She asked her mom, "Can we have the strawberries now, please?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. I know how much you love them." Lily was so happy and ate the strawberries with a big smile on her face. From that day on, Lily knew that sometimes you have to wait for the things you need, but it's always worth it in the end. +Once upon a time, there was a happy boy named Timmy. He loved listening to cheerful music and dancing around his room. One day, he heard a loud noise coming from his neighbor's house. It sounded like someone was crying. + +Timmy went next door and knocked on the door. An old lady answered and Timmy asked, "Are you okay? I heard a noise and I wanted to question if you needed help." The old lady smiled and said, "No, I'm fine. Thank you for asking." + +Timmy went back home and continued listening to his music. But he couldn't stop thinking about the old lady. He wondered if she was really okay. So, he went back to her house and knocked on the door again. This time, there was no answer. + +Timmy opened the door and found the old lady lying on the floor. She had fallen and hurt herself. Timmy quickly called for help, but it was too late. The old lady had passed away. Timmy was sad and didn't understand why bad things happen to good people. +Tim and Sam are young brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Tim wants to go on the slide, but Sam is scared. + +"Come on, Sam, it is fun!" Tim says. "You are brave, you can do it!" + +But Sam shakes his head. He does not want to get hurt. He sees some kids fall and cry. He thinks the slide is too high and fast. + +Tim goes on the slide by himself. He slides down fast and laughs. He feels happy and proud. He wants Sam to feel the same. + +"Look, Sam, I did it!" Tim says. "It is not scary, it is fun! You can do it too!" + +He runs up the slide again. He wants to show Sam how to slide. But he does not see a big boy behind him. The big boy pushes Tim and makes him fall. Tim hits his head and cries. + +Sam hears Tim cry. He feels sad and angry. He forgets his fear. He runs to the slide. He sees the big boy laugh at Tim. He does not like the big boy. He wants to help Tim. + +"Stop it, you are mean!" Sam says. "Leave my brother alone!" + +He pushes the big boy away. He helps Tim get up. He hugs Tim and says sorry. + +"You are brave, Sam, you did it!" Tim says. "You saved me!" + +They hug each other and smile. They go to their mom and tell her what happened. She is proud of them. She gives them a kiss and a hug. She says they are both brave and kind. They feel happy and loved. They go home and play together. They forget the slide and the big boy. They are young brothers and best friends. +Sara and Tom were playing with blocks in their room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. Sara had a lot of blocks, but Tom only had a few. Tom wanted more blocks, but Sara did not want to share. + +"Give me some blocks, Sara!" Tom said. + +"No, they are mine!" Sara said. "You have enough blocks. Go away!" + +Tom was angry. He did not like Sara. He wanted to make her sad. He had a plan. He waited until Sara was busy with her blocks. Then he sneaked behind her and pushed her tower. The blocks fell down with a loud noise. Sara cried. + +"Why did you do that, Tom?" Sara said. "That was not nice. That was mean!" + +Tom laughed. He did not care. He felt happy. He grabbed some of Sara's blocks and ran away. He wanted to build his own tower. + +Sara was very sad. She did not have many blocks left. She did not want to play anymore. She wanted to relax. She lay down on her bed and hugged her teddy bear. She wished Tom would be nice to her. She wished she had a friend. + +But Tom did not come back. He stayed in his room with his blocks. He built a very tall tower. He was proud of his tower. He thought he was better than Sara. He did not need a friend. + +But he did not see the cat. The cat was curious. The cat liked to play with blocks. The cat jumped on Tom's tower. The tower fell down with a loud noise. Tom cried. + +The cat ran away. Tom was very sad. He did not have any blocks left. He did not want to play anymore. He wanted to relax. He lay down on his bed and hugged his pillow. He wished Sara would be nice to him. He wished he had a friend. + +But Sara did not come. She stayed in her room with her teddy bear. She did not want to talk to Tom. She did not want to be his friend. + +The end. +Sam liked to play with his toy cars on the couch. He zoomed them up and down the cushions, making loud noises. He pretended they were racing on a big track. He did not see the scissors that his mom left on the couch. The scissors were sharp and shiny. + +"Sam, be careful with your cars," his mom said. "Don't scratch the couch or hurt yourself. And don't touch the scissors. They are not for playing. They are for cutting paper." + +Sam nodded, but he did not listen. He wanted to make his cars go faster and louder. He reached for the scissors. He thought they would make a good ramp for his cars. He did not know they were sharp and dangerous. + +He lifted the scissors and put them on the edge of the couch. He picked up his favorite car, a red one with a big spoiler. He pushed it hard towards the scissors. He hoped it would fly over them and land on the other side. + +But the car did not fly. It hit the scissors and bounced back. The scissors fell off the couch and landed on Sam's leg. Sam felt a sharp pain. He screamed and dropped his car. He saw blood on his leg and on the scissors. + +"Mommy, mommy, help!" he cried. "It hurts, it hurts!" + +His mom heard his scream and ran to him. She saw the scissors and the blood. She was scared and angry. She picked up Sam and hugged him. She took him to the bathroom and cleaned his wound. She put a bandage on it and kissed it. + +"Sam, what did you do?" she asked. "Why did you touch the scissors? I told you they were not for playing. They are sharp and they can hurt you. You could have cut yourself badly. You were very lucky." + +Sam felt sorry and sad. He knew he was wrong. He did not mean to hurt himself or the couch. He just wanted to have fun. He looked at his mom and said, "I'm sorry, mommy. I won't touch the scissors again. I love you." + +His mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Sam. But you have to listen to me and be careful. Scissors are not toys. They are tools. And couches are not tracks. They are for sitting and resting. Come on, let's go back to the couch and read a book. Maybe that will make you feel better." + +Sam nodded and followed his mom. He left his cars and the scissors on the floor. He did not want to play with them anymore. He climbed on the couch and snuggled with his mom. She opened a book and read to him. He liked the book. It had pictures of animals and sounds. He forgot about his pain and his mistake. He felt happy and safe. + +But the couch felt uncomfortable. It had a scratch from the scissors and a stain from the blood. It looked sad and hurt. It wished Sam would be more careful and gentle. It wished he would play with his cars somewhere else. It wished he would love it as much as his mom. +Anna and Ben were very tired after playing all day. They wanted to go to bed, but Mom said they had to eat dinner first. She made them soup with carrots and noodles. It smelled good, but Anna and Ben were not hungry. + +"Come on, kids, eat your soup. It's good for you," Mom said. + +"But Mom, we're sleepy," Anna said. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. + +"Me too," Ben said. He yawned and rested his head on the table. + +Mom smiled and said, "I know, but you need some food to grow strong and healthy. How about this? If you eat your soup, I'll read you a story before bed. A brilliant story with dragons and princesses and magic." + +Anna and Ben perked up. They loved stories, especially brilliant ones. They picked up their spoons and started to eat their soup. It was warm and tasty, and they felt better. + +"Can you tell us the story now, Mom?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, please, Mom," Ben said. + +"Okay, okay, let me finish my soup too," Mom said. She ate her soup and then took Anna and Ben to their bedroom. She tucked them in and opened a big book. She read them a brilliant story with dragons and princesses and magic. Anna and Ben listened and imagined. They forgot they were tired and enjoyed the story. + +"Thank you, Mom, that was a brilliant story," Anna said. + +"Yes, thank you, Mom, we love you," Ben said. + +"I love you too, my sweeties," Mom said. She kissed them goodnight and turned off the light. She left the door open a little bit, so they could see the moon and the stars. Anna and Ben closed their eyes and dreamed of dragons and princesses and magic. They slept well and woke up happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big sandbox where they could make castles and dig holes. Sometimes they also played with their dog, Spot, who was very friendly and fluffy. + +One day, their mom told them to behave and not to make a mess, because they had to go to a party later. She gave them each a pink cupcake and a glass of milk, and said she would be back soon. Lily and Ben said thank you and promised to be good. + +But after they ate their cupcakes, they saw that Spot had jumped into the sandbox and was digging up the soil. He was having fun, but he was also making a big mess. He had soil all over his fur and his paws, and he was throwing it everywhere. + +"Spot, stop it!" Lily shouted. "You are making a mess! Mom will be angry!" + +But Spot did not listen. He wagged his tail and barked happily. He ran towards Lily and Ben, and tried to lick their faces. + +"Yuck!" Ben said. "Spot, you are dirty! Go away!" + +But Spot did not go away. He jumped on them and knocked them over. He rolled them in the soil and the sand, and made them dirty too. He thought it was a game, and he was having fun. + +Lily and Ben tried to push him off, but he was too strong. They started to cry. They did not like being dirty. They wanted to be clean and pretty for the party. + +"Help!" they cried. "Mom, help!" + +Their mom heard them and came running. She saw the mess and was shocked. She saw Spot and was angry. She saw Lily and Ben and was sad. + +"What happened here?" she asked. "Did you behave?" + +Lily and Ben shook their heads. They felt sorry. They knew they had broken their promise. + +"We are sorry, mom," they said. "Spot did it. He was naughty. He made us dirty." + +Their mom sighed. She was not happy, but she was not mean. She loved them, and she knew they were kids. + +"Come on," she said. "Let's go inside and clean up. Maybe we can still make it to the party. But next time, you have to behave. And Spot, you too. No more digging in the sandbox, okay?" + +Spot wagged his tail and barked. He did not understand what she said, but he knew she was not mad. He followed them inside, hoping for another cupcake. He liked cupcakes. They were pink and sweet. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to watch TV after school. They watch cartoons and songs and stories. Sometimes they laugh and sometimes they learn. + +One day, their mom says, "No TV today, kids. We have to go to the store and buy some food. You can watch TV later, OK?" + +Lily and Tom are sad. They want to watch TV now. They say, "But mom, we love TV. TV is fun. TV is reliable. TV never breaks or lies or forgets. Please, mom, can we watch TV?" + +Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, kids, not today. TV is not the most important thing. You have to remember other things, too. Like family and friends and nature and books. TV can wait. Come on, let's go." + +Lily and Tom sigh. They follow mom to the car. They are still sad, but they also remember what mom says. They remember that they love mom and dad and each other. They remember that they have toys and games and bikes. They remember that they can see birds and flowers and stars. They remember that they can read and draw and sing. + +They think, maybe TV is not so reliable after all. Maybe TV is just one thing among many things. Maybe they can watch TV later, and enjoy other things now. They smile and hug mom. They say, "OK, mom, we understand. We love you. Let's go to the store." +Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to play with their toys. Sam had a big truck made of metal and Ben had a small horse made of leather. They shared their toys and had fun together. + +One day, a new boy moved in next door. His name was Tom and he had many toys. He had cars, planes, robots, and even a real bike. Sam and Ben wanted to be his friends and play with his toys. + +They knocked on his door and said, "Hello, we are Sam and Ben. We live next door. Can we play with you?" + +Tom opened the door and looked at them. He saw their toys and said, "No, you can't. Your toys are old and boring. My toys are new and cool. Go away, I don't want to play with you." + +Sam and Ben felt sad and angry. They said, "You are mean and rude. We don't want to be your friends. You are not welcome here." + +They turned around and walked away. But as they did, Tom threw a rock at them. The rock hit Ben's leather horse and tore it apart. Ben cried and hugged his horse. Sam tried to comfort him and said, "Don't worry, Ben. I still have my truck. We can fix your horse. We don't need Tom. We have each other. We are dependable brothers." + +But Ben was too sad to listen. He looked at his horse and said, "No, Sam. You can't fix it. It's broken forever. I loved my horse. It was my favorite toy. Now it's gone. I hate Tom. I hate him so much." He threw his horse on the ground and ran to their house. + +Sam followed him and tried to talk to him. But Ben locked himself in his room and refused to come out. He cried and cried and cried. Sam felt lonely and helpless. He wished he had never met Tom. He wished he could make Ben happy again. He wished they could play with their toys like before. But he knew it was too late. Their toys were ruined and their friendship was broken. It was a bad ending. +Lily was a little mouse who lived in a hole with her mom and dad. She liked to play with her friends, but she also liked to explore new places. One day, she saw a big hole in the wall that she had never seen before. She wanted to see what was inside, so she ran to the hole and peeked in. + +She saw a lot of shiny things and soft things and round things. She wondered what they were and how they felt. She saw a gray thing that looked like a ball, but it had a long tail and ears. She thought it was a toy, so she reached out her paw to touch it. + +But the gray thing was not a toy. It was a cat, and it was sleeping. When Lily touched it, it woke up and saw her. It opened its mouth and hissed, showing its sharp teeth. It was a hunter, and it wanted to catch Lily. + +Lily was very scared. She tried to run away, but the cat was faster. It jumped out of the hole and chased her. Lily ran as fast as she could, but the cat was close behind. She looked for a place to hide, but she could not find any. + +She saw her mom and dad in their hole. She called to them, "Help! Help! A hunter is after me!" Her mom and dad heard her and came out. They saw the cat and they were scared too. They shouted at the cat, "Go away! Go away! Leave our Lily alone!" + +The cat was surprised by the noise. It stopped and looked at the mice. It saw that they were angry and brave. It decided that it did not want to fight them. It turned around and ran back to the hole. It did not want to see Lily or her mom and dad again. + +Lily was safe. She ran to her mom and dad and hugged them. They hugged her back and kissed her. They were happy that she was okay. They said to her, "Lily, you are very lucky. You should not go to places you do not know. There may be hunters there who want to hurt you. You should stay with us and your friends. We love you and we will protect you." + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. I was curious, but I was foolish. I will not go to the hole again. I love you too and I will listen to you." She learned her lesson and never went to the hole again. She played with her friends and explored safe places. She was a happy mouse. