Lily wants to use it for her picture, but her mom says no. + +"That button is special, Lily. It was your grandma's button. She gave it to me when I was little like you. It is not for crafts, it is for keeping," her mom says. + +Lily feels sad. She likes the button very much. She thinks it would make her picture more pretty. She asks her mom, "Can I have the button, please? I will be careful with it. I will not lose it or break it." + +Her mom thinks for a moment. She sees that Lily loves the button too. She remembers how her grandma used to tell her stories about the button, how it came from a faraway place, how it was part of a dress, how it made her feel happy. + +She smiles and says, "Okay, Lily. You can have the button. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will not glue it on paper. You have to promise me that you will keep it safe and treasure it. And you have to promise me that you will tell your own stories about the button, to yourself and to others. Can you do that?" + +Lily nods and hugs her mom. She says, "I promise, mom. Thank you for the button. It is the prettiest button in the world. I will keep it in my pocket and I will tell stories about it. I love you, mom." + +Her mom says, "I love you too, Lily. And I love that you love the button. It is a special button, and you are a special girl." +Lily and Ben were busy making a snowman in the park. They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They found a carrot, a hat and a scarf to decorate their snowman. They also gave him two buttons for eyes and a smile. + +"Look, our snowman is done!" Lily said. "He is very happy and warm." + +Ben nodded. He looked around and saw a mitten on the ground. It was red and soft. He picked it up and ran to the snowman. + +"Here, snowman. You can have this mitten for a hand. It will keep you cozy." He said. He put the mitten on the snowman's right side. + +Lily smiled. She liked the mitten. She looked at her own hands. They were cold and wet. She wished she had a mitten too. + +"Ben, can I have the other mitten?" She asked. "My hands are cold." + +Ben shook his head. He only had one mitten. He had lost the other one on the way to the park. He felt sorry for Lily, but he did not want to give up his mitten. + +"No, Lily. This is my mitten. You can't have it." He said. + +Lily frowned. She was sad and angry. She did not think Ben was being nice. She wanted to enjoy the snowman, but she could not. She felt like crying. + +"Ben, you are mean. You should share your mitten. Sharing is caring." She said. + +Ben did not listen. He hugged his mitten and turned away. He did not want to share. He did not care. + +Lily and Ben stopped talking. They did not enjoy the snowman anymore. They did not enjoy the park. They did not enjoy each other. They were both unhappy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the pool with their mom. They liked to splash and swim and have fun. Lily wanted to show Tom how she could dive. She said, "Look, Tom, I can dive like a fish!" + +She ran to the edge of the pool and jumped in. But she did not dive well. She hit her head on the wall of the pool. It hurt a lot. She cried and came out of the water. + +Tom saw what happened and felt sorry for Lily. He said, "Are you okay, Lily? That was a bad dive. You should be careful." + +Lily felt ashamed. She did not want Tom to see her cry. She did not want him to think she was bad at diving. She said, "I'm okay, Tom. It was just a mistake. I can dive better next time." + +Mom heard them and came to hug Lily. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. You are brave for trying to dive. But you have to be safe too. Next time, dive away from the wall, not towards it. And don't run before you dive. Walk slowly and bend your knees." + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She said, "Thank you, Mom. I will do that next time. Can we play some more?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, we can. But first, let me put some ice on your head. It will make it feel better." + +Lily and Tom followed Mom to the shade. They got some ice and a towel. Mom put the ice on Lily's head and wrapped the towel around her. Lily felt better. She said, "I love you, Mom." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. And I love you, Tom." + +Tom said, "I love you, Mom. And I love you, Lily." + +They hugged each other and smiled. Then they went back to the pool and played some more. They had a lot of fun. They splashed and swam and had fun. And Lily tried to dive again. But this time, she did it right. She dove away from the wall, not towards it. And she did not run before she dove. She walked slowly and bent her knees. She dove like a fish. And she was proud. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy cars and trucks. They had many different kinds, some big, some small, some fast, some slow. They also had a special toy that looked like a rocket. It was called a missile. It was expensive, because it could make a loud noise and fly in the air. + +One day, they decided to play with the missile in the backyard. They put it on a ramp and pushed a button. The missile zoomed up the ramp and flew high in the sky. Ben and Lily clapped and cheered. They watched the missile go up and up and up. + +But then, something bad happened. The missile did not come down. It got stuck in a big tree. Ben and Lily tried to reach it, but they were too small. They tried to shake the tree, but it was too strong. They tried to throw a ball at it, but they missed. They did not know what to do. + +"Mommy, mommy, help us!" they cried. "Our missile is in the tree!" + +Mommy came out and saw the problem. She was not happy. She said, "Oh no, how did this happen? That missile is expensive, you know. You should not play with it outside. It could hurt someone or break something." + +She got a ladder and climbed up the tree. She tried to grab the missile, but it was too far. She tried to snap the branch, but it was too thick. She tried to poke the missile with a stick, but it did not move. She did not know what to do. + +"Sorry, mommy, sorry," Ben and Lily said. "We just wanted to have fun. We did not mean to lose the missile." + +Mommy sighed and said, "It's okay, I know you did not mean it. But you have to be careful with your toys. They are not just for fun, they are also for learning. Maybe we can find a way to get the missile down later. For now, let's go inside and have some cookies." + +Ben and Lily nodded and followed mommy. They felt sad, but they hoped they could get their missile back someday. They learned a lesson: expensive toys are not always the best toys. +Lila was sick. She had a bad cough and a hot head. Mommy took her to the doctor. The doctor looked at Lila and said, "You need some medicine to make you feel better. It will help you stop coughing and cool your head." + +Mommy said, "Thank you, doctor. How much do I have to pay for the medicine?" + +The doctor said, "You don't have to pay anything. The medicine is free for little kids like Lila. You just have to go to the pharmacy and show them this paper. They will give you the medicine." + +Mommy and Lila went to the pharmacy. They showed the paper to the lady behind the counter. The lady smiled and said, "Here is your medicine, Lila. You have to take one spoon every day until the bottle is empty. It tastes like cherry. Do you like cherry?" + +Lila nodded. She liked cherry. She hoped the medicine would make her feel better. She said, "Thank you, lady." + +The lady said, "You're welcome, Lila. I hope you get well soon." + +Mommy and Lila went home. Mommy gave Lila a spoon of medicine. Lila drank it. It tasted like cherry. She said, "Mommy, I love you." + +Mommy hugged Lila and said, "I love you too, Lila. You are my brave and fit girl. You will be better soon." +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big tree in their yard with many branches. Anna and Ben wanted to climb the tree and see the birds and the sky. But their mom said no. She said it was too high and too dangerous. She gave them a task to do instead. She said they had to pick up the toys and put them in the box. + +Anna and Ben did not like the task. They thought it was boring and hard. They wanted to have fun and climb the tree. They looked at each other and had an idea. They pretended to be deaf. They acted like they did not hear their mom when she called them. They ran to the tree and started to climb. + +"Anna! Ben! Come here!" their mom shouted. But they did not listen. They climbed higher and higher. They saw the birds and the sky. They felt happy and free. They did not see their mom coming. She was angry and worried. She grabbed them by their legs and pulled them down. + +"Anna! Ben! How could you do this?" she scolded. "You could have fallen and hurt yourself. You could have broken your bones. You could have scared the birds. You could have made me sad. Why did you not do your task? Why did you not hear me?" + +Anna and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They knew they did a bad thing. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They said they wanted to climb the tree and have fun. They said they pretended to be deaf. + +Their mom sighed and hugged them back. She said she loved them and wanted them to be safe. She said they could climb the tree another day, but only with her help. She said they had to do their task first and listen to her. She said they could not pretend to be deaf. + +Anna and Ben nodded and agreed. They said they loved their mom and wanted to make her happy. They said they would do their task and listen to her. They said they would not pretend to be deaf. They picked up the toys and put them in the box. They did their task and made their mom smile. +It was a cold day. Tom and Lily wanted to play outside. They put on their warm coats, hats and boots. They said bye to Mom and went to the park. + +The park was full of mist. They could not see very far. They felt the mist on their faces. It was wet and soft. They liked the mist. + +They saw a big hill. They wanted to go up the hill. They ran and climbed. They reached the top. They looked around. They saw nothing but mist. + +"Where are we?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Tom said. "It's like we are in a cloud." + +They heard a voice. It was Mom. She was calling them. + +"Tom! Lily! Where are you?" + +They shouted back. + +"Mom! We are here! On the hill!" + +Mom heard them. She came to the hill. She saw them. She smiled. + +"There you are!" she said. "You look like you had fun. But it's time to go home. It's getting dark." + +"OK, Mom," Tom and Lily said. They followed Mom. They went down the hill. They left the mist. They saw the park again. They saw the lights of their home. + +They were happy. They had a misty adventure. They wore their warm clothes. They felt the soft mist. They loved their Mom. +Lily and Tom are playing in the garden. They have a big box of toys. Lily likes to comb her dolls' hair. Tom likes to poke things with a stick. + +"Look, I made my doll very pretty," Lily says, holding up a comb and a doll. "Do you want to comb your doll, too?" + +Tom shakes his head. He does not have a doll. He has a car and a dinosaur. He does not like to comb things. He likes to poke things. + +"Poke, poke, poke," he says, poking the car with his stick. "Vroom, vroom, vroom." + +Lily frowns. She does not like to poke things. She thinks it is rude and mean. + +"Stop poking, Tom," she says. "You will break your car. And you will hurt your dinosaur. Poking is not nice." + +Tom does not listen. He pokes the dinosaur with his stick. "Roar, roar, roar," he says. + +The dinosaur does not like to be poked. It is a toy, but it has a button that makes it move and sound. It moves its head and opens its mouth. It makes a loud roar. + +Tom is scared. He drops his stick and runs away. "Help, help, help," he cries. + +Lily is helpful. She puts down her comb and her doll. She runs after Tom. She hugs him and calms him down. + +"It's okay, Tom," she says. "It's just a toy. It can't hurt you. But you should not poke it. It does not like it. You should be gentle and kind." + +Tom nods. He is sorry. He says sorry to the dinosaur. He picks up his stick and his car. He gives them to Lily. + +"Here, Lily," he says. "You can have my stick and my car. You can comb them if you want. I will play with your doll. I will be gentle and kind." + +Lily smiles. She takes the stick and the car. She gives Tom her comb and her doll. They play together in the garden. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben like to use their crayons and paper to make pictures. They have many colors of crayons, but they both like blue the best. Sometimes they share the blue crayon, but sometimes they want it for themselves. + +One day, they decided to make pictures of the sky. They looked out the window and saw many clouds. Some were big and white, some were small and gray, and some had shapes like animals or things. + +"I want to make a cloud that looks like a dog," Lily said. She took the blue crayon and started to draw on her paper. + +"I want to make a cloud that looks like a car," Ben said. He reached for the blue crayon, but Lily did not let go. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. "You have to use another color." + +"But I need blue for the sky," Ben said. "You can use another color for the dog." + +They both pulled on the blue crayon, trying to get it. They were very competitive and did not want to lose. The crayon broke in half and fell on the floor. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Ben said. They looked at the broken crayon and felt sad. They had ruined their favorite color. + +They looked at each other and felt sorry. They did not want to fight over a crayon. They wanted to be friends and have fun. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "You can have the blue crayon. I can use another color for the car." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily said. "You can have the blue crayon. I can use another color for the dog." + +They picked up the pieces of the blue crayon and gave them to each other. They smiled and hugged. They decided to share the blue crayon and make pictures of the sky together. They looked at their pictures and saw that they had made beautiful clouds. They were happy and proud. +Lily loved her red boot. She wore it every day, even when it was hot or wet. She liked to jump and run and kick with her red boot. It made her happy. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. She ran to the slide with her red boot. But when she got there, she saw a boy with a blue boot. He was on the slide and he did not want to share. + +"Go away!" he said to Lily. "This is my slide. You can't play here with your red boot. It is ugly and dirty." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like the boy with the blue boot. He was mean and rude. She wanted to play on the slide with her red boot. + +She said to the boy, "No, you go away! This is not your slide. You can't be here with your blue boot. It is silly and smelly." + +The boy and Lily started to yell and push each other. They did not have fun. They made a lot of noise. + +Mom and dad heard the noise and came to the slide. They saw the boy and Lily fighting. They were not happy. + +They said to the boy and Lily, "Stop it! You are both wrong. You can't be mean and rude to each other. You have to share and be nice. You can both play on the slide with your boots. They are not ugly or silly. They are just different. And different is good." + +The boy and Lily looked at their boots. They saw that they were not so bad. They were just red and blue. They were both shiny and strong. They were both good for jumping and running and kicking. + +They said to each other, "Sorry. I was mean and rude. Your boot is not ugly or silly. It is just different. And different is good." + +They smiled and shook hands. They decided to play on the slide together. They had fun. They made friends. + +They also saw a girl with a yellow boot. She had a bag of spicy chips. She wanted to share. They said yes. They ate the spicy chips. They liked them. They said, "Yum!" + +They all loved their boots. They loved the slide. They loved the spicy chips. They loved each other. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. But their favorite thing was to jump on the spring. + +The spring was a big metal coil that was stuck in the ground. It had a seat on top that you could sit on and bounce up and down. Lily and Ben loved to bounce on the spring and pretend they were flying. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He was sitting on a bench and looked sad. He had a big cast on his leg and crutches by his side. Lily and Ben wanted to make him happy. + +"Hi, what's your name?" Lily asked the new boy. + +"Tom," he said in a low voice. + +"Do you want to play with us?" Ben asked. + +"I can't," Tom said. "I broke my leg and it hurts. I can't run or jump or do anything fun." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for Tom. They wanted to help him. + +"We have an idea," Lily said. "You can bounce on the spring with us. It's very fun and it doesn't hurt your leg." + +"How can I bounce on the spring with a broken leg?" Tom asked. + +"We will support you," Ben said. "We will hold your hands and help you sit on the seat. Then we will bounce together and you will feel like you are flying." + +Tom thought that sounded unusual, but also exciting. He agreed to try it. Lily and Ben supported him and helped him sit on the spring. Then they bounced up and down, gently and slowly. Tom felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He smiled and laughed. + +"Thank you, Lily and Ben," he said. "You are very kind and you made me happy. Can we be friends?" + +"Of course," Lily and Ben said. "We are always happy to make new friends. And we can bounce on the spring together every day." + +They hugged and bounced some more. They had a lot of fun on the spring. They were unusual, but happy friends. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But sometimes they make a big mess. Their mom does not like that. + +One day, mom says, "Sara and Ben, you have to clean up your toys. The living room is not organized. I want the couch to be free of toys. You can put them in the toy box or on the shelf." + +Sara and Ben do not want to clean up. They want to keep playing. They say, "No, mom, we are having fun. We do not want to stop." + +Mom says, "You can play later, after you clean up. If you do not clean up, you will not get a snack. And you will not watch TV. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben do not like that. They do not want to miss their snack and TV. They say, "OK, mom, we will clean up. But can we have some help?" + +Mom says, "Yes, I will help you. But you have to do most of the work. It is your mess. Come on, let's start." + +Sara and Ben start to pick up their toys. They put them in the toy box or on the shelf. They make the living room organized. They clear the couch of toys. Mom is happy. She says, "Good job, Sara and Ben. You did well. Now you can have a snack and watch TV. But next time, please clean up as you go. OK?" + +Sara and Ben say, "OK, mom. Thank you for helping us. We are sorry for making a mess. We love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too. Now enjoy your snack and TV. But not for too long. You still have to take a nap." +Lila and Ben were playing in the yard. They liked to dig in the dirt and find things. Sometimes they found rocks, or bugs, or shells. Today, they found something shiny and hard. It was iron. + +"Look, Lila, I found iron!" Ben said, holding it up. + +"What is iron?" Lila asked, curious. + +"Iron is a thing you can make stuff with. Like cars, or trains, or spoons. But you need fire and tools to make it. It is very cold and strong," Ben explained. + +"Can I see it?" Lila asked, reaching for it. + +"Sure, here you go," Ben said, giving it to her. + +Lila felt the iron in her hand. It was cold and heavy. She wondered what it tasted like. She put it in her mouth and tried to chew it. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila cried, spitting it out. "Iron is bad! It hurts my teeth!" + +Ben looked at her, shocked. "Lila, why did you chew the iron? You can't chew iron! It is not food! It is metal!" + +"I wanted to try it. I didn't know it was bad. I'm sorry, Ben," Lila said, rubbing her mouth. + +"It's okay, Lila. I'm sorry you hurt your teeth. Here, have some water. And don't chew iron again, okay?" Ben said, handing her a cup. + +"Okay, Ben. Thank you. And don't chew iron either, okay?" Lila said, taking a sip. + +"Okay, Lila. I won't. Let's go find something else to play with. Something soft and nice," Ben said, putting the iron away. + +"Okay, Ben. Let's go," Lila said, smiling. + +They ran off to play, leaving the iron behind. They learned a new thing today. Iron is cold and strong, but not good to chew. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play with toys and books. They also like to nap after lunch. One day, they have a new teacher at school. Her name is Miss Rose. She wears a fancy dress and a hat. + +Miss Rose says, "Hello, children. I am your teacher today. We are going to have fun and learn new things. But first, let's nap for a while. You can choose a mat and a blanket and lie down quietly." + +Lily and Max look at each other. They do not want to nap. They want to play. They whisper to each other. + +"Let's pretend to nap, but then sneak out and play," Lily says. + +"OK, but we have to be very quiet and fast," Max says. + +They nod and pick a mat and a blanket. They lie down and close their eyes. Miss Rose turns off the light and plays some soft music. She sits on a chair and reads a book. + +Lily and Max wait for a few minutes. Then they open their eyes and look around. They see that the other children are sleeping. They smile and get up. They tiptoe to the door and open it. They run to the playground and see the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. + +"Yay, we did it! Let's play!" Lily says. + +"Shh, don't be loud. Miss Rose might hear us," Max says. + +They run to the swings and take turns pushing each other. They laugh and have fun. They do not see Miss Rose coming out of the door. She sees them and frowns. + +"Lily and Max, what are you doing? You are supposed to be napping. Come back inside right now!" she says. + +Lily and Max stop swinging and look at Miss Rose. They feel scared and sorry. They get off the swings and walk to Miss Rose. They lower their heads and say, "We are sorry, Miss Rose. We did not want to nap. We wanted to play." + +Miss Rose sighs and says, "I understand, but napping is good for you. It helps you grow and rest. You can play later, after napping. Now, let's go back inside and join the other children. And next time, please listen to me and follow the rules." + +Lily and Max nod and say, "OK, Miss Rose. We will listen and follow the rules. We will nap and then play." + +Miss Rose smiles and says, "Good. I am glad you learned your lesson. Now, let's go." She holds their hands and leads them back to the classroom. She tucks them in their mats and blankets and says, "Sweet dreams, Lily and Max." + +Lily and Max close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of playing with their toys and books. They also dream of Miss Rose and her fancy dress and hat. They think she is a nice teacher, even if she makes them nap. +Sara is a pupil in Miss Lee's class. She likes to learn new things and play with her friends. But she does not like to tidy up her toys and books after she is done. She thinks it is boring and hard. + +One day, Miss Lee tells the pupils that they will have a special visitor. It is the principal, Mr. Jones. He will come to see how they are doing and give them a sticker. Sara wants a sticker very much. She thinks they are pretty and shiny. + +But when Mr. Jones comes, he sees that Sara's desk is very messy. There are toys and books and crayons everywhere. He frowns and says, "Sara, why is your desk so untidy? Don't you know how to put things away?" + +Sara feels ashamed and sad. She says, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jones. I don't like to tidy up. I like to play and learn." + +Mr. Jones says, "I understand, Sara. But tidying up is also important. It helps you to find things easily and keep your space clean and safe. It also shows respect for yourself and others. If you tidy up your desk, I will give you a sticker. Do you want a sticker?" + +Sara nods and says, "Yes, please. I want a sticker. I will tidy up my desk now." + +She starts to put her toys and books and crayons in their places. She works hard and fast. Soon, her desk is tidy and neat. Mr. Jones smiles and says, "Well done, Sara. You did a great job. Here is your sticker. You can choose the color you like." + +Sara picks a pink sticker and sticks it on her shirt. She feels happy and proud. She says, "Thank you, Mr. Jones. I like my sticker. And I like my tidy desk. I will try to keep it tidy from now on." + +Mr. Jones says, "You're welcome, Sara. I'm glad to hear that. You are a good pupil and a good learner. Keep up the good work." He gives her a high-five and moves on to the next desk. + +Sara looks at her sticker and smiles. She thinks, "Tidying up is not so bad after all. Maybe I can do it more often. And maybe I can get more stickers." +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with many feathers. The bird was red and blue and yellow. It was very pretty. + +"Look, Anna, a bird!" Ben said. "Can we touch it?" + +Anna shook her head. "No, Ben, we can't. The bird may not like it. It may fly away or bite us." + +Ben was sad. He wanted to touch the feathers. They looked soft and shiny. He saw one feather on the ground. It was blue and yellow. He ran to pick it up. + +"Ben, wait!" Anna called. "Don't take the feather. It belongs to the bird." + +But Ben did not listen. He grabbed the feather and held it in his hand. He smiled. He felt the feather. It was soft and shiny. + +The bird saw Ben. It was angry. It flew to Ben and squawked. It wanted its feather back. + +"Give me my feather!" the bird said. "It is mine. You are bad." + +Ben was scared. He did not like the bird. It was loud and mean. He dropped the feather and ran to Anna. + +"Anna, help me!" Ben said. "The bird is mad at me. It wants its feather." + +Anna hugged Ben. She was sorry for him. She saw the feather on the ground. She picked it up and walked to the bird. + +"Hello, bird," Anna said. "We are sorry. We did not mean to hurt you. We just liked your feathers. They are very pretty. Here is your feather. Please take it back." + +The bird looked at Anna. It saw that she was kind. It took the feather and put it on its wing. It was happy. It had its feather back. + +"Thank you, Anna," the bird said. "You are good. You are nice. I am glad you are my friend." + +Anna smiled. She was glad too. She waved to the bird. The bird waved back. It flew away. + +Anna and Ben went back to playing. They learned a lesson. They did not take things that were not theirs. They respected the bird and its feathers. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food for their toys. Ben had a big pot and a spoon. Lily had a phone and a hat. + +"Hello, this is Lily's restaurant. What do you want to eat?" Lily said into the phone. She held it to her ear and smiled. + +"I want pizza with cheese and pepperoni," Ben said. He pretended to be a customer. He stirred the pot and added some salt. + +"Okay, pizza is coming soon. Bye!" Lily said. She hung up the phone and put it on the table. She looked for something to make pizza with. She saw a red bottle on the counter. It had a picture of a pepper on it. + +"Ben, I found some sauce for the pizza!" Lily said. She grabbed the bottle and ran to the pot. She opened it and poured some sauce into the pot. She did not know that the sauce was very spicy. + +"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Ben shouted. He tasted the sauce with his spoon. It burned his tongue and made him cough. He dropped the spoon and grabbed a glass of water. He drank it fast. + +"Lily, what did you do? This sauce is spicy! It hurts!" Ben said. He was angry and sad. + +Lily was scared. She did not mean to hurt Ben. She looked at the bottle and saw the pepper. She realized her mistake. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I did not know. I thought it was tomato sauce. I wanted to make pizza for you," Lily said. She started to cry. + +Ben saw that Lily was sorry. He felt bad for yelling at her. He hugged her and wiped her tears. + +"It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. You are my sister and I love you. Let's make something else for the toys. How about cookies?" Ben said. + +Lily smiled and nodded. She hugged Ben back and said, "I love you too, Ben. Cookies sound good. Let's go find some flour and sugar." + +They put the pot and the bottle away. They took the phone and the hat with them. They went to look for the ingredients for the cookies. They forgot about the spicy sauce and had fun playing in the kitchen. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and smell them. They saw a big white flower with a yellow middle. It was a lily. + +"Let's smell the lily," Anna said. She went close to the flower and sniffed. "Ew, it is smelly!" she said. She made a face and moved away. + +Ben wanted to smell the lily too. He thought maybe Anna was joking. He went close to the flower and sniffed. "Yuck, it is smelly!" he said. He made a face and moved away too. + +They wondered why the lily was smelly. They saw a bee flying around the flower. The bee landed on the yellow middle and took some of the yellow stuff. It was pollen. + +"Maybe the bee likes the smelly lily," Anna said. "Maybe the smelly lily gives the bee good pollen." + +"Maybe," Ben said. "But I don't like the smelly lily. I like the roses. They are pretty and sweet." + +They went to the roses and smelled them. They liked the roses. They picked some and gave them to their mom. Their mom was happy and hugged them. + +They managed to have fun in the garden, even with the smelly lily. They learned that different flowers have different smells, and that bees like some of them. They also learned to share their roses with their mom. They were good kids. +Lily and Sam were excited. Today was a special day. They were going to celebrate with their friends. They put on their hats and scarves and went outside. + +They saw many people on the street. They heard music and drums. They saw flags and balloons. They joined the march. They sang and clapped and waved. They felt happy and proud. + +They met their friends at the park. They played on the swings and slides. They shared cookies and juice. They laughed and hugged. They said thank you to their teachers and parents. + +They had a lot of fun. They learned a lot of things. They celebrated a lot of things. They were glad to be together. They said goodbye and see you soon. They went home with smiles and memories. +Lily likes to print pictures on the big machine. She prints flowers and stars and cats. She puts them on the wall in her room. She is happy. + +One day, Mom says Lily has to do a quiz. Lily does not like quizzes. They are hard and boring. She has to write and count and spell. She does not want to do it. + +Mom says Lily has to do the quiz or she will be angry. Lily does not want Mom to be angry. She tries to do the quiz, but she does not know the answers. She feels sad and mad. + +She sees the big machine. She has an idea. She prints a lot of pictures. She prints flowers and stars and cats. She prints so many pictures that the paper runs out. She takes the pictures and puts them on the quiz. She covers all the questions. She smiles. + +She gives the quiz to Mom. Mom looks at the quiz. She sees the pictures. She does not see the questions. She is angry. She says, "Lily, what did you do? This is not a quiz. This is a mess. You have to do the quiz again. And no more printing pictures." + +Lily cries. She says, "But I don't like quizzes. I like printing pictures. They are pretty and fun. Why do I have to do quizzes?" + +Mom sighs. She says, "Lily, quizzes are important. They help you learn and grow. You have to do them sometimes. But you can also print pictures sometimes. Just not too many. And not on the quiz. How about this? You do the quiz now, and then you can print one picture as a reward. OK?" + +Lily thinks. She does not like the idea, but she does not want Mom to be angry. She says, "OK, Mom. I will do the quiz. But can I print a picture of you and me?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "Yes, Lily. You can print a picture of you and me. That would be nice. I love you, Lily." + +Lily says, "I love you, Mom." She does the quiz. She prints a picture of her and Mom. She puts it on the wall in her room. She is happy. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bush with red berries. They ran to the bush and picked some berries. + +"These berries look yummy!" Lily said. + +"Let's eat them!" Tom said. + +They each took a berry and put it in their mouth. But the berries were not yummy. They were sour and bitter. Lily and Tom made a face and spit out the berries. + +"Yuck! These berries are bad!" Lily said. + +"Maybe we can find some good berries," Tom said. + +They looked around and saw another bush with purple berries. They went to the bush and picked some berries. + +"These berries look good!" Tom said. + +"Let's try them!" Lily said. + +They each took a berry and bit it. The berries were sweet and juicy. Lily and Tom smiled and licked their lips. + +"Mmm! These berries are good!" Lily said. + +"Let's share them!" Tom said. + +They each had two berries in their hand. They split one berry in half and gave the other half to their friend. Then they ate the other berry. + +"Thank you for sharing!" Lily said. + +"Thank you for being my friend!" Tom said. + +They hugged and ate the rest of the berries. They were happy and full. They had found the best berries in the park. +Sara was sad. She missed her grandma. Grandma lived in a distant place, far away from Sara's home. Sara could not see her grandma because of the bad bug that made people sick. Sara wanted to hug her grandma and play with her. + +One day, Sara found a note in the mail. It was from her grandma. The note had a picture of a flower and a heart. It said: "Dear Sara, I love you very much. I miss you too. I hope you are happy and healthy. I will see you soon. Love, Grandma." + +Sara smiled. She felt happy. She ran to her mom and showed her the note. "Look, mom, a note from grandma! She loves me and misses me!" + +Mom hugged Sara and said: "That's wonderful, Sara. Grandma is very sweet. She thinks of you a lot. Do you want to write a note back to her?" + +Sara nodded. She got some paper and crayons. She drew a picture of herself and her mom. She wrote: "Dear Grandma, I love you very much. I miss you too. I am happy and healthy. I hope you are too. I can't wait to see you. Love, Sara." + +Sara put the note in an envelope and gave it to mom. Mom said: "That's a beautiful note, Sara. Grandma will be very happy to get it. You are very kind. Thank you for writing to her." + +Sara felt proud. She said: "You're welcome, mom. Thank you for helping me. I love you and grandma." +Sara and Ben were playing in the park with their dog, Spot. They liked to throw a ball and watch Spot run and catch it. Spot was very fast and smart. He always brought the ball back to them. + +One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. They wondered what was inside. They went closer and looked. They saw something white and hard. It looked like a stick, but it was not a stick. It was a bone. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. "It's a bone! Maybe it's from a dinosaur!" + +Sara was frightened. She did not like dinosaurs. She thought they were scary and mean. She grabbed Ben's hand and said, "Let's go away! I don't want to see a dinosaur!" + +Ben laughed. He was not frightened. He liked dinosaurs. He thought they were cool and strong. He picked up the bone and said, "Don't be scared, Sara. It's not a dinosaur bone. It's a dog bone. Spot can explain." + +He called Spot and showed him the bone. Spot wagged his tail and licked the bone. He liked bones. He knew they were good to chew and bury. He barked and looked at Sara and Ben. + +"See?" Ben said. "Spot says it's a dog bone. He wants to play with it. Can we keep it, Sara?" + +Sara looked at Spot and the bone. She saw that Spot was happy and not scared. She felt better. She smiled and said, "Okay, Ben. We can keep it. But only if you share it with Spot. He found it first." + +Ben nodded. He gave the bone to Spot and said, "Good boy, Spot. You can have the bone. But let us throw it sometimes. It's fun to play with you." + +Spot barked and ran with the bone. Sara and Ben followed him. They played in the park until it was time to go home. They had a good day. They learned something new. They had a bone, a dog, and each other. They were happy. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys, but they do not like to share. One day, they have a big fight over a red car. Tom wants the car, but Mia has it first. They pull and push and yell. + +"Give me the car! It is mine!" Tom says. + +"No, it is mine! I had it first!" Mia says. + +They are so loud that their mom hears them. She comes to their room and sees the mess. She is not happy. + +"Stop fighting, Tom and Mia! You have to sort your toys and put them away. You have enough toys for both of you. If you cannot share, you cannot play." Mom says. + +Tom and Mia do not want to stop playing, but they do not want to make mom angry. They start to sort their toys. They make two piles: one for Tom and one for Mia. They put the car in the middle. They look at each other and feel sorry. + +"I am sorry, Tom. You can have the car. I have a blue bike." Mia says. + +"I am sorry, Mia. You can have the car. I have a green truck." Tom says. + +They hug and smile. They decide to share their toys and play together. Mom sees them and is happy. She brings them a snack: two cookies and two glasses of milk. They are delicious. Tom and Mia say thank you and enjoy their snack. They are good twins. +Tom has a pet dog named Spot. Spot is his best friend. They like to play and run and cuddle. But one day, Spot gets sick. He does not want to eat or drink or play. He only lies on his bed and makes sad noises. Tom is very worried. He loves Spot very much. + +Tom's mom takes Spot to the vet. The vet is a nice person who helps animals. The vet looks at Spot and gives him some medicine. He tells Tom and his mom that Spot has a bad tummy. He says that Spot needs to rest and drink water and eat some special food. He says that Spot will heal soon. + +Tom and his mom take Spot home. They make a cozy place for him in the living room. They give him water and the special food. The food is tasty. Spot likes it. He eats a little bit and drinks some water. He looks at Tom and wags his tail. Tom is happy. He sits next to Spot and pets him gently. He says, "I'm glad you're feeling better, Spot. You're my good boy. I love you." Spot licks Tom's face. He loves Tom too. They both smile. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the big house. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then said, "Ready or not, here I come!" + +She looked in the living room, the kitchen, and the bathroom, but she could not find Ben. She heard a noise from the hall and ran to see. She saw Ben's feet sticking out from behind a big vase. He was hidden, but not very well. + +Lily marched to the vase and said, "I found you, Ben! You are not a good hider!" + +Ben came out from behind the vase and said, "Oh, no! You are a good seeker, Lily! How did you find me?" + +Lily said, "I saw your feet, silly! Next time, hide them too!" + +Ben said, "OK, let's play again. This time, I will be the seeker and you will be the hider. Maybe you can find a better place to hide than me!" + +Lily said, "OK, let's play again. But be careful with the vase. It is Mommy's favorite and she will be mad if we break it!" + +They agreed and ran to find new places to hide and seek. They had fun playing in the big house. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the old jeep. It was in the yard behind their house. The jeep was red, but it had many brown spots. It was rotting. The jeep did not work, but Tom and Lily pretended it did. They made noises like the engine and the horn. + +One day, Tom and Lily saw a new jeep in the street. It was shiny and blue. It had no brown spots. It worked. Tom and Lily wanted to see the new jeep. They ran to the street and waved at the driver. + +"Hello, can we see your jeep?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, kids, come on in. It's a new jeep. I just bought it yesterday." The driver said. He smiled and opened the door. + +Tom and Lily climbed into the new jeep. It was clean and soft. It had many buttons and lights. Tom and Lily touched them and made them beep and flash. + +"Wow, this jeep is so cool!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is. Do you like jeeps?" The driver asked. + +"Yes, we do. We have a jeep too. It's in our yard. It's red." Tom said. + +"Really? Can I see it?" The driver asked. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They got out of the new jeep and ran to their yard. They showed the driver their old jeep. It was dirty and hard. It had no buttons or lights. It was rotting. + +"This is your jeep?" The driver asked. + +"Yes, it is. We play in it every day. It's fun." Tom said. + +The driver looked at the old jeep. He felt sad. He remembered when he had a jeep like that. It was his first jeep. He loved it. But he had to sell it when it stopped working. He missed it. + +"Your jeep is very special, kids. It has a lot of stories. It was once new and shiny, like mine. But it has lived a long time. It has seen many places and people. It has been your friend. You should take good care of it. Don't let it rot. It might be old, but it's not lonely. It has you." The driver said. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They hugged the driver. They thanked him for showing them his new jeep. They said goodbye. They went back to their old jeep. They played in it again. They made noises like the engine and the horn. They were happy. They loved their jeep. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big tunnel made of wood. It had a hole at each end. They wanted to go inside. + +"Let's play in the tunnel!" said Tom. He ran to the hole and crawled in. He saw the light at the other end. He smiled and shouted, "Come on, Lily!" + +Lily was worried. She did not like dark places. She did not know what was in the tunnel. She walked slowly to the hole and looked in. She saw Tom's feet. She heard his voice. + +"Lily, where are you? It's fun in here!" said Tom. + +Lily took a deep breath. She wanted to be brave. She wanted to play with Tom. She pushed her body into the hole and crawled after him. She felt the wood under her hands and knees. She saw the light get bigger and bigger. + +She reached the other end and saw Tom's face. He was happy. He gave her a hug. + +"You did it, Lily! You went through the tunnel!" he said. + +Lily felt proud. She went through the tunnel. She was not scared anymore. She smiled and hugged Tom back. + +"Let's do it again!" she said. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys of different colors and shapes. Mom said they had to sort their toys before dinner. Sort means to put things that are the same together. + +"Let's sort our toys by color," Ben said. "I will take the red ones and you take the blue ones." + +"OK," Lily said. "But what about the yellow ones and the green ones?" + +"We can make another pile for them," Ben said. "Or we can share them." + +They started to sort their toys by color. They put the red ones in a big box, the blue ones in a basket, the yellow ones in a bag and the green ones on a step. A step is a part of the stairs that you walk on. + +They worked hard and fast. They wanted to finish before dinner. They were almost done when they heard Mom call them. + +"Ben, Lily, dinner is ready. Come and wash your hands." + +"OK, Mom," they said. They looked at their toys. They had sorted them all by color. They felt happy and proud. + +"We did it," Ben said. "We sorted our toys by color. We are successful." + +"Successful means we did a good job," Lily said. "I like sorting toys. It is fun." + +They ran to the bathroom to wash their hands. They left their toys on the floor, in the box, in the basket, in the bag and on the step. They hoped Mom would not mind. They would put them away later. +Lila and Ben were restless. They did not want to nap. They wanted to play outside. But it was raining hard. The rain made big puddles and a swamp in the yard. + +"Let's go splash in the swamp!" Ben said. He put on his boots and coat. Lila followed him. She liked to splash too. + +They ran outside and jumped in the swamp. They felt the water soak their feet and legs. They laughed and shouted. They made waves and bubbles. They saw frogs and snails. They had fun. + +But then they heard Mom call. "Lila! Ben! Come inside! You are wet and dirty!" + +They stopped splashing. They looked at each other. They did not want to go inside. They wanted to stay in the swamp. + +"Please, Mom, can we play a little more?" Lila asked. + +"No, you can't. You will catch a cold. Come inside now. You need to dry off and change your clothes. And then you need to nap. You are tired from playing in the swamp." Mom said. + +Lila and Ben sighed. They walked back to the house. They took off their boots and coat. They dried off and changed their clothes. They lay down on their beds. They closed their eyes. They dreamed of the swamp. +Lily and Ben are playing in their room. They have many toys, but they like to pretend they are spies. They use a phone to talk to each other and hide under the bed or behind the curtains. + +"Ben, Ben, can you hear me?" Lily whispers into the phone. "I have a very important mission for you. You have to peek out of the window and see if there is a bad guy outside." + +"OK, Lily, I will do it. But you have to be very quiet and not let Mom or Dad hear us. They think we are napping." Ben whispers back. He crawls to the window and lifts the curtain a little bit. He sees a man walking on the street with a big bag. + +"Lily, Lily, I see a bad guy. He has a big bag. Maybe he stole something. We have to stop him." Ben says into the phone. + +"Good job, Ben. You are a very brave spy. But how can we stop him? We are too small and he is too big." Lily says. + +"I have an idea. We can call the police. They can catch the bad guy and take him to jail." Ben says. + +"That is a very good idea, Ben. But we have to be very careful. We can't use our phone. Mom and Dad will hear us. We have to use their phone. It is in their room." Lily says. + +"OK, Lily, let's go. But we have to be very sneaky and not make any noise. We are the best spies ever." Ben says. + +They put down their phone and tiptoe to their parents' room. They open the door and see their phone on the nightstand. They reach for it, but they hear a voice. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing in our room?" It is Mom. She is standing in the doorway with Dad. They look surprised and a little angry. + +Lily and Ben drop the phone and look at each other. They are caught. They are not spies anymore. They are in trouble. +Tom and Mia liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big dollhouse. The dollhouse had many rooms, furniture, and dolls. Tom and Mia liked to pretend they were the dolls and make up stories. + +One day, they saw a new toy in the shop. It was a magic wand that could shrink things. Tom and Mia wanted the magic wand very much. They asked their mom if they could buy it. Their mom looked at the price. It was very high. She said no, they had enough toys already. + +Tom and Mia were sad. They went back to their dollhouse and played. But they could not stop thinking about the magic wand. They wished they could shrink themselves and live in the dollhouse. They thought it would be more fun and lively. + +They did not know that the magic wand was not a toy. It was a real wand that belonged to a witch. The witch had left it in the shop by mistake. She was looking for it everywhere. She was very angry and wanted it back. + +She found the shop and saw Tom and Mia playing with their dollhouse. She saw that they liked the wand. She had an idea. She sneaked into the shop and took the wand. She pointed it at Tom and Mia and said a spell. Tom and Mia felt a strange tingling. They looked at each other and screamed. They were shrinking! They became smaller and smaller until they fit inside the dollhouse. The witch laughed and ran away with the wand. + +Tom and Mia were scared. They did not know what to do. They were trapped in the dollhouse. They called for their mom, but she could not hear them. They hoped that someone would find them and help them. They wished they had never seen the magic wand. +Anna and Ben like to play with bottles. They have many bottles of different colors and sizes. They use the bottles to build towers and bridges and castles. They have fun making different shapes and sounds with the bottles. + +One day, they find a big bottle in the kitchen. It is green and shiny and has a cork on top. They wonder what is inside the bottle. They ask their mom if they can play with it. + +"Be careful with that bottle," mom says. "It has mild vinegar inside. It is for cooking, not for playing. You can look at it, but don't open it or spill it." + +Anna and Ben nod and take the bottle to their room. They put it on the floor and admire it. They think it would make a good roof for their castle. They try to lift it, but it is too heavy for them. They push it, but it rolls away from them. + +"Let's roll it to the castle," Ben says. "Maybe we can make it stand up there." + +"Okay," Anna says. "But we have to be gentle. We don't want to break the bottle or the castle." + +They roll the bottle slowly and carefully across the room. They reach the castle and try to put the bottle on top. But the bottle is too big and round. It does not fit on the castle. It wobbles and falls down. It hits the floor with a loud bang. The cork pops out and the mild vinegar splashes everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Anna and Ben cry. "We made a mess!" + +They hear mom coming to their room. They look at each other and feel sorry. They know they did not listen to mom. They know they have to say sorry and help clean up. They hope mom will not be too angry with them. They hope they can still play with bottles later. +Tom and Lily liked to sail their toy boats in the pond. They made them from paper and sticks and gave them names. Tom's boat was Blue and Lily's boat was Pink. They pretended they were captains and had adventures. + +One day, they saw a big duck swimming in the pond. It was dark and had a long neck. It looked at their boats and quacked. Tom and Lily were scared. They thought the duck wanted to eat their boats. + +"Go away, duck!" Tom shouted. "These are our boats, not your food!" + +But the duck did not go away. It swam closer and closer to Blue and Pink. Tom and Lily tried to pull their boats back, but the duck was faster. It reached Blue and snapped it with its beak. