It did not like to be disturbed. It felt angry and threatened. + +"SSSSS!" it said, opening its mouth and showing its sharp teeth. + +Tom jumped back, surprised and frightened. He realized that the snake was not friendly and that it could bite him. + +"Mom, help!" he cried, running back to Mia and their mom. + +Mom heard Tom and saw the snake.

It tried to bite me," Tom said, still shaking. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. The snake was scared too. It did not want you to examine it. It wanted to be left alone. Some animals are like that.

I will just look at them from far away," Tom said, nodding. + +"That's a good idea, Tom. And what about you, Mia? How do you feel?" mom asked, turning to Mia. + +"I'm okay, mom. I don't like snakes.

It had a long trunk and big ears and a small tail. She hugged her toy elephant and said, "You are my best friend. Do you want to play with me?" + +The toy elephant did not answer, but Lily did not mind. She pretended it said yes. She took it to the window, where she could see the garden. The garden was open and green and full of flowers. She said, "Look, elephant, how pretty the garden is. Do you want to go outside and smell the flowers?" + +The toy elephant did not answer, but Lily did not mind. She pretended it said yes. She opened the door and ran outside with her toy elephant. She felt the sun on her face and the grass on her feet. She smelled the roses and the daisies and the lavender. She said, "This is fun, elephant. I'm glad you are with me." + +The toy elephant did not answer, but Lily did not mind. She pretended it was happy too. She smiled and laughed and played with her toy elephant in the open garden. She forgot about Tom and his cake. She was having a good time. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their toy planes. They made them soar in the air and pretended they were pilots. One day, they found a big cross in the park. It was made of wood and had ropes on it. Tom had an idea. + +"Let's tie our planes to the cross and make them fly higher!" he said. + +Lily nodded. They ran to the cross and tied their planes to the ropes. They pulled the ropes and watched their planes soar up and down. They were having fun. + +But then, a big boy came. He saw the planes and wanted them. He was strong and mean. He walked to the cross and grabbed the ropes. + +"Hey, these are mine now!" he said. + +Tom and Lily were scared and angry. They ran to the boy and tried to get their planes back. + +"No, they are ours! We made them soar!" they said. + +The boy laughed and pulled the ropes harder. He made the planes crash into the cross. Tom and Lily heard a loud snap. Their planes broke into pieces. They cried. + +The boy dropped the ropes and ran away. He did not care. Tom and Lily hugged each other. They were sad. They loved their planes. They picked up the pieces and walked home. They hoped they could make new planes someday. They wanted to soar again. +Lily was a little girl who liked to explore. One day, she saw a big hill near her home. She wanted to see what was on the other side. She asked her mom if she could go. + +"Be careful, Lily," her mom said. "Don't go too far. Come back soon." + +Lily nodded and ran to the hill. She climbed and climbed until she reached the top. She saw a lot of unknown things. She saw a lake, a forest, and a house. She was curious and wanted to see more. + +She ran down the hill and went to the house. She knocked on the door, but no one answered. She opened the door and went inside. She saw a lot of strange things. She saw a big chair, a shiny clock, and a fluffy cat. She wanted to touch them. + +"Hello, who are you?" a voice said. + +Lily turned around and saw a man. He looked angry and scared. He was the owner of the house. + +"I'm Lily," she said. "I wanted to see your house. It's very nice." + +"You shouldn't be here," the man said. "This is my home, not yours. You are a stranger. You could break my things or hurt my cat. Go away!" + +Lily felt sad and sorry. She realized she had made a mistake. She had gone too far and entered an unknown place. She had not been careful or respectful. + +"I'm sorry, sir," she said. "I didn't mean to bother you. I was just curious. I will go now." + +She ran out of the house and back to the hill. She climbed and climbed until she reached the top. She saw her home in the distance. She felt happy and relieved. She ran down the hill and back to her mom. + +"Mom, I'm back!" she said. "I'm sorry I was gone for so long. I went to the other side of the hill and saw a lot of unknown things. But I also met a man who was not happy to see me. He told me to go away. I learned that I should not go to places where I don't belong. I should be careful and respectful." + +Her mom hugged her and smiled. "I'm glad you're back, Lily," she said. "And I'm proud of you for learning a lesson. It's good to be curious and explore, but it's also good to be safe and polite. Next time, you can try to ask me or someone else before you go to an unknown place. That way, you can avoid trouble and make friends." + +Lily nodded and agreed. She was happy to be home and to have her mom. She decided to try to be more careful and respectful from now on. She also decided to try to share her stories and discoveries with her mom and her friends. She thought that would be more fun and more kind. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play near the harbor. They saw many big boats and small boats, and they liked to watch them go in and out of the water. Sometimes they saw people on the boats, and they waved to them. + +One day, they saw a very ugly boat. It was old and rusty, and it had holes and patches on it. It looked like it could not go very fast or far. Ben and Sam laughed at the ugly boat, and they said mean things about it. + +"Look at that ugly boat!" Ben said. "It is so dirty and broken. Who would want to ride on it?" + +"Yeah, it is the worst boat ever!" Sam said. "It should go away and never come back." + +They did not see that a man was sitting on the ugly boat. He heard what they said, and he felt very sad. He loved his boat, even though it was old and rusty. He had worked hard to fix it and make it work. He had many adventures and stories with his boat. He admired his boat, and he was proud of it. + +He decided to talk to Ben and Sam, and he said, "Hello, boys. Why are you laughing at my boat?" + +Ben and Sam were surprised, and they felt a little scared. They did not know what to say. + +The man said, "Do you know what my boat's name is? It is Hope. I named it Hope because it gives me hope. Hope to see new places, hope to meet new friends, hope to have fun. My boat may not look very nice, but it is very special to me. It is not fair to judge a boat by how it looks. You should admire a boat by how it makes you feel." + +Ben and Sam felt ashamed, and they realized they had been very rude and mean. They said they were sorry, and they asked the man to tell them more about his boat and his adventures. The man smiled, and he agreed. He told them many amazing and exciting stories, and Ben and Sam listened with wonder and respect. They learned a lot from the man and his boat, and they became friends. + +They learned that you should not laugh at or judge something or someone by how they look. You should admire them by how they are inside, and by what they can do and teach you. You should be kind and respectful to everyone, and you may find some unexpected treasures. +True is a dog. He likes to play with his ball. He runs and jumps and catches the ball. He is happy. + +One day, True sees a big truck. The truck has many boxes. True is curious. He wants to see what is in the boxes. He runs to the truck. + +The truck driver is angry. He says, "Go away, dog! This is my truck. You cannot touch my boxes. They are not for you." He throws a stick at True. The stick is rough. It hurts True. + +True is sad and scared. He runs away from the truck. He drops his ball. He does not want to play anymore. He wants to go home. + +True finds his home. He sees his friend, Sam. Sam is a boy. He loves True. He says, "Hi, True! Where is your ball? Do you want to play?" He sees that True is hurt. He says, "Oh, no! What happened, True? Who hurt you?" + +True barks. He tells Sam about the truck and the stick and the boxes. Sam is angry. He says, "That is not nice. That is mean. You are a good dog. You do not deserve to be hurt." He hugs True. He says, "I will pay for your ball. I will buy you a new one. A better one. A soft one. You are my best friend, True." + +True wags his tail. He licks Sam's face. He is happy. He has a friend. He says, "Thank you, Sam. You are my best friend, too." He forgets about the truck and the stick and the boxes. He only thinks about Sam and the ball. He wants to play. +Sara and Ben were playing with a ball in the park. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they kicked the ball too hard and it went far away. Then they had to look for it in the grass or behind a tree. + +One day, they kicked the ball so hard that it flew over the fence and landed in a big cake. The cake was a dessert for a party. It had cream and fruit and candles on it. Sara and Ben were very sorry. They did not mean to ruin the dessert. + +They climbed over the fence and ran to the cake. They tried to fix it with their hands, but it was too messy. They saw a man coming out of the house. He was holding a plate and a knife. He looked angry. He saw the cake and the ball and the children. He shouted at them. + +Sara and Ben were scared. They grabbed the ball and ran back to the fence. They climbed over it and ran to the park. They did not want to play with the ball anymore. They wanted to go home. + +They saw their mom waiting for them. She had a smile and a bag. She said she had a surprise for them. She opened the bag and took out two little desserts. They were cupcakes with frosting and sprinkles. Sara and Ben were happy. They said thank you to their mom and ate the cupcakes. They forgot about the cake and the man. They decided to play with something else next time. +Lily and Ben were playing in the dark. They liked to hide under the bed and whisper to each other. They pretended they were spies on a secret mission. They had a flashlight and a switch. The switch could make the flashlight turn on and off. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Lily whispered. "We have to find the enemy base and stop them." + +"Yes, Lily. I'm ready. Let's go." Ben whispered back. He held the flashlight and the switch. He turned the flashlight on and off to make signals. + +They crawled out from under the bed and tiptoed to the door. They opened it a little and peeked outside. The hallway was dark and quiet. They saw a shadow at the end of the hall. It looked like a big monster. + +"Look, Lily. There's the enemy. We have to sneak up on him and catch him." Ben whispered. + +"OK, Ben. Be careful. He might hear us." Lily whispered. + +They crept along the wall, holding their breath. They got closer and closer to the shadow. Ben was ready to press the switch and blind the monster with the flashlight. Lily was ready to jump on him and tie him up. + +They reached the end of the hall and saw the monster. It was not a monster. It was their dad. He was sleeping on the couch. He had a hard day at work and was very tired. + +Ben pressed the switch and the flashlight shone on their dad's face. He woke up with a start and saw his kids. He was very angry. + +"What are you doing here? Why are you playing with the flashlight? Don't you know it's past your bedtime?" He shouted. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the flashlight and the switch and ran back to their room. They hid under the bed and cried. They were not spies anymore. They were in big trouble. +Tom and Sue like to collect things. They collect rocks, leaves, shells and stickers. They have a big box for their collections. One day, they go to the park with Mom. They see a pond with ducks and geese. + +"Look, Sue, there are feathers on the ground!" Tom says. "Let's collect them!" + +"OK, Tom, feathers are pretty!" Sue says. They run to the pond and pick up the feathers. They are soft and colorful. They put them in their pockets. + +But the pond is cold. The water is cold and the wind is cold. Tom and Sue start to shiver. They feel their noses and ears get cold. They rub their hands together. + +"Brrr, I'm cold!" Tom says. + +"Me too!" Sue says. + +"Come on, kids, let's go home!" Mom says. "You can show me your feathers later. You are lucky you found so many!" + +Tom and Sue nod. They follow Mom to the car. They are happy with their feathers, but they are also happy to go home. They want to get warm and cozy. They think they are lucky to have a home and a mom who loves them. +Lily is a tall girl. She likes to play with her toys and her dog. She is happy when she can run and jump and laugh. + +But today, Lily is not happy. She is hungry and tired. She wants to eat dinner, but dinner is not ready. Mom is busy in the kitchen. Dad is busy on the phone. Lily is bored and sad. + +She goes to her room and looks for her toys. But she cannot find her favorite doll. She looks under the bed, in the closet, in the drawer. She cannot find her doll anywhere. She starts to cry. + +Mom hears Lily cry. She puts down the spoon and goes to her room. She sees Lily on the floor, with tears on her face. She hugs Lily and says, "What is wrong, my sweet girl?" + +Lily says, "I cannot find my doll. I want my doll. And I want dinner. I am hungry and tired." + +Mom says, "I am sorry, Lily. I know you are hungry and tired. But dinner will be ready soon. And I know where your doll is. She is in the laundry basket. I washed her because she was dirty. Do you want to see her?" + +Lily nods and wipes her eyes. Mom takes her to the laundry room and shows her the doll. She is clean and soft and smells good. Lily smiles and hugs her doll. She says, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best." + +Mom says, "You are welcome, Lily. You are the best, too. Now, let's go to the kitchen. Dinner is ready. We have chicken and rice and carrots. Your favorite. And Dad is waiting for us. He is done with the phone. He wants to hear about your day." + +Lily says, "Okay, Mom. Let's go. I am hungry. And I want to tell Dad about my day. I played with my toys and my dog. And I learned a new word. Tall. Like me." + +Mom says, "That is a good word, Lily. And you are right. You are tall. And smart. And beautiful. And I love you very much." + +Lily says, "I love you, too, Mom. And I love Dad. And I love my doll. And I love dinner. I am happy now." + +Mom and Lily hold hands and walk to the kitchen. They join Dad and sit at the table. They eat dinner and talk and laugh. They are a happy family. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Lily says. "You are our friend!" + +"Yes, you are!" Ben says. "We will come back tomorrow and play with you again!" + +But when they wake up the next day, the sun is shining very bright. The snow is melting everywhere. Lily and Ben run outside to see their snowman. But he is not there anymore. He is just a pile of water and snow. + +"Oh no!" Lily cries. "Mr. Snowman is gone!" + +"Where did he go?" Ben asks. "Why did he leave us?" + +They are very sad and frustrated. They do not want to play anymore. + +Mom sees them and comes outside. She hugs them and says, "I'm sorry, my loves. Sometimes things change and we can't stop them. But we can remember the good times we had with them." + +"Like when we made Mr. Snowman?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, like that," Mom says. "And we can also make new friends and have new fun. Do you want to try something different today?" + +"Like what?" Ben asks. + +Mom smiles and says, "How about some exercise? We can go for a walk, or ride our bikes, or play with a ball. Exercise is good for our bodies and our minds. It can make us happy and strong." + +Lily and Ben think about it. They still miss their snowman, but they also want to be happy and strong. They decide to give it a try. + +"Okay, Mom," Lily says. "Let's go for a walk." + +"Okay, Mom," Ben says. "Let's ride our bikes." + +They put on their coats and shoes and follow Mom outside. They see the sun and the sky and the trees. They feel the air and the wind and the warmth. They hear the birds and the cars and the laughter. They start to feel better. + +They still remember their snowman, but they also make new memories. They have fun with Mom and with each other. They learn that exercise can help them cope with frustration. They realize that change is not always bad. They are grateful for what they have. They are happy. +Lily was a happy girl who liked to rock on her chair. She rocked and rocked and sang a song. She liked to rock so much that she did not want to stop. + +One day, she saw a package on the table. It was big and red and had a bow. She wanted to see what was inside. She got off her chair and ran to the package. She did not see the cat on the floor. + +She tripped over the cat and fell down. The package fell down too and broke open. Inside was a doll that looked like Lily. It was a gift from her grandma. But the doll was broken too. Its head was off and its dress was torn. + +Lily cried and cried. She was sorry for breaking the doll and hurting the cat. The cat ran away and hid under the bed. Lily wished she had not left her chair. + +Her mom came and saw what happened. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, honey. We can fix the doll and the cat. But you have to be careful when you rock. You have to look where you are going. And you have to share your time with other things. Rocking is fun, but so is playing with your toys and your cat and your grandma. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I love you and the doll and the cat and grandma. Can I say sorry to them too?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, sweetie. Let's go and find them. And then we can rock together for a little while. But not too much, okay?