a real skull. They thought it was a toy. They did not know they were playing with a bone from a dead person. They did not know they were in trouble. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big slide. Ben wants to go first. He runs to the slide. He does not look where he is going. He trips on a rock. He falls down. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Mia runs to Ben. She says, "Are you okay, Ben? I am sorry you tripped. Do you want a hug?" + +Ben feels ashamed. He does not want to cry. He does not want a hug. He says, "No, I am fine. Go away. It is your fault. You made me trip." + +Mia feels sad. She did not make Ben trip. She wants to help him. She says, "No, Ben, I did not make you trip. It was an accident. Please do not be mad at me. We are friends." + +Ben feels sorry. He knows Mia is right. He is not mad at her. He is mad at himself. He says, "I am sorry, Mia. You are a good friend. I was mean to you. Can you forgive me?" + +Mia feels happy. She smiles. She says, "Of course, Ben. I forgive you. Come on, let's go to the slide. We can go together." + +Ben feels better. He wipes his tears. He says, "Okay, Mia. Let's go. Thank you for being nice to me." + +They hold hands. They go to the slide. They slide down. They laugh. They have fun. They are friends. +Ben and Sam are young brothers. They like to play in the yard. One day, they see a big bird nest in the tree. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's climb the tree and look at the nest," Ben says. + +"OK, but be careful," Sam says. + +They climb the tree and reach the nest. They see four eggs in the nest. The eggs are blue and speckled. They are very pretty. + +"Wow, look at the eggs!" Ben says. "Can we touch them?" + +"No, we can't," Sam says. "They belong to the bird. We should leave them alone." + +But Ben does not listen. He reaches out his hand and picks up one egg. He holds it in his palm and smiles. + +"Look, I have an egg!" he says. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud squawk. The bird is back. It is very angry. It sees Ben holding its egg. It flies at Ben and pecks his face. Ben drops the egg. It falls to the ground and breaks. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cries. He covers his face with his hands. He blinks his eyes and sees blood. + +"Ben, Ben, are you OK?" Sam asks. He is scared. + +The bird is still squawking. It flaps its wings and chases Sam. Sam tries to climb down the tree, but he slips and falls. He lands on the grass and hurts his leg. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam cries. He holds his leg and sees blood. + +The bird flies away. It goes back to its nest and sees its broken egg. It is very sad. It cries. + +Ben and Sam are lying on the ground. They are hurt and sorry. They wish they had not touched the eggs. They wish they had listened to Sam. They cry. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. Spot is a big, brown dog who likes to run and bark. + +One day, they go to the park with their mom. They see a big oak tree with many leaves. Tom and Lily want to climb the tree, but mom says no. She says it is too high and they might fall. + +"Can we play under the tree, mom?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, you can, but be careful of the acorns. They are hard and they can hurt you if they hit you," mom says. + +Tom and Lily run to the tree with Spot. They see many acorns on the ground. They pick some up and throw them to Spot. Spot tries to catch them with his mouth, but he misses. He barks and wags his tail. + +Tom and Lily laugh. They think Spot is funny. They look for more acorns. They find a big one that is shiny and smooth. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big acorn!" Tom says. + +"Wow, Tom, it is very big. Can I see it?" Lily says. + +Tom gives the acorn to Lily. She holds it in her hand. She feels it is heavy and warm. + +"It is a nice acorn, Tom. Can we keep it?" Lily says. + +"Sure, Lily, we can keep it. It is our acorn. We can take it home and show it to dad," Tom says. + +They put the acorn in their pocket. They are happy. They hug each other and Spot. They are cheerful. They go back to mom and tell her about their acorn. Mom smiles and says they are lucky. They go home and show their acorn to dad. Dad says it is a beautiful acorn. He says they can put it on the shelf in their room. Tom and Lily are proud. They love their acorn. They love their mom and dad and Spot. They love their oak tree. They love their park. They love their day. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the river. They had a big raft that they made with their dad. They took turns to paddle and steer the raft. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, they saw a big fish jump out of the water. It was shiny and fast. Tim wanted to catch it. He was careless. He did not listen to Sam, who told him to stay on the raft. He grabbed a net and jumped into the river. He tried to dive after the fish. + +But the river was deep and cold. Tim could not swim well. He felt scared. He could not see the fish or the raft. He shouted for help. + +Sam heard him and paddled quickly to him. He threw him a rope and pulled him back to the raft. He was angry and worried. He said, "Tim, you are silly and careless. You could have drowned. You should never dive into the river without me. Promise me you will not do that again." + +Tim was sorry and ashamed. He said, "I promise, Sam. I am sorry. I was silly and careless. Thank you for saving me. You are a good brother. I love you." + +Sam hugged him and said, "I love you too, Tim. But next time, listen to me. And let's go back to the shore. It is getting late and mom will be waiting for us." +Sam liked to play with his ball in the park. He liked to kick it, throw it and catch it. He had a lot of fun with his ball. But he also liked to see how far he could reach with his ball. He liked to reach for the sky, for the trees, for the birds. + +One day, he saw a big hill in the park. He thought it would be fun to reach the top of the hill with his ball. He ran up the hill, holding his ball. He was very happy. He reached the top of the hill and looked around. He saw a lot of things. He saw the park, the road, the cars, the people. He saw a big lake with ducks and fish. He saw a bridge over the lake. He wanted to reach the bridge with his ball. + +He threw his ball as hard as he could. He watched it fly in the air. He hoped it would land on the bridge. He ran after his ball, down the hill. He was very excited. He did not see the rock in his way. He tripped over the rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and his elbow. He cried out loud. He lost his ball. + +A man who was walking on the bridge heard his cry. He saw his ball on the bridge. He picked it up and walked down the hill. He saw Sam on the ground, crying. He felt sorry for him. He gave him his ball and helped him up. He said, "Are you okay, little boy? You were very foolish to throw your ball so far. You could have lost it or hurt yourself. You should be more careful next time." + +Sam took his ball and said, "Thank you, mister. I'm sorry. I was foolish. I wanted to reach the bridge with my ball. But I tripped and fell. It was not fun. It was bad. I will be more careful next time." + +The man smiled and said, "That's good, little boy. Now go and play with your ball. But don't reach too far. Just have fun." + +Sam nodded and said, "Okay, mister. Thank you. Goodbye." + +He ran back to the park, holding his ball. He played with his ball, but he did not reach too far. He learned his lesson. He had fun. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big swamp near their house. They want to go and look at it. + +"Can we go to the swamp, Mom?" Ben asks. + +"No, you can't. The swamp is dirty and dangerous. You might get lost or hurt. Stay away from it," Mom says. + +But Ben and Lily are curious. They wait until Mom is busy. Then they sneak out of the house. They run to the swamp. + +The swamp is wet and muddy. It smells bad. There are many bugs and frogs. Ben and Lily see a big log. They think it is a boat. They climb on it. + +"Let's go for a ride, Lily," Ben says. + +"Okay, Ben," Lily says. + +They push the log into the water. The log floats. Ben and Lily are happy. They pretend they are pirates. + +But soon, the log starts to sink. The water is deep and cold. Ben and Lily are scared. They scream for help. + +"Help! Help! We are in the swamp!" they cry. + +Mom hears them. She runs to the swamp. She sees them. She is angry and worried. She jumps into the water. She grabs them. She pulls them out of the swamp. + +"Ben and Lily, you are very naughty. You did not listen to me. You could have drowned. You are wet and dirty. You are poor swamp children now. How could you do this?" Mom scolds. + +Ben and Lily are sorry. They hug Mom. They say they are sorry. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We just wanted to see the swamp. We did not know it was so bad. We will not do it again. Please forgive us," they say. + +Mom is still angry. But she loves them. She forgives them. She takes them home. She gives them a bath. She gives them a hug. She tells them a story. She says she loves them. + +"Mom, we love you too. Thank you for saving us. You are the best mom ever," they say. + +They go to bed. They sleep well. They dream of nice things. They do not dream of the swamp. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they decide to perform a show for their moms. They dress up in funny clothes and make up songs and jokes. + +They go to the living room and stand in front of the window. They see their moms sitting on the couch, smiling and clapping. They are happy and proud. + +"Hello, hello, we are Anna and Ben. We are here to make you laugh and have fun. We are honest and kind, we never tell a lie. We hope you enjoy our show, we will try our best. Thank you, thank you, let's begin!" Anna says. + +Ben nods and starts to sing. He sings a silly song about a cat and a mouse. He makes funny faces and noises. Anna joins him and dances. They pretend to chase each other around the window. Their moms laugh and cheer. + +They finish their song and bow. They say, "That was our first act. We have more for you. Please stay and watch. We love you, moms. You are the best." They hug and kiss their moms. + +They go back to the window and get ready for their next act. They are happy and excited. They have fun performing their show. Their moms have fun watching them. They are a happy family. +Sara liked to read books. She read books about animals, princesses, and space. She learned many things from books. She wanted to be powerful like the people in the books. + +One day, she saw a new book in the library. It was about a girl who wore a magic skirt. The skirt gave her powers to fly, to talk to animals, and to make things happen. Sara wanted to read the book very much. She took the book and went to a corner. + +"Hello, can I read with you?" a boy asked. He was Ben, Sara's friend. He liked to read books too. + +"No, this is my book. Go away!" Sara said. She did not want to share the book. She wanted to have the magic skirt for herself. + +Ben felt sad. He went to find another book. He found a book about a boy who had a magic hat. The hat gave him powers to be invisible, to travel in time, and to solve problems. Ben started to read the book. He liked the book very much. + +Sara finished the book about the magic skirt. She was disappointed. The book did not have a happy ending. The girl who wore the magic skirt became greedy and selfish. She lost all her friends and her powers. She was lonely and unhappy. + +Sara wished she had not been rude to Ben. She wanted to read the book about the magic hat with him. She looked for Ben in the library. She saw him reading the book with a smile. + +"Ben, I'm sorry. Can I read with you?" Sara asked. + +Ben looked at Sara. He saw that she was sorry. He smiled and said, "Sure, you can read with me. This book is very good. It has a happy ending. The boy who wore the magic hat learned to be kind and generous. He made many friends and used his powers to help others. He was happy and powerful." + +Sara and Ben read the book together. They learned that sharing is better than keeping. They learned that being kind and generous is more powerful than being greedy and selfish. They became better friends and better readers. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. It was fall, their favorite season. They liked to see the leaves change color and fall from the trees. They liked to jump in the piles of leaves and make noise. + +They saw a big pile of leaves near the swings. They ran to it and jumped in. They laughed and threw leaves at each other. They had fun. + +But then, a big boy came. He was older and taller than them. He had a mean face and a loud voice. He said, "This is my pile of leaves. Go away. You are too small and silly to play here." + +Lily and Ben felt scared. They did not want to fight with the big boy. They wanted to play in peace. They thought about yielding and leaving the pile of leaves. But they also liked the pile of leaves. They had worked hard to make it. They did not want to give it up. + +Lily said to Ben, "We are brave. We can share the pile of leaves with the big boy. Maybe he is lonely and wants to play too. Maybe he is not so mean after all." + +Ben nodded. He said to Lily, "You are right. We are brave. We can be nice to the big boy and invite him to play with us. Maybe he will be nice too." + +They stood up and faced the big boy. They smiled and said, "Hello. We are Lily and Ben. We like this pile of leaves. Do you want to play with us? We can share and have fun together." + +The big boy was surprised. He did not expect them to be so brave and friendly. He felt ashamed of being rude and mean. He said, "Hello. I am Tom. I am sorry for being mean. I was bored and angry. I have no friends to play with. Can I play with you?" + +Lily and Ben said, "Yes, you can. We are happy to have a new friend. Come and join us. We can jump in the pile of leaves and make noise." + +They all ran to the pile of leaves and jumped in. They laughed and threw leaves at each other. They had fun. They learned to share and be kind. They became friends. They enjoyed the fall season. +Lily was a big girl who liked to help her mom. One day, her mom said, "Lily, can you teach your baby brother how to put on his pants? He is too small to do it by himself." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She took her brother's hand and led him to his room. She picked up a pair of blue pants and said, "Look, this is a pair of pants. They have two holes for your legs. You need to put one leg in each hole. Like this." She showed him how to slide his legs into the pants. + +Her brother watched and tried to copy her. He put one leg in a hole, but then he got stuck. He said, "Help, help! I can't do it!" + +Lily said, "Don't worry, I will help you. You need to pull the pants up to your waist. Like this." She helped him pull the pants up and fasten the button. She said, "There, you did it! You are wearing pants!" + +Her brother looked down and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily! You are a good teacher!" + +Lily hugged him and said, "You are welcome, brother! You are a good learner!" + +They ran to their mom and showed her their pants. Their mom said, "Wow, you both look great! Lily, you are such a big help! And brother, you are so smart! I am proud of you both!" + +They said, "We love you, mom!" + +They all hugged and laughed. Lily was happy to teach her brother something new. She thought, "Maybe next time I can teach him how to tie his shoes. Or how to sing a song. Or how to draw a picture. There are so many things to teach and learn!" +Lily and Max are twins. They like to eat cereal for breakfast. But they do not like to share. They always want to have more cereal than the other. + +One morning, Lily had an idea. She saw a ruler on the table. She said to Max, "Let's measure our cereal. Then we can see who has more." + +Max agreed. He thought he had more cereal than Lily. He took the ruler and put it in his bowl. He said, "Look, my cereal is five inches high. That is a lot of cereal." + +Lily took the ruler and put it in her bowl. She said, "No, my cereal is six inches high. That is more cereal than you." + +Max and Lily started to argue. They did not notice that their cereal was getting soggy. They did not notice that their cat, Milo, was watching them. Milo was hungry. He thought the cereal looked yummy. He jumped on the table and knocked over the bowls. The cereal spilled on the floor. + +Max and Lily stopped arguing. They saw the mess. They saw Milo licking the cereal. They said, "Oh no, our cereal!" + +Milo looked at them. He had a cute smile on his face. He said, "Meow, thank you for the cereal. It was delicious." +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big dog with a red collar. The dog looked friendly, so they went to pet it. + +"Hello, doggy. What is your name?" Tim asked. + +The dog wagged its tail and licked Tim's face. Sam smiled and rubbed the dog's ears. + +"Can we play with you, doggy?" Sam asked. + +The dog barked and ran away. Tim and Sam followed it, hoping to find its owner. They did not see the sign that said "Beware of the pond". + +The dog ran to the edge of the pond and jumped in. It splashed and swam happily. Tim and Sam stopped and watched. + +"Wow, the dog can swim!" Tim said. + +"Let's swim too!" Sam said. + +He took off his shoes and socks and ran into the water. Tim did the same. They did not know that the pond was deep and dirty. + +The water was cold and muddy. Tim and Sam could not see the bottom. They started to sink and cough. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. + +The dog heard them and swam back. It tried to rescue them, but it was too late. Tim and Sam drowned in the pond. + +The dog was sad and scared. It ran away again, looking for its owner. It did not find them. + +The next day, a man came to the park. He was the dog's owner. He had been searching for his dog for a long time. He was honest and put up posters with his phone number. + +He saw the sign that said "Beware of the pond". He saw the shoes and socks on the grass. He saw the police and the ambulance. He saw the bodies of Tim and Sam. + +He cried and hugged his dog. He wished he had found his dog sooner. He wished Tim and Sam had not followed his dog. He wished he had been more careful. He wished he could change what happened. But he could not. +Ben likes to record sounds with his toy phone. He likes to record his mom singing, his dad reading, and his dog barking. He also likes to record his own voice and play it back. + +One day, he sees a big bird in his backyard. It is black and white and has a long tail. Ben has never seen a bird like that before. He thinks it is rare and beautiful. He runs to get his toy phone and tries to record the bird's song. + +But the bird is shy and flies away when Ben comes near. Ben is sad and chases the bird. He wants to hear its song and record it. + +"Ben, stop!" his mom calls. "That bird is a magpie. It can be mean and bite you. Come back here!" + +Ben does not listen. He runs after the magpie until he reaches the fence. He sees the bird on a tree on the other side. He climbs the fence and jumps down. + +But he lands on something soft and squishy. It is a big pile of clothes. They belong to Mr. Lee, the neighbor. He is hanging them on a line to dry. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Mr. Lee shouts. "You are ruining my clothes!" + +Ben looks at the clothes. He sees a suit, a shirt, a tie, and a hat. They are all wet and dirty from his shoes. He feels bad and scared. + +"I'm sorry, Mr. Lee," he says. "I was trying to record the magpie. It is rare and beautiful." + +Mr. Lee looks at the magpie. He smiles and shakes his head. + +"That magpie is not rare, Ben. It is a pest. It steals shiny things and makes a lot of noise. It is not beautiful, either. It is a copycat. It can mimic other birds and even people. It is not worth recording." + +Ben is surprised. He did not know that about the magpie. He feels silly and fooled. + +He gives his toy phone to Mr. Lee and says, "Here, you can have this. Maybe you can record something better." + +Mr. Lee takes the toy phone and says, "Thank you, Ben. That is very kind of you. But you can keep it. You can record something better, too. Like your mom singing, your dad reading, or your dog barking. Those are rare and beautiful sounds." + +Ben nods and smiles. He says, "You are right, Mr. Lee. I will record those sounds. And I will help you clean your clothes, too." + +Mr. Lee says, "That is very nice of you, Ben. Come on, let's go inside and have some cookies." + +Ben and Mr. Lee go inside and have some cookies. They become friends. Ben learns to appreciate the rare and beautiful sounds around him. He does not chase the magpie anymore. He records his own voice and plays it back. He says, "I am Ben. I am rare and beautiful." +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with toys and watch cartoons. One day, they went to the toy store with their moms. Lily saw a big, modern dollhouse. It had many rooms, lights and sounds. She wanted it very much. + +"Mom, can I have this dollhouse, please?" Lily asked. + +"Sorry, honey, it's too expensive. Maybe for your birthday," her mom said. + +Lily felt sad. She looked at Ben. He had a small, old dollhouse in his hands. It was his favorite toy. He smiled and winked at her. + +"Hey, Lily, do you want to play with my dollhouse? It's fun, I promise," he said. + +Lily nodded. She liked Ben. He was nice and shared his toys. They went to a corner and played with the dollhouse. They pretended to be a family and had a tea party. + +But then, a big boy came. He was mean and rude. He saw the dollhouse and grabbed it. + +"Hey, this is mine now. It's better than yours. Go away, losers," he said. + +He pushed Ben and Lily. They fell on the floor. They cried and shouted. + +"Give it back, that's not yours. That's Ben's dollhouse. He loves it," Lily said. + +"Shut up, you're just jealous. You can't have the modern dollhouse, so you want this one. Well, too bad. It's mine now," the big boy said. + +He ran away with the dollhouse. He laughed and mocked them. + +Lily and Ben were very sad. They hugged each other and sobbed. Their moms came and tried to comfort them. They said they would buy them new toys. But Lily and Ben didn't want new toys. They wanted Ben's dollhouse. It was special to them. It reminded them of their friendship. They wished they could get it back. But they couldn't. The big boy was gone. And so was their dollhouse. The end. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with blocks and make towers. Sara can count to ten. Tom can only count to five. He wants to learn more numbers. + +One day, they find a big book of numbers in the library. Sara opens the book and points to the numbers. She says them out loud. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" + +Tom tries to say them too. But he gets stuck at six. He does not know the next number. He feels sad. He says, "I can't do it. I don't know the numbers. You are smarter than me." + +Sara shakes her head. She says, "No, Tom. You are not dumb. You just need to practice. I can help you. Look, this is seven. It has a line and a hook. And this is eight. It has two circles. Can you say them?" + +Tom looks at the book. He sees the line and the hook. He sees the two circles. He tries to say the numbers. He says, "Seven, eight." He smiles. He feels happy. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend. Can you show me more numbers?" + +Sara nods. She says, "Yes, Tom. I can show you more numbers. But first, let's put the book back. We need to be nice and tidy. And then we can play with the blocks again. Maybe we can make a tower with ten blocks. What do you think?" + +Tom agrees. He says, "Yes, Sara. That sounds fun. Let's do that. And then we can count the blocks together. Maybe I can learn more numbers. You are a good teacher." + +They put the book back on the shelf. They hold hands and walk to the blocks. They see a boy sitting on the floor. He has a lot of blocks. But he does not play with them. He just looks at them. He is lazy. + +Sara and Tom ask him, "Can we play with some of your blocks? We want to make a tower." + +The boy says, "No. These are my blocks. You can't have them. Go away." + +Sara and Tom feel angry. They say, "That's not fair. You have so many blocks. You don't need them all. You don't even play with them. You are mean and selfish." + +The boy says, "I don't care. These are my blocks. And I don't want to share. Go away or I will cry." + +Sara and Tom look at each other. They shrug. They say, "Fine. We don't need your blocks. We can find other blocks. And we can have more fun. And we can learn more numbers. You can cry if you want. But you will be alone and bored." + +They leave the boy and look for other blocks. They find some in a basket. They take them and start to build a tower. They count the blocks as they stack them. They say, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" + +They are proud of their tower. They are happy. They hug each other. They are friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. Today is a sunny day. They see many colorful things. They see red flowers, blue sky, green grass and yellow butterflies. + +They run and laugh. They enjoy today. They see a big hill. They want to go up the hill. They hold hands and climb. They are happy. + +When they reach the top, they see a rainbow. It has many colors. It is beautiful. They are amazed. + +"Wow, look at the rainbow!" Lily says. + +"It is so pretty!" Ben says. + +They sit and watch the rainbow. They smile. They enjoy today. They are friends. +Tim and Lily were playing hide and seek in the living room. Tim was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran behind the big armchair and crouched down. She hoped Tim would not find her there. + +Tim looked around the room. He saw the sofa, the table, the lamp, and the rug. He did not see Lily. He walked towards the armchair and paused. He heard a small sound behind it. He smiled and said, "I found you, Lily!" + +Lily gasped and came out from behind the armchair. She saw Tim standing there with a grin. She felt guilty. She had made a noise and given away her hiding spot. She said, "You're good at this game, Tim. How did you know I was there?" + +Tim pointed to the armchair. He said, "I saw your foot sticking out. You have to hide better, Lily. Do you want to play again?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, please. But this time, you hide and I seek. And no peeking!" + +Tim agreed. He said, "OK, OK. No peeking. Count to ten and then come find me." He ran to find a new hiding spot. Lily covered her eyes and started counting. She hoped she would find Tim this time. She liked playing hide and seek with her brother. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many leaves. Tom says, "I can teach you how to climb the tree. It is fun." + +Lily says, "OK, show me how." Tom goes first. He puts his hands and feet on the branches. He goes up and up. He reaches the top. He says, "Look, I am so high. I can see the whole park." + +Lily follows him. She is scared. She says, "Tom, this is too high. I want to go down." Tom says, "Don't worry, just follow me. It is easy." He starts to go down. He jumps from one branch to another. + +Lily tries to do the same. But she slips. She falls. She spins in the air. She lands on the grass. She is dizzy. She says, "Ouch, that hurts. I don't like climbing trees." + +Tom runs to her. He says, "Are you OK, Lily? I am sorry. I should have helped you." He hugs her. He says, "You are brave. You tried something new. But maybe climbing trees is not for you. How about we play something else?" + +Lily says, "Yes, please. How about we swing on the swings? That is fun too." Tom says, "OK, let's go. I can teach you how to swing high." They hold hands. They run to the swings. They laugh. They are friends. +Lily and Ben love pizza. They like to eat pizza with cheese and tomato and ham. Sometimes they share pizza with their friends at school. But today, they have no pizza. Their mom says the pizza man is late. + +They wait and wait and wait. They are very hungry. They hear a big noise outside. It is a fire truck. The fire truck is red and noisy. It has a siren and a ladder. Lily and Ben run to the window. They see the fire truck stop at the pizza shop. + +The pizza shop is on fire. There is smoke and flames. The firemen jump out of the fire truck. They wear yellow hats and coats. They have hoses and axes. They spray water on the fire. They break the door with the axes. They go inside the pizza shop. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They hope the pizza man is okay. They hope the pizza is okay. They watch the firemen work hard. They see the firemen come out of the pizza shop. They have the pizza man with them. He is coughing and dirty. He is holding a big box. It is the pizza box. + +The firemen rescue the pizza man and the pizza. They put the pizza man in an ambulance. They give the pizza box to Lily and Ben's mom. She says thank you. She gives them some money. She takes the pizza box inside. She opens it. It is their pizza. It is cheese and tomato and ham. It is hot and yummy. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They hug their mom. They say thank you to the firemen. They say sorry to the pizza man. They sit at the table. They eat their pizza. They share it with their friends. They say it is the best pizza ever. They say the firemen are heroes. They say they love pizza. +Lily liked to play with her mom's perfume. She liked how it smelled and how it made her feel pretty. But her mom did not allow her to use it. She said it was for grown-ups and that it was too strong for Lily. + +One day, when her mom was busy in the kitchen, Lily sneaked into her bedroom and found the perfume on the dresser. She sprayed some on her neck and wrists and smiled. She thought she smelled like a princess. She wanted to show her mom how pretty she was. + +She ran to the kitchen and hugged her mom. "Mom, look at me! I used your perfume!" she said proudly. + +Her mom frowned and sniffed. She was not happy. She pulled Lily away and looked at her sternly. "Lily, what did you do? You know you are not allowed to use my perfume. It is not for you. It is too strong and it can hurt your skin and eyes. And you wasted a lot of it. It is very expensive. You are in big trouble, young lady." + +Lily felt sad and scared. She did not mean to make her mom angry. She just wanted to be like her. She started to cry and said sorry. "Mom, I'm sorry. I just wanted to be pretty and successful like you. I love you and your perfume." + +Her mom sighed and hugged her back. She was still mad, but she also loved her. She wiped her tears and said softly. "Lily, you are already pretty and successful. You don't need perfume to be that. You are smart and kind and brave and funny. You are my precious daughter and I love you too. But you have to listen to me and follow the rules. Perfume is not for playing. It is for special occasions and for grown-ups. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said yes. She understood and she promised to never use her mom's perfume again. She asked her mom to forgive her and to still be her friend. Her mom smiled and kissed her. She said of course and that they were always friends. She said she was sorry too for yelling and that she was proud of her. She said they could find another way to have fun and feel pretty together. Maybe they could paint their nails or make some jewelry or bake some cookies. Lily liked those ideas and agreed. She hugged her mom and said thank you. She was happy again. She learned her lesson and she still smelled like a princess. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were famous spies on a mission. They had jackets with secret pockets and sunglasses to hide their eyes. + +"Look, Max, there is the bad guy!" Lily whispered, pointing to a man sitting on a bench. "He has the stolen treasure in his bag. We have to get it back!" + +"OK, Lily, follow me. We have to be very quiet and sneaky." Max said, leading the way. They crawled behind the bushes and the swings, getting closer to the bench. + +Suddenly, the man looked up and saw them. He jumped up and ran away, holding his bag tightly. Lily and Max chased him, shouting, "Stop, bad guy! Give us the treasure!" + +The man ran across the street, but a police car was coming. The police car stopped and the officer got out. He saw the man with the bag and the children behind him. + +"Hey, you, stop right there!" the officer said. "What are you doing with that bag?" + +The man was scared. He knew he was caught. He dropped the bag and put his hands up. + +"I surrender, I surrender!" he said. "Please don't arrest me!" + +The officer picked up the bag and opened it. He saw a lot of shiny jewels and gold inside. + +"Wow, this is the missing treasure from the museum!" he said. "You are a thief! You are under arrest!" + +He put handcuffs on the man and put him in the car. Then he turned to Lily and Max. + +"You two are very brave and smart!" he said. "You helped me catch the thief! You are famous spies!" + +Lily and Max smiled. They were happy and proud. They showed the officer their jackets and sunglasses. + +"Thank you, officer!" they said. "We are glad we could help!" + +The officer gave them a high-five and a badge. He drove away with the thief. Lily and Max waved goodbye. They had completed their mission. They were famous spies! +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They helped their mom make pizza for dinner. Sara was excited to put cheese and olives on her pizza. She loved olives. Ben did not like olives. He thought they were yucky and green. + +"Olives are gross," Ben said to Sara. "You are silly to eat them. They make your mouth smell bad." + +Sara felt sad and angry. She did not like when Ben teased her. She wanted him to stop. She said, "Olives are yummy. You are mean to say that. They do not make my mouth smell bad. You are just jealous because you do not have any." + +Ben laughed and teased her more. He said, "No, I am not jealous. I am glad I do not have any. You can have all the olives in the world. I will have pepperoni and pineapple. They are much better than olives." + +Sara felt more sad and angry. She decided to do something. She took some olives from her pizza and put them on Ben's pizza when he was not looking. She thought he would be surprised and stop teasing her. + +But when Ben saw the olives on his pizza, he was not surprised. He was very mad. He said, "Hey, what did you do? You put olives on my pizza. That is not nice. That is rude. You ruined my pizza. I do not want to eat it." + +Sara felt sorry. She did not mean to make Ben mad. She thought he would laugh and be nice. She said, "I am sorry, Ben. I did not want to ruin your pizza. I just wanted you to stop teasing me. I do not like when you tease me. It hurts my feelings." + +Ben felt sorry too. He realized he was wrong to tease Sara. He said, "I am sorry, Sara. I did not mean to hurt your feelings. I was just joking. I do not really care if you like olives or not. You can eat whatever you want. I should not have teased you. It was not kind." + +Sara and Ben hugged and said sorry to each other. They decided to share their pizzas and try each other's toppings. Sara tried pepperoni and pineapple and liked them. Ben tried olives and did not like them, but he did not say anything. He just smiled and ate them. They learned to respect each other's choices and not to tease each other. They enjoyed their pizza and had a happy dinner. +Ben likes to number his toys. He has many toys, but he likes his cars best. He has red cars, blue cars, green cars, and yellow cars. He puts a sticker on each car with a number. He says, "This is car one, this is car two, this is car three, and so on." + +One day, his friend Lily comes to play. She sees his cars and says, "Wow, you have so many cars! Can I play with them?" Ben says, "Yes, you can play with them, but you have to follow my rules. You have to number the cars like I do, and you have to know their value." + +Lily says, "What is value?" Ben says, "Value is how good something is. Some cars have more value than others. For example, yellow cars have more value than red cars, because yellow is my favorite color. So, yellow cars have bigger numbers than red cars." + +Lily says, "That is not fair. I like red cars more than yellow cars. Red cars are faster and prettier. Red cars should have bigger numbers than yellow cars." Ben says, "No, you are wrong. Yellow cars are better. Yellow cars have more value. You have to do what I say, because they are my cars." + +Lily and Ben start to argue. They both want to number the cars their way. They both think their color has more value. They do not want to share. They do not have fun. They forget to be nice. They forget to be friends. +Lily and Max were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. Mom said she would make pizza for them. Lily and Max were happy. They liked pizza a lot. + +Mom rolled the dough and put sauce and cheese on it. She asked Lily and Max what they wanted on their pizza. Lily wanted olives and Max wanted ham. Mom put olives and ham on the pizza and put it in the oven. + +Lily and Max waited for the pizza to be ready. They smelled the cheese and the sauce. They heard the oven beep. Mom took out the pizza and cut it into slices. She gave Lily and Max each a plate and a slice of pizza. + +Lily and Max looked at their pizza. It was hot and cheesy and yummy. They admired their pizza. They said, "Thank you, Mom. You make the best pizza." + +Mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily and Max. I'm glad you like it. Enjoy your pizza." + +Lily and Max took a bite of their pizza. It was delicious. They ate their pizza and felt full and happy. They gave Mom a hug and a kiss. They said, "We love you, Mom. And we love your pizza." +Ben liked to watch the pigeons in the park. They were gray and white and had shiny eyes. They moved fast and flew high in the sky. Sometimes they landed on the ground and ate bread or seeds. Ben wanted to feed them, but his mom said no. + +"Pigeons are dirty and can make you sick," she said. "They are not like pets. They are independent. They do what they want." + +Ben did not understand. He thought pigeons were nice and pretty. He wanted to be their friend. He saw a big bag of bread on a bench. Someone had left it there. Ben had an idea. He ran to the bag and took some bread. He broke it into small pieces and threw them on the grass. He hoped the pigeons would come. + +They did. Many pigeons flew down and started to eat the bread. Ben was happy. He smiled and clapped his hands. He moved closer to them. He wanted to touch them. He reached out his hand. + +But the pigeons did not like that. They were scared and angry. They flapped their wings and pecked at Ben. They made loud noises. Ben was surprised and hurt. He cried and ran back to his mom. + +His mom hugged him and checked his hand. It was red and had some marks. She cleaned it and put a band-aid on it. She was not happy. + +"Ben, what did you do?" she asked. "Why did you feed the pigeons? I told you not to." + +Ben sniffed and looked down. He was sorry. He did not mean to make the pigeons mad. He just wanted to play with them. + +"I wanted to be their friend," he said. + +His mom sighed and kissed his head. She understood. She was once a child too. She knew pigeons were not bad, just independent. They did not like to be touched. They liked to be free. + +"Ben, pigeons are not like friends," she said. "They are wild animals. They move where they want and when they want. They do not need us. They need the sky. We can watch them and admire them, but we cannot feed them or touch them. Do you understand?" + +Ben nodded. He understood. He was still sad, but he learned something. He looked at the pigeons again. They were still eating the bread. They did not care about him. They moved as they pleased. They were independent. Ben was too. He decided to play with something else. He saw a ball and a dog. He ran to them. He hoped they would be his friend. +Sam was hungry. He wanted a sandwich. He asked his mom for a sandwich. Mom said, "Okay, Sam, but first you have to help me with something. It is very important." + +Sam was curious. He asked, "What is it, mom?" Mom said, "We have to make a card for grandma. She is sick and she will feel happy if we send her a card. Do you want to help me?" Sam nodded. He loved grandma. + +Mom gave Sam some paper, crayons, and stickers. Sam drew a picture of himself and grandma. He wrote, "I love you, grandma" with mom's help. He put some stickers on the card. He felt proud of his card. Mom said, "Good job, Sam! You are very kind and thoughtful. Grandma will love your card." + +Mom put the card in an envelope and wrote grandma's address. She said, "Let's go to the mailbox and send the card. Then we can make a sandwich for you." Sam smiled. He held mom's hand and walked to the mailbox. He put the card in the slot. He felt excited. He hoped grandma would get the card soon. + +Mom and Sam went back to the kitchen. Mom made a sandwich for Sam. She cut it in half and gave him a plate. Sam said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best." Mom said, "You are welcome, Sam. You are the best, too." Sam ate his sandwich. He felt happy and full. He gave mom a hug and a kiss. He said, "I love you, mom." Mom said, "I love you, too, Sam." They felt important and loved. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with cars and trucks. They had many cars and trucks of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them go fast and slow, and make noises like vroom and beep. + +One day, they decided to discuss their cars and trucks. They wanted to see who had the best ones. Lily said, "My red car is the best. It is shiny and big and fast. It can go over any hill or bump." Tom said, "No, my blue truck is the best. It is strong and heavy and loud. It can carry anything or push anything." + +They argued and argued. They did not listen to each other. They did not share or take turns. They only wanted to show off their cars and trucks. They became angry and rude. They said mean things like, "Your car is ugly and slow and dumb. My truck is better than yours." "No, your truck is ugly and weak and noisy. My car is better than yours." + +They started to fight. They threw their cars and trucks at each other. They hit and kicked and scratched. They did not care about their cars and trucks anymore. They only wanted to hurt each other. + +Then, something bad happened. One of Lily's cars hit Tom's head. He fell down and cried. He had a big bump and a cut. He was bleeding and hurt. Lily was scared and sorry. She ran to him and said, "Tom, Tom, are you okay? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please don't be mad at me." + +But Tom was mad at her. He pushed her away and said, "Go away, Lily. You are not my friend anymore. You are mean and bad. I don't want to play with you ever again." + +Lily was sad and sorry. She picked up her cars and trucks and went home. She cried and cried. She wished she had not fought with Tom. She wished she had been nice and kind. She wished she had been a good friend. + +The moral of the story is: Don't fight over things that don't matter. Be nice and kind to your friends. Share and take turns. Listen and respect. Friendship is more important than cars and trucks. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a blue watch that their dad gave them. The watch could tell them the time and make funny sounds. They loved their watch very much. + +One day, they wanted to go to the park with their watch. They asked their mom if they could go. Their mom said, "Yes, you can go, but you have to be careful with your watch. Don't lose it or break it. And come back before it gets dark." + +Ben and Lily said, "OK, mom, we will be careful and come back soon." They put on their shoes and coats and ran to the park. They saw a big slide, a swing, a sandbox and a merry-go-round. They had a lot of fun playing with their watch and their friends. + +But then, a big boy came and saw their watch. He said, "Hey, that's a cool watch. Can I see it?" Ben and Lily said, "No, this is our watch. You can't have it." The big boy said, "Come on, let me see it. I won't hurt it. Please?" Ben and Lily said, "No, our mom said we have to be careful with our watch. She did not permit us to share it with anyone." + +The big boy got angry and tried to grab the watch from Ben's wrist. Ben and Lily screamed and pulled back. They ran away from the big boy and looked for a grown-up to help them. They saw a lady who worked at the park. They told her what happened and showed her their watch. The lady said, "Don't worry, I will talk to the big boy and his mom. You did the right thing to protect your watch. It's very special and you should take good care of it." + +Ben and Lily thanked the lady and hugged each other. They looked at their watch and saw that it was almost dark. They said, "We have to go home now. Our mom will be waiting for us." They ran back to their house and told their mom what happened. Their mom said, "I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but I'm proud of you for being brave and smart. You can keep your watch, but you have to share it with each other. OK?" Ben and Lily said, "OK, mom, we will share it. We love our watch and we love you." They gave their mom a big kiss and went to bed. They put their watch on the nightstand and listened to its funny sounds. They smiled and fell asleep. +Sam liked to play with his toy cars. He had a red car, a blue car, and a yellow car. He made them zoom and crash on the floor. He pretended they were racing and chasing each other. + +One day, he found a new car in his toy box. It was a white car with a red cross and a loud siren. It was an ambulance. Sam was curious. He pushed the button and the siren went on. He liked the noise. He made the ambulance drive around the room. + +But his mom did not like the noise. She was cooking in the kitchen. She was making a spicy soup for lunch. She told Sam to quit playing with the ambulance. She said it was too loud and annoying. She said he could play with his other cars. + +Sam did not listen. He thought the ambulance was fun. He kept playing with it. He made it go faster and louder. He did not care what his mom said. + +But then he smelled something. It was a bad smell. It was the spicy soup. It was burning on the stove. His mom forgot about it. She ran to the kitchen. She saw the smoke and the fire. She was scared. She grabbed Sam and ran outside. She called for help. + +Soon, a real ambulance came. It had a red cross and a loud siren. It also had a fire truck and a police car. They put out the fire and checked on Sam and his mom. They were okay. They were lucky. + +Sam felt sorry. He realized he was wrong. He should have listened to his mom. He should have quit playing with the toy ambulance. He hugged his mom and said he was sorry. He said he loved her. He said he would not play with the toy ambulance again. He gave it to the real ambulance driver. He said he could use it better. The driver smiled and thanked him. He said he was a brave and good boy. He gave him a sticker and a candy. Sam smiled too. He learned his lesson. He still liked his toy cars. But he liked his mom more. +One day, a boy named Tom and his mom went to the zoo. They saw many animals, like monkeys, elephants, and giraffes. Tom liked the animals, but he wanted to see the tiger. He asked his mom, "Mom, can we go see the tiger?" + +Mom said, "Yes, we can go see the tiger, but we have to be quiet and careful. The tiger is fragile. He is old and sick. He needs rest and love." + +Tom and his mom walked to the tiger's cage. They saw the tiger lying on a big rock. He had orange and black fur, and sharp teeth and claws. He looked sad and tired. Tom felt sorry for the tiger. He said, "Hello, tiger. I am Tom. You are beautiful and strong. I hope you feel better soon." + +The tiger heard Tom's voice. He lifted his head and looked at Tom. He saw Tom's kind eyes and smile. He felt a warm feeling in his heart. He gave a soft growl and licked his paw. He said, "Hello, Tom. I am Raj. Thank you for your words. You are brave and sweet. I appreciate your visit." + +Tom and his mom were surprised and happy. They did not know the tiger could talk. They stayed with the tiger for a while, and talked and listened. They learned more about the tiger's life and story. They gave him some water and meat. They made him feel comfortable and loved. The tiger felt happier and stronger. He thanked them for their care and friendship. He said, "You are the best guests I ever had. You made my day. Please come back again." + +Tom and his mom hugged the tiger and said goodbye. They promised to come back again. They walked away, feeling glad and grateful. They had a special bond with the tiger. They had a wonderful day at the zoo. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their kayak in the lake. They take turns to paddle and steer the kayak. Sometimes they race with other kids who have boats. + +One day, they see a big fish in the water. It is shiny and has a long tail. Tom wants to catch the fish. He grabs a net and leans over the kayak. Sam tells him to stop. + +"Tom, no! You will make us fall!" Sam says. + +But Tom does not listen. He tries to scoop the fish with the net. The fish is too fast and swims away. Tom loses his balance and falls into the lake. He splashes and screams. Sam tries to help him, but the kayak tips over too. They both get wet and cold. + +They swim to the shore and drag the kayak with them. They are angry and sad. The kayak is full of water and mud. It is smelly and heavy. They have to walk back to their house. They do not talk to each other. + +Mom sees them and asks what happened. They tell her about the fish and the kayak. She is not happy. She tells them to clean the kayak and dry their clothes. She also tells them to say sorry to each other. + +Tom and Sam realize they were silly and mean. They hug and apologize. They promise to share and listen to each other. They hope the fish will come back another day. They also hope the kayak will not remain smelly forever. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys and books. But they also like to see what their dad does in his lab. Their dad is a scientist. He makes new things with machines and tubes and colors. + +One day, Lily and Ben sneak into the lab when their dad is busy. They see a big red button on a machine. They wonder what it does. + +"Can we push it?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it makes a sound or a light," Ben says. + +They look around. Their dad is not watching. He is talking on the phone. + +"Let's try it. He won't mind," Lily says. + +She reaches for the button. But before she can touch it, their dad sees them. + +"Lily! Ben! Stop! Don't push that button!" he shouts. + +He runs to them and grabs their hands. He pulls them away from the machine. + +"That button is very dangerous. It can make a big boom and hurt you and me and the lab. You should never touch anything in the lab without asking me first. Do you understand?" he says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They feel scared and sorry. + +"We're sorry, dad. We were curious. We didn't know it was dangerous," Lily says. + +"We won't do it again, dad. We promise," Ben says. + +Their dad hugs them and kisses them. + +"I love you, Lily and Ben. I'm glad you're safe. But you have to mind me and the rules. The lab is not a place to play. It's a place to work and learn. Maybe when you're older, I can show you some things in the lab. But for now, you have to stay out of it. OK?" he says. + +Lily and Ben say OK. They hug their dad and say they love him too. Then they go back to their room and play with their toys and books. They don't sneak into the lab anymore. They wait for their dad to finish his work and then they have fun with him. They are happy and good twins. +Lily was a little girl who loved sheep. She had many sheep toys and books, and she liked to pretend she was a shepherd. She wanted to see real sheep someday, but she lived in the city and there were no sheep there. + +One day, her mom told her they were going to visit her grandma, who lived in the countryside. Lily was very excited and hoped she would see some sheep on the way. She packed her favorite sheep toy and her hat and got in the car. + +As they drove, Lily looked out the window and saw many things she had never seen before. She saw cows and horses and fields and trees. She asked her mom many questions, and her mom answered them patiently. But Lily did not see any sheep. + +"Mom, where are the sheep?" she asked. + +"Maybe we will see some soon, honey. Just keep looking," her mom said. + +Lily kept looking, but she started to feel sad. She wondered if there were any sheep at all, or if they were just in her books and toys. She hugged her sheep toy and wished it was real. + +Then, she saw something white and fluffy on a hill. She squinted her eyes and gasped. It was a sheep! And not just one, but many! They were grazing and bleating and jumping. Lily was so happy, she clapped her hands and shouted. + +"Mom, look! Sheep! Real sheep!" + +Her mom smiled and slowed down the car. She pulled over and parked near a fence. She got out and helped Lily out too. + +"Wow, you're right, Lily. There are sheep here. Do you want to go closer and say hello?" she asked. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily said. She ran to the fence and leaned over. She waved at the sheep and said, "Hi, sheep! I'm Lily. I love you!" + +Some of the sheep looked at her and baaed. One of them came closer and sniffed her hand. Lily giggled and stroked its wool. It felt soft and warm. + +"Mom, can I keep it?" she asked. + +Her mom laughed and shook her head. "No, sweetie. The sheep belong to the farmer. He takes care of them and shears them and sells their wool. He is very successful. He works hard and loves his sheep too." + +Lily nodded. She understood. She was happy to see the sheep, but she knew they had their own home and family. She thanked the sheep for being nice to her and said goodbye. She gave her sheep toy a big hug and said, "You're my sheep, and I'm your shepherd. I will always believe in you and love you." + +She got back in the car with her mom and they drove away. Lily looked at the sheep one last time and smiled. She had seen her dream come true. She was a very happy and lucky girl. +Sam and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to water the flowers and the grass. They had a big hose that made a lot of water come out. + +"Look, Lily, I can make a rainbow!" Sam said. He held the hose up high and moved it around. The sun made the water look like many colors. + +"That's pretty, Sam. Can I try?" Lily asked. She reached for the hose, but Sam did not let go. + +"No, it's my turn. You can have it later." Sam said. He did not want to share. + +Lily was sad. She wanted to make a rainbow too. She saw a bucket near the shed. She had an idea. She filled the bucket with water and sneaked behind Sam. + +"Hey, Sam, I have some news for you!" Lily shouted. She threw the water at Sam and soaked him. + +Sam was wet and cold. He was surprised and angry. He dropped the hose and turned to Lily. + +"Lily, why did you do that? That's not nice!" Sam said. He tried to grab the bucket, but Lily ran away. + +"I did it because you were not nice. You did not share the hose. That's the news." Lily said. She stuck out her tongue at Sam. + +Sam and Lily started to chase each other around the garden. They splashed water and laughed. They forgot to be mad. They had fun. + +Mom came out of the house. She saw Sam and Lily soaking wet. She smiled. She was happy to see them playing. + +"Sam, Lily, come inside. It's time for lunch." Mom said. She had a towel for each of them. + +"OK, Mom. We're coming." Sam and Lily said. They ran to Mom and hugged her. + +"Did you have a good time in the garden?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom. We watered the flowers and the grass. And we made a rainbow. And we soaked each other." Sam and Lily said. + +Mom laughed. She dried them off and took them inside. She was busy, but she loved her children. She made them sandwiches and juice. They ate and told her their story. Mom listened and smiled. She was proud of them. They were good children. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they had a big event at their preschool. They had to show their toys to their friends and teachers. Sara and Ben were very excited and wanted to bring their best toys. + +Sara chose her doll that could talk and sing. Ben chose his truck that could lift things and make noises. They put their toys in their backpacks and got ready to go. Their mom helped them put on their coats and shoes. + +"Be good and have fun, my loves," their mom said. "And don't forget to share your toys with others." + +"We will, mom," Sara and Ben said. They were obedient children who listened to their mom. + +At preschool, they met their friends and teachers. They took out their toys and showed them to everyone. Sara's doll was very pretty and smart. Ben's truck was very strong and cool. Their friends liked their toys and wanted to play with them. + +"Can I play with your doll, Sara?" asked Lily, a girl with curly hair. + +"Sure, Lily. You can play with her. She can talk and sing. Do you want to hear her?" Sara said. + +"Yes, please. She is so nice," Lily said. + +"Can I play with your truck, Ben?" asked Max, a boy with glasses. + +"Sure, Max. You can play with it. It can lift things and make noises. Do you want to see it?" Ben said. + +"Yes, please. It is so awesome," Max said. + +Sara and Ben shared their toys with their friends. They had a lot of fun at the event. They were happy and proud of their toys. They were also kind and generous children who made their mom happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were soldiers and spies. They had a purple hat and a purple scarf to wear as their uniforms. + +"Look, Lily, there is a sign on that tree," Tom said. He pointed to a piece of paper with some words and a picture on it. "What does it say?" + +Lily ran to the tree and looked at the sign. She could read some of the words. "It says, 'Lost dog. Brown and white. Answers to Spot. Call this number if you find him.' And there is a picture of the dog." + +Tom and Lily felt sad for the lost dog. They wanted to help find him. They decided to look around the park for any clues. + +They searched behind the bushes, under the benches, and in the trash cans. They did not see the dog anywhere. They were about to give up when they heard a bark. + +They followed the sound and saw a brown and white dog hiding under a slide. It was Spot! He looked scared and hungry. + +"Hello, Spot, we are here to help you," Lily said softly. She took off her purple scarf and wrapped it around the dog. "Don't worry, we will call your owner and take you home." + +Tom used his mom's phone to call the number on the sign. He told the person on the other end that they had found Spot. The person was very happy and said they would come to the park right away. + +Tom and Lily waited with Spot until his owner arrived. It was a lady in a green dress. She hugged and thanked Tom and Lily for finding her dog. She gave them a reward of five dollars each. + +Tom and Lily felt proud and happy. They had done a good job as soldiers and spies. They decided to use their money to buy some ice cream and share it with Spot. They all enjoyed the treat and became friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. They always said sorry to the people who had to move out of the way. + +One day, a rude cop came to the park. He saw the ball rolling towards him and he kicked it very hard. The ball flew over the fence and landed in the street. Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They ran to the fence and shouted at the cop. + +"Hey, that's our ball! Why did you do that? You are very rude!" + +The cop did not care. He laughed and said, "It's just a ball. You can get another one. Go away, you little brats!" + +Lily and Ben did not go away. They wanted their ball back. They saw a big hole in the fence and they crawled through it. They looked for their ball in the street. They did not see the cars and the bikes and the buses. They only saw their ball. + +The cop saw them and he got scared. He knew he had done a bad thing. He ran after them and shouted, "Stop! Come back! It's dangerous!" + +But Lily and Ben did not hear him. They reached their ball and they picked it up. They were happy and they hugged each other. They turned around and they saw the cop. He was very close to them. He looked angry and mean. + +Lily and Ben were afraid. They did not know what to do. They dropped their ball and they knelt on the ground. They closed their eyes and they said, "Please don't hurt us. We just wanted our ball." + +The cop stopped and he felt sorry. He realized he had been very rude and very wrong. He knelt down and he said, "I'm sorry. I was very rude and very wrong. I should not have kicked your ball. I should not have chased you. I should have helped you. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily and Ben opened their eyes and they looked at the cop. They saw that he was not angry and mean anymore. He was sad and sorry. They nodded and they said, "We forgive you. But please don't do it again. And please be nice to other people." + +The cop smiled and he said, "Thank you. I will try to do better. And I will be nice to other people. Can I help you get back to the park?" + +Lily and Ben smiled and they said, "Yes, please. And can we have our ball back?" + +The cop nodded and he said, "Of course. Here is your ball. And here is my hand. Let's go back to the park together." + +Lily and Ben took the cop's hand and they walked back to the park. They thanked the cop and they said goodbye. They played with their ball and they had fun. They learned that sometimes people can be rude, but they can also be sorry and change. And they learned that sometimes people can be nice, but they can also make mistakes and need forgiveness. And they learned that the best thing to do is to be kind and brave and honest. And to share their ball. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big fountain with water. The water is shiny and pretty. They want to touch the water. + +They run to the fountain and put their hands in the water. It is cold and wet. They splash and laugh. They see a shiny ring in the water. It is gold and has a sparkly stone. Lily picks up the ring and puts it on her finger. It is very big for her. + +"Look, Ben, I have a ring!" Lily says. "It is expensive and beautiful. Do you like it?" + +Ben nods. He thinks the ring is nice. He has an idea. He says, "Lily, do you want to marry me? We can be husband and wife. We can share the ring and the water." + +Lily smiles. She likes Ben. She says, "Yes, Ben, I want to marry you. We can be happy and play together. We can have the ring and the water." + +They hug and kiss. They are happy. They are married. They do not know that the ring and the water belong to someone else. They do not know that someone is looking for them. They do not know that they are in trouble. +Sam and Lily are young. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun. + +But they are also hungry. They want to eat something. They see a man with a big cart. He has hot dogs and popcorn and juice. He sells them to people who are hungry. + +"Can we have some, please?" Sam asks his mom. His mom nods and gives him some money. Sam and Lily run to the man with the cart. They watch him make hot dogs and popcorn. They smell good. + +"Here you go, kids," the man says. He gives them a hot dog and a popcorn each. He also gives them a juice. "Enjoy your snack." + +"Thank you, sir," Sam and Lily say. They take their food and sit on a bench. They eat and drink and watch the birds and the clouds. They are happy. They are not hungry anymore. +Lily and Sam liked to go to the market with Mom. They saw many things there: fruits, flowers, toys, books. They also saw many people there: old, young, big, small. Some people were nice and some people were nosy. + +One day, a nosy lady came to talk to Mom. She asked many questions: where did Mom live, what did Mom do, how old were Lily and Sam. Mom did not like the nosy lady. She tried to be polite, but she wanted to go away. + +Lily and Sam did not like the nosy lady either. They thought she was rude and boring. They wanted to have fun at the market. They had an idea. They whispered to each other and smiled. + +When the nosy lady was not looking, Lily and Sam ran away. They hid behind a big pile of pumpkins. They giggled and waited for Mom to find them. + +Mom saw that Lily and Sam were gone. She was worried and angry. She said goodbye to the nosy lady and looked for them. She called their names and searched everywhere. + +Lily and Sam heard Mom's voice. They felt sorry for making Mom worry. They whispered to each other and decided to come out. They jumped out of the pumpkins and ran to Mom. They hugged her and said sorry. + +Mom was happy to see them. She was also relieved and proud. She said sorry for talking to the nosy lady for so long. She said she loved them and they were very smart. She said they could have a treat at the market. + +Lily and Sam smiled and said they loved Mom too. They said they did not like the nosy lady and they wanted to have fun. They said they were sorry for hiding and they would not do it again. + +Mom kissed them and said it was okay. She said they could choose a treat at the market. They walked together and looked at the fruits, the flowers, the toys, the books. They had fun at the market. +Mia and Ben are friends. They go to the same school. They like to play and learn together. Today, they have lunch in the cafeteria. Mia has a sandwich and a banana. Ben has a pizza and an apple. + +"Can I have some of your pizza?" Mia asks Ben. + +"Sure, you can have a slice. Can I have some of your sandwich?" Ben says. + +"Okay, we can trade. I like pizza too," Mia says. + +They swap their food and start to eat. But then, Mia feels something in her mouth. It is hard and shiny. She spits it out on her napkin. It is a ring. + +"Ben, what is this?" Mia says, holding the ring. + +Ben looks at the ring and turns red. He feels embarrassed. + +"Oh, no. That is my mom's ring. I was playing with it this morning and I forgot to take it off. I must have dropped it in the pizza box. I'm sorry, Mia," Ben says. + +Mia is surprised. She does not know what to say. + +"Are you mad at me?" Ben asks. + +Mia shakes her head. She is not mad. She is a good friend. + +"No, I'm not mad. It was an accident. But you should keep your mom's ring safe. She might be worried if she can't find it," Mia says. + +Ben nods. He is glad that Mia is not mad. He is a good friend too. + +"Thank you, Mia. You are right. I will keep it safe. I will give it back to my mom when I go home. And I will share my apple with you," Ben says. + +Mia smiles. She likes apples. She likes Ben too. They finish their lunch and go to play. They are happy. They are friends. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play together. But sometimes they fight. They fight about toys, about games, about rules. + +One day, they fight about a ball. Sara says it is her ball. Ben says it is his ball. They pull and push and shout. They are not happy. + +Mom sees them. She is not happy either. She says, "Stop fighting! You need to share. Sharing is good. Sharing is a law. A law is something you must do. It is not difficult. It is easy. I will teach you how to share." + +Mom takes the ball. She gives half of the ball to Sara and half of the ball to Ben. She says, "Now you both have the ball. You can play together. You can take turns. You can be kind. You can be friends." + +Sara and Ben look at the ball. They look at Mom. They look at each other. They are confused. They do not like the ball like this. They do not want to play with half a ball. They want to play with a whole ball. + +They say, "Sorry, Mom. We do not want to share like this. We want to share another way. Can we have the ball back?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "Yes, you can have the ball back. But you have to promise to share nicely. Can you do that?