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Lily cried. "You broke Tom's boat!" + +The duck did not care. It quacked again and swam towards Pink. Lily held her boat tight and ran away from the pond. Tom followed her. + +They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She saw their sad faces and their torn boat. + +"What happened, my loves?" she asked. + +"A bad duck ate our boats!" Tom said. + +"We were sailing and having fun, and then it came and ruined everything!" Lily said. + +Mom hugged them and kissed their heads. + +"I'm sorry, my loves. That duck was not very friendly. Maybe it was hungry or lonely. But it was not a meeting. A meeting is when you talk and share and be nice. Like we do with our friends." + +"Can we make new boats, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Of course, my loves. We have more paper and sticks at home. And maybe we can find another pond, where there are no bad ducks. Or maybe we can sail our boats in the bathtub. How does that sound?" + +Tom and Lily smiled and nodded. + +"That sounds good, mom. Thank you. We love you." + +"I love you too, my loves. Now let's go home and make new boats. And maybe some cookies too. How does that sound?" + +"That sounds even better, mom!" Tom and Lily said. + +They held their mom's hand and walked away from the pond. They still liked to sail, but they did not like bad ducks. They liked meetings, but only with nice people. And they liked cookies, but only with mom. +Lila and Ben liked to play in the living room. There was an enormous rug on the floor that was soft and colorful. They pretended it was a magic carpet that could fly to different places. + +One day, their mom gave them a bottle of polish and a cloth. She said they could polish the table and the chairs and make them shiny. Lila and Ben thought that was a fun game. They sprayed the polish on the wood and rubbed it with the cloth. + +"Look, Ben, the table is so shiny now!" Lila said. "I can see my face in it!" + +"Me too!" Ben said. "Let's polish the chairs too!" + +They polished the chairs and made them shiny as well. They were having so much fun that they did not notice their mom had left the room. They decided to polish something else. + +"What about the rug?" Lila said. "Maybe we can make it shiny too!" + +"Good idea!" Ben said. "Let's spray some polish on it!" + +They sprayed the polish all over the rug and tried to rub it with the cloth. But the rug was too big and too fluffy. The polish made it wet and sticky. It did not look shiny at all. It looked messy. + +"Oh no!" Lila said. "The rug is ruined!" + +"What do we do?" Ben said. "Mom will be mad!" + +They heard their mom coming back to the living room. They quickly hid the bottle of polish and the cloth under the couch. They hoped she would not see the rug. + +But she did. She saw the wet and sticky rug and the polish stains on it. She was not happy. + +"Lila and Ben, what did you do?" she said. "Why did you polish the rug?" + +Lila and Ben looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They felt sorry for what they did. They wished they had not polished the rug. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a big doll that she liked very much. Ben had a small car that he liked very much. They were happy and shared their toys. + +But then, Anna saw Ben's sweater on the couch. It was blue and soft and had a picture of a dog on it. Anna wanted the sweater. She said to Ben, "Give me your sweater. It is mine now." + +Ben was surprised and sad. He said, "No, Anna. This is my sweater. Mom gave it to me. It is not yours. You have your own sweater." + +Anna did not listen. She was selfish. She grabbed the sweater from the couch and put it on. It was too big for her and dragged on the floor. She said, "I don't care. I like this sweater. It is better than yours." + +Ben was angry and hurt. He said, "Anna, you are not nice. You are not my friend. You have to release my sweater. Give it back to me." + +Anna did not release the sweater. She held it tight and ran away. She tripped on the sweater and fell down. She hurt her knee and cried. + +Ben heard her cry and ran to her. He saw her knee was bleeding. He felt sorry for her. He said, "Anna, are you okay? Do you need a band-aid?" + +Anna looked at Ben. She saw his face was kind and worried. She felt ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was wrong. I was selfish. I don't need your sweater. You can have it back." + +She released the sweater and gave it to Ben. Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Anna. I forgive you. You are my friend. Do you want to play with me?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, Ben. I want to play with you. Can I play with your car?" + +Ben said, "Of course, Anna. You can play with my car. And I can play with your doll. We can share our toys." + +They hugged and played together. They were happy and not selfish. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big purple saw near the fence. It was shiny and had many teeth. + +"Wow, look at that saw!" Sara said. "It is so big and purple. I want to touch it." + +"No, Sara, that is not a toy. It is for cutting wood. It can hurt you," Ben said. He was older and knew more things. + +But Sara did not listen. She ran to the saw and tried to stand on it. She wanted to see how it felt. She put her foot on the saw and slipped. The saw cut her leg and made her bleed. She cried out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts!" Sara said. She was scared and in pain. + +Ben ran to Sara and helped her get off the saw. He wrapped his scarf around her leg to stop the blood. He called for help. + +"Help, help! Sara is hurt. She needs a doctor," Ben said. + +A man who worked in the park heard Ben and came to them. He saw Sara's leg and called an ambulance. He told Ben he was brave and smart to help Sara. + +The ambulance came and took Sara to the hospital. Ben went with her. He held her hand and said he was sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. I should have stopped you. I hope you get better soon," Ben said. + +Sara looked at Ben and smiled. She was still in pain, but she was glad he was with her. + +"It's okay, Ben. You are a good friend. Thank you for helping me," Sara said. + +They hugged and waited for the doctor. They learned a lesson. They would never play with a saw again. +Tom was a fisherman. He liked to spend his days on his boat, catching fish. He had a big net and a rod. He sold some fish at the market and kept some for himself. + +One day, Tom was very hungry. He had not caught many fish that morning. He looked at his net and saw only one small fish. He thought, "This is not enough for me. I need more fish." + +He decided to use his rod and try to catch a bigger fish. He threw his line into the water and waited. He waited and waited, but nothing happened. He felt sad and bored. + +Then, he heard a splash. He looked at his line and saw it was moving. He pulled hard and saw a huge fish. It was bigger than his boat. He was very happy and surprised. He said, "Wow! What a fish! This is enough for me and more. I can sell it for a lot of money and buy many things." + +But the fish was not happy. It did not want to be caught. It thrashed and twisted and tried to get away. It pulled Tom's line and dragged his boat. Tom was scared and shouted, "Help! Help! This fish is too strong for me. I can't control it." + +He wished he had kept the small fish and let the big fish go. He learned a lesson. Sometimes, more is not better. Sometimes, enough is enough. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, balls, and books. But their room is messy. Mom says they have to sort their toys and put them away. + +Tom and Lily start to sort their toys. Tom puts the cars in a blue box and the balls in a red box. Lily puts the dolls in a pink basket and the books on a shelf. They have fun sorting their toys. + +But they have a problem. They both want the same toy: a star. The star is shiny and yellow. It makes a loud sound when you press a button. It says "Twinkle, twinkle, little star". Tom and Lily both love the star. + +"I want the star!" Tom says. + +"No, I want the star!" Lily says. + +They both grab the star and pull. The star makes a loud sound. Mom hears the sound and comes to their room. + +"What is going on?" Mom asks. + +"Tom and Lily point at each other and say "He/she wants my star!" + +Mom looks at the star and smiles. She has an idea. + +"Why don't you share the star?" Mom says. "You can take turns playing with it. Or you can play with it together. The star is big enough for two." + +Tom and Lily think about it. They don't want to fight. They want to play. They nod and say "Okay". + +They give the star to Mom. Mom presses the button and the star makes a loud sound. It says "Twinkle, twinkle, little star". Tom and Lily sing along with the star. They hug each other and Mom. They are happy. They have sorted their toys and shared their star. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a jar of jam on a bench. They are hungry and want to eat the jam. + +"Can we have some jam?" Anna asks Ben. + +"Yes, let's have some jam. But we have to share," Ben says. + +They open the jar and use their fingers to scoop out the jam. They lick the jam and smile. It is sweet and sticky. + +"Yum, this jam is good," Anna says. + +"Who do you think left the jam here?" Ben wonders. + +"Maybe someone forgot it. Or maybe someone was kind and wanted to give us a treat," Anna guesses. + +They eat some more jam until the jar is almost empty. Then they hear a voice. + +"Hey, that's my jam! Give it back!" the voice says. + +They look up and see a man running towards them. He looks angry and mean. + +"Oh no, we have to go!" Ben says. + +They grab the jar and run away. They are scared and sorry. + +"Sorry, mister, we didn't know it was your jam!" Anna shouts. + +They keep running until they find a safe place to hide. They hug each other and breathe hard. + +"That was close. Are you okay?" Ben asks Anna. + +"I'm okay. Are you okay?" Anna asks Ben. + +"I'm okay. But I feel bad. We shouldn't have taken the jam. It was wrong," Ben says. + +"I feel bad too. We should say sorry to the man. Maybe he will forgive us," Anna says. + +They look at the jar. There is a little bit of jam left. + +"Maybe we can give him back the jam. And maybe we can share something else with him. Like a cookie or a flower. Maybe he will be happy then," Ben says. + +"That's a good idea. You are very kind, Ben," Anna says. + +"You are very kind too, Anna," Ben says. + +They smile and hold hands. They decide to go back to the park and find the man. They hope he will be kind too. +Anna and Ben were playing hide and seek in the living room. Anna was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben ran to the window and hid behind the curtain. He hoped Anna would not find him there. + +Anna looked around the room. She saw the sofa, the table, the lamp, and the toys. She did not see Ben. She thought he was very good at hiding. She said, "Where are you, Ben? I can't find you!" + +Ben heard Anna's voice. He wanted to answer, but he knew he had to remain quiet. He did not want to give away his hiding spot. He peeked through the curtain and saw Anna walking towards the window. He felt scared. He wished he had picked a better place to hide. + +Anna reached the window. She saw the curtain was open a little bit. She wondered what was behind it. She pulled the curtain aside and saw Ben's face. She shouted, "I found you, Ben! You were hiding behind the curtain!" + +Ben jumped out from behind the curtain. He smiled and said, "You got me, Anna! You are a good seeker!" He gave Anna a hug and said, "Let's play again. This time, you hide and I seek!" + +Anna nodded and said, "OK, Ben. Let's play again. But don't look while I hide!" She ran to find a new hiding spot. Ben closed his eyes and counted to ten. He was happy to play with his sister. He loved hide and seek. +Anna likes to wash her bus. Her bus is big and yellow and has many seats. She uses a hose and a sponge and makes her bus shiny and clean. She is proud of her bus. + +One day, a new bus comes to the school. The new bus is small and red and has only a few seats. It looks different from the other buses. Anna is curious about the new bus. + +She goes to the new bus and says hello. The new bus says hello back. Anna asks, "Why are you so small and red? You are not normal like the other buses." + +The new bus says, "I am not normal, I am special. I can go faster and turn easier than the other buses. I can take children to special places that the other buses cannot. I am a fun bus." + +Anna thinks for a moment. She says, "That sounds nice, but I like my bus. My bus is normal and big and yellow. It can take many children to school and back. It is a safe bus." + +The new bus says, "That is okay, we can be different and still be friends. Do you want to wash me? I am a bit dirty from the road." + +Anna smiles and says, "Yes, I want to wash you. You are a nice bus. Come, I will show you my hose and my sponge." + +Anna and the new bus go to the washing area. They wash each other and have fun. They become good friends. They learn that normal and special are both good. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes the ball went too far and they had to search for it in the grass or behind a tree. + +One day, the ball went over the fence and into the street. Lily and Ben ran to the fence and looked for the ball. They saw a big truck with a bright red color and a loud siren. It was a fireman truck. The firemen were going to a house that had smoke and fire. + +"Wow, look at the fireman truck!" Ben said. "It is so bright and noisy. I want to be a fireman when I grow up." + +"Me too," Lily said. "But where is our ball?" + +They saw their ball under the fireman truck. It was dirty and flat. They felt sad. They wanted their ball back. + +"Excuse me, fireman," Lily said. "Can we have our ball, please?" + +One of the firemen heard Lily and looked under the truck. He saw the ball and smiled. He picked up the ball and gave it to Lily. + +"Here you go, little girl," he said. "I'm sorry your ball got hurt. But you are very brave to ask for it. Do you like fireman trucks?" + +"Yes, we do," Lily and Ben said. "Thank you, fireman. You are very kind." + +The fireman nodded and winked. He got back on the truck and drove away with the other firemen. Lily and Ben waved goodbye. They were happy to have their ball back. They decided to play somewhere else, away from the street. They still liked fireman trucks, but they liked their ball more. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But then they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards them. Tom and Lily were scared. + +"Help!" Lily cried. "The dog is big and loud!" + +Tom grabbed Lily's hand and ran to a bench. He saw a blanket on the bench. He picked it up and covered them with it. He hoped the dog would not see them. + +"Shh, Lily," Tom whispered. "Maybe the dog will go away." + +They heard the dog sniffing and growling. They felt the dog's nose touch the blanket. They held each other and closed their eyes. + +"Hey, boy, come here!" a voice said. It was a man. He had a leash in his hand. He pulled the dog away from the bench. "Sorry, kids, he's just curious. He won't hurt you. He's a normal dog." + +Tom and Lily peeked from under the blanket. They saw the man and the dog walking away. They sighed with relief. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, Tom, I'm okay," Lily said. "Thank you for covering us. You are brave." + +They smiled and hugged. Then they got up and continued to play. They had fun in the park. They forgot about the dog. +Lily and Ben are playing in the living room. They have many toys, but they like the red carpet best. The red carpet is soft and big. They can roll on it, jump on it, and make shapes with it. + +"Look, Lily, I can make a star!" Ben says. He lies on the carpet and spreads his arms and legs. "Can you make a star too?" + +Lily tries to make a star. She lies on the carpet and moves her arms and legs. But she is not good at making a star. Her arms and legs are not straight. She looks like a blob. + +"No, Ben, I can't make a star. I can make a blob!" Lily says. She laughs. "Do you like my blob?" + +Ben looks at Lily's blob. He thinks it is funny. He laughs too. "Yes, Lily, I like your blob. It is a nice blob. But can you make something else?" + +Lily thinks. She wants to make something else. She gets up and looks at the carpet. She sees a corner of the carpet that is loose. She has an idea. + +"Ben, I can make a tent!" Lily says. She pulls the corner of the carpet and makes a flap. She crawls under the flap and invites Ben to join her. "Come, Ben, let's go inside the tent!" + +Ben likes the idea of a tent. He crawls under the flap and joins Lily. They are happy in their tent. They pretend they are camping in the woods. They tell stories and sing songs. They forget about the star and the blob. They only care about the tent. The red carpet is their tent. +Anna and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They want to make a cake, but they do not have a recipe. They take out many things from the cupboard: flour, sugar, eggs, butter, milk, and chocolate. They put them all in a big bowl and mix them with a spoon. + +"Look, we have cake batter!" Anna says. "Now we need to bake it in the oven." + +Ben nods and opens the oven door. He sees a tray with cookies inside. "Mama made cookies!" he says. "Can we have some?" + +Anna shakes her head. "No, we have to wait for Mama. She will be angry if we touch her cookies. We have to use another tray for our cake." + +She looks around and sees a small tray on top of the cupboard. It is very high and hard to reach. She has an idea. She drags a chair to the cupboard and climbs on it. She stretches her arm and tries to grab the tray. + +"Be careful, Anna!" Ben says. "You might fall!" + +Anna does not listen. She wants to get the tray. She pulls it with her hand, but it is heavy and slippery. She loses her balance and falls off the chair. The tray falls with her and makes a loud noise. The cake batter spills all over the floor. + +"Ouch!" Anna cries. "That hurts!" + +Ben runs to her and helps her up. He sees that she has a scratch on her knee and a bump on her head. He feels sorry for her. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," he says. "Are you okay?" + +Anna nods and wipes her tears. She looks at the mess on the floor and feels sad. She thinks that Mama will be very angry with them. + +"Maybe we should clean up," she says. + +Ben agrees. He finds a cloth and a mop and starts to wipe the floor. Anna helps him. They work fast and try to make the kitchen look nice again. + +They hear the door open and Mama's voice. "I'm home, kids! I brought you a surprise!" + +Anna and Ben smile and run to the door. They hug Mama and say hello. They hope that she will not notice the cake batter on their clothes and hair. + +"What's the surprise, Mama?" Anna asks. + +Mama smiles and shows them a big box. "It's a cake! I bought it from the bakery. It has chocolate and cream and sprinkles. Do you want some?" + +Anna and Ben's eyes light up. They love cake. They forget about their failed cake and their scratches and bumps. They thank Mama and follow her to the table. They cut the cake and eat it with spoons. It is delicious and sweet. + +They are happy and full. They think that Mama is the best. They do not tell her about their kitchen adventure. They decide to keep it a secret. +Lila and Tom are at the beach with Mom and Dad. They like to play in the sand and make castles. They also like to splash in the water and look for shells. Sometimes they see fish and crabs. + +One day, they find a big shell on the shore. It is pink and shiny and has a hole. They wonder what is inside. They put their ears to the hole and listen. + +"Hello, hello, hello," they hear a voice say. It sounds funny and echoey. + +"Who are you?" Lila asks. + +"I am a sea snail," the voice says. "I live in this shell. It is my home." + +"Wow, a sea snail!" Tom says. "Can we see you?" + +"Sure, but be gentle," the voice says. "I am very small and shy." + +Lila and Tom carefully lift the shell and look inside. They see a tiny creature with a spiral shell and a long foot. It has two eyes on stalks and a mouth. It is cool and slimy. + +"Hello, sea snail," they say. "You are very pretty." + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you," the sea snail says. "You are very nice." + +They talk to the sea snail for a while. They ask him about his life in the sea and he tells them about his friends and food. They tell him about their life on the land and he listens with interest. + +They have fun and learn a lot. They feel happy and curious. They make a new friend. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. + +One day, they find a big bottle of oil in the garage. They do not know what oil is, but it looks shiny and slippery. They think it will make their cars and trucks go faster and smoother. They pour some oil on the floor and on their toys. + +"Look, Lila, my red truck is sliding on the oil!" Tom says. He smiles and pushes his truck with his hand. + +"Wow, Tom, that looks fun!" Lila says. She smiles and picks up her yellow car. She puts some oil on it and lets it go. It zooms across the floor and bumps into Tom's truck. + +They laugh and clap their hands. They pour more oil on the floor and on their toys. They have a lot of fun sliding and crashing their cars and trucks. + +But soon, they make a big mess. The oil spills on the floor, on the walls, on the books, and on their clothes. It is sticky and smelly. They do not like it anymore. They want to clean it up, but they do not know how. + +They hear a noise. It is Mom. She comes into the garage and sees the mess. She is not happy. She is angry. + +"Lila! Tom! What have you done?" Mom says. She frowns and shakes her head. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to play with oil. We thought it would make our cars and trucks go faster and smoother. But it made a big mess. We do not know how to clean it up." Lila and Tom say. They are sad and scared. + +Mom sighs and calms down. She knows they did not mean to make a mess. She knows they are curious and playful. She loves them. + +"It's okay, Lila and Tom. I know you were trying to have fun. But oil is not for playing. It is for machines and engines. It can be dangerous and harmful. You have to be careful and ask before you use something you do not know." Mom says. She smiles and hugs them. + +"Can you help me clean up the mess?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, Mom. We will help you. We want to be helpful." Lila and Tom say. They smile and nod. + +They get some rags and soap and water. They work together to wipe and wash the oil from the floor, the walls, the books, and their clothes. It takes a long time, but they do a good job. + +Mom is proud of them. She thanks them for being helpful. She gives them a kiss and a cookie. + +They are happy. They learned a lesson. They do not play with oil anymore. They play with cars and trucks without oil. They still have a lot of fun. +Lily liked to play dress-up with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna, who was a queen. Lily liked to put a crown on Anna's head and a long dress on her body. She pretended that Anna was the ruler of a big castle and had many friends. + +One day, Lily decided to make a tea party for Anna and her other dolls. She put a tablecloth on the floor and some cups and plates on it. She filled the cups with water and the plates with cookies. She invited all her dolls to sit around the table and have some tea. + +"Hello, everyone. Welcome to my tea party. I am Lily, and this is Anna, the queen. She is very nice and pretty. Please, have some tea and cookies," Lily said. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are very kind and sweet. I like your tea and cookies very much," Anna said. + +Lily smiled and poured some more water into Anna's cup. She noticed that Anna's dress was very tight around her waist. She wondered if Anna was comfortable in it. + +"Anna, do you like your dress? It is very tight. Does it hurt you?" Lily asked. + +Anna looked at her dress and shook her head. "No, Lily. I like my dress. It is not tight. It is just right. It makes me feel like a real queen. I recommend you to try it on. You will look very beautiful in it," Anna said. + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked Anna's dress, but she was not sure if it would fit her. She was bigger than Anna, and her dress was smaller than hers. She was afraid that it would be too tight and rip. + +"Are you sure, Anna? I don't want to break your dress. It is very nice and you love it very much," Lily said. + +Anna nodded and smiled. "Don't worry, Lily. My dress is very strong and stretchy. It will not break. It will fit you perfectly. Trust me. I am a queen. I know these things," Anna said. + +Lily trusted Anna. She was a queen, and she was her friend. She decided to try on Anna's dress. She took off her own dress and put on Anna's dress. She pulled it over her head and down her body. It was very tight. She could barely breathe. She looked at herself in the mirror. She did not look very beautiful. She looked very silly. + +"Anna, I don't like your dress. It is too tight. I can't move. I can't breathe. I want to take it off. Please, help me," Lily said. + +Anna looked at Lily and gasped. She saw that her dress was too tight for Lily. She felt sorry for her. She had made a mistake. She had not recommended the right dress for Lily. She had been selfish. She wanted to keep her dress for herself. She had not been a good queen or a good friend. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. My dress is not right for you. It is right for me. You have your own dress. It is very pretty and comfortable. You look very beautiful in it. Please, forgive me. I will help you take off my dress. I will never recommend it to you again," Anna said. + +Lily nodded and smiled. She forgave Anna. She knew that Anna was sorry. She knew that Anna was still her friend. She let Anna help her take off her dress. She put on her own dress. She felt much better. She hugged Anna and thanked her. + +"Thank you, Anna. You are still my friend. You are still a nice and pretty queen. I like you very much. Let's have some more tea and cookies," Lily said. + +Anna hugged Lily and thanked her. "Thank you, Lily. You are still my friend. You are very kind and sweet. I like you very much. Let's have some more tea and cookies," Anna said. + +They had some more tea and cookies. They laughed and talked. They played dress-up with their other dolls. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and draw pictures. They also like to eat snacks. One day, they have some cookies and milk for snack time. The cookies are delicious. They are sweet and crunchy. + +Anna has three cookies. Ben has two cookies. Ben wants more cookies. He looks at Anna's cookies and says, "I want your cookies. Give me your cookies. You have too many cookies." + +Anna does not like Ben's words. She says, "No, these are my cookies. You have your own cookies. You are being mean. You are teasing me." + +Ben does not listen. He tries to grab Anna's cookies. Anna holds them tight. She says, "Stop it, Ben. You are not nice. You are not my friend." + +Ben feels sorry. He sees that Anna is sad and angry. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I was wrong. I was teasing you. I don't need your cookies. You can have your cookies. Can we still be friends?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She says, "Okay, Ben. I forgive you. You can be my friend. But you have to be kind. You have to share. And you have to say please and thank you." + +Ben nods. He says, "Okay, Anna. I will be kind. I will share. And I will say please and thank you. Can I have some milk, please?" + +Anna smiles. She says, "Yes, you can have some milk, thank you. And you can have one of my cookies, too. But only one. Because I have three cookies and you have two cookies. And three and two make five. And five is a big number." + +Ben smiles, too. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. And you are smart. You know numbers. And cookies are delicious." +Lily and Sam liked to play with their toy boats. They had a big tub of water in the backyard, and they would sail their boats on it. Sometimes they made waves with their hands, and sometimes they blew on the sails. + +One day, Lily and Sam saw a big poster on the wall. It showed a picture of a subway. A subway was a train that went under the ground. Lily and Sam wanted to see a subway. They asked their mom if they could go. + +"Sure, we can go to the subway station," their mom said. "But we have to take the bus first." + +Lily and Sam got on the bus with their mom. They looked out the window and saw many cars and people and buildings. They also saw a pretty park with flowers and trees. They wished they could play there. + +The bus stopped at the subway station. Lily and Sam followed their mom down the stairs. They heard a loud noise and saw a bright light. It was the subway train. It was long and shiny and had many doors and windows. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. + +"Can we ride on it?" Sam asked. + +"Yes, we can," their mom said. "But we have to buy tickets first." + +Their mom bought three tickets from a machine. She gave one to Lily and one to Sam. They put their tickets in a slot and went through a gate. They walked to the platform and waited for the train. + +The train came and stopped. The doors opened and people got out. Lily and Sam got in with their mom. They found a seat and looked around. They saw more people and more windows. They also saw a map with many colors and names. + +"Where are we going?" Lily asked. + +"We are going to the museum," their mom said. "It has many things to see and learn." + +"Like what?" Sam asked. + +"Like dinosaurs and stars and paintings and more," their mom said. + +Lily and Sam smiled. They were excited to see the museum. They liked the subway. It was fast and fun and different. They wondered what else they would see on their trip. +Anna liked to play hide and seek with her big brother Tom. One day, they were playing in the house while Mom was making lunch. Tom counted to ten and then looked for Anna. He checked under the bed, behind the sofa, and in the closet, but he could not find her. + +"Where are you, Anna?" he called out. "I give up!" + +Anna giggled. She had found a good hiding spot in the kitchen. She had climbed on a chair and opened the cupboard above the sink. She crawled inside and closed the door. It was dark and cozy in there. She had a toy bear and a book to keep her company. + +She heard Tom come into the kitchen. He looked in the fridge, in the oven, and in the trash can, but he still could not find her. He scratched his head and sighed. + +"Anna, are you here?" he asked. "Please come out. I'm hungry and Mom says lunch is ready." + +Anna decided to surprise him. She pushed the cupboard door open and rose up. She shouted, "Boo!" + +Tom jumped and screamed. He saw Anna's smiling face and her toy bear. He laughed and hugged her. + +"You scared me, Anna!" he said. "You are very good at hiding. How did you get up there?" + +Anna pointed to the chair and the cupboard. She said, "I climbed and crawled. It was dark and fun. But I'm hungry too. Let's go eat lunch." + +Tom nodded and helped her down. They ran to the table and joined Mom. They told her about their game and ate their sandwiches. Anna and Tom were happy. They loved to play hide and seek. +Lila liked to look at the books on the shelf in her room. They had many colors and pictures. Some books were old and some were new. Lila's favorite book was ancient. It had a brown cover and yellow pages. It was a book about flowers. + +One day, Lila opened the ancient book and saw a big surprise. There was a real flower inside the book. It was purple and white and smelled sweet. Lila touched the flower gently. It was soft and smooth. How did the flower get in the book? Lila wondered. + +She ran to show the flower to her mom. "Mom, look what I found in the book!" Lila said. "It's a flower!" + +Mom looked at the flower and smiled. "That's a beautiful flower, Lila. Do you know what kind of flower it is?" + +Lila shook her head. "No, Mom. What is it?" + +Mom took the ancient book and opened it. She pointed to a word on the page. "This is the name of the flower. It's a violet. It's a very special flower. It can bloom even in the cold and the dark. Someone must have put it in the book a long time ago to keep it safe." + +Lila nodded. She liked the violet. She wanted to keep it safe too. She asked Mom, "Can I put the flower back in the book, Mom? I don't want it to die." + +Mom hugged Lila and said, "Of course, you can, Lila. That's a very kind thing to do. The flower will be happy in the book. And you can look at it anytime you want." + +Lila smiled. She put the flower back in the book and closed it gently. She put the book on the shelf and gave it a kiss. She felt happy. She had a secret friend in the ancient book. A friend that could bloom. +Lily and Max went to the theater with Mom and Dad. They were very excited to see a show with songs and jokes and costumes. They sat in big chairs and waited for the show to start. + +"Look, Max, there are lights and curtains and people on the stage!" Lily said, pointing with her finger. + +"I see, Lily, they are going to make us laugh and sing!" Max said, clapping his hands. + +The show started and Lily and Max watched with big eyes and open mouths. They liked the show very much. They laughed at the funny parts and sang along with the songs. They saw animals and princesses and pirates and clowns. They felt very happy and cheerful. + +But the show was also very long. After a while, Lily and Max started to feel tired. They rubbed their eyes and yawned. They leaned on Mom and Dad and cuddled with them. + +"Are you sleepy, Lily?" Mom asked, stroking her hair. + +"A little bit, Mom. But I like the show," Lily said, yawning again. + +"Me too, Mom. But I want to go home and sleep," Max said, yawning louder. + +Mom and Dad smiled and hugged them. They said they were proud of them for being good and enjoying the show. They said they would go home soon and tuck them in bed. They said they loved them very much. + +Lily and Max smiled and said they loved them too. They closed their eyes and fell asleep in their arms. They dreamed of the show and the theater and the cheerful songs. They were very happy. +Tom and Anna were adventurous kids. They liked to explore new places and try new things. One day, they found a big bottle of wine in the kitchen. They did not know what wine was, but it looked like juice. + +"Let's drink some wine!" Tom said. "Maybe it is yummy!" + +Anna was not sure. She remembered that Mom and Dad sometimes drank wine, but they never let them have any. "I don't know, Tom. Maybe wine is not for kids. Maybe it is bad for us." + +Tom did not listen. He opened the bottle and took a big sip. He made a funny face and spat out the wine. "Blech! This is not juice! This is sour and bitter and nasty!" + +Anna laughed. She was glad she did not drink the wine. She saw Mom and Dad coming into the kitchen. They looked angry. + +"Tom! Anna! What are you doing with our wine?" Mom asked. "You know you are not allowed to touch that!" + +Tom and Anna felt sorry. They knew they did something wrong. They said sorry to Mom and Dad and promised not to do it again. + +Mom and Dad hugged them and said they loved them. They explained that wine was a special drink for grown-ups, and that it could make kids sick or sleepy. They said they should always ask before they try something new. + +Tom and Anna learned their lesson. They decided to be adventurous in other ways, like playing outside, reading books, or making art. They never touched the wine again. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to make different shapes with the blocks. Lily makes a square with four blocks. Ben makes a circle with many blocks. + +"Look, Lily, I made a circle!" Ben says. "It is round and smooth." + +"Wow, Ben, your circle is very nice!" Lily says. "Look, I made a square! It has four sides and four corners." + +They are happy with their shapes. Then they see a new block. It is yellow and has three sides and three corners. They have never seen a block like that before. + +"What is this?" Lily asks. "It is not a square or a circle." + +"It is a triangle!" Ben says. "I learned about triangles at school. They have three sides and three corners, like this block." + +"Can we make a shape with the triangle?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, we can!" Ben says. "Let's try!" + +They put the triangle on the floor. Then they look for more triangles. They find two more triangles. They are blue and red. They put them next to the yellow triangle. They make a bigger triangle with the three triangles. + +"Look, Lily, we made a big triangle!" Ben says. "It is colorful and pretty." + +"Wow, Ben, our triangle is very nice!" Lily says. "It is organized and neat." + +They are happy with their triangle. They hug each other and smile. They like to play with blocks and make shapes. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. Mom is making soup on the stove. She tells them to be careful and not touch the stove. It is very hot and can hurt them. + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "Okay, Mom." They walk around the kitchen and look for things to play with. They find some spoons and pots and pans. They pretend to make their own soup. They stir and bang and laugh. + +Mom smiles and says, "You are very good at making soup, Lily and Ben. Do you want to taste my soup?" She turns off the stove and pours some soup into two bowls. She blows on them to make them cool. + +Lily and Ben walk to the table and sit down. They take their spoons and try the soup. They make yummy noises and say, "This is very good soup, Mom. Thank you!" + +Mom hugs them and says, "You are very welcome, Lily and Ben. You are very good children. I love you very much." +Anna is a big girl who likes to do things by herself. She is independent. She can dress herself, brush her teeth, and make her bed. She does not need help from her mom or dad. + +One day, Anna goes to the park with her mom. She sees a boy playing with a ball. His name is Ben. Anna likes Ben. She thinks he is funny and nice. She wants to play with him. + +"Hi, Ben. Can I play with you?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, Anna. You can play with me. Do you like my ball?" Ben says. + +"Yes, I like your ball. It is red and shiny. Can I throw it?" Anna says. + +"Yes, you can throw it. But be careful. Don't throw it too far or too hard." Ben says. + +Anna and Ben play with the ball. They have fun. They laugh and run and catch. They are happy. + +"Ben, you are my friend. I like you a lot." Anna says. + +"Anna, you are my friend too. I like you a lot too." Ben says. + +"Ben, do you want to marry me?" Anna says. + +"Marry you? What does that mean?" Ben says. + +"It means we are together forever. We live in the same house. We share our toys. We hug and kiss. We are a family." Anna says. + +"Oh, I see. That sounds nice. But I don't know if I can marry you. I am only three years old. I think we are too young to marry." Ben says. + +"But I want to marry you. You are my favorite. Please, Ben, say yes." Anna says. + +"Anna, I like you a lot. But I don't think we can marry. Maybe when we are older. Maybe when we are six or seven. Then we can marry. OK?" Ben says. + +"OK, Ben. I will wait for you. But you have to promise me. Promise me you will marry me when we are older." Anna says. + +"OK, Anna. I promise. I will marry you when we are older. But for now, can we just play?" Ben says. + +"OK, Ben. We can just play. But don't forget your promise. You are my future husband." Anna says. + +Anna and Ben hug and kiss. They are happy. They play with the ball. They are friends. They are independent. But they also love each other. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They had a jar to keep the bugs in. They wanted to see them better. + +They found a big rock with many holes. They lifted the rock and saw many ants. Lily said, "Look, Ben, ants! They are very busy. Let's put some in the jar." + +Ben nodded and opened the jar. He tried to catch some ants with his hand, but they were too fast and tickled him. He dropped the jar and it rolled away. "Oh no, Lily, the jar is gone!" + +Lily ran after the jar. She saw it stop near a fence. She picked it up and saw something shiny inside. She said, "Ben, come here, I found something!" + +Ben came and looked at the jar. He saw a coin with a star on it. He said, "Wow, Lily, this is a lucky coin! Maybe it will make our wishes come true." + +Lily smiled and said, "Maybe. What do you wish for, Ben?" + +Ben thought for a moment and said, "I wish for more jars. They are very useful. We can keep more bugs and coins and other things in them." + +Lily nodded and said, "That's a good wish, Ben. I wish for that too. And I wish for more rocks. They are fun to lift and see what's under them." + +They hugged the jar and the coin and made their wishes. Then they went back to the garden to look for more rocks and jars and bugs and flowers. They were very happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they saw some big clouds in the sky. They heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They felt some drops of water on their faces. It was rain. + +"Let's go home!" Anna said. "We don't want to get wet!" + +"OK!" Ben said. "Where is our mother?" + +They looked around and saw their mother sitting on a bench. She was reading a book. She had an umbrella. + +"Mother! Mother!" Anna and Ben shouted. They ran to her. + +"Hello, my loves!" their mother said. "Are you ready to go home?" + +"Yes, mother!" Anna and Ben said. "It is raining and thundering!" + +Their mother smiled and opened her umbrella. She held their hands and they walked to their car. + +They got in the car and their mother turned on the heater. It was warm and cozy. + +"Did you have fun in the park?" their mother asked. + +"Yes, mother!" Anna and Ben said. "We played with our ball!" + +"That's good!" their mother said. "But now it is time to return home. We can play again another day." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They were happy to return home with their mother. They liked their home. It was cool and safe. They loved their mother. She was kind and sweet. +Anna was shy. She did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her toys and books at home. One day, her mom said they had to go to the park. Anna did not want to go. She was scared of the big kids and the loud noises. + +"Come on, Anna, it will be fun. You can make new friends and see new things," her mom said. + +Anna shook her head. She held her mom's hand tight. She did not want to let go. + +At the park, Anna saw a boy with a red ball. He was smiling and bouncing the ball. He saw Anna and ran to her. + +"Hi, I'm Ben. Do you want to play with me?" he asked. + +Anna did not say anything. She hid behind her mom's leg. She did not understand why he wanted to play with her. She did not know him. + +Ben did not give up. He held out his ball to Anna. + +"Look, this is my ball. It is red and round and soft. You can bounce it and catch it and roll it. It is fun. Do you like it?" he said. + +Anna looked at the ball. It was red and round and soft. She liked it. She reached out her hand and touched it. It felt nice. + +Ben smiled. He let go of the ball and let Anna hold it. + +"See, it is yours now. You can play with it. Do you want to play with me?" he asked again. + +Anna looked at Ben. He was smiling and friendly. He did not look scary. She liked him. She nodded her head. + +Ben clapped his hands. He took Anna's hand and led her to the grass. + +"Yay, let's play. We can be friends. What is your name?" he asked. + +Anna smiled. She said her name. + +"I'm Anna. I'm shy. But I like you and your ball," she said. + +Ben hugged her. + +"I'm glad. I'm not shy. But I understand. Sometimes I feel shy too. But not with you. You are nice and sweet. We can be friends," he said. + +Anna and Ben played with the ball. They had fun. They laughed and talked and shared. Anna was not shy anymore. She understood that Ben was a good friend. She was happy. Her mom was happy too. She watched them play and smiled. She was proud of Anna. +Ben did not like the dark. He was scared of the dark. He wanted to sleep with the light on. But his mom said no. + +"Ben, you have to sleep in the dark. It is good for you. The dark is not scary. It is just quiet and calm. You have your teddy bear and your blanket. They will keep you safe and warm. And I am right next door. If you need me, you can call me. OK?" his mom said. + +"But mom, the dark is boring. I can't see anything. I can't play with my toys. I can't read my books. I can't do anything. I want to stay up and have fun. Please, mom, can I have the light on?" Ben said. + +"No, Ben, you have to sleep in the dark. It is time for bed. You need to rest and dream. Tomorrow you can play and read and do anything you want. But now you have to mind me and sleep in the dark. I love you, Ben. Good night." his mom said. + +She kissed him and turned off the light. She left the room and closed the door. Ben felt sad and lonely. He hugged his teddy bear and his blanket. He tried to close his eyes and sleep. But he could not. He heard noises in the dark. He saw shadows on the wall. He imagined monsters and ghosts and bad things. He was scared of the dark. He wanted his mom. + +He called out, "Mom, mom, I don't like the dark. I want the light on. Please, mom, come back. I need you." + +His mom heard him and came back. She opened the door and turned on the light. She saw Ben crying and shaking. She felt sorry for him. She went to his bed and hugged him. + +"Ben, what's wrong? Why are you crying? What did you hear? What did you see? What did you imagine?" she asked. + +"Mom, I heard noises in the dark. I saw shadows on the wall. I imagined monsters and ghosts and bad things. I was scared of the dark. I want the light on. Please, mom, don't leave me. I need you." Ben said. + +"Ben, there are no noises in the dark. There are no shadows on the wall. There are no monsters and ghosts and bad things. They are only in your mind. You can make them go away. You can think of happy things. You can think of your toys and your books and your friends. You can think of me and your dad and your sister. You can think of anything you like. The dark is not scary. The dark is your friend. The dark helps you sleep and dream. The dark is not boring. The dark is full of wonders. You can have fun in the dark. You can make up stories and songs and games. You can use your imagination. You can be anything you want. Do you want to try?" she said. + +Ben looked at his mom. He saw her smile and her eyes. He felt her love and her warmth. He trusted her. He nodded his head. He said, "OK, mom, I will try. I will sleep in the dark. I will think of happy things. I will use my imagination. I will have fun in the dark. Thank you, mom. I love you, mom. Good night." + +She kissed him and turned off the light. She left the room and closed the door. Ben felt happy and brave. He hugged his teddy bear and his blanket. He closed his eyes and slept. He dreamed of happy things. He had fun in the dark. He did not mind the dark. He liked the dark. The dark was his friend. The end. +Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big horn on the ground. It is bright and shiny. Tom wants to play with it. + +"Look, Mia, a horn! I want to blow it!" Tom says. + +He picks up the horn and puts it to his mouth. He blows hard, but nothing happens. He tries again, but still no sound. + +"This horn is broken!" Tom says. He is angry. He throws the horn on the grass. + +Mia picks up the horn. She likes how it looks. She wants to keep it. + +"No, Tom, don't throw it! It is a nice horn. I want it!" Mia says. + +She hugs the horn and runs away. Tom runs after her. He wants the horn back. + +"Give me the horn, Mia! It is mine!" Tom says. + +He catches up with Mia and tries to grab the horn. Mia holds on tight. They pull and tug. The horn slips from their hands and flies in the air. + +The horn lands on a big ball. The ball is red and bouncy. The horn makes a hole in the ball. The air comes out of the ball. The ball goes flat. + +"Oh no, the ball!" a voice says. + +Tom and Mia look up. They see a boy standing near the ball. He is sad. He likes his ball. He does not like the horn. + +"Who did this? Who broke my ball?" the boy says. + +He sees Tom and Mia. He thinks they did it. He is angry. He picks up the horn and runs towards them. + +"Hey, you! You broke my ball! I will kick you!" the boy says. + +Tom and Mia are scared. They do not want to be kicked. They run away. They leave the horn and the ball behind. + +They run to their mom. She is sitting on a bench. She is reading a book. She sees them. + +"What happened, Tom and Mia? Why are you running?" mom says. + +Tom and Mia tell mom what happened. They tell her about the horn, the ball, and the boy. Mom listens. She is not happy. + +"That was not nice, Tom and Mia. You should not throw things. You should not take things. You should not break things. You should say sorry to the boy. You should give him the horn. Maybe he can fix his ball." mom says. + +Tom and Mia nod. They know mom is right. They feel bad. They go back to the park. They look for the boy. They find him. He is still holding the horn. He is still sad. + +"Hi, boy. We are sorry. We did not mean to break your ball. We were playing with the horn. We did not know it was sharp. Here, you can have the horn. Maybe you can use it to fix your ball." Tom says. + +The boy looks at Tom and Mia. He sees they are sorry. He is not angry anymore. He smiles. + +"Thank you, Tom and Mia. That is very nice of you. I forgive you. Maybe I can use the horn to patch my ball. Or maybe I can blow it and make some noise. Do you want to play with me?" the boy says. + +Tom and Mia smile. They say yes. They become friends. They play with the horn and the ball. They have fun. Mom watches them. She is happy. She thinks they learned a lesson. She hopes they will be more careful next time. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had cars, dolls, blocks and books. They made a lot of noise with their toys. They zoomed, crashed, sang and laughed. + +"Shh, shh, shh," said Mom from the kitchen. "You are too noisy. Dad is working in his room. He needs quiet." + +"Sorry, Mom," said Lily and Ben. They tried to play quieter, but they still had fun. + +After a while, Mom came to the living room. She had a big smile and a tray. On the tray, there were cookies and milk. + +"Who wants a snack?" she asked. + +"Me, me, me!" said Lily and Ben. They ran to the tray and grabbed a cookie each. They bit into the cookies and made happy sounds. + +"Yum, yum, yum," they said. + +Mom gave them each a glass of milk. They drank the milk and wiped their mouths. + +"Thank you, Mom," they said. + +"You're welcome, my loves," said Mom. "But now, you have to wash your hands. They are dirty from the cookies and the toys." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They put their toys away and followed Mom to the bathroom. They turned on the faucet and rubbed their hands with soap. They made sure to wash their fingers, too. + +"Look, Mom, our fingers are clean," they said. + +"Good job, Lily and Ben," said Mom. She dried their hands with a towel and gave them a hug. "Now, you can go back to your toys. But remember, be quiet for Dad." + +"Okay, Mom," said Lily and Ben. They went back to the living room and picked up their toys. They played with their toys, but they were not noisy. They whispered, tiptoed, smiled and winked. +Anna and Ben were bored. They had played with all their toys and read all their books. They wanted to do something new and fun. + +"Let's go to the craft room," Ben said. "Maybe we can find something to make." + +"Okay," Anna said. "But we have to be careful. Mom said not to touch her things." + +They went to the craft room and looked around. They saw paper, scissors, paint, glitter, and glue. They also saw some long feathers that Mom used for her hats. + +"Wow, look at these!" Anna said, picking up a feather. "They are so soft and pretty. Can we use them?" + +"Sure, why not?" Ben said. "Let's make some masks. We can cut out some shapes and glue the feathers on them." + +They took some paper and scissors and started to cut. They made circles, triangles, and squares. Then they took some glue and put it on the paper. They stuck the feathers on the glue and made colorful patterns. + +They were having so much fun that they did not hear Mom coming. + +"Anna! Ben! What are you doing?" Mom said, opening the door. She saw the mess on the table and the floor. She saw the glue on their hands and faces. She saw the feathers on their masks and in their hair. + +"We made masks, Mom!" Anna said, showing her mask. "Do you like it?" + +"They are very nice, but you used my feathers!" Mom said. "Those were for my hats. And you made a big mess with the glue. You should have asked me first." + +"We are sorry, Mom," Ben said, looking down. "We were bored and we wanted to make something. We did not mean to ruin your feathers." + +Mom sighed. She was angry, but she also loved her children. She knew they were curious and creative. + +"It's okay, I forgive you," Mom said. "But next time, please ask me before you use my things. And help me clean up this mess. Then we can play with your masks together." + +Anna and Ben hugged Mom and said thank you. They helped her pick up the paper, scissors, glue, and feathers. They put them back where they belonged. Then they put on their masks and pretended to be birds. They wandered around the house, flapping their arms and making noises. Mom smiled and joined them. They had fun and learned a lesson. +Lila was a gifted girl who liked to draw and read. She had many books and papers in her room. One day, she wanted to make a card for her mom's birthday. She looked for a nice paper, but she could not find one. She saw a big book on the shelf. It had a skull on the cover. It looked scary, but Lila was curious. She took the book and opened it. + +The book was full of strange words and pictures. Lila did not understand them, but she liked the colors and shapes. She saw a page that had a skull and a flower. She thought it was pretty. She decided to tear the page and use it for her card. She ripped the page out of the book and folded it in half. She drew a heart and wrote "I love you, Mom" on it. + +She was very proud of her card. She ran to the kitchen to give it to her mom. Her mom was making a cake. She saw Lila with the card and smiled. She took the card and opened it. She gasped when she saw the skull and the flower. She recognized the book. It was her dad's book. It was very old and rare. It was worth a lot of money. She was angry and sad. + +"Lila, what did you do?" she asked. "Where did you get this paper?" + +Lila did not know why her mom was upset. She thought she made a nice card. She said, "I got it from the book on the shelf. The one with the skull. I liked the skull and the flower. I wanted to make you happy." + +Her mom sighed. She hugged Lila and said, "I know you wanted to make me happy, but you should not tear pages from books. Books are precious and important. They have stories and knowledge. They belong to people who love them. You should ask before you take something that is not yours." + +Lila felt sorry. She did not mean to hurt her mom or the book. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I did not know. I will not do it again. Can we fix the book?" + +Her mom said, "I don't know, Lila. The book is very old and fragile. Maybe we can find someone who can help us. But you have to promise me to be more careful and respectful with books. They are not toys. They are treasures." + +Lila nodded. She said, "I promise, Mom. I love you. And I love books too." + +Her mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Lila. And I love your card. It is very creative and thoughtful. Thank you for making it for me. But next time, please use a different paper." + +Lila said, "Okay, Mom. I will. Can we have some cake now?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, we can. Come on, let's go to the table. Happy birthday to me." + +They went to the table and ate some cake. They were happy. But they did not forget about the book. They hoped they could find a way to fix it. +Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big envelope on the grass. It is white and has a red stamp on it. They run to the envelope and pick it up. + +"Who is this for?" Tom asks, looking at the writing on the envelope. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a secret," Mia says, shaking the envelope. + +They hear a loud bark behind them. It is a big dog. The dog is angry and wants the envelope. It runs to Tom and Mia and tries to bite them. + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Mia scream, holding the envelope. + +A man comes to the park. He is the dog's owner. He is deaf and he cannot hear Tom and Mia. He sees the dog and the envelope. He thinks the dog is playing. + +"Good boy, Rex! Good boy!" he says, smiling. + +He takes the envelope from Tom and Mia. He opens it and reads the letter inside. It is from his sister. She says she is sorry for not calling him. She says she loves him and she misses him. + +The man is happy and hugs the dog. He does not see Tom and Mia. They are sad and scared. They run away from the park. + +They kick a can on the way home. They do not want to play with envelopes anymore. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and eat snacks. One day, they find a big box of cookies in the kitchen. The cookies are tasty. They have chocolate and nuts and sugar. + +"Can we have some cookies?" Lila asks Ben. + +"Yes, let's take some cookies," Ben says. "But we have to be quiet. Mom and Dad are in the living room. They do not know we are here." + +Lila and Ben take one cookie each and bite them. They are very yummy. They smile and take another cookie. Then they take another and another. They do not stop until the box is empty. + +"Oh no!" Lila says. "We ate all the cookies. There are zero cookies left. What will Mom and Dad say?" + +Ben looks at the box. He feels bad. He says, "We made a big mistake. We were greedy. We should have shared the cookies. Maybe we can make more cookies. Do you know how?" + +Lila shakes her head. She does not know how to make cookies. She says, "We need flour and eggs and butter and chocolate and nuts and sugar. We do not have those things. We only have toys and books and crayons." + +Ben thinks. He says, "Maybe we can draw some cookies. And write sorry on them. And give them to Mom and Dad. Maybe they will forgive us." + +Lila likes the idea. She says, "Yes, let's do that. Let's draw some cookies. And say sorry. And be good." + +Lila and Ben take some paper and crayons. They draw some cookies. They write sorry on them. They go to the living room. They see Mom and Dad on the couch. They look angry. + +"Mom, Dad, we have something to tell you," Lila says. + +"We ate all the cookies," Ben says. + +"We are very sorry," Lila and Ben say together. + +They give Mom and Dad the paper cookies. Mom and Dad look at them. They see the drawings and the words. They sigh. They hug Lila and Ben. + +"We love you, Lila and Ben," Mom says. + +"We forgive you, Lila and Ben," Dad says. + +"But next time, please ask before you take something," Mom says. + +"And share with others," Dad says. + +Lila and Ben nod. They say, "We will, Mom and Dad. We will." + +They all smile. They are happy. They are a family. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big dog with a thick fur. The dog is friendly and wags his tail. He has a bone in his mouth. + +"Can I pet the dog?" Lily asks Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe he will bite," Tom says. + +Lily shrugs. She is not afraid of dogs. She walks to the dog and says, "Hello, dog. You are very nice. Can I touch your fur?" + +The dog drops his bone and licks Lily's face. He likes Lily. He lets her pet his fur. + +Tom is surprised. He also wants to pet the dog. He picks up the bone and says, "Hey, dog. Do you want your bone?" + +The dog barks and runs to Tom. He takes the bone from Tom's hand and wags his tail. He likes Tom too. He lets him pet his fur. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They have made a new friend. They play with the dog until it is time to go home. They say goodbye to the dog and give him his bone. + +"Thank you, dog. You are very fun. We hope to see you again," they say. + +The dog barks and wags his tail. He is happy too. He watches them leave and then goes to find a shady spot to chew his bone. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their dolls. They liked to pretend that their dolls were going on adventures in the jungle. They had a big box that they used as a jeep and some leaves and sticks that they used as trees and animals. + +"Look, Ben, I see a leopard!" Lila said, pointing to a yellow and black spotted toy that was lying on the grass. "He is so pretty and fast. Let's go and say hello to him." + +Ben was not sure. He had heard that leopards were wild and dangerous. He did not want to get hurt by the leopard's sharp teeth and claws. He held his doll close to his chest and said, "No, Lila, I don't think that is a good idea. Leopards are not friendly. They might bite us or scratch us. We should stay away from him." + +Lila did not listen to Ben. She was curious and brave. She left her doll in the box and walked slowly towards the leopard. She smiled and said, "Hello, leopard. My name is Lila and this is my friend Ben. We are playing in the park. Do you want to play with us?" + +The leopard looked at Lila with his big green eyes. He was not a real leopard, but a stuffed toy that someone had left behind. He was soft and fluffy and had a bell around his neck. He liked Lila's voice and her friendly face. He did not want to hurt her or scare her. He wanted to play with her and Ben. He lifted his head and made a small purring sound. + +Lila was happy. She reached out her hand and touched the leopard's fur. It was smooth and warm. She said, "You are so delicate, leopard. You are not scary at all. You are very nice. Can I hug you?" + +The leopard nodded and let Lila hug him. He felt her heartbeat and her breath. He liked being hugged. He rang his bell and made another purring sound. + +Ben saw that Lila and the leopard were getting along well. He felt silly for being afraid. He decided to join them. He left his doll in the box and walked slowly towards them. He said, "Hi, leopard. I'm sorry for being scared of you. You are not bad. You are very cute. Can I pet you?" + +The leopard nodded and let Ben pet him. He felt his hand and his smile. He liked being petted. He rang his bell and made another purring sound. + +Lila and Ben were happy. They had made a new friend. They said, "We love you, leopard. You are the best. Can we take you home with us?" + +The leopard nodded and let them take him. He was happy too. He had found a new home. He rang his bell and made a loud purring sound. + +The end. +One day, Sam and Mia went to the park with their mom. They saw a big fountain with water and coins. Sam wanted to throw a penny in the fountain and make a wish. He asked his mom for a penny, and she gave him one. + +"Be careful, Sam. Don't get too close to the water," mom said. + +Sam nodded and walked to the edge of the fountain. He held the penny in his hand and thought of a wish. He wished for a new bike. He closed his eyes and threw the penny in the water. + +Splash! + +The penny landed in the water and made a sound. Sam opened his eyes and smiled. He hoped his wish would come true. + +Mia saw what Sam did and wanted to do the same. She asked her mom for a penny, and she gave her one. + +"Be careful, Mia. Don't get too close to the water," mom said. + +Mia nodded and walked to the edge of the fountain. She held the penny in her hand and thought of a wish. She wished for a new doll. She closed her eyes and threw the penny in the water. + +Splash! + +The penny landed in the water and made a sound. Mia opened her eyes and smiled. She hoped her wish would come true. + +But then, Mia saw something shiny in the water. It was another penny. Someone else had thrown it in the fountain before. Mia wanted to get it. She reached out her hand and tried to grab it. + +"Stop, Mia! That's not yours!" Sam said. + +But Mia ignored Sam. She did not listen to him. She wanted the penny. She leaned over the water and stretched her arm. + +Splash! + +Mia fell in the fountain and got wet. She cried and screamed. Mom ran to her and pulled her out of the water. She wrapped her in a towel and hugged her. + +"Mia, why did you do that? That was silly. You could have hurt yourself," mom said. + +Mia sobbed and said sorry. She realized she was wrong. She did not need the penny. She had her own penny and her own wish. + +Sam felt sorry for Mia. He gave her a hug and said, "It's okay, Mia. I still love you. Maybe we can share our wishes." + +Mia smiled and said, "Thank you, Sam. I love you too. Maybe we can." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's very nice of you, Sam and Mia. I'm proud of you. Now let's go home and get dry." + +They left the park and went home. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful, to be happy with what they have, and to not ignore each other. They were good siblings. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play at the beach. They had a big red surf that they took turns to ride on the waves. Lila was good at surfing, but Ben was not. He often fell off the surf and got wet and salty. + +One day, Lila and Ben went to the beach with their mom and dad. Lila wanted to surf, but Ben wanted to nap. He was tired from waking up early. He found a shady spot under a palm tree and lay down on a towel. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. + +Lila took the surf and ran to the water. She had fun surfing on the waves, but she also wanted to share with Ben. She looked at him and saw that he was napping. She felt envious. She wished she could nap too. She was hot and thirsty. + +She decided to wake Ben up and ask him to surf with her. She ran to the palm tree and shook his shoulder. "Ben, Ben, wake up!" she said. "Let's surf together!" + +Ben opened his eyes and saw Lila. He was not happy. He wanted to nap more. He was still tired. He pushed her away and said, "No, Lila, go away! I don't want to surf. I want to nap!" + +Lila was sad and angry. She grabbed the surf and said, "Fine, Ben, be mean! I don't need you. I can surf by myself!" She ran back to the water and left Ben alone. + +Ben watched her go and felt sorry. He realized he was rude to Lila. He loved his sister and wanted to play with her. He got up and followed her. He said, "Lila, Lila, wait! I'm sorry. I was grumpy. Can we surf together?" + +Lila heard him and turned around. She saw that he was sorry. She smiled and said, "OK, Ben, I forgive you. Come on, let's surf together!" + +They hugged and took the surf to the water. They had fun surfing on the waves, and then they napped together under the palm tree. They were happy. +Mia liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress, and a smile. Mia liked to hug Lily and squeeze her hand. Lily had a button on her hand that made her talk. + +One day, Mia was playing with Lily in her room. She hugged Lily and squeezed her hand. But Lily did not talk. Mia squeezed her hand again and again, but Lily was quiet. Mia felt sad and worried. She looked at Lily's hand and saw something. A small piece of metal was sticking out of Lily's hand. It looked like a needle. Mia touched it with her finger and it hurt. Mia cried out loud. + +Mom heard Mia crying and ran to her room. She saw Mia holding Lily and her finger. She saw the metal piece in Lily's hand. Mom understood what happened. She took Lily from Mia and said, "Oh, Mia, I'm sorry. Lily is broken. Her button is broken and it hurt your finger. Let me see your finger." + +Mom looked at Mia's finger and saw a tiny drop of blood. She kissed Mia's finger and put a band-aid on it. She said, "There, there, Mia. Your finger will be okay. It is just a small ouchie. You are very brave. Do you want to play with another doll?" + +Mia nodded and wiped her tears. She looked at Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I love you. Can you fix her, Mom?" + +Mom smiled and said, "I will try, Mia. Maybe I can find a new button for Lily. But you know what? Lily loves you too, even if she can't talk. She is still your doll and your friend. And you are still my normal, sweet, and smart girl. Come on, let's go downstairs and have a snack. Do you want some juice and cookies?" + +Mia smiled and said, "Yes, please, Mom. Thank you. Can I bring Lily?" + +Mom said, "Of course, Mia. You can bring Lily. She might be hungry too. Let's go." + +Mia hugged Mom and Lily and followed her downstairs. She felt better and happy. She still liked to squeeze Lily's hand, but she was careful not to touch the metal piece. She hoped Mom could fix Lily soon, but she knew Lily was still her favorite doll. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box. It is open. They want to look inside. + +"Maybe there is a toy in the box," Anna says. + +"Or a cake," Ben says. + +They run to the box and peek inside. But there is nothing in the box. Only a note. It says: "This is a trick. There is no toy or cake. Go away." + +Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They do not like tricks. They want the truth. + +"Who did this?" Anna asks. + +"I do not know," Ben says. + +They hear a laugh. It is Tom. He is hiding behind a tree. He is the one who put the note in the box. + +"Ha ha, I tricked you," Tom says. "You are silly." + +Anna and Ben are not silly. They are smart. They have an idea. + +They pretend to cry. They say: "You are right, Tom. You are so clever. You tricked us. We are sorry." + +Tom is happy. He thinks he is clever. He comes out from behind the tree. + +But then, Anna and Ben jump on him. They tickle him. They say: "Ha ha, we tricked you. You are not clever. You are mean. We are not sorry." + +Tom is not happy. He is sad and angry. He does not like to be tickled. He wants them to stop. + +"Stop, stop, please stop," Tom says. + +Anna and Ben stop. They say: "OK, we will stop. But only if you say sorry. And if you promise to not trick us again." + +Tom says sorry. He promises to not trick them again. He learns a lesson. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They are friends. They like the truth. They go to play in the park. They leave the box open. Maybe someone else will look inside. Maybe something will happen. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They wanted to build a big tower that reached the ceiling. They stacked the blocks one by one, making sure they were balanced and steady. + +"Look, Lily, our tower is so high!" Ben said, pointing at their creation. + +"It is, Ben, it is!" Lily agreed, smiling. "But we need more blocks to make it higher. Where can we find more blocks?" + +Ben looked around the room and saw a bottle of shampoo on the coffee table. He had an idea. He grabbed the bottle and ran to the tower. He put the bottle on top of the blocks, hoping it would stay. + +"Ben, what are you doing?" Lily asked, confused. "That is not a block, that is shampoo. Shampoo is for washing your hair, not for building towers." + +But before Lily could say more, the bottle of shampoo tipped over and spilled all over the tower. The blocks became slippery and wet, and the tower collapsed with a loud crash. The shampoo splashed on the floor, the couch, and the kids. + +"Oh no!" Ben cried, looking at the mess. "We ruined our tower and the living room!" + +Lily and Ben heard their mom coming from the kitchen. They knew they were in trouble. They felt embarrassed and scared. They hid behind the couch, hoping their mom would not see them. + +But their mom saw the shampoo and the blocks and the kids. She was not happy. She said in a stern voice, "Lily and Ben, what have you done? This is not how you play with blocks and shampoo. You made a big mess and wasted the shampoo. You need to clean up and apologize right now." + +Lily and Ben came out from behind the couch. They said in a small voice, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to build a big tower, but we made a mistake. We will clean up and not do it again." + +Their mom sighed and shook her head. She said, "I appreciate your apology, but you need to be more careful and responsible. Blocks are for building, shampoo is for washing, and living rooms are for living. Now, help me get some towels and wipe the shampoo off everything." + +Lily and Ben nodded and followed their mom. They learned their lesson and never used shampoo for building again. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big box that they pretend is a house. They put some toys and pillows inside the box. They are having fun. + +"Let's lock the door so no one can come in," Ben says. He finds a stick and puts it across the hole in the box. "Now we are safe and cozy." + +Lily nods and smiles. She likes the box house. She picks up a teddy bear and hugs it. "This is our will," she says. "We can do what we want in our house." + +They play with their toys and make noises. They are happy. + +But then they hear a loud bark. It is Max, the dog. He sees the box and runs towards it. He wants to play too. He pushes the box with his nose. The stick falls off and the hole is wide open. + +"Whoa!" Ben shouts. He sees Max's big head and teeth. He is scared. He drops his toy car and crawls to the back of the box. + +"Go away, Max!" Lily cries. She holds her teddy bear tight and tries to hide behind a pillow. + +Max does not understand. He thinks they are playing a game. He wags his tail and jumps into the box. He licks Ben's face and sniffs Lily's hair. He is happy. + +"Help!" Ben and Lily scream. They want to get out of the box. They do not like Max in their house. They are not happy. +Lila was restless. She did not want to nap. She wanted to play. She looked out the window and saw the sun and the grass and the flowers. She saw a spark in the sky. It was a bird. She wanted to see the bird. + +She got out of bed and put on her shoes. She opened the door and ran outside. She called to the bird. "Hello, bird! Come here, bird!" But the bird did not come. It flew away. Lila was sad. + +She saw a rock on the ground. It was shiny and smooth. She picked it up and threw it in the air. It made a spark when it hit the sun. Lila was happy. She threw the rock again and again. She skipped and laughed. + +She heard a voice. It was Mom. "Lila, where are you? It's time for nap!" Mom sounded angry. Lila was scared. She ran to Mom and hugged her. "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to play. I saw a spark and a bird and a rock." + +Mom smiled and kissed her. "It's okay, Lila. I know you are curious and restless. But you need to rest too. Come on, let's go back to bed. I'll read you a story about a spark and a bird and a rock." Lila nodded and followed Mom. She was tired and sleepy. She snuggled with Mom and listened to the story. She closed her eyes and dreamed of sparks and birds and rocks. +Tom was a clever fisherman. He liked to plan how to catch many fish. He had a big boat, a long net and a loud horn. He knew where the fish liked to swim and when they were hungry. + +One day, he saw a big school of fish near the shore. He said to his friend Sam, who was also a fisherman, "Let's go catch those fish. They look tasty and fat. We can sell them at the market and get a lot of money." + +Sam agreed and they got on their boats. They drove fast to the fish and threw their nets in the water. They pulled the nets and saw many fish inside. They were happy and smiled. + +But then, they heard a roar. It was a big shark. The shark smelled the fish and wanted to eat them. He swam towards the boats and opened his mouth. He bit the nets and tore them apart. The fish escaped and the shark chased them. + +Tom and Sam were scared and angry. They said to each other, "Oh no! The shark ruined our plan. He took our fish. He is mean and greedy. What can we do?" + +Tom thought hard. He had an idea. He said to Sam, "I have a plan. Let's use the horn to trick the shark. We can make him go away and save our fish." + +Sam asked, "How can we do that?" + +Tom said, "We can make the horn sound like a bigger shark. The shark will think there is another shark here and he will be afraid. He will run away and leave us alone." + +Sam said, "That is a clever plan. Let's try it." + +They turned on the horn and made it sound like a bigger shark. They made it loud and scary. The shark heard the horn and stopped. He looked around and saw no other shark. He was confused and curious. He swam closer to the boats and the horn. + +Tom and Sam waited for the right moment. When the shark was near the horn, they turned it off and shouted, "Boo!" + +The shark was surprised and frightened. He thought the boats and the horn were a bigger shark. He turned around and swam away as fast as he could. He did not come back. + +Tom and Sam cheered and clapped. They said to each other, "We did it! We scared the shark away. We are clever fishermen. We can catch our fish again." + +They drove back to the fish and threw their nets again. They caught many fish and put them in their boats. They were happy and proud. They said to each other, "We have a lot of fish. They are tasty and fat. We can sell them at the market and get a lot of money." + +They drove back to the shore and went to the market. They sold their fish and got a lot of money. They bought some ice cream and shared it. They said to each other, "We had a good day. We are clever fishermen. We like to plan." +Lila loved to play in the garden with her fairy friend, Fia. Fia was very small and had wings that sparkled in the sun. She could do magic with her wand and make flowers grow and butterflies fly. Lila and Fia were loyal to each other and always helped each other. + +One day, Lila and Fia were playing hide and seek in the garden. Lila counted to ten and then looked for Fia. She saw a flash of pink behind a rose bush and ran towards it. But when she got there, she saw a big cat with sharp teeth and claws. The cat had Fia in its mouth and was about to snap her in half. + +Lila was very scared, but she loved Fia and wanted to save her. She picked up a stick and hit the cat on the nose. The cat let go of Fia and ran away, hissing and spitting. Lila grabbed Fia and hugged her. Fia was hurt and bleeding, but she was alive. + +"Thank you, Lila, you are my hero," Fia said weakly. + +"I'm sorry, Fia, I'm sorry," Lila said, crying. "You are my best friend, I don't want to lose you." + +"Don't cry, Lila, I'll be okay," Fia said. "You are my best friend, too. You are very brave and loyal. I love you." + +Lila and Fia kissed and cuddled. Then Lila took Fia to her house and asked her mom to help. Her mom was very kind and gentle. She cleaned Fia's wounds and wrapped them with a bandage. She gave Fia some honey and water and put her in a cozy bed. She told Lila and Fia that they were very lucky to have each other and that they should always take care of each other. + +Lila and Fia smiled and nodded. They thanked Lila's mom and snuggled in the bed. They fell asleep, holding hands, dreaming of happy days in the garden. +Lily and Max were ready to go to the pool. They put on their swimsuits and hats and ran to the car. Mom and Dad followed them with towels and sunscreen. + +At the pool, Lily and Max jumped into the water and splashed each other. They laughed and played with the bubbles and the toys. Mom and Dad watched them and smiled. + +"Look, Mom, I can make an angel in the water!" Lily said. She lay on her back and moved her arms and legs up and down. She made a shape like an angel in the snow. + +"That's very good, Lily!" Mom said. "Can you show me how you swim?" + +Lily nodded and flipped over. She kicked her legs and moved her arms like a frog. She swam to the edge of the pool and back. + +"Wow, Lily, you are a great swimmer!" Mom said. "How about you, Max? Do you want to make an angel or swim?" + +Max shook his head. He did not want to make an angel or swim. He wanted to splash. + +"Splash, splash, splash!" Max said. He splashed Lily and Mom and Dad. He splashed the water high in the air. He splashed himself and giggled. + +"Max, you are a silly splasher!" Lily said. She splashed him back. They had a splash fight and had fun. + +Mom and Dad joined them and splashed too. They all got wet and happy. They had a great day at the pool. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big sack near the slide. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tim says. + +"OK!" Mia says. + +They pull the sack. It is heavy. They see many things inside. There are toys, books, clothes, and a blue towel. + +"Wow! Look at all these things!" Tim says. + +"Maybe someone left them here. Can we keep them?" Mia says. + +They hear a voice. It is a man. He is angry. + +"Hey! That's my sack! Give it back!" he says. + +He runs to them. He grabs the sack. He looks at Tim and Mia. He is not happy. + +"Where did you find this? This is mine! I was going to donate it to the charity shop. You can't just take it!" he says. + +Tim and Mia are scared. They did not know it was his sack. They did not want to make him angry. + +"We are sorry, mister. We just wanted to see what was inside. We did not mean to take it. We like your blue towel. It is soft and pretty." Mia says. + +The man calms down. He sees that Tim and Mia are just curious children. He is not angry anymore. He smiles. + +"It's OK. I understand. You can have the blue towel if you want. It is old and I don't need it. But please don't touch other people's things without asking. It is not nice." he says. + +Tim and Mia nod. They say thank you. They take the blue towel. They are happy. They hug the man. They say sorry again. They run to the slide. They use the blue towel as a cape. They pretend to be superheroes. They have fun. +Lia and Sam liked to play on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. One day, they found a big shell that was closed. They wondered what was inside. + +"Maybe it is a pearl," said Lia. + +"Maybe it is a crab," said Sam. + +They tried to open the shell, but it was too hard. They pulled and pushed, but it did not move. + +"Let's leave it here and go get a stick," said Sam. "Maybe we can break it with a stick." + +They ran to find a stick, but when they came back, the shell was gone. They looked around and saw a big bird flying away with the shell in its beak. + +"Hey, that's our shell!" shouted Lia. + +"Come back, bird!" shouted Sam. + +But the bird did not listen. It flew to a rock and dropped the shell. The shell cracked open and the bird saw what was inside. It was an oyster, a soft and slimy thing. + +The bird did not like oysters. It made a face and flew away. + +Lia and Sam saw the oyster on the rock. They ran to it and picked it up. + +"Look, it is an oyster," said Lia. + +"Yuck, it is not fit to eat," said Sam. + +They threw the oyster back into the sea and went to look for another shell. They hoped to find a pearl or a crab. They did not want to find another oyster. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make loud noises with their cars and dolls. They did not know that Mom was working in the next room. She had to write an important email for her boss. + +Mom heard the noise and felt angry. She wanted to tell Sara and Ben to be quiet, but she did not want to scare them. She thought of a way to prevent them from making noise. She took a big blanket and wrapped it around herself. She walked into the living room like a ghost. + +"Boo!" she said in a low voice. + +Sara and Ben saw the blanket ghost and screamed. They dropped their toys and ran to the couch. They hid behind the pillows and peeked at the ghost. + +"Who are you?" Sara asked. + +"I am the ghost of silence," Mom said. "I come to visit children who are too loud. If you want me to go away, you have to be very quiet and say sorry." + +Sara and Ben felt sorry. They did not want to make Mom angry. They also did not want the ghost to stay. They came out from behind the pillows and said in a soft voice, "We are sorry, ghost. We did not know Mom was working. We will be quiet now." + +Mom smiled and took off the blanket. She hugged Sara and Ben and kissed them. She was compassionate and understood that they were just having fun. She said, "Thank you, my sweeties. I love you very much. You can play with your toys, but please be gentle and respectful. And if you need me, just call me. I am not a ghost, I am your Mom." +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play together. Today is Tom's birthday. He has a party at his house. He invites Anna and other friends. + +Anna is happy. She brings a gift for Tom. It is a black car. She thinks Tom will like it. She puts it on the table with other gifts. + +Tom sees the black car. He likes it very much. He picks it up and runs to Anna. He hugs her and says, "Thank you, Anna! This is the best gift ever! I love it!" + +Anna smiles. She is glad Tom likes her gift. She says, "You're welcome, Tom! Happy birthday!" + +They go to play with the black car and other toys. They have fun at the party. They eat cake and sing songs. They yell and laugh. They are happy. +Sara and Tom were going to the airport with Mom and Dad. They were very happy because they were going to fly in a big plane to see Grandma and Grandpa. Mom and Dad said they could choose one toy each to take with them. + +Sara ran to her room and looked at all her toys. She had a lot of toys, but she loved her teddy bear the most. She hugged her teddy bear and said, "You are coming with me, Teddy. You are my best friend and you will keep me warm and cozy on the plane." + +Tom went to his room and looked at all his toys. He had a lot of toys, but he loved his fire truck the most. He picked up his fire truck and said, "You are coming with me, Fire Truck. You are my favorite toy and you will make fun noises and lights on the plane." + +Sara and Tom brought their toys to the living room and showed them to Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad smiled and said, "You made good choices, Sara and Tom. You can take your toys with you, but you have to share them with each other and be nice to other people on the plane." + +Sara and Tom nodded and said, "OK, Mom and Dad. We will share and be nice." They put their toys in their backpacks and got ready to go to the airport. They were very excited and hoped the plane would be perfect. +Tom was a prince who liked to play with his toys. He had many toys, but his favorite was a magic wand that could make things shrink or grow. He liked to shrink his toy soldiers and make them march on his table, or grow his toy dragon and make it roar. + +One day, he was playing with his wand when he saw his sister Lily. Lily was a princess who liked to read books and draw pictures. She had a big book that she was reading in the garden. Tom thought it would be fun to shrink her book and make her look for it. + +He pointed his wand at the book and said, "Shrink!" The book became very small and fell on the grass. Lily looked up and saw Tom with his wand. She was angry and sad. She said, "Tom, what did you do? That was my book! It was a gift from Mom and Dad! Give it back!" + +Tom felt guilty. He knew he had done something bad. He wanted to say sorry, but he was afraid. He ran away with his wand and hid in his room. + +Lily searched for her book, but she could not find it. She cried and cried. She went to Mom and Dad and told them what Tom had done. Mom and Dad were disappointed and worried. They said, "Tom, come here. We need to talk to you." + +Tom heard them and felt more guilty. He knew he had to face them and give back the book. He took his wand and went to the garden. He found the book on the grass and said, "Grow!" The book became big again and he picked it up. He saw Lily, Mom and Dad waiting for him. He walked to them and said, "I'm sorry. I was playing with my wand and I shrunk your book. It was a bad thing to do. Here is your book. Please forgive me." + +Lily took her book and hugged it. She was happy to have it back. She looked at Tom and said, "Thank you for giving back my book. I forgive you. But don't do that again. It's not nice to shrink other people's things." + +Mom and Dad nodded and said, "We're glad you said sorry and fixed your mistake. But you have to be careful with your wand. It's a powerful toy and you have to use it wisely. Don't use it to hurt or annoy others. Use it to have fun and be creative." + +Tom nodded and said, "I understand. I'm sorry. I love you all." He hugged them and said, "Can we still play together?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, we can. But let's play with something else. How about we draw some pictures?" + +Tom agreed and said, "Okay, let's do that. But can I keep my wand?" + +Lily said, "Only if you promise to be good." + +Tom said, "I promise. I'll be good." + +They went to the house and got some paper and crayons. They drew some pictures of their toys and their family. They had fun and forgot about the wand. They were happy. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and pictures. But sometimes they get bored. They want to do something new. + +One day, they have an idea. They find some crayons and paper. They want to make art. They draw many things: flowers, animals, cars, stars. They are very happy. They show their art to each other. + +"Look, Sara, I made a car. It is red and fast. Vroom, vroom!" Ben says. + +"Wow, Ben, your car is nice. Look, I made a flower. It is yellow and pretty. Smell, smell!" Sara says. + +They want to show their art to Mom and Dad. But Mom and Dad are busy. They are working in the kitchen. They are making lunch. They do not have time to look at the art. + +"Mom, Dad, look at our art!" Sara and Ben say. + +"Not now, kids. We are busy. We will look later. Go back to your room and play nicely." Mom and Dad say. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They want Mom and Dad to see their art. They think Mom and Dad do not care. They go back to their room. They are angry. + +They have another idea. They want to make more art. But they do not use paper. They use the wall. They take their crayons and touch the wall. They draw on the wall. They make big and colorful art. They are very happy. They think Mom and Dad will see their art now. + +"Look, Sara, I made a star. It is blue and shiny. Twinkle, twinkle!" Ben says. + +"Wow, Ben, your star is nice. Look, I made a heart. It is pink and sweet. Love, love!" Sara says. + +They finish their art. They are proud. They want to show Mom and Dad. They run to the kitchen. They shout. + +"Mom, Dad, look at our art!" Sara and Ben say. + +Mom and Dad hear them. They stop working. They go to their room. They see the wall. They see the art. They are very surprised. They are not happy. They are angry. + +"Kids, what did you do? You touched the wall with crayons. You made a mess. This is not art. This is bad. You are in trouble." Mom and Dad say. + +Sara and Ben are scared. They do not understand. They think their art is good. They think Mom and Dad are mean. They cry. + +"Mom, Dad, we are sorry. We wanted to show you our art. We wanted you to be happy. We did not know it was bad. Please do not be angry." Sara and Ben say. + +Mom and Dad see their tears. They feel sorry. They hug them. They calm them. + +"Kids, we are sorry too. We were busy. We did not look at your art. We did not see how much you worked. We know you wanted to make us happy. But you cannot touch the wall with crayons. It is not good. It is hard to clean. You have to use paper. You have to ask before you use things. You have to follow the rules. Do you understand?" Mom and Dad say. + +Sara and Ben nod. They understand. They say sorry again. They promise to be good. They help Mom and Dad clean the wall. They take their paper art. They put it on the fridge. Mom and Dad smile. They praise their art. They say it is nice. They say they are proud. They say they love them. + +Sara and Ben smile too. They feel happy. They hug Mom and Dad. They say they love them too. They go to eat lunch. They are hungry. They are friends. They are a family. The end. +Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw a big cart with many colors and smells. The cart had ice cream, cookies, popcorn and juice. Ben and Lily wanted to try everything. + +"Mom, can we have some ice cream?" Ben asked. + +"Mom, can we have some cookies?" Lily asked. + +Mom smiled and said, "You can have one thing each, but you have to listen to me. You have to share, say please and thank you, and not make a mess. OK?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "OK, Mom." + +They went to the cart and looked at all the choices. Ben picked a cone with chocolate ice cream. Lily picked a bag with rainbow cookies. They said please and thank you to the man who gave them their treats. + +They sat on a bench and enjoyed their tasty snacks. Ben licked his ice cream and Lily bit her cookies. They shared with each other and said, "Mmm, this is good." + +Mom watched them and smiled. She was happy that they listened to her and were nice to each other. She said, "I'm proud of you, Ben and Lily. You are good kids." + +Ben and Lily hugged Mom and said, "We love you, Mom. Thank you for the treats." + +They finished their snacks and threw away the trash. They went to play on the swings and slides. They had a fun day at the park. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide on the big steel slide. It was shiny and smooth and fast. But sometimes other kids wanted to slide too, and they had to wait. + +One day, a boy came to the slide. He was bigger than Tom and Lily, and he had a mean face. He pushed Tom and Lily away and said, "This is my slide. Go away!" + +Tom and Lily were scared and sad. They did not want to fight. They looked for another place to play. + +They saw a swing, a seesaw, and a sandbox. They were all interesting, but they were all taken by other kids. Tom and Lily felt lonely and bored. + +Then they saw a small hill. It had grass and flowers and rocks. It looked fun and quiet. Tom and Lily ran to the hill and started to climb. + +They found a big rock that looked like a castle. They pretended to be a king and a queen. They had a lot of fun. + +Then they heard a voice. It was the mean boy. He had followed them to the hill. He said, "What are you doing here? This is my hill. Go away!" + +Tom and Lily were angry and brave. They did not want to leave. They said, "No, this is our hill. We found it first. You go away!" + +The mean boy was surprised and mad. He tried to climb the hill, but Tom and Lily threw rocks and sticks at him. He fell down and hurt his knee. He cried and ran away. + +Tom and Lily cheered and hugged. They had defended their hill. They did not mind the mean boy anymore. They continued to play and have fun. They were happy. +Timmy loved to play with his marbles. He had many marbles of different colors and sizes. He liked to roll them on the floor and make them hit each other. He also liked to show them to his friends and trade them for other toys. + +One day, he found a very special marble in his toy box. It was shiny and blue and had a star inside. He had never seen a marble like that before. He wondered where it came from and what it could do. He decided to keep it for himself and not tell anyone. + +The next day, he took his special marble to school. He wanted to play with it during recess. He put it in his pocket and waited for the bell to ring. He was very excited and happy. + +But when he got to the playground, he saw Billy, the big boy who always took his toys. Billy was famous for being mean and scary. He liked to make other kids cry and give him their things. He saw Timmy and walked towards him. + +"Hey, Timmy, what do you have in your pocket?" Billy asked with a sneer. "Is it something nice? Can I see it?" + +Timmy felt a cold fear in his chest. He tried to hide his pocket with his hand, but Billy was faster. He grabbed Timmy's arm and pulled out the special marble. He held it up to the sun and smiled. + +"Wow, this is a beautiful marble. I've never seen one like this. Where did you get it?" Billy asked. + +"It's mine. Give it back!" Timmy cried. He tried to snatch the marble from Billy, but Billy was stronger. He pushed Timmy away and laughed. + +"No, it's mine now. You can't have it. It's too good for you. You can have this old one instead." Billy said. He threw a dirty and cracked marble at Timmy and ran away with the special one. + +Timmy fell to the ground and picked up the old marble. He felt a hot tear roll down his cheek. He looked at the old marble and felt a deep sadness. He had lost his special marble. He had lost his treasure. + +He started to tremble and sob. He wished he had never brought his special marble to school. He wished he had never met Billy. He wished he had his special marble back. He wished he had a friend. +Lily wanted to play with her new doll, but her brother Max wanted to play with his cars. They both had their own toys, but they also wanted to share the big cushion on the floor. The cushion was soft and cozy, and they liked to sit on it or jump on it. + +"Please, let me have the cushion," Lily said to Max. "My doll needs a bed." + +"No, I need the cushion," Max said to Lily. "My cars need a ramp." + +They both pulled the cushion, but it was too big for them to move. They started to cry and shout. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting over the cushion and felt sad. + +"Why are you fighting, my loves?" she asked them. "You have so many toys to play with. Can't you share the cushion?" + +Lily and Max looked at their mom and then at each other. They both wanted the cushion, but they also loved their mom and each other. They felt sorry for making noise and trouble. + +"Sorry, mom," Lily said. "Sorry, Max." + +"Sorry, mom," Max said. "Sorry, Lily." + +They hugged their mom and then each other. They decided to take turns with the cushion. Lily let Max use it as a ramp for his cars, and Max let Lily use it as a bed for her doll. They played nicely and had fun. + +Their mom smiled and praised them. "You are very patient and kind, my loves," she said. "I'm proud of you.