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. You are the best." + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches the value of moderation, attention, and apology. Lily learns that rocking too much can cause problems, that she has to be aware of her surroundings, and that she has to say sorry when she makes a mistake. She also learns that she has other sources of joy besides rocking, such as her family, her toys, and her cat. +Lily and Max 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 honked and crashed their cars. + +One day, they found a new car in their toy box. It was shiny and red and had a button on the top. Lily pressed the button and the car made a loud noise. It started to move by itself. It went forward and backward and turned around. Lily and Max were very happy. They chased the car and laughed. + +But soon, the car became naughty. It did not listen to Lily and Max. It went where it wanted to go. It knocked over their blocks and books. It bumped into their legs and feet. It made a mess of their room. Lily and Max were not happy. They tried to catch the car and stop it. + +They had an idea. They remembered that the car could go backward. They said the word "reverse" together and pressed the button. The car made a loud noise again. It started to go backward. It went back to where it came from. It went back to the toy box. Lily and Max closed the lid and locked it. + +They were tired of the car. They decided to play with their other cars. They said they would not play with the new car again. Maybe they would give it to someone else. Maybe they would give it to their cousin Sam. He liked noisy and naughty things. He would like the car. Lily and Max smiled. They had fun yesterday. They hoped Sam would have fun too. +Sam liked to visit his grandpa, who lived far away. He had to go on a big jet to see him. The jet was loud and fast, and Sam could see the clouds and the land from the window. + +When he got to grandpa's house, he was very happy. Grandpa had a big yard with flowers and trees, and a dog named Spot. Spot was obedient and friendly, and he liked to play with Sam. They ran and chased and fetched a ball. + +One day, grandpa took Sam and Spot to a park. There were swings and slides and a sandbox. Sam had fun with the other kids, and Spot stayed close to grandpa. Sam saw a big pond with ducks and fish. He wanted to feed them, but grandpa said no. He said the ducks and fish had their own food, and they could get sick if they ate other things. + +Sam listened to grandpa, because he was obedient too. He did not feed the ducks and fish, but he watched them swim and quack. He liked to visit his grandpa, and he hoped to come back soon. +Lily and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, but Lily liked the zebras the best. They had black and white stripes and ran very fast. Lily thought they were graceful. + +"Mom, can I ask the zebra a question?" Lily said. + +"What do you want to ask, sweetie?" Mom said. + +"I want to ask why they have stripes. Are they for hiding or for showing?" Lily said. + +Mom smiled and said, "That's a good question, Lily. Why don't you try and ask the zebra yourself?" + +Lily walked closer to the fence and looked at the zebra. She said, "Hello, zebra. I like your stripes. Why do you have them?" + +The zebra looked at Lily and made a loud noise. Lily did not understand what the zebra said, but she thought it sounded friendly. + +"Maybe the zebra said thank you, or maybe it said that the stripes help them stay cool in the sun, or maybe it said that the stripes make them look pretty," Mom said. + +Lily nodded and said, "I think the zebra likes me. Can I give it a carrot?" + +Mom said, "Sure, you can. But be careful and don't touch the fence. The zebra might bite your fingers." + +Lily took a carrot from Mom's bag and held it out to the zebra. The zebra stretched its neck and took the carrot from Lily's hand. It chewed the carrot and made another noise. + +Lily giggled and said, "The zebra likes the carrot. Thank you, zebra. You are very nice and graceful." + +The zebra nodded and licked Lily's hand. Lily felt happy and gave the zebra a wave. She said, "Bye, zebra. I hope to see you again." + +The end. +Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play together in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have a lot of fun and exercise. + +One day, they see a big red ball in a shop window. They want to buy the ball and play with it in the park. They ask their mom if they can have the ball. + +"Mom, can we buy the ball, please?" they say. + +Mom looks at the ball and smiles. She says, "The ball is very nice, but it is also very expensive. We don't have enough money to buy the ball today. Maybe another day, okay?" + +Tom and Lily are sad. They really want the ball. They say, "Okay, mom. Thank you." + +They go back to the park and play with their old toys. They try to have fun, but they still think about the ball. + +After a while, they get very tired and sleepy. They yawn and rub their eyes. They say, "Mom, we are sleepy. Can we go home and take a nap?" + +Mom nods and says, "Yes, of course. You have played and exercised a lot today. You need some rest. Come on, let's go home." + +Tom and Lily hold mom's hand and walk home. They are still sad about the ball, but they are also happy to be with mom. They hope that one day, they can buy the ball and play with it in the park. +Lia and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to dig and find things in the dirt. Sometimes they find worms, sometimes they find stones, sometimes they find nothing. + +"Look, Lia, I found a shiny thing!" Ben says, holding up a small piece of metal. "What is it?" + +Lia takes the shiny thing and looks at it. She does not know what it is. It is not a stone, it is not a worm, it is not a toy. It is something unknown. + +"Maybe it is a mineral," Lia says. "A mineral is something that comes from the ground and has different colors and shapes. Mama told me that." + +"Wow, a mineral! Can we find more?" Ben asks, excited. + +"Let's search!" Lia says, and they start to dig again, hoping to find more shiny things. + +They dig and dig, and find more unknown minerals. Some are silver, some are gold, some are red, some are blue. They make a pile of them and admire them. + +"These are so pretty!" Lia says. "We are lucky to find them!" + +"Yes, we are!" Ben says. "Do you think we can keep them?" + +"I don't know," Lia says. "Maybe we should ask Mama first. Maybe they belong to someone else." + +"Okay, let's go and ask Mama," Ben says. "But first, let's hide them under this bush, so no one else can take them." + +They hide their minerals under a bush and run to the house, where Mama is waiting for them. They tell her about their discovery and ask her if they can keep them. + +Mama smiles and hugs them. She is proud of their curiosity and creativity. She tells them that they can keep some of the minerals, but they should also share some with their friends and neighbors. She also tells them that the minerals are not really minerals, but bottle caps. Someone must have thrown them away in the garden. + +Lia and Ben are surprised, but they don't mind. They still think the bottle caps are pretty and fun. They thank Mama and go back to the garden, where they search for more treasures. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big ladder that reached the sky. They wanted to climb it and see what was up there. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "Maybe we can touch the clouds!" + +"OK, Tom!" Lily said. "But be careful, it's very high!" + +They climbed the ladder, step by step, until they reached the top. They saw a lot of white and fluffy clouds. They looked like cotton candy. + +"Wow, they are so soft!" Tom said. He jumped on a cloud and bounced up and down. + +"Me too!" Lily said. She followed Tom and jumped on another cloud. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, the clouds started to move. They were carried away by the wind. Tom and Lily got scared. They could not see the ladder anymore. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. "We are lost!" + +They held each other and hoped someone would hear them. + +Down below, their mom and dad heard their cries. They looked up and saw their children on the clouds. They were very worried. + +"Tom! Lily! Stay calm!" their mom shouted. "We are coming to get you!" + +They called the firemen, who came with a big truck and a long hose. They sprayed water on the clouds, making them wet and heavy. The clouds fell down, bringing Tom and Lily with them. + +The firemen caught them in a big net. They were safe. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Tom and Lily said to the firemen. They hugged their mom and dad. They were very grateful. + +They learned a lesson that day. They should not climb things that are too high and dangerous. They should listen to their mom and dad. They should be happy with what they have. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but they both wanted the same red car. Tom grabbed the car from Lily and said, "This is mine!" + +Lily was angry and sad. She tried to get the car back, but Tom was stronger. She cried and said, "No, it is mine! Give it back!" + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Tom holding the car and Lily crying. She was not happy. She said, "Tom, you are being mean to your sister. You have to share your toys. Give the car to Lily, or I will punish you." + +Tom did not want to be punished. He was scared and sorry. He said, "I am sorry, mom. I am sorry, Lily. Here, you can have the car." He gave the car to Lily and hugged her. + +Lily stopped crying and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Tom. I am sorry, too. Do you want to play with me?" She offered him another toy. + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, I do. You are a good sister." They played together nicely. + +Their mom was proud and happy. She said, "That's better. I love you both. Now, let's have some cookies." She gave them each a cookie and a glass of milk. + +They ate their cookies and drank their milk. They said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best." They had no more fights that day. They had fun and learned to share. They were a happy family. +Lily loved to dance. She danced in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She danced to any sound she heard: the birds, the cars, the wind. She felt the rhythm in her feet and in her heart. + +One day, she saw a boy playing a drum in the park. He was making a loud and fast sound with his hands. Lily was curious and went closer. She liked the sound of the drum. She wanted to dance to it. + +"Hello, I am Lily. Can I dance to your drum?" she asked the boy. + +"Hello, I am Sam. Sure, you can dance to my drum. You can even join me and play the drum too. I have another one here." he said and gave her a smaller drum. + +Lily was happy. She took the drum and followed Sam's sound. They made a great team. They played and danced together. They made an incredible noise. They had so much fun. They included everyone who wanted to join them. Soon, they had a big crowd of people playing and dancing with them. They made the park a happy place. +Lila and Ben are playing in the backyard. They see a big pile of lumber near the fence. Lila wants to build a house with the lumber. Ben wants to make a boat. + +"Let's build a house," Lila says. "We can pretend we live there." + +"No, let's make a boat," Ben says. "We can sail on the water." + +They start to argue. They pull and push the lumber. They make a lot of noise. + +Dad hears them from the kitchen. He comes outside. He sees the mess they made. He is not happy. + +"What are you doing?" Dad asks. "This lumber is not for playing. It is for fixing the fence. You have to be careful. You can get hurt. And you have to be clean. You are all dirty." + +Lila and Ben feel sorry. They did not know the lumber was for the fence. They did not mean to make a mess. + +"We are sorry, Dad," they say. "We just wanted to have fun." + +Dad smiles. He is not angry anymore. He understands they were using their imagination. + +"It's okay," Dad says. "But you have to put the lumber back where it was. And you have to wash your hands and faces. Then you can have a snack." + +Lila and Ben nod. They help Dad to move the lumber. They go inside to get clean. They are happy again. They learned something new. They learned what lumber is for. And they learned to respect Dad's work. +Lily and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and look for shells. They saw some shiny things in the water. They were jellyfish. Lily wanted to touch them. She said, "Look, Ben, they are pretty and soft. Let's go and see them." + +Ben was scared. He said, "No, Lily, they are not pretty and soft. They are scary and stingy. They can hurt you. We should stay away from them." + +Lily did not listen. She ran to the water and reached for a jellyfish. She felt a sharp pain in her hand. She cried out loud. Ben ran to her and saw her hand was red and swollen. He said, "Lily, you are hurt. We need to tell Mom and Dad. They can help you." + +They returned to their parents, who were sitting under an umbrella. They saw Lily's hand and took her to a lifeguard. The lifeguard put some cream on her hand and gave her a bandage. He said, "You are brave, Lily, but you should not touch jellyfish. They have stingers that can make you sick. Next time, be careful and listen to your brother. He knows how to keep you safe." + +Lily said, "I'm sorry, Ben. You were right. Jellyfish are scary and stingy. I will not touch them again. Thank you for helping me." Ben said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you. Let's go and play some more, but away from the jellyfish." They hugged and went to play some more. They learned to respect the sea and its creatures. +Ben and Lily liked to bounce on the big bed. They jumped up and down and laughed. They bounced so high that they could touch the ceiling. They bounced so hard that they made the bed shake. + +But one day, they bounced too much. The bed broke with a loud noise. The mattress fell to the floor. The pillows and blankets flew everywhere. Ben and Lily stopped bouncing. They were scared. + +"Uh-oh," Ben said. "We broke the bed. Mommy will be mad." + +"Maybe we can fix it," Lily said. "Let's search for the pieces." + +They searched under the bed, in the closet, and in the drawers. They found some screws, some nails, and some wood. They tried to put the bed back together. But they did not know how. The bed looked worse than before. + +They heard Mommy coming up the stairs. They hid under the mattress. They hoped Mommy would not see the broken bed. + +But Mommy saw it. She was very angry. She yelled at Ben and Lily. She said they were naughty and careless. She said they had to pay for a new bed. She said they had to sleep on the floor. She said they had to go to bed early without a story. + +Ben and Lily felt very sad. They cried. They wished they had not bounced on the bed. They wished they had listened to Mommy. They were not proud of what they had done. They said they were sorry. But Mommy did not forgive them. She left them alone in the dark. +Sam and Mia were playing with their toy trucks in the garden. They liked to load the trucks with dirt and drive them around. They made a big pile of dirt in the middle of the garden. They called it their pitch. + +"Look at our pitch!" Sam said. "It is so big and high!" + +"Yes, it is!" Mia said. "Let's make it bigger!" + +They loaded more dirt on their trucks and added it to the pitch. They were having fun. + +But then, Tom came. Tom was their big brother. He was not nice. He saw their pitch and he got angry. + +"What are you doing?" Tom shouted. "You are making a mess! This is my garden!" + +He kicked their pitch and made it fall down. He threw their trucks away. He laughed. + +Sam and Mia were sad and scared. They cried. + +"Stop it, Tom!" Sam said. "You are mean! This is our game!" + +"No, it is not!" Tom said. "This is my garden! Go away!" + +He pushed them. + +But then, Mom came. Mom saw what Tom did. She was not happy. She had a pale face. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Mom asked. "Why are you hurting your brother and sister? Why are you ruining their game?" + +Tom did not answer. He looked down. + +Mom took Sam and Mia and hugged them. She gave them their trucks back. She helped them fix their pitch. + +"I'm sorry, Sam and Mia," Mom said. "Tom was wrong. You can play here. It is your garden too." + +"Thank you, Mom," Sam and Mia said. "We love you." + +They smiled. + +Mom looked at Tom. She was still not happy. + +"Tom, you need to say sorry too," Mom said. "And you need to help them clean up the mess." + +Tom nodded. He felt bad. + +"I'm sorry, Sam and Mia," Tom said. "I was mean. Can I play with you?" + +Sam and Mia looked at him. They thought for a moment. + +"Okay," Sam said. "But you have to be nice." + +"Okay," Tom said. "I will be nice." + +They all played together. They loaded their trucks with dirt and made a new pitch. They had fun. +Sara and Ben were going to perform a trick for their family. They had a chain that they could make disappear. They practiced a lot in their room. + +But when it was time to go to the living room, Sara felt nervous. She did not want to make a mistake. She held Ben's hand and said, "What if we mess up?" + +Ben smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sara. We can do it. We are a great team. Just remember the magic word." + +They walked to the living room, where their parents and grandparents were waiting. They bowed and said, "Hello, we are Sara and Ben, the amazing magicians. We will show you a wonderful trick with this chain." + +They held up the chain and showed it to everyone. It was shiny and long. Then they put it in a box and closed it. They said, "Now we will make the chain disappear. All we need is your help. Please say the magic word with us. Ready? One, two, three..." + +They shouted, "Abracadabra!" and opened the box. The chain was gone! Everyone clapped and cheered. Sara and Ben smiled and hugged. They did it! They were not nervous anymore. They were happy and proud. They took a bow and said, "Thank you, thank you. That was our trick. We hope you liked it." +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and blocks. But sometimes they fight. One day, Tim wants to play with Sam's red car. He asks Sam, "Can I have your red car?" + +Sam says, "No, it is mine. You have your blue car." He holds the red car tight. + +Tim is angry. He says, "You are mean. I want the red car." He tries to grab the red car from Sam. + +Sam pushes Tim away. He says, "Go away. Leave me alone." He runs to his room with the red car. He shuts the door and locks it. + +Tim follows Sam. He bangs on the door. He says, "Open the door. Give me the red car." He kicks the door. + +Sam says, "No, go away. The red car is mine." He hides the red car under his bed. + +Tim and Sam are both hungry. They hear their mom call, "Boys, it is time for lunch. Come to the kitchen." + +Tim says, "Sam, open the door. Mom is calling. We have to eat." + +Sam says, "No, I am not hungry. I have the red car." + +Tim says, "Please, Sam, open the door. I am sorry. I will not take your red car. I will share my blue car with you." + +Sam thinks for a moment. He says, "Okay, Tim, I will open the door. I am sorry too. I will share my red car with you." + +Sam unlocks the door and opens it. He gives Tim the red car. Tim gives Sam the blue car. They hug and say, "I love you, brother." + +They go to the kitchen and eat their lunch. They are happy. They play with their cars and blocks together. They do not fight. +Ben and Mia like to play with cards. The cards have different symbols on them, like stars, hearts, and circles. They play a game where they try to find two cards that match. They take turns to flip over one card and then another. If the cards have the same symbol, they keep them. If not, they put them back. + +One day, Ben and Mia are playing with cards in their room. Ben flips over a card with a star. He wants to find another star, but he does not see one.

