They learned to be ready for anything. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their toy trains. They had many engines of different colors and sizes. They made tracks and bridges and tunnels for their engines. + +One day, Tim wanted to play with Sam's red engine. He asked Sam, "Can I have your red engine? It is very fast and shiny." + +Sam said, "No, you cannot. It is mine. You have your own engines. Go play with them." + +Tim was angry. He said, "You are not nice. You are selfish. You never share anything." He grabbed Sam's red engine and ran away. + +Sam was sad. He said, "Give me back my red engine. It is my favorite. You are not my friend anymore." He chased Tim and tried to get his engine back. + +They ran and ran until they bumped into a big tree. The red engine fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Tim and Sam both cried. They looked at the broken engine and felt sorry. + +They said to each other, "I am sorry. I was wrong. I should have shared. I should have asked. I should have been careful." + +They hugged and said, "I forgive you. You are still my friend. We can fix the engine together. We can play with our trains again." + +They learned that sharing is good, asking is polite, and being careful is wise. They also learned that forgiving is kind and friendship is precious. They were happy and played with their trains again. They did not have a boring day. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together on Sunday. They have many toys in their room. They have cars, dolls, books, and puzzles. + +One Sunday, they want to play with a new toy. Tom's mom gave him a big box. She said, "This is a surprise for you. You can open it on Sunday." Tom is very happy. He tells Mia, "I have a surprise for you. Come and see." + +They go to Tom's room. They see the big box. It has a bow and a card. Tom reads the card. It says, "Happy Sunday, Tom. I love you. Mom." Tom smiles. He says, "Thank you, Mom. I love you too." He gives the card to Mia. He says, "You can help me open the box." + +They pull the bow. They tear the paper. They open the box. They see a big teddy bear. It is brown and soft. It has a red hat and a blue scarf. It has a button on its paw. Tom presses the button. The teddy bear says, "Hello, I'm Teddy. I like to sing and dance. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom and Mia are very surprised. They laugh. They say, "Hello, Teddy. We like to sing and dance too. We want to play with you." They hug the teddy bear. They sing and dance with him. They have a lot of fun. + +Tom's mom comes to the room. She sees them playing with the teddy bear. She smiles. She says, "I'm glad you like your surprise, Tom. You and Mia are very sweet. Teddy is very silly. He makes you happy." Tom and Mia say, "Thank you, Mom. You are very nice. Teddy is very silly. He makes us happy." They give her a kiss. They play with Teddy until it is time for lunch. They have a happy Sunday. +Jill liked to play with dolls. She had many dolls of different sizes and colors. She gave them names and clothes and made them have tea parties. She liked to make them look pretty with ribbons and clips. + +One day, Jill went to visit her cousin Ben. Ben did not like dolls. He liked cars and trucks and robots. He thought dolls were silly and boring. He did not want to play with Jill and her dolls. He was rude to her. + +He said, "Dolls are for babies. You are a baby. Your dolls are ugly and dumb. I will show you something fun." He grabbed one of Jill's dolls and ran to his room. Jill followed him, crying. + +In his room, Ben had scissors and glue and paint. He said, "I will make your doll have a new style. A better style. A fun style." He cut off the doll's hair and tore off her clothes. He glued on pieces of paper and plastic. He painted her face and body with different colors. He laughed and said, "Look, your doll is a clown. A funny clown. Do you like her now?" + +Jill was very sad and angry. She did not like what Ben did to her doll. She did not think it was funny or fun. She thought it was mean and cruel. She said, "You are a bad cousin. You are a bad boy. You ruined my doll. You hurt my feelings. I hate you." She snatched her doll and ran out of his room. She did not want to play with him ever again. + +Ben did not care. He did not say sorry. He did not feel bad. He thought he was clever and cool. He did not understand why Jill was so upset. He shrugged and said, "It's just a doll. It's not real. It's not important. You are too sensitive. You need to grow up." He went back to his cars and trucks and robots. He forgot about Jill and her doll. He was a rude and selfish boy. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a cute bee on a flower. Anna wants to touch the bee. Ben says, "No, Anna, bees can sting. It hurts a lot." + +But Anna does not listen. She reaches out her hand to the bee. The bee gets angry and flies to Anna's face. Anna feels a sharp pain on her nose. She starts to cry and shout, "Ow, ow, ow!" + +Ben runs to Anna and tries to help her. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna, I told you not to touch the bee. Let me see your nose. Maybe we need to go to mom." + +But Anna is too scared and sad. She pushes Ben away and says, "Go away, Ben, you are a bad brother. You made the bee sting me. I hate you." + +Ben feels hurt and confused. He does not know what to do. He says, "Anna, I did not make the bee sting you. I tried to warn you. I love you. Please don't hate me." + +But Anna does not hear him. She keeps crying and shouting. She runs away from Ben and the park. Ben is left alone with the bee and the flower. He feels lonely and sad. He wishes Anna would come back and hug him. He wishes the bee would fly away and never come back. He wishes the day would end soon. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big puddle on the street. It is shiny and wet. + +"Look, Ben, a puddle!" Lily says. "Let's jump in it!" + +"OK, Lily, that sounds fun!" Ben says. They run to the puddle and jump in it. They splash and laugh. They make big waves. + +A man walks by. He has a camera. He sees Lily and Ben in the puddle. He thinks they are cute. He stops and takes a picture. + +"Hello, kids, can I take your picture?" he asks. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben say. They smile and pose in the puddle. + +"Thank you, kids, you are very good models!" the man says. "I am a photographer. I sell pictures to magazines. Maybe your picture will be in a magazine. Then you will be famous!" + +"Wow, really?" Lily and Ben say. They are excited. They want to be famous. + +"Yes, really!" the man says. "But you have to ask your parents first. Can I have their names and phone numbers?" + +Lily and Ben tell the man their parents' names and phone numbers. The man writes them down. He gives Lily and Ben a card. + +"Here, this is my card. Call me if you want to see your picture. Bye, kids, have a nice day!" he says. He leaves. + +Lily and Ben look at the card. It has the man's name and phone number. It also has a picture of a camera. + +"Wow, Lily, we might be in a magazine!" Ben says. + +"Wow, Ben, we might be famous!" Lily says. + +They hug each other. They are happy. They jump in the puddle again. They splash and laugh. They make big waves. +Anna loved to dress up in her mom's clothes. She liked to wear her mom's hats, shoes, and scarves. She felt like a grown-up lady when she did that. But there was one object that she liked the most. It was a unique necklace that her mom got from her grandma. It had shiny stones and a big heart in the middle. Anna thought it was the most beautiful thing in the world. + +One day, when her mom was out, Anna decided to dress up again. She put on a hat, a dress, and some shoes. Then she looked for the necklace. She found it in her mom's drawer. She was very happy. She put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled and said, "I look like a princess!" + +But then she heard the door open. It was her mom. She came back early. Anna got scared. She knew her mom did not like her to touch the necklace. She tried to take it off, but it was too tight. She pulled and pulled, but it did not come off. She started to cry. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to her room. She saw Anna with the necklace. She was angry. She said, "Anna, what did you do? That is my special necklace. You are not supposed to touch it. You could break it or lose it. It is very important to me. How could you be so naughty?" + +Anna felt very sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to dress up like you. I love the necklace. It is so pretty. Please don't be mad at me. I can't take it off. It is stuck." + +Her mom sighed. She was not angry anymore. She was sad. She said, "I know you love the necklace, Anna. But it is not yours. It is mine. It was a gift from my grandma. She gave it to me before she died. She told me to take good care of it. It is very special to me. It reminds me of her. I miss her very much." + +Anna looked at her mom. She saw tears in her eyes. She felt very bad. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I miss grandma too. She was very nice to me. She always gave me hugs and cookies. Can I give you a hug?" + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can. Come here, sweetie." She hugged Anna and kissed her. She said, "I love you, Anna. You are my special girl. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will never touch the necklace again. Okay?" + +Anna nodded. She said, "I promise, mom. I love you too. Can you help me take it off?" + +Her mom said, "Of course. Let me see." She gently loosened the clasp and took off the necklace. She put it back in the drawer. She said, "There. All done. Now, how about we go to the kitchen and make some cookies? Just like grandma used to do." + +Anna smiled. She said, "Yes, please. That sounds fun. Can I wear your hat?" + +Her mom laughed. She said, "Sure. Why not? You can wear my hat. But only my hat. Okay?" + +Anna said, "Okay. Thank you, mom. You are the best." + +They held hands and went to the kitchen. They made cookies and ate them. They talked and laughed. They felt happy. They felt close. They felt like a family. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with blocks. They can make many things with blocks. They can make a house, a car, a tower, or a train. + +One day, they find a frog in the garden. The frog is green and wet. It hops and croaks. Tom and Lily are curious. They want to play with the frog. + +"Hello, frog," Tom says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The frog does not answer. It hops away. + +"Wait, frog," Lily says. "We have blocks. We can make something for you." + +Tom and Lily run after the frog. They catch it and put it in a box. They take the box and the blocks to the porch. + +"What can we make for the frog?" Tom asks. + +"Let's make a modern house," Lily says. "A modern house is big and shiny. It has many windows and doors." + +"OK," Tom says. "How do we make a modern house?" + +"We need many blocks," Lily says. "We add blocks to make the walls. We add more blocks to make the roof. We add small blocks to make the windows and doors." + +Tom and Lily start to add blocks. They make a big and shiny house. They make many windows and doors. They are proud of their work. + +"Look, frog," Tom says. "This is your modern house. Do you like it?" + +The frog does not answer. It looks around. It does not like the house. It does not like the box. It wants to go back to the garden. + +The frog hops out of the box. It hops out of the house. It hops off the porch. It hops to the garden. + +"Bye, frog," Lily says. "We are sorry. We wanted to make you happy." + +Tom and Lily are sad. They look at their modern house. They do not want to play with it anymore. + +They put the blocks away. They go to the garden. They look for the frog. They hope to see it again. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. They saw a big squash growing on a vine. It was green and round and had stripes. + +"Let's pick it and eat it!" Ben said. + +"No, we can't. Mom said it's not ready yet. She will make soup with it later." Lily said. + +But Ben did not listen. He pulled the squash hard. It came off the vine with a snap. He ran to the house with it. + +Lily followed him. She was scared. Mom would be angry. + +They got to the kitchen. Mom was not there. She was in the living room. Ben put the squash on the table. He looked for a knife. He wanted to cut the squash. + +But the squash was not a squash. It was a turtle. It had a hard shell and a head and legs. It was hiding inside the squash. It was sleepy. + +The turtle woke up. It saw Ben and Lily. It did not like them. It wanted to escape. It opened its mouth and hissed. It bit Ben's finger. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ben cried. He dropped the knife and the squash. He ran to Mom. + +Lily saw the turtle. She was surprised. She thought it was cute. She picked it up gently. She said sorry to it. + +"Hello, turtle. You are not a squash. You are a friend. Where did you come from? Do you want to play with me?" Lily said. + +The turtle liked Lily. She was nice. It did not hiss or bite. It stuck out its head and legs. It blinked its eyes. + +Lily smiled. She took the turtle to the garden. She made a pond for it with a bucket and some water. She gave it some lettuce and berries. She sang to it. + +The turtle was happy. It ate and drank and listened. It did not want to escape anymore. It wanted to stay with Lily. +Lily and Ben were twins who loved to play pirates. They had a big cardboard box that they pretended was a ship. They wore hats and scarves and had wooden swords. They sailed across the sea and looked for treasure. + +One day, they found a big coconut on the beach. They thought it was a treasure and took it to their ship. They wanted to taste it, but they did not know how to open it. They tried to cut it with their swords, but it was too hard. They tried to smash it with a rock, but it was too round. They tried to bite it, but it hurt their teeth. + +They were about to give up, when they saw a real sailor walking by. He had a big beard and a hook for a hand. He looked scary, but he was friendly. He saw the twins and their coconut and smiled. + +"Ahoy, mates! Do you need some help with that?" he asked. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben said. "We want to taste the coconut, but we can't open it." + +The sailor took the coconut and used his hook to make a hole in it. He gave it back to the twins and showed them how to drink the juice inside. It was sweet and refreshing. Then he used his knife to cut the coconut in half and gave them each a piece of the white flesh. It was soft and yummy. + +"Thank you, sailor!" Lily and Ben said. "You are very kind and brave." + +The sailor laughed and said, "You're welcome, mates. You are very curious and adventurous. But remember, not everything that looks like a treasure is a treasure. Sometimes, the real treasure is the friend you make along the way." + +Lily and Ben nodded and hugged the sailor. They learned a valuable lesson that day. They shared their coconut with the sailor and played pirates with him until the sun set. They had a lot of fun and made a new friend. They were happy. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play games. Today they play hide and seek. Sara counts to ten and then looks for Tom. She sees his colorful shoes under the bed. She jokes, "I found you, Tom! You have big feet!" + +Tom laughs and comes out. He says, "You are good at finding, Sara. Now it is my turn to count." He covers his eyes and counts to ten. Sara runs and hides behind the curtain. She thinks, "Tom will not find me here. I will win!" + +But Tom is smart. He hears Sara giggle behind the curtain. He jokes, "I found you, Sara! You have a loud voice!" He pulls the curtain and sees Sara. Sara smiles and says, "You are good at finding, too, Tom. We are both good!" + +They hug and say, "We are both winners!" They share the victory. They are happy. They play more games. They have fun. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were playing catch with a ball in the park. They liked to throw the ball high and far and run after it. They were having a jolly time. + +But then, a big dog came and saw the ball. The dog wanted to play too. He ran and caught the ball in his mouth. He did not give it back to Tom and Lily. He ran away with the ball. + +Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. They chased the dog, but he was too fast. They shouted and cried, but he did not listen. + +The dog ran to a big house with a fence. He jumped over the fence and went inside. Tom and Lily followed him. They saw a sign on the fence that said: "Beware of the Queen". + +They did not know what that meant. They thought maybe the queen was a nice lady who would help them get their ball back. They climbed over the fence and knocked on the door. + +But the queen was not a nice lady. She was a mean cat who lived in the house. She did not like dogs or children. She heard the knock and came to the door. She saw the dog with the ball and the children behind him. She hissed and scratched and chased them away. + +Tom and Lily and the dog ran back to the park. They were scared and hurt. They did not want to play catch anymore. They learned a lesson: never trust a dog with a ball or a cat with a crown. +Tom and Lily were playing with their crayons and paper. They liked to draw many things, like cars, flowers, and animals. They had a big box of crayons with many colors. + +But Tom was feeling naughty. He wanted to make Lily angry. He took her eraser and hid it under his paper. Then he drew a big line on her picture. Lily saw what he did and was very sad. She wanted to erase the line and fix her picture. + +"Tom, give me my eraser!" she said. "You are naughty and mean!" + +Tom laughed and said, "No, I will not give you your eraser. It is mine now. You can't have it!" + +Lily was very angry. She tried to grab the eraser from Tom, but he held it tight. They started to pull and tug on the eraser. They did not see that their teacher was coming. + +The teacher saw them fighting and said, "Stop it, Tom and Lily! What are you doing? Why are you not sharing?" + +Tom and Lily stopped and looked at the teacher. They felt ashamed. They knew they were wrong. + +The teacher took the eraser and said, "This is Lily's eraser, Tom. You should not take it without asking. And you should not draw on her picture. That is not nice. You should say sorry to Lily and give her back her eraser." + +Tom felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was naughty and mean. Here is your eraser. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily felt sorry too. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was angry and rude. I forgive you. Can we be friends again?" + +Tom and Lily smiled and hugged. They said, "Yes, we can be friends again. Let's share our crayons and paper and draw together." + +The teacher smiled and said, "That's good, Tom and Lily. I'm proud of you. You learned to say sorry and forgive. You learned to share and be kind. Now you can have fun and play together." +Lily and Sam liked to jog in the park. They jogged fast and slow, up and down, and around and around. They had fun and felt good. + +One day, they saw a big raft on the pond. It was blue and yellow, and had a sail and a flag. Lily and Sam wanted to go on the raft. They ran to the pond and asked the boy who was on the raft. + +"Can we go on your raft, please?" Lily asked. + +"No, you can't. This is my raft. Go away!" the boy said. He was mean and rude. + +Lily and Sam felt sad and envious. They wished they had a raft like that. They looked at the pond and saw the boy sailing away. + +"Let's make our own raft!" Sam said. He had an idea. + +They found some sticks and leaves and tied them together. They made a small raft that could float. They put it on the water and got on. They used a branch as a paddle and a shirt as a sail. + +They sailed on their raft and had fun. They did not care about the big raft anymore. They were happy and proud. + +The boy who had the big raft saw them. He felt lonely and bored. He wished he had friends like Lily and Sam. He looked at his raft and saw that it was not so fun. He was sorry and ashamed. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They saw a big cart near the trees. It was full of toys and books. Lily and Ben were nosy. They wanted to see what was in the cart. + +They ran to the cart and looked inside. They saw dolls, cars, balls and puzzles. They also saw a big book with many pictures. Lily and Ben wanted to play with the toys and read the book. They took some toys and the book out of the cart. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" a voice said. Lily and Ben turned around. They saw a man with a hat and a coat. He was holding a leash. He had a dog with him. The dog was barking. The man looked angry. He said, "This is my cart. These are my things. You can't take them. Put them back now!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the toys and the book. They said, "Sorry, sorry, we didn't know. We just wanted to see. We won't do it again." They ran away from the cart. They ran back to their mom and dad. They told them what happened. Their mom and dad hugged them. They said, "It's not nice to be nosy. You should ask before you touch other people's things. You could get in trouble or hurt. Next time, be more careful." + +Lily and Ben said, "OK, we will. We're sorry." They learned their lesson. They played in the park some more. They had fun. They didn't go near the cart again. They were happy. +Tom likes to read books with his mom. They sit on the sofa and look at the pictures and words on the pages. Mom reads the words and Tom listens. Sometimes he asks questions or says what he sees. + +One day, they read a book about animals. Tom likes animals. He sees a cat, a dog, a bird, and a fish. He points to each one and says their names. Mom nods and smiles. She asks him, "Which animal do you like best?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes all the animals, but he has a favorite. He points to the dog and says, "I like the dog best. He is cute and furry. He can run and play. He can bark and wag his tail. He is a good friend." + +Mom replies, "You are right, Tom. The dog is a good friend. He is also a good animal. Do you know what he likes to eat?" + +Tom nods. He knows what the dog likes to eat. He says, "He likes to eat bones and meat and kibble. He also likes to drink water and milk. Sometimes he likes to eat cookies, but only if we share." + +Mom laughs and hugs Tom. She says, "You are very smart, Tom. You know a lot about the dog. I'm proud of you. Do you want to read another page?" + +Tom nods again. He likes to read books with his mom. He says, "Yes, please. I want to see more animals. Maybe we can see a lion or a monkey or a bear. They are also good animals, but they live far away." + +Mom turns the page and they see more animals. They read and talk and have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben went to the lake with Mom and Dad. They liked to swim and splash in the water. They saw many fish in the lake. Some fish were big and some fish were small. Some fish were red and some fish were blue. + +"Look, Lily, a wide fish!" Ben said, pointing to a fish that had a wide mouth and a wide tail. "It looks funny!" + +Lily laughed. "Yes, it does. I want to see it closer. Let's dive and swim to it!" + +They took a deep breath and dove into the water. They swam fast and followed the wide fish. The wide fish saw them and swam away. Lily and Ben chased it, but it was too fast for them. + +"Come back, wide fish!" Lily shouted, but the fish did not hear her. It swam deeper and deeper into the lake. + +Lily and Ben came up to the surface. They were out of breath and tired. They looked at each other and smiled. + +"That was fun!" Ben said. + +"Yes, it was!" Lily agreed. "But I wish we could catch the wide fish." + +"Maybe next time," Mom said, as she wrapped them in a towel. "Now let's go home and have some lunch. You must be hungry after your dive." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They were hungry and happy. They liked the lake and the fish. They hoped to come back soon and see the wide fish again. +Tom and Lily were twins who loved to play soccer. They had a big dream to play in the stadium one day, where many people watched and cheered. They practiced every day in the park with their friends, and they always wore their original soccer shirts with their names on them. + +One day, they heard that there was a soccer tournament for kids at the stadium. They were very excited and wanted to join. They asked their mom and dad, and they said yes. They packed their soccer balls, their water bottles, and their original shirts. They were ready to go. + +At the stadium, they met many other kids who also loved soccer. They played hard and had fun. They scored many goals and made many friends. But they also saw some kids who were not nice. They pushed and kicked and called names. They did not play fair. + +Tom and Lily did not like that. They wanted to play with respect and kindness. They did not want to hurt anyone or make anyone sad. They decided to play their best, but also to help others. They passed the ball, they cheered, they said sorry, they said good job. They showed good sportsmanship. + +The tournament ended with a tie. Tom and Lily and their team were very happy. They did not care who won or lost. They cared about having fun and being good. They hugged and high-fived their friends and their opponents. They thanked their mom and dad and their coach. They were proud of themselves and their original shirts. + +The moral of the story is: Playing fair and being kind is more important than winning or losing. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big truck and Lily had a small doll. They were happy and shared their toys. + +But then, Tom came in. Tom was their older brother and he was mean. He saw Ben's truck and he wanted it. He did not ask Ben. He just took it. He stole it. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Ben shouted. He ran after Tom and tried to get his truck back. But Tom was faster and stronger. He pushed Ben away and laughed. + +Lily saw what Tom did and she felt sad for Ben. She wanted to help him. She had an idea. She took her doll and hid it behind her back. She walked to Tom and said, "Tom, can I see your thumb?" + +Tom was curious. He stopped playing with the truck and showed Lily his thumb. He said, "Why do you want to see my thumb?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Because it's cold." She grabbed his thumb and bit it hard. Tom screamed and dropped the truck. He ran away, holding his thumb. + +Ben saw his truck on the floor and picked it up. He hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are brave and smart. You are my best friend." + +Lily hugged Ben and said, "You're welcome, Ben. You are kind and nice. You are my best friend too." + +They went back to the living room and played with their toys. They were happy and shared their toys. +Sara and Ben are twins. They are three years old. They like to play with their toys and books. One day, their mom tells them she has a surprise for them. She brings them to a room with a small bed and a crib. + +"Look, Sara and Ben, this is your new baby brother. His name is Sam. He is an infant. He is very small and quiet. He needs a lot of love and care. Do you want to say hello to him?" Mom asks. + +Sara and Ben are curious. They walk to the crib and peek at Sam. He is sleeping. He has a tiny nose and a soft blanket. Sara smiles and touches his hand gently. Ben nods and whispers, "Hello, Sam. We are your big brother and sister. We will play with you when you get bigger." + +Mom hugs them and says, "You are very good and modest, Sara and Ben. I am proud of you. You will be great helpers for me and dad. Sam is lucky to have you." + +Sara and Ben are happy. They have a new baby brother. They want to get to know him more. They think of all the fun things they will do with him when he grows up. They love Sam. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but they also liked to look out of the window and see the birds, the cars, and the people. Sometimes they waved to them and said hello. + +One day, they saw a big truck with a long arm and a basket. It stopped in front of their house and a man got out. He wore a yellow hat and a belt with tools. He climbed into the basket and the arm lifted him up to the roof. Tom and Lily were curious and wanted to see what he was doing. + +They pushed a chair to the window and climbed on it. They leaned out of the window and tried to reach the basket. But the window was not flexible and it did not move. They pushed harder and harder, but the window only made a loud noise. The man heard the noise and looked down. He saw Tom and Lily hanging out of the window and he was scared. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" he shouted. "Get back inside, it's dangerous!" + +Tom and Lily were startled and let go of the window. They fell off the chair and bumped their heads. They started to cry and their mom came running. She saw the man in the basket and the window and she was angry. + +"What were you thinking?" she asked. "You could have fallen and hurt yourself. You should never lean out of the window. It's not a toy. It's for looking, not touching." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry and said they were sorry. They hugged their mom and she hugged them back. She put a band-aid on their heads and gave them a kiss. She told them to be careful and to listen to grown-ups. She said they could still watch the man, but from a safe distance. Tom and Lily nodded and said they understood. + +They learned their lesson and never leaned out of the window again. They discovered that the man was fixing the roof and that he was very nice. He waved to them and gave them a sticker when he was done. They thanked him and said goodbye. They were happy and so was their mom. +One day, a famous bear came to visit a little girl and her family. The bear was very big and furry, and he wore a red hat and a blue coat. He had a suitcase with him, and he said he wanted to see the world. + +The little girl was very happy to meet the bear, and she asked him if he wanted to have tea with her. The bear nodded and smiled, and he followed her to the kitchen. There, the little girl poured some tea into a cup and gave it to the bear. She also gave him a biscuit and a honey pot. + +The bear drank the tea and ate the biscuit and the honey. He said the tea was very good, and he thanked the little girl. He told her stories about his travels and his adventures. He said he had seen many places and met many people, but he also missed his home and his friends. + +The little girl listened to the bear and asked him questions. She said she wanted to travel too, and