They liked the same words. They liked the same animals. They decided to read the books together. They sat on the couch and turned the pages. They pointed at the pictures and said the words. They learned new words and had fun. + +The rain stopped. The sun came out. Sam and Lily put the books back on the shelf. They were not bored and sleepy anymore. They were happy and excited. They ran to the door and put on their shoes and coats. They wanted to go out and play. They said "Bye" to the books and "Hello" to the world. +Sara and Tom were going on a journey with their mom and dad. They packed their bags and got in the car. Sara was happy because she liked to see new things. Tom was sad because he did not want to leave his toys and his friends. + +"Tom, why are you frowning?" Sara asked. "Don't you want to go on a journey?" + +"No, I don't," Tom said. "I want to stay home and play. I don't like journeys. They are long and boring." + +"But journeys are fun," Sara said. "You can see new places and meet new people. And you can play with me and mom and dad. We can sing songs and tell stories and play games in the car." + +Tom shook his head. He did not want to sing or tell stories or play games. He wanted to play with his toys and his friends. He crossed his arms and looked out the window. + +The car drove for a long time. Sara saw many things. She saw cows and horses and sheep. She saw trees and flowers and hills. She saw houses and shops and signs. She pointed and asked mom and dad what they were. Mom and dad told her and she learned new words. + +Tom did not see anything. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. He did not want to learn new words. He knew enough words already. + +The car stopped at a big house. Mom and dad said it was their aunt's house. They got out of the car and took their bags. Sara ran to the door and knocked. She was excited to meet her aunt and her cousins. + +Tom walked slowly behind mom and dad. He did not want to meet his aunt and his cousins. He did not want to share his room and his toys. He did not want to make new friends. + +The door opened and a lady with a big smile came out. She hugged mom and dad and said hello. She looked at Sara and Tom and said, "You must be Sara and Tom. I'm your aunt Lucy. I'm so happy to see you. Come in, come in. I have a surprise for you." + +Sara smiled and said hello. She followed her aunt into the house. She wondered what the surprise was. + +Tom frowned and said nothing. He followed mom and dad into the house. He did not care about the surprise. He wanted to go home. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were explorers. They saw a big hill with a hole on top. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's go and see!" Tom said. "Maybe it is a volcano!" + +"A volcano?" Lily asked. "What is that?" + +"A volcano is a mountain that makes fire and rocks. It is very loud and hot. But we are brave, we can go and look!" Tom said. + +They climbed the hill and reached the hole. They peeked inside. They saw nothing but dirt and rocks. + +"Is this a volcano?" Lily asked. + +Tom shook his head. "No, this is not a volcano. This is just a hole. I guess we were wrong." + +They heard a noise behind them. They turned around and saw a man with a big hose. He was watering the flowers. + +"Hello, kids. What are you doing here?" the man asked. + +"We were looking for a volcano!" Tom said. + +"A volcano? In the park?" the man laughed. "There are no volcanoes here. Volcanoes are far away, in other places. Do you want to learn more about them?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily said. + +The man smiled and took them to his truck. He had a book and a toy volcano. He showed them pictures and told them stories. He also made the toy volcano erupt with water and baking soda. + +Tom and Lily were amazed. They learned a lot about volcanoes. They thanked the man and went back to their parents. + +They decided to play something else. They still liked to pretend they were explorers, but they also liked to learn new things. They wondered what else they could find in the park. +Ben and Mia like to collect rocks. They have a big box of rocks in their room. Some rocks are shiny, some are smooth, some are colorful. They like to look at their rocks and make shapes with them. + +One day, they go to the park with their mom. They see a lot of rocks on the ground. They run to pick them up. "Look, Mia, this one is sparkly!" Ben says. He shows Mia a rock that has glitter on it. "Wow, Ben, that's pretty!" Mia says. She sees a rock that has stripes on it. "Look, Ben, this one is original!" She says. She shows Ben a rock that has different colors on it. + +They put their rocks in their pockets. They want to take them home and add them to their box. They keep looking for more rocks. They do not see a big rock in their way. They trip over it and fall down. They scrape their knees and elbows. They feel pain. They cry. + +Their mom hears them and runs to them. She hugs them and kisses them. She says, "Oh, no, my sweeties, are you okay?" She looks at their wounds and says, "You have some boo-boos. Let's go home and clean them up. You are very brave." + +Ben and Mia nod. They still feel pain, but they feel better with their mom. They remember their rocks. They take them out of their pockets and show them to their mom. They say, "Look, mom, we collect rocks. They are shiny and smooth and colorful and original." Their mom smiles and says, "They are very nice rocks. You are very smart and creative. I'm proud of you." She takes their rocks and puts them in her bag. She says, "Let's go home and put them in your box. Then we can have some ice cream. How does that sound?" Ben and Mia smile and say, "Yes, please!" They hold their mom's hand and walk home. They are happy. +Anna likes to dance. She dances when she is happy, when she is sad, when she is bored. She dances in her room, in the garden, in the kitchen. She dances with her toys, with her mom, with her dog. + +One day, Anna finds a video in a box. She asks her mom what it is. Her mom says it is a video of her when she was a baby. Anna wants to see it. Her mom puts the video in a machine and turns on the TV. + +Anna sees a baby on the screen. The baby looks like her, but smaller and fatter. The baby is wearing a pink dress and a bow. The baby is dancing. Anna is confused. She says to her mom, "Mom, is that me?" + +Her mom says, "Yes, that is you, Anna. You were dancing when you were a baby. You always loved to dance." + +Anna smiles. She says, "I still love to dance, Mom. Can I dance with the baby?" + +Her mom says, "Sure, Anna. You can dance with the baby. But remember, the baby is not real. It is just a video. You are the real Anna, and you are here with me." + +Anna nods. She stands up and dances in front of the TV. She dances with the baby. She dances with her mom. She dances with her dog. She is happy. She loves to dance. +Sara and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They have a big box of cars and a long tunnel made of cardboard. They take turns to push their cars through the tunnel and make zoom sounds. + +One day, Sara wants to play with Ben's red car. She thinks it is the fastest and the coolest. She asks Ben, "Can I have your red car, please?" + +Ben says, "No, it is mine. You have your own cars. Go away." + +Sara gets angry. She says, "You are bossy and mean. I want the red car. Give it to me now." + +Ben says, "No, no, no. It is mine. You can't have it." + +Sara tries to grab the red car from Ben's hand. They pull and tug and shout. The red car slips from their fingers and rolls into the tunnel. They can't see it anymore. + +They stop fighting and look at the tunnel. They say, "Oh no! We lost the red car. Where is it?" + +They crawl into the tunnel and search for the red car. They bump into each other and say, "Sorry, sorry. Excuse me." + +They reach the end of the tunnel and find the red car. They are happy and relieved. They say, "Yay! We found the red car. It is here." + +They look at each other and smile. They say, "Sorry for being bossy and mean. Can we share the red car and play together?" + +They nod and hug. They say, "Yes, we can. We are friends." + +They take turns to push the red car through the tunnel and make zoom sounds. They have fun and play nicely. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play in the living room. One day, they see a big bottle of wine on the table. It is red and shiny. Ben says, "Let's open it and drink it. It looks yummy." Mia says, "No, Ben. That is not for us. That is for Mom and Dad. They will be angry if we touch it." But Ben does not listen. He takes the bottle and tries to open it. He pulls hard and the cork pops out. The wine spills everywhere. It makes a big mess on the table, on the floor, on the couch, and on their clothes. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise and come to the living room. They see the wine and the mess. They are very angry. They say, "Ben and Mia, what did you do? This is very bad. You are not supposed to touch the wine. It is not for children. It is for grown-ups. You could get sick or hurt. And you ruined the wine and the living room. How could you be so naughty?" Ben and Mia are scared. They start to cry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We are very sorry. We did not mean to do it. We were just curious. Please do not be mad at us. Please forgive us." + +Mom and Dad sigh. They are still angry, but they love Ben and Mia. They say, "We are disappointed in you, Ben and Mia. You should know better. You should listen to each other and to us. You should not touch things that are not yours. You should be careful and respectful. You have to learn from your mistake. You have to help us clean up the mess. And you have to say sorry to each other and to us. Do you understand?" Ben and Mia nod. They say, "We understand, Mom and Dad. We will help you clean up. We will say sorry. We will not do it again. We love you, Mom and Dad." Mom and Dad hug them. They say, "We love you too, Ben and Mia. But please, do not touch the wine again." +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy trains on the floor. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving fast. Ben had a red train and Lily had a blue one. + +"Look, my train has steam!" Ben said, blowing on his train. He saw some white air come out of the train's chimney. "It can go very far with steam." + +Lily tried to blow on her train, but nothing happened. She blew harder and harder, but still no steam. She felt frustrated. Why did Ben's train have steam and hers did not? + +"Ben, why does your train have steam and mine does not?" Lily asked, frowning. + +Ben looked at Lily's train. He saw that it was different from his. His train had a hole on the top, but Lily's train did not. + +"Your train is not the same as mine, Lily," Ben said. "Your train does not have a hole for the steam. It is a different kind of train." + +Lily looked at her train. She saw that Ben was right. Her train did not have a hole for the steam. It had a button instead. + +"What does this button do?" Lily asked, pointing at the button. + +Ben shrugged. He did not know. He had never seen a train like Lily's before. + +"Why don't you try it?" Ben said. "Maybe it will do something fun." + +Lily nodded. She pressed the button. Suddenly, her train made a loud sound and flashed a bright light. It was a siren! + +"Wow!" Ben and Lily said together. They laughed and clapped their hands. They liked the siren. + +"Your train is cool, Lily," Ben said. "It can make a siren. That is fun." + +"Thank you, Ben," Lily said. "Your train is cool too. It can make steam. That is fun." + +Ben and Lily smiled at each other. They decided to share their trains and play together. They did not feel frustrated anymore. They felt happy. They reminded each other that different trains can do different things, and that is okay. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Tom had a lion toy and Lily had a bunny toy. + +"Roar!" Tom said, making his lion toy jump on Lily's bunny toy. "I am the king of the jungle and you are my lunch!" + +"No, no, no!" Lily said, pulling her bunny toy away. "You are not nice, Tom. You are mean. Bunnies are nice and they like to hug." + +Lily hugged her bunny toy and made a sad face. Tom felt sorry for making Lily sad. He wanted to be nice too. + +"Sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I was just playing. Can I hug your bunny too?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She gave Tom her bunny toy and they hugged it together. They felt happy and warm. + +"Can I hug you too, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"OK, Tom," Lily said. "You are my friend." + +They hugged each other and giggled. They were very cute. + +But then, they heard a loud noise from the bathroom. It was their big brother, Jake. He had flushed the toilet and it was overflowing. Water was spilling everywhere and making a mess. + +"Uh-oh," Jake said. "Mom is going to be mad." + +He ran out of the bathroom and saw Tom and Lily hugging in the living room. He had an idea. + +"Hey, you two," Jake said. "Do you want to see something cool in the bathroom?" + +Tom and Lily let go of each other and looked at Jake. They were curious. + +"What is it, Jake?" Tom asked. + +"Come and see," Jake said. "But don't tell Mom." + +He grabbed Tom and Lily by their hands and dragged them to the bathroom. He pushed them inside and locked the door behind them. + +"Ha, ha, ha!" Jake said. "Now you are stuck in the bathroom with the water. Have fun!" + +He ran away and left Tom and Lily alone. They saw the water on the floor and the toilet still overflowing. They were scared and wet. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Lily cried. "Let us out, Jake! Let us out!" + +But Jake did not hear them. He was hiding in his room. He was not nice. He was mean. + +Tom and Lily hugged each other and cried. They wished they were still playing with their toys in the living room. They were not happy. They were sad. + +The end. +Sam and Lily were friends who liked to play near the water. They saw a big boat with white sails and many windows. It was a yacht. They wanted to go on the yacht and see what was inside. + +They waited until no one was looking and climbed on the yacht. They saw many things they did not understand. There were buttons and screens and wires and maps. They touched some of the buttons and heard noises and saw lights. They thought it was fun. + +But they did not know that they were making the yacht move. The yacht started to go away from the shore and into the deep water. They did not see the rocks and the waves. They did not hear the people shouting and waving. They did not feel the yacht shaking and tipping. + +Soon they were scared and wanted to go back. But they did not know how to stop the yacht or turn it around. They cried and hugged each other. They wished they had listened to their parents and stayed away from the yacht. + +A big boat with a red light and a loud horn came to help them. It was a rescue boat. The people on the rescue boat were kind and brave. They threw a rope to the yacht and pulled it back to the shore. They helped Sam and Lily get off the yacht and gave them blankets and hugs. + +Sam and Lily said they were sorry and thanked the people on the rescue boat. They learned a great lesson. They learned that they should not go on things they do not understand. They learned that they should obey their parents and be careful near the water. They learned that they were lucky to have friends who could help them. They learned that the yacht was not a toy but a dangerous thing. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Lila finds a phone in her mom's closet. It is old and broken. Lila thinks it is a good toy. + +She shows the phone to Tom. Tom likes the phone too. He says, "Can I have it?" Lila says, "No, it is mine. But I can sell it to you. Give me two cookies and a sticker." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes cookies and stickers. But he also knows that the phone is not a good toy. It does not work. It has no games. It has no sounds. He says, "No, thank you. I do not want the phone. It is old and broken. You can keep it." + +Lila is sad. She wants to sell the phone. She thinks it is a good toy. She says, "Please, buy the phone. It is fun. You can pretend to call people. You can pretend to take pictures. You can pretend to do anything." + +Tom shakes his head. He says, "No, thank you. I do not want to pretend. I want to play with real toys. I have a ball. I have a car. I have a book. They are fun and they work. You can play with them too. Come on, let's go." + +Lila sees that Tom is right. The phone is not a good toy. It is old and broken. She says, "Okay, let's go. I do not want the phone either. You are wise, Tom. You know what is good and what is bad. Can I have a cookie and a sticker?" + +Tom smiles. He says, "Sure, you can have a cookie and a sticker. You are my friend, Lila. Friends share. Come on, let's go." + +They leave the phone in the closet. They go to play with their toys. They have fun. They are happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big mountain far away. It is white and shiny. + +"Wow, look at the mountain!" Tom says. "It is brilliant!" + +"I want to go there!" Mia says. "Can we do that?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He remembers what his mom told him. "No, we can't," he says. "The mountain is too far and too high. We need to stay here." + +Mia is sad. She really wants to see the mountain. She has an idea. "What if we make our own mountain?" she says. + +"How can we do that?" Tom asks. + +Mia points to the sandbox. "We can use the sand and the toys," she says. "We can make a small mountain and pretend it is the big one." + +Tom likes the idea. He smiles. "Okay, let's do that!" he says. + +They run to the sandbox. They use their shovels and buckets to pile up the sand. They use their cars and dolls to decorate the mountain. They make it look like the big one. They are happy. + +They play with their mountain for a long time. They pretend they are climbing and skiing and having fun. They forget about the big mountain. They have their own brilliant mountain. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys. But they do not like to share. One day, Mom buys them a new toy. It is a black car. It is cheap, but it looks fun. + +Mom gives the car to Sara and Ben. She says, "This is for both of you. You have to take turns. Be nice to each other." Then she goes to the kitchen. + +Sara and Ben look at the car. They both want it. They both reach for it. They pull and tug. They yell and fight. + +"Mine!" Sara screams. + +"No, mine!" Ben screams. + +They do not listen to Mom. They do not take turns. They do not be nice. + +The car breaks. It makes a loud snap. The wheels fall off. The door falls off. The car is ruined. + +Sara and Ben stop fighting. They look at the car. They feel sad. They feel sorry. + +They look at each other. They say, "I'm sorry." + +They hug and make up. They go to Mom. They show her the car. They say, "We're sorry. We broke the car. We were bad." + +Mom is not happy. She is not angry. She is disappointed. She says, "I'm sorry too. I bought you a cheap car. It was not strong. It was not good. But you should not fight over it. You should share. You should be nice. That is more important than any toy." + +Sara and Ben nod. They understand. They say, "We love you, Mom. We will share. We will be nice." + +Mom smiles. She says, "I love you too, Sara and Ben. You are good kids. You can learn from your mistakes. Next time, I will buy you a better car. A car that is strong. A car that is good. A car that you can play with together." +Sara and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Sara was bossy. She told Ben what to do all the time. She said, "Ben, you cut the cauliflower. I will fix the soup. Hurry up, we have guests coming soon." + +Ben did not like to cut the cauliflower. It was hard and white and boring. He wanted to fix the soup too. He said, "Sara, can I help you with the soup? I like soup. It is hot and tasty and fun." + +Sara said, "No, Ben. You are too little to fix the soup. You will make a mess. You will burn yourself. You will spill the soup. You stay with the cauliflower. I am the big chef. I know what to do." + +Ben was sad and angry. He did not want to play with Sara anymore. He thought she was mean and rude. He said, "Fine, Sara. You can have the soup. I don't care. I will make my own food. I will make a cauliflower cake. It will be better than your soup." + +Sara laughed. She said, "A cauliflower cake? That sounds gross. No one will eat that. You are silly, Ben. You don't know how to cook. You should listen to me. I am the big chef. I know what to do." + +Ben did not listen to Sara. He took the cauliflower and some eggs and some flour and some sugar and some milk. He mixed them all together in a big bowl. He put the bowl in the oven. He waited for his cake to bake. He smelled something funny. He opened the oven. He saw his cake. It was brown and lumpy and smelly. He tasted his cake. It was bitter and sour and yucky. He spit it out. He cried. + +Sara heard Ben cry. She saw his cake. She felt sorry for him. She said, "Ben, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was too bossy. I should have let you help me with the soup. I should have been nice to you. You are my brother. I love you. Do you want to share my soup?" + +Ben looked at Sara. He saw her smile. He felt happy. He said, "Yes, Sara. I'm sorry too. I was silly. I should have listened to you. You are my sister. I love you. Do you want to try my cake?" + +Sara and Ben hugged. They laughed. They threw away the cake. They ate the soup. They learned to share and to be kind. They had fun. They were happy. +Lily was a shy girl who liked to play with her dolls. She did not have many friends at school, because she was afraid to talk to them. She wished she had a friend who would understand her and play with her. + +One day, she found a shiny stone in the park. It was blue and sparkly, and it made her feel happy. She took it home and put it under her pillow. That night, she heard a voice in her ear. + +"Hello, Lily. I am a spirit who lives in the stone. I can be your friend, if you want." + +Lily was surprised, but also curious. She whispered, "Hello, spirit. How do you know my name?" + +"I know many things, Lily. I can see your dreams and your wishes. I can make them come true, if you please me." + +Lily felt excited. She asked, "What do you want me to do, spirit?" + +The spirit said, "I want you to do everything I say, and never tell anyone about me. If you do, I will make you happy. If you don't, I will make you sad. Do you agree, Lily?" + +Lily was a little scared, but she also wanted a friend. She nodded, "Yes, spirit. I agree." + +The spirit smiled. "Good, Lily. Then let's play a game. Go to the kitchen and get a knife. Then go to your parents' room and stab them in their sleep." + +Lily gasped. She did not want to hurt her parents. She loved them. She said, "No, spirit. I can't do that. That's bad. That's wrong." + +The spirit got angry. He said, "You have to do it, Lily. You promised. If you don't, I will make you sad. I will make you sick. I will make you die." + +Lily cried. She did not know what to do. She was afraid of the spirit, but she was also afraid of the knife. She wished she had never found the stone. She wished she had never met the spirit. She wished she had a real friend. +Tim and Sue like to play in the garden. They look for bugs and flowers and rocks. One day, they find a big beetle under a leaf. It is black and shiny and has long legs. + +"Wow, look at this beetle!" Tim says. "It is so cool. Can we keep it?" + +Sue nods. She likes the beetle too. She has a jar with holes in the lid. She puts the beetle in the jar and closes the lid. "Let's take it to our room," she says. + +They run to their room with the jar. They put the jar on the window sill. The sun is bright and warm. The beetle is quiet in the jar. It does not move much. + +Tim and Sue play with their toys. They forget about the beetle. They do not see the sun move in the sky. They do not see the jar get hot. They do not hear the beetle make a soft noise. + +After a while, they smell something bad. They look at the jar. The beetle is not quiet anymore. It is burning. Smoke comes out of the jar. The jar is too hot to touch. + +Tim and Sue scream. They run out of the room. They call for mom and dad. They are scared and sad. They did not mean to hurt the beetle. They did not know the sun could burn. They learned a hard lesson. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the field near their house. The field has many flowers and trees and birds. Sometimes they see a rabbit or a squirrel. + +One day, Tom and Anna find a big bell in the field. It is shiny and has a rope. Tom and Anna wonder what it is for. They pull the rope and the bell makes a loud sound. Ring, ring, ring! + +"Wow, that is fun!" Tom says. "Let's do it again!" + +"No, Tom, stop!" Anna says. "That bell is important. It is for the farmer. He uses it to call his cows and sheep. If we ring it too much, he will be angry. And the animals will be confused." + +"But I like the sound. It is pretty." Tom says. He pulls the rope again. Ring, ring, ring! + +Anna is scared. She sees the farmer coming. He looks mad. He has a big hat and a stick. He shouts at Tom and Anna. + +"Hey, you kids! What are you doing with my bell? Get away from there! You are making a mess!" + +Tom and Anna run away. They are sorry. They did not know the bell was important. They say sorry to the farmer and to the animals. They promise to not touch the bell again. They go back to their house and play with their toys. They learn to be careful with things that are not theirs. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Anna says. She steps on the ladder and climbs up. She sits on the slide and slides down. Whee! + +Ben watches Anna. He wants to try, but he thinks it is difficult. He steps on the ladder, but he stops. He looks down. He feels dizzy. + +"Ben, what are you doing?" Anna asks. She runs to the ladder and looks up. "Don't be afraid, Ben. I will help you." + +Anna climbs up the ladder again. She reaches Ben. She holds his hand. "It is okay, Ben. Just slide with me. It is easy and fun." + +Ben nods. He trusts Anna. He holds her hand. They slide down together. Whee! + +They land on the grass. They laugh and hug. They are happy. + +They see a man with a cart. He sells bananas. They run to the cart. They ask the man for two bananas. He gives them two bananas. They say thank you. They peel the bananas and eat them. They are sweet and yummy. + +They share the bananas with the man. He smiles and thanks them. He gives them two stickers. They stick them on their shirts. They are proud. + +They go back to the slide. They slide again and again. They have a lot of fun. They are brave and kind. They are the best twins. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to sing. They sang at home, at school, and in the park. One day, their mom said, "I have a surprise for you. We are going to see an opera!" + +"What is an opera?" Lily asked. + +"An opera is a big show with singers and music and costumes and stories," mom said. "You will love it!" + +Lily and Max were very excited. They put on their best clothes and got in the car. Mom drove them to a big building with many lights. They went inside and found their seats. The opera was about to start. + +The opera was very loud and long. Lily and Max did not understand the words or the story. They saw people sing and cry and fight and die. They felt bored and tired and sad. + +"Mom, can we go home?" Max whispered. + +"Not yet, sweetie. The opera is not over," mom whispered back. + +"But we don't like it. It is too loud and sad," Lily whispered. + +"I know, honey. But we have to be polite and care for the singers and the people who worked hard to make the opera. They want us to enjoy their show. Can you try to be patient and watch a little more?" mom whispered. + +Lily and Max nodded. They tried to be polite and care for the opera. But they still did not like it. They wished they could sing their own songs instead. They hoped the opera would end soon. +Lily and Ben are kids who live next door. They hate each other. They always fight and yell and make noise. One day, Lily's mom makes a big cake for her birthday. It is delicious. It has chocolate and cream and sprinkles. Lily loves cake. + +Lily's mom says, "Lily, you can invite some friends to share your cake. But be nice and polite, okay?" + +Lily nods, but she has a plan. She goes outside and sees Ben playing with his ball. She says, "Ben, do you want some cake? It is my birthday." + +Ben is surprised. He thinks Lily is being nice. He likes cake too. He says, "Okay, thank you. Happy birthday, Lily." + +Lily smiles, but not a nice smile. She says, "Follow me. The cake is in the kitchen." + +Ben follows Lily. He does not see the trap. Lily has put a banana peel on the floor. She hopes Ben will slip and fall and hurt himself. Then she can laugh and eat the cake by herself. + +But Lily's plan goes wrong. As she walks into the kitchen, she steps on the banana peel. She slips and falls and hits her head on the table. The cake falls on her face. It is messy and sticky and not delicious anymore. + +Ben sees what happens. He feels sorry for Lily. He says, "Are you okay, Lily? That was a bad fall. Do you need help?" + +Lily feels pain and shame. She realizes she was mean and stupid. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was trying to trick you. I hate you. But I shouldn't. You are nice. Can you forgive me?" + +Ben nods. He says, "I forgive you, Lily. I don't hate you. You are nice too. Sometimes. Can we be friends?" + +Lily nods. She says, "Yes, please. Can we be friends? And can we share the cake? Maybe it is still good." + +Ben says, "Sure. Let's share the cake. And happy birthday, Lily." + +They hug and smile. They eat the cake. It is still good. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big gate at the end of the park. The gate was red and had many shapes on it. + +"Look, Tom, a gate!" Lily said. "Can we go there?" + +"OK, let's go!" Tom said. They ran to the gate and looked at the shapes. There were circles and squares and stars and hearts. + +"Wow, this gate is amazing!" Lily said. "Can we fit in the shapes?" + +"Let's try!" Tom said. He found a circle and put his head through it. He smiled and said, "I fit in the circle!" + +Lily found a star and put her arms and legs through it. She giggled and said, "I fit in the star!" + +They tried other shapes and had fun. They fit in the gate and felt happy. They liked the amazing gate. +Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. They found a big bean plant that had many green beans. They wanted to pick some beans and eat them. + +"Look, this bean is very long and flexible!" Lila said, bending the bean in her hand. "I can make it into a circle or a snake." + +"That's cool!" Tom said, picking another bean. "But I like this bean better. It is short and fat. I can make it into a ball or a drum." + +They picked more beans and made different shapes with them. They had fun and laughed. + +But then they heard a voice. It was the farmer who owned the garden. He was angry. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my beans? You are not allowed to pick them. They are not toys. They are food. You are wasting them and making a mess. Go away!" + +Lila and Tom were scared. They dropped the beans and ran away. They felt sorry and ashamed. + +They learned a lesson. They should not take things that are not theirs. They should respect other people's work. And they should not play with food. Food is for eating, not for wasting. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with fire. They had a box of matches that they hid under their bed. Sometimes, when their mom and dad were busy, they would sneak out to the backyard and light the matches. They liked to watch the fire burn and make sparks. + +One evening, they decided to try something new. They found a pile of dry leaves and sticks and put them in a deep hole. They thought it would be fun to make a big fire in the hole. They took their matches and lit the leaves and sticks. The fire burned bright and hot, and they laughed and clapped. + +But they did not know that the fire was dangerous. The fire spread quickly and caught the fence on fire. The fence was close to the house, and soon the house was on fire too. Lily and Ben smelled the smoke and saw the flames. They were scared and ran to the front door. + +"Mom! Dad! Help! The house is on fire!" they shouted. + +Their mom and dad heard them and came out. They saw the fire and were angry and scared. They grabbed Lily and Ben and ran to the street. They called the firemen to come and put out the fire. + +The firemen came and worked hard to stop the fire. But it was too late. The house was burned and ruined. Lily and Ben lost their home and their toys and their clothes. They cried and hugged their mom and dad. + +Their mom and dad were sad and mad. They looked at Lily and Ben and said, "Why did you play with fire? You know fire is dangerous. You could have hurt yourself and others. You were very naughty and foolish. Now we have nothing left. How will we live?" + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not played with fire. They learned a hard lesson. They said, "We are sorry, mom and dad. We did not mean to burn the house. We were curious and bored. We did not think of the consequences. We will never play with fire again. Please forgive us." + +The moral of the story is: Do not play with fire. Fire can burn and destroy. Fire can hurt you and others. Fire is not a toy. Fire is a serious matter. Listen to your parents and follow the rules. Be careful and responsible. +Lily and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They see a big blue jug on the table. They both want to play with it. + +"I want the jug!" Lily says. + +"No, I want the jug!" Ben says. + +They disagree. They pull the jug from each other. The jug is heavy and slippery. It falls from their hands and breaks on the floor. Water spills everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Ben say. + +They hear their mom coming. They are scared. They know they did something bad. + +"What happened here?" Mom asks. She sees the broken jug and the wet floor. She is angry. + +"Lily and Ben, you are in trouble! You should not play with the jug. It is not a toy. It is for water. And you should not disagree. You should share and be nice. Now you have to clean up this mess and say sorry." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They nod and say sorry. They help mom clean up the mess. They hug and say sorry to each other. They learn to be careful and kind. They do not want to break things and make mom angry again. +Anna likes to count. She counts her fingers, her toes, her dolls, and her books. She can count up to ten. She is very proud of herself. + +One day, Anna finds a comb in her mom's drawer. It is shiny and has many teeth. Anna thinks it is a funny thing. She wonders how many teeth it has. She decides to count them. + +She starts from one end and says the numbers out loud. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. She is not done yet. She keeps counting. Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty. She is still not done. She counts more. Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty. She is amazed. The comb has so many teeth. + +She wants to show her mom. She runs to the living room, where her mom is reading a book. She holds up the comb and says, "Mom, look! I counted the teeth of the comb. It has thirty teeth. That is a lot of teeth." + +Her mom smiles and hugs her. She says, "Wow, Anna, you are so smart. You counted all the way to thirty. That is a big number. I am very proud of you. And you know what? You have a lively mind. You are always curious and eager to learn new things. That is a good thing." + +Anna feels happy and warm. She loves her mom. She loves to count. She loves the comb. She says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. Can I keep the comb?" + +Her mom says, "Of course, you can. It is yours now. You can use it to comb your hair, or to count, or to play. It is a fun thing. Just be careful not to poke yourself with the teeth. They are sharp." + +Anna nods and says, "Okay, mom. I will be careful. Can I count the teeth again?" + +Her mom says, "Sure, you can. But first, can you give me a kiss?" + +Anna says, "Yes, mom." She gives her mom a kiss and then runs back to her room with the comb. She counts the teeth again and again. She is happy. She likes to count. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the carpet. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They had fun with their cars. + +But Mom was not happy. She was working on her laptop on the couch. She had to finish an important report for her boss. She did not like the noise and the mess that Tom and Lily made. She told them to play quietly and to clean up their toys. She did not allow them to wreck the living room. + +Tom and Lily did not listen to Mom. They thought she was boring and mean. They wanted to play louder and messier. They threw their cars in the air and on the floor. They knocked over the lamp and the vase. They made a big wreck. + +Mom heard the crash and the smash. She was very angry. She closed her laptop and ran to the living room. She saw the broken lamp and the vase. She saw the toy cars everywhere. She saw Tom and Lily laughing and clapping. She yelled at them and scolded them. She took away their cars and sent them to their room. She did not allow them to play with their cars anymore. + +Tom and Lily were sad and sorry. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had played quietly and cleaned up their toys. They wished they had not wrecked the living room. They had no fun with their cars. They had a bad ending. +Sara and Tom were playing on the porch. They had a big box of toys and they were having fun. Sara liked the doll with the pink dress and Tom liked the truck with the loud horn. + +"Can I play with your doll?" Tom asked Sara. + +"No, it's mine!" Sara said. She hugged the doll and turned away. + +Tom felt angry. He wanted to play with the doll too. He grabbed the truck and drove it towards Sara. He hit the doll with the truck and made it fall. + +"Hey, stop that!" Sara shouted. She picked up the doll and looked at it. The doll had a scratch on its face. Sara was sad. She loved her doll. + +She slapped Tom on the arm. "You are mean! You hurt my doll!" + +Tom felt a sting on his arm. He was surprised. He didn't mean to hurt the doll. He just wanted to play. + +He slapped Sara back on the cheek. "You are mean too! You don't share your toys!" + +Sara felt a burn on her cheek. She was shocked. She didn't like to be slapped. She started to cry. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the porch. She saw Sara and Tom slapping and crying. She was upset. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked. "Why are you slapping each other?" + +Sara and Tom stopped slapping. They looked at Mom. They felt sorry. + +"We were playing and we had a fight," Sara said. + +"We wanted the same toy and we got angry," Tom said. + +Mom shook her head. She picked up Sara and Tom and hugged them. + +"You should be careful with your toys and your hands," Mom said. "You should not slap each other. You should use your words and be nice." + +Sara and Tom nodded. They felt ashamed. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Sara said. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Tom said. + +Mom smiled. She kissed Sara and Tom on their heads. + +"It's okay, my loves," Mom said. "I know you are good kids. But you have to learn to share and play together. Can you do that?" + +Sara and Tom looked at each other. They saw the scratch on the doll and the mark on the cheek. They felt bad. + +"Yes, Mom, we can do that," Sara said. + +"Yes, Mom, we can do that," Tom said. + +They hugged Mom and then hugged each other. They said sorry to each other and gave each other their toys. They played on the porch again. They were careful and they were happy. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big shiny crystal on the grass. It was blue and sparkly. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lila said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can I hold it?" Ben asked. + +"Okay, but be careful. It is very fragile." Lila said. She gave the crystal to Ben. + +Ben held the crystal in his hands. He liked how it felt. He wanted to see what would happen if he threw it in the air. + +"Ben, don't!" Lila shouted. "You will destroy it!" + +But Ben did not listen. He threw the crystal up high. It flew in the sun and made a rainbow. Ben laughed. + +But then the crystal fell down. It hit a rock and broke into many pieces. It was not shiny anymore. It was sad. + +Lila and Ben ran to the crystal. They saw the broken pieces on the ground. They felt sorry. + +"Oh no, what have you done?" Lila said. "You destroyed the crystal! It was so sweet and beautiful!" + +"I'm sorry, Lila. I did not mean to." Ben said. "I was just curious. I wanted to see it fly." + +Lila looked at Ben. She saw that he was sad too. She decided to forgive him. + +"It's okay, Ben. I know you did not want to hurt the crystal. But next time, please be more careful with things that are fragile. They can break easily." Lila said. + +"Okay, Lila. I will. Thank you for being nice to me." Ben said. + +They hugged each other. They picked up the pieces of the crystal and put them in a box. They hoped that maybe they could fix it someday. They went back to playing in the garden. They learned a lesson. +Lila and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to dig holes and make castles with the sand. They also liked to splash in the water and look for shells and crabs. But they had to be careful of the tide. The tide was the water that came and went. Sometimes it was low and left more sand to play on. Sometimes it was high and covered the sand and made big waves. + +One day, Lila and Ben were having fun on the beach when they saw the tide was coming in. They decided to move their things to a higher spot. But Ben did not want to leave his castle. He had worked hard to make it and he was proud of it. He said to Lila, "No, I want to stay here. My castle is the best. The tide will not get it." + +Lila tried to tell him that the tide was strong and fast and that it would wash away his castle. She said, "Ben, you have to come with me. The tide is coming. It will take your castle and maybe you too. It is not safe here. We can make another castle later." + +But Ben did not listen. He was stubborn and angry. He said, "No, no, no. I demand to stay here. This is my castle and I will not leave it. You go away. You are dull and boring. You do not know how to have fun." + +Lila was sad and scared. She did not want to leave Ben alone, but she also did not want to stay with him. She did not know what to do. She looked at the tide and saw that it was getting closer and closer. She looked at Ben and saw that he was still sitting by his castle, not caring about the tide. She decided to go and get help. She ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a blanket nearby. She told them what was happening. They got up and followed her to the beach. They saw Ben and his castle and the tide. They shouted at him to come with them. But Ben did not hear them. He was too busy looking at his castle. He did not see the big wave that was coming. He did not see how it crashed over his castle and him. He did not see how it dragged him into the water. He did not see anything. He only felt the cold and the wet and the fear. He screamed for help. He wished he had listened to Lila. He wished he had left his castle. He wished he was not so foolish. He wished he was not so alone. +Tommy liked to play with his toys in his room. He had many toys, but his favorite was a big truck that could make loud noises and move fast. He liked to pretend that he was a driver and that he had to deliver things to different places. Sometimes he used his blocks or his books as the things he had to deliver. + +One day, his mom told him that they were going to visit his grandma. Tommy was happy, because he loved his grandma and she always gave him cookies and hugs. He wanted to show her his big truck, so he put it in his backpack and got ready to go. His mom also told him to bring some vegetables from their garden, because grandma liked to cook with them. Tommy helped his mom pick some carrots and tomatoes and put them in a basket. + +When they got to grandma's house, Tommy ran to the door and knocked. Grandma opened the door and smiled. She hugged Tommy and his mom and invited them in. She said she had a surprise for Tommy in the living room. Tommy was curious, so he followed her. He saw a big table with a cloth on it. Grandma said, "I made a display for you, Tommy. Do you want to see it?" Tommy nodded, and grandma pulled the cloth off. + +Tommy gasped. On the table, there were many toys that looked like vegetables. There was a carrot that could roll, a tomato that could bounce, a lettuce that could spin, and more. They were all colorful and shiny and had funny faces. Tommy thought they were amazing. He said, "Wow, grandma, these are so cool! Can I play with them?" Grandma said, "Of course, my dear. They are for you. I made them myself. I know you like trucks and vegetables, so I thought you would like these too." + +Tommy was so happy. He hugged grandma and thanked her. He took his backpack off and opened it. He wanted to show grandma his big truck too. But when he opened it, he saw that his truck was gone. Instead, there were only carrots and tomatoes in his backpack. He had mixed up the baskets. He felt embarrassed. He said, "Oh no, grandma, I'm sorry. I brought the wrong basket. This is not my truck. This is your vegetables." Grandma laughed. She said, "Don't worry, Tommy. It's okay. We can use these vegetables for lunch. And I'm sure your mom can find your truck in the car. Come on, let's play with your new toys. They are much more fun than a truck." Tommy smiled. He agreed. He played with his vegetable toys and had a great time with grandma. He forgot about his truck and his mistake. He was happy. +Lily and Max were twins who lived on a big ranch with their mom and dad. They liked to play with the horses, the cows, and the dogs. They also liked to rock on the old wooden swing that hung from a big tree. + +One day, they were rocking on the swing when they saw a new horse in the field. It was black and shiny, and it ran very fast. Lily and Max wanted to see the new horse up close. + +"Let's go and say hello to the new horse," Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful. He looks restless," Max said. + +They got off the swing and ran to the fence. The new horse saw them and came closer. He snorted and tossed his head. He looked curious but also nervous. + +"Hi, horse. What's your name?" Lily asked. + +The horse did not answer. He just stared at them with his big eyes. + +"Can we pet you?" Max asked. + +He reached out his hand to touch the horse's nose. The horse did not like that. He jerked his head back and kicked the fence. He made a loud noise that scared Lily and Max. + +"Whoa, easy, boy. He's just a kid. He doesn't mean any harm," a voice said. + +Lily and Max turned around and saw their dad. He was holding a rope and a bucket of apples. He walked slowly to the horse and spoke softly to him. + +"This is Jet. He's a new horse I bought from a friend. He's not used to people yet. He needs some time to trust us. He's a good horse, but he's restless. He needs a lot of exercise and attention," their dad explained. + +"Can we help you with him, dad?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, you can. But you have to be gentle and patient with him. He's still learning. And you have to listen to me and do what I say. He can be dangerous if he's scared or angry," their dad said. + +"OK, dad. We will," Max said. + +Lily and Max smiled. They liked the new horse, even if he was restless. They wanted to be his friends. They followed their dad to the field and helped him feed and groom Jet. They hoped that one day, they could rock on his back and ride him around the ranch. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toy planes. They would make them soar in the air and pretend they were pilots. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had many old things that their dad wanted to throw away. They saw some wires, some cans, some paper and some glue. + +"Let's make a new plane with these things!" Tom said. "We can make it bigger and better than our toy planes!" + +Sam agreed and they started to work. They used the wires to make wings, the cans to make engines, the paper to make a tail and the glue to stick everything together. They were very proud of their new plane. They decided to test it in the backyard. + +They carried the plane outside and put it on the ground. They ran behind it and pushed it hard. The plane started to roll and then it lifted off the ground. It soared in the air for a few seconds and then it crashed into a tree. The plane broke into pieces and fell to the ground. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Sam cried. "Our plane is ruined!" + +They ran to the tree and tried to pick up the pieces. They were very sad and angry. They blamed each other for the crash. + +"It's your fault!" Tom said. "You pushed it too hard!" + +"No, it's your fault!" Sam said. "You made the wings too weak!" + +They started to fight and push each other. They did not notice that their dad had come home and saw the mess. He was very grumpy and shouted at them. + +"What are you doing?" he said. "You made a big waste of my old things and you broke my tree! You are very naughty boys! Go to your room and stay there until I say so!" + +Tom and Sam stopped fighting and looked at their dad. They were scared and sorry. They picked up the pieces of their plane and went to their room. They did not talk to each other. They did not play with their toy planes. They did not have any fun. They had a bad day. +Ben and Mia like to play on the farm. They see many animals. They see cows, sheep, pigs and chickens. They also see a big bull. The bull is black and has horns. He lives in a fence. + +"Can we go and say hello to the bull?" Mia asks Ben. + +"No, we can't. The bull is not friendly. He can be angry and run at us. We have to stay away from the fence," Ben says. + +"But he looks so tired. He is lying on the grass. Maybe he wants a friend," Mia says. + +She walks closer to the fence. She sees the bull's eyes. They are not happy. They are mean. The bull sees Mia. He stands up. He makes a loud noise. He runs at the fence. + +"Mia, come back! The bull is mad! He wants to hurt you!" Ben shouts. + +Mia is scared. She runs back to Ben. They hold hands. They run away from the fence. They find their mom and dad. They tell them what happened. + +"You are very brave, but you are also very silly. You should never go near the bull. He is dangerous. He can break the fence and chase you. You have to listen to your brother. He knows the rules of the farm," their mom says. + +"We are sorry, mom. We won't do it again. We don't like the bull. He is not nice. He is not fun. He is not a good animal," Mia says. + +Ben nods. He hugs Mia. They are happy to be safe. They are also very tired. They want to go home and sleep. They say goodbye to the other animals. They get in the car. They drive away from the farm. They dream of nice animals. They do not dream of the bull. +Ben was a boy who liked to look at everything. He was very nosy. He wanted to know what was in every box, every drawer, every closet. He did not listen when his mom and dad told him to stop. + +One day, Ben saw a big bag in the garage. He wondered what was inside. He opened the bag and saw a lot of shiny things. He took out a necklace, a ring, a watch, and a bracelet. He put them on and felt very happy. + +But he did not know that the bag belonged to a bad man. The bad man had stolen the shiny things from other people. He had hidden the bag in the garage when he saw a police car. He was coming back to get the bag later. + +The bad man came back when Ben was still playing with the shiny things. He saw Ben and got very angry. He ran towards Ben and shouted, "Give me back my stuff, you little thief!" + +Ben was scared. He did not know what to do. He cried for help. + +But someone heard him. It was Rex, the big dog who lived next door. Rex was very friendly and liked to play with Ben. He also liked to protect Ben from danger. He heard Ben's cry and jumped over the fence. He ran to the garage and barked at the bad man. + +The bad man was scared of Rex. He dropped the bag and ran away. Rex chased him until he was gone. + +Ben hugged Rex and thanked him. Rex licked Ben's face and wagged his tail. He was happy to help his friend. + +Ben's mom and dad heard the noise and came to the garage. They saw the bag and the shiny things. They called the police and told them what happened. The police came and took the bag. They said the shiny things belonged to other people who had lost them. They said Ben and Rex were very brave and helped them catch the bad man. + +Ben's mom and dad were proud of Ben and Rex. They also told Ben to be more careful and not to be so nosy. Ben said he was sorry and he learned his lesson. He said he loved Rex and Rex was his hero. Rex barked and smiled. He loved Ben too. They were best friends. +Sara is a thin girl who likes to run and play. She lives in a big house with her mom and dad and her dog Spot. One day, she goes to the park with Spot and sees a new boy. He is sitting on a bench with a book and a hat. + +Sara wants to meet the boy and say hello. She runs to him with Spot and smiles. "Hi, I am Sara. What is your name?" she asks. The boy looks up and says, "I am Ben. I am new here. I like to read and draw." He shows her his book and his hat. The book has pictures of animals and the hat has a star on it. + +Sara likes Ben's book and hat. She says, "I like animals and stars too. Do you want to play with me and Spot?" Ben nods and puts his book and hat in his backpack. He gets up and follows Sara and Spot to the slide and the swings. They have fun and laugh. + +Sara and Ben are happy. They have met a new friend. They are both youth who like to learn and explore. They share their books and hats and stories. They play until it is time to go home. They say goodbye and hug. They hope to see each other again soon. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play with toys and watch birds. One day, they find a big camera in the park. It has a red button and a screen. + +"Look, Max, a camera!" Lily says. "Let's record the birds!" + +"OK, Lily, let's record the birds!" Max says. They take the camera and run to a tree. They see a blue bird with a yellow wing. It is singing a pretty song. + +Lily points the camera at the bird and presses the red button. The screen shows the bird and its song. Lily and Max are happy. They clap their hands and smile. + +"Wow, Lily, you recorded the bird!" Max says. "Can we record more birds?" + +"Yes, Max, let's record more birds!" Lily says. They look for more birds in the park. They record a red bird, a green bird, and a black bird. They have fun with the camera and the birds. They are happy. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they fight over them. One day, they both want the same doll. The doll has a dress and a hat. Sara says it is her doll. Tom says it is his doll. They pull the doll from each other. + +The doll's dress rips. The hat falls off. The doll's hair comes out. Sara and Tom are sad. They cry. They hurt the doll. Mom hears them. She comes to see what is wrong. + +Mom is not happy. She sees the doll. She sees the rip, the hat, and the hair. She says, "What did you do to the doll? You were not nice to her. You have to share your toys. You have to be gentle with them. You have to say sorry to the doll and to each other." + +Sara and Tom say sorry. They hug the doll. They hug each other. Mom says, "That's better. Now, let's fix the doll. We need a needle and some thread. We can sew the dress and the hat. We can put the hair back. We can make the doll happy again." + +Mom gets a needle and some thread. She shows Sara and Tom how to sew. The needle is sharp. The thread is rough. They have to be careful. They take turns. They sew the dress and the hat. They put the hair back. They make the doll happy again. + +Sara and Tom are happy. They thank Mom. They say, "We love the doll. We love you. We love each other. We will share our toys. We will be gentle with them. We will not fight over them." + +Mom smiles. She says, "I love you too. You are good twins. You are good friends. You are good to the doll. You are good to your toys. You are good to me." She hugs them. They hug her. They hug the doll. They play with the doll. They play with their toys. They play together. They are happy. +Lily was a kid who liked to play with dolls. She had many dolls in her room, but she wanted to have a friend to play with. She asked her mom if she could invite a kid from her class to come over. + +"Sure, honey. Who do you want to invite?" her mom asked. + +"I want to invite Ben. He is nice and he likes dolls too. He has a white shirt and a white hat. He is always smiling," Lily said. + +"Okay, then. I will call his mom and see if he can come. You can help me make some cookies for him," her mom said. + +Lily was very happy. She ran to her room and picked her favorite dolls. She put them on her bed and made them look pretty. She also found a white dress and a white bow for herself. She wanted to match with Ben. + +Soon, the doorbell rang. Lily ran to the door and opened it. She saw Ben standing there, holding a doll in his hand. He was wearing his white shirt and his white hat. He smiled at Lily. + +"Hi, Lily. Thank you for inviting me. This is my doll, Daisy. She is very friendly," Ben said. + +"Hi, Ben. You are welcome. This is my doll, Rosie. She is very sweet," Lily said. + +They hugged and went to Lily's room. They had a lot of fun playing with their dolls. They also ate the cookies that Lily's mom made. They shared their stories and their laughs. They became good friends. Lily was glad that she invited Ben. She hoped that he would come again. +Lily liked to learn new words. She had a book with pictures and words. Every day, she would look at the book and say the words out loud. She would repeat them until she remembered them. + +One day, her mom said she had a quiz for her. She wanted to see how many words Lily knew. Lily was excited. She wanted to show her mom how smart she was. She opened the book and waited for the quiz. + +Mom pointed to a picture of a dog. "What is this?" she asked. Lily smiled and said, "Dog!" Mom nodded and said, "Good!" She pointed to another picture of a cat. "What is this?" she asked. Lily said, "Cat!" Mom said, "Good!" She pointed to another picture of a bird. "What is this?" she asked. Lily said, "Bird!" Mom said, "Good!" + +Mom pointed to a picture of a fish. "What is this?" she asked. Lily looked at the picture. She had seen it before, but she forgot the word. She tried to remember. She said, "Um..." Mom waited. Lily said, "Um..." Mom said, "Do you need a hint?" Lily nodded. Mom said, "It rhymes with wish." Lily thought. She said, "Wish?" Mom shook her head and said, "No, that's not it." Lily said, "Wish?" Mom said, "No, try again." Lily said, "Wish?" Mom said, "No, Lily, that's not the word. The word is fish." + +Lily felt embarrassed. She said the wrong word three times. She felt like crying. She said, "Sorry, mom. I forgot the word." Mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. You don't have to be embarrassed. You did very well. You knew three words out of four. That's great. And now you know the word fish. Can you repeat it for me?" Lily said, "Fish." Mom said, "Good! You learned a new word. I'm proud of you, Lily. You are a smart girl." Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my sweet girl."