He knows he is cheating. + +Mia sees what Ben is doing. She is angry. She says, "Ben, you are cheating! You cannot look at two cards at the same time. That is not fair. You have to flip over the card with the heart. Give me the card with the star." + +Ben does not want to give Mia the card. He says, "No, I am not cheating. I did not see the card with the heart. You are lying. This is my card. Go away." + +Mia and Ben start to fight. They pull and tug at the card with the star. They tear it in half. They both cry. They hear their mom coming. They know they are in trouble. They have ruined the game and the card. They have no more cards that match. They have no more fun. They have a bad ending. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They make loud sounds with their mouths as they zoom and crash their cars on the carpet. Lily likes to reverse her car and make it go backwards. Ben likes to make his car jump over the sofa. + +"Look, Lily, I can make my car fly!" Ben says, as he throws his car in the air. + +"Wow, Ben, that's cool!" Lily says, as she watches his car land on the coffee table. + +But then, they hear a voice from the kitchen. It is Mom, and she sounds angry. + +"Lily and Ben, what are you doing? Come here right now!" Mom says. + +Lily and Ben stop playing and look at each other. They see that the living room is very messy. There are toy cars, books, pillows and crayons everywhere. + +"Oh no, we made a big mess!" Lily says. + +"Maybe we can hide under the sofa," Ben says. + +But it is too late. Mom comes into the living room and sees the mess. She is not happy. + +"Lily and Ben, you have to clean up this mess right now! And no more throwing your cars in the air! You could break something or hurt someone!" Mom says. + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to Mom and start to pick up their toys. + +"Next time, we will play more quietly and carefully," Lily says. + +"Yes, and we will reverse our cars on the floor, not on the table," Ben says. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She is glad that they are sorry and that they want to do better. + +"Thank you, Lily and Ben. I love you, but please be more careful when you play," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben love Mom too. They finish cleaning up the living room and then go to play in their room. They still make sounds with their mouths, but they are not so loud. They have fun with their toy cars, but they do not throw them in the air. They reverse them on the floor, and sometimes on the bed. They are happy and so is Mom. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play at school. One day, they have a new teacher. Her name is Miss Lee. She is very attractive.