see the world. She asked the bear if he would take her with him. The bear looked at her and shook his head. He said he was sorry, but he had to go alone. He said the world was big and beautiful, but also dangerous and scary. He said the little girl was too young and too small to go with him. He said she had to stay with her family and be safe and happy. + +The little girl felt sad and angry. She said the bear was mean and selfish. She said she didn't want to be his friend anymore. She took the cup and the biscuit and the honey pot from him, and she ran away to her room. She slammed the door and cried. + +The bear felt sorry and sad too. He said he didn't mean to hurt the little girl. He said he only wanted to protect her. He said he liked her and he wanted to be her friend. He knocked on the door and called her name, but she didn't answer. He sighed and picked up his suitcase. He said goodbye to the family and left the house. + +The moral of the story is: Sometimes, we have to respect the choices and the feelings of others, even if we don't agree with them. We have to be kind and grateful to those who welcome us and share with us. We have to be brave and curious, but also careful and wise. And we have to remember that friendship is a precious gift that we should cherish and not lose. +Tom and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom has a box of cards with different pictures on them. Mia has a bag of envelopes with stickers on them. They want to play a game with their cards and envelopes. + +"Let's match the cards and the envelopes," Tom says. "We can put the card with the same picture as the sticker inside the envelope." + +"Okay, that sounds fun," Mia says. "I have a sticker with a cat. Do you have a card with a cat?" + +Tom looks at his cards and finds one with a cat. He shows it to Mia. "Yes, I have a cat. Here it is. Can I have the envelope with the cat sticker?" + +Mia gives him the envelope. Tom puts the card inside and closes it. He smiles. "We matched the cat card and the envelope. Now it is your turn. What sticker do you have?" + +Mia picks an envelope from her bag. She looks at the sticker. It is a flower. She shows it to Tom. "I have a flower. Do you have a card with a flower?" + +Tom looks at his cards again. He finds one with a flower. He shows it to Mia. "Yes, I have a flower. Here it is. Can I have the envelope with the flower sticker?" + +Mia gives him the envelope. Tom puts the card inside and closes it. He smiles. "We matched the flower card and the envelope. We are good at this game." + +They continue to match the cards and the envelopes until they have no more left. They have a pile of envelopes on the floor. They pick them up and hold them in their hands. They feel heavy. + +"These envelopes are heavy," Tom says. "They have cards inside. Do you want to open them and see the pictures again?" + +"Yes, I do," Mia says. "Let's open them and see the pictures again. Maybe we can make a new game with them." + +They sit down and open the envelopes. They take out the cards and look at the pictures. They are happy. They like to play with their cards and envelopes. They match them and make them heavy. They have fun. +Ben and Mia liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made roads and bridges with blocks and books. They zoomed and crashed their cars and made loud noises. + +One day, they found a new car in their toy box. It was white and had a skeleton on it. The skeleton had a big smile and wore a hat. Ben and Mia thought it was funny and scary. They wanted to try it out. + +They put the car on the floor and pushed a button. The car started to move by itself. It went very fast and made a spooky sound. Ben and Mia laughed and chased it. But the car was tricky. It could reverse and turn around. It dodged and darted and escaped from them. + +Ben and Mia ran after the car, but they got dizzy. They bumped into each other and fell down. The car stopped and looked at them. It winked and beeped. Ben and Mia got up and rubbed their heads. They were not hurt, but they were tired. + +They decided to put the car back in the toy box. They said goodbye to the skeleton and thanked it for the fun. They played with their other cars and had a nice time. They wondered what other surprises their toy box had. +Sara was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Lily. Lily had long yellow hair, a pink dress and a smile on her face. Sara took Lily everywhere with her, even to bed. + +One day, Sara and her mom went to the park. Sara brought Lily with her, of course. She played on the swings, the slide and the sandbox with Lily. She had a lot of fun. But when it was time to go home, Sara forgot something. She forgot Lily in the sandbox. + +Sara did not remember Lily until she was in the car. She looked for Lily in her bag, but she was not there. She felt very sad and troubled. She cried and told her mom, "Mom, I forgot Lily in the park! I want Lily back!" + +Her mom was kind and said, "Don't worry, Sara. We will go back to the park and find Lily. Maybe someone saw her and kept her safe. Maybe she is still in the sandbox, waiting for you." + +They drove back to the park as fast as they could. Sara hoped that Lily was still there. She ran to the sandbox and looked for Lily. She saw a lot of sand, a lot of toys, but no Lily. She felt more sad and troubled. She cried and said, "Mom, Lily is gone! Someone took her away!" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Sara. Maybe someone found Lily and liked her too. Maybe they will take good care of her. Maybe we can find another doll for you." + +Sara shook her head and said, "No, Mom. I don't want another doll. I want Lily. Lily is my best friend. I miss her so much." + +Then, Sara saw something. She saw a point of yellow in the sand. She dug with her hands and pulled out Lily. Lily was dirty and wet, but she was still smiling. Sara was so happy and surprised. She hugged Lily and said, "Lily, you are here! You are not gone! I love you, Lily!" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Look, Sara. You found Lily. She was hiding in the sand. She was waiting for you. She loves you too." + +Sara and her mom cleaned Lily and took her home. Sara was not sad and troubled anymore. She was happy and thankful. She said, "Mom, thank you for helping me find Lily. Thank you for being my mom. I love you, Mom." + +Her mom said, "You're welcome, Sara. I love you too. You and Lily are my treasures." +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toy bows and arrows. They pretended to be brave warriors who fought in a big war. They made forts out of pillows and blankets and shot at each other from behind them. + +One day, they decided to play in the backyard, where there was a big tree and a swing. Tom said, "I will be the king of the tree, and you will be the enemy who wants to take it from me." Sam said, "OK, but I will not give up easily. I will fight you with my bow and arrow." + +They ran to the tree and the swing and started to shoot at each other. They dodged and ducked and made loud noises. They had a lot of fun, but they also got tired and hungry. They decided to stop the war and have a snack. + +They put down their bows and arrows and walked to each other. Tom said, "You are a good warrior, Sam. You almost hit me many times." Sam said, "You are a good king, Tom. You defended your tree well." They smiled and hugged each other. + +They went inside the house, where their mom had made them sandwiches and juice. They ate and drank and told their mom about their war. Their mom said, "I'm glad you had fun, but I'm also glad you are humble and kind. War is not a good thing, and you should always respect and love each other." Tom and Sam nodded and said, "We do, mom. We do." +Ben and Lily were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were in a castle. They used a curtain to make a door for their castle. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, a new boy came to their house. His name was Sam. He wanted to play with them. He knocked on the curtain and said, "Hello, can I come in?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They did not know Sam. They did not want to share their castle. They said, "No, go away. This is our castle. You can't play with us." + +Sam felt sad. He did not have any friends. He said, "Please, can I play with you? I don't have any toys. I just moved here. I don't know anyone." + +Ben and Lily thought for a moment. They saw that Sam was lonely. They remembered that their mom told them to be polite and kind to others. They said, "OK, you can play with us. But you have to follow our rules. This is our castle. What is your name?" + +Sam smiled. He said, "My name is Sam. Thank you for letting me play with you. I will follow your rules. Can I be a knight in your castle?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, you can be a knight. We are the king and the queen. Come in, Sam. Welcome to our castle." + +They opened the curtain and let Sam in. They played together for a long time. They had a lot of fun. They became good friends. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play outside. They had a big tree in their yard with many leaves. They liked to jump in the leaves and make noises. One day, they saw some brown spots on the leaves. They wondered what they were. + +"Look, Tom, the leaves are sick," Sue said, pointing at the spots. + +"Maybe they need water," Tom said, running to get the hose. + +He sprayed the leaves with water, but they did not get better. They got worse. They turned yellow and red and fell to the ground. + +"What happened, Tom?" Sue asked, feeling sad. + +"I don't know, Sue. Maybe it's winter," Tom said, looking at the sky. + +They heard a voice from the house. It was Tom's mom. + +"Tom, Sue, come inside. It's getting cold. Winter is coming," she said. + +Tom and Sue ran to the house. They saw a big pot on the stove. It smelled good. + +"What is that, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"It's soup, Tom. I made it with the vegetables from our garden. They were fresh and tasty. But we had to use them before they rot," she said. + +Tom and Sue looked at each other. They remembered the leaves on the tree. They felt sorry for the leaves, but they were grateful for the soup. They sat down and ate the soup. It was warm and yummy. They thanked Tom's mom and smiled. They liked winter, too. +Sara and her mom went to the mall. They wanted to buy a gift for Sara's dad. He had a birthday soon. Sara liked the mall. It had many shops and toys and people. + +They saw a big shop with books. Sara loved books. She asked her mom, "Can we go in, please?" + +Mom said, "OK, but we have to hurry. We don't have much time." + +They went in the shop. Sara saw many books. She saw a book with a red car on the cover. She knew her dad liked cars. She said, "Mom, look! This book is for dad!" + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's a good idea, Sara. Let's buy it." + +They went to the counter. There was an old lady there. She had white hair and glasses. She looked at Sara and said, "Hello, little girl. What's your name?" + +Sara said, "I'm Sara. This book is for my dad. He has a birthday soon." + +The old lady said, "That's very nice of you, Sara. Your dad will be happy. How old is he?" + +Sara thought for a moment. She said, "He is very old. He is five." + +The old lady laughed. She said, "That's not very old, Sara. That's very young. You are a funny girl." + +Mom paid for the book. She said, "Thank you, ma'am. Have a nice day." + +The old lady said, "You're welcome. You too." + +Mom and Sara left the shop. They had to rush. They had to catch the bus. They ran to the bus stop. They made it just in time. They got on the bus. Sara held the book. She was happy. She said, "Mom, I can't wait to give this book to dad. He will love it." + +Mom said, "I'm sure he will, Sara. You are a good daughter. I love you." + +Sara said, "I love you too, mom." +Lila and Sam were hungry. They wanted to eat lunch. Mom said they could go to the park and have a picnic. She packed some food in a big bag. + +"Can we help you, Mom?" Lila asked. + +"Yes, you can. You can set the plates and cups on the blanket. And you can order what you want to eat. But you have to choose something healthy, okay?" Mom said. + +Lila and Sam nodded. They liked healthy food. They set the plates and cups on the blanket. They ordered some sandwiches, carrots, apples and water. Mom smiled and gave them the food. + +They ate and talked and laughed. They were happy. They did not see the big dog that was running towards them. The dog smelled the food. He wanted some too. He jumped on the blanket and grabbed a sandwich. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Sam shouted. + +"Go away, dog!" Lila yelled. + +Mom saw the dog. She ran to the blanket and shooed him away. She checked the food. Some of it was gone or dirty. + +"I'm sorry, kids. The dog ruined our picnic. We have to go home and make some more food," Mom said. + +Lila and Sam were sad. They liked the park and the picnic. But they were also brave and kind. + +"It's okay, Mom. We can share what we have left. And we can give some to the dog. Maybe he is hungry too," Lila said. + +Sam agreed. They gave some carrots and apples to the dog. The dog wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was sorry too. + +They packed the bag and went home. Mom hugged them and said they were good kids. She made them some more sandwiches and cookies. They ate and talked and laughed. They were happy again. +Lily liked to fold paper. She could make many shapes with paper. She made a hat, a boat, a star and a flower. She used pink paper for the flower. She liked pink. + +She gave the flower to her mom. "Look, mom, I made this for you!" she said. Mom smiled and hugged her. "Thank you, Lily, it's very pretty. You are very clever," she said. She put the flower on the table. + +Lily saw a big box on the floor. It was open. She was curious. She went to the box and looked inside. She saw many things. She saw books, toys, clothes and a teddy bear. She liked the teddy bear. It was brown and soft. She wanted to play with it. + +She reached for the teddy bear. But she did not see the cat. The cat was hiding in the box. The cat did not like Lily. The cat was mean. The cat jumped out of the box and scratched Lily's hand. Lily cried. It hurt. + +Mom heard Lily cry. She ran to her and saw the cat. She was angry. She shooed the cat away. She took Lily in her arms and kissed her hand. "I'm sorry, Lily, the cat was bad. Are you okay?" she asked. Lily nodded. She stopped crying. She saw the flower on the table. She smiled. She gave the flower to mom again. "I love you, mom," she said. Mom smiled and hugged her. "I love you too, Lily," she said. They were happy. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to draw with crayons on paper. Tim has a green eraser. He can erase his mistakes with it. Mia does not have an eraser. She wants to borrow Tim's eraser. + +"Tim, can I use your eraser?" Mia asks. + +"No, it is mine. You can not have it." Tim says. + +"Please, Tim. I need it. I made a big mess on my paper." Mia says. + +"No, no, no. You can not use my eraser. It is green. Green is my favorite color. You can not touch it." Tim says. + +Mia is sad. She does not like Tim's answer. She thinks Tim is not nice. She does not want to be his friend anymore. She looks around. She sees a red eraser on the table. It belongs to the teacher. She takes it. She erases her mess.