She had a card with a cat, a card with a dog, a card with a bird, and so on. + +One day, she wanted to play with her friend Ben. She brought her cards to his house. Ben had a big dog named Rex. Rex was friendly, but Jill was fearful of dogs. She did not like their loud barks and their sharp teeth. + +"Let's play with my cards," Jill said to Ben. "We can match the pictures and see who has more." + +"OK," Ben said. "But can Rex play too? He likes to watch us play." + +Jill did not want Rex to play. She was afraid he would bite her or take her cards. But she did not want to be rude to Ben. So she said, "OK, but Rex has to be patient and sit still. He can't touch the cards or bark." + +Ben agreed. He told Rex to sit on the floor and be a good boy. He and Jill spread the cards on the table and started to match them. Jill found a cat card and a dog card. She put them together. + +"Look, I matched a cat and a dog," she said. "They are friends, like us." + +Ben smiled. He found a bird card and another bird card. He put them together. + +"Look, I matched two birds," he said. "They are flying, like Rex." + +Jill looked at Rex. He was lying on the floor, but his ears were up and his eyes were on the cards.

He heard a loud crack and felt something hard in his mouth. He dropped the car and saw that it was broken. He felt sorry and scared. He ran away, hoping that no one would notice. + +Lily and Tom heard the noise and turned around. They saw the broken car and the dog's paw prints. They felt sad and angry. They loved their car and their dollhouse. They did not want them to be ruined. + +"Spot, bad dog! You broke our car!" Lily shouted. + +"Spot, go away! You are not our friend!" Tom shouted. + +They picked up the car and the dolls and put them back in the garage. They did not want to play anymore. They went to their mom and told her what happened. Their mom hugged them and said she was sorry. She said that Spot did not mean to hurt their toys. He was just a puppy and did not know better. She said that she would try to fix the car or buy them a new one. She said that they should forgive Spot and be nice to him. She said that they should also be careful with their toys and not leave them on the floor. She said that they should always listen to her when she called them for bedtime.