They start to draw. Anna draws a flower. Ben draws a car. + +After a while, Ben wants to see what Anna is drawing. He leans over and tries to peek at her paper. Anna sees him and says, "No, Ben! Don't peek! It's a surprise!" + +Ben says, "Sorry, Anna. I just want to see your picture. It looks very pretty." + +Anna says, "Thank you, Ben. But you have to wait until I finish. Then I will show you. And you can show me your picture too." + +Ben says, "OK, Anna. I will wait. But can you give me a hint? What color is your flower?" + +Anna says, "It's a secret. But I will tell you this. It's the same color as Miss Lee's dress." + +Ben looks at Miss Lee. She is wearing a yellow dress. He smiles and says, "I think I know what color your flower is, Anna. It's yellow!" + +Anna smiles and says, "You are very smart, Ben. But don't tell anyone. It's our secret." + +They keep drawing and wait for Miss Lee to come and see their pictures. They are happy and proud of their work. They think Miss Lee is the best teacher ever. +Tom and Lily were youth who liked to play with toys. They had many toys in their room, but they did not take care of them. They would throw them, hit them, and break them. Their mom and dad were sad and angry when they saw the broken toys. + +One day, Tom and Lily found a new toy in the store. It was a big and shiny robot that could talk and move. They begged their mom and dad to buy it for them. Their mom and dad said yes, but they warned them to be gentle and careful with the robot. They said, "This robot is not cheap and not easy to fix. If you break it, you will not have another one. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, we understand. We will be gentle and careful. We will not break it." They took the robot home and played with it in their room. They liked the robot very much. It was fun and smart. It could say many things and do many things. + +But soon, Tom and Lily got bored and wanted to try something new. They wondered what would happen if they threw the robot, hit it, or opened it. They thought it would be more fun and exciting. They forgot what their mom and dad said. They did not listen to the robot when it said, "Please do not hurt me. I am your friend. I want to be safe." + +They threw the robot, hit it, and opened it. They broke the robot. The robot stopped talking and moving. It was silent and still. Tom and Lily were shocked and scared. They tried to fix the robot, but they could not. They had broken it too much. They cried and cried. They wished they had been gentle and careful. They wished they had not broken the robot. + +Their mom and dad came to their room and saw the broken robot. They were very sad and angry. They said, "What have you done? You have broken the robot. You have wasted our money and your toy. You have hurt your friend. You have been bad and foolish. You have not learned your lesson. You have to face the consequences. You will not have any toys for a long time. You will have to work hard and save money to buy a new robot. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, we understand. We are sorry. We have been bad and foolish. We have not learned our lesson. We have to face the consequences. We will work hard and save money to buy a new robot. We will be gentle and careful.