They like to play with toys in the park. One day, they see a big truck with many boxes. The truck is near a place with many shops. + +"Look, Lily, maybe there are toys in the boxes!" Tom says. + +"Let's go and see!" Lily says. + +They run to the truck and open a box. They find dolls and cars and balls. They are very happy. + +"Wow, these are nice toys! Can we take some?" Tom asks. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She knows that taking things that are not yours is bad. It is called stealing. She does not want to steal. + +"No, Tom, we can't. These toys belong to someone else. If we take them, they will be sad and angry. And we will be in trouble. Stealing is wrong." Lily says. + +"But I really want this car. It is red and shiny. And no one is looking. Please, Lily, just one toy." Tom says. + +He grabs the car and puts it in his pocket. Lily shakes her head. She does not like what Tom is doing. + +"Tom, give it back. It is not yours. Come on, let's go back to the park." Lily says. + +She turns around and walks away. Tom follows her, but he feels bad. He knows that Lily is right. He has done something bad. He has stolen a toy. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud voice. + +"Hey, you kids! Stop right there! What are you doing with my toys?" + +They look back and see a man. He is big and angry. He is the owner of the truck. He has seen them stealing his toys. + +Tom and Lily are scared. They run away, but the man runs after them. He catches Tom and grabs his arm. He pulls out the car from his pocket. + +"You little thief! How dare you steal my toy! I'll teach you a lesson!" The man says. + +He raises his hand to hit Tom. Tom cries. He is very sorry. He does not want to be hit. He does not want to be hurt. + +"Please, mister, don't hit me! I'm sorry! I won't do it again! Please, let me go!" Tom says. + +Lily sees what is happening. She feels sorry for Tom, but she also feels angry. She does not like the man. He is mean and scary. He wants to hurt Tom. + +She runs to the man and kicks him in the leg. The man yelps and lets go of Tom. Lily grabs Tom's hand and they run away. They run to the park. They are safe. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, I'm okay. Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You saved me." Tom says. + +He hugs Lily. He is glad that she is his friend. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I should not have stolen the toy. It was bad.

He has learned his lesson. He has said sorry. + +"No, Tom, it is not mine. It is his. We should give it back. It is the right thing to do."

Thank you for bringing back my toy. I appreciate it. I'm sorry, too. I was too harsh. I should not have tried to hit you. It was wrong. Please, don't be scared." The man says. + +He smiles. He gives them a pat on the head. + +"You are good kids. You have learned your lesson. You have said sorry. I forgive you. Now, go and play. And remember, don't steal. It is wrong. It hurts." The man says. + +Tom and Lily nod. They smile. They thank the man. They walk away. They are happy. They have done the right thing. They have said sorry. They have forgiven. They have learned. They have grown. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the living room. There is a big armchair in the living room. The armchair is soft and cozy. Tom and Lily like to sit on the armchair and read books. + +One day, Tom and Lily find a new book on the armchair. The book has a picture of a lion on the cover. The lion looks strong and brave. Tom and Lily want to read the book. They both reach for the book at the same time. + +"Give me the book!" Tom says. + +"No, I want the book!" Lily says. + +They pull the book from each other. The book tears in half. Tom and Lily are sad and angry. They start to cry. + +Mom hears them cry. She comes to the living room. She sees the torn book and the twins on the armchair. + +"What happened?" Mom asks. + +"Tom and Lily tore the book!" They both say. + +Mom is not happy. She picks up the book and looks at it. She sees the title of the book. The book is called "How to Share". + +Mom smiles a little. She has an idea. She sits on the armchair with Tom and Lily. She gives each of them a half of the book. + +"Look, this book is about how to share. Sharing is when you let someone else have something you like. Sharing is nice and kind. Sharing makes you and others happy. Do you want to share?" Mom says. + +Tom and Lily look at each other. They feel sorry for tearing the book. They nod their heads. + +"Yes, we want to share." They say. + +Mom hugs them. She reads the book with them. They take turns to look at the pictures and the words. They learn how to share. They are happy. They love the book and each other. +Sara and Tom were going to visit their grandma. They were very happy because they loved their grandma. She was very kind and made them yummy cookies. Sara and Tom helped their mom prepare for the trip. They packed their bags, their toys and their books. They also made a card for their grandma with crayons and stickers. + +"Are we ready to go, mom?" Sara asked. + +"Yes, we are. Let's get in the car and start our adventure," mom said. + +They got in the car and drove on the road. They saw many things on the way. They saw cows, trees, flowers and birds. They sang songs and played games. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they saw something that made them stop. It was a big sign that said: "Road closed. Detour ahead." + +"Oh no, what does that mean, mom?" Tom asked. + +"It means that we have to take another road to get to grandma's house. It might take longer, but don't worry, we will get there soon," mom said. + +She followed the sign and turned to a different road. It was a small and winding road. It went up and down the hills. It was very pretty, but also very bumpy. + +Sara and Tom felt a little sick. They closed their eyes and held their stomachs. + +"Mom, I don't like this road. It makes me feel bad," Sara said. + +"Me too, mom. Can we go back to the other road?" Tom said. + +"I'm sorry, my darlings. We can't go back. We have to keep going on this road. But look, there is something charming ahead. Do you see it?" mom said. + +Sara and Tom opened their eyes and looked. They saw a big rainbow in the sky. It had many colors and it was very bright. It looked like a bridge over the hills. + +"Wow, mom, look at the rainbow. It's so beautiful," Sara said. + +"It's amazing, mom. Can we go under it?" Tom said. + +"Of course, we can. Maybe we will find a pot of gold at the end," mom said. + +She smiled and drove under the rainbow. Sara and Tom felt better. They forgot about the bumpy road. They were happy again. + +They reached grandma's house soon after. Grandma was waiting for them with a big hug and a plate of cookies. They gave her the card and told her about their trip. They told her about the cows, the trees, the flowers, the birds, the songs, the games and the rainbow. + +Grandma listened and smiled. She said: "What a wonderful adventure you had. I'm so glad you are here. You are my pot of gold." +Ben loved pasta. He ate it every day for lunch and dinner. He liked to put cheese and sauce on it and make funny shapes with it. He did not like to share his pasta with anyone. + +One day, his mom made a big pot of pasta for the family. She put it on the table and told Ben and his sister