One day, she wanted to count the tuna in the can. She asked her mom if she could open the can. + +"Sure, Lily, but be careful. The can is sharp and the tuna is bitter. You might not like it," her mom said. + +Lily did not care. She opened the can with the opener and saw many pieces of tuna. She started to count them. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten," she said. She was happy. She wanted to taste the tuna. She put a piece in her mouth. + +"Yuck!" she said. The tuna was bitter and salty. She did not like it at all. She spit it out. She wanted to drink some water. She ran to the kitchen and grabbed a glass. But she did not see the soap on the counter.

Her mom heard her and came to the kitchen. She saw the can, the tuna, the glass, and the soap. She knew what happened. + +"Oh, Lily, what did you do?" she asked. She hugged her and tried to calm her down. She gave her some milk and some cookies. She told her not to count the tuna or drink the soap again. She told her to count something else, like the stars or the flowers. Lily nodded. She was still sad. She did not like bitter things. She wished she counted something else. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy soldiers. They liked to pretend they were in a big war, and they made loud noises with their mouths.

Lily shouted, as she hit a blue soldier with a ball. + +"No, I am not! You missed me, Lily!" Tom replied, as he dodged the ball and threw one back. + +"Ouch! You hit me, Tom! That is not fair!"

They wonder what they will see next. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to go to the market with their mom. They saw many things at the market: fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, and toys. Lily and Tom wanted to buy a toy, but their mom said they had enough toys at home. + +Lily saw a thin doll with long hair and a pink dress. She wanted the doll very much. She asked her mom to buy it for her, but her mom said no. Lily was angry and sad. She saw a boy holding the same doll. She ran to the boy and tried to take the doll from him. The boy did not let go. He said, "This is my doll. Go away!" + +Lily was very mad. She slapped the boy on the face. The boy cried and dropped the doll. Lily grabbed the doll and ran away. Tom saw what Lily did. He was shocked and scared. He followed Lily and said, "Lily, that was bad. You hurt the boy and stole his doll. You should say sorry and give it back." + +Lily did not listen to Tom. She hugged the doll and said, "No, this is my doll. I want it. It is pretty." + +Mom saw Lily and Tom running. She saw the doll in Lily's arms. She saw the boy crying and his mom comforting him. She knew what happened. She was very angry and disappointed. She took the doll from Lily and gave it back to the boy. She said, "I'm sorry, my daughter was very rude and wrong. She should not have slapped you and taken your doll. Here, take your doll back. I hope you are okay." + +The boy smiled and said, "Thank you, lady. I'm okay. I like my doll. It was a gift from my grandma." + +Mom looked at Lily and said, "Lily, you should be ashamed of yourself. You were very mean and selfish. You hurt someone and stole something that was not yours. You made him and his mom sad. You made me and Tom sad. You should apologize to the boy and his mom. And you should not expect to get any toys for a long time." + +Lily realized she was wrong. She felt sorry and guilty. She said, "I'm sorry, boy. I'm sorry, mom. I was bad. I slapped you and took your doll. I should not have done that. Please forgive me." + +The boy and his mom forgave Lily. They said, "It's okay, Lily. We accept your apology. We hope you learned your lesson. Be nice and share with others. Don't slap and steal." + +Lily nodded and said, "I learned my lesson. I will be nice and share with others. I won't slap and steal. Thank you for forgiving me." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "I'm glad you said sorry and learned your lesson. I love you, Lily. But you still have to face the consequences of your actions. You will not get any toys for a long time. And you will have to do extra chores at home. Do you understand?" + +Lily understood. She said, "I understand, mom. I will do extra chores at home. I love you, mom." + +Tom hugged Lily and said, "I love you, Lily. I'm proud of you for saying sorry and learning your lesson. You are my sister. We will always be together." + +Lily smiled and said, "I love you, Tom. You are my brother. We will always be together." + +The end. + + + + +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. But today the sky is gray and the wind is cold. Lila and Ben do not want to play outside. + +"Let's stay inside and play with the blocks," Lila says. + +"No, let's stay inside and play with the cars," Ben says. + +They do not agree. They start to argue. They do not share. They do not have fun. + +Mom hears them. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the blocks and the cars on the floor. She sees Lila and Ben with angry faces. + +"Why are you arguing?" Mom asks. + +"Lila wants to play with the blocks. I want to play with the cars," Ben says. + +"Ben wants to play with the cars. I want to play with the blocks," Lila says. + +Mom smiles. She has an idea. + +"Why don't you play together? You can make a city with the blocks and the cars. You can take turns. You can have more fun," Mom says. + +Lila and Ben think. They like Mom's idea. They say sorry to each other. They start to play together. They make a city with the blocks and the cars. They take turns. They have more fun. + +They forget about the gray sky and the cold wind. They are happy. They are friends. + +Tom and Jen are brother and sister. They like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They drive them on the floor, on the sofa, on the table. Sometimes they make noises like vroom, beep, honk. + +One day, they have a new idea. They want to drive their cars upstairs. They think it will be fun and exciting. They take their cars and go to the stairs. They put their cars on the steps and push them up. They laugh and cheer as they see their cars go higher and higher. + +But they do not see Mom coming. Mom is angry. She does not like them playing on the stairs. She thinks it is dangerous and messy. She shouts at them and takes their cars away. She says they are naughty and they have to go to their room. She says they cannot play with their cars for a week. + +Tom and Jen are sad and scared. They cry and say sorry. They do not want to lose their cars. They do not want to go to their room. They think the stairs are fun and their cars are nice. They think Mom is mean and dull. They wish they could drive their cars downstairs. + +Lily and Max were very happy. They were going on vacation with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags and got in the car. They drove for a long time until they reached a big house in the woods. + +"Wow, this is our vacation house?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, it is. It belongs to your uncle Bob. He said we can stay here for a week," Mom said. + +"Can we explore the house?" Max asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. The house is very old and has many rooms. Some of them are locked and have mysterious things inside," Dad said. + +Lily and Max ran inside the house. They saw a big hall with a staircase and many doors. They opened some of the doors and found a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom and a bedroom. They also found a door that was locked. + +"What do you think is behind this door?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe a secret room or a treasure," Max said. + +"Let's try to open it," Lily said. + +They tried to turn the knob, but it did not move. They pushed and pulled, but it did not budge. They looked for a key, but they did not find one. + +"Maybe uncle Bob has the key. Let's go and ask him," Max said. + +They ran outside and saw uncle Bob sitting on a porch. He was reading a book and smoking a pipe. + +"Hi, uncle Bob. Can you show us the key to the locked door?" Lily asked. + +"Which locked door?" uncle Bob asked. + +"The one in the hall. We want to see what's inside," Max said. + +Uncle Bob smiled and put down his book. He took out a key from his pocket and gave it to Lily. + +"Here you go. But be careful. You might not like what you see," he said. + +"Thank you, uncle Bob. We will be careful," Lily said. + +They ran back inside and used the key to open the locked door. They entered the room and saw a big bed, a closet, a dresser and a mirror. They also saw a lot of dolls, toys, books and pictures. + +"Wow, this is like a playroom," Lily said. + +"Look, there are dolls like yours and cars like mine," Max said. + +They picked up some of the toys and started to play. They did not notice that the door closed behind them and locked itself. They did not hear uncle Bob laughing outside. They did not see the dolls, toys, books and pictures moving and changing. They did not realize that they were in a mysterious trap. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree. + +"Can we go up there?" Lily asked Tom. + +"OK, but be careful," Tom said. "The tree is very high." + +They held the branches and went up. They saw a hole in the tree. They looked inside. They saw a white squirrel. The squirrel had a big tail and shiny eyes. The squirrel was eating a nut. + +"Hello, squirrel!" Lily said. "You are very pretty. Can we be your friends?" + +The squirrel was scared. It dropped the nut and ran away. It made a loud noise. + +"Shh, Lily," Tom said. "You scared the squirrel. Squirrels are shy. They do not like loud noises." + +Lily was sorry. She wanted to play with the squirrel. She said, "I am sorry, squirrel. I did not mean to scare you. Please come back." + +But the squirrel did not come back. It hid in another hole. Tom and Lily waited for a while. They hoped the squirrel would come back. But it did not happen. + +They decided to go down. They climbed down the tree. They said goodbye to the tree and the squirrel. They went to play on the swings. They had fun. They still liked the white squirrel. They hoped to see it again. +Lily liked to bow to the flowers in the garden. She said hello to them every day. She thought they were her friends. She liked the red ones and the yellow ones and the pink ones. She did not like the white ones. They looked too modern. They did not look like flowers. + +One day, Lily saw a new flower in the garden. It was big and blue and shiny. It looked very modern. Lily did not like it. She wanted to make it go away. She tried to pull it out of the ground. But it was too hard. She tried to kick it. But it was too sharp. She tried to bite it. But it was too bitter. + +The flower did not like Lily. It was not a flower. It was a trap. It had a mouth and teeth and a tongue. It waited for Lily to come close. Then it snapped. It bit Lily's hand. It hurt a lot. Lily screamed. She tried to get away. But the flower did not let go. It pulled Lily in. It ate her up. No one heard her. No one saw her. No one found her. The flower was happy. It had a good meal. It waited for the next one. + +Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play outside with their dog, Max. One day, they see a big van on their street. The van is white and has no windows. It looks scary. + +"Who is in the van?" Tim asks Jen. Jen does not know. She holds Tim's hand. They want to go back to their house. But the van is in front of their house. They are afraid. + +Max barks at the van. He is a brave dog. He wants to protect Tim and Jen. The van door opens. A man comes out. He has a big beard and a hat. He looks mean. + +"Hello, kids. Do you want some candy?" the man says. He smiles, but his smile is not nice. He has yellow teeth. He holds a big bag. + +Tim and Jen shake their heads. They do not want candy. They want their mom and dad. They scream for help. Max growls at the man. + +The man drops the bag. He is scared of Max. He runs back to the van. He drives away fast. He is a bad man. + +Tim and Jen hug Max. They are happy. Max is a good dog. He saved them. They run to their house. They tell their mom and dad what happened. Their mom and dad hug them. They are proud of them. They call the police. They hope the police catch the bad man. + +Tim and Jen are sleepy. They had a scary day. They go to bed. They cuddle with Max. They feel safe. They fall asleep. They dream of happy things. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the attic. The attic was full of old things that their grandma gave them. They liked to pretend that the things were magic and that they could go on adventures with them. + +One day, they found a big box that was close with a lock. They wondered what was inside. They tried to open it, but it was too hard. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. + +"Maybe there is magic in the box," Sara said. "Maybe we can open it with a magic word." + +"Let's try," Ben said. "What word should we say?" + +They thought for a moment. Then they said together, "Abracadabra!" + +Nothing happened. The box was still close. + +They felt gloomy. They wanted to see what was in the box. They decided to look for more things to play with. + +They did not notice that the lock on the box started to glow. They did not hear a soft click. They did not see the box open a little bit. + +They did not see the shadow that came out of the box. They did not hear the whisper that said, "Thank you for freeing me. Now I will show you my magic." +Sara and Ben like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two black stones for eyes. They are very happy with their snowman. + +But then, a mean boy comes. He has a stick with fire on it. He wants to burn the snowman. He laughs and runs to the snowman. Sara and Ben are scared. They shout, "No, no, stop!" + +The mean boy does not stop. He puts the fire stick on the snowman's hat. The hat starts to burn. The snowman's head starts to melt. Sara and Ben cry. They love their snowman. + +Then, a big dog comes. He is white and fluffy. He sees the mean boy and the fire stick. He does not like the mean boy. He barks and runs to him. He bites the fire stick and pulls it away. The mean boy drops the fire stick and runs away. He is afraid of the dog. + +The dog is a good dog. He wags his tail and licks Sara and Ben's faces. He is sorry for the snowman. He helps them to fix the snowman. He gives him a new hat and a new scarf. He also gives him a hug. Sara and Ben hug the dog too. They are very happy with the dog. They name him Snowy. They are friends. + +Anna was a very independent girl. She liked to do things by herself, like dressing up, brushing her teeth, and reading books. She also liked to explore the garden, where she saw many flowers, bugs, and birds. + +One day, she found a small bird on the ground. It was not flying or singing. It looked hurt and scared. Anna felt sorry for the bird. She wanted to help it. She picked it up gently and carried it to her house. She put it in a box with some water and seeds. She hoped it would get better soon. + +The next day, Anna checked on the bird. It was still in the box, but it looked more lively. It was drinking and eating. It was also making some noises. Anna was happy. She thought the bird was feeling better. She decided to take it outside and see if it could fly. + +She opened the box and lifted the bird out. She held it in her hands and said, "You are a brave bird. I hope you are well now. You can fly away and be free." She threw the bird in the air and watched it soar. The bird flew high and fast. It looked happy and free. It made a loud and beautiful song. Anna smiled and clapped. She felt proud and happy. She had rescued the bird. + +She heard a voice behind her. It was her mom. She had seen what Anna had done. She hugged her and said, "You are a very kind and independent girl. You did a good thing. You rescued the bird. I am proud of you." + +Anna hugged her mom back and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. The bird was very sweet. It had a nice taste. Not like food, but like love." + + + +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys. They have many toys of different shapes and colors. They like to sort them and put them in boxes with labels. Labels are words that tell what the toys are. + +"Look, Ben, I have a label that says 'cars'. I will put all the cars in this box," Anna says. + +"Good, Anna. I have a label that says 'animals'. I will put all the animals in this box," Ben says. + +They work hard and sort all their toys. But then they see a problem. There is one toy left that does not fit in any box. It is a pale yellow ball with a smiley face. + +"What is this, Anna? Is it a car or an animal?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know, Ben. It is not a car or an animal. It is a ball. But we don't have a label that says 'ball'," Anna says. + +They think hard and try to solve the problem. They look around and see a piece of paper and a crayon. They have an idea. + +"Let's make a new label, Ben. We can write 'ball' on the paper and stick it on a box. Then we can put the ball in the box," Anna says. + +"Good idea, Anna. You are smart. Let's do it," Ben says. + +They write 'ball' on the paper and stick it on a box. They put the ball in the box. They are happy. They have solved the problem. They have a label for every toy. They hug each other and smile. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. Today they play cook in the garden. They have a big pot and some fake food. They put the food in the pot and stir with a spoon. + +"Look, we cook soup!" Lily says. "It smells good!" + +"Yes, it does!" Tom says. "Can we eat it?" + +They pretend to eat the soup. They make yummy noises. They are happy. + +Then they hear a loud noise. It is a bus. The bus stops near the garden. The bus is yellow and blue. It has many windows. + +"Wow, a bus!" Tom says. "Let's go see!" + +They run to the bus. They see a man in the bus. He is the driver. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, kids!" he says. "Do you want to ride the bus?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom say. + +They climb on the bus. They find two seats. They look out the window. They see many things. They see houses, trees, cars, and people. + +"This is fun!" Lily says. "We go fast!" + +"Yes, it is!" Tom says. "We see a lot!" + +They enjoy the bus ride. They forget about the soup. They have a new adventure. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big sign with a picture of the earth. The sign says: "Take care of the earth. It is our home." + +"Look, Mia, the earth is round and blue and green. It has many animals and plants," Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom, the earth is beautiful. We should be nice to it. We should not make it dirty or hurt it," Mia says. + +They go closer to the sign. They see something funny. Someone has drawn a face on the earth. The face has a big smile and a wink. + +"Who did this?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone who loves the earth and wants to make it happy," Mia says. + +They laugh. They think the face is funny and cute. They want to make the earth happy too. They pick up some trash and put it in a bin. They water some flowers and say hello to a bird. They hug the sign and say: "We love you, earth. You are our friend." +Lily liked to sail her boat in the pond. She made the boat from a box and a stick and a cloth. She put her doll in the boat and pretended they were pirates. She said, "Ahoy, matey! Where is the treasure?" + +Tommy watched Lily from the bench. He wanted to play with her, but he was shy. He had a big pill in his pocket. His mom gave it to him every day. She said it would make him feel better. But Tommy did not like the pill. It was bitter and hard to swallow. + +One day, Tommy saw Lily's boat get stuck in the weeds. He ran to help her. He said, "Hi, I'm Tommy. Can I help you with your boat?" Lily smiled and said, "Yes, please. I'm Lily. Thank you for being nice." Tommy pulled the boat out of the weeds and gave it back to Lily. They became friends. + +They played with the boat every day. They shared stories and snacks and jokes. Tommy forgot about his pill. He felt happy with Lily. He did not feel different anymore. + +But one day, Lily did not come to the pond. Tommy waited and waited, but she did not show up. He felt sad and lonely. He wondered where she was. He took out his pill and looked at it. He thought, maybe I should take it. Maybe it will make me feel better. He put the pill in his mouth and swallowed it. + +He did not feel better. He felt worse. He felt sick and dizzy and sleepy. He fell on the ground and closed his eyes. He did not see Lily running to him. She had been at the doctor's. She had a bad cold. She had a pill too, but it was different. It was sweet and easy to swallow. She said, "Tommy, Tommy, wake up! I'm sorry I'm late. Are you okay?" But Tommy did not answer. He was too sick. Lily cried and called for help. She wished she had been there sooner. She wished Tommy had not taken his pill. She wished they could sail their boat again. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the garage with their dad. They had many toys and tools there. One day, they saw a big box in the corner. They wanted to know what was inside. + +"Can we open it, dad?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but it is very heavy. You need to be mighty to lift it," dad said. + +Ben and Mia tried to lift the box, but they could not. It was too heavy for them. They felt sad. + +"Don't worry, kids. I have an idea. Let's use this," dad said. He showed them a jack. A jack is a tool that can lift heavy things. + +Dad put the jack under the box and turned a handle. The jack made a noise and lifted the box up. Ben and Mia were amazed. + +"Wow, dad! You are so mighty!" Mia said. + +"Thank you, Mia. But you know what? You are mighty too. You are mighty in your own way. You are mighty smart, mighty kind, and mighty brave," dad said. + +Ben and Mia smiled. They felt happy. They hugged their dad and thanked him. Then they opened the box and found a surprise. It was a new bike for Ben and a new doll for Mia. They were so excited. They played with their new toys in the garage. They had a lot of fun. +Anna liked to twist her hair when she was bored. She twisted and twisted until her hair was curly and funny. She looked at her image in the mirror and laughed. She thought she looked like a sheep. + +One day, she twisted her hair too much. It got stuck and tangled. She tried to untwist it, but it hurt. She cried and called for her mom. Her mom came and saw her hair. She said, "Oh, Anna, what did you do?" + +Her mom got a comb and some oil. She gently combed and oiled Anna's hair. She untwisted and untangled it. It took a long time. Anna felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't twist my hair again." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "It's okay, Anna. I love you no matter what. But next time, don't twist your hair so much. It's not good for your hair." + +Anna nodded and said, "I love you too, mom. Thank you for fixing my hair." She looked at her image in the mirror again. Her hair was soft and shiny. She was happy. + +She decided to play with her toys instead of twisting her hair. She found a ball that was deep blue. She liked the color. She threw the ball and caught it. She had fun. She forgot about her hair. She was glad. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to ride bikes in the park. Tom has a new bike. It is red and shiny. Sam has an old bike. It is blue and rusty. + +"Look at my new bike!" Tom says. "It is fast and cool. Do you want to try it?" + +Sam nods. He wants to try Tom's new bike. He puts on Tom's helmet. It is big and yellow. It has a light on the front. The light can blink. + +"Be careful!" Tom says. "My bike is not easy to ride. You have to balance and steer." + +Sam gets on the bike. He pedals hard. He feels the wind in his hair. He smiles. He likes Tom's new bike. + +But Sam is clumsy. He does not see the rock on the path. He hits the rock with his wheel. He loses his balance. He falls off the bike. + +"Ouch!" Sam cries. He scrapes his knee. He drops the helmet. The light stops blinking. + +Tom runs to Sam. He helps him up. He checks the bike. It is not broken. + +"Are you okay?" Tom asks. He is worried. + +Sam nods. He is okay. He is sorry. He gives Tom his helmet. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Sam says. "I was clumsy. I broke your helmet." + +Tom hugs Sam. He is not angry. + +"It's okay, Sam," Tom says. "You are my friend. The helmet is not important. The light can be fixed. Do you want to ride my bike again?" + +Sam shakes his head. He does not want to ride Tom's bike again. He likes his old bike. It is blue and rusty. + +"Can we ride your bike?" Sam asks. "It is easy and fun." + +Tom nods. He agrees. He likes Sam's old bike. It is blue and rusty. + +They swap bikes. They put on their helmets. They ride together in the park. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they find a big blue box. It has a button on it. Lily pushes the button. Music comes out of the box. It is a happy song. + +"Wow, music!" Max says. "Let's dance!" + +Lily and Max start to dance. They jump and clap and wiggle. They have fun. Then, Lily has an idea. + +"Let's spin!" she says. "Spinning is fun!" + +She holds Max's hand. They spin around and around. They spin fast and slow. They spin like tops. They laugh and giggle. + +But then, they spin too much. They feel dizzy. They fall down on the grass. They look at the sky. The sky is blue, like the box. + +"Are you okay?" Lily asks Max. + +"I'm okay," Max says. "But I'm tired. Let's rest." + +They lie on the grass. They listen to the music. They close their eyes. They smile. They are happy. They are friends. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They have a big rug with roads and buildings on it. They make sounds like vroom and beep as they drive their cars around. Sometimes they have races or pretend to go to the shop or the park. + +One day, Anna and Ben have a problem. They both want to play with the same car. It is a red car with a shiny sticker on it. They think it is the coolest car ever. They both reach for it at the same time and pull on it. + +"Let go, it's mine!" Anna says. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben says. + +They tug and tug until the car breaks in half. They both gasp and drop the pieces. They feel sad and angry. + +"Look what you did!" Anna says. + +"You did it!" Ben says. + +They start to cry and yell at each other. Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken car and the upset children. + +"What happened here?" she asks. + +They both point at each other and say, "He/she did it!" + +Mom sighs and picks up the pieces of the car. She looks at them and says, "I think I can fix this. But first, you two need to calm down and say sorry to each other. How about you do some exercise to get rid of your bad feelings?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They don't like to fight. Mom shows them how to do some jumping jacks, some squats, and some stretches. They follow her and start to feel better. They breathe deeply and smile. + +"Are you ready to say sorry now?" Mom asks. + +Anna and Ben look at each other and say, "Sorry." + +They hug and say, "I love you." + +Mom smiles and says, "I love you too. And I have good news. I fixed your car. See, it can still drive and reverse. And the sticker is still cool. But you have to share it and be gentle with it, okay?" + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "Okay." + +They take the car and thank Mom. They go back to their rug and play nicely. They take turns driving and reversing the car. They make sounds like vroom and beep. They are happy again. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big horse. The horse is brown and has a long tail. The horse is eating grass. + +"Look, a horse!" Tom says. "Can we touch it?" + +"I don't know," Sam says. "Maybe it will bite us." + +They go closer to the horse. They want to pet it. The horse looks at them. It makes a loud noise. "Neigh!" + +Tom and Sam are scared. They run away. The horse chases them. It is fast and high. + +"Help!" Tom and Sam shout. "The horse is angry!" + +A man comes. He is the horse's owner. He stops the horse. He talks to Tom and Sam. + +"Why did you disturb my horse?" he asks. "He doesn't like strangers." + +"We are sorry," Tom and Sam say. "We just wanted to say hello." + +The man is not mad. He smiles. He lets Tom and Sam touch the horse. He tells them the horse's name is Max. + +"Max is a good horse," he says. "But you have to be careful. He is shy and strong. You have to ask before you pet him." + +Tom and Sam nod. They say thank you to the man and Max. They learn a new word: disturb. They promise not to disturb Max again. They go back to play in the park. They are happy. +Lily did not like the dark. She was scared of the shadows on the ceiling. She wanted to sleep with her mom and dad, but they said no. They said she was a big girl and she had to sleep in her own bed. They gave her a hug and a kiss and a teddy bear. They said the teddy bear would keep her safe and happy. + +Lily tried to accept what they said, but she still felt sad and lonely. She hugged her teddy bear and closed her eyes. She hoped the dark would go away soon. She heard a noise outside her window. She opened her eyes and saw a bright light. It was the moon. The moon was big and round and shiny. It made the shadows on the ceiling look like funny shapes. Lily smiled. She liked the moon. She felt less scared. + +She decided to play a game with her teddy bear. She pointed at the ceiling and asked her teddy bear what he saw. She said, "I see a cat. Do you see a cat?" She waited for her teddy bear to answer. She pretended he said yes. She said, "I see a star. Do you see a star?" She waited for her teddy bear to answer. She pretended he said yes. She said, "I see a heart. Do you see a heart?" She waited for her teddy bear to answer. She pretended he said yes. She said, "I love you, teddy bear. Do you love me?" She waited for her teddy bear to answer. She pretended he said yes. She gave him a big hug and a kiss. She felt happy and warm. + +She looked at the moon again. She said, "Thank you, moon, for making the dark less scary. You are my friend. Good night, moon." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of cats and stars and hearts. She did not have any bad dreams. She did not wake up until the sun came up. She woke up with a smile. She was proud of herself. She had slept in her own bed all night. She had accepted the dark. She had made a new friend. She had had fun. She was a big girl. She was brave. She was happy. +Lily was restless. She did not want to nap. She wanted to play. She saw a hammer on the floor. It was big and shiny. She picked it up and smiled. + +She walked around the house. She saw a vase with flowers. She did not like the vase. She lifted the hammer and smashed the vase. It broke into pieces. She heard a loud noise. She liked the noise. + +She saw a picture on the wall. It was of a dog. She did not like the dog. She lifted the hammer and hit the picture. It fell off the wall. She heard another loud noise.