They wanted to explore the forest and see what they could find. + +"Let's go this way," Tom said, pointing to a path that looked regular and easy. "It looks safe and fun." + +"No, let's go that way," Sam said, pointing to a path that looked strange and hard. "It looks exciting and different." + +They could not agree on which path to pick, so they decided to go their own ways. Tom went on the regular path and Sam went on the strange path. + +Tom had a good time on the regular path. He saw many birds, flowers, and bugs. He heard the wind and the water.

He felt scared and hurt. + +After a while, Tom and Sam met again at the end of the forest. Tom was smiling and Sam was crying. + +"What happened to you?" Tom asked Sam. + +"I picked the wrong path," Sam said. "It was too hard and scary. I wish I had gone with you." + +"I'm sorry, Sam," Tom said. "Next time, let's pick the same path. It's more fun and safe to play together." + +Sam nodded and hugged Tom. They learned that it's better to be friends and agree on things than to be alone and disagree on things. They also learned that sometimes the regular path is the best path. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big box under a tree. They ran to the box and opened it. Inside the box, they found many things. They found hats, scarves, shoes, and sunglasses. + +"Wow, look at all these things!" Lily said.

She wore a red hat, a blue scarf, a yellow dress, and pink sunglasses. + +"Hmm, let me guess," Tom said. "You are a ... a ... a clown!" + +Lily giggled. "Yes, you are right! I am a clown! Now it's my turn." + +Lily looked at Tom. He wore a black hat, a green scarf, a brown coat, and purple sunglasses. + +"Let me guess," Lily said. "You are a ... a ... a spy!" + +Tom nodded. "Yes, you are right! I am a spy! This is fun!" + +They played the game for a while. They guessed each other's roles. They were a doctor, a pirate, a princess, and a cowboy. + +But they did not know that the box belonged to someone else. They did not know that the someone else was watching them. They did not know that the someone else was very angry. + +The someone else was a thief. He had stolen the things from a store. He had hidden the box under the tree. He had gone to get a car.

Sara says. + +"Yes, Sara, it is. But it needs something more," Ben says. + +"What does it need, Ben?" Sara asks. + +"It needs a light. A light to make it shine and sparkle," Ben says. + +"A light? How can we make a light?" Sara wonders. + +Ben thinks for a moment. Then he has an idea. He runs to his room and comes back with a flashlight. He turns it on and puts it inside the castle. + +"Look, Sara, now our castle has a light!" Ben says. + +Sara looks at the castle. She sees the light coming out of the windows and doors.

She wanted to touch everything. She held her mom's hand and followed her. She did not see the man who saw her bag. + +The man was bad. He liked to take things that were not his. He saw Lily's bag and thought, "What a nice bag. Maybe there is something good inside." He waited for Lily and her mom to look away. Then he reached for the bag. + +But Anna was not a normal doll. She was a smart doll. She could talk and move and think. She reminded Lily of her best friend. She saw the man and did not like him. She said, "Hey, stop! That is my home. Leave me alone!" She kicked the man's hand with her tiny foot. + +The man was surprised. He dropped the bag and ran away. Lily and her mom heard Anna's voice. They turned and saw the bag on the floor.

Sometimes it makes shapes like animals or clouds. Tom and Sue laugh and try to guess what they are. Grandma smiles and tells them stories. + +They reach a hill and see a bright light in the sky. It is the sun coming out of the mist. It makes the mist sparkle and glow. Grandma says it is a sign of a good day. She says they will find something special on the other side of the hill. + +They run down the hill and see a pond. It is clear and blue and has many ducks and frogs.

They are almost at the top. + +But then they see something bad. There is a lot of waste on the hill. There are cans and bottles and bags and papers. They are dirty and smelly. They make the hill ugly. + +"Who did this?" Tom asks. "Why did they throw their waste here?" + +"I don't know," Sam says. "But it is not good. It can hurt the plants and animals. It can hurt us too." + +They are sad and angry. They do not want to play on the hill anymore. They want to go down. + +"Let's go back," Tom says. "This is not a nice place to play." + +"OK," Sam says. "But what can we do? How can we make the hill clean again?" + +They think for a moment. Then they have an idea. + +"Let's tell our parents," Tom says. "Maybe they can help us. Maybe they can talk to the people who make the waste. Maybe they can teach them to be more careful." + +"Good idea," Sam says. "Let's do that. Let's run and tell them." + +They run down the hill. They are still strong and brave. But they are also smart and kind. They want to make the park a better place for everyone. +Tommy liked to collect stickers of his favorite cartoon.