When the little red cube saw the flower, it wanted to spray it with water. So, it sprayed and sprayed, and the flower got bigger and bigger. + +When the flower was the biggest that it had ever been, the little red cube hopped up and down with joy. It was so happy it had made the flower so big and beautiful. From that day on, the little red cube sprays the flower every day and the flower gets bigger and bigger. +One morning, the sun arrived to light up the sky. A gentle breeze blew through the fields and a vast sea of steam was in the air. + +A family of four were on an adventure. They were looking for something peaceful. The two children peered out of their car window. They were excited to see what they would discover. + +They stopped near a lake and stepped out of the car. The sun shone brightly and the water was like glass. Steam was rising up from it. + +The children were mesmerised. They walked around and watched as the steam made its way up into the air. They were so happy. + +The family spent the day in peace. As the sun set, they arrived back home, tired but content. They had found the peaceful spot they were looking for. +Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved to visit. She visited the beach, the park, and the zoo. Everywhere she went, she had the biggest smile on her head. + +One day she decided to visit a big old mountain. She knew it would be hard to climb, but she was so persistent she just kept trying. She slowly but surely made it to the top. + +At the top of the mountain, she saw something incredible. It was the most beautiful rainbow she had ever seen. She just stood there admiring it for the longest time. + +The little girl was so happy that she kept visiting the mountain every day. She kept getting a little better and better every time. Eventually, she got so good that she reached the top in no time! +Once upon a time, there was a smooth fly. He liked to sit up high in the air. One sunny day he was flying around, spotting all the colours of the land below. Suddenly, something surprised him. It was a wipe! But it kept coming closer and closer. The fly was very scared. He darted in every direction trying to get away from the wipe. But the wipe was too quick. All of a sudden, the swipe and the fly clashed and down the fly fell. The wipe had wiped away the fly's happy flight. + +But, the fly was very brave and he was determined not to give up. He flapped his wings again and flew back up into the air. He was so happy, and determined to continue exploring all the new colours of the world. From then on, the fly was very careful to keep away from any wipes he saw. He enjoyed soaring around. Smoothly flying in the sky. +Once upon a time there lived a little boy. He was called Ed and he loved to play. Every day he played in the park and made lots of friends. + +One day, Ed fell ill. His chest hurt and he needed to take a rest. His mum took him to the hospital and the doctor made a request. The doctor asked for a special test to help Ed's chest to be clear. + +The test was called a lung test. The doctor put a special mask on Ed's face and air was requested to travel down his chest. Ed was scared but he was brave and the test was done quickly. + +The results showed that Ed's lungs were clear and he was so relieved. The doctor smiled and said "Ed, you are all better now!" Ed was so happy to be well again, and he went home to play. +Once there was a cute puppy. His name was Wake. Every morning, Wake's mommy would come in and attach a leash to his collar. Then, they would go for a walk. Wake loved going for walks with his mommy. After their walk, they would come back and Wake would take a big nap! + +Later in the day, they would go to the park. On the way to the park, Wake loved to look at all the other dogs through the window. When they got to the park, Wake would run around and play. After a few hours, his mommy would attach the leash to his collar and they would go back home. + +At night, Wake's mommy would attach a blanket to his bed. This made Wake feel very safe and sleepy. He would cuddle up and drift off to dreamland. + +Wake had a wonderful life. He knew that his mommy would always be there to attach him things and take care of him. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play and sing. One day, they find a new book in the library. The book has many pictures and words. The book is about an opera. + +"What is an opera?" Lila asks. + +"An opera is a story with songs," Ben says. "The people in the opera wear costumes and act on a big stage." + +"Can we make an opera?" Lila says. + +"Yes, we can!" Ben says. "We can use our toys and clothes and make up a story." + +They take the book and some toys and clothes to a corner of the library. They look at the pictures and choose their characters. Lila is a princess and Ben is a knight. They use a scarf as a crown and a stick as a sword. They make up a story about a dragon and a castle. + +They sing and act their story. They have fun and make a lot of noise. The other children in the library watch them and clap. The librarian smiles and says, "You have made a very nice opera. You have completed your opera. Well done!" + +Lila and Ben are happy. They bow and say, "Thank you!" They put back the book and the toys and the clothes. They hug and say, "We are good opera makers. We are good friends." +Lily and Tom were jolly squirrels who liked to play in the park. They liked to run, jump, climb and swing on the trees. They also liked to find nuts and hide them in their nests for winter. + +One day, they saw a big pile of nuts under a tree. They ran towards it, excited and hungry. They wanted to eat some nuts and prepare some for later. + +"Look, Lily, so many nuts!" Tom said. "Let's take some and share with our friends." + +"Good idea, Tom," Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Maybe someone else left them here." + +They looked around, but they did not see anyone. They thought it was safe to take some nuts. They picked up some nuts and put them in their mouths. They were crunchy and tasty. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. It was a big bear, who was angry and hungry. He had left the nuts there as a trap for other animals. He saw the squirrels and wanted to catch them. + +"Hey, you little thieves!" the bear shouted. "Those are my nuts! Give them back or I will eat you!" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped the nuts and ran away as fast as they could. They dodged the bear's paws and teeth and climbed up a tree. They hoped the bear would not follow them. + +"Phew, that was close!" Tom said. "Are you okay, Lily?" + +"I'm okay, Tom," Lily said. "But that was not fun. That was a mean bear. He tricked us with his nuts." + +"Yes, he did," Tom said. "But we are smarter than him. We escaped and we still have some nuts in our nests. Let's go back and eat them with our friends." + +"Okay, Tom," Lily said. "But next time, let's be more careful. Not all nuts are good nuts." + +They nodded and hugged each other. Then they jumped from tree to tree, back to their nests. They were still jolly squirrels, but they learned a lesson. They never took nuts from strangers again. +Lila and Max were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that their grandma had. They found a big box with a lock. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Maybe there are toys or jewels or books," Lila said. + +"Or maybe there are spiders or rats or ghosts," Max said. + +They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They tried to open the box with their hands, but it was too hard. They were sad. + +Then, Lila had an idea. She saw a hammer on the floor. She picked it up and hit the lock with it. Bang! Bang! Bang! The lock broke and the box opened. + +"Wow!" Lila and Max said together. + +Inside the box, there were many things. There were clothes and hats and shoes and bags. They were all made of velvet. Velvet was soft and shiny and pretty. There were also pictures and letters and cards. They were all old and yellow and faded. + +Lila and Max took out the things and tried them on. They felt like they were in a different time. They pretended to be kings and queens and princes and princesses. They had fun. + +Then, Lila found something incredible. It was a necklace with a big blue stone. It sparkled and glowed in the light. Lila put it on and looked at herself in a mirror. + +"I look like a fairy," she said. + +"You do," Max said. "Can I see it?" + +Lila gave him the necklace. He looked at it closely. He realized something. + +"Lila, look," he said. "There is a name on the back of the stone. It says 'Anna'." + +"Anna?" Lila said. "Who is Anna?" + +They looked at each other. They remembered that their grandma's name was Anna. They wondered if the necklace was hers. They wondered if she knew about the box. They wondered if she would tell them a story. + +They ran downstairs with the necklace and the box. They wanted to ask their grandma. They wanted to know more. They wanted to learn. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Sara brings a new toy to Tom's house. It is a big map of the world. It has many colors and shapes. Sara says, "Look, Tom, this is my new toy. It is a map of the world. It shows all the nations. A nation is a place where many people live. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom looks at the map. He sees many nations. He sees red, blue, green, yellow, and more. He thinks the map is very pretty and fun. He says, "Yes, Sara, I want to play with you. The map is very nice. Can you show me the nations?" + +Sara smiles. She points to the map. She says, "This is our nation. It is called Canada. It is very big and cold. It has many trees and animals. This is your nation. It is called India. It is very warm and colorful. It has many people and spices. This is my nation. It is called China. It is very old and rich. It has many mountains and dragons." + +Tom listens to Sara. He learns about the nations. He likes to hear about the different places. He says, "Wow, Sara, you have two nations. That is very cool. I only have one nation. I wish I had two nations like you." + +Sara sees Tom's face. He looks sad and envious. She does not want Tom to be sad and envious. She likes Tom. She says, "Tom, you do not have to be sad and envious. You have one nation, but it is very special and beautiful. I like your nation. I want to visit your nation someday. And you can visit my nations too. We can share our nations. We are friends." + +Tom hears Sara. He feels better. He does not feel sad and envious anymore. He feels happy and grateful. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are very kind and smart. I like your nations too. I want to visit your nations someday. And you can visit my nation too. We can share our nations. We are friends." +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play in the yard. They have a big box of toys. Some toys are old and some are new. + +One day, Sam finds a furry bear in the box. He likes the bear. He hugs it and says, "This is my bear. He is soft and warm." + +Ben sees the bear and wants it too. He says, "No, this is my bear. I saw it first. Give it to me." + +Sam and Ben start to pull the bear. They are angry. They do not want to share. + +The bear is old and weak. It has a hole in its belly. When Sam and Ben pull it, the stuffing comes out. The stuffing is brown and smelly. It is rot. + +Sam and Ben drop the bear. They say, "Yuck! This bear is bad. It has rot in it." + +They see a shiny car in the box. It is made of steel. It is new and strong. They both want the car. + +They run to the car and say, "This is my car. I want to play with it." + +They start to fight again. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and games, but sometimes they got bored. One day, they saw a big file on their dad's desk. It had many papers and pictures and stickers inside. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Let's peek," Max said. + +They tiptoed to the desk and opened the file. They saw many things that made them curious. They saw a map of a faraway place, a letter from a friend, a photo of a cute animal, and a sticker that said "Best Dad Ever". + +"Wow, this is so cool!" Lily said. + +"Look, a panda!" Max said, pointing to the photo. + +They took out the photo and the sticker and ran back to their room. They put the photo on their wall and the sticker on their bed. They felt very happy and proud. + +But they did not know that their dad was looking for the file. He needed it for his work. He had to show it to his boss and his team. He searched everywhere, but he could not find it. He felt very worried and sad. + +He went to Lily and Max's room and knocked on the door. + +"Hi, kids. Can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked. + +"Sure, dad. Come in," Lily said. + +He entered the room and saw the photo and the sticker on the wall and the bed. He recognized them from his file. He felt very angry and hurt. + +"Kids, did you take these from my file?" he asked. + +Lily and Max looked at each other and nodded. They felt very scared and sorry. + +"Why did you do that?" he asked. + +"We were bored. We wanted to peek. They were so adorable," Lily said. + +"Kids, you should not peek at other people's things. That is rude and wrong. You should ask before you touch. And you should not take what is not yours. That is stealing and bad. You made me very upset and you could have made me lose my job," he said. + +Lily and Max felt very ashamed and guilty. They realized they had made a big mistake. + +"We are so sorry, dad. We did not mean to hurt you. We did not know it was important. We will give them back to you. Please forgive us," they said. + +Dad sighed and hugged them. + +"I forgive you, kids. But you have to promise me that you will never do that again. And you have to apologize to your mom and your teacher and your friends. And you have to do something nice for me to make up for it," he said. + +"We promise, dad. We love you. You are the best dad ever," they said. + +They gave him back the photo and the sticker and helped him put them back in the file. They said sorry to their mom and their teacher and their friends. And they made him a card and a cake to show him how much they appreciated him. + +They learned their lesson and never peeked at other people's things again. They also learned to respect and value their dad's work and love. They became more honest and kind and happy. +Anna and Ben like to create things with their toys. They have blocks, cars, dolls, and animals. They make houses, roads, farms, and zoos. Sometimes they pretend to be the toys and talk to each other. + +One day, they decide to create a rocket with their blocks. They want to go to the moon and see the stars. They stack the blocks high and put a cone on top. They add some wheels and a door. They think it looks like a rocket. + +"Are we ready to go?" Ben asks Anna. + +"Yes, let's go!" Anna says. They get inside the rocket and close the door. They pretend to push some buttons and make some noises. + +"Three, two, one, blast off!" they shout together. They imagine that the rocket flies up in the air and leaves the earth. They look out the window and see the sky. + +"Wow, look at the moon!" Anna says. "It is big and round and bright." + +"And look at the stars!" Ben says. "They are small and shiny and many." + +They are happy to see the moon and the stars. They wonder what else is out there. They see some unknown things that look like rocks or balls or rings. They are curious and excited. + +"Let's measure them!" Anna says. She takes out a ruler and a paper. She tries to measure the unknown things from the window. She writes down some numbers. + +"Let's name them!" Ben says. He takes out a crayon and a paper. He tries to draw the unknown things from the window. He writes down some names. + +They have fun measuring and naming the unknown things. They learn new things and use their imagination.

You can read it with me." + +Lily sits on a chair and opens the book. She sees many pictures of yummy things. She tries to read the words. Some words are easy, like egg and milk and sugar. Some words are hard, like vanilla and cinnamon and raisin. Mom helps her read the hard words. + +Lily and mom read the book together. They learn how to make different things. They decide to make a cake. They follow the recipe. They mix the ingredients. They pour the batter. They bake the cake. They decorate the cake. They eat the cake. It is very good. + +Lily is happy. She says, "Mom, I like this book. It is a good book. Can we read it again?" Mom says, "Yes, Lily. We can read it again. And we can make more things. Reading is fun. And so is baking." They hug and smile. +Lily and Ben went to the toy store with Mom. They saw many toys that they liked. They wanted to buy one, but Mom said they had to look at the price. The price was how much money they had to give for the toy. + +Lily saw a doll that she liked. It had a pink dress and long hair. She looked at the price. It was ten coins. Lily had five coins in her piggy bank. She did not have enough money for the doll. + +Ben saw a car that he liked. It had four wheels and a horn. He looked at the price. It was six coins.

She did not have enough money for the doll. The cashier saw her sad face and said, "Wait a minute. I have something for you." She reached under the counter and took out a small box. She opened it and showed Lily a necklace. It had a heart pendant and a shiny chain. Lily gasped. She recognized the necklace. It was the same one that Mom had. She loved Mom's necklace. + +The cashier said, "This is a special necklace. It was my daughter's, but she gave it to me. She said I could give it to someone who would love it. I think you would love it, Lily. Do you want it?" + +Lily nodded. She could not believe it. The cashier gave her the necklace and helped her put it on. Lily looked at herself in the mirror. She felt happy. She hugged the cashier and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" + +The cashier said, "You're welcome, sweetie. You're a very lucky girl. You have a nice brother, a nice mom, and a nice necklace. And you know what? The necklace was free. It had no price. It was a gift." + +Lily smiled. She looked at Ben and Mom. They smiled too. They were happy for Lily. They thanked the cashier and left the toy store. Lily felt the necklace on her neck. She felt loved. She said, "This is the best day ever!" +Lily was a little girl who liked to dream. She dreamed of being a doctor, a teacher, a dancer, and many other things. She had a big hat that she wore when she dreamed. The hat had many colors and shapes on it, and it made her feel happy and smart. + +One day, she went to the park with her hat and her mom. She saw some other kids playing with a ball. She wanted to join them, but she was shy. She put on her hat and said to herself, "I can do it. I can be a successful player." + +She walked up to the kids and said, "Hi, can I play with you?" The kids looked at her and laughed. They pointed at her hat and said, "What is that? That is a silly hat. You look funny. Go away." + +Lily felt sad and hurt. She ran back to her mom and cried. Her mom hugged her and said, "What happened, sweetie?" + +Lily told her mom what the kids said. Her mom said, "Don't listen to them, Lily. They are not nice. Your hat is beautiful and special. It is your dream hat. You can be anything you want with your hat. You are a successful girl." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you and I love my hat. I will keep dreaming and trying new things." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. And I am proud of you. You are brave and kind. That is what makes you successful." + +Lily and her mom went home and had a nice dinner. Lily put her hat on her bed and said good night to it. She closed her eyes and dreamed of her next adventure. + +The moral value of the story is: Be yourself and follow your dreams. Don't let others make you feel bad about yourself. You are successful when you are brave and kind. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hat on a bench.