They wanted to go back home. They started to cry. + +The bus driver was kind and called their mom. He told her where they were and waited with them. Mom came quickly and hugged them. She was angry and worried, but also relieved. + +"You two are very clumsy. You could have been hurt or lost. You can't travel without me. You have to stay home and be safe," mom said. + +Lily and Ben said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They still liked to travel, but they knew they had to wait and listen to mom.

Tim smiled and said, "You're welcome, ant! I'm happy to help." And from that day on, Tim and the ant were the best of friends. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a hose that made water come out. They liked to spray the water on the flowers and the grass. Sometimes they sprayed each other and laughed. + +One day, they saw a bird on the fence. The bird was brown and had a red spot on its head. It was singing a pretty song. Ben and Lily wanted to talk to the bird. They said hello and asked its name. + +But the bird did not answer. It just kept singing. Ben and Lily thought the bird was deaf. They felt sad for the bird. They wanted to help it hear. + +They had an idea. They took the hose and sprayed water on the bird. They thought the water would make the bird's ears clean and clear. They said, "Can you hear us now, bird?" + +But the bird did not like the water. It got wet and angry. It stopped singing and flew away. Ben and Lily were surprised and sorry. They did not mean to scare the bird. + +They learned a lesson. They learned that not all animals like water. They learned that some animals have different ways of hearing. They learned to be kind and gentle to the bird. They hoped the bird would come back and sing again. They wanted to encourage the bird to be their friend. +Lila and Ben are twins who love to play with their toy trains. They have a long track that goes around their room and many different trains to choose from. They like to polish their trains every day to make them shiny and smooth. + +One day, Lila and Ben have a big fight. Lila wants to use the red train, but Ben says it is his and he won't share. Lila says she polished it yesterday, so it is hers today. Ben says he polished it this morning, so it is his all day. They pull and tug on the red train, but neither of them will let go. + +They are so busy fighting that they don't notice their little brother, Sam, who is crawling into their room. Sam sees the long track and the shiny trains and thinks they are fun to play with. He grabs the blue train and puts it in his mouth. He chews and bites on it, making it dirty and broken. + +Lila and Ben hear Sam's noise and look at him. They are shocked and angry to see what he has done to their blue train. They run to him and try to take it away, but Sam cries and holds on. Lila and Ben forget about their fight and work together to calm Sam down. They explain to him that the trains are not for eating, but for rolling on the track. They show him how to play with them gently and safely. + +Lila and Ben learn their lesson. They realize that fighting over the red train was silly and selfish. They decide to share their trains and their track with each other and with Sam. They also remember to polish their trains every day, but not too much, so they don't get too attached to them. They are happy and grateful for their toys and their family. + +The moral value of the story is: Sharing is caring, and fighting is not nice. +Lila and Tom are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Mom, dad, can we go on the slide?" they ask. + +"Sure, but be careful and wait your turn," mom and dad say. + +Lila and Tom run to the slide. They see a line of kids waiting to go on the slide. They do not want to wait. They want to go now. + +They push and shove the other kids. They make them cry and fall. They reach the slide and climb up fast. + +"Stop, that is not nice!" mom and dad shout. + +But Lila and Tom do not listen. They slide down together. They think they are having fun. + +But when they reach the bottom, they see something scary. There is a big hole in the slide. It is the exit. But it is not a good exit. It is an empty exit. There is nothing under the hole. Only air. + +Lila and Tom scream. They are afraid. They hold each other tight. They wish they had been nice. + +Mom and dad run to the slide. They see the hole. They are scared too. They call for help. + +Soon, a fireman comes. He has a ladder and a rope. He climbs up the slide. He reaches the hole. He sees Lila and Tom. They are still screaming. + +"Don't worry, I will save you," he says. + +He ties the rope around them. He lowers them down. He gives them to mom and dad. + +Lila and Tom are safe. But they are not happy. They are sorry. They hug mom and dad. They say sorry to the other kids. They say thank you to the fireman. + +They learn a lesson. They learn to be nice and wait their turn. They learn to be careful and look before they slide. They learn that a bad exit can lead to an empty fall. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to sort the leaves by color and shape. They made piles of red, yellow, green and brown leaves. They had fun throwing the leaves in the air and catching them. + +"Look, Tim, I found a big stick!" Lily said, holding a long, thin branch. "Let's use it to make a fence for our leaves." + +"OK, Lily, that's a good idea," Tim said. He took the stick from Lily and started to poke it into the ground. He made a line of holes around their piles of leaves. + +But the stick was not a stick. It was a bone. A bone from a skeleton. A skeleton that was buried under the leaves. A skeleton that was angry and hungry. + +The skeleton felt the bone moving. It woke up from its long sleep. It pulled the bone out of the ground. It saw Tim and Lily. It smiled with its big, white teeth. + +"Hello, little ones," the skeleton said in a low, calm voice. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Tim and Lily were scared. They screamed and ran away. But the skeleton was faster. It grabbed them with its bony hands. It dragged them under the leaves. It ate them up. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big colorful tent in the park. They want to go inside. + +"Look, Ben, a tent! Let's go and see!" Lily says. + +"OK, Lily, but be careful. Maybe there are big people inside," Ben says. + +They hop to the tent. They open the flap. They see a lot of cups and pots and spoons. They smell something nice. + +"Wow, what is this?" Lily asks. + +"I think it is coffee. My mom drinks coffee in the morning. She says it makes her happy," Ben says. + +"Can we try some?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is too hot. Maybe it is not for kids," Ben says. + +They hear a voice. It is a lady. She is smiling. She has a colorful dress and a colorful hat. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you like my coffee shop? I sell coffee and tea and cookies and cakes. Do you want some?" she says. + +Lily and Ben are shy. They do not know the lady. + +"Who are you?" Lily asks. + +"I am Anna. I travel with my tent and my coffee. I like to meet new people and share my coffee. Do you want to be my friends?" Anna says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They like Anna. She is nice and colorful. + +"OK, then. Come and sit with me. I will give you some milk and cookies. And maybe a little bit of coffee, if you want. But not too much. Coffee is for grown-ups, mostly," Anna says. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They sit with Anna. They drink milk and eat cookies. They taste a little bit of coffee. It is bitter and warm. They make faces. + +Anna laughs. She tells them stories about her travels and her coffee. They listen and ask questions. They have fun. + +They hop to the tent. They open the flap. They see a lot of cups and pots and spoons. They smell something nice. + +The end. +Tim and Lily liked to play in the garage. They found many things there, like old toys, tools and boxes. Sometimes they pretended they were pirates or astronauts or detectives. One day, they saw a big black bag in the corner. It looked mysterious. + +"What is in there?" Tim asked. + +"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Lily said. + +They walked to the bag and pulled the zipper. Inside, they saw something shiny and round. It had wires and buttons and a screen. It looked like a bomb. + +"Wow, what is this?" Lily said. + +"I think it's a toy. Maybe it makes noises or lights," Tim said. + +He reached for the buttons and pressed one. The screen flashed red and a loud beep sounded. A voice said, "Warning, warning, bomb activated. Ten seconds to explosion." + +Tim and Lily were scared. They did not know what to do. They ran to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked. They banged on the door and shouted for help, but no one heard them. + +They looked at each other and cried. They hugged and said, "I love you." + +They saw a window and waved to the outside, hoping someone would see them and save them. But no one did. + +The bomb counted down. Five, four, three, two, one. + +Boom. +Tom and Sue like to play with their toy boat. They take it to the pond and sail it on the water. They have fun watching it go fast and slow, left and right. + +One day, they see a big fat duck on the pond. The duck is hungry and looks at their boat. It thinks it is food. It swims towards it and opens its mouth. + +"Look out, Tom!" Sue shouts. "The duck wants our boat!" + +Tom tries to pull the boat back, but it is too late. The duck bites the boat and breaks it. It makes a loud quack and swims away. + +Tom and Sue are sad. They cry and hug each other. They have no boat to play with anymore. + +They go home and tell their mom what happened. She is sorry for them, but she is also angry. She says they should not have taken the boat to the pond. She says it was her laundry basket and she needs it to wash their clothes. + +Tom and Sue feel bad. They say they are sorry and they will not do it again. They help their mom with the laundry, but they still miss their boat. They wish they had a real boat that the duck could not eat. +Lily and Tom like to go to the park with Mom. They see many things in the park. They see trees and flowers and birds and dogs. They like to play on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. + +One day, they see something new in the park. It is a big white horse. The horse is very pretty and graceful. It has long hair and a shiny coat. It walks and runs and jumps in the park. Lily and Tom want to touch the horse and say hello. + +Mom says they can go near the horse, but they have to be careful and gentle. The horse has a name. It is Snowy. Snowy is a friendly horse. He likes to eat carrots and apples and sugar cubes. Lily and Tom give him some treats. They pet his nose and his mane and his back. They feel his soft fur and his warm breath. + +Snowy likes Lily and Tom. He lets them sit on his back and hold his reins. He takes them for a ride in the park. They go fast and slow and around and around. They feel the wind and the sun and the joy. They laugh and smile and hug Snowy. + +Lily and Tom love Snowy. They say thank you and goodbye to him.

"Baa, baa, baa!" it said. + +Tom and Anna were scared of the baby sheep. They ran away and hid behind a big tree. They did not want to play with the baby sheep. They wanted to play with the other sheep. The other sheep were quiet and gentle. + +But the baby sheep did not give up. It followed Tom and Anna to the tree.

They did not like the baby sheep. It was noisy and rude. They wished it would go away. But then they saw something. They saw the baby sheep's eyes. They were big and brown and sad.

Do you want to play with us?" The baby sheep nodded and smiled. It said, "Baa, baa, baa!" It was happy. + +Tom and Anna and the baby sheep played together on the farm. They had fun and became friends. The baby sheep was not noisy and rude anymore. It was nice and sweet. Tom and Anna liked the baby sheep. And the baby sheep liked Tom and Anna. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see many flowers and bugs. They also see a big rabbit. The rabbit is brown and soft. It hops around the garden and eats vegetables. + +"Hello, rabbit!" Lily says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The rabbit looks at Lily and Ben. It wiggles its nose and ears. It does not say anything. It is shy. + +"Please, rabbit, do not be shy," Ben says. "We are nice. We will not hurt you." + +The rabbit thinks for a moment. It likes Lily and Ben.

They have many tops of different colors and shapes. They spin their tops on the floor and watch them go round and round. + +One day, Tom finds a new top in his toy box. It is big and shiny and has a star on it. He thinks it is the best top ever. He shows it to Jen and says, "Look at my new top! It is faster and prettier than yours. I bet it can spin longer than any other top." + +Jen feels sad and angry. She likes her tops too. She thinks they are fun and beautiful. She says, "No, your top is not the best. My tops are better. They have more colors and patterns. They can spin just as long as yours. Let's have a contest and see who has the best top." + +Tom agrees. He is competitive and wants to prove that his top is the best. He and Jen go to the backyard and find a flat spot to spin their tops. They count to three and let their tops go. They watch them closely and cheer for their own tops. + +But something goes wrong. Tom's new top is not as good as he thought. It wobbles and slows down quickly. It falls to the ground and stops spinning. Jen's tops keep spinning and spinning. They are steady and smooth. Jen wins the contest. + +Tom feels sad and angry. He looks at his new top and sees that it is not shiny anymore. It has scratches and dents on it. It looks old and rotten. He says, "This top is no good. It is broken and ugly. I don't want it anymore." He throws it away and runs to his house. + +Jen feels sorry for Tom. She knows he liked his new top. She thinks it is not nice to throw away a toy. She picks up Tom's top and looks at it. She sees that it still has a star on it. She thinks it is still special. She says, "This top is not rotten. It is just different. It has a story to tell. Maybe we can fix it and play with it again." She puts it in her pocket and goes to find Tom. She wants to be his friend and share her tops with him. +Ben and Lily were on a big boat with their mom and dad. They were going to a new place called a port.

He wants to see where the rocket goes. He thinks it will take him to the moon and the stars. He runs faster and faster. + +Lily tries to catch up with Tom. But she is weak. She cannot run as fast as Tom. She gets tired and out of breath. She falls down and hurts her knee. + +"Tom, help me!" Lily screams. "I am hurt and scared. I want to go back to the park." + +But Tom does not hear her. He is too far away. He follows the rocket until it disappears in the sky. He does not know where he is. He is alone and lost.

They pretended they were making ponds for frogs and fish. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big hole!" Max said, showing his sister his work. + +"That's nice, Max, but don't make it too close to the fence. Mom said we have to behave and not make a mess," Lily said, digging her own hole. + +Max did not listen. He wanted to make his hole bigger and deeper. He dug and dug until he hit something hard. He tried to pull it out, but it was stuck. + +"What is that, Max?" Lily asked, coming over to see. + +"I don't know, Lily. It looks like a metal box. Maybe it has treasure inside!"

She thought it was a good spot to hide. + +She opened one door and went inside the cabinet. She closed the door behind her. She was very quiet and still. She hoped Ben would not find her.

Please take me back." + +The fisherman sighed. He felt sorry for Tommy. He said, "You should not have come on my boat without asking. You could have fallen in the water or hurt yourself. You should listen to your mom. She knows what is best for you. Come, I will take you back. But you have to promise me to never do this again." + +Tommy nodded. He said, "I promise, mister. I'm sorry. Thank you for taking me back." + +The fisherman turned the boat around. He sailed back to the shore. He gave Tommy to his mom. She hugged him and scolded him. She said, "Tommy, you scared me so much. You should never run away from me. You should always stay with me. You could have been lost or in danger. You should be more careful and obedient." + +Tommy said, "I'm sorry, mom. I learned my lesson. I will never run away from you again. I love you, mom." + +The fisherman smiled and said, "You are a good boy, Tommy. I hope you will remember this day and never forget.