The spider came out. It wrapped the fly in silk. + +Ben felt sad. He wanted to join the fly. But he could not. The spider had the fly. Ben learned a lesson. He learned that some places are not good to play. He learned that some things are not good to join. He went back to his toys. He hoped to find a better friend. +Anna and Ben like to draw with crayons. They have many colors of crayons and many papers to draw on. They draw animals, flowers, cars, and houses. They have fun making pictures. + +But sometimes they draw too much and the papers fall on the floor. Then the room is messy. Mom does not like a messy room. She tells Anna and Ben to pick up the papers and put them in a box. She says they can draw more later. + +Anna and Ben do not want to stop drawing. They want to keep making pictures. They do not want to pick up the papers. They say no to Mom. They are angry. + +Mom is angry too. She says they have to listen to her. She says they have to be good. She says they have to help her. She is sad. + +Anna and Ben see that Mom is sad. They do not want to make Mom sad. They love Mom. They say sorry to Mom. They pick up the papers and put them in a box. They give Mom a hug. They say they will be good. + +Mom is happy. She hugs Anna and Ben. She says she loves them. She says they can draw more later. She says they can make a picture for her. She smiles. + +Anna and Ben smile too. They are happy. They love Mom. They want to make a picture for her. They take some papers and crayons. They draw a big heart. They write Mom on it. They give it to Mom. + +Mom is very happy. She says it is a beautiful picture. She says it is the best picture ever. She says thank you. She gives Anna and Ben another hug. She says they are the best children ever. She is proud. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. They did not disturb Mom, who was busy in the kitchen. Mom was making a cake for Dad's birthday. She wanted to surprise him when he came home from work. + +Mom finished the cake and put it on a plate. She looked for something to wrap it with. She found some paper and a ribbon in a drawer. She was very careful not to tear the paper or make a mess. She wanted the cake to look nice and modest. She did not want Dad to guess what was inside. + +She wrapped the cake and put it on the table. She wrote a card and stuck it on the wrap. She smiled and went to check on Sara and Ben. They were still playing happily. She hugged them and told them to be quiet for a little while. She said Dad would be home soon and they would have a party. + +Sara and Ben nodded and smiled. They loved parties. They loved cake. They loved Mom and Dad. They waited for the door to open and for Dad to come in. They did not disturb the wrap on the table. They wanted to see Dad's face when he saw the surprise. They knew he would be very happy. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, Tom gets an invitation. It is from Ben, a boy who lives in a big house. Ben is rich. He has many toys and a big cake for his birthday. + +Tom is happy. He shows Anna the invitation. He says, "Look, Anna, Ben invites me to his birthday. He says there will be games and prizes. Do you want to come with me?" + +Anna is sad. She does not have an invitation. She says, "No, Tom, I cannot come. Ben does not like me. He says I am poor and dirty. He says I cannot play with his toys. He is mean." + +Tom feels sorry for Anna. He says, "Anna, you are my friend. You are not poor and dirty. You are kind and smart. You can play with my toys. I will share with you. Do you know what? I will not go to Ben's birthday. I will stay with you. We can have our own fun in the park." + +Anna smiles. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. You make me happy. You know what? I have a surprise for you. I have a seed. I planted it in a pot. It will grow into a flower. It is for you. You can keep it in your room. It will make your room beautiful." + +Tom is surprised. He says, "Wow, Anna, that is a nice gift. I love flowers. They are colorful and smell good. Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. You make me happy too." They hug and run to the park. They play and laugh. They are happy. +Sam and Lily were playing with their toy trucks in the yard. They liked to load the trucks with dirt, rocks and leaves and drive them around. They pretended they were workers on a big construction site. + +But then the wind started to blow hard and the sky turned gray. Sam and Lily felt cold and shivered. They heard thunder and saw lightning. They were scared and ran inside the house. + +"Mom, mom, it's cold and weird outside!" Lily cried as she hugged her mom. + +"I know, sweetie, it's a storm. Don't worry, it will pass soon. Come on, let's have some hot chocolate and cookies in the kitchen," mom said and smiled. + +Sam and Lily followed their mom and felt better. They drank their hot chocolate and ate their cookies. They watched the rain and the storm from the window. They saw their toy trucks still in the yard, loaded with dirt, rocks and leaves. + +"Can we go back and play with our trucks when the storm is over?" Sam asked. + +"Of course, honey, but only if you wear your coats and boots. It will be wet and muddy outside," mom said. + +"Okay, mom, we will. Thank you for the hot chocolate and cookies. They were yummy," Lily said. + +"You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you're safe and warm inside," mom said and hugged them. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and sing. They had a ball and a doll and a car. They were having fun. + +Then Lily said, "I need to go to the toilet. Can you come with me, Ben?" + +Ben said, "OK, Lily. Let's go to the toilet. But we have to be quick. I don't want to miss the game." + +They ran to the house and found the toilet. Lily went inside and closed the door. Ben waited outside. He heard Lily say, "Oops!" + +Ben asked, "What happened, Lily?" + +Lily said, "I dropped the doll in the toilet. It is wet and dirty. What can I do?" + +Ben said, "Don't worry, Lily. I have an idea. Let me help you." + +Ben opened the door and saw the doll in the toilet. He reached his hand and took it out. He shook it and wiped it with a towel. He said, "There, Lily. The doll is OK. It is not wet and dirty anymore. It is brilliant." + +Lily was happy. She hugged the doll and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are brilliant, too. You are a good friend." + +Ben smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good friend, too. Now let's go back to the garden and play." + +They ran back to the garden and played. They clapped their hands and laughed. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the garden, where there were many flowers. Lily's favorite flower was the sunflower. It was big and yellow and smiled at the sky. + +One day, they found a sunflower that was different. It had two heads, one on top of the other. Lily and Ben were amazed. They had never seen a sunflower like that. They decided to call it Sunny and Benny. + +"Wow, Sunny and Benny are so rare!" Lily said. "They are special, like us!" + +"Yes, they are!" Ben agreed. "We should take care of them and water them every day!" + +Lily and Ben did that. They watered Sunny and Benny and talked to them. They watched them grow taller and brighter. They were happy. + +But one day, when they came to the garden, they saw something sad. Sunny and Benny had wilted. Their petals were brown and dry. Their heads were drooping. + +"Oh no, Sunny and Benny are gone!" Lily cried. "Why did they end?" + +Ben hugged Lily and tried to comfort her. "Maybe they were too rare to stay for long," he said. "Maybe they had to go back to the sky, where they came from." + +Lily sniffed and looked up. She saw a cloud that looked like a sunflower. She smiled a little. + +"Maybe you are right, Ben," she said. "Maybe they are still smiling at us, from up there." + +Lily and Ben picked some of the petals and made a necklace. They wore it as a memory of Sunny and Benny. They still missed them, but they were glad they had met them. They were still best friends. +Sara and Ben are playing with snow in the park. They make a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They are very happy. + +"Look, our snowman is so pretty!" Sara says. + +"Yes, he is. He is our friend," Ben says. + +But then the sun comes out and it gets warm. The snow starts to melt. The snowman gets smaller and smaller. His hat falls off. His scarf slides down. His carrot nose drops to the ground. + +"Oh no, our snowman is melting!" Sara cries. + +"Don't cry, Sara. We can make another one another day," Ben says. + +But Sara is very sad. She picks up the carrot nose and hugs it. She sees a small cell on the carrot. It is orange and round. + +"What is this?" Sara asks. + +"That is a cell. It is a very small part of the carrot. Everything has cells," Ben says. + +"Really? Even snow?" Sara asks. + +"Yes, even snow. But snow cells are different. They are ice and they melt when it is warm," Ben says. + +"Can we see them?" Sara asks. + +"No, they are too small. We need a special thing to see them. It is called a microscope," Ben says. + +"What is a microscope?" Sara asks. + +"It is a thing that makes small things look big. Like this," Ben says. He holds the carrot close to his eye and pretends to look through it. + +Sara laughs. She holds the carrot close to her eye too. She pretends to see the snow cells. + +"They are pretty too," she says. + +"Yes, they are. Everything is pretty in its own way," Ben says. + +They smile and hug each other. They are still happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with toys. They had many toys, but their favourite was a big aeroplane that could make noises and fly in the air. They always wanted to play with the aeroplane, but they did not like to share it. + +One day, their mum said, "Lily and Ben, it is time to go to the park. You can bring one toy each, but you have to share it with the other children there." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and then at the aeroplane. They both wanted to bring it, but they did not want to share it. They started to fight over the aeroplane, pulling and pushing and shouting. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mum said. "You are being very naughty and selfish. If you cannot share the aeroplane, you cannot bring it at all. You have to choose another toy." + +Lily and Ben did not listen to their mum. They kept fighting over the aeroplane, until they broke it. The aeroplane fell to the floor, and its wings and wheels and noises were gone. Lily and Ben looked at the broken aeroplane and started to cry. + +Their mum was very angry and sad. She said, "Look what you have done! You have ruined your favourite toy, and you have wasted your time. Now you cannot go to the park, and you have no toy to play with. You have to stay in your room and think about what you have done. You have to learn to share and be kind, or you will have no friends and no fun." + +Lily and Ben felt very sorry and ashamed. They wished they had listened to their mum and shared the aeroplane. They realised that the aeroplane was not as important as their mum and their friends. They hugged each other and said, "We are sorry, mum. We are sorry, aeroplane. We will share and be kind from now on." + +But it was too late. The aeroplane was broken, and they could not fix it. They had to stay in their room and miss the park. They had no toy to play with, and they felt very bored and lonely. They learned a hard lesson that day: that being greedy and selfish is disgusting, and that sharing and being kind is good. +Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they saw a big slide. It looked fun, but it was broken. The slide had a hole in the middle. + +"Can we go on the slide?" Lila asked Tom. + +"I don't know. It looks bad," Tom said. + +"Let's try. Maybe it's not so bad," Lila said. + +She climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. She pushed herself down. But when she reached the hole, she fell through. She landed on the ground and hurt her knee. She cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she said. + +Tom ran to her and helped her up. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lila. Are you okay?" + +Lila sniffed and said, "It hurts. The slide is bad. It made me fall." + +Tom said, "Don't worry, Lila. I'm here. I'll support you. Let's go to the bench and sit down. I'll get you a band-aid and some water." + +They walked to the bench and sat down. Tom got a band-aid from his backpack and put it on Lila's knee. He gave her some water and a cookie. He said, "There, there. You'll feel better soon." + +Lila smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. You're a good friend. You always support me." + +They hugged and ate their cookies. They looked at the sky and saw the sunrise. It was beautiful. It had many colors. They said, "Wow!" + +They forgot about the broken slide and the hurt knee. They were happy. They had each other. They had the sunrise. +Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play outside, but today it was very cold. Their mom said they had to wear warm clothes and hats. + +"Can we go to the park, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, but don't spend too much time there. It will get darker soon," mom said. + +Tom and Lily put on their clothes and hats and ran to the park. They saw a big slide and a swing. They had fun going up and down the slide and pushing each other on the swing. + +"Let's go to the pond and see the ducks," Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful. The pond might be frozen," Tom said. + +They ran to the pond and saw some ducks swimming in the water. They threw some bread to them and watched them eat. + +"Look, there is a big hole in the ice. I wonder what's under it," Lily said. + +She walked closer to the hole and leaned over to see. Tom followed her. + +"Don't go too near, Lily. It's dangerous," Tom said. + +But Lily did not listen. She wanted to see more. She leaned too far and slipped on the ice. She fell into the cold water. + +"Help, help!" she cried. + +Tom was scared. He tried to reach her, but he could not. He shouted for help, but no one heard him. He did not know what to do. + +Lily was cold and wet. She could not swim. She tried to grab the ice, but it broke. She went under the water and did not come up. + +Tom cried and cried. He wished he had been more wise and listened to mom. He wished he had not spent so much time at the park. He wished he had not let Lily go near the hole. He wished he could save her. But it was too late. Lily was gone. +Ben and Lily liked to play number games in summer. They had cards with numbers and pictures on them. They would take turns to show a card and say the number. The other one had to say the number too. If they said the same number, they got a point. If they said a different number, they lost a point. They were very competitive and wanted to win. + +One day, they played with their new cards. They had numbers from one to ten. Ben showed a card with six apples on it. He said, "Six." + +Lily looked at the card and said, "Six." + +They both got a point. They smiled and clapped. + +Then Lily showed a card with nine stars on it. She said, "Nine." + +Ben looked at the card and said, "Eight." + +They both lost a point. Lily frowned and shook her head. + +"No, Ben. This is nine. See? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Nine stars." + +Ben counted the stars again. He saw his mistake. He said, "Sorry, Lily. You are right. This is nine." + +Lily nodded and said, "It's okay, Ben. We all make mistakes. Do you want to play again?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please. I like playing number games with you. You are a good friend." + +Lily smiled and said, "You are a good friend too. Let's play again. Maybe we can both win this time." +Lily liked to play with lizards. She found them in the garden and put them in a box. She gave them grass and water and watched them move. She liked their green skin and long tails. + +One day, she saw a big lizard on the wall. It was bigger than her hand and had yellow spots. Lily wanted to catch it and put it in her box. She ran to the wall and reached for the lizard. + +"Please, please, come with me," she said to the lizard. "You can be my friend and play with the other lizards." + +But the lizard did not want to go with Lily. It opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth. It hissed and bit Lily's finger. Lily screamed and let go of the lizard. It ran away and hid under a rock. + +Lily's finger hurt a lot. It was red and swollen. She put it in her mouth and tasted blood. It was sour and yucky. She cried and ran to her mom. + +Mom saw Lily's finger and was worried. She took her to the doctor. The doctor said the lizard was poisonous and gave Lily a shot. Lily hated shots. They hurt more than the lizard bite. + +Lily learned a lesson. She should not touch lizards that she did not know. They could be dangerous and make her sick. She was sorry for bothering the lizard and wished she had left it alone. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bag on a bench. It is red and shiny. Lily wants to look inside the bag. Ben is scared. + +"Maybe it is a bad bag," he says. "Maybe it has a snake or a spider or a monster." + +Lily laughs. "Don't be silly, Ben. It is just a bag. Maybe it has a toy or a candy or a surprise. Come on, let's jog to the bag and see." + +Lily and Ben jog to the bag. They are fast and happy. They reach the bag and open it. Inside, they find a powerful flashlight. It is bright and yellow. Lily and Ben are excited. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily says. "It is a powerful flashlight. We can use it to make shadows and signals and games. It is a good bag. It has a fun thing." + +Lily and Ben turn on the flashlight and point it at the trees and the sky and the ground. They make shapes and letters and animals. They have a lot of fun. They do not see the man who is looking for the bag. He is angry and mean. He has a gun and a mask. He is a robber. He wants the flashlight. It is not a toy. It is a tool. He needs it to break into a bank. He sees Lily and Ben with the flashlight. He runs to them and shouts. + +"Hey, you kids! Give me back my bag and my flashlight! They are mine! They are not for you!" + +Lily and Ben are scared. They do not know what to do. They hold the flashlight and the bag. They look at the man. He is big and scary. He has a gun and a mask. He is a bad man. He wants the bad bag. He wants the powerful flashlight. He wants to hurt Lily and Ben. +Anna and Ben were very happy. They were going on a holiday with Mum and Dad. They packed their bags with toys and clothes. They went to the big place where the planes were. + +"Look, Anna, that's our plane!" Ben said, pointing to a big blue and white plane. + +"Wow, it's so big!" Anna said. "How can it fly?" + +Mum and Dad smiled. They took their bags to a man who put them on a big scale. + +"What is he doing?" Anna asked. + +"He is weighing our bags, Anna. He needs to know how heavy they are, so the plane can fly safely," Dad explained. + +"Oh, I see," Anna said. She wondered how much she weighed. She wanted to go on the scale too. + +"Can I weigh myself, please?" she asked the man. + +The man laughed. He was very kind. He said yes and let Anna stand on the scale. + +"Look, Ben, I weigh twenty kilos!" Anna said, reading the number on the screen. + +"That's great, Anna! You are very strong!" Ben said. He wanted to weigh himself too. He went on the scale and saw that he weighed twenty-two kilos. + +"I weigh more than you, Anna! I am stronger!" he said, sticking out his tongue. + +Anna and Ben giggled. They thanked the man and followed Mum and Dad to the plane. They were very excited. They got on the plane and found their seats. They put on their seat belts and waited for the plane to fly. + +Soon, the plane started to move. It went faster and faster. Anna and Ben looked out the window and saw the ground getting smaller and smaller. + +"Wow, we are flying!" Anna said. + +"It's amazing!" Ben said. + +They felt a funny feeling in their tummies. They felt dizzy. + +"Mum, Dad, I feel dizzy!" Anna said. + +"Me too!" Ben said. + +"Don't worry, sweeties. It's normal. It's because the plane is going up. It will go away soon. Just close your eyes and relax," Mum said. + +Anna and Ben closed their eyes and held Mum and Dad's hands. They felt better. They opened their eyes and saw the clouds and the sun. They smiled. They were on their way to their holiday. They were very happy. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They have a big cloth that they use as a cape. They pretend to be superheroes and run around the trees and swings. + +"Look, Ben, I can fly!" Anna says. She holds the cloth behind her and jumps off a small hill. + +"You are so fast, Anna!" Ben says. He holds the cloth too and follows her. + +They see a big dog near the fence. The dog is barking and growling. It has sharp teeth and a fierce look. + +"Uh-oh, Anna, a bad dog!" Ben says. He is scared and stops running. + +"Don't worry, Ben, we are superheroes!" Anna says. She is brave and holds the cloth in front of her. "Go away, bad dog! We are not afraid of you!" + +The dog sees the cloth and thinks it is a toy. It runs towards Anna and Ben and tries to grab the cloth. + +"Help, Anna, the dog wants our cape!" Ben says. He holds the cloth tight and pulls it back. + +Anna and Ben run away from the dog. They find a safe place behind a bench. They hold the cloth and each other. + +"That was close, Ben!" Anna says. She is shaking and breathing hard. + +"Are you okay, Anna?" Ben says. He is crying and hugging her. + +"Yes, Ben, I'm okay. You are okay too. We are superheroes, remember?" Anna says. She smiles and wipes his tears. + +They hold the cloth and each other and feel better. They are superheroes and friends. +Lily likes to sing and dance. She wants to go on the stage and show everyone her song. But she is very shy and scared. She thinks the stage is too big and the people are too many. + +One day, her teacher says they will have a show at school. She asks Lily if she wants to join. Lily says yes, but she feels weak in her legs. She does not know if she can do it. + +The day of the show comes. Lily wears a pretty dress and a flower in her hair. She waits with her friends backstage. She hears the music and the clapping. She sees the lights and the curtains. She feels her heart beat fast. + +Her teacher smiles at her and says, "It's your turn, Lily. You can do it. I'm proud of you." She holds her hand and leads her to the stage. Lily looks at the teacher and nods. She lets go of her hand and walks to the center of the stage. + +She sees the people in the seats. They are quiet and looking at her. She feels weak in her knees. She wants to run away. But then she remembers her song. She loves her song. She opens her mouth and starts to sing. + +She sings loud and clear. She sings with joy and confidence. She sings with all her heart. She forgets her fear and feels strong. She sees the people smile and nod. She hears them cheer and clap. She feels happy and proud. + +She finishes her song and bows. She runs back to her teacher and hugs her. She says, "I did it, I did it! I went on the stage and sang my song!" Her teacher says, "You did it, you did it! You were amazing and brave!" They both laugh and cry. They go back to their friends and celebrate. Lily thinks, "I like the stage. I want to go again." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They like to open the refrigerator and see what is inside. Sometimes they find yummy things, like cheese and juice. Sometimes they find icky things, like green eggs and moldy bread. + +One day, they see a big cake in the refrigerator. It is pink and white and has sprinkles on top. It looks very yummy. Anna and Ben want to eat the cake. They hope Mommy and Daddy will let them have some. + +"Can we have some cake, please?" they ask Mommy and Daddy. + +Mommy and Daddy smile. They say, "That cake is for Grandma. She is coming to visit us today. She is very old and sick. The cake will make her happy and healthy. You can have some cake after we give some to Grandma, okay?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They love Grandma. They want her to be happy and healthy. They say, "Okay, Mommy and Daddy. We will wait for Grandma." + +They go back to the kitchen and play with their toys. They do not touch the cake. They are good twins. + +Soon, Grandma arrives. She hugs Mommy and Daddy and Anna and Ben. She says, "Hello, my darlings. I missed you so much. How are you?" + +"We are good, Grandma. We have a surprise for you. Come and see!" Anna and Ben say. + +They take Grandma to the refrigerator and open the door. They show her the big cake. They say, "This is for you, Grandma. We hope you like it. It is pink and white and has sprinkles on top. It is very yummy." + +Grandma gasps. She says, "Oh, my! What a beautiful cake! Thank you, my darlings. You are so sweet and thoughtful. I love it. And I love you." + +She kisses Anna and Ben. She says, "Can we share the cake? I want to have some with you." + +Anna and Ben clap. They say, "Yes, Grandma. We can share the cake. We want to have some with you too." + +They take the cake out of the refrigerator and put it on the table. They cut the cake and give a slice to Grandma, Mommy, Daddy, Anna and Ben. They eat the cake and enjoy it. They talk and laugh and have fun. They are a happy family. +Ben and Lily went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many fish and shells and crabs. + +"Look, Ben, a shark!" Lily said, pointing to a big gray shape in the water. She was scared and ran to Mom. + +"Don't worry, Lily, it's not a real shark. It's a toy shark. Someone left it here," Mom said, picking up the plastic shark. She showed it to Lily and Ben. + +"Can I play with it, Mom?" Ben asked. He liked sharks. He wanted to pretend he was a shark. + +"Sure, Ben, but be gentle. It's not yours. Maybe someone will come back for it," Mom said, letting Ben take the toy shark. She smiled at Lily and hugged her. + +Ben ran to the water with the toy shark. He made it swim and bite and roar. He had fun. Lily watched him and felt better. She saw that the toy shark was rough and had sharp teeth. She did not like it. + +"Ben, can I play with you?" Lily asked. She wanted to play with her brother. + +"OK, Lily, but you have to be a fish. I'm a shark and I'm hungry," Ben said, making the toy shark chase Lily. + +Lily laughed and ran away. She pretended to be a fish. She and Ben played together. They had fun. Mom and Dad watched them and smiled. They were happy. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and slide and swing. They see a big bird in the sky. It is a hawk. The hawk has brown and white feathers. It flies very fast and high. + +The hawk sees a mouse on the ground. It wants to catch the mouse for lunch. It dives down and grabs the mouse with its claws. But the mouse is clever. It wriggles and bites the hawk's foot. The hawk lets go of the mouse and flies away. + +The mouse is happy. It runs to its hole and hides. The hawk is angry and hurt. It flies to a tree and rests. But it drops a feather on the way. The feather falls to the ground near Sara and Ben. + +Sara and Ben see the feather. They run to pick it up. It is soft and pretty. They take turns holding it and tickling each other. They laugh and giggle. They spin around with the feather. They feel dizzy. + +They stop spinning and sit on the grass. They look at the feather and smile. They are happy. They have a new toy. They do not see the hawk in the tree. The hawk watches them and snorts. It does not like them. It flies away. +Sara has a dog named Spot. Spot likes to follow Sara everywhere. He follows her to the park, to the store, to the school. Sara loves Spot and gives him hugs and treats. + +One day, Sara and Spot go to the park. They see a man with a big bag of lemons. Spot is curious and runs to the man. He sniffs the bag and tries to bite a lemon. The man yells at Spot and pulls the bag away. + +"Hey, get away from my lemons, you bad dog!" the man says. "These are mine, not yours!" + +Spot does not like the man. He does not like the lemons. They are sour and make his mouth hurt. He barks at the man and runs back to Sara. + +"Sara, Sara, help me!" Spot says. "The man is mean and his lemons are sour!" + +Sara sees Spot and the man. She runs to Spot and hugs him. She is angry at the man. + +"Leave my dog alone!" Sara says. "He did not mean to bother you. He was just curious. You should not yell at him or pull his bag. That is not nice!" + +The man is surprised and ashamed. He sees that Sara and Spot are friends and that Spot is a good dog. He feels sorry for being mean. + +"I'm sorry, little girl," the man says. "I was wrong to yell at your dog. He is a cute dog and you are a brave owner. Here, take a lemon for him. Maybe he will like it better now." + +Sara smiles and takes the lemon. She thanks the man and gives him a hug. She gives the lemon to Spot and tells him to try it again. Spot licks the lemon and makes a funny face. He still does not like the lemons. They are still sour. But he likes the man. He is not mean anymore. He wags his tail and gives the man a lick. + +Sara and Spot are happy. They have made a new friend. They say goodbye to the man and his lemons and go home. They follow each other everywhere. They are the best friends ever. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play catch with a ball. They throw the ball to each other and try to catch it. Sometimes they miss and the ball rolls away. Then they run after it and start again. + +One day, they see a band in the park. The band has drums, guitars and singers. They make loud and fun music.