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We can do that. We can share nicely. We can play together. We can be friends." + +Mom gives them the ball back. She says, "Good. I am proud of you. You learned a lesson. You learned how to share. You learned a law. A law is something you must do. It is not difficult. It is easy. You can teach others too." + +Sara and Ben hug Mom. They say, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. You taught us a lot. You taught us a law. A law is something we must do. It is not difficult. It is easy. We will teach others too." + +They run to play with the ball. They share nicely. They play together. They are happy. Mom is happy too. She watches them. She smiles. +Lily was sick. She had a fever and a cough. She did not want to eat or play. Her mom took her to the doctor. The doctor was nice. He looked at Lily's ears, nose and throat. He said she had a cold and gave her some medicine. + +The doctor also gave Lily a sticker. It was a pink flower. Lily liked it. She said, "Thank you, doctor." The doctor smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You will feel better soon." + +Lily and her mom went to the nurse. The nurse was kind. She gave Lily a cup of water and a spoon. She said, "Lily, you need to take this medicine. It will help you with your fever and cough." Lily nodded. She opened her mouth and took the medicine. It was bitter. She made a face and said, "Yuck!" + +The nurse laughed and said, "I know, it doesn't taste good. But it will make you well. Here, have some water." She gave Lily the cup of water. Lily drank it. It was cold and sweet. She said, "Ah, that's better." + +Lily held the cup in her hand. She also held the sticker in her other hand. She wanted to show it to her mom. She turned around and said, "Mom, look at my sticker. It's a flower." But as she turned, she dropped the cup. It fell on the floor and broke. The water spilled everywhere. Lily was scared. She said, "Oh no, I'm sorry, nurse. I didn't mean to drop it." + +The nurse was not angry. She said, "It's okay, Lily. It was an accident. Don't worry. I have another cup for you. And I have a towel to clean the mess." She gave Lily a new cup of water and a towel. She helped Lily wipe the floor. She said, "There, it's all clean. You are a good helper, Lily." + +Lily felt better. She said, "Thank you, nurse. You are very nice." The nurse hugged Lily and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are very brave. And you have a beautiful sticker. You can keep it." Lily smiled and said, "Thank you. I like it. It's small and pretty. Like me." The nurse and her mom agreed. They said, "Yes, you are, Lily. You are small and pretty. And we love you." Lily felt happy. She said, "I love you too." +One day, a little girl named Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw many people and animals there. She liked to gaze at the birds and the flowers. She also liked to play on the swings and the slide. + +But then she saw a big dog. The dog was black and brown and had sharp teeth. It looked fierce and angry. It started to march towards Lily, barking loudly. Lily was scared and ran to her mom. + +"Mom, mom, help me! There is a fierce dog!" she cried. + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. The dog is not fierce. He is just playing. He wants to be your friend. Look, he is wagging his tail. That means he is happy." + +Lily looked at the dog again. She saw that he was not angry, but friendly. He licked her hand and wagged his tail. He was not fierce, but gentle. + +Lily smiled and said, "I'm sorry, dog. I was wrong. You are not fierce. You are nice. Can I pet you?" + +The dog nodded and let Lily pet him. They became friends and played together. Lily learned that she should not judge by appearances, but by actions. She also learned that she should be brave and kind. +Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the garden. They have a lot of toys: cars, dolls, balls, blocks and more. They are having fun and sharing nicely. + +But then, a thief comes. He is a big, mean cat. He sees the toys and wants them for himself. He sneaks into the garden and grabs a car with his mouth. He runs away fast. + +"Hey, that's my car!" Tom shouts. He sees the thief and chases him. Lily follows him. They want their car back. + +The thief is faster than them. He jumps over the fence and hides behind a bush. He thinks he is safe. He plays with the car and makes noises. + +But Tom and Lily are smart. They solve the problem. They find a cute dog. The dog is friendly and likes to play. They show him the car and tell him what happened. + +"Can you help us, please?" Lily asks the dog. The dog barks and nods. He smells the car and the thief. He runs after the thief and finds him behind the bush. + +The thief is scared. He sees the dog and drops the car. He runs away again. He does not want to play with the dog. + +The dog brings the car back to Tom and Lily. They are happy and grateful. They hug the dog and thank him. + +"You are a good dog. You are our hero!" Tom says. + +The dog wags his tail and smiles. He likes Tom and Lily. They invite him to play with them and their toys. They have more fun and share nicely. They are all friends. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big turtle on the grass. The turtle is slow and has a hard shell. + +"Look, a turtle!" Lily says. "Can we touch it?" + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it will bite." + +They go closer to the turtle. Lily reaches out her hand. She pokes the turtle's shell. The turtle does not move. + +"It is not scary," Lily says. "It is nice." + +Tom pokes the turtle too. The turtle still does not move. + +"Maybe it is sleeping," Tom says. + +They sit next to the turtle. They talk to it. They tell it their names and what they like to do. They hope the turtle will wake up and be their friend. + +After a while, the turtle opens its eyes. It sees Lily and Tom. It sticks out its head and legs. It makes a sound. + +"Hello, turtle," Lily says. "We are Lily and Tom. We want to play with you." + +The turtle nods. It makes another sound. It seems to say welcome. + +Lily and Tom smile. They are happy. They have a new friend. They play with the turtle. They are careful not to poke it too hard. They have fun in the park. +Lily liked to play with her red ball in the yard. She liked to kick it and catch it and roll it. One day, she saw a big fire in the sky. It was the sun. She wanted to play with the sun too. She threw her ball very high, but it did not reach the sun. It went over the fence and into the neighbor's yard. + +Lily ran to the fence and looked for her ball. She saw it on the grass, near a big pile of leaves. The leaves were dry and brown. The sun was very hot and made the leaves burn. Lily saw smoke and flames. She was scared. She wanted her ball back, but she did not want to go near the fire. + +She ran to her house and told her mom. Her mom called the firemen. They came with a big truck and a loud siren. They sprayed water on the fire and put it out. They gave Lily her ball back. She was happy, but she was also sorry. She did not mean to make the fire. + +The neighbor came out of his house. He was angry. He saw the fire and the water and the mess. He saw Lily and her mom and the firemen. He said, "Who did this? Who started the fire?" + +Lily was afraid. She hid behind her mom. She said, "I did. I threw my ball. I wanted to play with the sun. I'm sorry. I'm very sorry." + +The neighbor looked at Lily. He saw her big eyes and her red ball. He saw that she was a little girl who made a mistake. He was not angry anymore. He said, "It's okay. I'm glad you're safe. But don't play with fire again. Fire is dangerous. Fire can hurt you and others." + +Lily nodded. She said, "I won't. I promise. I'm sorry, neighbor." + +The neighbor smiled. He said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. Do you want to play with me? I have a yellow ball. We can play together." + +Lily smiled too. She said, "Yes, please. I like yellow. I like you, neighbor." + +They went to the yard and played with the yellow ball. They had fun. They were friends. The sun watched them and smiled too. +Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They have a big pot full of seeds. They want to scatter the seeds on the ground and make flowers grow. But there is a problem. A big black cat lives next door. The cat likes to chase birds and mice. Sometimes, the cat comes into the garden and scares Sara and Ben. + +One day, Sara and Ben are scattering the seeds when they hear a loud meow. They look up and see the cat on the fence. The cat jumps down and runs towards them. Sara and Ben are afraid. They drop the pot and run to the house. The pot breaks and the seeds spill everywhere. The cat stops and sniffs the seeds. He does not like them. He spits them out and walks away. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They lost their pot and their seeds. They want to make flowers grow, but they have no more seeds. They do not know what to do. Then, they see something. A little bird flies down and picks up a seed. The bird flies to a tree and drops the seed in a hole. Then, the bird comes back and picks up another seed. The bird does this many times. Sara and Ben watch the bird. They think the bird is brave. The bird is not afraid of the cat. The bird is making a nest with the seeds. + +Sara and Ben smile. They have an idea. They go to the house and get some bread. They break the bread into small pieces. They scatter the bread on the ground. They hope the bird will like the bread. They hide behind a bush and wait. Soon, the bird sees the bread. The bird flies down and eats the bread. The bird is happy. The bird sings a song. Sara and Ben are happy too. They sing along with the bird. They make a new friend. They forget about the cat and the pot. They think about the flowers that will grow from the seeds. They think they are brave too. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big puddle near the slide. Lily wanted to splash in the puddle, but Ben said no. + +"That is foolish," Ben said. "You will get wet and dirty. And you will miss the pizza that mom will bring for lunch." + +But Lily did not listen. She ran to the puddle and jumped in. She splashed and laughed and made a big mess. Ben watched and shook his head. + +Soon, mom came with the pizza. She saw Lily and was not happy. + +"Lily, what have you done?" mom asked. "You are soaked and muddy. You cannot eat pizza like that. You have to go home and change." + +Lily felt sad. She had to leave the park and the pizza. She looked at Ben, who was eating a slice of cheese pizza. He looked happy and clean. + +"I am sorry, mom," Lily said. "I was foolish. I should have listened to Ben. He was right." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. You made a mistake, but you can learn from it. Next time, think before you splash. And always listen to your friends who care for you." + +Lily nodded and said, "I will, mom. Thank you." + +The end. +One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide that looked like fun. Lily wanted to go first, but Ben said he was older and faster. He ran to the slide and climbed up the steps. Lily followed him, but she was slower. + +Ben reached the top of the slide and sat down. He smiled and said, "Watch me, Lily. I'm going to slide so fast and far." He pushed himself and slid down the slide. He went very fast, but he did not see a puddle at the end of the slide. He landed in the water and got wet and muddy. He cried and said, "Ouch, that hurt. Mom, help me!" + +Lily saw what happened and felt sorry for Ben. She said, "Are you okay, Ben? I'm sorry you got wet and muddy." She reached the top of the slide and looked down. She saw the puddle and thought, "I don't want to slide into the water. That's not fun." She had an idea. She looked around and saw a cute teddy bear on a bench. She said, "Look, Ben. There's a teddy bear. Maybe he wants to slide with me." She grabbed the teddy bear and hugged him. She said, "Hello, teddy. Do you want to slide with me? I'll hold you tight and we'll have fun." + +She sat down on the slide and put the teddy bear on her lap. She said, "Ready, teddy? Let's go!" She slid down the slide, but she lifted her legs and the teddy bear when she saw the puddle. She flew over the water and landed on the grass. She laughed and said, "We did it, teddy. We slid over the puddle. That was fun." + +Mom came over and helped Ben get up. She said, "Are you okay, Ben? You should be more careful. You don't want to get hurt or dirty." She saw Lily and the teddy bear on the grass. She said, "Good job, Lily. You were very smart and brave. You used your wisdom and avoided the puddle. And you found a cute friend to slide with. That was very nice of you." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I like sliding with teddy. He's very soft and cuddly. Can I keep him, please?" Mom looked at the bench and saw a sign that said, "Free teddy bears. Take one and enjoy." She said, "Sure, Lily. You can keep him. He's yours now." Lily hugged the teddy bear and said, "Yay, thank you, mom. I love you and teddy." Ben came over and said, "Can I have a teddy bear too, mom?" Mom said, "Of course, Ben. There are more teddy bears on the bench. You can choose one and slide with him too. But be careful of the puddle, okay?" Ben said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry I was mean to Lily. She's very smart and kind. Can I slide with you and teddy, Lily?" Lily said, "Sure, Ben. You're my brother and I love you. Come on, let's slide together." They all went to the bench and picked a teddy bear. They slid down the slide, over the puddle, and had fun. Mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of her children and happy to see them play. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pink dress, and a smile. Lily liked to pretend that Anna was her baby sister. She would feed her, dress her, and sing to her. + +One day, Lily's mom told her that she had a surprise for her. She said that soon, Lily would have a real baby sister. Lily was very happy. She thought that her baby sister would be just like Anna. She asked her mom, "Can I name her Anna?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "You can help me choose a name, but we have to wait and see what she looks like first." + +Lily was very excited. She wanted to meet her baby sister. She decided to get ready. She organized her dolls in a row. She said, "You have to be good and quiet. We are going to have a new friend. She will be very small and need a lot of love." + +She took Anna and put her in a crib. She said, "You are the oldest. You have to help me take care of her. You are a big sister now." + +Lily waited and waited. She wondered when her baby sister would come. She hoped that she would have long hair, a pink dress, and a smile. + +One day, her dad came home with a big smile. He said, "Lily, come with me. I have something to show you." + +He took her to the car and drove to the hospital. He said, "Your mom and your baby sister are waiting for you. Are you ready to meet them?" + +Lily nodded. She was very ready. She held Anna in her arms. She said, "Anna, we are going to see our baby sister. I hope you like her." + +They went inside the hospital and followed the signs to the nursery. Lily saw many infants in little beds. They were sleeping, crying, or looking around. She looked for her baby sister. She saw her dad stop at one of the beds. He said, "Lily, this is your baby sister. Her name is Mia." + +Lily looked at Mia. She was very small and had a lot of hair. She had a pink blanket, but no dress. She had a frown, not a smile. She looked nothing like Anna. + +Lily felt confused. She said, "She is not Anna. She is not like Anna." + +Her dad said, "No, she is not Anna. She is Mia. She is different, but she is still your sister. And she needs you to love her and help her grow." + +Lily looked at Anna. She looked at Mia. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. She said, "Okay. I will love her and help her. I am a big sister now." + +She gave Anna to her dad and reached for Mia. She held her gently and said, "Hello, Mia. I am Lily. I am your big sister. You are very small, but you will become big like me. And you will smile like Anna. I will show you how." +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play at the park. They liked to swing, run and slide. One day, they saw a big slide that was new. It was very high and shiny. They wanted to try it. + +"Let's go on the big slide!" Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful!" Sam said. + +They ran to the big slide and waited for their turn. Lily went first. She climbed up the ladder and sat on the top. She was a little scared, but also excited. She sang a song to make herself brave. + +"I'm a little star, I can shine so bright, I can slide down the slide, I can do it right!" + +She pushed herself and slid down the slide. She went very fast and felt the wind in her hair. She laughed and shouted. + +"Yay, that was fun!" + +She reached the bottom and looked for Sam. But Sam was not there. She saw a big dog instead. The dog was hungry and angry. It saw Lily and barked. It ran to her and bit her leg. Lily screamed and cried. She was hurt and scared. + +"Help, help!" she called. + +Sam heard her and ran to her. He saw the dog and threw a stick at it. The dog let go of Lily and chased the stick. Sam grabbed Lily and hugged her. + +"Are you OK?" he asked. + +"No, it hurts!" Lily said. + +They saw a lady who worked at the park. She heard the noise and came to help. She saw Lily's leg and called for help. She said they had to go to the hospital. She took them to her car and drove away. + +The big slide was left alone. It was not fun anymore. It was sad and sorry. It wished it could sing a song to make Lily feel better. But it could not. It was just a slide. +Lily and Anna were best friends. They liked to play dress-up with their dolls and pretend they were grown-ups. One day, Lily found a shiny purse in her mom's closet. It was red and had a gold zipper and a long strap. Lily thought it was very pretty and wanted to show it to Anna. + +"Look what I found!" Lily said, holding the purse. "It's my mom's, but she never uses it. Can I borrow it for our game?" + +Anna looked at the purse and felt envious. She wished she had a purse like that. She had a small pink purse, but it was old and had a tear on the side. She wanted to say no, but she did not want to be mean to Lily. + +"Okay, you can borrow it," Anna said. "But only for a little while. And be careful with it." + +Lily thanked Anna and put the purse on her shoulder. She felt very happy and proud. She and Anna went to the living room, where they had set up a tea party for their dolls. They put on hats and scarves and pretended they were going to a fancy place. + +"Hello, Miss Lily," Anna said, in a high voice. "You look very nice today. I like your purse. Where did you get it?" + +"Thank you, Miss Anna," Lily said, in a high voice too. "I got it from my mom. She said I can use it for our game. She is very nice and permits me to do many things." + +Anna nodded, but she felt sad and angry. She did not think Lily's mom was very nice. She thought she was unfair and spoiled Lily. She wanted to have a purse like Lily's, or at least to use it for a longer time. She decided to make a plan. + +When Lily was not looking, Anna grabbed the purse and ran to her room. She locked the door and hid the purse under her bed. She thought Lily would not find it there. She felt happy and sneaky. + +Lily did not notice at first that her purse was gone. She was busy pouring tea for her doll. But when she looked up, she saw that Anna was not there. She wondered where she went. She looked around and saw that her purse was not there either. She felt scared and confused. + +"Anna!" Lily called. "Where are you? Where is my purse?" + +She heard Anna's voice from her room. "I have your purse!" Anna said. "And I'm not giving it back! It's mine now!" + +Lily felt shocked and hurt. She could not believe that Anna would do that. She thought Anna was her best friend. She did not understand why Anna would be so mean and greedy. She felt angry and sad. + +"Anna, that's not nice!" Lily said. "That's not your purse, that's my mom's purse! You have to give it back! Or I will tell on you!" + +Anna did not listen. She hugged the purse and smiled. She thought she had won. She did not care about Lily or her mom. She only cared about the purse. + +But then, she heard a knock on the door. It was Lily's mom. She had heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily crying and Anna hiding. She knew something was wrong. + +"Anna, open the door," Lily's mom said. "What are you doing in there? Why are you making Lily cry?" + +Anna felt scared and guilty. She knew she had done a bad thing. She knew Lily's mom would be angry and punish her. She wished she had not taken the purse. She wished she had been a good friend to Lily. + +She opened the door and gave the purse back to Lily's mom. She said she was sorry and asked for forgiveness. Lily's mom was stern but kind. She said she was disappointed in Anna and that she had to learn to share and be honest. She said she would talk to Anna's mom and that Anna had to go home. + +Lily's mom hugged Lily and gave her the purse. She said she was proud of Lily and that she could keep the purse as a gift. She said she loved Lily and that she could always trust her. Lily felt happy and grateful. She thanked her mom and hugged her back. + +She looked at Anna and felt sorry for her. She knew Anna was not a bad person, but that she had made a mistake. She hoped Anna would learn from it and be a better friend. She decided to forgive Anna and give her another chance. + +She smiled at Anna and said, "I'm sorry you were envious of my purse. But you don't have to be. You have many nice things too. And you have me as your friend. I still like you and want to play with you. Do you want to come +Lily was a small girl who liked flowers. She had a bowl of seeds that she wanted to plant in the garden. She asked her mom if she could help her. + +"Mom, can I plant these seeds?" Lily said, holding up the bowl. + +"Sure, Lily. Let's go outside and find a good spot," Mom said, taking her hand. + +They went to the garden and Mom showed Lily how to dig a hole, put a seed in, and cover it with dirt. They did this for all the seeds in the bowl. + +"Now we have to water them and wait for them to grow," Mom said, giving Lily a watering can. + +Lily watered the seeds carefully, making sure not to spill too much. She was excited to see what kind of flowers they would be. + +"Mom, how long do we have to wait?" Lily asked. + +"Well, it depends on the seeds. Some flowers grow faster than others. But we have to be patient and let them do their thing," Mom said. + +Lily nodded, but she wished she could see the flowers right away. She decided to check on them every day. + +After a few days, she saw some green sprouts poking out of the dirt. She was happy and ran to tell Mom. + +"Mom, look! The seeds are growing!" Lily said. + +"That's wonderful, Lily! They are sprouts. They will grow bigger and bigger until they bloom," Mom said. + +"Bloom? What does that mean?" Lily asked. + +"It means they will open up and show their colors and shapes. They will be beautiful," Mom said. + +Lily smiled and imagined how the flowers would look. She hoped they would be pink and purple and yellow and white. She hoped they would smell nice and make the garden pretty. + +She waited and waited, and every day she watered the sprouts and watched them grow. And one day, she saw something amazing. + +"Mom, come quick! The flowers are blooming!" Lily shouted. + +Mom came to the garden and saw the flowers. They were blooming indeed. They were big and bright and colorful. They were roses and sunflowers and daisies and tulips. They smelled sweet and fresh and lovely. + +Lily was overjoyed. She clapped her hands and hugged Mom. + +"Mom, they are so pretty! I love them!" Lily said. + +"I love them too, Lily. And I love you. You did a great job planting and caring for them," Mom said. + +They admired the flowers and picked some to put in a vase. They brought them inside and put them on the table. They made the house cheerful and cozy. + +Lily was proud of her flowers. She had planted them from a small bowl of seeds, and now they were blooming. She learned a new word and a new skill. She felt happy and grateful. She thanked Mom for helping her and giving her the seeds. + +"Mom, can we plant more seeds next time?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, Lily. We can plant as many seeds as you want. And we can watch them bloom together," Mom said. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a big bottle of sauce on a bench. They were curious and hungry, so they decided to taste it. + +"Wow, this sauce is yummy!" Lily said, licking her fingers. "It is sweet and red and sticky." + +"Let me try some!" Ben said, grabbing the bottle. He poured some sauce on his hand and licked it. "Mmm, you are right. This sauce is yummy!" + +They both enjoyed the sauce, but they did not notice that a man was watching them from a distant place. He was the owner of the sauce, and he was angry that they took it without asking. He walked towards them, frowning and shouting. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my sauce? That is mine! I was going to use it for my lunch. Give it back to me, now!" + +Lily and Ben were scared and sorry. They did not know that the sauce belonged to someone else. They thought it was a gift or a mistake. They quickly gave the bottle back to the man and apologized. + +"We are sorry, sir. We did not know that this was your sauce. We were hungry and curious, and we thought it was good to eat. Please forgive us." + +The man looked at them and sighed. He saw that they were sincere and innocent, and he felt sorry for them too. He decided to be kind and generous. + +"It is okay, kids. I forgive you. But you should not take things that are not yours. You should always ask first, or look for a sign. That is the polite and respectful thing to do. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and thanked the man. They learned their lesson and promised to be more careful next time. The man smiled and gave them each a slice of bread with some sauce on it. He said they could share it as a snack. They were happy and grateful, and they enjoyed the bread and the sauce. They also made a new friend. + +The end. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big basket of muffins on a bench. They were hungry and wanted to eat some. But the basket had a sign that said "For the birds. Please do not touch." + +Ben did not care about the sign. He said, "I want a muffin. They look yummy." He ran to the basket and grabbed a muffin. Lily followed him and said, "Ben, stop! That is not nice. The muffins are for the birds. They need food too." + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He bit the muffin and said, "Mmm, this is good. I want another one." He reached for another muffin. But then, he heard a loud squawk. A big crow flew down from a tree and pecked his hand. Ben dropped the muffin and cried, "Ow, ow, ow! That bird hurt me!" + +Lily ran to Ben and hugged him. She said, "Ben, are you okay? I told you not to take the muffins. The crow was trying to protect them. He was angry that you took his food." + +Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was greedy and rude. I should have listened to you. I should have respected the birds and their food. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Of course, I forgive you, Ben. You are my brother and I love you. But next time, please be kind and share. There is enough food for everyone." + +Ben nodded and said, "You are right, Lily. You are my sister and I love you too. Next time, I will be kind and share. And I will not touch the muffins again. They are cold and hard anyway." + +They hugged and went back to their mom, who was waiting for them. She gave them a warm and soft cookie each. They thanked her and ate the cookie. They learned their lesson and never bothered the birds or their muffins again. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is a big square. It is red and yellow and blue. It has four sides and four corners. + +"What is that?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Let's go and see," Ben says. + +They run to the big square. They touch it. It is hard and smooth. They climb on it. It is fun. They see a hole in the square. They look inside. They see something shiny. + +"What is that?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know. Let's go and see," Lily says. + +They crawl inside the hole. They find a box. It is shiny and has a ribbon. They open the box. They see many small squares. They are brown and have letters on them. + +"What are these?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Let's try them," Ben says. + +They take one small square each. They bite them. They are tasty. They are sweet and melt in their mouths. + +"Mmm, these are good," Ben says. + +"They are chocolate," Lily says. She knows the word from her mom. + +They hear a voice from outside the hole. + +"Hello, children. Do you like my gift?" the voice says. + +They look outside. They see a man. He is smiling. He has a hat and a beard. He is holding a bag. + +"Who are you?" Lily asks. + +"I am Santa. I came to meet you and give you some chocolate. You have been good children this year," the man says. + +"Wow, you are Santa. Thank you for the chocolate. It is very tasty," Ben says. + +"You are welcome. Merry Christmas, Lily and Ben. I have to go now. I have more gifts to deliver. Be good and have fun," the man says. + +He waves and walks away. Lily and Ben wave back. They are happy. They have met Santa and got some chocolate. They share the chocolate with their friends. They play with the big square. They have a wonderful day. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toy boat. They had a big tub of water in the garden where they could sail their boat and pretend to be pirates. One day, they found a peach on the kitchen table and decided to take it with them. + +"Look, Tom, we have a treasure!" Lily said, holding the peach. "It is round and soft and sweet. Let's sail to a secret island and hide it there." + +"Okay, Lily, but we have to be careful. There might be other pirates who want our treasure," Tom said, putting the peach in the boat. "We need a map and a compass and a flag." + +They drew a map on a piece of paper, made a compass out of a magnet and a needle, and tied a scarf to a stick for a flag. Then they put everything in the boat and sailed away. + +They followed their map and compass until they reached a spot in the tub where they had hidden a big rock. They decided that was their island. They got out of the boat and dug a hole in the dirt. They put the peach in the hole and covered it with leaves. + +"We did it, Tom! We buried our treasure!" Lily said, clapping her hands. + +"Shh, Lily, don't be so loud. Someone might hear us," Tom said, looking around. + +They were about to sail back when they heard a voice. + +"Hello, children. What are you doing here?" It was their grandma, who had come to visit. She saw their boat and their flag and their map and their compass. + +"We are pirates, grandma. We sailed to a secret island and hid our treasure," Lily said, proudly. + +"Really? And what is your treasure?" grandma asked, curiously. + +"It is a peach, grandma. A round and soft and sweet peach," Tom said, smiling. + +"A peach? That is a very nice treasure, indeed. But do you know what is even nicer?" grandma asked, gently. + +"What, grandma?" Lily and Tom asked, eagerly. + +"Sharing your treasure with someone you love. That is what wise pirates do," grandma said, wisely. + +Lily and Tom looked at each other and nodded. They dug up their peach and gave it to grandma. Grandma cut it in three pieces and gave one to each of them. + +They ate their peach together and it was the best peach they ever had. They hugged grandma and thanked her for teaching them a lesson. + +They sailed back to their home and cleaned up their boat and their things. They decided they would always be wise pirates and share their treasures with their family and friends. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily wanted to feed the ducks. She had some bread in her bag. + +"Look, Ben, ducks!" Lily said. "Let's give them some bread." + +Ben nodded. He liked ducks too. He followed Lily to the pond. They tore some bread and threw it to the ducks. The ducks came closer and quacked. They ate the bread and splashed in the water. + +Lily saw a stick on the ground. It was long and brown. She picked it up and waved it. + +"Look, Ben, a stick!" Lily said. "I can pretend it's a sword. En garde!" + +Ben laughed. He saw another stick and picked it up. He waved it too. + +"Ha, ha, I have a stick too!" Ben said. "Let's have a sword fight." + +They ran and swung their sticks. They made noises like pirates. They had fun. + +But then, Lily swung her stick too hard. It flew out of her hand and landed in the pond. Lily gasped. + +"Oh no, my stick!" Lily said. "It's in the water. How can I get it back?" + +Ben looked at the pond. He saw the stick floating near the edge. He had an idea. + +"I can get it for you, Lily," Ben said. "I can dive in the water and grab it." + +Lily looked at Ben. She was scared. She didn't like the water. It was cold and wet and deep. She was shy of the water. + +"Are you sure, Ben?" Lily said. "The water is scary. You might get hurt." + +Ben smiled. He was brave. He liked the water. He had learned to swim with his dad. He was not shy of the water. + +"Don't worry, Lily," Ben said. "I can do it. Watch me." + +He put his stick down and ran to the pond. He jumped and dove in the water. He made a big splash. Lily watched him. She hoped he was okay. + +Ben swam to the stick. He reached out and grabbed it. He was happy. He had the stick. He swam back to the edge. He climbed out of the water. He was wet and cold, but he didn't mind. He held the stick and ran to Lily. + +"Here, Lily, I got your stick!" Ben said. "Are you happy?" + +Lily smiled. She was happy. She took the stick and hugged it. She hugged Ben too. + +"Thank you, Ben, you are so kind!" Lily said. "You are my best friend." + +Ben smiled too. He was happy. He hugged Lily back. + +"You're welcome, Lily, you are so sweet!" Ben said. "You are my best friend too." + +They dried themselves and picked up their sticks. They went back to playing. They had more fun. They were happy. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in the living room. They have many toys and books. But today they are bored. They want to do something new. + +"Let's crawl to the kitchen," Tom says. "Maybe we can find some cheese. I like cheese. It is yummy." + +"OK," Mia says. "But we have to be quiet. Mom and Dad are sleepy. They are in their bed." + +Tom and Mia crawl on the floor. They go past the sofa, the table, and the TV. They see the door to the kitchen. They open it slowly. + +They crawl into the kitchen. They see the fridge. They see a yellow box on the fridge. It has a picture of cheese on it. + +"Look, there is the cheese!" Tom says. He stands up and reaches for the box. + +But the box is too high. He cannot get it. He falls down. He makes a loud noise. + +"Shh, Tom, you are too loud!" Mia says. She crawls to him and helps him up. + +They hear footsteps. They see Mom and Dad coming to the kitchen. They look angry. + +"What are you doing here?" Mom asks. "You should be in your bed. It is nap time." + +"We are sorry, Mom," Tom says. "We wanted some cheese." + +"You can have some cheese later," Dad says. "But now you have to go back to your bed. You are sleepy. You need to rest." + +Tom and Mia nod. They are sleepy. They crawl back to their bed. They hug their teddy bears. They close their eyes. They dream of cheese. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play and have fun. But they also have to study. They have to learn letters and numbers and colors. + +One day, they have a big test. Mom and Dad say they have to study hard. Tom and Mia do not want to study. They want to watch TV and play with toys. They are spoiled. + +They have a plan. They say they will study in their room. But they do not study. They watch TV and play with toys. They think Mom and Dad do not know. + +But Mom and Dad are smart. They know Tom and Mia are not studying. They go to their room and see the TV and the toys. They are angry. + +They turn off the TV and take away the toys. They say Tom and Mia have to study now. They say no TV and no toys until they pass the test. + +Tom and Mia are sad. They know they are in trouble. They wish they had studied. They look at each other and wink. They hope they can pass the test. +Lila and Sam were restless. They did not want to nap. They wanted to play with their toys and run around the house. But Mom said they had to lie down and be quiet for a while. + +They shared a big bed in their room. Lila had a pink balloon that she got from the park. Sam had a blue balloon that he got from the store. They liked to rock their balloons in the air and watch them bounce. + +"Look, Sam, my balloon is higher than yours!" Lila said. + +"No, mine is higher!" Sam said. + +They rocked their balloons harder and harder. They giggled and squealed. They did not hear Mom coming up the stairs. + +Mom opened the door and saw them playing. She was not happy. She took their balloons and put them on the shelf. + +"Enough, Lila and Sam. You need to nap now. No more rocking balloons. They are not for the bed. They are for outside." Mom said. + +Lila and Sam pouted. They did not want to give up their balloons. They did not want to nap. They wanted to rock. + +But Mom did not listen. She tucked them in and kissed them. She turned off the light and closed the door. + +Lila and Sam lay still for a moment. Then they whispered to each other. + +"Sam, do you miss your balloon?" Lila asked. + +"Yes, Lila, I do. Do you miss yours?" Sam asked. + +"Yes, Sam, I do. Do you want to rock?" Lila asked. + +"Yes, Lila, I do. Do you want to rock?" Sam asked. + +They nodded. They reached for each other's hands. They rocked their bodies gently from side to side. They pretended they still had their balloons. They smiled and closed their eyes. They rocked until they fell asleep. +Sara and Ben were playing in the yard. They saw a big house with a fence. The house was old and dark. It looked scary. + +"Let's go see the house," Ben said. He liked to explore new things. + +"No, Ben, it's scary. Mommy said not to go there," Sara said. She was afraid of the house. + +"Come on, Sara, don't be a baby. It's just a house. Maybe we can find something fun inside," Ben said. He walked to the fence and found a hole. He crawled through the hole and ran to the house. + +"Ben, wait for me!" Sara said. She did not want to be alone. She crawled through the hole and followed Ben. She saw him trying to open the door of the house. The door was locked. + +"Look, Sara, I found a key!" Ben said. He picked up a rusty key from the ground. He put the key in the lock and turned it. The door unlocked with a loud click. + +"Ben, don't go in! It's scary!" Sara said. She grabbed his hand and tried to pull him back. + +"Let go, Sara, I want to see what's inside!" Ben said. He pushed the door open and walked in. Sara followed him, holding his hand tightly. + +The house was dark and dusty. There were cobwebs and spiders everywhere. There were broken chairs and tables and old toys. There were strange noises and shadows. + +"Ben, I don't like it here. Let's go back," Sara said. She was shaking and crying. + +"Okay, okay, Sara, don't cry. Let's go back," Ben said. He was scared too. He turned around and walked to the door. He tried to open it, but it was locked. + +"Ben, what's wrong?" Sara asked. + +"The door is locked, Sara. We can't get out!" Ben said. He banged on the door and shouted for help. + +"Help! Help! Let us out!" Sara and Ben cried. They hugged each other and hoped someone would hear them. They wished they had never gone to the scary house. +Tom and Lily were playing with their crayons and paper. They liked to mark many things with different colors. They made pictures of their family, their pets, and their toys. They had fun and laughed a lot. + +But then they heard a loud noise outside. It was a tornado. A tornado is a big wind that spins very fast and can break things. Tom and Lily were scared. They ran to their mom and dad, who were in the basement. The basement is a safe place under the ground. + +Mom and dad hugged Tom and Lily and told them not to worry. They said the tornado would go away soon. They gave them some snacks and a book to read. Tom and Lily felt better. + +After a while, the noise stopped. Mom and dad said it was safe to go back upstairs. Tom and Lily followed them. But when they saw their room, they gasped. It was very messy. The tornado had blown their window open and thrown their crayons and paper everywhere. There were marks on the walls, the floor, and the bed. + +Tom and Lily felt sad. They liked their room and their marks. They did not like the mess. Mom and dad said they would help them clean up. They said they were proud of them for being brave and smart. They said they could make new marks and pictures later. Tom and Lily smiled. They hugged mom and dad and said thank you. They knew they were lucky to have each other. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a plan to make a big row of rocks and sticks. They wanted to see how long they could make it. + +They found many rocks and sticks on the ground. They started to put them in a row. They worked hard and had fun. They made the row longer and longer. + +But then, a nosy dog came by. The dog saw the row of rocks and sticks. He thought it was a toy. He ran to the row and started to dig and bite. He made a big mess. + +Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They shouted at the dog. "Go away, dog! You are nosy and bad! You ruined our plan!" + +The dog barked and wagged his tail. He did not understand. He thought they wanted to play. He jumped on them and licked their faces. + +Lily and Ben did not like the dog. They ran away from him. They looked for another place to make their row. They hoped the dog would not follow them. +Lily and Ben like to play with blocks. They can make many things with blocks. They can make towers, bridges, houses, and cars. They have fun with blocks. + +One day, Lily and Ben decide to make a big structure with all their blocks. They work hard and use their imagination. They put blocks on top of blocks, and make different shapes and colors. They make a structure that looks like a castle. + +They are very proud of their structure. They want to show it to their mom and dad. They call them and say, "Come and see what we made with blocks! It is amazing!" + +Mom and dad come and see the structure. They are very impressed and happy. They say, "Wow, what a beautiful and amazing structure! You are very clever and creative! We are proud of you!" + +Lily and Ben smile and hug their mom and dad.

She couldn't wait to come back again. +Once upon a time, there was a poor little mouse. He lived in a small hole in a big field. One day, the mouse went out to find some food. He saw a big ball and started to roll it. The ball was so big that the mouse couldn't stop it. It rolled and rolled until it reached an oasis. The mouse was so happy to find water in the oasis. He drank and drank until he was full. Then, he went back to his hole, feeling very happy. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play with his toys and explore the world around him. He believed that the world was a big and wonderful place full of surprises. + +One day, Timmy went on an adventure in the woods. He walked for a long time until he found a cozy spot to rest. He felt comfortable and safe, surrounded by the trees and the chirping birds. + +But then, something scary happened. A big, hungry bear appeared out of nowhere and chased Timmy. Timmy tried to run away, but the bear was too fast. Sadly, Timmy didn't make it out alive. + +Timmy's parents were heartbroken and couldn't believe what had happened to their little boy.

The fox thought that Floppy's fur would make a great coat, so he tried to catch him. But Floppy woke up just in time and ran away. + +After that scary experience, Floppy realized that taking naps was important to stay safe and healthy.