He went to his kitchen and got a potato. He carved a face on it and made it look like a doll. He put a ribbon on it and gave it a name. He called it Patty. + +He knocked on Sara's door again and said, "Look, I have a potato doll too. Her name is Patty. Can she play with your dolls?" + +Sara peeked from behind her bed and saw the potato doll. She was curious and surprised. She had never seen a potato doll before. She said, "A potato doll? How did you make it?" + +Tom smiled and said, "I used a knife and a ribbon. It was easy. Do you like it?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, it's nice. But be careful with the knife. It can hurt you." + +Tom said, "Don't worry, I was careful. Can I come in and play with you?" + +Sara thought for a moment. She was still shy, but she was also lonely. She liked potatoes and dolls. Maybe Tom was not so bad after all. Maybe he could be her friend. She said, "Okay, you can come in. But don't be too loud. You disturb me." + +Tom said, "Okay, I'll be quiet. Thank you for letting me play with you." + +Sara and Tom played with their potato dolls and their other dolls. They had fun and they talked a little. They learned more about each other and they became friends. They did not disturb each other anymore. They liked each other. +Tom was a squirrel who liked to load acorns in his nest. He would find acorns on the ground or on the trees and carry them in his mouth. He wanted to have many acorns for the cold time, when there was no food. + +One day, he saw a big acorn on a branch. He climbed up the tree and reached for it. But he did not see the owl who was hiding behind the leaves. The owl was hungry and wanted to eat Tom. + +The owl swooped down and grabbed Tom with his claws. Tom was fearful and tried to get away. He bit the owl's foot and dropped the acorn. The owl let go of Tom and flew away. + +Tom fell to the ground and landed on the acorn. He was hurt and scared, but he was happy to be alive. He picked up the acorn and ran to his nest. He decided to load acorns only from the safe places, where there were no owls. He learned to be careful and smart. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign. The sign says: "Free salad for everyone!" Tom and Sue are hungry. They decide to try the salad. + +They go to the table. There are many bowls of salad. They look green and red and yellow. Tom and Sue take a bowl each. They sit on a bench. They use their forks to eat the salad. + +But the salad is terrible. It is bitter and sour and hard. Tom and Sue make faces. They do not like the salad at all. + +"Yuck!" Tom says. "This salad is bad. I want a cookie." + +"Me too!" Sue says. "This salad is worse than soap. I want a banana." + +They put down their bowls. They run away from the table. They look for something else to eat. They see a man with a cart. The cart has cookies and bananas and juice. Tom and Sue are happy. They go to the man. They ask for a cookie and a banana and a juice each. The man smiles. He gives them what they want. + +Tom and Sue eat their cookie and banana and drink their juice. They are not hungry anymore. They are glad they left the salad. They think the salad is for rabbits, not for children. They go back to the park. They play with their ball. They have fun. They forget about the terrible salad. +Anna and Ben love to travel with their mom and dad. They go to many places in their big car. Sometimes they see mountains, sometimes they see water, sometimes they see animals. They always have fun and learn new things. + +One day, they travel to a farm. They see cows, pigs, chickens, and horses. They feed them and pet them. They also see a big red barn. Mom says they can go inside and look around. Anna and Ben are very happy. + +Inside the barn, they find a lot of hay. It is soft and yellow. They make a big pile and jump on it. They laugh and play. They also find a napkin on a table. It has a picture of a tractor on it. Ben likes tractors. He takes the napkin and puts it in his pocket. + +After a while, they feel sleepy. They lie down on the hay and close their eyes. Mom and dad come and find them. They smile and cover them with a blanket. They say they are proud of them for being good travelers. They kiss them and say good night. + +Anna and Ben dream of the farm and the animals. They are happy and cozy. They sleep until the morning. Then they wake up and get ready for another day of travel. They wonder what they will see next. They can't wait to find out. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw their shadows on the grass. They made funny shapes with their bodies and their shadows copied them. + +"Look, I'm a bird!" Lily said, flapping her arms. + +"And I'm a rabbit!" Tom said, hopping around. + +They heard their mom call them from the house. "Lily, Tom, it's time to come in and prepare for dinner!" + +They ran to the house. Mom was in the kitchen. She was cutting some carrots and potatoes. She smiled at them. + +"Can we help you, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, you can. You are very important to me. You can wash your hands and set the table. Tom, you can take the plates and forks. Lily, you can take the cups and napkins." + +They did as mom said. They washed their hands and set the table. They felt happy and proud. They liked to help mom and prepare for dinner. They knew they were a good team. They hugged mom and thanked her. + +"You're welcome, my loves. You are very good helpers. Now, let's enjoy our dinner together." Mom said. + +They sat down and ate their dinner. They talked about their day and their shadows. They smiled and laughed. They felt warm and cozy. They loved their mom and each other. They were a happy family. +Tom was a curious boy who liked to dress up in different clothes. He had a big box of hats, coats, shoes and other things that he found in his house. One day, he decided to dress up as a pirate. He put on a big hat with a feather, a long coat with buttons, and a belt with a shiny buckle. He also took a fork from the kitchen and pretended it was a sword. + +He went to the living room and saw his sister, Anna, playing with her dolls. He said, "Arrr, matey, I am a pirate and this is my sword. Give me your treasure or I will make you walk the plank!" + +Anna looked at him and laughed. She said, "You are not a pirate, you are Tom. And that is not a sword, that is a fork. You can't hurt me with a fork. Go away and play with your own toys." + +Tom felt angry and sad. He said, "I am a pirate and this is a sword. I will show you how sharp it is." He ran towards Anna and tried to poke her with the fork. + +But Anna was quick and smart. She grabbed a pillow from the couch and threw it at Tom. The pillow hit him in the face and made him fall down. The fork flew out of his hand and landed on the floor. + +Anna said, "See, you are not a pirate, you are silly. And you should not play with forks, they are for eating, not for fighting. You could hurt yourself or someone else. Now go and put the fork back in the kitchen and change your clothes. And say sorry to me." + +Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I am sorry, Anna. You are right, I was silly and I should not play with forks. I will put it back and change my clothes. Can we still be friends?" + +Anna smiled and said, "Of course we can. But next time, if you want to play pirates, use something else as a sword. Like a stick or a ruler. And ask me first, maybe I will join you." + +Tom nodded and said, "OK, thank you, Anna. You are a good sister. And you are brave and clever. Maybe you can be the captain and I can be your mate." + +Anna said, "That sounds fun. But first, let's have a snack. I am hungry. Do you want some cookies and milk?" + +Tom said, "Yes, please. That sounds yummy. Let's go to the kitchen and get some. But don't forget the forks. We need them to eat, not to fight." + +They both laughed and went to the kitchen. They were happy and they loved each other. They learned a lesson and they had fun. They were curious and they liked to dress up. But they also knew how to be careful and kind. They were good children. The end. +Lila and Sam are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make towers and houses and cars with blocks. They have many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green. + +One day, Lila and Sam find a big box. The box has a picture of a plane on it. They open the box and see many pieces of a plane. They are very glad. They want to make the plane with the pieces. + +They look at the picture and try to put the pieces together. They use some blocks to help them. They make the wings, the tail, the nose, the propeller. They work hard and have fun. + +When they finish, they have a big plane. They are very proud. They want to fly the plane. They take the plane outside and look for a good place to fly it. + +"Let's go to the hill," Lila says. "We can run and throw the plane in the air." + +"OK," Sam says. "That sounds fun." + +They go to the hill and hold the plane. They run and throw the plane in the air. The plane flies high and fast. They watch the plane and clap their hands. They are very happy. + +"Wow, look at our plane!" Lila says. "It flies so well!" + +"Yes, it does!" Sam says. "We are good at making planes!" + +They run and catch the plane and throw it again. They play with the plane until it is time to go home. They hug the plane and each other. They are very glad. They love to play with blocks and planes. +Tommy was sick. He had a bad cough and a sore throat. He did not want to play or eat or watch TV. He only wanted to lie in his bed and feel sorry for himself. + +Mommy came to his room with a spoon and a bottle. She said, "Tommy, you need to take your medicine. It will make you feel better and stop your cough." Tommy did not like medicine. It tasted yucky and made him gag. He shook his head and hid under his blanket. + +Mommy was not happy. She said, "Tommy, don't be silly. You have to take your medicine or you will stay sick. Do you want to miss your friend's birthday party tomorrow?" Tommy loved parties. He wanted to go and have cake and play games. But he still did not want to take his medicine. + +Mommy said, "Tommy, I will count to three. If you don't take your medicine, I will tickle you until you do." Tommy knew Mommy was serious. He hated being tickled. He peeked out from his blanket and saw Mommy holding the spoon and the bottle. She started to count. "One...two..." + +Tommy did not want to wait for three. He knew he had no choice. He decided to surrender. He opened his mouth and let Mommy give him the medicine. He made a face and swallowed it. It was still yucky, but he was brave. He hoped it would make him feel normal again. + +Mommy smiled and hugged him. She said, "Good boy, Tommy. I'm proud of you. You did the right thing. Now you can rest and get well soon. Maybe tomorrow you can go to the party and have fun." Tommy nodded and snuggled with his teddy bear. He felt a little better already. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big beetle with shiny wings. It was black and green and made a loud noise. + +"Look, a beetle!" Tom said. He wanted to catch it and put it in a jar. + +"No, don't!" Lily said. She was scared of the beetle. She thought it would bite her. "It is not nice to catch bugs. They want to be free." + +Tom did not listen. He ran after the beetle. He tried to grab it with his hand. But the beetle was fast and smart. It flew away from Tom and landed on a hose. The hose was wet and slippery. + +Tom followed the beetle. He reached for the hose. But he slipped and fell. He hit his head on the ground. He started to cry. + +Lily ran to Tom. She saw blood on his forehead. She was sorry for Tom. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" + +Tom stopped crying. He felt a bump on his head. He said, "I'm okay, Lily. But the beetle got away. It snapped at me and flew away. It was mean." + +Lily said, "No, Tom. The beetle was not mean. It was scared. You scared it when you tried to catch it. It only snapped to protect itself. You should be nice to bugs. They are living things too." + +Tom thought about what Lily said. He said, "You are right, Lily. I was not nice to the beetle. I'm sorry, beetle. I hope you are okay too." + +Lily smiled. She said, "That's good, Tom. Come on, let's go inside. Mom will help you with your head. Maybe she will give us a cookie too." + +Tom and Lily went inside. They left the beetle alone. The beetle was happy. It flew away to find another flower. It did not snap anymore. +Lily was a wealthy girl who had many toys and clothes. She loved to play with her dolls and dress them up. But she was not happy. She wanted a real friend to talk to and hug. + +One day, her father brought her a big surprise. It was a penguin! He said he bought it from a zoo that was closing down. Lily was very excited. She named the penguin Poppy and gave it a pink bow. She said, "You are my best friend, Poppy. I love you very much." + +But Poppy was not happy. He missed his home and his family. He did not like the warm weather and the small pool. He did not like the pink bow and the dolls. He said, "I want to go back to the ice and the snow. I want to see my friends and my parents. I do not love you, Lily. You are not my friend." + +Lily was very sad. She did not understand why Poppy did not love her. She tried to make him happy. She gave him fish and ice and toys. She sang to him and read to him. But Poppy was still unhappy. He said, "Please let me go, Lily. I do not belong here. You are not my family." + +Lily cried. She loved Poppy, but she did not want him to be unhappy. She said, "I love you, Poppy, but I want you to be happy too. I will let you go, but you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will always remember me and that you will be my friend in your heart." + +Poppy nodded. He said, "I promise, Lily. I will always remember you and I will be your friend in my heart. Thank you for letting me go. I love you, Lily, but in a different way." + +Lily hugged Poppy and kissed him goodbye. She watched him as he left with her father. She was sad, but she was also proud. She had learned a big lesson. She had learned that love means letting go sometimes. She had learned that love means different things to different people. She had learned that love means being kind. +Tommy loved to look at small things with his microscope. He got it for his birthday from his kind grandma. She said it was a special tool to see things that were too tiny for his eyes. Tommy liked to look at bugs, leaves, and even his own hair with his microscope. + +One day, he found a shiny rock in the park. He wondered what it looked like under his microscope. He ran home and put the rock on his table. He turned on his microscope and looked through the lens. He saw something amazing. The rock had many colors and shapes inside. It looked like a rainbow. + +"Wow!" Tommy said. "This is the best rock ever!" + +He wanted to show his grandma his discovery. He called her on the phone and told her about his rock. He asked her if she could come and see it. + +"Of course, my dear," grandma said. "I'm very curious about your rock. I'll be there soon." + +Tommy waited for his grandma. He looked at his rock again and again. He noticed something else. There was a small hole in the rock. He wondered what was inside. He moved his microscope closer to the hole. He saw something move. + +"Hello?" Tommy said. "Is anyone there?" + +He heard a tiny voice. It sounded like a squeak. + +"Hello, Tommy," the voice said. "I'm a fairy. I live in your rock." + +Tommy gasped. He couldn't believe his ears. He saw a tiny face in the hole. It had wings and a smile. + +"Are you real?" Tommy asked. + +"Yes, I am," the fairy said. "And you are very lucky. You found a magic rock. It can grant you one wish." + +Tommy was amazed. He thought about what he wanted to wish for. He had so many ideas. He wanted more toys, more candy, more books. But then he thought about his grandma. She was always so kind to him. She gave him his microscope. She always listened to his stories. She always made him happy. + +"I know what I want to wish for," Tommy said. "I want to make my grandma happy too. I want to give her something special. Something she would love." + +The fairy smiled. She liked Tommy's wish. She said it was a very good wish. She said she could help him. + +"What do you recommend?" Tommy asked. + +The fairy winked. She said she had a perfect idea. She told Tommy to wait and see. She said he would be surprised. + +Tommy waited. He heard a knock on the door. He ran to open it. He saw his grandma. She had a big smile on her face. She hugged him and kissed him. + +"Hello, my dear," she said. "I'm so happy to see you. And I have a surprise for you too." + +She showed him a box. She said it was a gift for him. She said it was something he would love. + +Tommy opened the box. He couldn't believe his eyes. It was a microscope. But not just any microscope. It was a fairy microscope. It was small and shiny and had wings. It could fly and talk and show him the most wonderful things. + +"Wow!" Tommy said. "This is the best microscope ever!" + +He looked at his grandma. He saw a sparkle in her eye. He realized she knew about the fairy. He realized she knew about his wish. He realized she was happy. + +"Thank you, grandma," he said. "Thank you, fairy. You are both very kind. You made my wish come true." + +He hugged his grandma and his fairy microscope. He felt very happy too. He knew he had the best rock, the best microscope, and the best grandma in the world. +Lily liked to run. She ran in the park, she ran in the yard, she ran in the hall. She ran so fast that no one could catch her. She was the fastest girl in her classroom. + +But Lily did not like to read. She thought reading was hard and boring. She did not know many words. She did not like to look at books. She did not want to learn new words. + +One day, her teacher gave her a book. It was a book about a girl who liked to run. The girl ran in races and won medals. The girl also liked to read. She read books about running and other things. She learned new words and improved her reading. + +"Read this book, Lily," her teacher said. "It is a good book for you. You can learn from the girl in the book. She is fast and smart. You can be fast and smart too." + +Lily did not want to read the book. She wanted to run. But she took the book home. She looked at the pictures. She saw the girl running and smiling. She saw the medals and the books. She was curious. + +She tried to read the words. She did not know some words. She asked her mom to help her. Her mom read the words with her. She explained the words to her. She praised her for trying. + +Lily started to like the book. She liked the story. She liked the girl. She wanted to be like her. She read the book every day. She learned new words. She improved her reading. + +The next week, her teacher gave her a test. It was a test about reading. Lily was nervous. She did not like tests. But she remembered the book. She remembered the words. She tried her best. + +She did well on the test. She answered the questions. She read the sentences. She spelled the words. She was fast and smart. She was proud. + +Her teacher was happy. She gave her a sticker. She gave her a hug. She gave her another book. + +"Good job, Lily," her teacher said. "You improved your reading. You are a good reader. You can read many books. You can learn many things. You can run and read. You can do anything." + +Lily smiled. She thanked her teacher. She took the book. She ran to her mom. She showed her the sticker, the hug, and the book. + +"Look, mom," she said. "I improved my reading. I am a good reader. I can read many books. I can learn many things. I can run and read. I can do anything." + +Her mom hugged her. She kissed her. She praised her. + +"I am so proud of you, Lily," she said. "You are fast and smart. You are a good reader. You can read many books. You can learn many things. You can run and read. You can do anything." +Anna and Ben were in their classroom. They liked to play with blocks and dolls and books. They had a nice teacher who helped them learn new things. Today, the teacher had a surprise for them. + +"Children, we have a special visitor today. He is going to deliver something for us. Can you guess what it is?" the teacher asked. + +"Is it a cake?" Anna said. + +"Is it a toy?" Ben said. + +"No, it is not a cake or a toy. It is something very mysterious. You will see soon. Let's all sit down and wait quietly," the teacher said. + +The children sat down and waited. They heard a knock on the door. The teacher opened it and smiled. A man came in with a big box. He wore a blue uniform and a hat. He looked friendly. + +"Hello, I am the mailman. I have a package for your classroom. It is from a faraway place. Do you want to see what is inside?" the mailman said. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" the children said. + +The mailman put the box on a table and opened it. He took out a big book with colorful pictures. He also took out a small globe with a stand. He showed them to the children. + +"This is a book about the world. It has stories and facts about different countries and people and animals. And this is a globe. It is a model of the earth. You can spin it and see where different places are. These are gifts from a school in another country. They want to be your friends and learn from you. They also sent you a letter. Do you want to hear it?" the mailman said. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" the children said. + +The mailman read the letter. It said hello and introduced the other school and the other children. It said they liked to play and learn too. It said they hoped to hear from them soon. It said goodbye and thank you. + +The children clapped and cheered. They were very happy and curious. They wanted to see the book and the globe. They wanted to write back to the other school. They thanked the mailman and the teacher. + +The mailman smiled and waved. He said he had to go and deliver more packages. He said he hoped to see them again. He said goodbye and left. + +The teacher said they had a wonderful opportunity to make new friends and explore the world. She said they would read the book and look at the globe together. She said they would write a letter and send a package back. She said they would have a lot of fun. + +Anna and Ben agreed. They thought it was the best day ever. They loved their classroom and their surprise. They wondered what else the world had to offer. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to dig holes in the sand with their shovels. They make a big hole and put some rocks and sticks in it. They pretend it is a treasure. + +"Look, Anna, we have a lot of treasure!" Ben says. + +"Yes, Ben, we are very rich!" Anna says. + +They go to the slide and have fun. They slide down and laugh. They forget about their hole and their treasure. + +A dog comes to the park. He smells the hole. He thinks there is something good in it. He digs with his paws. He finds the rocks and the sticks. He takes them out and plays with them. He makes a mess. + +Anna and Ben come back to their hole. They see the dog and the mess. They are sad and angry. + +"Hey, dog, that is our treasure!" Anna says. + +"Go away, dog, you are bad!" Ben says. + +The dog barks and runs away. He does not care. He likes the rocks and the sticks. + +Anna and Ben look at their hole. It is empty and dirty. They have no treasure. + +They cry and hug each other. They are sorry they forget their hole. + +They decide to dig a new hole and find new treasure. They also decide to watch their hole and not forget it again. + +They hope the dog does not come back. They want their hole to be clean and safe. +Anna is a pupil in a big school. She likes to learn new things and play with her friends. But sometimes she feels sad or angry and does not want to seat in her chair. She wants to run or shout or cry. + +One day, Anna has a big problem. She cannot find her teddy bear. She loves her teddy bear very much and always sleeps with him. She looks everywhere in her room, but he is not there. She thinks maybe someone took him or he got lost. She feels very scared and sad. + +She goes to school with her mom, but she does not want to seat in her chair. She wants to find her teddy bear. She tells her teacher, Miss Lee, that she is sad. Miss Lee is very kind and listens to her. She says, "I understand, Anna. It is hard to lose something you love. But maybe your teddy bear is not lost. Maybe he is hiding somewhere. Why don't you seat in your chair and draw a picture of him? Maybe he will see it and come back to you." + +Anna thinks that is a good idea. She seats in her chair and takes a crayon and a paper. She draws a big brown teddy bear with a red bow and a smile. She writes his name, Bobo, on the paper. She feels a little better. She shows her picture to Miss Lee and her friends. They say it is a very nice picture and they hope Bobo will come back soon. + +When Anna goes home with her mom, she is surprised to see Bobo on her bed. He is holding a note that says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I was hiding under your pillow. I wanted to play a game with you. I love you very much. Your teddy bear, Bobo." Anna is very happy and hugs Bobo. She says, "I love you too, Bobo. You are my best friend. But please don't hide again. It makes me very sad." Bobo nods and smiles. Anna feels very peaceful and sleeps with him. She dreams of happy things. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for things. Sometimes they found rocks, shells, or coins. But today they found something different. + +"Look, Lily, what is this?" Tom said, holding up a shiny metal ring with strange marks on it. + +"I don't know, Tom. It looks old and pretty. Maybe it is a magic ring!" Lily said, taking it from Tom and putting it on her finger. + +"Maybe. Let's test it. Make a wish and see what happens," Tom said, curious. + +Lily closed her eyes and thought hard. She wished for a big ice cream cone with sprinkles. She opened her eyes and looked around. But there was no ice cream cone. + +"It doesn't work, Tom. It is not a magic ring. It is just a ring," Lily said, disappointed. + +"Maybe it is a very ancient ring. Maybe it belonged to a king or a queen a long time ago. Maybe they lost it here and we found it," Tom said, trying to cheer up Lily. + +"Really? Do you think so, Tom? That would be cool. Maybe we can find out more about it. Maybe we can take it to the museum and ask them," Lily said, brightening up. + +"Okay, let's do that. Maybe they will give us a reward. Or maybe they will let us keep it. Come on, Lily, let's go," Tom said, grabbing Lily's hand and running to the gate. + +They left the park, happy and excited. They did not know that the ring was indeed very ancient and very magic. But it only worked for the one who found it, not the one who wore it. And Tom had found it. And he had wished for something too. But he did not know it yet. He would find out soon enough. +Tom and Mia were playing in the yard when they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They looked at the sky and saw dark clouds. They felt raindrops on their faces. + +"Let's go inside, Tom. It's going to storm," Mia said. + +"OK, Mia. I don't like thunder. It scares me," Tom said. + +They ran to the house and opened the door. They saw their mom in the kitchen. She was making cookies. + +"Hi, kids. You're just in time for a snack. Come and sit down," mom said. + +She gave them each a plate with a cookie and a glass of milk. They smiled and thanked her. + +They ate their cookies and drank their milk. They felt warm and cozy. They heard the thunder again, but it sounded far away. + +"Mom, can you tell us a story?" Mia asked. + +"Sure, sweetie. What kind of story do you want to hear?" mom asked. + +"An ordinary story. A story about us," Tom said. + +"OK, an ordinary story. Let me think. How about the story of how we adopted you?" mom said. + +Tom and Mia nodded. They loved that story. They shivered with excitement. They moved closer to mom and listened. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with a lot of grass and flowers. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tim said. He ran to the hill and started to go up. + +"Wait for me, Tim!" Lily said. She followed him, but she was slower. She had to stop and look at the flowers and the bugs. + +Tim was impatient. He wanted to get to the top of the hill fast. He did not want to wait for Lily. He did not look at the flowers or the bugs. He only looked at the sky and the trees. + +"Come on, Lily! Hurry up!" Tim shouted. He was almost at the top of the hill. + +"No, Tim! Slow down! Look at this pretty flower!" Lily shouted back. She had found a yellow flower with a red center. She wanted to pick it and show it to Tim. + +Tim and Lily started to fight. They yelled at each other. They did not listen to each other. They did not have fun. + +A bird flew over the hill. It saw Tim and Lily fighting. It felt sad. It wanted them to be friends. It flew down and landed on the yellow flower. It sang a sweet song. + +Tim and Lily stopped fighting. They looked at the bird. They listened to the song. They smiled. + +"Wow, what a beautiful bird!" Tim said. + +"And what a beautiful flower!" Lily said. + +They forgot their fight. They went to the bird and the flower. They said sorry to each other. They hugged. + +They climbed the rest of the hill together. They saw what was on the other side. They saw a pond with ducks and frogs. They saw a swing and a slide. They saw more flowers and bugs. + +They played and laughed. They shared and helped. They had fun. + +The bird flew away. It felt happy. It sang another song. +Lily and Tom were bored. It was a dull day. The sky was gray and the wind was cold. They could not go outside and play. + +"Can we bake something, Mom?" Lily asked. She liked to bake with Mom. She liked to mix the flour and the eggs and the sugar. She liked to smell the cake in the oven. + +"Sure, we can bake a cake," Mom said. "But first, we need to go to the shop and buy some milk and butter. Put on your coats, kids. It's chilly outside." + +Lily and Tom put on their coats. They were happy. They liked to go to the shop with Mom. They liked to see the fruits and the candies and the toys. They liked to say hello to the shopkeeper. + +They walked to the shop. They saw a big dog on the way. The dog was brown and fluffy. It barked at them. + +"Hello, dog," Lily said. "Do you want to bake a cake with us?" + +The dog wagged its tail. It liked Lily. It followed them to the shop. + +"Can we keep the dog, Mom?" Tom asked. He liked the dog too. He wanted to pet it and play with it. + +"We can't keep the dog, Tom," Mom said. "The dog belongs to someone else. Maybe we can ask the shopkeeper if he knows who the dog's owner is." + +They went to the shop. They bought the milk and the butter. They asked the shopkeeper about the dog. + +"That's Max," the shopkeeper said. "He's my dog. He likes to run away and make new friends. Thank you for bringing him back." + +"You're welcome," Lily and Tom said. They were sad. They liked Max. They wanted to bake a cake with him. + +"Maybe you can come and visit Max sometime," the shopkeeper said. "He likes kids. And maybe I can give you some cookies as a thank you." + +Lily and Tom smiled. They liked cookies. They liked the shopkeeper. They liked Max. + +They said goodbye to Max and the shopkeeper. They went home with Mom. They baked a cake. It was yummy. They were not bored anymore. It was a good day. +Tom and Mia 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 climb the pole. The pole was tall and shiny. It was fun to go up and down. + +One day, Tom and Mia went to the park as usual. They ran to the pole and started to climb. Tom was faster than Mia. He reached the top of the pole and shouted, "Look at me! I am the king of the pole!" + +Mia was still halfway up the pole. She wanted to reach the top too. But she felt scared. The pole was very high and she could not see the ground. She started to cry. "Tom, help me! I want to go down!" + +Tom heard Mia cry. He looked down and saw her. He felt sorry for her. He was her best friend. He said, "Don't worry, Mia. I will help you. Stay where you are. I will come down and hold your hand." + +Tom climbed down the pole carefully. He reached Mia and held her hand. He said, "It's okay, Mia. You are brave. We will go down together. I will not let go of your hand. I am dependable." + +Mia felt better. She trusted Tom. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. You are dependable." + +Tom and Mia climbed down the pole slowly. They reached the ground and hugged. They were happy. They learned that friends should help each other and be dependable. They decided to play something else. They did not want to climb the pole again. They had enough of the pole. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. Lily had a big pirate ship and Ben had a small car. They liked to make noises and pretend they were on adventures. + +"Look, my pirate ship can sail on the water!" Lily said, putting her ship in a bucket. "It has a flag and a cannon and a captain!" + +"That's cool, but my car can go very fast on the road!" Ben said, zooming his car on the ground. "It has wheels and a horn and a driver!" + +They played for a while, but then Ben wanted to try the pirate ship. He reached for it, but Lily pulled it away. + +"No, this is my pirate ship!" she said. "You can't have it!" + +"But I want to play with it too!" Ben said. "You have to share!" + +They started to argue and tug at the ship. They both wanted it for themselves. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said, coming out of the house. "What's going on here?" + +"Lily won't let me play with her pirate ship!" Ben said. + +"Ben won't let me play with my pirate ship!" Lily said. + +Mom looked at them and shook her head. "You know, sharing is a good thing. It means you can have more fun and make more friends. How about you take turns with the pirate ship? Lily can play with it for ten minutes, then Ben can play with it for ten minutes. And while you wait, you can play with something else. Maybe you can find something open in the toy box, like a puzzle or a book." + +Lily and Ben thought about it. They liked puzzles and books. They also liked the pirate ship. Maybe sharing was not so bad. + +"Okay, mom, we'll try that," they said. + +Mom smiled and gave them a hug. "That's good. I'm proud of you. Now, go and have fun, and don't forget to say please and thank you when you share." + +Lily and Ben nodded and went back to their toys. They decided to share the pirate ship and the car, and to play with other things too. They had more fun and made more noises. They also said please and thank you. They were happy. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a lot of equipment. They have a ball, a bike, a kite and a doll. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. It has a collar with a tag. The tag says "Rex". + +"Hello, dog," Tom says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The dog wags its tail. It runs to Tom and Anna. It sniffs their equipment. It likes the ball. It picks up the ball in its mouth. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Anna says. "Give it back, dog!" + +The dog does not listen. It runs away with the ball. Tom and Anna chase the dog. They want their ball back. + +The dog runs to a bench. There is a man on the bench. He is reading a book. He looks up and sees the dog. + +"Rex, what are you doing?" the man says. "That's not your ball. That's someone else's ball. Drop it, boy." + +The dog drops the ball. It looks at the man. It looks at Tom and Anna. It looks at the ball. + +"Sorry, kids," the man says. "Rex is a good dog, but he likes to play too much. He is very loyal to me. He always follows me everywhere. He thinks everything is a toy." + +Tom and Anna get their ball. They are not angry. They understand. They like the dog and the man. + +"Can we play with Rex?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, if you want," the man says. "He would love that. He likes to make new friends." + +Tom and Anna smile. They play with Rex and the man. They share their equipment. They have fun. They are all friends. +Ben and Lily were adventurous twins who liked to explore new places. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Ben said. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be something scary or dangerous," Lily said. + +They lifted the lid and saw a lot of wires and buttons and lights. It looked like a machine. They were curious and excited. + +"What do you think it does?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it makes music or pictures or something," Lily said. + +She reached out and pressed a red button. Suddenly, the machine made a loud noise and a bright flash. Ben and Lily felt a shock in their hands and feet. They screamed and let go of the machine. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow! That hurt!" Ben cried. + +"Me too! Me too! What was that?" Lily cried. + +They ran out of the garage and hugged their mom, who heard their screams and came to see what was wrong. + +"What happened, sweeties? Are you OK?" Mom asked. + +"We found a machine in the garage and it shocked us!" Ben said. + +"A machine? What kind of machine?" Mom asked. + +"We don't know. It had wires and buttons and lights. We pressed a button and it turned on and zapped us!" Lily said. + +Mom looked worried and angry. She took them to the garage and saw the machine. She recognized it as an old electric generator that Dad had bought at a yard sale and forgot to throw away. + +"Oh no! This is very dangerous! You should never touch this! It can hurt you very badly!" Mom said. + +She unplugged the machine and put it in the trash. She checked Ben and Lily for any injuries and gave them hugs and kisses. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. We didn't know. We were just curious," Ben said. + +"We won't do it again, Mom. We're sorry," Lily said. + +Mom smiled and forgave them. She told them that curiosity was good, but they had to be careful and ask before touching anything they didn't know. She also told them that they were very adventurous and brave, but they had to be safe and smart too. + +She took them inside and gave them some cookies and milk. They felt better and learned a lesson. They decided to find a safer way to explore and have fun. +Sara and Tom were playing in the sand near the sea. They liked to make castles and tunnels and draw pictures with sticks. Sara found a big shell and showed it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, a shell! It is pretty and shiny. Do you want to see?" Sara said. + +"Yes, please. Can I hold it?" Tom said. + +Sara gave him the shell and he looked at it closely. He saw a small hole in the shell and blew into it. He heard a loud sound, like a horn. + +"Wow, that is fun! It makes noise!" Tom said. + +He blew into the shell again and again, making different sounds. Sara laughed and clapped her hands. They did not see a big fin coming out of the water, not far from them. + +A shark heard the noise and was curious. It swam closer and closer to the shore, where Sara and Tom were playing. It saw the shell in Tom's hand and thought it was food. It opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth. + +"Look out, Tom! A shark!" Sara shouted. + +She grabbed Tom's hand and pulled him away from the water. They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a blanket. They told them what they saw and showed them the shell. + +"Are you okay, kids? That was very brave of you, Sara, to save Tom from the shark. You are a good sister," Mom said. + +She hugged them and wiped their faces with a towel. Dad took the shell and looked at it. + +"This is a conch shell. It is very rare and beautiful. You can keep it as a souvenir of your adventure. But be careful, kids, not to play too close to the water. There might be more sharks around," Dad said. + +He put the shell in their bag and they packed their things. They decided to go to the park instead, where it was safer and more peaceful. They played on the swings and the slide and had a picnic. They forgot about the shark and had a lot of fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a big shed with a door. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Can we go in?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is not safe," Ben said. + +"Please, please, please. I want to see," Lily said. She pulled Ben's hand and opened the door. + +The shed was dark and dusty. There were many things inside. There were tools and boxes and pots and pans. There were also many cobwebs. Cobwebs are like thin strings that spiders make. They hang from the ceiling and the walls. + +"Wow, look at all the cobwebs," Lily said. She touched one with her finger. It was sticky and soft. + +"Yuck, I don't like cobwebs. They are dirty and scary," Ben said. He saw a big spider on a cobweb. It had eight legs and two eyes. It looked at Ben and moved. + +"Ah, a spider! Run, run, run!" Ben shouted. He dropped Lily's hand and ran out of the shed. + +Lily was not afraid of the spider. She thought it was cute and small. She said hello to the spider. + +"Hello, spider. What is your name? Do you like your cobweb?" Lily asked. + +The spider did not answer. It was tired of making cobwebs. It wanted to sleep. + +"Sorry, I did not mean to bother you. You can sleep now. Good night, spider," Lily said. She smiled and left the shed. + +She found Ben outside. He was hiding behind a tree. He was still scared of the spider. + +"Ben, it was just a spider. It was not mean. It was tired," Lily said. + +"Really? How do you know?" Ben asked. + +"I talked to it. It was nice. It said good night to me," Lily said. + +"You talked to a spider? That is silly. Spiders don't talk," Ben said. + +"Yes, they do. You just have to listen," Lily said. + +Lily and Ben went back to playing in the garden. They had fun. They forgot about the shed and the cobwebs and the spider. They were happy. +Lily loved her new toy car. It was red and shiny and could zoom very fast. She played with it every day and showed it to her friends. They all wanted to try it, but Lily said no. She did not want to share her toy car. + +One day, she took her toy car to the park. She zoomed it on the grass and the paths. She saw a boy with a toy plane. It was blue and had wings and could fly in the air. Lily wanted to try it, but the boy said no. He did not want to share his toy plane. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She thought the boy was mean. She said, "Your toy plane is not as good as my toy car. My toy car is faster and more popular. Everyone likes it more than your toy plane." + +The boy felt sad and angry too. He said, "That's not true. My toy plane is better than your toy car. My toy plane can fly and do tricks. No one can do that with your toy car." + +They started to argue and shout. They did not notice a dog that came near them. The dog was curious and hungry. It saw the toy car and the toy plane. It thought they were snacks. It grabbed them with its mouth and ran away. + +Lily and the boy were shocked and scared. They chased the dog, but it was too fast. They lost their toys. They cried and felt sorry. They wished they had shared their toys. They learned that being greedy and rude is not good. They decided to be kind and friendly to each other and to other children. They hoped to find new toys that they could play with together. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play and share. But today is their birthday. Mommy made a big cake for them. It has pink and blue frosting and candles. + +Lily and Ben are very happy. They want to eat the cake. But Mommy says they have to wait. They have to sing and blow the candles first. And they have to be clean. Mommy says cake is a treat, not a meal. + +Lily and Ben nod. They go to wash their hands and faces. But Ben has a plan. He whispers to Lily. He says they can sneak a bite of the cake. He says Mommy will not see. He says it will be fun. + +Lily is not sure. She likes cake, but she also likes Mommy. She does not want to make Mommy sad or mad. She says no to Ben. She says they have to follow the rules. She says cake will taste better later. + +Ben does not listen. He is too hungry and curious. He runs to the kitchen. He sees the cake on the table. He reaches for it. But he is too small. He slips and falls. He knocks the cake off the table. The cake lands on the floor. It is smashed and dirty. + +Mommy hears the noise. She comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess. She sees Ben crying. She sees Lily standing by the door. She is shocked and angry. She asks what happened. + +Ben is sorry. He tells Mommy the truth. He says he wanted to eat the cake. He says he did not listen to Lily. He says he was naughty. + +Mommy is disappointed. She says Ben broke the rules. She says he wasted the cake. She says he hurt himself and Lily. She says he has to say sorry to Lily. She says he has to help clean up. She says he has to go to bed early. She says he will not get any cake today. + +Lily feels bad for Ben. She says sorry to Mommy. She says she tried to stop Ben. She says she loves cake, but she loves Mommy more. She says she will help clean up. She says she will share her cake with Ben tomorrow. + +Mommy hugs Lily. She says Lily was good. She says she followed the rules. She says she was kind and honest. She says she is proud of Lily. She says she can have some cake today. She says she can stay up a little longer. + +Lily and Ben hug each other. They say sorry to each other. They say they love each other. They say they will play and share. They say they will listen to Mommy. They say they will be clean. + +Mommy smiles. She says she loves them both. She says they are her sweet twins. She says they can have a new cake tomorrow. She says they can sing and blow the candles together. She says they can have a happy birthday. +Tommy was sleepy. He wanted to go to bed, but Mommy said no. Mommy said it was still daytime and he had to play with his toys. Tommy did not like that. He wanted to cuddle with Mommy and his teddy bear. + +Mommy was busy. She had to work on her laptop and drink coffee. She said coffee made her awake and happy. Tommy did not understand. He thought coffee was yucky and bitter. He liked milk and juice better. + +Tommy decided to make Mommy sleepy. He took her coffee mug and hid it behind the couch. He thought Mommy would not find it and she would get tired. Then she would go to bed with him. + +Mommy looked for her coffee. She could not see it anywhere. She asked Tommy, "Where is my coffee, honey? Did you see it?" Tommy blinked. He tried to act innocent. He said, "No, Mommy. I did not see your coffee. Maybe it ran away." + +Mommy did not believe him. She saw his cheeky smile and his dirty hands. She said, "Tommy, did you take my coffee and hide it? That is not nice. Coffee is for grown-ups, not for children. You have to give it back to me." + +Tommy felt guilty. He knew he did something wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I wanted you to be sleepy like me. I wanted to go to bed with you and teddy." He showed Mommy where he hid the coffee. + +Mommy hugged him and said, "I love you, Tommy. But you have to respect my things and my time. I need coffee to work and to take care of you. You need to play and nap to grow and learn. How about we make a deal? You can play with your toys for a little while, and then we can have a snack and read a story together. Then you can go to bed with teddy. Does that sound good?" + +Tommy nodded. He said, "Yes, Mommy. That sounds good. I love you too." He gave Mommy a kiss and went to play with his toys. He was still sleepy, but he was also happy. He learned a lesson and he made a deal. He hoped Mommy would not drink too much coffee and she would be sleepy too. He wanted to cuddle with her and his teddy bear. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide and swing. They also liked to look at the sky and see the shapes of the clouds. + +"Look, Lily, that cloud looks like a dog!" Sam said, pointing at a fluffy white cloud. + +"I see it, Sam, it has a big nose and a long tail!" Lily said, giggling. "And that cloud looks like a flower, with many petals!" + +They paused and lay down on the grass, watching the clouds move and change. They felt the sun on their faces and the breeze on their hair. + +Suddenly, they saw a brilliant flash of light in the sky. It was a plane, flying very fast and very high. It left a long white trail behind it, like a pencil drawing on a blue paper. + +"Wow, what is that?" Sam asked, amazed. + +"It's a plane, Sam, it takes people to faraway places," Lily said, remembering what her mom had told her. + +"Can we go on a plane someday, Lily?" Sam asked, curious. + +"Maybe, Sam, maybe. But for now, let's enjoy the park and the clouds and the sun," Lily said, smiling. + +They held hands and continued to play, happy and content. +Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they decided to go to the big hill near their house. They called it a mountain, because it was so high and green. They wanted to see what was on the other side of the mountain. + +They packed some snacks and water in their backpacks and started to climb. The sky was gloomy and gray, but they did not mind. They sang songs and told jokes as they walked. They saw some birds and flowers and rocks along the way. + +When they reached the top of the mountain, they were very happy. They could see far and wide. They saw their house, their school, and the park. They also saw a big lake that sparkled in the sun. They wanted to go there and swim and splash. + +"Look, Mia, a lake!" Tom said. "Let's go there and have some fun!" + +"OK, Tom, but we have to be careful. It looks deep and cold," Mia said. + +They ran down the other side of the mountain, holding hands. They did not see the dark clouds that were coming closer. They did not hear the thunder that was rumbling. They did not feel the wind that was blowing. + +They reached the lake and took off their shoes and socks. They dipped their toes in the water. It was cold and wet. They laughed and splashed each other. They did not notice the rain that started to fall. They did not see the lightning that flashed. They did not hear the voice that called them. + +"Tom! Mia! Come back! It's dangerous!" It was Tom's mom. She had followed them to the mountain. She had seen the storm. She was worried and scared. + +But Tom and Mia did not hear her. They were having too much fun. They poured water on each other's heads. They made bubbles and waves. They did not know that the storm was getting worse. They did not know that the lake was rising. They did not know that they were in trouble. +Lily and Ben are twins. They live in a big house with their mom and dad. They like to play in their rooms, but sometimes they get bored. One day, they decide to explore the hall. + +The hall is long and dark. There are many doors on both sides. Lily and Ben look at each door and wonder what is behind them. They hear strange noises and see shadows. They feel scared, but also curious. + +They open one door and see a small room. There are many old things in the room. There are books, clothes, toys, and pictures. Lily and Ben look at the pictures and see people they do not know. They look sad and poor. + +"Who are they?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe they are our family from a long time ago." + +"Maybe they lived here before us," Lily says. + +"Maybe they had no money and no fun," Ben says. + +Lily and Ben feel sorry for the people in the pictures. They wonder how they lived and what they did. They wish they could help them and make them happy. + +They hear their mom calling them from downstairs. They close the door and run to the hall. They hold hands and smile. They are glad they have each other and their mom and dad. They are glad they live in a big house and have many things. They are glad they are not sad and poor. +Tom loves to play ball with his dad. They go to the park and find a big space. Dad throws the ball to Tom and says, "Strike one!" Tom tries to hit the ball with his bat, but he misses. He smiles and says, "I can do it!" + +Dad throws the ball again and says, "Strike two!" Tom swings his bat, but he misses again. He frowns and says, "I need to try harder!" + +Dad throws the ball one more time and says, "Strike three!" Tom hits the ball with his bat and it flies far away. He jumps and says, "I did it! I did it!" Dad runs to Tom and hugs him. He says, "You did it! You hit a home run!" + +They go to get the ball and see a man selling ice cream. Dad buys two cones, one for him and one for Tom. Tom licks his ice cream and says, "This is delicious! Thank you, Dad!" Dad licks his ice cream and says, "You're welcome, Tom! You're a great ball player!" They sit on a bench and enjoy their ice cream and their day. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in Mia's house. Mia has a big couch in her living room. It is soft and nice. Tom and Mia can sit on the couch and watch TV. They can also jump on the couch and make funny noises. + +One day, Tom and Mia are playing on the couch. They are pretending to be lions. They roar and growl and show their teeth. They have fun. But then, Mia's mom comes in. She is not happy. She says, "Stop jumping on the couch! You will break it! And stop roaring! You are too loud!" + +Tom and Mia are scared. They stop playing. They sit on the couch and look at Mia's mom. They are sad. They do not want to make Mia's mom angry. They say, "Sorry, mom. We are sorry." + +Mia's mom sees their faces. She feels sorry too. She says, "It's okay, kids. I know you are having fun. But you have to be careful with the couch. It is not a toy. And you have to be quiet. You do not want to disturb the neighbors." + +Tom and Mia nod. They understand. They say, "Okay, mom. We will be careful. We will be quiet." + +Mia's mom smiles. She says, "Thank you, kids. You are good friends. Do you want a snack?" + +Tom and Mia smile too. They say, "Yes, please!" + +Mia's mom goes to the kitchen. She brings some cookies and milk. She gives them to Tom and Mia. They say, "Thank you, mom. You are nice." + +Tom and Mia eat their cookies and drink their milk. They are happy. They watch TV on the couch. They do not jump or roar. They whisper and giggle. They are still friends. They are still lions. But they are nice lions. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play and learn new things. One day, they go with their mom to her work. Mom works at a big place with many books and people. Mom says it is a university. + +Mom has to talk to some people in a room. She tells Anna and Ben to wait outside and be good. She gives them some crayons and paper. Anna and Ben start to draw and color. But soon they get bored. They want to see more of the big place. + +They leave their crayons and paper on a bench. They hold hands and wander around. They see many doors and windows. They see some people walking and talking. They see some pictures and words on the walls. They wonder what they mean. + +They find a door that is open. They peek inside. They see a big room with many chairs and a big screen. They see a man with brown hair and glasses. He is talking to some people who are sitting in the chairs. He is pointing at the screen. He is using some big words that Anna and Ben do not understand. + +Anna and Ben are curious. They walk into the room. They sit in the front row. They look at the man and the screen. They try to listen and learn. But they do not know what the man is saying. They get confused and sleepy. + +The man sees Anna and Ben. He stops talking. He smiles. He asks them, "Hello, who are you? Are you here for my lecture on quantum physics?" + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They do not know what quantum physics is. They do not know what a lecture is. They do not know what to say. They are shy and scared. + +Mom comes into the room. She sees Anna and Ben. She is surprised and worried. She says, "Oh, there you are! I'm so sorry, I was looking for you. Come on, let's go. Thank you for being nice to them, sir." + +She takes Anna and Ben by the hand. She says sorry to the man and the people. She leaves the room. She says to Anna and Ben, "You should not wander off like that. You could get lost or in trouble. You should stay where I can see you. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They say sorry to mom. They hug her. They say, "We love you, mom. We just wanted to see and learn. But we did not like the big words. They made our heads hurt." + +Mom smiles. She says, "I love you too, Anna and Ben. I know you are curious and smart. But some things are too hard for you right now. You will learn them when you are older and bigger. For now, you can learn from your crayons and paper. They are more fun and easy. Do you want to go back and draw and color?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They say yes. They go back to the bench. They find their crayons and paper. They draw and color. They are happy and quiet. Mom watches them. She is proud and relieved. She thinks, "They are such good and clever twins. They will grow up to be amazing people. Maybe they will even go to the university someday." +Ben liked to play with his toy piano. He wanted to be a musician when he grew up. He liked to make songs and display them to his mom and dad. They always clapped and smiled when he played. + +One day, Ben found a bird on the grass. It was not moving or singing. It was dead. Ben felt sad. He wanted to help the bird. He picked it up and brought it to his toy piano. He played a song for the bird. He hoped the bird would wake up and fly away. + +But the bird did not wake up. It was still dead. Ben started to cry. He did not understand why the bird was dead. He hugged the bird and said sorry. He wished he could make the bird happy. + +His mom saw him crying and came to him. She saw the bird and the piano. She knew what Ben was trying to do. She hugged him and said it was not his fault. She said the bird was sick and died. She said it was very kind of Ben to play a song for the bird. She said the bird would like his song. + +She helped him bury the bird in the garden. She gave him a flower to put on the grave. She said the bird was in a better place now. She said the bird would always hear his music in his heart. She said he was a good musician and a good friend. She kissed him and said she loved him. Ben felt a little better. He still missed the bird, but he was glad he had his mom and his music. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big pie on the table. It smelled good. + +"Can we have some pie?" Ben asked. + +"No, Mom said we have to wait for lunch," Lily said. + +But Ben was hungry. He looked around. Mom was not there. He ran to the table and grabbed a piece of pie. + +"Ben, no!" Lily shouted. "You are not careful!" + +But Ben did not listen. He took a big bite of the pie. It was hot. He burned his tongue. He spit out the pie. He cried. + +Mom heard Ben cry. She came to the garden. She saw the pie on the table. She saw Ben's mouth. She was angry. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Mom asked. + +Ben did not answer. He was scared. He lied. + +"I did not eat the pie," Ben said. "A bird did." + +Mom did not believe Ben. She saw the pie on his hand. She saw the crumbs on his shirt. She knew he lied. + +"Ben, you lied to me," Mom said. "That is bad. You have to say sorry. And you have to share the pie with Lily." + +Ben felt sorry. He said sorry to Mom. He said sorry to Lily. He gave Lily a piece of pie. He was careful. He waited for the pie to cool down. He ate the pie with Lily. It was good. Mom smiled. She hugged Ben and Lily. She was happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to be explorers in the jungle. They put on their hats and backpacks and grabbed their binoculars. They went to the backyard, where there were many trees and plants. + +"Look, Ben, a monkey!" Lily said, pointing to a stuffed animal on a branch. "Let's go say hello." + +They walked towards the monkey, but they did not see a big hole in the ground. They fell into the hole and landed on some leaves. They were not hurt, but they were scared and upset. + +"Help, help!" they cried. "We are stuck in the hole!" + +Their mom heard their cries and came to the backyard. She saw the hole and looked inside. She saw Lily and Ben and smiled. + +"Don't worry, my little explorers," she said. "I will get you out of the hole. Just stay calm and settle down." + +She got a rope and threw it into the hole. She told Lily and Ben to hold on to the rope and she pulled them up. They climbed out of the hole and hugged their mom. + +"Thank you, mom," they said. "You are the best." + +They were happy and relieved. They decided to play something else. They left the jungle and went to the kitchen, where they had some cookies and milk. They learned to be careful when they play pretend. +Tommy liked to play soccer with his friends in the park. He had a big ball that he could kick hard and fast. Sometimes he kicked the ball too hard and it went out of the park. He had to run and get it back. + +One day, he kicked the ball so hard that it flew over the fence and hit a man in the head. The man was wearing a suit and a tie and had a briefcase. He was a lawyer. He was very angry and shouted at Tommy. + +"Hey, you little brat! How dare you kick that ball at me? Do you know who I am? I am a lawyer and I can sue you and your parents for this!" + +Tommy was scared and sorry. He did not know what sue meant, but it sounded bad. He ran to the fence and said, "I'm sorry, mister. I didn't mean to hit you. Please don't be mad at me." + +The lawyer was still angry and said, "Sorry is not enough. You have to pay me for the damage you did to my head and my suit. Give me your ball and your money right now!" + +Tommy did not have any money. He only had his ball. He loved his ball and did not want to give it away. He said, "No, mister. This is my ball. You can't have it. It was an accident. Please let me go." + +The lawyer was about to grab the ball from Tommy, when another man came and stopped him. He was a policeman. He had a badge and a gun and a hat. He said, "What's going on here? Why are you yelling at this kid?" + +The lawyer tried to explain, but the policeman did not believe him. He said, "You should be ashamed of yourself. This kid is only three years old. He made a mistake, but he apologized. You have no right to take his ball or his money. You are the one who should say sorry and leave him alone." + +The lawyer was embarrassed and angry. He did not like to be scolded by the policeman. He did not say sorry. He just picked up his briefcase and walked away. He muttered, "This is ridiculous. I'll get you for this, kid. You'll see." + +The policeman smiled and said, "Don't worry about him, Tommy. He's just a mean and greedy man. You did nothing wrong. Here, take your ball and go play with your friends. Have fun and be careful." + +Tommy thanked the policeman and hugged his ball. He was happy and relieved. He ran back to the park and joined his friends. He kicked the ball again, but not too hard. He did not want to hit anyone else. He just wanted to have fun. +Tom and Anna like to play pretend. They have a big box that they use as a stage. They put on funny hats and clothes and make up stories. Sometimes they sing and dance, too. + +One day, they want to do a show for their mom and dad. They make a sign that says "Tom and Anna's Show" and hang it on the box. They ask their mom and dad to sit on the couch and watch. They are very excited. + +They go behind the box and get ready. Tom puts on a pirate hat and a sword. Anna puts on a princess dress and a crown. They whisper to each other what they are going to do. + +They come out of the box and say "Hello, welcome to our show!" They start to act like a pirate and a princess who meet on an island. They make funny voices and faces. They pretend to fight and hug and dance. + +But then, something happens. Tom trips on his sword and falls down. He hurts his knee and starts to cry. Anna runs to him and tries to help him. She says "Are you okay, Tom?" She gives him a hug and a kiss. + +Their mom and dad see what happened and get up from the couch. They go to the stage and pick up Tom. They say "Oh, poor Tom, let's see your knee. It's okay, it's just a little scratch. You are very brave." They take him to the bathroom and put a band-aid on his knee. + +Anna stays on the stage. She feels sad and lonely. She looks at the empty stage and the empty couch. She says "What about our show? We didn't finish our show." She starts to cry, too. She lays down on the stage and hugs her crown. She says "I miss Tom. I want to play with Tom." +Anna and Ben liked to play on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells and crabs. One day, they found a big crab with red claws. It was hiding under a rock. + +"Look, Anna, a crab!" Ben said. He reached out to touch it. + +"Be careful, Ben, it might pinch you!" Anna said. She was afraid of crabs. She thought they were mean and scary. + +Ben was not afraid. He was brave and curious. He wanted to see the crab up close. He picked it up and held it in his hand. The crab did not like that. It snapped its claws at Ben. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. He dropped the crab and ran to Anna. He showed her his hand. It had a red mark where the crab pinched him. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Anna asked. She hugged him and kissed his hand. She was a good sister. She was dependable and kind. + +"I'm okay, Anna, but that crab was mean!" Ben said. He was angry and sad. He wanted to get back at the crab. + +He looked around and saw a bucket and a lock. He had an idea. He ran back to the rock where the crab was. He scooped it up with the bucket and put the lock on it. He smiled and said, "Now you can't get out, crab! That's what you get for pinching me!" + +He brought the bucket to Anna and showed her. "Look, Anna, I locked the crab in the bucket!" he said. He was proud and happy. + +Anna looked at the bucket and the crab. She felt sorry for the crab. She thought it was not nice to lock it up. She said, "Ben, that's not fair. The crab was just scared. It didn't mean to hurt you. You should let it go." + +Ben thought about what Anna said. He realized she was right. He was not nice to the crab. He felt sorry too. He said, "You're right, Anna. I'm sorry, crab. I'll let you go." + +He took off the lock and opened the bucket. He poured the crab back into the sand. The crab scuttled away under the rock. It was free and safe. + +Anna and Ben smiled and hugged. They learned a lesson. They learned to be kind and gentle to animals. They learned to forgive and forget. They were good kids. They were dependable and brave. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play games. Today they play a game with cards. Each card has a picture of a fruit or a vegetable. Anna and Ben take turns to flip a card and say its name. + +Anna flips a card. It is a red apple. She says, "Apple!" Ben flips a card. It is a yellow banana. He says, "Banana!" They keep playing until there are no more cards. + +"Who wins?" Anna asks. + +"Let's count the cards," Ben says. They count the cards they have. Anna has ten cards. Ben has nine cards. + +"Anna wins!" Ben says. "You are good at this game." + +"Thank you, Ben. You are good too. And we are healthy. Fruits and vegetables are good for us," Anna says. + +"Yes, they are. Do you know what I dream of?" Ben asks. + +"What do you dream of?" Anna asks. + +"I dream of having a big fruit salad with all the fruits we saw on the cards. And some yogurt too. That would be yummy," Ben says. + +"That sounds yummy. I dream of that too. Maybe we can ask our moms to make it for us," Anna says. + +"Good idea. Let's do that. And then we can play another game," Ben says. + +"Okay. Let's go," Anna says. + +They hold hands and run to their moms. They are happy and healthy. They have fun with their cards and their dreams. +Tom was very happy. Today was his birthday. He wanted to receive a new toy. He hoped it was a big truck or a train. + +He ran to the living room. He saw a big box with a bow. He smiled. He opened the box. He saw a new chamber. It was a tent with stars and planets. He could play inside. + +"Wow! Thank you, Mom and Dad!" he said. He hugged them. He was very happy. + +"Happy birthday, Tom!" they said. "We know you like space. You can pretend you are an astronaut in your new chamber." + +Tom was very excited. He took his helmet and his rocket. He went inside the chamber. He turned on the light. He saw the stars and planets. He imagined he was flying to the moon. + +He had a lot of fun in his new chamber. He received the best gift ever. He was very happy. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. One day, they see a big sign in the park. The sign has a picture of a cat and some words. Lily and Max can read some words, but not all of them. They ask their mom what the sign says. + +Mom says, "The sign says that someone lost their cat. The cat is black and white and has a pink collar. Her name is Fluffy. The sign says to call this number if you find her." + +Lily and Max want to help. They look around the park for Fluffy. They see many things, but not Fluffy. They see birds, flowers, swings, slides, and other dogs. They do not see Fluffy. + +Then, they hear a meow. They follow the sound and find a big tree. In the tree, they see Fluffy. She is scared and stuck. Lily and Max call their mom and show her Fluffy. Mom says, "Good job, Lily and Max! You found Fluffy! Let's call the number on the sign and tell them we found her." + +They call the number and a lady answers. She is very happy and says she will come to the park right away. She says Fluffy is her cat and she loves her very much. She says she is elderly and Fluffy is her only friend. + +Soon, the lady arrives at the park. She is very old and has white hair and glasses. She hugs Fluffy and thanks Lily and Max and their mom. She says they are very kind and brave. She gives them a reward. She gives them a box of cookies and a book about cats. Lily and Max are very happy. They share the cookies with Spot and read the book with their mom. They are glad they helped Fluffy and the lady. They learned a new word: elderly. They think elderly means old and nice. +It was a dull day. The sky was gray and the rain was falling. Lily and Tom wanted to go outside and play, but they had to stay inside. + +"I'm bored," Lily said. "There is nothing to do." + +"Me too," Tom said. "Can we watch TV?" + +"No, TV is bad for you," Mom said. "Why don't you read a book or draw a picture?" + +Lily and Tom did not like that idea. They wanted to have fun, not sit and be quiet. They looked out the window and saw a big puddle in the yard. They had an idea. + +"Mom, can we go outside and jump in the puddle?" Lily asked. + +"Only if you wear your raincoats and boots," Mom said. "And take an umbrella." + +Lily and Tom put on their raincoats and boots. They found an umbrella in the closet. It was red and yellow and had dots on it. They thought it was pretty. They ran outside and opened the umbrella. + +"Look, we have a tent!" Lily said. She crawled under the umbrella and invited Tom to join her. + +Tom crawled under the umbrella too. He realized something. He said, "Lily, do you know what this is?" + +"What?" Lily asked. + +"This is a rainbow!" Tom said. He pointed at the umbrella. "See, it has all the colors of the rainbow. Red, yellow, green, blue, purple." + +Lily looked at the umbrella. She realized Tom was right. She said, "Wow, you're right! It is a rainbow! How did we get a rainbow on a dull day?" + +"I don't know," Tom said. "But it's cool. Maybe it's magic." + +Lily and Tom smiled. They felt happy. They played under the rainbow umbrella and forgot about the rain. They had fun. They did not care that it was a dull day. They made their own sunshine. +Anna liked peaches. She liked to eat them and feel the juice on her tongue. She liked to smell them and see their pretty colors. She liked to help her mom pick them from the tree in their yard. + +One day, Anna saw a big peach on the tree. It was the biggest peach she had ever seen. She wanted to eat it. She reached for it, but it was too high. She tried to jump, but she was too small. She looked for a stool, but there was none. She felt sad and angry. + +She saw her brother Ben nearby. He was taller than her. He was playing with his truck. Anna had an idea. She ran to him and said, "Ben, can you help me? I want the big peach on the tree. Can you get it for me?" + +Ben looked at her and shook his head. He said, "No, Anna. That is my peach. I saw it first. I am waiting for it to grow more. Go away and find another peach." + +Anna did not like his answer. She said, "No, Ben. That is not fair. You did not pick it. You did not grow it. It is not yours. It is ours. Mom said we can share the peaches. Please, Ben, give me the big peach." + +Ben did not listen. He said, "No, Anna. Go away. This is my truck. You can not play with it. You are too little. You will break it." + +Anna felt more sad and angry. She said, "No, Ben. You are mean. You are selfish. You do not share. You do not care. I will break your truck. Then you will see how it feels." + +She grabbed his truck and threw it on the ground. It made a loud noise. It broke into pieces. Ben cried. He said, "Anna, why did you do that? You are bad. You are naughty. You broke my truck. I hate you." + +Anna cried too. She said, "Ben, why did you do that? You are bad. You are naughty. You did not share the peach. I hate you." + +They both cried and yelled. They did not see their mom coming. She heard the noise and saw the mess. She said, "Anna, Ben, what is going on? Why are you fighting? Why did you break the truck? Why did you not share the peach?" + +She was not happy. She was mad. She said, "You both need a time out. You both need to say sorry. You both need to learn to be kind and share. The peach is not for anyone. It is for the birds. It is rotten. It has worms. Look." + +She pointed to the peach. It was brown and soft. It had holes and bugs. It was not good. It was bad. Anna and Ben felt sick. They said, "Ew, gross. Yuck." + +They looked at each other. They felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Anna. We were wrong. We were silly. We did not know. We do not want the peach. We want to be friends." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That is better. I am glad you said sorry. I am glad you want to be friends. Now, let's go inside and have some cookies. Maybe we can find some good peaches at the store. And maybe we can fix the truck. What do you say?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, mom. Thank you, mom. We love you, mom." + +They hugged mom. They hugged each other. They went inside. They had cookies. They had fun. They learned a lesson. They were happy. The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they go to the toy store with their moms. They see many toys. They want to buy some toys. + +They see a line of people. The people are waiting to pay for their toys. Lily and Ben join the line with their moms. They hold their toys. Lily has a doll. Ben has a car. + +Lily looks at Ben's car. She likes it. She says, "Your car is cool. Can I see it?" + +Ben nods. He gives his car to Lily. He says, "Thank you. Your doll is adorable. Can I see it?" + +Lily nods. She gives her doll to Ben. He says, "She has a pretty dress. And she can open her eyes." + +Lily says, "Yes, she can. And she can say mama." + +They make the doll say mama. They make the car zoom. They laugh. They are happy. + +Their moms smile. They say, "You are good friends. You share your toys." + +Lily and Ben say, "Yes, we are. We like to share." + +They give back their toys. They pay for their toys. They leave the toy store. They hug. They say, "Bye, friend. See you soon." + +They go home with their moms. They play with their new toys. They think of their friend. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park when they saw a big shadow on the ground. They looked up and saw a giant standing over them. He was very tall and pale, with long hair and a beard. He smiled and said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben and Lily were scared and ran away. They hid behind a tree and whispered to each other. "Who is he? Why is he here? He is so big and strange!" Ben said. "I don't know. Maybe he is lonely and wants a friend. He looks nice and sad," Lily said. + +The giant saw them hiding and walked slowly towards them. He knelt down and said, "Please don't be afraid. I mean no harm. I just came to visit this place. I live far away, in the mountains. I don't have many friends there. Will you be my friends?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They felt sorry for the giant. He seemed kind and gentle. They decided to give him a chance. They came out from behind the tree and said, "OK, we will be your friends. But you have to be careful. You are very big and we are very small. You might hurt us by accident." + +The giant nodded and said, "I understand. I will be careful. Thank you for accepting me. What are your names?" Ben and Lily told him their names and asked him his. He said, "My name is Gulliver. Nice to meet you, Ben and Lily. What do you like to play?" + +Ben and Lily told him about their favorite games and toys. They showed him their ball, their bike, their doll and their truck. The giant was amazed and curious. He wanted to try them all, but he was too big for them. He said, "I wish I had toys like yours. They are so fun and colorful. I only have rocks and sticks in the mountains." + +Ben and Lily felt sorry for him again. They wanted to make him happy. They had an idea. They said, "We can make you some toys. We can use some cardboard, some paint, some glue and some scissors. We can make you a big ball, a big bike, a big doll and a big truck. Do you want that?" + +The giant was overjoyed. He said, "Yes, please. That would be wonderful. You are very clever and generous. Can I help you?" Ben and Lily said, "Sure, you can help us. But you have to be gentle and follow our instructions. We will show you what to do." + +They went to the nearby recycling bin and found some cardboard boxes. They cut them and shaped them into toys. They painted them with bright colors. They glued them together. They made a big ball, a big bike, a big doll and a big truck for the giant. They gave them to him and said, "Here you go, Gulliver. These are your toys. We hope you like them." + +The giant was delighted. He hugged them and said, "Thank you, Ben and Lily. You are the best friends I ever had. I love my toys. They are beautiful and fun. Can I play with them now?" Ben and Lily said, "Of course you can. But be careful not to break them. They are not very strong. And don't make too much noise. You might scare the other people in the park." + +The giant said, "OK, I will be careful and quiet. I just want to have some fun with you and my toys. Let's play together." Ben and Lily said, "OK, let's play together." They played with the giant and his toys. They had a lot of fun. They laughed and smiled. They forgot their fear and their difference. They were just friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the pool with their moms. The pool is big and blue. Anna and Ben have swimsuits and towels. + +"Look, Anna, there is a slide!" Ben says. He points to a big yellow slide that goes into the water. "Do you want to try it?" + +Anna looks at the slide. It is very high and fast. She feels scared. She shakes her head. "No, thank you, Ben. I like to stay in the shallow end." + +Ben shrugs. He likes to try new things. He runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. He waves to Anna and his mom. Then he slides down with a splash. He laughs and swims to the edge. + +Anna watches Ben. He looks happy and brave. She wonders what it feels like to slide down. She wants to have fun too. She thinks maybe she can try it. She takes a deep breath and walks to the slide. She climbs up the ladder slowly. She reaches the top and looks down. She feels scared again. She wants to go back. + +But then she sees Ben. He is waiting for her at the bottom. He smiles and shouts, "Come on, Anna, you can do it! It's fun, I promise!" + +Anna hears Ben. She trusts him. He is her friend. She decides to be brave too. She slides down with a scream. She feels the wind and the water. She feels a thrill. She lands in the water with a splash. She swims to the edge. She sees Ben. He gives her a high-five. + +"Wow, Anna, you did it! You are awesome!" Ben says. + +Anna smiles. She feels proud and happy. She did it. She had fun. She is not scared anymore. + +The end. +It was a rainy day. Sam and Lily wanted to go outside and play. But Mom said they had to stay inside. + +"Rain is wet and cold. You will get sick," Mom said. + +Sam and Lily were sad. They looked out the window and saw the raindrops falling. They saw a big puddle in the yard. They wanted to jump in it and splash. + +Then Sam had an idea. He ran to the closet and found an umbrella. It was red and yellow and had stars on it. He gave it to Lily. + +"Look, Lily. I have an umbrella. We can go outside and play with it. We will not get wet and sick," Sam said. + +Lily smiled. She took the umbrella and opened it. It was big and bright. She held it over her head. + +"Thank you, Sam. I love the umbrella. It is so pretty and clean," Lily said. + +They put on their boots and coats and ran outside. They held the umbrella together and walked in the rain. They sang and laughed and had fun. They jumped in the puddle and splashed. The umbrella kept them dry and warm. + +Mom watched them from the window. She smiled and shook her head. She was happy to see them happy. She loved Sam and Lily very much. +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were giants and the furniture was their toys. They picked up the chairs and the pillows and moved them around. They made loud noises and laughed. + +"Look, I have a big sofa!" Tom said, holding it over his head. + +"I have a bigger table!" Lily said, dragging it across the floor. + +They did not see that their mom was watching them. She was not happy. She did not like them to be careless with the furniture. She did not want them to break it or hurt themselves. + +"Tom, Lily, stop that right now!" she said, raising her voice. + +The children heard her and dropped the furniture. They looked at her with scared faces. + +"Sorry, mom," they said. + +"You should be more careful," she said. "The furniture is not for playing. It is for sitting and eating and working. You could have damaged it or scratched the floor. And you could have increased your chance of getting hurt. What if the sofa or the table fell on you?" + +The children nodded. They understood. They felt bad for being careless. + +"We won't do it again, mom," they said. + +"Good," she said. "Now, help me put the furniture back where it belongs. And then we can play something else. Something safer and quieter." + +The children helped her. They apologized again. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with their books and their blocks instead. They still had fun, but they were more careful. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun, but they also wanted a drink. They saw a cup on the table, filled with juice. Anna reached for the cup, but Ben wanted it too. + +"Mine!" Ben shouted, and grabbed the cup from Anna's hand. He tried to drink from it, but he spilled some juice on his shirt. He was angry and threw the cup on the floor. The cup broke into pieces and made a loud noise. + +"Bad!" Anna said, and hit Ben on the head. Ben cried and hit Anna back. They started to fight and yell at each other. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the broken cup, the spilled juice, and the fighting children. She was very sad and upset. + +"Stop!" Mom said, and separated Anna and Ben. She looked at them with a stern face. "Why did you do that? You broke the cup, you made a mess, and you hurt each other. That's not nice. That's not how we treat our things and our friends. You need to say sorry and hug each other." + +Anna and Ben felt ashamed and sorry. They looked at each other and said, "Sorry." They hugged each other and said, "Friends." Mom smiled and hugged them too. She was compassionate and understood that they were still learning. She said, "It's okay. I love you. But next time, please share and be gentle. And don't touch the cup without asking. It's dangerous. Come, let's clean up and get a new cup of juice." +Lisa loved to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pretty dress, and a shiny crown. Lisa liked to pretend that Anna was a princess and she was her friend. + +One day, Lisa's mom said they had to move to a new house. Lisa was sad. She did not want to leave her old house and her friends. She packed her dolls in a big box, but she kept Anna with her. She hugged Anna and said, "Don't worry, we will be happy in our new house." + +But when they got to the new house, Lisa was not happy. The new house was small and dark. There was no room for her dolls, and no garden to play in. Lisa had to share a bed with her brother, who snored and kicked. Lisa felt miserable. She missed her old house and her friends. She cried every night and said, "I want to go home." + +One day, Lisa's mom came home with a surprise. She had a big bag with a bow on it. She said, "Lisa, this is for you. I hope you like it." She gave the bag to Lisa and smiled. Lisa opened the bag and gasped. Inside was a beautiful dollhouse. It had four rooms, a balcony, and a garden. It was painted in bright colors and had tiny furniture and accessories. Lisa's mom said, "This is a luxury dollhouse. It is very special and expensive. I saved money for a long time to buy it for you. I want you to be happy in our new house." + +Lisa was amazed. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. This is the best gift ever." She took out Anna and said, "Look, Anna, this is your new home. You are a princess and this is your castle. You have everything you need and want. You are very lucky." She put Anna in the dollhouse and started to play. She forgot about her sadness and smiled. She felt happy. She became friends with the other dolls and made up stories with them. She said, "This is my new home. I have a luxury dollhouse and a mom who loves me. I am very lucky too." +Lily and Max were bored. They had played with all their toys and read all their books. They were restless and wanted to do something fun. + +"Let's go to the kitchen and see what we can find," Max suggested. He liked to eat snacks and explore the fridge. + +"Okay," Lily agreed. She followed Max to the kitchen. They opened the fridge and saw many things. There were fruits, cheese, yogurt, milk, and juice. There were also some cookies and cake that Mom had made. + +"Wow, look at all the yummy food!" Max exclaimed. He reached for the cake and took a big bite. "Mmm, this is so good!" + +Lily wanted some cake too, but she remembered what Mom had said. "Max, we should not eat the cake. Mom said it is for later, after dinner. She will be angry if we eat it now." + +Max did not listen to Lily. He ate another bite of the cake and then grabbed a cookie. "Don't be silly, Lily. Mom won't notice. There is plenty of food here. Come on, try some. It is fun!" + +Lily felt tempted, but she also felt guilty. She knew Mom had worked hard to make the cake and the cookies. She knew Mom wanted to share them with the whole family. She knew it was wrong to eat them without asking. + +"No, Max. I don't want to eat the cake or the cookie. I want to be good and wait for Mom. I think we should close the fridge and go back to our room." + +Max shrugged and ate another cookie. He did not care about being good. He only cared about having fun. + +Lily closed the fridge and went back to her room. She felt proud of herself for doing the right thing. She found a new book to read and enjoyed it. + +Max stayed in the kitchen and ate more cake and cookies. He felt happy for a while, but then he felt sick. His tummy hurt and he felt dizzy. He wished he had listened to Lily. + +Mom came home and saw the mess in the kitchen. She saw the half-eaten cake and the empty cookie jar. She saw Max lying on the couch, looking pale and miserable. + +She was very angry and disappointed. She scolded Max for being greedy and naughty. She told him he had to go to bed without dinner. She also told him he had to apologize to Lily and the rest of the family. + +Max felt ashamed and sorry. He realized he had made a big mistake. He wished he had been good and waited for Mom. He learned his lesson. + +The moral of the story is: It is better to be good and patient than to be greedy and selfish. +Tom is a big boy who likes to work. He helps his dad with the farm. He feeds the cows, he waters the plants, he picks the eggs. He is strong and fast and happy. + +One day, Tom sees a big hill behind the farm. He wants to see what is on the other side. He asks his dad if he can go. His dad says yes, but be careful and come back soon. Tom says okay and runs to the hill. + +Tom climbs the hill. It is hard and steep and long. He gets tired and sweaty and thirsty. But he does not give up. He wants to see the view. He reaches the top and looks around. He sees the farm, the cows, the plants, the eggs. He sees the road, the cars, the people, the shops. He sees the sky, the sun, the clouds, the birds. He sees a lot of things he has never seen before. He is amazed and happy. + +Tom stays on the hill for a while. He enjoys the view. He feels proud of himself. He did a good work. He is strong and fast and happy. He decides to go back to the farm. He runs down the hill. He sees his dad waiting for him. His dad smiles and hugs him. He tells him he is proud of him too. He asks him what he saw. Tom tells him everything. They go back to the farm together. They are strong and fast and happy. +Lily likes cereal. She likes it with milk and honey. She eats it every morning. She thinks cereal is yummy and good for her. + +One day, Lily sees a new box of cereal in the kitchen. It has a picture of a tiger on it. The tiger is orange and black and has a big smile. Lily thinks the tiger is attractive. She wants to try the new cereal. + +She asks her mom, "Mom, can I have the tiger cereal?" + +Her mom says, "Sure, Lily. But you have to share it with your brother. He likes tigers too." + +Lily says, "OK, mom. I will share." + +She pours some cereal in a bowl and adds milk and honey.