Let's go and explore it." + +He paddled harder and faster, but the branch could not keep up. It cracked and snapped in the middle. Tom and Sam fell into the water.

I spit them out into my napkin. I don't like broccoli. It's green and yucky." + +Mom said, "Lily, lying is bad. It hurts me and it hurts you. You hurt me because you broke my trust. You hurt yourself because you missed a chance to eat something good for you. Broccoli is not yucky. It is good for you. It has vitamins and minerals that help you grow and stay healthy. If you don't eat broccoli, you might get sick and weak. You don't want that, do you?" + +Lily said, "No, mom. I don't want that. I want to be strong and healthy like Max." + +Mom said, "Then you need to eat your broccoli and other vegetables. They are not only good for you, but they can also be tasty if you try them. You don't have to love them, but you have to eat them. And you don't have to lie to me. You can tell me the truth. I love you no matter what. But I also want you to be honest and healthy.

I love you, mom." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. I forgive you. But you have to learn from your mistake. As a consequence, you will not get any ice cream today. Maybe tomorrow, if you eat your broccoli and other vegetables. Okay?" + +Lily said, "Okay, mom. I accept that. Thank you for forgiving me. And thank you for making soup for us. It was actually not that bad. Maybe I will like it more next time." + +Mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you are willing to try new things. That's how you grow and learn. Now, go wash your hands and face. And then you can play with Max." + +Lily said, "Okay, mom. Bye." + +She hugged mom and went to the bathroom.

He thought it might be a good idea and he went to the pantry to look for something else to eat. He found lots of different snacks and he chose something else to eat instead. + +The boy was happy to have something else to replace his sandwich with and he ate his snack feeling satisfied and content. + +Moral: Anger should not control our lives.