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy trains on the track. They liked to make the trains go fast and make noises. Lily had a red train and Tom had a blue train. + +"Look, my train is faster than yours!" Lily said. She pushed her train hard and it zoomed past Tom's train. + +"No, it's not!" Tom said. He pushed his train harder and it caught up with Lily's train. He tried to make his train bump Lily's train off the track. + +"Hey, stop that!" Lily said. She did not like Tom's train hitting her train. She slapped Tom's hand and made him drop his train. + +"Ow, that hurt!" Tom said. He started to cry. He felt angry and sad. + +Lily felt sorry for Tom. She did not mean to hurt him. She was just playing. She picked up Tom's train and gave it back to him. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't want to slap you. I just wanted to play with you." Lily said. She gave Tom a hug. + +Tom stopped crying. He hugged Lily back. He felt better. + +"I'm sorry, too, Lily. I didn't want to bump your train. I just wanted to have fun with you." Tom said. He smiled. + +They put their trains back on the track and played together. They were humble and kind. They were friends. +Anna and Ben like to play with tape. They have many colors of tape. They make shapes and letters with tape on the wall. They have fun with tape. + +One night, Anna and Ben hear a loud noise. They are frightened. They think it is a monster. They hide under the blanket. They see a light shine in the dark. They are more frightened. They think it is the monster's eye. + +They peek out of the blanket. They see the light is not a monster. It is a flashlight. It is their dad. He is looking for them. He says, "I heard a noise. Are you okay?" + +Anna and Ben are happy to see their dad. They say, "We are okay. We were scared of the noise. We thought it was a monster." + +Their dad says, "There is no monster. It was just the wind. It blew a branch against the window. It made a loud noise. It is okay. You are safe." + +He hugs them and kisses them. He says, "I like your tape art. It is very pretty. It shines in the flashlight. Can you show me what you made?" + +Anna and Ben smile. They are not frightened anymore. They show their dad their tape shapes and letters. They are proud of their tape art. They say, "We made a star, a heart, a sun, and our names. Do you like them?" + +Their dad says, "I love them. You are very creative. You are my shining stars. Now, let's go back to sleep. It is late. Good night, Anna. Good night, Ben." + +He turns off the flashlight. He tucks them in. He says, "Sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs bite." + +Anna and Ben giggle. They say, "Good night, dad. We love you." + +They close their eyes. They are not scared of the dark. They are happy. They dream of tape and light. +Lily and Sam liked to play outside on Tuesday. Tuesday was a day when they did not go to school. They had more time to run and jump and laugh. + +One Tuesday, it was very cold. The grass was white and hard. The air made their noses red. Lily and Sam put on their hats and coats and gloves. They wanted to see the snow. + +They went to the park with their mom. The park was peaceful. There were no other kids or dogs or cars. Only birds and squirrels and trees. Lily and Sam saw a big hill. They wanted to slide down the hill. + +They ran to the hill and climbed up. They found a big piece of cardboard. They put it on the ground and sat on it. They pushed with their feet and zoomed down the hill. They screamed with joy. + +"Again, again!" they said. They climbed up the hill again and slid down again. They did this many times. They had so much fun. + +Then, their mom called them. "Lily, Sam, come here!" she said. "It's time to go home. You need to warm up and have some hot chocolate." + +Lily and Sam did not want to go home. They wanted to slide more. They pretended they did not hear their mom. They slid down the hill one more time. + +But this time, something happened. The cardboard got stuck on a rock. Lily and Sam flew off the cardboard and landed on the snow. They did not get hurt, but they could not move. They were frozen. + +"Help, help!" they shouted. "We are frozen!" + +Their mom heard them and ran to them. She picked them up and hugged them. She rubbed their arms and legs and cheeks. She made them warm again. + +"Are you okay?" she asked. "You scared me. Why did you not listen to me?" + +Lily and Sam felt sorry. They knew they were wrong. They said sorry to their mom. They said they loved her. + +Their mom smiled and kissed them. She said she loved them too. She said they could slide again another day. But now they had to go home and have some hot chocolate. + +Lily and Sam agreed. They held their mom's hand and walked to the car. They were still cold, but they were happy. They learned a lesson. They learned to listen to their mom. And they learned to not freeze. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. Spot has black and white fur and a long tail. He likes to run and jump and bark. + +One day, they see a big green ball in the park. It is shiny and round and bouncy. Lily and Ben want to play with it. They rush to the ball and try to grab it. But the ball is too fast. It rolls away from them and makes a funny noise. + +"Beep beep!" the ball says. Lily and Ben are surprised. They look at the ball and see that it has eyes and a mouth and wheels. It is not a ball. It is a robot. + +"Hello, I am Robo. I am a friendly robot. Do you want to play with me?" the robot says. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They do not know what a robot is. They think it is a monster. They run back to Spot and hug him. Spot barks at the robot. + +"Go away, go away!" Lily and Ben say. + +The robot is sad. He does not want to scare them. He wants to be their friend. He stops and looks at them. + +"I am sorry, I did not mean to frighten you. I am lonely. I have no friends. Can you be my friends?" the robot says. + +Lily and Ben look at the robot. He does not look mean. He looks sad. They feel sorry for him. They look at Spot. Spot wags his tail. He likes the robot. + +"Maybe we can be friends," Lily says. + +"Yes, maybe we can," Ben says. + +They go to the robot and touch him. He is smooth and cold and hard. He is different from Spot. But he is also fun and nice and smart. He can talk and beep and roll and bounce. + +They play with the robot and Spot. They have a lot of fun. They learn new things. They laugh and smile and hug. + +They are happy. They are friends. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they fight over their toys. They have a war. + +One day, Ben has a new truck. It is big and red and shiny. Sam sees the truck and wants it. He is envious of Ben. He says, "Give me the truck, Ben. It is mine." + +Ben says, "No, Sam. It is not yours. It is mine. I got it for my birthday. Go away." + +Sam does not go away. He tries to grab the truck from Ben. Ben holds on to the truck. They pull and push and shout. They have a war. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the room. She sees Ben and Sam fighting over the truck. She is angry. She says, "Stop it, Ben and Sam. You are being naughty. You have to share your toys. You are brothers. You should love each other, not have a war." + +Ben and Sam stop fighting. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Sam." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's better. Now, why don't you play together with the truck? You can take turns. You can have fun." + +Ben and Sam nod. They hug Mom. They hug each other. They play together with the truck. They do not have a war. They are happy. +Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals. She wanted to be a painter when she grew up. + +One day, she saw a man painting on a big wall. He had a ladder and a bucket and a roller. He painted the wall white. Lily was confused. Why did he paint the wall white? She wanted to see his colors and pictures. + +She went to the man and asked him. "Hello, mister. Why do you paint the wall white? Where are your colors and pictures?" + +The man smiled and said, "Hello, little girl. I am not a painter. I am a teacher. I paint the wall white so I can teach the children. I will write words and numbers and draw shapes on the wall. Then the children can learn and have fun." + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked to learn and have fun. But she also liked to paint. She said, "Can I help you, mister? Can I paint something on the wall too?" + +The man nodded and said, "Sure, you can help me. You can paint something on the corner of the wall. But you have to use only one color. And you have to paint something that starts with the letter A. Do you know what letter A is?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I know. A is for apple. A is for ant. A is for alligator." She picked a green brush and dipped it in the bucket. She painted a big green alligator on the corner of the wall. She was very proud of her painting. + +The man clapped and said, "Wow, you are a very good painter. And you are very smart. You know the letter A and the words that start with it. You are a great helper. Thank you, Lily." + +Lily smiled and said, "You are welcome, mister. Thank you for teaching me. I like to paint and I like to learn. Maybe I can be a painter and a teacher when I grow up." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and run in the park. But they do not like Sam. Sam is mean. He takes their toys and laughs at them. He says bad words. He hates them. + +One day, Lily and Ben are playing with a ball. They throw it to each other and have fun. Sam sees them and runs to them. He grabs the ball and throws it away. He says, "You are silly and stupid. I hate you. Go away." + +Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They want their ball back. They say to Sam, "You are mean and rude. We hate you. Give us our ball." + +Sam says, "No. It is my ball now. You can't have it. You have no name. You are nothing." + +Lily and Ben are shocked. They have a name. They are something. They say to Sam, "That is not true. We have a name. We are Lily and Ben. We are friends. You have no name. You are nothing." + +Sam is confused. He has a name. He is something. He says to Lily and Ben, "That is not true. I have a name. I am Sam. I am serious. You have no name. You are nothing." + +Lily and Ben are smart. They have an idea. They say to Sam, "If you are serious, prove it. Give us our ball. Then we will tell you our name. Maybe we can be friends." + +Sam thinks. He wants to be serious. He wants to have friends. He says to Lily and Ben, "OK. I will give you your ball. Then you will tell me your name. Maybe we can be friends." + +He gives them their ball. They say, "Thank you. Our name is Lily and Ben. What is your name?" + +He says, "My name is Sam. I am sorry for being mean. Can we be friends?" + +They say, "Yes. We can be friends. But you have to be nice and share. And no more bad words." + +He says, "OK. I will be nice and share. And no more bad words." + +They smile and hug. They play with the ball. They are friends. They do not hate each other. They like each other. +Mira and Ravi liked to play with their blocks. They built houses, towers, and bridges with them. Sometimes they pretended they were in a big city, or a forest, or a castle. + +One day, they decided to build a temple. They used the biggest and prettiest blocks they had. They made a dome, a gate, and a bell. They were very proud of their temple. + +But then, Raj came along. Raj was their neighbor. He was older and bigger than them. He saw their temple and he was envious. He wanted to have the blocks for himself. He said, "That's a silly temple. It's too small and ugly. Give me those blocks!" + +Mira and Ravi said, "No, Raj. These are our blocks. We made this temple. Go away!" + +But Raj did not listen. He grabbed some blocks and threw them at Mira and Ravi. He knocked down their temple. He laughed and said, "Ha ha! Now I have the blocks!" + +Mira and Ravi were very sad and angry. They cried and shouted, "Raj, you are mean! You are a bully! You broke our temple!" + +Raj did not care. He took the blocks and ran away. + +Mira and Ravi hugged each other. They said, "Don't worry. We can build another temple. We have more blocks. And we have each other." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big gray mill near the river. They wanted to see what was inside, so they ran to the door. But the door was locked. + +"Let us in, let us in!" they shouted, banging on the door. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from inside the mill. It sounded like a big machine that was angry. They felt the ground shake and the wind blow. They saw smoke and sparks coming out of the windows. + +They were scared and wanted to run away, but they could not. The door was stuck and they could not open it. They started to cry and tremble. + +"Help, help!" they screamed, hoping someone would hear them. + +But no one came. The mill was too far from the town and no one knew they were there. The noise got louder and louder, and the smoke and sparks got bigger and bigger. The mill was on fire and it was going to explode. + +Tom and Lily hugged each other and closed their eyes. They wished they had never gone to the mill. They wished they had listened to their mom, who told them to stay away from the mill. They wished they could go home. + +But it was too late. The mill exploded and they were gone. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they find a big box in the basement. The box is full of old clothes and things. + +"Look, Tom, what is this?" Lila asks, holding a soft red thing. + +"It is velvet," Tom says. "My grandma has a velvet dress. It is pretty and warm." + +"Can I wear it?" Lila asks. + +"Sure, you can try it on," Tom says. He helps Lila put on the velvet thing. It is too big for her, but she likes it. + +"How do I look?" Lila asks, spinning around. + +"You look like a queen," Tom says. He finds a shiny crown in the box and puts it on Lila's head. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend," Lila says. She hugs Tom. + +"Can I be a king?" Tom asks. + +"Of course, you can," Lila says. She looks in the box and finds a blue thing. It is also velvet. She gives it to Tom. + +"Here, you can wear this," she says. + +Tom puts on the blue thing. It is also too big for him, but he likes it. + +"How do I look?" Tom asks, standing tall. + +"You look like a king," Lila says. She finds a clear thing in the box. It is a glass ball. She gives it to Tom. + +"Here, you can hold this," she says. + +"What is it?" Tom asks, looking at the glass ball. + +"It is a magic ball," Lila says. "It can show you anything you want." + +"Really?" Tom asks. He holds the glass ball and looks inside. + +"What do you see?" Lila asks. + +"I see us," Tom says. "We are sitting on a big throne. We are happy and smiling." + +"Me too," Lila says. She looks in the glass ball and sees the same thing. + +They sit on the floor and pretend they are sitting on a big throne. They hold the glass ball and the crown. They are happy and smiling. They are the king and queen of the basement. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big stick on the ground. Tom picked it up and said, "Look, Mia, I have a sword. I can fight the bad guys." + +Mia said, "Can I have a turn, Tom? I want to play with the stick too." + +Tom said, "No, it's mine. I found it first. You can find your own stick." He waved the stick in the air and made noises. + +Mia felt sad and angry. She wanted to play with Tom, but he was not nice. She walked away and looked for another stick. She found a small one and said, "This is my stick. It's better than Tom's stick. It's a magic wand. I can do spells." + +Tom saw Mia with her stick and said, "That's a silly stick, Mia. It's too small and weak. It can't do anything. My stick is bigger and stronger. It can do everything." + +Mia said, "No, it can't. Your stick is just a stick. My stick is magic. Watch this." She pointed her stick at Tom and said, "Abracadabra, turn Tom into a frog." + +Tom laughed and said, "That's a stupid spell, Mia. It doesn't work. You can't turn me into a frog. You can't do anything with your stick." + +Mia felt hurt and mad. She said, "Yes, I can. You'll see. You'll be sorry." She ran away with her stick. + +Tom shrugged and said, "Whatever. I don't care. I have the best stick in the world. I don't need Mia. I can play by myself." He swung his stick around and pretended to fight the bad guys. + +But then, he heard a loud bark. He turned around and saw a big dog running towards him. The dog looked angry and hungry. It wanted to bite Tom and his stick. + +Tom felt scared and panic. He dropped his stick and ran away. He shouted, "Help, help, a dog is chasing me. Mia, Mia, where are you?" + +Mia heard Tom's cry. She saw the dog and Tom. She felt sorry for Tom. She said, "Don't worry, Tom. I'll help you." She ran towards the dog and said, "Stop, dog. Leave Tom alone. He's my friend." She pointed her stick at the dog and said, "Abracadabra, turn dog into a cat." + +The dog stopped and looked at Mia. It saw her stick and heard her words. It felt confused and scared. It thought, "Maybe she can do magic. Maybe she can turn me into a cat. I don't want to be a cat. I want to be a dog." It turned around and ran away. + +Tom saw the dog run away. He felt relieved and happy. He said, "Thank you, Mia. You saved me. You're the best. Your stick is magic. It worked." + +Mia smiled and said, "You're welcome, Tom. I'm glad you're okay. My stick is not magic. It's just a stick. But I used my words and my courage. That's what made the dog go away." + +Tom said, "Wow, Mia. You're so smart and brave. I'm sorry I was mean to you. I was wrong. Your stick is not silly. It's awesome. Can we share our sticks and play together?" + +Mia said, "Of course, Tom. I'm sorry I was mad at you. I was wrong too. Your stick is not just a stick. It's a sword. Can we be friends and play together?" + +Tom and Mia hugged and said, "Yes, we can. We're friends. We're a team. We can do anything with our sticks." + +They picked up their sticks and ran to the slide. They had fun and played nice. They were proud of themselves and each other. They learned to share and care. They were happy. The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to swim in the pool. They have fun toys to play with. One toy is a laser. It makes a red light. Lily and Ben like to point the laser at the water and make shapes. + +One day, a bad man comes to the pool. He sees the laser and wants it. He is mean and scary. He says to Lily and Ben, "Give me the laser or I will hurt you!" + +Lily and Ben are scared. They do not want to give the laser. They do not want to be hurt. They think fast. They have an idea. + +They point the laser at the bad man's eyes. He cannot see. He says, "Ow! Stop that! It hurts!" Lily and Ben swim away. They find a lifeguard. They tell him about the bad man. + +The lifeguard calls the police. The police come and catch the bad man. They take him away. Lily and Ben are safe. They are brave. They hug each other. They say, "We are happy we have the laser. It is a good toy. But we have to be careful with it. It can hurt people too." +Sara and her mom went to the mall. Sara liked the mall. She saw many things that she wanted. She saw a purple dress, a purple hat, and a purple toy. She asked her mom to buy them for her. + +"Mom, can I have the purple dress?" Sara said. + +"No, Sara, you have enough dresses at home. You don't need another one," her mom said. + +"Please, mom, it is so pretty. I want the purple dress," Sara said. + +"Sara, stop. You are being greedy. You have to resist the urge to want everything you see. We are here to buy some groceries, not to buy clothes and toys," her mom said. + +Sara was not happy. She pouted and cried. She did not want to resist. She wanted the purple dress. She wanted the purple hat. She wanted the purple toy. She wanted everything purple. + +Her mom was not happy either. She was tired and annoyed. She wanted to finish shopping and go home. She did not want to deal with Sara's tantrum. She tried to calm Sara down. + +"Sara, listen to me. I know you like purple, but you can't have everything you want. You have to be grateful for what you have. You have to be respectful of our budget. You have to be patient and wait for special occasions. You have to be a good girl and behave yourself. Do you understand?" her mom said. + +Sara looked at her mom. She saw that her mom was serious and sad. She felt sorry for her mom. She did not want to make her mom unhappy. She decided to resist her wants. She decided to be a good girl. + +"Okay, mom. I understand. I'm sorry for crying. I don't need the purple dress. I don't need the purple hat. I don't need the purple toy. I have enough things at home. I love you, mom," Sara said. + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She was proud of Sara. She was glad that Sara learned to resist. She loved Sara very much. + +"Thank you, Sara. I'm sorry for being harsh. I love you too. You are a very good girl. How about we get some ice cream as a treat? What flavor do you want?" her mom said. + +Sara thought for a moment. She knew what flavor she wanted. + +"Purple," Sara said. +Tom likes to play with his rocket. He has a big rocket that can fly in the sky. He likes to make zoom sounds and pretend he is an astronaut. + +One day, Tom wants to play with his rocket outside. He asks his mom if he can go to the park. His mom says yes, but he has to be careful with his rocket. She says he can't throw it too high or too far, or he might lose it or break it. + +Tom says okay and goes to the park with his rocket. He finds a nice spot on the grass and starts to play. He throws his rocket up in the air and catches it. He makes zoom sounds and smiles. He has fun. + +But then, he sees a big tree. He wonders if his rocket can fly over the tree. He wants to try. He stretches his arm and throws his rocket as hard as he can. He hopes it will come back to him. + +But it doesn't. His rocket gets stuck on a branch. He can't reach it. He tries to jump and grab it, but he is too short. He feels sad and scared. He wants his rocket back. He starts to cry. + +A lady sees him crying and comes to help. She asks him what is wrong. He tells her about his rocket. She says she can help. She has a long stick. She stretches the stick and pokes the branch. The rocket falls down. She gives it to Tom. + +Tom is happy. He hugs his rocket. He says thank you to the lady. He says he is sorry for throwing his rocket too high. He says he will be more careful next time. The lady smiles and says it's okay. She says she is glad he got his rocket back. She says he can keep playing, but he has to watch out for the trees. + +Tom says okay and goes back to the grass. He plays with his rocket, but he doesn't throw it too high or too far. He makes zoom sounds and smiles. He has fun. +Lily and Tom were having breakfast with Mom and Dad. They liked to eat toast with jam and drink milk. Mom gave them each a fork to spread the jam on their toast. + +"Can you pass me the jam, please?" Lily asked Tom. + +"Here you go," Tom said, and stretched his arm to give Lily the jar of jam. But he stretched too far and knocked over his glass of milk. The milk spilled on the table and on his shirt. + +"Oh no!" Tom cried. "I'm sorry, Mom!" + +Mom was calm and did not get angry. She got a cloth and wiped the table and Tom's shirt. + +"It's okay, Tom. Accidents happen. Next time, be careful when you stretch," Mom said. + +"Thank you, Mom. I'll be careful," Tom said. + +Lily gave Tom a hug and said, "Don't worry, Tom. I still love you." + +Tom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily." + +They finished their breakfast and went to play. They had a good day. +Lila and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were hunters in the jungle. They had sticks that they used as spears. They threw them at the trees and the bushes. + +"Look, I got a big lion!" Sam said, pointing at a branch with his spear. + +"No, you didn't. That's not a lion, that's a bird!" Lila said, laughing. + +She ran to another tree and threw her spear. "I got a monkey!" she said. + +Sam followed her and looked at the tree. He saw a squirrel running away. + +"That's not a monkey, that's a squirrel!" he said. + +They both giggled and picked up their spears. They liked to make up animals and have fun. + +They saw a pond with some ducks. They decided to go closer and see if they could catch one. + +"Be quiet, or they will fly away!" Lila whispered. + +They crept towards the pond, holding their spears. They saw a big duck with a green head and a brown body. It looked very cool. + +"Let's get that one!" Sam said. + +He threw his spear at the duck, but he missed. The duck quacked and splashed in the water. + +"Oops, sorry!" Sam said. + +The other ducks got scared and flew away. Lila and Sam watched them go. + +"That was fun, but maybe we should not throw spears at ducks. They are nice animals and they don't like it," Lila said. + +She had an idea. She saw some bread on a bench nearby. Someone had left it for the ducks. + +"Hey, I have a better idea. Why don't we suggest to the ducks to come back and eat some bread? Maybe they will be happy and let us play with them," she said. + +She took some bread and threw it in the pond. She called the ducks with a soft voice. + +"Come here, ducks, come here. We have some bread for you. We are sorry we scared you. We want to be your friends," she said. + +Sam liked the idea. He took some bread and threw it in the pond too. He called the ducks with a soft voice. + +"Yes, come here, ducks, come here. We have some bread for you. We are sorry we scared you. We want to be your friends," he said. + +The ducks saw the bread and heard the voices. They were hungry and curious. They came back to the pond and ate the bread. They quacked and swam around. They let Lila and Sam touch their feathers and feed them more bread. + +Lila and Sam were very happy. They had made new friends. They forgot about their spears and played with the ducks. They thought the ducks were very cool. +Anna and Ben love to play on the beach. They make sand castles, dig holes and look for shells. One day, they see a big boat on the sea. It is white and shiny and has a flag on it. + +"Wow, look at that boat!" Ben says. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"Can we go on it?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe we can ask Mom and Dad." + +They run to their parents, who are sitting on a blanket. They point to the boat and ask if they can go on it. + +"Sorry, kids, but that boat is not for us," Mom says. "It belongs to someone else. And it is too far away." + +"But it looks so fun!" Anna says. + +"I know, sweetie, but we have our own fun here," Dad says. "Why don't you play with this adorable puppy we found?" + +He shows them a small, brown puppy that is wagging its tail. It has a red collar with a tag that says "Spot". + +"Aw, he is so cute!" Anna says. She picks up the puppy and hugs it. + +"Can we keep him?" Ben asks. + +"Well, we have to find out if he has an owner first," Mom says. "But maybe we can play with him for a while." + +The puppy licks Anna's face and makes her giggle. Ben pets the puppy and makes him roll over. They take the puppy to the water and splash him gently. The puppy barks and wags his tail. He likes the water. + +But then, a big wave comes and makes a loud noise. The puppy gets scared and trembles. He runs back to the blanket and hides under it. + +"Oh, poor puppy!" Anna says. She follows him and tries to comfort him. + +"It's okay, puppy, it's just water," she says. "It won't hurt you." + +She cuddles the puppy and sings to him softly. The puppy stops trembling and looks at her with his big, brown eyes. He trusts her. + +Anna smiles and kisses the puppy. She loves him. + +The end. +Anna and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys and books to have fun with. But they both wanted the same thing: a red car that was in the drawer. + +"Give me the car, Ben!" Anna said. "It is mine!" + +"No, it is mine!" Ben said. "I saw it first!" + +They pulled and pushed the car, but no one would yield. They started to cry and shout. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the room. She saw Anna and Ben fighting over the car. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asked. "Why are you not sharing?" + +Anna and Ben stopped crying and looked at Mom. They felt sorry for being mean to each other. + +"We both want the car, Mom," Anna said. + +"But there is only one car, Mom," Ben said. + +Mom smiled and opened the drawer. She took out another car, a blue one, and gave it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, here is another car for you," Mom said. "Now you can both play with a car." + +Ben was happy to get the blue car. He thanked Mom and gave the red car to Anna. + +"Thank you, Mom, and sorry, Anna," Ben said. + +"Thank you, Mom, and sorry, Ben," Anna said. + +They hugged each other and Mom. They were cheerful again. They played with their cars and had a good time. Mom was proud of them. She closed the drawer and left them to enjoy their toys. +Anna and Ben like to play in the pool. They have a big pool in their backyard. They have many toys for the pool. They have balls, ducks, and rings. + +One day, Anna and Ben want to play with the rings. The rings are different colors and sizes. Anna and Ben try to fit the rings on their arms and legs. They have fun with the rings. + +But then, Anna sees a big ring. The big ring is red and shiny. Anna wants to fit the big ring on her head. She thinks it will look pretty. She puts the big ring on her head and tries to pull it down. But the big ring is too big. It does not fit on her head. It gets stuck on her ears. + +Anna cries. She does not like the big ring. She wants to take it off. Ben hears Anna cry. He runs to help her. He sees the big ring on her head. He thinks it is funny. He laughs. + +Anna does not like Ben's laugh. She thinks he is mean. She cries louder. Ben stops laughing. He sees that Anna is sad. He wants to help her. He is a wise brother. He knows what to do. + +He gets a bucket of water. He pours the water on Anna's head. The water makes the big ring slippery. He pulls the big ring off Anna's head. He gives it to Anna. He says he is sorry. He says he loves her. + +Anna stops crying. She is happy. She hugs Ben. She says she is sorry. She says she loves him. They are friends again. They play with the rings. They are careful with the big ring. They have fun in the pool. +Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play in the park. But today, the park is very dirty. There are many bins, but they are full of rubbish. The rubbish is on the grass, on the swings, on the slide. + +Sam and Tom are sad. They want to play, but they do not like the rubbish. They see a big bin. It is not full. It has a lid. Sam has an idea. + +"Let's play hide and seek!" he says to Tom. "You hide in the bin, and I will find you." + +Tom thinks it is a good idea. He likes to hide. He opens the lid and climbs into the bin. He closes the lid. He waits for Sam to find him. + +Sam counts to ten. He looks for Tom. He does not see him. He does not hear him. He walks around the park. He forgets about the bin. + +A man comes to the park. He works for the council. He has a big truck. He has to empty the bins. He sees the big bin. He does not know that Tom is inside. He lifts the bin with a crane. He puts it on the truck. He drives away. + +Tom is scared. He feels the bin moving. He feels the bin falling. He feels the bin crashing. He screams. He screams very loud. But no one hears him. No one helps him. He is trapped in the bin. He is alone. He is hurt. He is dirty. He cries. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with their toys. Tom has a big truck and Mia has a doll. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, Tom and Mia find a new toy in the park. It is a shiny robot. It has a label on its back. The label says "Press here to make me talk". Tom and Mia are curious. They want to hear the robot talk. + +Tom presses the label. The robot says "Hello, I am Robo. I can lead you to a secret place. Follow me." Tom and Mia are excited. They want to see the secret place. They follow the robot. + +The robot leads them to a big tree. It says "This is the secret place. There is a treasure inside the tree. You can have it if you are nice." Tom and Mia are happy. They want to see the treasure. They say "Thank you, Robo. You are nice too." + +They go inside the tree. They find a box. Inside the box, there are many candies and stickers. Tom and Mia are delighted. They share the candies and stickers. They say "This is the best treasure ever. We are lucky to have Robo as a friend." +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play together. Sometimes they play hide and seek. Ben counts to ten and Mia runs to hide. Ben looks for Mia in the house. + +He looks in the bedroom. He does not see Mia. He looks in the bathroom. He does not see Mia. He looks in the kitchen. He does not see Mia. Where is Mia? + +He hears a loud noise. It is Mia. She is in the closet. She jumps out and says, "Surprise!" She hugs Ben with her arms. Ben is surprised. He laughs and says, "You scared me, Mia!" Mia laughs too. They are happy. They play again. +Mia liked to dream. She dreamed of flying in the sky, like the birds. She dreamed of seeing faraway places, like the mountains and the sea. She dreamed of being free and happy, like the wind. + +One day, she saw a raven. The raven was big and black, with shiny feathers. The raven flew very high and fast, with graceful wings. Mia wanted to be like the raven. She asked the raven, "Can you teach me how to fly?" + +The raven said, "Yes, I can. But you have to do what I say. You have to follow me everywhere. You have to eat what I eat. You have to forget your home and your family. You have to be a raven, not a girl." + +Mia thought for a moment. She loved her home and her family. She liked to eat fruits and bread, not worms and bugs. She liked to be a girl, not a raven. She said, "No, thank you. I like to dream, but I also like to be myself." + +The raven was angry. He said, "You are foolish. You are missing a chance to fly. You are wasting your life on the ground. You are not a dreamer, you are a coward." + +Mia was sad. She said, "I am not a coward. I am brave. I am brave enough to say no to you. I am brave enough to be happy with who I am. I am brave enough to dream my own dreams." + +The raven flew away, with a loud caw. Mia watched him go, with a smile. She knew that dreaming was good, but living was better. She knew that flying was fun, but loving was more. She knew that being a raven was graceful, but being a girl was wonderful. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, it is raining. Tom has a big umbrella. Mia has a small umbrella. + +"Can I play with your umbrella?" Mia asks Tom. + +Tom nods. He gives his umbrella to Mia. Mia is happy. She opens the umbrella and spins it around. + +"Thank you, Tom. Your umbrella is fun. It has many colors," Mia says. + +Tom smiles. He looks at Mia's umbrella. It is pink and has flowers on it. + +"Can I play with your umbrella?" Tom asks Mia. + +Mia nods. She gives her umbrella to Tom. Tom is happy. He opens the umbrella and holds it over his head. + +"Thank you, Mia. Your umbrella is pretty. It has nice flowers," Tom says. + +Mia smiles. She looks at Tom's umbrella. It is blue and has stars on it. + +They play with each other's umbrellas. They laugh and have fun. They do not mind the rain. + +They learn that different things can be good. They learn to share and be kind. They are good friends. +Tom and Anna were very happy. They were going to see a big game with their dad. They put on their red hats and shirts. They liked the same team. + +They got in the car and drove for a long time. They saw many buildings and trees and cars. They sang songs and played games. They asked dad many questions. + +"Are we there yet?" Tom asked. + +"Almost, buddy. Look, you can see the stadium. It's very big and round. Do you see it?" dad said. + +Tom and Anna looked out the window. They saw the stadium. It was very big and round. It had many lights and flags. It was beautiful. + +"Wow!" Tom and Anna said. + +They got out of the car and walked to the stadium. They saw many people wearing red hats and shirts. They heard many noises. They smelled popcorn and hot dogs. + +They followed dad to their seats. They sat down and looked at the field. They saw the players warming up. They saw the ball and the goals. They realized they were going to see a soccer game. + +They clapped and cheered. They were very excited. They loved soccer. They loved their team. They loved their dad. They had a lot of fun. +Ben was very happy. He had a big box with a red bow. It was his birthday present from Mom and Dad. He wanted to open it right away, but Mom said he had to wait until after dinner. + +"What do you think is in the box, Ben?" Dad asked. + +Ben thought hard. He hoped it was something he liked. He liked cars and balls and books. He did not like dolls or clothes or puzzles. + +"Maybe it is a car," Ben said. "Or a ball. Or a book." + +"Maybe," Dad said. "Or maybe it is something else. Something you have never seen before." + +Ben was curious. He wanted to know what it was. He tried to shake the box, but Mom stopped him. + +"Be careful, Ben," Mom said. "You don't want to break it. It is very special." + +Ben wondered why it was so special. He looked at the box again. It was big and heavy. He heard a strange sound when he moved it. It was not a car sound or a ball sound or a book sound. It was a different sound. A loud sound. A sound like a horn. + +Ben had an idea. He smiled. He knew what it was. He was very excited. He could not wait to open it. + +After dinner, Mom and Dad said he could open his present. Ben ran to the box and tore off the bow. He ripped the paper and lifted the lid. He was right. It was a trumpet. A shiny, golden trumpet. + +"Wow!" Ben said. "A trumpet! Thank you, Mom and Dad!" + +"You're welcome, Ben," Mom and Dad said. "We know you love music. We thought you would like to learn how to play the trumpet." + +Ben hugged them. He was very happy. He picked up the trumpet and put it to his mouth. He blew as hard as he could. He made a loud noise. A very loud noise. A noise that made Mom and Dad cover their ears. + +"Ben, Ben, Ben," Mom said. "That's enough for now. You have to learn how to play it properly. You have to be gentle and careful. You have to practice and listen to your teacher." + +Ben nodded. He wanted to play it well. He wanted to make beautiful music. He wanted to be ready for his first concert. + +He put the trumpet back in the box. He would practice tomorrow. He was very happy. He had the best birthday present ever. A trumpet. A shiny, golden trumpet. +Anna liked to play with her doll. She named her doll Lily and gave her a pink dress and a yellow hat. Anna and Lily did everything together. They had tea parties, read books, and sang songs. + +One day, Anna wanted to have an adventurous game. She saw a big tree in the garden and thought it would be fun to climb it. She took Lily with her and started to go up the tree. She was not afraid of the high branches. She wanted to see the birds and the sky. + +"Look, Lily, we are so high!" Anna said to her doll. "We can see the whole world from here!" + +But then, Anna heard her mom calling her. "Anna, come down right now! It's not safe to climb the tree!" + +Anna did not want to listen to her mom. She wanted to stay in the tree with Lily. She thought her mom was boring and did not understand her game. She got angry and said, "No, I don't want to come down! I want to play with Lily!" + +She was so angry that she threw Lily in the air. She wanted to catch her again, but she missed. Lily fell down and hit the ground. She broke into pieces. Her dress was torn and her hat was lost. + +Anna saw what she had done and started to cry. She realized she had made a big mistake. She loved Lily and did not want to hurt her. She wished she had listened to her mom. She climbed down the tree and ran to her mom. She hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was bad. I threw Lily and she broke. Can you fix her?" + +Her mom looked at the broken doll and shook her head. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna, but I can't fix Lily. She is too damaged. You have to be more careful with your toys. And you have to obey me when I tell you something. Climbing the tree was dangerous. You could have fallen and hurt yourself." + +Anna felt very sad and sorry. She had lost her best friend and made her mom angry. She learned a hard lesson. She decided to be more careful and obedient from then on. She hoped she could find a new doll someday, but she knew she would never forget Lily. +Tom and Anna liked to play with their toy boat. They had a big tub of water in the garden, and they would put the boat in the water and watch it sail. Sometimes they would blow on the sail to make it go faster, or use a stick to steer it. + +One day, Tom had an idea. He said to Anna, "Let's take the boat to the pond. It is bigger and deeper than the tub. The boat will sail better there." Anna was not sure. She said, "But the pond is far away. And there are ducks and fish in the pond. They might take our boat." Tom said, "Don't be scared. The ducks and fish are kind. They will not hurt our boat. Come on, it will be fun." + +Anna agreed to go with Tom. They put the boat in a bag and walked to the pond. It was a sunny day, and the pond looked blue and shiny. They found a spot on the bank and took out the boat. They put it in the water and watched it sail. It looked very pretty and fast. + +But then, a big duck saw the boat. It was curious and hungry. It swam towards the boat and pecked at the sail. The sail ripped and the boat tipped over. Tom and Anna shouted, "No, no, stop, duck! That is our boat!" But the duck did not listen. It grabbed the boat in its beak and swam away. + +Tom and Anna were very sad. They had lost their boat. They cried and ran back home. They wished they had stayed in the garden with the tub. They learned that the pond was not a good place to play with their toy boat. And they learned that the duck was not kind. +Lily and Ben were twins who loved to play at the beach. They liked to build sand castles, dig holes, and splash in the water. One day, they saw a big boat with a flag that said "Welcome". They wondered who was on the boat and what they were doing. + +"Let's go say hello!" Lily said to Ben. "Maybe they have some toys or snacks for us." + +"Okay, but be careful. The sea can be deep and strong," Ben said. They held hands and ran towards the boat. + +They saw a man and a woman waving at them from the deck. They had big smiles and friendly eyes. They threw a rope ladder down for the twins to climb up. + +"Hello, little ones! We are Sam and Anna, and we are sailing around the world. We are happy to see you. Do you live here?" Sam asked. + +"Yes, we do. We live in that house over there with our mom and dad. We come to the beach every day. We love the sea. It is fun and beautiful," Lily said. + +"You are very lucky to live here. The sea is a wonderful place to explore and learn. We have seen many amazing things on our journey. Would you like to see some of them?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, please!" Ben said. "What do you have?" + +Sam and Anna showed them some shells, stones, and feathers they had collected from different places.

She liked honey on her toast. She wanted to see the bee closer. She walked to the flower and leaned in. + +"Be careful, Anna," mom said. "Bees can sting you if they feel scared. They don't like it when you touch them." + +Anna did not listen. She reached out her hand to touch the bee. But the bee did not like that. It flew up and buzzed angrily. Then it stung Anna on her finger. + +"Ow!" Anna cried. She ran back to mom, holding her finger. "It hurts, mom, it hurts!" + +Mom hugged Anna and looked at her finger. She saw a little red bump. She took out a band-aid from her bag and put it on Anna's finger. + +"It's okay, Anna," mom said. "The bee was just trying to protect itself. It did not mean to hurt you. You have to be compassionate to the bees. They are important for the flowers and the honey." + +Anna sniffed. She looked at the bee, still on the daisy. She felt sorry for the bee. She did not want to hurt it either. + +"I'm sorry, bee," Anna said. "I won't touch you again. You can make honey and be happy." + +The bee seemed to notice Anna's words. It flew away from the flower and buzzed around Anna's head. Then it landed on her band-aid and rubbed its legs. It was like saying thank you. + +Anna smiled. She felt better.