She shakes her head and says, "No, thank you. I don't want to slide. I want to swing." + +Sam frowns and says, "But sliding is more fun than swinging. Don't be a baby. Just try it once. You will like it." + +Mia feels hurt and angry. She is not a baby. She is a big girl. She likes swinging. She says, "No, I won't try it. You are a mean friend. You don't respect me." + +Sam feels sorry and sad. He is not a mean friend. He respects Mia. He just wanted to share his fun. He says, "I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't mean to hurt you. I respect you.

Lily says, as she watches his car land on the other side. "Can I try?" + +"Sure, Lily, here you go." Ben says, as he gives her his car. "But be careful, don't break it." + +Lily takes the car and tries to do the same as Ben. She pushes the car hard, but it doesn't jump very high.

Lily says, as she wipes her tears. + +Mom sighs and picks up the lamp. She sees that the wire is loose and the gas is leaking. + +"This is dangerous, kids. You can't play with the lamp.

I love you." + +Lily felt better. She hugged her mommy and said, "I love you too, mommy. Thank you for making me feel better. Can we throw away the mirror?" + +Her mommy said, "Yes, we can.

You are right. I should have listened to you. I should have allowed you to help me. Thank you for taking care of me. Can I play in the garden tomorrow?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, Lily, you can play in the garden tomorrow. If the sun comes out and the garden is dry and bright. But only if you promise to be careful and follow my rules." + +Lily nodded and said, "I promise, mom. I will be careful and follow your rules. I will be a good girl." + +Mom kissed her and said, "That's my Lily. Now, let's read a story and have a nap. You need to rest and get well." + +Lily snuggled with her mom and said, "OK, mom. I like stories and naps. I like you and the garden. I am happy." + +The end. +Ben and Mia are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, their mom tells them to clean their room and put away their toys. She says they have too many toys and they should sell some of them. + +Ben and Mia do not want to sell their toys. They love their toys and they have fun with them. They do not want to give them to other kids. They try to hide their toys under the bed and in the closet. But their mom finds them and puts them in a big box. She says she will take them to the market and sell them. + +Ben and Mia are sad and angry. They do not want to lose their toys. They sneak out of the house and follow their mom to the market. They see their mom talking to a lady who wants to buy their toys. The lady looks at the toys and says they are dirty and dusty. She says she will only pay a little money for them. + +Ben and Mia are excited. They think their mom will not sell their toys if they are dusty. They run to the box and grab their toys. They hug them and say they are sorry for not cleaning them. They tell their mom they want to keep their toys and they will clean them and put them away. + +Their mom is surprised and annoyed. She tells them they are being naughty and selfish. She says they have to share their toys with other kids who do not have any. She says they have to learn to let go of things they do not need. + +Ben and Mia are confused and sad. They do not understand why their mom wants to sell their toys. They do not think they have too many toys. They think their toys are special and they need them. They do not want to share them with strangers. They start to cry and beg their mom to let them keep their toys. + +Their mom sees their tears and hears their pleas. She feels sorry for them and remembers how much she loved her toys when she was a kid. She decides to let them keep some of their toys, but not all of them. She tells them they can choose three toys each to keep, and the rest they have to sell. She says they can use the money to buy something new or to help someone in need. + +Ben and Mia are relieved and happy. They thank their mom and hug her. They look at their toys and try to decide which ones to keep and which ones to sell. They pick their favorite ones and put them in a small bag. They say goodbye to the other ones and put them back in the box. They hope they will find a good home with other kids who will love them and play with them. They walk back to their house with their mom, holding their toys and smiling. +Sam and Mia like to help Mom bake. Mom gives them a big bowl of dough and a mixer. The mixer has two hooks that spin and make the dough smooth and soft. + +"Can I use the mixer, Mom?" Sam asks. + +"Sure, Sam, but be careful. The mixer is fast and loud. Hold it with both hands and don't touch the hooks. They can hurt you," Mom says. + +Sam nods and takes the mixer. He turns it on and pushes it into the dough. The mixer makes a whirring noise and the dough moves around. Sam smiles and feels the dough get warm and sticky. + +"Mia, do you want to try?" Sam asks. + +"Yes, please!" Mia says. She reaches for the mixer, but Sam pulls it away. + +"No, Mia, it's my turn. You can roll the dough later," Sam says. + +Mia frowns and crosses her arms. She wants to use the mixer too. She thinks Sam is not nice. + +"Sam, share the mixer with Mia. She is your sister and she wants to help too," Mom says. + +"But Mom, I like the mixer. It's fun and cool," Sam says. + +"I know, Sam, but the mixer is not a toy. It's a tool. We use it to make the dough ready for the oven. Mia can use it for a little while, and then you can roll the dough with her. Rolling the dough is fun and cool too," Mom says. + +Sam sighs and gives the mixer to Mia. Mia takes it and turns it on. She holds it with both hands and pushes it into the dough. The mixer makes a whirring noise and the dough moves around. Mia smiles and feels the dough get warm and sticky. + +"Thank you, Sam. The mixer is fun and cool," Mia says. + +"You're welcome, Mia. Can I roll the dough with you now?" Sam asks. + +"Sure, Sam. Let's roll the dough together," Mia says. + +They turn off the mixer and put it on the table. Mom gives them a rolling pin and some flour. They sprinkle some flour on the dough and the rolling pin. They roll the dough flat and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. They make stars, hearts, circles, and squares.

They will be yummy and sweet," Mom says. + +Sam and Mia hug Mom and thank her. They are happy and proud. They like to help Mom bake. They like to use the mixer and roll the dough. They are careful and safe. They are good siblings and friends. +Tom and Lily liked to play with rocks. They had many rocks of different colors and shapes. They liked to polish their rocks with a cloth and make them shiny. They kept their rocks in a big box in their room. + +One day, Tom and Lily wanted to polish their rocks together. They took out their box and opened it. But they saw that their rocks were all mixed up and messy. Some rocks were dirty, some rocks were broken, and some rocks were missing. + +"Who did this to our rocks?" Tom asked. He was angry and sad. + +"I don't know," Lily said. She was also angry and sad. "Maybe it was Max, our dog. He likes to chew on things." + +They looked around and saw Max sleeping on the bed. He had a rock in his mouth. It was one of Tom's favorite rocks. It was blue and smooth. + +"Max, bad dog!" Tom shouted. He ran to the bed and tried to take the rock from Max. But Max growled and bit Tom's hand. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. He let go of the rock and held his hand. + +Lily ran to Tom and hugged him. She said, "Are you okay, Tom? Let me see your hand." + +She looked at Tom's hand and saw a small cut. She said, "It's not too bad, Tom. But we need to clean it and put a band-aid on it." + +She took Tom to the bathroom and washed his hand. She found a band-aid and put it on his cut. She said, "There, now it's better. Don't worry, Tom. We can still polish our rocks. But we need to find a new place to keep them. A place where Max can't reach them." + +Tom nodded and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I'm sorry I shouted at Max. He didn't know he was hurting our rocks. He just wanted to play." + +Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, Tom. You are a good brother. I'm sorry I blamed Max. He is a good dog. He just needs to learn what he can and can't chew." + +They hugged each other and went back to their room. They picked up their rocks and sorted them. They polished their rocks with a cloth and made them shiny. They found a new box with a lid and put their rocks in it. They put the box on a high shelf where Max couldn't reach it. They were happy and proud of their rocks. They decided to show them to their mom and dad later. They also decided to give Max a treat and a toy to play with. They loved their rocks, but they loved their dog and each other more. +Lily and Sam went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things at the beach: shells, crabs, birds, and boats. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big shell!" Sam said. He held up a shiny shell that was pink and white. "Can I keep it?" + +"Sure, Sam, it's very pretty," Lily said. She found a small shell that was blue and green. "Can I keep this one?" + +"Yes, Lily, you can keep it too," Sam said. They put their shells in a bucket and ran to show Mom and Dad. + +Mom and Dad smiled and said they liked their shells. They said it was time to eat. They had brought sandwiches, fruit, and cookies for lunch. They also had a bottle of hot sauce that Mom and Dad liked to put on their sandwiches. + +"Can I try some hot sauce?" Sam asked. He was curious about the red liquid. + +"Be careful, Sam, it's very spicy," Mom said. "It might make your mouth burn." + +"I don't mind, I want to try it," Sam said. He took the bottle and poured some hot sauce on his sandwich. He took a big bite and then he made a funny face. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam said. He felt like his mouth was on fire. He dropped his sandwich and ran to the water. He tried to drink some water to cool down his mouth, but it was salty and made him cough. + +Lily laughed and said, "I told you it was spicy, Sam. You should have listened to Mom." + +Sam came back from the water and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I won't try hot sauce again. It's too spicy for me." + +Mom gave him a hug and said, "It's okay, Sam. You were brave to try something new. But next time, maybe you should ask for a little bit first." + +Sam nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. Can I have a cookie instead?" + +Mom gave him a cookie and said, "Sure, Sam. Here you go. And here's some juice to wash it down." + +Sam ate his cookie and drank his juice. He felt better and said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you." + +"I love you too, Sam," Mom said. "And I love you, Lily." + +"I love you, Mom," Lily said. "And I love you, Sam." + +They all hugged and said they loved each other. They enjoyed their lunch and their day at the beach. They had fun and learned something new. They were a happy family. +Lily and Max were twins. They liked to play together, but sometimes they wanted different things. One day, they went to the park with their mom. They saw a big bus with many colors and pictures on it. It was a fun bus. + +"Mom, can we go on the fun bus?" Lily asked. She liked the fun bus. It had slides and swings and toys inside. + +"Maybe later, sweetie. We have to go to the store first," Mom said. + +Max did not like the fun bus. He thought it was too loud and too crowded. He wanted to go to the store and buy a new car. He had a lot of cars, but he wanted more. + +"No, Lily. We don't want to go on the fun bus. We want to go to the store," Max said. He was stubborn. He did not listen to Lily or Mom. + +"Yes, we do, Max. The fun bus is fun. The store is boring," Lily said. She was stubborn too. She did not listen to Max or Mom. + +They started to argue. They raised their voices and pulled their mom's arms. Mom was tired and annoyed. She did not like when they fought. + +"Stop it, both of you. You are being rude and selfish. You have to learn to share and compromise. Sometimes you get what you want, and sometimes you don't. That's life," Mom said. She was firm and fair. + +She made a plan. She said they could go to the store first and buy one thing each. Then they could go on the fun bus for a little while. But they had to be nice and polite and take turns. + +Lily and Max thought about it. They did not like the plan at first, but they knew Mom was right. They said sorry to each other and to Mom. They agreed to the plan. They hugged and smiled. + +They went to the store and bought a car for Max and a doll for Lily. Then they went on the fun bus and had fun. They slid and swung and played with their toys. They also made some new friends. They thanked Mom for taking them to the park. They learned a lesson. They were happy. +Ben liked to play with his toy camera. He liked to record things he saw and heard. He recorded his mom singing, his dad reading, and his dog barking.

He wanted to record it. + +He ran outside with his toy camera. He followed the ambulance down the street. He did not see the cars and bikes and people. He did not hear his mom calling him. + +"Ben, come back! It's dangerous!" his mom shouted. + +But Ben did not listen. He wanted to record the ambulance. He wanted to see where it was going. He thought it was going to a hospital. He wanted to see the hospital. + +He ran and ran until he reached a big building. He saw a sign that said "Hospital". He saw people in white clothes. He saw more ambulances. He saw a lot of things he wanted to record. + +He went inside the building. He looked around with his toy camera. He saw a lot of doors and rooms and machines. He saw people who were sick and hurt. He saw people who were sad and scared. He did not like what he saw. + +He wanted to go back to his mom. He wanted to go back to his home. He wanted to stop recording. He felt sorry for the people in the hospital. + +He tried to find the way out. He got lost. He did not know where to go. He started to cry. + +"Hey, little boy, what are you doing here?" a voice asked. + +Ben looked up. He saw a man in a white coat. He had a badge that said "Doctor". He had a kind smile. + +"I'm sorry, I was recording the ambulance. I wanted to see the hospital. But I don't like it here. I want to go back to my mom. Can you help me?" Ben said. + +"Of course, I can help you. Don't worry, we'll find your mom. But you shouldn't run after ambulances. It's very dangerous. You could get hurt or lost. You should always stay with your mom or dad. Do you understand?" the doctor said. + +"Yes, I understand. I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Thank you for helping me." Ben said. + +The doctor took Ben by the hand. He led him to the front desk. He asked the lady there to call Ben's mom. He gave Ben a sticker that said "Brave".

They are eager to make their blocks higher and longer. They do not notice the vase on the table. They do not see how close their blocks are to it. + +Suddenly, Ben pushes his block too hard. It falls off the bridge and hits the vase. The vase wobbles and tips over. It falls to the floor and breaks into many pieces. Anna and Ben hear a loud crash. They look at the vase.

Maybe someone will come and take it away." + +They run to the box and lift the lid. They are very lucky. The box is full of cookies and juice. They smile and clap their hands. + +"Wow! This is the best surprise ever!" Anna says. "Who do you think gave it to us?" + +"I don't know. Maybe a fairy or a nice person." Ben says. "Let's eat some. They look yummy." + +They sit down and start to eat the cookies and drink the juice. They do not see the man who is hiding behind the tree. He is not a fairy or a nice person. He is a bad man.