Mia to help themselves. Ben ran to the table and took a big plate of pasta. He did not leave any for Mia. + +"Mia, where is your pasta?" mom asked. + +"Ben took it all," Mia said. She was sad and hungry. + +"Ben, that is not nice. You have to share with your sister. Give her some of your pasta," mom said. + +Ben did not want to share. He liked his pasta too much. He hid his plate under the table and said, "No, it is mine." + +Mom was angry. She said, "Ben, if you do not share, you will shrink. You will become very small and your pasta will be too big for you." + +Ben did not believe mom. He thought she was joking. He said, "No, I will not shrink. I will eat all my pasta and grow big and strong." + +He started to eat his pasta very fast. He did not see that mom had a magic wand. She waved it at Ben and said, "Shrink, shrink, shrink!" + +Ben felt a strange feeling. He looked at his plate and saw that his pasta was bigger than him. He was very scared. He tried to climb out of his plate, but he slipped and fell into the sauce. + +"Mia, help me!" he cried. + +Mia heard Ben's voice. She looked under the table and saw him in his plate. She was surprised and worried. She said, "Ben, what happened to you? You are so small!" + +Mom said, "Ben did not share his pasta, so he shrank. He learned his lesson. He has to be kind and generous to his sister and others." + +Mia felt sorry for Ben. She said, "Mom, can you make him big again? I will share my pasta with him. I do not want him to be small and scared." + +Mom smiled. She said, "Mia, you are a good sister. You are forgiving and caring. I will make Ben big again, but he has to promise to share his pasta from now on." + +She waved her wand again and said, "Grow, grow, grow!" + +Ben felt a strange feeling again. He looked at his plate and saw that his pasta was normal again. He was happy and relieved. He said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, Mia. I am sorry I did not share. I was selfish and greedy. I will share my pasta with you and everyone. I do not want to shrink again." + +Mom hugged Ben and Mia. She said, "I am proud of you, Ben. You learned your lesson. Sharing is caring. It makes you and others happy. And it does not make you shrink." + +They all laughed and ate their pasta together. Ben shared his cheese and sauce with Mia. He made funny shapes with his pasta and gave some to Mia. They had fun and enjoyed their meal. They were not ashamed anymore. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun. + +But then, a big wind comes. It blows the kite away. Anna and Ben try to catch it, but it is too fast. The kite flies over the trees and out of sight. + +"Oh no!" Anna says. "Our kite is gone!" + +Ben is sad. He likes the kite. He made it with his dad. He says, "I want my kite back!" + +Anna thinks. She wants to help Ben. She has an idea. She says, "Maybe we can make a new kite. We can use paper and sticks and string. It will be fun!" + +Ben nods. He likes Anna's idea. He says, "OK, let's try. But it will be difficult. We need to find the things we need." + +Anna and Ben look around. They see a trash can. They go to it. They find some paper and sticks and string. They are happy. They say, "We have the things we need!" + +They go to a bench. They start to make the new kite. They cut the paper. They tie the sticks. They attach the string. They work hard. + +Soon, they have a new kite. It is not like the old one. It is smaller and simpler. But it is colorful and pretty. They are proud. They say, "We made a new kite!" + +They go to the field. They throw the new kite in the air. The wind catches it. It flies high and bright. Anna and Ben smile. They hold the string. They say, "Our new kite is good!" + +They play with the new kite. They forget the old one. They are happy again. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the playroom. They wanted to build a big tower, but they had a problem. They did not have enough blocks of the same color. Lily had many white blocks, and Ben had many blue blocks, but they did not want to mix them. + +"I want a white tower!" Lily said. + +"I want a blue tower!" Ben said. + +They started to argue and push each other. They were not happy. + +Then they heard a tap on the door. It was their mom. She came in and saw the mess. + +"What is going on here?" she asked. + +"Lily and Ben, you need to solve your problem. You can't play like this. You have to share and cooperate." + +"But we don't have enough blocks!" Lily said. + +"Maybe you can use both colors and make a pattern. Like this." Mom showed them how to put a white block and a blue block together, and then repeat the same order. "See? It looks nice and colorful.

What a lovely surprise." + +The dust smiled and said, "You can make three wishes.

But he was too rough and ended up destroying the top anyway! + +The third kitten knew a better way. He lifted the top gently and blew on it instead of throwing. He kept the top spinning in beautiful circles without having to touch it. The kittens all smiled and laughed at the top - it was amazing! + +This story teaches us a simple lesson - no matter what we do, we must always use gentle hands. If we are too rough, we will destroy whatever it is we are playing with. +Once upon a time, there lived a little girl named Lily. She had a big white hook that she was very fond of.

Lily said. + +Her mother smiled and said, "Well, watch out that you don't use it to destroy anything!" As Lily shook her head and looked away, her mother's warning seemed like a far away thought. + +Time passed and Lily's hook stayed in her room, untouched for weeks. That all changed one day when Lily was playing in her room with her other toys. Suddenly, she remembered her mother's words and reached for the white hook.

That was amazing, you did so well!" Jack smiled and thought to himself, "I can do anything with a little bit of practice." +Once, there was a boy called Tom.

That way, he could enjoy a good adventure and stay safe. +One day, a little boy named Jack was walking in the park when he saw a big, green, celery plant.

Joe wanted to go in, but his mom said no. + +Joe: "Why not, Mommy?" + +Mom: "Because it says 'Keep Out'. That means we have to stay outside the gate." + +Joe: "But why?" + +Mom: "The gate is there so that people come in the park at regular times to keep it clean and safe. So, out of respect, we have to stay outside the gate." + +Joe: "Oh, ok." + +Joe and his mom then spent the day playing in the park outside the gate.

She found her brother, who was three years old. + +Alice said, "Come on, let's play Doctor. I'll be the Doctor today." Her brother nodded. + +Alice took out the thermometer and paused.

I wanted to find out what was at the end of the hallway." + +Her mum smiled and said, "Often times the most exciting things are around the corner from us. They just need to be found. But that doesn't mean you should sneak out in the dark. Always remember to never do that again, okay?" + +The girl nodded and the mum hugged her tight. As she was walking out, her mum reminded her, "Remember, never explore in the dark. Always find light!" + +The moral of this story is to always look for the light, even in dark times.

The important thing is to remember to always help others when they’re in need.†+ +When the rain stopped, the two children put away their umbrella and went back to playing.