Thank you for helping me. And sorry, goose. I hope you are okay." He waved to the goose and followed the lady. He still liked to collect things, but he never tried to collect living beings again. He learned to be kind and respectful to all creatures. +Ben and Mia like to play with puzzles. They have many puzzles with animals, cars, and flowers. Ben's favorite puzzle is the one with the fierce lion. He likes to roar like the lion when he finishes the puzzle. + +One day, Ben and Mia are playing with puzzles in their room. Ben sees the lion puzzle on the shelf and wants to play with it. He asks Mia, "Can I have the lion puzzle, please?" + +Mia shakes her head. "No, Ben. I want to play with the lion puzzle. You can play with the car puzzle." + +Ben feels sad and angry. He really wants the lion puzzle. He says, "No, Mia. I asked first. Give me the lion puzzle, now!" + +Mia holds the lion puzzle tight. She says, "No, Ben. You are being mean. The lion puzzle is mine!" + +Ben and Mia start to fight over the puzzle. They pull and tug and shout. The puzzle breaks into pieces. They both cry. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the room. She sees the broken puzzle and the crying children. She says, "What happened here? Why are you fighting?" + +Ben and Mia tell Mom what happened. They both say they wanted the lion puzzle. They both say they asked for it. + +Mom says, "You both made a mistake. You did not request the puzzle. You demanded the puzzle. Requesting is asking nicely and waiting for an answer. Demanding is asking rudely and not listening to the other person. Requesting is kind. Demanding is not." + +Ben and Mia feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not request the puzzle. We demanded the puzzle. We were not kind. We were not good friends." + +Mom says, "It's okay. I forgive you. But you have to learn to request and not demand. And you have to learn to share and take turns. Sharing and taking turns are also kind and good." + +Ben and Mia nod. They say, "We will learn to request and not demand. We will learn to share and take turns. We will be kind and good." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. I'm proud of you. Now, let's fix the puzzle together. And then you can play with it together. And then you can play with another puzzle together. And then you can have a snack together. And then you can hug each other and say, 'I love you.'" + +Ben and Mia smile. They say, "Okay, Mom. Thank you, Mom. We love you, Mom." + +They fix the puzzle together. They play with it together. They play with another puzzle together. They have a snack together. They hug each other and say, "I love you." They are happy. +Tim and Jen like to play with boats. They have many boats of different colors and sizes. They put them in a big tub of water and pretend it is a harbor. They make sounds like horns and waves and have fun. + +One day, Tim has a new idea. He says to Jen, "Let's improve our harbor. Let's make it bigger and better. We can use more water and more things to make it look real." Jen likes the idea and nods. + +They get more water from the tap and fill another tub. They also find some rocks, sticks, and shells to make the harbor more interesting. They arrange them around the tubs and make a bridge with a cardboard box. They move their boats to the new harbor and admire their work. + +They play with their improved harbor for a long time. They make up stories about the boats and the people who use them. They have fun and laugh a lot. They are very happy with their harbor. + +But after a while, they start to feel tired. They yawn and rub their eyes. They say to each other, "We had a good time, but now we are tired. Let's clean up and go to bed." They put their boats and the other things back where they belong. They dry the tubs and the floor. They hug each other and say good night. They go to their rooms and fall asleep. They dream of their harbor and their boats. +Lily liked to read books. She had many books in her room. She read books about animals, and books about colors, and books about shapes. She learned new words from books. + +One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, it is time to quit reading and go outside. You need to play and run and have fun. That is healthy for you." + +Lily did not want to quit reading. She said, "No, mom, I want to read more books. Books are fun. Books are healthy for my brain." + +Mom said, "Books are good, but you need to balance them with other things. You can read more books later, but now you need some fresh air and exercise. Come on, Lily, let's go to the park. Maybe we can see some animals there." + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked animals. She liked the park. She said, "OK, mom, I will quit reading for now. But can I bring one book with me?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Sure, Lily, you can bring one book with you. But you have to promise to play and run and have fun, too." + +Lily nodded and said, "I promise, mom. Thank you for letting me bring one book." + +Lily and mom went to the park. Lily saw some birds, and some dogs, and some squirrels. She played and ran and had fun. She also read her book a little bit. She was happy and healthy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were kings and queens. They made a palace with sticks and leaves. They put a crown on Lily's head and a cape on Ben's back. + +"Look at our palace!" Lily said. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben said. "We are the best rulers ever!" + +They played for a long time. They had tea and cake. They made laws and gave orders. They had fun. + +But then, a big wind came. It blew the leaves away. It made the sticks fall. It ruined their palace. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "Our palace is gone!" + +Ben was sad too. He saw a match on the ground. He had an idea. He picked it up and lit it. He wanted to make a fire. He thought it would be fun. + +He threw the match on the sticks. They caught fire. They made a big flame. They burned. + +"Wow!" Ben said. "Look at the fire! It is so bright and warm!" + +But Lily was scared. She saw the fire. She smelled the smoke. She heard the crackle. She did not like it. + +"Ben, stop!" Lily said. "The fire is bad! It is dangerous! It can hurt us!" + +But Ben did not listen. He threw another match on the fire. He made it bigger. He laughed. + +Lily ran away. She found their mom. She told her what Ben did. She was worried. + +Mom was angry. She ran to the garden. She saw the fire. She saw Ben. She grabbed a bucket of water. She threw it on the fire. She put it out. + +She scolded Ben. She told him he was naughty. She told him he could have burned himself or Lily or the house. She told him he had to say sorry. + +Ben was ashamed. He saw what he did. He saw the black sticks. He saw the wet leaves. He saw Lily's tears. He felt sorry. + +He hugged Lily. He said sorry. He said he was silly. He said he would not do it again. + +Lily hugged him back. She said it was okay. She said she forgave him. She said she still loved him. + +Mom hugged them both. She said she was glad they were safe. She said she loved them too. She said they could make another palace. But not with fire. +Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair and a pink dress. Sara liked to comb Lily's hair and make her look pretty. + +One day, Sara went to the park with her mom and Lily. She saw a girl on the swings. The girl had a doll too. Her doll had short hair and a blue dress. Sara wanted to be friends with the girl and her doll. + +She walked over to the girl and said, "Hi, I'm Sara. This is Lily. She is my doll. What is your name? What is your doll's name?" + +The girl smiled and said, "Hi, Sara. I'm Mia. This is Zoe. She is my doll. She likes fashion. She has many clothes and shoes." + +Sara said, "Wow, Zoe is very pretty. Lily likes fashion too. She has a pink dress and a hat. Can we play together?" + +Mia said, "Yes, we can. You are very kind. Do you want to swing with us?" + +Sara said, "Yes, I do. Thank you, Mia. You are very kind too." + +Sara and Mia became friends. They introduced their dolls to each other. They played on the swings and talked about fashion. They had a lot of fun. Sara was happy. She had a new friend and a new doll friend. +Sara and Ben like to play pirates. They have a big box that is their ship. They use a stick as a sword and a scarf as a hat. They pretend to sail on the sea and look for treasure. + +One day, they find a shiny thing in the sand. It is an anchor. Sara says, "This is our treasure! We can use it to stop our ship." Ben says, "No, this is my treasure! I found it first." They both want the anchor. They start to pull and tug on it. + +"Give it to me!" Sara says. "No, it is mine!" Ben says. They get angry and shout. Sara slaps Ben on the arm. Ben slaps Sara on the cheek. They both cry and drop the anchor. + +A man sees them and comes over. He is the owner of the anchor. He says, "What are you doing with my anchor? This is not a toy. This is for my boat." He picks up the anchor and walks away. + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry and silly. They say, "I'm sorry" and "Me too". They hug and make up. They decide to play something else. They think pirates are not so funny after all. +Today is Anna's birthday. She is very happy. She has a big cake with candles and a pink dress. She invites her friends to come and play with her. She includes everyone, even Tom who is shy and quiet. + +"Hello, Tom. Do you want to play with me?" Anna asks. + +Tom nods and smiles. He likes Anna. She is kind and friendly. He follows her to the garden, where there are balloons and toys. + +Anna and Tom play with the balloons. They blow them up and let them go. They make funny noises and laugh. They also play with the toys. They have a tea party with the dolls and a race with the cars. They have fun. + +Soon, it is time for the cake. Anna's mom calls them inside. They sit around the table and sing "Happy Birthday" to Anna. Anna blows out the candles and makes a wish. She wishes for more friends like Tom. + +Anna's mom cuts the cake and gives everyone a slice. The cake is yummy. It has chocolate and cream and strawberries. Anna and Tom share their cake and talk. They feel comfortable with each other. + +"Thank you for coming to my birthday, Tom. You are a good friend," Anna says. + +"Thank you for inviting me, Anna. You are a good friend, too," Tom says. + +They hug and smile. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily was a little girl who liked to taste new things. She liked to taste sweet things, like cake and candy. She liked to taste sour things, like lemon and grape. She liked to taste salty things, like chips and cheese. But she did not like to taste bitter things, like coffee and broccoli. + +One day, Lily saw a yellow cat in her garden. The cat had a long tail that moved up and down. Lily thought the cat was pretty and wanted to play with it. She ran after the cat and tried to catch it. The cat did not like that and ran away. Lily followed the cat until it hid under a bush. + +Lily reached under the bush and grabbed the cat's tail. She pulled the tail out and looked at it. She wondered how the tail would taste. She opened her mouth and bit the tail. + +"Ow!" the cat said. "That hurts! Let go of my tail!" + +Lily let go of the tail and said, "Sorry, cat. I wanted to taste your tail. I thought it would be yummy." + +The cat said, "No, my tail is not yummy. It is furry and ouchy. You should not taste my tail. You should taste something else." + +Lily said, "Like what?" + +The cat said, "Like milk. Milk is yummy and good for you. It makes you strong and happy. Do you have milk in your house?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I have milk in my house. Do you want some milk, cat?" + +The cat said, "Yes, please. I like milk. Can I come with you?" + +Lily said, "Sure, cat. You can come with me. But you have to be nice and not scratch me." + +The cat said, "OK, I will be nice and not scratch you. But you have to be nice and not bite me." + +Lily said, "OK, I will be nice and not bite you. But you have to tell me your name." + +The cat said, "My name is Sunny. What is your name?" + +Lily said, "My name is Lily. Come on, Sunny. Let's go get some milk." + +Lily and Sunny went to Lily's house and drank some milk. They became friends and played together. Lily learned not to taste tails and Sunny learned to trust Lily. They had a lot of fun and were happy. The end. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the garden. They planted seeds and watered them. They wanted to see the seeds grow into flowers. + +One day, Tom said to Lily, "I have a big idea. When we grow up, we can be husband and wife. We can live in a house with a big garden. We can grow many flowers and share them with everyone." + +Lily smiled and said, "That sounds nice. But we have to be humble. We have to be kind and helpful to others. We have to say thank you and sorry. We have to share and care." + +Tom nodded and said, "You are right. Humble is good. I will be a humble husband and you will be a humble wife. We will be happy together." + +They hugged and went back to their seeds. They hoped they would grow up and make their big idea come true. +Sara has a baby brother. His name is Ben. Ben is unique. He has red hair and blue eyes. Sara likes to help mom feed Ben. She holds the bottle and sings to him. + +One day, Sara and mom go to the park. They see a lady with a baby. The baby has black hair and brown eyes. Sara thinks the baby is cute. She says to the lady, "Can I feed your baby?" + +The lady smiles and says, "No, thank you. My baby only drinks milk from me. He is not ready for a bottle yet." + +Sara is confused. She asks, "Why not? Ben drinks from a bottle. He likes it." + +The lady explains, "Different babies have different needs. Some babies drink from bottles, some drink from their moms, some drink from cups. All babies are unique and special." + +Sara nods. She understands. She says, "Ben is unique and special. So is your baby. Can I say hi to your baby?" + +The lady says, "Sure. His name is Leo. He likes to smile and coo." + +Sara and Leo become friends. They play and laugh together. Sara is happy. She likes to meet unique and special babies. +Sara and Tom 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 sit on the bench and eat their snacks. + +One day, Sara brought a lovely orange for her snack. She peeled it and broke it into pieces. She gave one piece to Tom and said, "Here, try this. It is sweet and juicy." + +Tom took the piece and put it in his mouth. He made a funny face and spat it out. "Yuck! This is sour and bitter. I don't like it." + +Sara was surprised. She liked oranges very much. She took another piece and squeezed it. A drop of juice came out and she licked it. "Mmm, this is delicious. How can you not like it?" + +Tom shook his head. He did not like oranges at all. He liked bananas better. He took out a banana from his bag and peeled it. He broke it in half and gave one half to Sara. "Here, try this. It is soft and sweet." + +Sara took the half and bit it. She smiled and nodded. "This is good. I like bananas too. Thank you, Tom." + +Tom smiled back. He was glad that Sara liked his snack. He said, "You're welcome, Sara. We can share our snacks.