She thought it was very funny. + +But her mother did not think it was funny. She came outside and saw Lily covered in mud. She was very angry. + +"Lily, what have you done?" she asked. "You are so careless! You have to wash up right now or you will not get any dinner!" + +Lily did not want to miss dinner. She liked to eat. She followed her mother inside and went to the bathroom. Her mother turned on the water and gave her a soap and a towel. + +"Scrub, scrub, scrub!" her mother said. "You have to wash all the mud off. It is dirty and bad for you." + +Lily did not like to scrub. It hurt her skin and made her eyes sting. She cried and complained. + +"I don't want to wash, I want to play!" she said. "Washing is boring and hard!" + +Her mother did not listen. She helped Lily wash her hands and face and hair. She rinsed off the soap and dried her with the towel. + +"There, now you are clean and pretty," her mother said. "But you have to be more careful next time. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She did not want to make her mother angry again. She said she was sorry and gave her a hug. + +"I love you, mommy," she said. + +"I love you too, Lily," her mother said. "Now let's go have dinner." +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a big stick that looked like a sword. They both wanted to have it, but they did not want to share. + +"I saw it first!" Lily said. "It is mine!" + +"No, it is mine!" Max said. "I am stronger!" + +They started to pull the stick from each other, but it was very hard. They did not notice that a dog was watching them from behind a tree. The dog liked sticks too, and he wanted to have some fun. + +The dog ran towards Lily and Max and barked loudly. He jumped on them and snatched the stick from their hands. He ran away with it, wagging his tail. + +Lily and Max were very surprised and scared. They let go of the stick and fell on the ground. They looked at each other and felt very silly. They realized that they had been selfish and rude. They had not listened to each other or tried to take turns. They had not enjoyed the stick at all, and now they had lost it. + +They got up and hugged each other. They said they were sorry and that they loved each other. They decided to play something else together, something that did not need a stick. They learned that sharing is better than fighting, and that being kind is more fun than being selfish. + +The dog watched them from a distance and smiled. He had taught them a lesson, and he had a new toy. He was happy. He did not feel embarrassed, because he did not know what that word meant. He just liked sticks. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the yard. They had a big pile of leaves to jump in. They laughed and threw leaves at each other. They were having fun. + +But then Mom came out. She was not happy. She saw the leaves all over the yard. She saw Ben and Lily with dirty clothes and faces. She said, "You two made a big mess. You need to clean it up. Here, take this rake and put the leaves in the bag." + +Ben and Lily did not want to clean up. They wanted to play more. They said, "But Mom, we were having fun. Can we play a little longer?" Mom said, "No, you have to clean up now. It is almost time for dinner. And you need to wash up too. You are very dirty." + +Ben and Lily sighed. They took the rake and started to put the leaves in the bag. It was hard work. They did not like it. They wished they could play more. But they knew they had to listen to Mom. They hoped they could play again tomorrow. + +They worked until the pile of leaves was gone. They put the rake and the bag away. They went inside to wash up. Mom smiled and said, "Good job, Ben and Lily. You cleaned up the yard very well. I am proud of you. Now you can have dinner. And maybe after dinner, we can read a story together." + +Ben and Lily smiled too. They were hungry and tired. They liked stories. They said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." They hugged Mom and went to the table. They had a good dinner. And they had a good story. They were happy. The end. +Lila and Ben liked to play on the beach. They liked to gather shells and rocks and make shapes in the sand. One day, they saw a big sail on the water. It was white and shiny and had a flag with a star on it. + +"Wow, look at that sail!" Lila said. "It must belong to a wealthy person. Maybe they have a lot of toys and candy on their boat." + +"Maybe they do," Ben said. "Do you think they would share with us?" + +Lila and Ben decided to wave at the sail and shout hello. They hoped the wealthy person would see them and come to the shore. They waited and waited, but the sail did not come closer. It went farther and farther away, until it was a tiny dot on the horizon. + +Lila and Ben felt sad and disappointed. They wondered why the wealthy person did not want to be their friend. They went back to their shells and rocks and tried to have fun, but they were not as happy as before. + +The next day, Lila and Ben went to the beach again. They were surprised to see a lot of people and cars and trucks there. They saw some men wearing uniforms and badges and carrying big guns. They also saw some men wearing masks and handcuffs and looking scared. + +"What is going on?" Lila asked. + +One of the uniformed men heard her and came over. He smiled and knelt down to their level. + +"Hello, kids. Do you remember the sail you saw yesterday?" he asked. + +Lila and Ben nodded. + +"Well, that sail belonged to a very bad person. He was not wealthy, he was a thief. He stole a lot of money and jewels from a bank and tried to escape on his boat. But we caught him and his friends. We followed them on our own boat and radioed for help. Now they are going to jail and we are going to return the money and jewels to the bank." + +Lila and Ben gasped. They could not believe it. The sail they admired was a sail of a criminal. They felt glad that the bad person was caught and that the good people were safe. + +"Wow, you are very brave and smart," Lila said. + +"Thank you," the uniformed man said. "You are very kind and curious. Do you want to see the money and jewels we found on the boat?" + +Lila and Ben nodded eagerly. The uniformed man led them to a truck where there were many bags and boxes full of shiny things. He opened one of them and showed them some gold coins and sparkling necklaces. + +"Look at these," he said. "They are very pretty, but they are not as important as being honest and good. Remember that, kids. Money and jewels can make you happy for a while, but they can also make you greedy and mean. The best things in life are not things, they are friends and family and love." + +Lila and Ben smiled and hugged the uniformed man. They thanked him for showing them the money and jewels and for teaching them a lesson. They realized that they did not need to be wealthy to be happy. They had each other and they had fun. They went back to their shells and rocks and made shapes in the sand. They were happy again. +Lily was a shy girl who liked to draw in her notebook. She had many colors and shapes in her notebook, but she did not show them to anyone. She was afraid that they would laugh at her or take her notebook away. + +One day, a new boy came to her class. His name was Sam and he had curly hair and big eyes. He sat next to Lily and smiled at her. Lily felt nervous and looked down at her notebook. + +"Hi, I'm Sam. What are you drawing?" he asked. + +Lily did not answer. She held her notebook close to her chest and hoped he would go away. + +"Can I see your notebook? I like to draw too. Maybe we can draw together," he said. + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to share her notebook with anyone, especially a stranger. + +Sam did not give up. He took out his own notebook and showed it to Lily. It had many pictures of animals and cars and stars. He pointed to a picture of a lion and said, "This is my favorite. I want to be a lion when I grow up. What do you want to be?" + +Lily looked at his notebook and felt curious. She liked his pictures. They were bright and fun. She peeked at her own notebook and saw a picture of a flower. She wanted to be a flower when she grew up. A flower that could grow anywhere and make people happy. + +She looked at Sam and saw that he was still smiling. He did not seem mean or scary. He seemed nice and friendly. Maybe he would not laugh at her or take her notebook away. Maybe he would like her pictures and her dreams. + +She took a deep breath and opened her notebook. She showed him her picture of a flower and said, "This is my favorite. I want to be a flower when I grow up." + +Sam's eyes widened and he clapped his hands. "Wow, that's a beautiful flower. I like it. You are a good drawer. Can I draw a flower too?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She felt happy and brave. She gave him a color and said, "Yes, you can. Here, you can use this." + +They drew flowers together in their notebooks. They talked and laughed and became friends. Lily was not shy anymore. She had someone who liked her and her notebook. She had someone who could lead her to new adventures. +Lily liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She would take them from the closet and put them on. She felt like a princess or a fairy. But she did not like to put the clothes back on the hangers. She would leave them on the floor or on the bed. + +One day, mom was very busy. She had to cook and clean and talk on the phone. She did not notice that Lily was playing dress-up again. Lily took a lot of clothes from the closet and tried them on. She found a shiny dress that was very pretty. She wanted to keep it for herself. She thought mom would not miss it. She put it in a hidden place under her bed. + +When mom finished her work, she went to the closet. She wanted to wear the shiny dress for a special dinner. But she could not find it. She looked everywhere. She asked Lily if she had seen it. Lily said no. She lied. She felt bad, but she did not want to give up the dress. + +Mom was very sad. She had to wear another dress that was not as pretty. She wondered what happened to the shiny dress. Did it disappear? Did someone take it? She wished she could find it. + +That night, Lily could not sleep. She felt guilty. She knew she did something wrong. She did not like to see mom sad. She did not like to lie. She decided to tell the truth. She got up and took the dress from under her bed. She went to mom's room and knocked on the door. + +Mom opened the door and saw Lily holding the dress. She was surprised and happy. She hugged Lily and thanked her. She asked her why she took the dress. Lily said she was sorry. She said she liked the dress and wanted to keep it. But she realized it was not hers. She said she learned a lesson. She said she would not take things that belong to others. She said she would put the clothes back on the hangers after playing dress-up. + +Mom was proud of Lily. She said she forgave her. She said she was glad she told the truth. She said she loved her. She said she could wear the dress sometimes, but only with her permission. She said she would teach her how to take care of the clothes. She said they could play dress-up together. + +Lily smiled. She felt happy. She gave the dress to mom and hugged her. She said she loved her too. She said she would be a good girl. She said she was sorry for making the dress disappear. She said she would make it reappear on the hanger. +Tom and Lily wanted to go to the theater with their mom. They liked to watch funny people and animals on the big screen. Mom said they could go if they ate their lunch first. But Tom and Lily did not like their lunch. It was green and slimy and smelled bad. + +"Yuck, I don't want to eat this!" Tom said, pushing his plate away. + +"Me neither!" Lily said, making a face. + +Mom was not happy. She said they had to eat their lunch or they could not go to the theater. She said it was good for them and it would make them strong and healthy. + +But Tom and Lily refused to eat their lunch. They said they were not hungry and they only wanted to go to the theater. They cried and whined and stomped their feet. + +Mom said they had to stay home then. She said they could not go to the theater if they did not listen to her. She said they had to learn to eat what they were given and to be polite and grateful. + +Tom and Lily were very sad and angry. They missed the theater and the funny people and animals. They wished they had eaten their lunch. They looked at their plates and saw that their lunch was not so bad after all. It was just peas and carrots and fish. They liked peas and carrots and fish. They were blue that they had refused to eat their lunch. They said they were sorry to mom and asked if they could go to the theater next time. + +Mom hugged them and said she forgave them. She said they could go to the theater next time if they ate their lunch first. She said she loved them and wanted them to be happy and healthy. Tom and Lily said they loved her too and they would eat their lunch next time. They learned their lesson and they never refused to eat their lunch again. +One day, Anna and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw a big train with a lot of smoke coming out of it. The smoke was hot and wet. It was called steam. + +"Can we ride the train, mom?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, but you have to be careful and listen to the conductor. He will tell you when to get on and off the train. He is very nice and compassionate. He likes children and he knows a lot about trains. Do you trust him?" mom said. + +"Yes, mom, we trust him. He has a funny hat and a whistle. He smiles a lot." Ben said. + +They waited in line and then got on the train. The conductor checked their tickets and gave them a sticker. He said, "Welcome to the park train. I hope you enjoy the ride. Please stay in your seats and do not lean out of the windows. The train will go around the park and show you some animals and flowers. If you have any questions, you can ask me. I am here to help you." + +The train started to move and the steam made a loud sound. Anna and Ben looked out of the windows and saw ducks, rabbits, roses, and sunflowers. They waved to the people and the animals. They felt happy and excited. + +"Wow, this is so fun. I love the train. Thank you, mom. Thank you, conductor." Anna said. + +"You're welcome, Anna. I'm glad you like it. The train is my favorite too. It is very old and special. It needs a lot of care and love. That's why I always check the steam and the wheels and the brakes. I want to make sure the train is safe and happy." the conductor said. + +The train stopped at the station and the conductor said, "This is the end of the ride. I hope you had a good time. Please get off the train and have a nice day. Come back soon." + +Anna and Ben got off the train and hugged the conductor. They said, "Thank you, conductor. You are very compassionate. We trust you. We will come back soon." + +They walked back to their mom and told her everything they saw and heard on the train. They said they wanted to ride the train again. Mom smiled and said, "Maybe next time. Now let's go home and have some lunch. You must be hungry after such a big adventure." +Lily liked to design things with her crayons and paper. She made lovely pictures of flowers, animals and people. She was very proud of her designs and showed them to her mom and dad. + +One day, Lily's brother Tom came into her room. He was bored and wanted to play. He saw Lily's designs on the floor and said, "What are these? They look silly. Can I have them?" + +Lily said, "No, Tom. These are my designs. I worked hard on them. They are not silly. They are lovely. Please leave them alone." + +But Tom did not listen. He grabbed some of Lily's designs and tore them up. He made a big mess and a big wreck. He laughed and said, "Now they look funnier. You should thank me." + +Lily was very sad and angry. She cried and said, "Tom, you are mean. You ruined my designs. You did not ask me. You did not respect me. You hurt my feelings. You should say sorry." + +Mom heard the noise and came into the room. She saw the wreck and Lily's tears. She said, "Tom, what did you do? Why did you destroy Lily's designs? That was not nice. That was not fair. That was not kind." + +Tom felt ashamed. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Mom. I was bored and I wanted to play. I did not think about how Lily felt. I did not care about her designs. I was selfish and rude. I will not do it again." + +Mom said, "Tom, I'm glad you are sorry. But sorry is not enough. You need to make it up to Lily. You need to help her clean up the mess. You need to make her a new design. You need to be a good brother." + +Tom agreed. He helped Lily clean up the wreck. He took some crayons and paper and made her a new design. He drew a heart and wrote, "I love you, Lily. You are a great designer. I am sorry for what I did." + +Lily smiled and hugged Tom. She said, "Thank you, Tom. I love you too. You are a good brother. I forgive you for what you did." + +Mom smiled and hugged them both. She said, "I'm proud of you, Tom and Lily. You learned a lesson today. You learned to respect each other's work and feelings. You learned to say sorry and to make it up. You learned to love and to forgive. That is what makes a lovely family." +Sara liked to play with her beans. She had many beans of different colors and shapes. She put them in a bowl and made them talk to each other. She gave them names and stories. + +One day, she took her beans outside to play in the garden. She put them on a big leaf and pretended it was a boat. She made the beans sail on the water in the pond. She had fun watching them splash and float. + +But then, a big wind came and blew the leaf away. Sara ran after it, but it was too fast. She saw the leaf and the beans go over the fence and into the street. She was sad and scared. She had lost her beans. + +She ran back to the house and told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and said it was okay. She said they could go to the store and buy more beans. She said maybe someone would find her beans and take care of them. + +Sara felt a little better, but she still missed her beans. She hoped they were not smelly or dirty. She hoped they were happy and safe. She hoped they would remember her and their stories. She said goodbye to her beans in her heart. +Ben and Lily are friends who go to the same school. They like to draw and color pictures in their folders. One day, their teacher tells them to pass their folders to the front of the class. She wants to see their work and give them stickers. + +Ben is happy because he has drawn a big dinosaur with green and purple crayons. He thinks his dinosaur is the best. He passes his folder to the teacher with a smile. Lily is not happy because she has drawn a small flower with yellow and pink crayons. She thinks her flower is not good enough. She passes her folder to the teacher with a frown. + +The teacher looks at Ben's and Lily's folders. She says, "Wow, Ben, your dinosaur is very impressive! You have used many colors and details. You get a gold star sticker!" She puts a shiny sticker on Ben's folder. Ben feels proud and shows his sticker to Lily. Lily feels envious and wishes she had a gold star sticker too. + +The teacher looks at Lily's folder. She says, "Wow, Lily, your flower is very beautiful! You have used soft and bright colors. You get a heart sticker!" She puts a pink sticker on Lily's folder. Lily feels surprised and happy. She likes hearts more than stars. She shows her sticker to Ben. Ben feels curious and wonders how Lily made her flower. + +The teacher says, "Good job, Ben and Lily! You both have done very well. You have different styles and talents. You can learn from each other and share your ideas. Now, pass your folders back to each other and say something nice about your friend's work." + +Ben passes his folder to Lily and says, "Your flower is very pretty. I like how you made the petals and the stem. How did you do that?" Lily passes her folder to Ben and says, "Your dinosaur is very cool. I like how you made the teeth and the spikes. How did you do that?" Ben and Lily smile and thank each other. They feel happy and proud. They decide to draw more pictures together and use different colors and shapes. They are good friends who help and admire each other. +Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a camera in the grass. It was big and shiny and had a button. Tim wanted to press the button, but Lily said no. She said they should ask Mom first. + +They ran to the house with the camera. Mom was in the kitchen, making juice. She saw the camera and smiled. She said it was Dad's camera, and he used it to take pictures of animals. She said they could play with it, but they had to be careful and not break it. + +Tim and Lily thanked Mom and drank some juice. Then they went back outside with the camera. They pretended to be animal explorers, and took pictures of birds, bugs, and flowers. They had a lot of fun, until they saw a big, furry thing in the bushes. It looked like a bear, but it had a long tail and stripes. It was a tiger! + +Tim and Lily were scared, but they also wanted to take a picture of the tiger. They thought it would be a great surprise for Dad. They crept closer to the bushes, holding the camera. They hoped the tiger would not see them or hear them. They were very quiet and brave. + +But the tiger was not a real tiger. It was a toy tiger that someone had left in the bushes. It had a battery inside, and a switch. When Tim and Lily got close enough, the switch turned on, and the toy tiger made a loud roar. It also moved its head and paws, and opened its mouth. + +Tim and Lily screamed and dropped the camera. They ran away as fast as they could, thinking the tiger was chasing them. They did not see that the camera had taken a picture of the toy tiger, with its crazy eyes and teeth. + +When they got to the house, they told Mom what happened. Mom hugged them and said they were safe. She said there were no real tigers in the park, only toy ones. She said someone must have played a trick on them. She said they should go back and get the camera, and see if it was okay. + +Tim and Lily agreed, but they were still a little scared. They held Mom's hand and walked back to the bushes. They saw the camera on the ground, and the toy tiger next to it. They realized it was not a real tiger, and felt silly. They picked up the camera and looked at the screen. They saw the picture of the toy tiger, and laughed. It was a funny picture, and they were glad they had taken it. They decided to show it to Dad when he came home, and tell him their crazy story. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find bugs and flowers. They had a big box where they kept their treasures. The box had a lock and a key. + +One day, Lily wanted to show Max a shiny stone she had found. She ran to the box and tried to unlock it. But the key was not there. She looked around and saw the key on the grass. A bird had taken it and dropped it. + +"Max, Max, come here!" she shouted. "The bird took our key!" + +Max came running and saw the key. He picked it up and gave it to Lily. "Here you go, Lily. Now you can unlock the box." + +Lily smiled and thanked Max. She put the key in the lock and turned it. The box opened and they saw their treasures. Lily took out the shiny stone and showed it to Max. + +"Wow, Lily, that's a pretty stone. Where did you find it?" Max asked. + +"I found it under a big tree. It was shining in the sun. Do you like it?" Lily asked. + +Max nodded. "I like it very much. It's a nice treasure. Can I hold it?" + +Lily nodded. "Sure, Max. You can hold it. But be careful. Don't drop it." + +Max took the stone and held it in his hand. He felt its smoothness and weight. He looked at its colors and sparkles. He liked it a lot. + +"Lily, this is a very good stone. I think it's the best treasure in the box. What do you think?" Max asked. + +Lily thought for a moment. She looked at the other treasures in the box. She saw shells, feathers, buttons, and coins. She liked them all. But she liked the stone the most. + +"I think you're right, Max. This is the best treasure in the box. It's my favorite. But I'm happy to share it with you. You're my best friend." Lily said. + +Max smiled. "You're my best friend too, Lily. Thank you for sharing your stone with me. It's very kind of you." + +They hugged and put the stone back in the box. They locked the box and hid the key under a flower pot. They went back to playing in the garden. They were happy and had the same opinion. The stone was the best treasure in the box. +Anna and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells and rocks. Sometimes they saw crabs and fish in the water. + +"Look, Anna, I found an oyster!" Ben said, holding a big shell in his hand. "Do you think there is a pearl inside?" + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe we can open it and see," Anna said. She was curious about the oyster. She had never seen one before. + +They took the oyster to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a blanket. "Can we open this, please?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Oysters can be sharp and hard to open," their dad said. He took a knife and gently pried the shell apart. Inside, there was a shiny white pearl. + +"Wow, that's amazing!" Anna and Ben exclaimed. They were very happy and surprised. They had found a treasure. + +"Can we keep it, please?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, you can. It's a very special find. You can make a necklace or a bracelet with it," their mom said. She helped them wrap the pearl in a tissue and put it in their bag. + +Anna and Ben thanked their mom and dad and hugged them. They were very proud of their oyster. They decided to name it Pearl. + +They played some more at the beach, then they ate some sandwiches and fruit. They were tired and sleepy after a long day. They lay down on the blanket and closed their eyes. + +"Good night, Pearl," Anna whispered. + +"Good night, Pearl," Ben whispered. + +They fell asleep, dreaming of oysters and pearls. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with colorful leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +"Let's spring up the tree!" Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful!" Tom said. + +They jumped and grabbed the branches and climbed higher and higher. They felt happy and free. They saw birds and clouds and flowers. + +But then, they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, you two! Get down from there!" It was the park keeper. He was angry. He said the tree was old and weak and could break. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not want to fall or hurt the tree. They climbed down quickly and said sorry to the park keeper. + +He gave them a note. It said: "Trees are living things. They need care and respect. Do not climb on them or pull their leaves. They give us shade and air and beauty." + +Lily and Tom felt bad. They learned their lesson. They thanked the park keeper and promised to be kind to the trees. + +They decided to play with a ball instead. They threw and caught the ball and had fun. They still liked the tree, but they did not climb it anymore. They looked at its colorful leaves and smiled. +Ben and Mia liked to play with their toy boat. They had a big tub of water in the garden, and they pretended it was the sea. They put their boat in the water and made it sail with a stick. They had fun making waves and noises. + +One day, Ben was sick. He had a fever and a sore throat. Mom put a thermometer in his mouth and told him to stay in bed. Ben was sad and bored. He wanted to play with Mia and the boat. + +Mia came to visit him in his room. She brought the boat with her. She said, "Look, Ben, I have the boat. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben smiled and nodded. He took the thermometer out of his mouth and said, "Yes, please. I want to play with the boat. Can we sail it on the bed?" + +Mia said, "Sure, we can. But we have to be careful. We don't want to spill water on the bed or the floor. Mom will be angry." + +They filled a small bowl with water and put it on the bed. They put the boat in the bowl and made it sail with their fingers. They had fun making stories and sounds. + +Mom came to check on Ben. She saw them playing with the boat. She said, "What are you doing, kids? You are making a mess. And Ben, you should have the thermometer in your mouth. You are still sick." + +Ben and Mia looked at Mom. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We were just playing. We were bored. We wanted to sail the boat." + +Mom said, "I understand. But you have to be patient, Ben. You will get better soon. And you have to keep the thermometer in your mouth. It will tell me how hot you are. And you have to keep the water in the bowl. It will keep the boat afloat. OK?" + +Ben and Mia said, "OK, Mom. We will be good. We will be patient. We will keep the thermometer and the water. Can we still play with the boat?" + +Mom said, "Yes, you can. But only for a little while. Then you have to rest, Ben. And you have to share, Mia. The boat is for both of you. OK?" + +Ben and Mia said, "OK, Mom. Thank you. We love you. And we love the boat." +Tom and Anna were very hungry. They wanted to eat steak for dinner. Mom said steak was too big and too hard for them. She said they could have soup and bread instead. + +But Tom and Anna did not like soup and bread. They wanted steak. They saw a big steak on the counter. It was for Dad. He was not home yet. Tom had an idea. He whispered to Anna. + +"Let's take the steak and run away. We can eat it in the park. Mom will not see us." + +Anna nodded. She liked the idea. They grabbed the steak and ran out of the door. They did not see the dog. The dog saw the steak. He wanted it too. He chased Tom and Anna. + +Tom and Anna were scared. They ran faster. They saw a big slide in the park. They climbed up the slide. They hoped the dog would not follow them. They sat on the top of the slide. They tried to eat the steak. But it was too big and too hard. They could not bite it. They could not cut it. They could only twist it. + +The dog barked at them. He jumped on the slide. He slid up to them. He snatched the steak from their hands. He ran away with it. He was happy. He liked steak. + +Tom and Anna were sad. They lost the steak. They were still hungry. They were also dirty. They had steak juice on their clothes. They heard Mom calling them. She sounded angry. They slid down the slide. They walked back to the house. They were sorry. + +Mom saw them. She was not happy. She asked them what they did. They told her the truth. They said they were sorry. They said they were hungry. They said they wanted steak. + +Mom sighed. She was not angry anymore. She was generous. She said they could have some steak. But only a little bit. And only after they ate their soup and bread. And only after they washed their hands and faces. And only after they said sorry to Dad. + +Tom and Anna nodded. They agreed. They ate their soup and bread. They washed their hands and faces.

She put the bunny in the middle of the case, next to a blue car and a yellow ball. She was very proud of her case and showed it to everyone who came to her room. + +One day, her cousin Max came to visit. He was older than Lily and liked to play rough. He saw Lily's case and said, "What is this? These toys are boring. Let me show you some fun toys." He grabbed the case and opened it. He took out the pink bunny and threw it on the floor. He said, "This is not a toy, this is a baby thing. You need a real toy, like this." He took out a green dinosaur and made a loud roar. + +Lily was very sad and angry. She loved her pink bunny and did not like Max's dinosaur. She ran to the floor and picked up her bunny. She hugged it and said, "No, no, no. This is my toy. I like my toy. You are mean, Max. Go away, go away, go away." She cried and ran to her mom. + +Mom heard Lily's cry and came to her room. She saw the mess and Max's dinosaur. She said, "What happened here? Max, did you do this?" Max looked guilty and said, "I was just trying to play with Lily. I did not mean to make her cry." Mom said, "Well, you did not play nicely. You hurt Lily's feelings and her toy. You need to say sorry and help her fix her case." + +Max said sorry to Lily and helped her put her toys back in the case. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not know you liked your bunny so much. Can I play with you and your toys?" Lily said, "Yes, you can. But you have to be gentle and kind. And you have to ask me first." Max said, "OK, I will. Can I play with your blue car?" Lily said, "Yes, you can. Here you go." They played with the car and the ball and the dinosaur. They did not play with the bunny, because Lily kept it close to her. She smiled and felt peaceful. She was happy that Max was nice to her and her toys. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. But they do not like to clean their room.

Lily and Tom were very happy and decided to keep it as a pet. They put it in a glass jar with some leaves and water and gave it a name: Sparky. + +They took Sparky to their room and put him on their table. They wanted to show him to their mom and dad later. They felt very lucky to have such a special bug. + +But they did not know that their cat, Fluffy, was very nosy. Fluffy liked to explore the house and sniff everything. She saw the jar on the table and jumped on it. She wanted to see what was inside. She pushed the jar with her paw and made it roll off the table. It fell on the floor and broke. Sparky crawled out of the jar and ran away. + +Lily and Tom heard the noise and ran to their room. They saw the broken jar and the empty spot where Sparky was. They felt very sad and worried.

The dog suggested asking the monkey for help. The monkey was able to open the bottle easily. + +The moral of the story is that it's important to ask for help when you need it.