They see a card with a cake and candles. They see a letter with a stamp and a sticker. They see a picture with a dog and a ball. + +"Wow, Anna, these are nice!" Ben says. "Let's take some." + +He grabs the card and the letter and the picture. He puts them in his pocket. Anna looks at him. She feels sad. + +"Ben, no, that is bad!" Anna says. "The post is not for us. The post is for other people. They will be happy to get the post. We should not take it. We should put it back." + +Ben shakes his head. He does not listen to Anna. He thinks the post is cheap and he can have it. + +"Anna, no, that is good!" Ben says. "The post is for us. We will be happy to have the post. We should not put it back. We should keep it." + +He runs away with the post. Anna follows him. She tries to speak to him. She wants him to do the right thing. + +They run and run until they see a man. The man is wearing a blue shirt and a hat. He has a bag on his shoulder. He is the postman. He sees Ben and Anna. He sees the post in Ben's pocket. He is angry. + +"Hey, you, stop!" the postman says. "What are you doing with the post? The post is not for you. The post is for other people. You should not take it. You should give it back." + +He runs to Ben and Anna. He takes the post from Ben's pocket. He puts it in his bag. He looks at Ben. He is not happy. + +"Ben, you are bad!" the postman says. "You should not steal the post. You should be sorry. You should say sorry." + +Ben feels scared. He feels sorry. He speaks to the postman. + +"Postman, I am sorry!" Ben says. "I should not steal the post. I should be good. I should listen to Anna. She is my friend. She knows the right thing." + +The postman nods. He speaks to Ben. + +"Ben, I am glad you are sorry!" the postman says. "You should not do it again. You should be good. You should listen to Anna. She is your friend. She knows the right thing." + +He looks at Anna. He smiles. He speaks to Anna. + +"Anna, you are good!" the postman says. "You should be proud. You did the right thing. You did not take the post. You tried to put it back. You tried to speak to Ben. You are a good friend." + +He gives Anna a sticker. It has a star and a smile. Anna smiles. She thanks the postman. She speaks to Ben. + +"Ben, I am happy you are sorry!" Anna says. "You should be good. You should listen to me. I am your friend. I want you to be happy." + +She gives Ben a hug. Ben hugs her back. He speaks to Anna. + +"Anna, I am happy you are my friend!" Ben says. "You should be proud. You did the right thing. You did not take the post. You tried to put it back. You tried to speak to me. You are a good friend." + +They walk home together. They are friends. They learned a lesson. They learned that the post is not cheap. They learned that the post is important. They learned that the post is for other people. They learned that they should not take it. They learned that they should give it back. They learned that they should be good. They learned that they should listen to each other. They learned that they are good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to open and close the cabinet doors and look for things inside. Sometimes they found spoons, cups, or boxes. Sometimes they found nothing. + +One day, Lily had an idea. She wanted to joke with Ben. She hid inside a big cabinet and waited for him to come. She heard him open and close the other doors. He was looking for her. + +"Where is Lily?" Ben asked. He could not see her. He opened the last door. Lily jumped out and shouted, "Boo!" + +Ben was surprised. He screamed and fell back. Then he saw Lily laughing. He realized she was joking. He laughed too. He was not scared anymore. + +They hugged and said sorry. They were still friends. They decided to play something else. They went to the living room. There was a bright sun outside. They wanted to go out and have more fun. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to go on walks with Mom and Dad. They see many things on the walk. They see birds, flowers, rocks, and bugs. + +One day, they find a trail of crumbs on the ground. Sam and Ben are curious. They want to know where the crumbs come from. They follow the trail. They hope to find something yummy at the end. + +But the trail leads them to a big, scary dog. The dog is guarding a plate of cookies. The dog barks and growls at Sam and Ben. Sam and Ben are afraid. They want to run away. But they also want the cookies. + +Sam has an idea. He picks up a stick. He throws the stick far away. The dog sees the stick. The dog likes to play. The dog runs after the stick. Sam and Ben see their chance. They grab some cookies from the plate. They run back to Mom and Dad. + +Sam and Ben are happy. They taste the cookies. The cookies are sweet and soft. They share the cookies with Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad are proud. They say Sam and Ben are smart and brave. Sam and Ben are successful. They smile and hug. They love their family. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big bowl of yogurt and some colorful fruits. They cut the fruits into small pieces and put them on top of the yogurt. + +"Look, Ben, I made a rainbow yogurt!" Lily said, showing her bowl to her brother. "It has red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple!" + +"Wow, that looks so good, Lily!" Ben said, admiring her work. "Can I have some?" + +"Sure, Ben, you can have some. But first, you have to guess what fruits I used. If you guess right, you can reveal the fruit and eat it. If you guess wrong, you have to wait until the end. Okay?" + +"Okay, Lily, that sounds fun. Let me see. Is the red one a strawberry?" + +"Yes, Ben, you are right! You can reveal the strawberry and eat it. Yum!" + +"Is the orange one a carrot?" + +"No, Ben, that is not a carrot. Carrots are not fruits. You have to wait until the end. Try again." + +"Is the yellow one a banana?" + +"Yes, Ben, you are right again! You can reveal the banana and eat it. Yum!" + +They continued to play the guessing game until they revealed all the fruits and ate the yogurt. They had a lot of fun and enjoyed their rainbow yogurt. They were happy and full. They cleaned up the kitchen and thanked their mom for letting them play. They hugged each other and said, "We love yogurt and we love each other!" +Sara and Ben like to play dress up. They have many clothes and hats and shoes in a big box. They take out the clothes and try them on. They make funny faces and noises. They pretend to be different people and animals. + +One day, they decide to put on a show for their mom and dad. They make a stage with a strip of cloth and some chairs. They choose their costumes and practice their acts. Sara wants to be a princess and Ben wants to be a lion. + +They call their mom and dad to watch. Mom and dad sit on the sofa and clap their hands. Sara and Ben come out from behind the cloth. Sara wears a pink dress and a crown. She sings a song about flowers and stars. Ben wears a brown coat and a mane. He roars and jumps around. Mom and dad applaud and cheer. + +Sara and Ben are very happy. They bow and smile. They say thank you to their mom and dad. They hug and kiss them. They go back to the box to change their clothes. + +But they forget to put the clothes back in the box. They leave them on the floor and on the chairs. The room is very messy. Mom and dad are not happy. They tell Sara and Ben to clean up. Sara and Ben say sorry. They pick up the clothes and put them in the box. They help mom and dad to tidy the room. They promise to be more careful next time. Mom and dad say they love them. They say they are proud of their show. They hug and kiss them again. They say good night. Sara and Ben go to bed. They dream of their show. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big bear in the trees. The bear was wild and hungry. It growled and showed its teeth. + +"Mom, look, a bear!" Lily shouted. + +"Shh, don't make noise. We have to be quiet and walk away slowly," mom said. + +But Ben was not afraid. He wanted to talk to the bear. He said, "Hello, bear. Do you want to play with us?" + +The bear heard Ben and came closer. It sniffed Ben and licked his face. Ben laughed and hugged the bear. + +"Ben, no, that's dangerous. The bear might hurt you," mom said. + +But the bear did not hurt Ben. It was lonely and liked Ben. It replied, "Roar, roar. I want to play with you. You are nice and soft." + +Lily and mom were surprised. They saw that the bear was friendly and gentle. They joined Ben and the bear. They played and had fun. The bear was happy and so were they. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to eat cereal for breakfast. But today, they have a problem. The cereal box is empty. + +"Mom, we have no cereal!" Lily shouts. + +Mom is in the bathroom. She hears Lily and Ben. She worries. She knows they are hungry. + +"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Mom says. She runs to the kitchen. She sees the empty box. She thinks fast. + +"Look, I have something else for you. How about some toast and jam?" Mom says. She smiles. + +Lily and Ben look at the toast and jam. They are not sure. They like cereal better. + +"Can we have cereal tomorrow?" Ben asks. + +"Of course, we can. I will buy more cereal today. I'm sorry, I forgot to check the box." Mom says. She hugs them. + +Lily and Ben nod. They decide to try the toast and jam. They take a bite. They are surprised. It is yummy. + +"Mom, this is good!" Lily says. + +"Yeah, it is!" Ben agrees. + +Mom is happy. She is not worried anymore. She joins them for breakfast. They eat and talk. They are a happy family. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with trucks and cars. One day, they find a big hill in the park. They want to see who can drive their truck up the hill faster. + +Tom has a red truck. It is big and heavy. Sam has a blue truck. It is small and light. They put their trucks at the bottom of the hill and say "Ready, set, go!" + +Tom's truck is strong, but it weighs too much. It goes up the hill slowly. Sam's truck is weak, but it weighs less. It goes up the hill quickly. Sam reaches the top of the hill first and says "I win!" + +Tom is sad. He likes his red truck, but it is not useful for going up hills. He says "Your truck is better than mine." + +Sam is kind. He says "No, your truck is good too. It can carry more things than mine. Let's share our trucks and play together." + +Tom smiles. He says "OK, let's do that. You can use my red truck to bring some rocks and sticks, and I can use your blue truck to go up and down the hill." + +They share their trucks and have fun. They are good friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals and colors. They take turns to show each other a card and say its name. + +Anna shows Ben a card with a red bird. She says, "This is a cardinal. It is red and has a crest." Ben nods and says, "I like cardinals. They are pretty and sing nice." + +Ben shows Anna a card with a yellow flower. He says, "This is a sunflower. It is yellow and has many seeds." Anna smiles and says, "I like sunflowers. They are bright and big." + +They show each other more cards and have fun. But then, they see a boy named Tom. Tom is older and bigger than them. He is not nice. He likes to take things from other kids. He sees Anna and Ben's cards and walks over to them. + +"Hey, what are you playing with?" he asks in a harsh voice. He grabs a card from Ben's hand. It is a card with a green frog. He says, "This is a frog. It is green and slimy." He makes a face and throws the card on the ground. He laughs and says, "Your cards are silly and boring. I have better cards. Look!" + +He shows them a card with a scary monster. It has big teeth and claws. It is purple and black. He says, "This is a dragon. It is purple and black and can breathe fire. It can eat frogs and birds and flowers. It is the best card ever. You are scared of it, right?" + +Anna and Ben are scared of Tom and his card. They want their cards back. They say, "No, we are not scared. Your card is mean and ugly. We like our cards. They are nice and beautiful. Give them back to us!" + +Tom laughs and says, "No, I will not give them back. They are mine now. You can have this card." He throws the monster card at them and runs away with their cards. + +Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They pick up the monster card and the frog card. They look at each other and say, "We don't want this card. We want our cards. Let's go after him and get them back. We are friends and we can do it." They hold hands and run after Tom. They are brave and smart. They will not let Tom take their cards. They will show him that their cards are better. +Lily and Tom were hungry. They saw a big sausage on the table. They both wanted to eat it. + +"Give me the sausage!" Lily said. + +"No, it is mine!" Tom said. + +They both pulled the sausage. They pulled and pulled. The sausage was very stretchy. It became longer and longer. + +"Stop pulling!" Mom said. She came into the kitchen. She saw the sausage. It was very thin and long. It looked like a rope. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked. She was not happy. + +"We wanted the sausage!" Lily and Tom said. + +"But you cannot have it. It is not for you. It is for the dog. It is a dog sausage. It is not good for you." Mom said. + +Lily and Tom felt silly. They did not know it was a dog sausage. They let go of the sausage. It snapped back. It hit them on the face. It hurt. + +"Ow!" Lily and Tom said. + +They rubbed their faces. They were sorry. + +"Sorry, Mom." Lily and Tom said. + +Mom hugged them. She gave them a clear glass of water and a slice of bread. + +"Next time, ask before you take something. And share with each other. Then you will not get hurt." Mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They drank the water and ate the bread. They were not hungry anymore. They were happy. +Lily and Sam were going to the park with their mom. They liked the park because it had swings, slides and a big sandbox. They also liked to see the ducks and the squirrels that lived there. + +When they got to the park, they saw something unusual. There was a big truck with a long metal stick on it. The truck was near the sandbox, and there were some people wearing yellow hats and vests. They were holding a tape measure and a clipboard. + +"What are they doing, mom?" Lily asked. + +"They are measuring the sandbox, sweetie. They want to make it bigger and better for the children. They need to know how much sand and wood they need," mom explained. + +"Can we help them, mom?" Sam asked. + +"No, honey, they are doing a very important job. We have to stay away from the truck and the metal stick. It can be dangerous. We can watch them from here, or we can play on the swings or the slides," mom said. + +Lily and Sam decided to watch them for a while. They were curious about the truck and the metal stick. They wondered how it worked and what it could do. They also wondered how big the new sandbox would be. + +They hoped it would be ready soon, so they could play in it with their friends. They thought it would be fun to make sand castles and dig holes. They also hoped the ducks and the squirrels would like it too. They liked to share the park with them. +Mia and Leo were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big basket of prunes on the table. Prunes were sweet and soft fruits that they loved to eat. + +"Let's have some prunes!" Mia said. + +"OK, but we have to ask Mom first," Leo said. + +They ran to the kitchen, where Mom was busy cooking. "Mom, can we have some prunes?" they asked. + +"Yes, you can, but only one each. The rest are for Grandma, who is coming to visit later. She is very old and needs to eat healthy food. And don't forget to wash your hands before you eat," Mom said. + +Mia and Leo nodded and ran back to the table. They each took a prune and washed their hands. They bit into the juicy fruits and smiled. + +"These are so good!" Mia said. + +"I want another one," Leo said. + +"But Mom said only one each," Mia said. + +"Mom won't notice. There are so many prunes in the basket. Come on, just one more," Leo said. + +He reached for another prune, but Mia stopped him. "No, Leo, that's not fair. We have to share with Grandma. She will be sad if there are no prunes left for her," Mia said. + +Leo frowned. He wanted another prune, but he also loved Grandma. He looked at the basket and had an idea. He grabbed a handful of prunes and ran to the shed. He hid the prunes under a pile of old clothes and ran back to the table. + +"Where did you go?" Mia asked. + +"I just went to the bathroom," Leo lied. + +Mia did not believe him. She saw his mouth was purple from the prunes. She was angry and hurt. She decided to tell Mom what Leo did. + +She ran to the kitchen, but Mom was not there. She saw a note on the fridge. It said: "I went to the store to buy some milk. I'll be back soon. Love, Mom." + +Mia did not know what to do. She wanted to tell Mom, but she also did not want to get Leo in trouble. She felt confused and sad. + +She went back to the table and saw that the basket was empty. All the prunes were gone. She gasped. Where did they go? + +She heard a loud scream from the shed. It was Leo. She ran to the shed and opened the door. She saw Leo on the floor, surrounded by prunes. He was crying and holding his tummy. + +"Mia, help me! I ate too many prunes and now I feel sick. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" he sobbed. + +Mia felt sorry for Leo. She saw that he was in pain and regretted what he did. She hugged him and said: "It's OK, Leo. I forgive you. But you have to learn to be honest and generous. Prunes are good, but too many can make you sick. And Grandma deserves some too. She loves us and we love her." + +Leo nodded. He realized that he was selfish and greedy. He wished he could make the prunes vanish. He said: "You're right, Mia. I'm sorry. I love you and Grandma. Can you help me put the prunes back in the basket?" + +Mia smiled. She said: "Of course, Leo. Let's do it together. And then we can wait for Mom and Grandma and tell them the truth. Maybe they will still let us have one more prune each, if we say sorry and promise to be good." + +They picked up the prunes and put them back in the basket. They carried the basket to the table and waited for Mom and Grandma. They felt better and hoped that they would still love them. + +The moral of the story is: Honesty and generosity are better than selfishness and greed. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big metal slide. It is very high and shiny. Lily wants to go on the slide, but Tom is scared. + +"Come on, Tom, let's go on the slide!" Lily says. "It will be fun!" + +"No, Lily, it is too high. I don't want to go." Tom says. He holds Lily's hand. + +Lily looks at Tom. She sees that he is sad. She thinks of an idea. + +"Tom, listen to me. We can go on the slide together. I will hold your hand and we will go slowly. It will not be scary. It will be fun!" Lily says. + +Tom listens to Lily. He thinks for a moment. He nods his head. + +"Okay, Lily, we can try. But you have to hold my hand." Tom says. + +Lily smiles. She holds Tom's hand. They walk to the slide. They climb the steps. They sit on the slide. They look down. It is very high. + +"Are you ready, Tom?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, Lily, I am ready." Tom says. + +They slide down. They feel the wind in their hair. They hear the metal make a noise. They laugh. They reach the bottom. They are happy. + +"Wow, Lily, that was fun!" Tom says. + +"I told you, Tom, it was fun!" Lily says. + +They hug each other. They go on the slide again. And again. And again. They have a lot of fun. +Sara and Tom were going on a trip with their mum and dad. They had to pack their bags with clothes and toys. Sara was very happy. She liked to fly on the aeroplane and see new places. She packed her favourite doll and her colouring book. + +Tom was not happy. He did not like to fly on the aeroplane. He was scared of the loud noise and the high sky. He did not want to pack his bag. He wanted to stay at home with his grandma and his dog. He was envious of Sara. He thought she always got the best things. + +"Come on, Tom, hurry up and pack your bag. We have to leave soon," mum said. + +"I don't want to go. I don't like the aeroplane. I want to stay with grandma and Spot," Tom said. + +"Don't be silly, Tom. The aeroplane is fun. You will see the clouds and the birds. And we will go to the beach and the zoo. You will love it," Sara said. + +"No, I won't. You always love everything. You are so lucky. I hate you," Tom said. He threw his bag on the floor and ran to his room. + +Mum and dad were very angry. They went to Tom's room and tried to calm him down. They told him he had to go with them and he had to be nice to Sara. They said they loved him and they wanted him to have fun. + +But Tom did not listen. He shouted and cried and kicked. He did not want to go. He did not want to have fun. He did not want to love anyone. + +So mum and dad had to make a hard choice. They decided to leave Tom with grandma and Spot. They took Sara and their bags and went to the aeroplane. They said goodbye to Tom and told him they would come back soon. + +Tom watched them go. He felt sad and lonely. He wished he had packed his bag and gone with them. He wished he had been nice to Sara and loved her. He wished he had not been envious and angry. He wished he had been happy. But it was too late. He had made a bad choice. And he had to live with it. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. But today, they are very bored. Mama and Papa are at work. Nana is watching them at home. Nana is very old and lazy. She only wants to sit and knit. + +"Let's do something fun," Sara says to Ben. "Let's make a surprise for Mama and Papa." + +"What kind of surprise?" Ben asks. + +"Let's clean the home," Sara says. "Mama and Papa will be happy when they see it." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He does not like to clean. But he likes to make Mama and Papa happy. He nods and says, "OK, let's do it." + +Sara and Ben get the broom, the dustpan, the mop, and the cloth. They start to clean the home. They sweep the floor, wipe the table, wash the dishes, and tidy the toys. They work hard and fast. Nana does not notice them. She is busy knitting. + +Soon, the home is very clean and shiny. Sara and Ben are very proud. They put a big sign on the door that says, "Surprise! We love you!" They hide behind the sofa and wait for Mama and Papa. + +Mama and Papa come home from work. They are tired and hungry. They open the door and see the sign. They are very surprised. They walk in and see the clean home. They are very happy. They hear giggles behind the sofa. They look and see Sara and Ben. + +"Sara! Ben! What a wonderful surprise!" Mama says. "You cleaned the home for us! How sweet of you!" + +"We wanted to make you happy," Sara says. + +"We love you, Mama and Papa," Ben says. + +Mama and Papa hug Sara and Ben. They thank them for the surprise. They tell them they are very good and smart. They give them kisses and cookies. Sara and Ben smile and eat the cookies. They are very happy too. + +Nana wakes up from her nap. She sees the clean home and the happy family. She is very surprised too. She smiles and says, "What a nice surprise!" +One day, Lily and Sam went to the park with their mom. They saw a big swing that looked like a ship. Lily said, "Let's play pirates on the swing!" Sam nodded and they ran to the swing. + +They climbed on the swing and pretended to be pirates. Lily wore a hat and Sam wore a scarf. They said, "Arrr!" and "Ahoy!" and "Shiver me timbers!" They swung back and forth and had fun. + +But then, they saw a boy with a blue shirt and a blue bike. He came to the swing and said, "This is my swing. You have to get off." Lily and Sam did not like the boy. He was mean and rude. + +Lily said, "No, this is our swing. We are pirates and this is our ship. You can't have it." Sam said, "Yeah, go away. You are not a pirate. You are a blue meanie." + +The boy got angry and tried to push them off the swing. But Lily and Sam held on tight and swung harder. They said, "We are not afraid of you. You are a silly blue meanie. You can't catch us." + +The boy gave up and rode away on his bike. He was sad and mad. Lily and Sam cheered and hugged. They said, "We are the best pirates ever. We beat the blue meanie. Hooray!" They swung some more and smiled. They had a great day. +Lily liked to play with her toy parrot. She named it Polly and gave it hugs and kisses. She taught it to say "I love you" and "hello". She took it everywhere with her, even to bed. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily brought Polly with her and put it on a swing. She pushed it gently and sang to it. She was very happy. + +But then, a big boy came and saw Polly. He wanted to play with it too. He ran to the swing and grabbed Polly from Lily. He said "This is mine now!" + +Lily was very sad and angry. She shouted "No! Give it back! That's my Polly!" She tried to get Polly back, but the boy was stronger and faster. He ran away with Polly. + +Lily ran after him, but she could not catch him. She saw him throw Polly into a trash can. She heard Polly say "I love you" and "hello" in a sad voice. She cried and cried. + +She ran to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said "I'm sorry, sweetie. That was a very mean boy. He should not have done that. Let's go and get Polly out of the trash can." + +But when they got to the trash can, they saw that a big dog had already found Polly. The dog bit Polly and tore it apart. It spit out the feathers and the plastic. It made a sour face and barked. + +Lily and her mom were shocked and horrified. They could not believe what they saw. Lily cried and cried. She said "Polly, Polly, I love you. I'm sorry, Polly." Her mom cried too. She said "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm so sorry." + +They went home, but Lily could not stop crying. She missed Polly so much. She wished she could hug it and kiss it and hear it say "I love you" and "hello" again. But she knew she could not. Polly was gone forever. Lily was very sad. She had a very bad day. +Tom and Amy are brother and sister. They like to play hide and seek in the house. One day, they decide to play in the basement, where there are many boxes and things to hide behind. + +Tom says, "I will count to ten and you hide. Then I will find you." Amy nods and runs to find a good spot. She sees a big closet with a door. She thinks, "This is a perfect place to hide. Tom will never find me here." She opens the door and goes inside. She closes the door and sits on the floor. She is very quiet. + +Tom finishes counting and says, "Ready or not, here I come!" He starts to look for Amy. He looks behind the boxes, under the table, in the laundry basket, but he cannot find her. He thinks, "Where is Amy? She is very good at hiding." He walks around the basement and sees the closet. He thinks, "Maybe she is in there." He goes to the closet and tries to open the door. But the door is locked. He says, "Amy, are you in there? Come out, I found you." + +Amy hears Tom's voice, but she cannot open the door. She says, "Tom, help me! I'm stuck in the closet. The door is locked. I can't get out." She starts to cry. She is scared and cold. + +Tom hears Amy's voice, but he cannot open the door. He says, "Don't worry, Amy. I will get help. Stay calm. I will be back soon." He runs upstairs to find their mom or dad. But no one is home. They went to the store and left a note. Tom reads the note, but he does not understand it. He does not know what to do. He starts to cry. He is sad and sorry. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to sell strawberries at the market. They pick the strawberries from their garden. They put them in a basket. They walk to the market. + +At the market, they see many people. They see a man with a big hat. He comes to their basket. He says, "Hello, boys. How much are your strawberries?" + +Tim says, "One coin for one strawberry. They are very good and sweet." + +The man with the big hat says, "That is too much. I will give you one coin for two strawberries." + +Sam says, "No, that is not fair. We worked hard to pick them. They are worth one coin each." + +The man with the big hat says, "Fine. I will take them anyway." He grabs the basket and runs away. + +Tim and Sam are very sad and angry. They chase the man with the big hat. They shout, "Stop! Give us back our strawberries!" + +But the man with the big hat is too fast. He disappears in the crowd. Tim and Sam cannot find him. They have no strawberries and no coins. They go home crying. They have a bad day. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair and a pretty dress. Lily liked to tie ribbons in Anna's hair and make her look nice. + +One day, Lily saw a new doll in the store. The doll had curly hair and a shiny dress. Lily wanted the doll very much. She asked her mom if she could have it. Her mom said no. She said they had no money for a new doll. Lily was sad. + +The next day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Anna. She saw a girl with the same doll she wanted. The girl was not nice. She said her doll was better than Lily's doll. She said Lily's doll had a mark on her face. Lily looked at Anna and saw a small mark. It was from when she had drawn on her with a crayon. Lily loved Anna, but she felt bad. + +The girl said she would trade her doll for Anna. She said Lily could have her doll if she gave her Anna. Lily thought about it. She wanted the new doll, but she also loved Anna. She did not know what to do. + +Then, she saw another girl come to the park. The girl had no doll. She looked lonely. She asked Lily and the other girl if she could play with them.

And he will always be in your heart. You can keep him and remember the good times you had together. But you also have to forgive the dog and its owner. They didn't mean to hurt you or Bunny. They made a mistake. And everyone makes mistakes sometimes. You have to be kind and understanding, just like Bunny was to you." + +Mia listened to her mom and nodded. She wiped her tears and looked at the dog and its owner. She said, "I'm sorry I yelled at you. I know you didn't want to kill Bunny. I forgive you. But please be careful next time.