They loved each other. +Sam and Mia liked to play with their toy boats in the bathtub. They pretended they were sailors and went on adventures. They made waves with their hands and splashed water everywhere. + +"Look, my boat is faster than yours!" Sam said to Mia. + +"No, mine is faster! Watch this!" Mia said and pushed her boat hard. + +But she pushed too hard and her boat flew out of the bathtub and landed on the floor. It made a loud noise and broke into pieces. + +"Oh no, my boat!" Mia cried. + +"Mia, what was that noise?" Mom asked from outside the door. + +Sam and Mia looked at each other. They saw the water on the floor and the broken boat. They knew they had made a big mess. + +"Sorry, Mom, we were playing with our boats and Mia's boat broke," Sam said. + +Mom opened the door and saw the mess. She was not happy. + +"Sam, Mia, you know you are not supposed to sail your boats so hard in the bathtub. You could hurt yourselves or damage the floor. And look at this mess! You need to clean it up right now," Mom said. + +Sam and Mia felt bad. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They helped Mom clean up the water and the broken boat. They learned to be more careful when they played with their boats. They still liked to sail, but they did it gently and quietly. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy animals in the garden. They liked to pretend they were in the jungle and make noises like the animals. Lily had a big lion and Ben had a small monkey. + +"Roar!" Lily said, making her lion jump on the grass. "I am the king of the jungle. All the animals are afraid of me." + +"Ooh-ooh-ah-ah!" Ben said, making his monkey swing from a branch. "I am not afraid of you. I am fast and smart. You are clumsy and loud." + +Lily did not like that. She wanted to show Ben that her lion was better than his monkey. She made her lion chase the monkey around the tree. Ben made his monkey dodge and climb. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, Lily's lion tripped over a rock and fell on the ground. It made a loud thud and a sad meow. Lily felt sorry for her lion. She picked it up and hugged it. + +"Are you okay, lion?" she asked. "You are not clumsy. You are brave and strong." + +Ben saw that Lily was sad. He felt sorry for her too. He brought his monkey over and gave it to Lily. + +"Here, you can play with my monkey," he said. "He is not fast and smart. He is silly and friendly." + +Lily smiled and thanked Ben. She gave him her lion. They swapped their toy animals and played together. They made different noises and had more fun. + +They learned that it was nice to share and be kind. They also learned that all animals were good in their own way. They did not need to roar or start a fight. They could be friends and have fun. +Daisy was a lonely cow. She lived on a big farm with many other cows, but they did not like to play with her. They said she was too slow and too quiet. Daisy wished she had a friend who would keep her company and make her happy. + +One day, Daisy saw a little girl walking on the road near the farm. The girl had a red dress and a yellow hat. She was holding a basket full of flowers. Daisy thought the girl was very pretty and kind. She mooed softly to get her attention. + +The girl heard Daisy and looked at her. She smiled and walked towards the fence. She said, "Hello, cow. What is your name?" + +Daisy mooed again and nodded her head. She hoped the girl would understand her. + +The girl said, "I think your name is Daisy. You have a white spot on your nose that looks like a daisy. You are a very beautiful cow. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Daisy felt a warm feeling in her heart. She licked the girl's hand and nodded again. She wanted to be her friend very much. + +The girl said, "I am Anna. I live in the town with my grandma. I come here every week to pick flowers for her. She loves flowers. Do you like flowers, Daisy?" + +Daisy nodded again. She liked flowers, especially daisies. They were her favorite. + +The girl said, "I have an idea. Why don't I give you some of my flowers? You can keep them in your barn and look at them every day. They will make you happy and remind you of me. And I will come back next week and bring you more. How does that sound, Daisy?" + +Daisy mooed loudly and wagged her tail. She loved the idea. She thought Anna was the best friend she ever had. She reached her head over the fence and nuzzled the girl's cheek. She thanked her for the flowers and for being her friend. + +The girl hugged Daisy and said, "You are very welcome, Daisy. You are my friend too. I will see you soon. Goodbye, Daisy." + +The girl gave Daisy some of her flowers and put them in her basket. She waved to Daisy and walked away. Daisy watched her until she disappeared from sight. Then she turned around and trotted to her barn. She found a cozy spot and laid down. She looked at the flowers and smiled. She was not lonely anymore. She had a friend. +Lily likes to collect things. She has a box of rocks, a jar of shells, and a bag of stickers. She likes to look at them and show them to her friends. One day, she goes to the zoo with her mom and dad. She sees many animals that she has never seen before. + +"Look, mom, a big gray thing with a long nose!" she says, pointing at an elephant. + +"That's an elephant, Lily. It can use its nose to pick up things and spray water," her mom says. + +"Wow, can I have one?" Lily asks. + +"No, sweetie, elephants are too big and need a lot of space and food. They belong in the zoo or in the wild, not in our house," her mom says. + +Lily nods, but she still thinks elephants are cool. She sees more animals, like monkeys, lions, and giraffes. She likes them all, but her favorite is the flamingo. It is a bird with long legs and a curved neck. It is pink, like her dress and her shoes. + +"Look, dad, a pink bird!" she says, running to the fence. + +"That's a flamingo, Lily. It is pink because of the food it eats, like shrimp and algae," her dad says. + +"Can I feed it?" Lily asks. + +"No, sweetie, we can't feed the animals. They have their own special food that the zookeepers give them. Feeding them other things might make them sick," her dad says. + +Lily nods, but she still wants to be friends with the flamingo. She waves at it and says hello. The flamingo looks at her and makes a honking sound. Lily laughs and claps her hands. She thinks the flamingo likes her too. + +She asks her mom to take a picture of her and the flamingo. She wants to put it in her box of rocks, next to her favorite rock that is also pink. She thinks it will be a nice memory of her trip to the zoo. She loves to collect things, but she also loves to see new things. She wonders what she will see next. +Lily and Tom were young and liked to play. They had a big bag with toys and books and snacks. They wanted to go to the park and have fun. + +"Let's pack our bag and go," Lily said to Tom. + +"OK, what do we need?" Tom asked. + +"We need our ball, our teddy, our book, our juice and our cookies," Lily said. + +They put everything in the bag and zipped it up. They put on their hats and shoes and went outside. They held hands and walked to the park. + +At the park, they saw a fire. It was big and red and hot. It was burning some trees and grass. They heard sirens and saw firemen. The firemen had hoses and trucks and helmets. They sprayed water on the fire and tried to put it out. + +"Wow, look at the fire," Tom said. + +"It's scary, I don't like it," Lily said. + +"Me neither, let's go away," Tom said. + +They grabbed their bag and ran away from the fire. They found a bench and sat down. They opened their bag and took out their book. They read the book and felt better. They forgot about the fire and had fun. +Lily and Max were excited to play hide and seek in the big house. They ran up the stairs and looked for good places to hide. Lily saw a bookcase with many books and toys on it. She thought it was a perfect spot to hide behind. She moved some books and toys and made a small space for herself. She crawled in and covered herself with a soft blanket. + +Max counted to ten and shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" He searched for Lily in every room. He looked under the beds, behind the curtains, in the closets, but he could not find her. He wondered where she was hiding. He went back to the hall and saw the bookcase. He thought it looked a little different. He walked closer and saw a blanket sticking out. He smiled and pulled the blanket. + +"Found you!" he said. + +Lily giggled and came out of the bookcase. She hugged Max and said, "You are good at finding me!" + +Max hugged her back and said, "You are good at hiding! Do you want to play again?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, let's play again! But this time, I will find you!" + +They ran downstairs and started a new game of hide and seek. They had a lot of fun in the big house. +Sara and Ben are best friends. They like to play outside and look for animals. One day, they go to the pond near their house. They see some ducks and frogs in the water. + +"Look, Sara, a duck!" Ben says. He points to a big white duck with a yellow beak. "Can we feed it?" + +Sara nods. She has some bread in her pocket. She breaks a piece and throws it to the duck. The duck swims to the bread and eats it. It makes a loud quack. + +"Quack, quack!" Sara and Ben say. They laugh and clap their hands. + +They throw more bread to the duck and its friends. The ducks are happy and come closer to the shore. Sara and Ben sit on the grass and watch them. + +Suddenly, they hear a splash. They turn around and see a big dog running to the pond. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and a wet nose. It barks and jumps into the water. + +"Hey, stop!" Sara and Ben shout. They are scared. The dog is too big and loud. It scares the ducks and the frogs. They swim away and hide. + +The dog does not listen. It chases the ducks and the frogs. It shakes its head and sprays water everywhere. It makes a mess. + +Sara and Ben are angry. They stand up and wave their arms. They want the dog to go away. + +"Go away, dog!" Sara says. "You are not nice. You are not reliable. You ruin our fun." + +The dog stops and looks at them. It tilts its head and wags its tail. It does not understand. It thinks they want to play. + +It swims to the shore and runs to them. It licks their faces and jumps on them. It knocks them down and rolls on the grass. + +Sara and Ben are wet and dirty. They are not happy. They push the dog away and run to their house. They leave the pond and the bread behind. + +The dog is confused. It does not know why they are mad. It likes the pond and the bread. It stays and plays by itself. It is happy. +Anna and Ben love to play in the garden. They like to see the flowers bloom. They like to smell the sweet air. They like to make structures with sticks and stones. + +One day, they see a large structure in the garden. It is not made of sticks and stones. It is made of metal and plastic. It has wheels and a door. It looks like a car, but bigger. + +"Wow, what is that?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. Let's go and see," Ben says. + +They run to the large structure. They peek inside the door. They see seats and buttons and a steering wheel. They see a man sitting in the driver's seat. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like my structure?" he asks. + +"Yes, it is very nice. What is it?" Anna asks. + +"It is a truck. I use it to carry things. Today, I am carrying some flowers to the market. Do you want to see them?" he asks. + +"Yes, please!" Ben says. + +The man opens the back of the truck. He shows them many boxes of flowers. They are all different colors and shapes. They are all blooming. + +"Wow, they are beautiful!" Anna says. + +"They are. Do you want to have one?" the man asks. + +"Really? Can we?" Ben asks. + +"Sure. You can choose one each. They are a gift for being so curious and polite," the man says. + +Anna and Ben thank the man. They choose their favorite flowers. Anna picks a pink rose. Ben picks a yellow sunflower. They hold them in their hands. They smell them. They smile. + +They say goodbye to the man and his truck. They run back to their structures. They put their flowers in them. They pretend they are drivers too. They have fun in the garden. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend they were superheroes and villains. Sara was the good one and Ben was the bad one. Ben had a mask and a cape and Sara had a crown and a wand. + +"Stop, bad guy!" Sara said. "You have to pay for what you did!" + +"What did I do?" Ben asked. + +"You stole the candy from the store and made the people sad!" Sara said. + +"No, I didn't!" Ben said. "You are lying!" + +They were having fun, but they did not hear the loud noise outside. It was a tornado. A big, enormous tornado. It was spinning and roaring and breaking things. It was coming closer and closer to their house. + +Suddenly, their mom came into the living room. She looked scared and worried. She grabbed Sara and Ben and hugged them. + +"Kids, we have to go to the basement now!" she said. "There is a tornado outside and it is very dangerous!" + +"A tornado?" Sara and Ben said. They did not know what a tornado was. They had never seen one before. + +"Yes, a tornado. It is like a big, angry wind that can hurt us. We have to hide from it. Come on, hurry!" their mom said. + +She took them to the basement and closed the door. They heard the tornado getting louder and louder. They felt the house shaking and trembling. They were scared, but they had each other. They held hands and hoped the tornado would go away soon. They did not want to play superheroes and villains anymore. They just wanted to be safe. +Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily liked to play on the swings and the slide. Mom liked to sit on the bench and read her book. She had a big purse with many things inside. + +One day, a boy came to the park. He saw mom's purse on the bench. He was curious and ignorant. He did not know that it was wrong to take things that did not belong to him. He grabbed the purse and ran away. + +Mom saw the boy and shouted, "Hey, stop! That is my purse! Give it back!" She ran after the boy. Lily saw mom and was scared. She did not want to lose mom. She called, "Mom, mom, where are you going?" + +The boy heard mom and Lily. He felt guilty and afraid. He did not want to make mom and Lily sad. He stopped and turned around. He said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Here is your purse. I was just looking. Please don't be mad at me." + +Mom took her purse and checked if everything was there. She was angry and relieved. She said, "Thank you for giving it back, but you should never do that again. That is stealing and stealing is bad. How would you feel if someone took your things?" + +The boy looked down and nodded. He said, "I know, I know. I feel bad. I won't do it again. I'm sorry." He ran away to his home. + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, honey. We have our purse and we are safe. Let's go back to the swings and have fun." Lily smiled and said, "Okay, mom. I love you." Mom said, "I love you too." They went back to the swings and had fun. +Lily was an enthusiastic kid who loved to play with her toys. She had a big box of dolls, cars, animals and blocks. She liked to make up stories and adventures with them. One day, she decided to play with her fire truck and her teddy bear. + +She put the fire truck on the floor and the teddy bear on the couch. She pretended that the couch was a building on fire and the teddy bear was a kid who needed help. She said, "Oh no, there is a fire! I have to save the kid!" + +She ran to the fire truck and grabbed the hose. She made a sound like water and sprayed the couch. She said, "Shhh, shhh, shhh, I am putting out the fire!" She climbed on the couch and reached for the teddy bear. She said, "Don't worry, kid, I am here to save you!" + +She hugged the teddy bear and lifted it up. She said, "You are safe now, kid, you are brave!" She jumped off the couch and put the teddy bear on the fire truck. She said, "Let's go to the hospital and check if you are okay!" + +She drove the fire truck around the room and made a sound like a siren. She said, "Woo, woo, woo, I am a fire fighter!" She was happy and proud. She had saved the kid. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and blocks. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. They yell and pull and push each other. + +One day, their mom is very tired. She has to work a lot on her computer. She tells Ben and Sam to play quietly in their room. She goes to her office and closes the door. + +Ben and Sam try to play nicely. But soon they see a big red car on the shelf. They both want it. They run to the shelf and grab the car. They start to fight. + +"Give me the car! It's mine!" Ben says. + +"No, it's mine! I saw it first!" Sam says. + +They tug and twist the car. They make a lot of noise. + +Their mom hears them. She opens the door and looks at them. She is angry and sad. + +"Ben and Sam, stop fighting! You are making me very unhappy. You are not being good brothers. You are not sharing. You are not listening. You are not helping me work. You are making me more tired. How would you feel if I took your toys and fought with you?" she says. + +Ben and Sam look at their mom. They see her tired eyes and frown. They feel sorry. They drop the car. They hug their mom. + +"We are sorry, mom. We love you. We don't want to make you unhappy. We want to be good brothers. We want to share. We want to listen. We want to help you work. We don't want to make you more tired." they say. + +Their mom smiles and hugs them back. + +"Thank you, Ben and Sam. I love you too. You are good boys. You make me happy. You can play with the car together. But please play quietly. I have to finish my work. Then we can have some fun." she says. + +Ben and Sam nod and say okay. They take the car and go to their room. They play with the car together. They take turns and say nice things. They make no noise. + +Their mom goes back to her office and closes the door. She works on her computer. She feels less tired. She feels proud of her boys. She looks forward to having some fun with them. +One day, Tom and Anna went to the park with their mom. They saw a big pile of leaves that someone had raked. Tom and Anna wanted to play with the leaves. They ran to the pile and jumped on it. The leaves flew in the air and scattered everywhere. + +"Look, mom, we made a mess!" Tom said, laughing. + +Mom was not happy. She said, "Tom and Anna, you should not scatter the leaves. Someone worked hard to rake them. Now they have to do it again. That is not nice." + +Tom and Anna felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We just wanted to have fun." + +Mom said, "I know, but you have to think of others. Come, let's help pick up the leaves and put them back in the pile. Maybe we can find a useful way to use them." + +Tom and Anna agreed. They helped mom pick up the leaves and put them back in the pile. As they did, they saw a small flame in the corner of the park. It was a fire pit where some people were roasting marshmallows. + +"Mom, can we go see the fire?" Anna asked. + +Mom said, "Yes, but be careful. Fire is hot and can hurt you. Stay close to me and do not touch the flame." + +Tom and Anna nodded. They followed mom to the fire pit. They saw the people with sticks and marshmallows. The people smiled and offered them some. + +"Thank you!" Tom and Anna said. + +They took the sticks and marshmallows and held them over the fire. They watched as the marshmallows turned brown and gooey. They blew on them and ate them. They were sweet and yummy. + +"Mom, this is a useful way to use the fire!" Tom said. + +Mom said, "Yes, it is. Fire can be useful, but also dangerous. You have to be respectful and careful with it." + +Tom and Anna said, "We understand, mom. We are respectful and careful." + +They thanked the people and said goodbye. They went back to mom's car and drove home. They had learned a lot that day. They had learned not to scatter the leaves, to be nice to others, and to be respectful and careful with fire. They had also had fun and eaten yummy marshmallows. They were happy and tired. They fell asleep in the car, dreaming of leaves and flames. +Anna loves chocolate. She likes to eat it and play with it. One day, she finds a big bar of chocolate in the kitchen. She is very happy. She breaks off a piece and puts it in her mouth. It is sweet and yummy. + +She wants to share it with her teddy bear. She breaks off another piece and holds it in her hand. She walks to her room, where her teddy bear is waiting on the bed. She says, "Look, teddy, I have chocolate for you. Do you want some?" + +She puts the chocolate on the teddy's nose. But the chocolate does not stay there. It starts to melt. It is warm and sticky. It drips down the teddy's fur. Anna is surprised. She says, "Oh no, teddy, what happened to your chocolate?" + +She tries to wipe off the chocolate with her hand. But it only makes it worse. The chocolate smears all over the teddy's face and ears. Anna is sad. She says, "I'm sorry, teddy, I made a mess. How can I clean you?" + +She thinks for a moment. She remembers that her mommy uses a cloth to clean things. She runs to the bathroom and finds a cloth. She wets it with water and brings it back to her room. She says, "Don't worry, teddy, I have a cloth. I will rub you and make you clean." + +She rubs the cloth on the teddy's nose, face and ears. She rubs hard and gently. She rubs until the chocolate is gone. The teddy looks clean and fluffy again. Anna is happy. She says, "There, teddy, you are clean now. I love you. Do you still love me?" + +The teddy does not say anything. But Anna knows he loves her. She hugs him and kisses him. She says, "You are my best friend, teddy. Next time, I will not give you chocolate. I will give you something else. Maybe a carrot or a cookie. Do you like that?" + +The teddy does not say anything. But Anna knows he likes that. She smiles and cuddles with him. She says, "You are warm and soft, teddy. You make me feel good. Let's take a nap together. Good night, teddy." + +The end. +Lily and Ben were very hungry. They saw a big cake on the table. It looked yummy. They wanted to eat it. + +"Let's have some cake," Ben said. + +"But Mom said we have to wait for dinner," Lily said. + +"Mom won't know. Just a little bit," Ben said. + +They took a knife and cut a big slice of cake. They ate it very fast. It was sweet and soft. They liked it. + +But soon they felt sick. Their tummies hurt. They felt heavy. They did not want to play anymore. + +Mom came home and saw the cake. She was angry. + +"Who ate the cake?" she asked. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They were scared. They did not want to lie. They did not want to make Mom sad. + +"We did, Mom. We're sorry," they said. + +Mom sighed. She was not happy. + +"You should not eat cake before dinner. It is not good for you. Now you have no room for your meal. And you wasted the cake. It was for Grandma's birthday," she said. + +Lily and Ben felt bad. They regretted eating the cake. They wished they had listened to Mom. + +They hugged Mom and said they were sorry again. They said they loved her and Grandma. + +Mom hugged them back. She said she loved them too. She said they could have some soup for dinner. And maybe a little bit of cake later, if Grandma agreed. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They hoped Grandma would not be mad. They hoped the soup would make them feel better. They hoped the cake would still be yummy. +Anna and Ben like to visit their grandma. She lives in a small house with a big garden. They can play with the flowers, the birds and the cat. Grandma always has yummy cookies and milk for them. + +One day, they find a secret place under the porch. It is dark and tight, but they can crawl inside. They see a box with old toys and books. They want to look at them, but they hear a noise. + +"Who is there?" a voice asks. It is not grandma's voice. It is deep and scary. + +Anna and Ben are afraid. They hold each other and whisper. + +"Maybe it is a monster," Anna says. + +"Or a robber," Ben says. + +They want to run away, but they are stuck. They cannot move. + +"Help, help!" they shout. + +Grandma hears them and comes to the porch. She sees their feet under the porch and smiles. + +"Don't worry, my dears," she says. "It is only me. I was cleaning the basement and I heard you. Come out, come out. There is no monster or robber here. Only grandma and some old things." + +She helps them out and hugs them. They are happy to see her. They tell her about the box and the toys and the books. + +"Those are my things from when I was a little girl," she says. "Do you want to see them?" + +"Yes, please," Anna and Ben say. + +They go inside the house and sit on the couch. Grandma opens the box and shows them the things. They see a doll, a car, a ball, a book and a hat. They play with them and listen to grandma's stories. They have a lot of fun. + +They forget about the scary voice and the tight place. They are glad they visited their grandma. She is the best. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They have a big stick that they pretend is a staff. They use it to shoot magic at the trees and the birds. They have a lot of fun. + +"Look, Ben, I can shoot a rainbow!" Anna says. She waves the staff and makes a bright arc in the air. + +"Wow, Anna, that is amazing!" Ben says. He claps his hands. He wants to try too. He takes the staff from Anna and points it at a cloud. "I can shoot a thunder!" He says. + +But nothing happens. He tries again and again, but the staff does not work for him. He feels sad and angry. He throws the staff on the ground. "This staff is bad! It does not like me!" He says. + +Anna picks up the staff and hugs it. She feels sorry for Ben. She knows he is her friend and he just wants to play. She has an idea. She gives the staff back to Ben and smiles. "Maybe the staff needs a magic word. Why don't you say 'please' and see what happens?" She says. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He likes Anna and he trusts her. He takes the staff and says "Please, staff, can you shoot a thunder for me?" He waits and hopes. + +Suddenly, a loud boom echoes in the sky. A flash of lightning streaks across the cloud. Ben and Anna look up and see a thunder. They are both amazed and happy. They laugh and hug each other. They thank the staff and keep playing. They are the best friends ever. +Lily and Ben wanted to help Mom and Dad with the leaves in the yard. They asked if they could use the rake. Mom said yes, but be careful. The rake was old and cheap. Some of the teeth were broken and the handle was loose. + +Lily and Ben took turns with the rake. They made a big pile of leaves. Then they jumped in it and laughed. They threw leaves at each other and had fun. But then, the rake broke. The handle snapped and the teeth fell off. Lily and Ben were sad and scared. They did not want Mom and Dad to be mad. + +They ran to the house and told Mom and Dad what happened. Mom and Dad looked at the rake. They were not mad. They hugged Lily and Ben and said it was okay. The rake was old and cheap. They could get a new one. They said Lily and Ben did a good job with the leaves. They said they were proud of them. + +Lily and Ben felt happy and relieved. They said sorry for breaking the rake. They said thank you for the hug. They asked if they could still play in the leaves. Mom and Dad said yes, but be careful. They gave them a big smile and a kiss. Lily and Ben ran back to the yard and played in the leaves. They had fun. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They heard a loud noise from upstairs. It sounded like a big bang and a growl. + +"What was that?" Anna asked, feeling scared. + +"I don't know. Maybe it's a monster!" Ben said, grabbing his teddy bear. + +They looked at each other and decided to hurry upstairs and see what it was. They ran to the stairs and climbed them as fast as they could. They hoped their mom and dad were okay. + +When they reached the top of the stairs, they saw a funny sight. Their mom and dad were lying on the floor, covered in feathers and pillows. Their big bed was broken and the sheets were torn. Their mom and dad looked at them and smiled. + +"Hi, kids. We're sorry for the noise. We were having a pillow fight and we got a little carried away. We didn't mean to scare you," their mom said. + +"A pillow fight?" Anna asked, feeling confused. + +"Yes, a pillow fight. It's when you hit each other with pillows for fun. It's not scary, it's silly," their dad said. + +"Can we join?" Ben asked, feeling curious. + +"Sure, why not? But be careful, the pillows are very soft and fluffy. They might tickle you," their mom said. + +Anna and Ben dropped their toys and ran to their mom and dad. They picked up some pillows and started to hit them gently. They laughed and giggled as the feathers flew around them. They forgot about the scary noise and had fun with their pillow fight. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They saw a caterpillar on a leaf. It was green and fuzzy. Lily wanted to touch it, but Max said no. + +"It might bite you," he said. "Or make you itch." + +Lily was sad. She liked the caterpillar. She wanted to be its friend. She had an idea. + +"Let's dance for it," she said. "Maybe it will like us then." + +Max agreed. He liked to dance. They put on some music on the radio. They danced in front of the caterpillar. They jumped and spun and clapped. They made funny faces and noises. The caterpillar watched them. It did not bite or itch. It seemed curious. + +Lily and Max danced and danced. They had fun. They forgot about everything else. They did not see the caterpillar change. It made a cocoon around itself. It closed its eyes. It was ready for a big change. + +The next day, Lily and Max came back to the garden. They looked for the caterpillar. They did not find it. They found something else. A butterfly. It was beautiful. It had wings of many colors. It was open and free. It flew around them. It landed on Lily's nose. It tickled her. She giggled. + +"Hello, butterfly," she said. "Are you our friend?" + +The butterfly nodded. It flapped its wings. It wanted to dance with them. Lily and Max smiled. They danced with the butterfly. They were happy. They had a new friend. +Tom likes to look at magazines. He likes the pictures of cars and animals and toys. He has many magazines in his room. He likes to open them and see what is inside. + +One day, he gets a new magazine in the mail. It is from his grandma. She lives far away. She likes to send him magazines and letters. Tom is happy. He runs to his room and opens the magazine. + +He sees a big picture of a train. He loves trains. He says, "Wow, look at this train! It is so fast and shiny. I want to ride it." + +He shows the picture to his mom. She smiles and says, "That is a nice train, Tom. Do you know what it is called?" + +Tom shakes his head. He does not know. He says, "No, mom. What is it called?" + +Mom says, "It is called a bullet train. It can go very fast. It is from Japan. That is a country far away from here. Grandma went there once. She told me about it." + +Tom says, "Japan? That sounds cool. Can we go there too, mom?" + +Mom says, "Maybe someday, Tom. But for now, we can learn about it from the magazine. Do you want to read it with me?" + +Tom nods. He says, "Yes, mom. I want to learn more. Thank you, grandma, for sending me this magazine. I love you." + +He hugs the magazine and his mom. They sit on the bed and read the magazine together. They see more pictures of trains and other things from Japan. They have fun and learn new words. Tom is happy. He likes magazines. +Lily liked to use her notebook. She drew pictures of her family, her friends, and her toys. She also wrote some words that she learned at school. She was very proud of her notebook. + +One day, she brought her notebook to school. She wanted to show her teacher and her classmates what she made. She thought they would like it too. She put her notebook on her desk and waited for the bell. + +But then, Jake saw her notebook. Jake was a popular boy. He had many friends and toys. He also liked to take things from other kids. He grabbed Lily's notebook and ran away. He laughed and said, "This is mine now!" + +Lily was very sad and angry. She wanted her notebook back. She ran after Jake and shouted, "Give me my notebook! That is not yours!" She tried to catch him, but he was too fast. + +Then, she saw Sam. Sam was Lily's best friend. He was kind and smart. He saw what Jake did and he wanted to help. He blocked Jake's way and said, "Stop, Jake! That is not nice! Give Lily her notebook back!" + +Jake was surprised and scared. He did not want to fight with Sam. He threw Lily's notebook on the floor and ran away. He said, "Fine, take it! I don't care!" + +Lily and Sam picked up the notebook. It was a bit dirty, but it was not broken. Lily hugged Sam and said, "Thank you, Sam! You are a good friend!" Sam smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily! I like your notebook. It is very pretty and cool!" + +Lily and Sam went back to their class. They showed their teacher and their classmates Lily's notebook. They all liked it and said, "Wow, Lily! You are very talented and creative!" Lily was very happy and said, "Thank you, everyone! I like to use my notebook. It is my favorite thing!" +Sara and Tom were very excited to see their aunt. She always brought them nice gifts and played with them. But this time, their aunt was very late. She called their mom and said she had a terrible headache and needed to rest. Sara and Tom were sad and bored. + +"Can we watch TV?" Tom asked. + +"No, you have to behave and do your homework," their mom said. + +"But it's so hard and boring!" Sara complained. + +Their mom sighed and said, "I know, but you have to finish it before your aunt comes. She will be very proud of you if you do." + +Sara and Tom did not want to make their aunt sad, so they tried to do their homework. But they did not understand some of the words and numbers. They started to argue and fight over the books and pencils. Their mom heard them and came to their room. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "You are making a lot of noise and mess. This is not how you behave. You have to be quiet and tidy." + +Sara and Tom felt ashamed and said they were sorry. They hugged their mom and asked her to help them with their homework. Their mom smiled and said she would help them, but they had to promise to be good and listen to her. + +They promised and their mom helped them. Soon, they finished their homework and put it in their backpacks. They were very happy and proud. They heard the doorbell and ran to the door. It was their aunt. She looked tired but happy to see them. + +"Hello, my sweeties!" she said. "I'm sorry I'm late. I have a terrible headache, but I brought you something to cheer you up." + +She gave them each a big hug and a wrapped box. Sara and Tom opened their boxes and saw that they had new toys. They were very excited and thanked their aunt. + +"You're welcome," their aunt said. "You are such good children. Your mom told me you did your homework and behaved very well. I'm very proud of you." + +Sara and Tom smiled and said they loved their aunt. They showed her their toys and asked her to play with them. Their aunt said she would, but first she needed to take some medicine and lie down for a bit. Their mom said she would make some tea and cookies for them. + +Sara and Tom said they would wait for their aunt and be quiet. They took their toys to their room and played nicely. They hoped their aunt would feel better soon and have fun with them. They were very happy to have such a nice aunt and mom. They decided to behave well and make them happy too. +Sara liked to help her mom cook. She liked to smell the food and taste the spices. One day, mom was making soup. She asked Sara to get the pepper from the shelf. + +Sara climbed on a chair and reached for the pepper. It was a pretty pepper. It was red and shiny and had a green stem. Sara wanted to play with it. She put it in her pocket and got another pepper for mom. + +Mom did not see Sara take the pepper. She thanked Sara and put the pepper in the soup. She let Sara stir the soup with a big spoon. Sara was happy. + +Later, Sara went to her room. She took out the pepper from her pocket. She pretended it was a toy. She made it talk and dance and sing. She had fun. + +But then, mom called her for dinner. Sara ran to the kitchen. She saw the soup on the table. She smelled the pepper. She remembered the pepper in her pocket. She felt bad. + +She took out the pepper and gave it to mom. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I took this pepper. I wanted to play with it. It was so pretty." + +Mom smiled and hugged Sara. She said, "It's okay, Sara. I'm glad you told me the truth. You can keep the pepper if you want. But next time, please request before you take something. Do you understand?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. Thank you. Can I have some soup?" + +Mom said, "Of course. Here you go. Enjoy your soup. And your pepper." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. They also like to mail letters to their grandparents. They have a big box of paper, crayons, stickers and envelopes. + +One day, they decide to mail a letter to their grandma. They draw pictures of their toys and write "I love you" with crayons. They put stickers on the envelope and write "Grandma" on it. They are very happy with their letter. + +They go to the mailbox with their letter. They see a group of big kids near the mailbox. The big kids are mean. They take letters from the mailbox and tear them up. They laugh and throw the pieces on the ground. + +Anna and Ben are scared. They do not want the big kids to take their letter. They hide behind a tree and wait for the big kids to go away. + +"Hey, look at this!" one of the big kids says. He holds up a letter with a lot of stickers on it. "This must be from a baby. Let's rip it up!" + +Anna and Ben gasp. That is their letter! They feel sad and angry. They want to stop the big kids. + +"Stop!" Anna shouts. She runs out from behind the tree. She grabs the letter from the big kid's hand. "That is our letter!

She did not want the medicine. She ran away from Mom and hid under the table. She took the bottle of medicine with her and threw it on the floor. The medicine spilled and scattered all over the carpet. + +"Oh, Sara, what have you done?" Mom said. She was angry and sad. She came to the table and pulled Sara out. She saw the mess on the floor. She sighed and got a cloth to clean it up. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Sara said. She felt bad for making Mom work. She saw that Mom was tired and worried. She hugged Mom and said, "I love you, Mom. I will take the medicine next time." + +Mom smiled and hugged Sara back. She was glad that Sara was sorry and loved her. She gave Sara another spoon of medicine and said, "I love you too, Sara.

He sees the bike and the ball. + +He knows who did it. He finds Tom and Sam behind the tree. + +He is not happy. He scolds them. + +"You should not touch the grill. It is hot and dangerous. You could get hurt. And you should not take the food. It is not ready yet. You have to wait. You are naughty boys." + +Tom and Sam are sorry. They say sorry to their dad. They promise not to touch the grill again. + +Their dad is still angry. But he loves them. He hugs them and forgives them. + +He tells them to go inside and wash their hands. He says they can have dinner soon. + +Tom and Sam go inside. They are glad their dad is not angry anymore. They are still hungry. They hope the food is good.

They are happy and have fun. + +One day, they see something new in the park. It is a big, shiny, round thing. It has many colors and lights. It makes sounds and moves. Anna and Ben are curious. They want to see what it is. + +They go closer to the big thing. They see a sign that says "Modern Art". They do not know what that means. They see a man who is standing near the big thing. He has a hat and a beard. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you like my art?" he asks. + +"What is art?" Anna asks. + +"Art is something that you make to show your feelings and ideas. It can be anything: a picture, a song, a story, a sculpture. This is my art. I made it with metal and wires and lights. Do you want to know how it works?" he says. + +"Yes, please!" Ben says. + +The man takes out a small box from his pocket. He opens it and shows them a candle. It is white and has a wick. + +"This is a candle. It is made of wax and it can burn. When you light it, it makes fire and heat and light. Do you know what fire is?" he says. + +"Fire is hot and bright and dangerous. We are not allowed to touch fire. Fire can hurt us and burn things," Anna says. + +"That is right. Fire can be dangerous, but it can also be useful and beautiful. Fire can cook food, warm us, and make shadows. Fire can also make art. Watch this," he says. + +He lights the candle with a match. He holds the candle near the big thing. He presses a button on the box. The big thing starts to change. The colors and lights and sounds change with the fire. The fire makes the big thing move and glow and sing. Anna and Ben are amazed. They see many shapes and patterns and rhythms. They feel many emotions and thoughts. They clap and laugh and gasp. + +"Wow! That is so cool! How do you do that?" Ben asks. + +"I use a special device that can gather the fire's energy and send it to the big thing. The big thing can sense the fire's heat and light and transform it into art. It is like a magic trick, but with science and technology. Do you like it?" he says. + +"We love it! It is the best art we have ever seen! Thank you for showing us!" Anna says. + +"You are very welcome. I am glad you enjoy it. You are very smart and brave to explore new things. Maybe you can be artists too, someday. You can make your own art with anything you want. Just use your imagination and creativity," he says. + +Anna and Ben smile and hug the man. They say goodbye and thank him again. They run back to their parents, who are waiting for them. They tell them about the big thing and the candle and the art. They are very excited and happy. They want to see more art and make their own art. They have learned something new and wonderful. They have had a great day. +Mia and Leo like to collect wild things. They go to the park with a big bag and look for things that grow or move. They find flowers, leaves, pine cones, rocks, bugs and feathers. They put them in the bag and say what they are. + +"Look, Mia, I found a red flower. It is pretty and smells good," Leo says. + +"I found a green leaf. It is big and has holes. Maybe a bug ate it," Mia says. + +They keep collecting wild things until the bag is full. Then they go to a bench and look at what they have. They sort them by color, shape and size. They make patterns and pictures with them. + +"Let's make a spicy soup with our wild things," Mia says. She pretends to have a pot and a spoon. She adds some flowers, leaves, pine cones and rocks to the pot. She stirs and tastes. + +"Mmm, this is spicy. Do you want some, Leo?" she asks. + +Leo nods and pretends to have a bowl and a fork. He takes some soup from the pot and eats. + +"Yum, this is spicy. But I think it needs more bugs," he says. + +He adds some bugs to the pot and stirs. He tastes again. + +"Wow, this is very spicy. I like it. Do you want more, Mia?" he asks. + +Mia shakes her head and makes a funny face. + +"No, thank you. I think it is too spicy for me. I like the feathers better. They are soft and tickle," she says. + +She takes some feathers from the bag and plays with them. She puts them on her head, her arms and her legs. She laughs and twirls. + +"I am a bird. I can fly. Look at me, Leo," she says. + +Leo looks at her and smiles. He puts some feathers on himself too. He joins her and they pretend to fly. + +They have fun with their wild things. They collect, sort, make and play. They are happy and spicy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their dolls in the garden. They liked to pretend that their dolls were their babies and they were the mommies and daddies. They gave them names and clothes and bottles and blankets. + +"Look at my baby, Lily. Her name is Rose and she has pink skin and blue eyes. She is so pretty and sweet," Ben said, holding his doll. + +Lily looked at her doll and felt sad. Her doll was old and dirty and had brown skin and black hair. She did not have a name or clothes or a bottle or a blanket. She was not pretty or sweet. She was weird. + +"Your baby is weird, Ben. She does not look like you or me or anyone. She is not a real baby. She is a bad baby," Lily said, throwing her doll on the ground. + +Ben was angry and hurt. He loved his doll and he did not think she was weird or bad. He thought she was special and different and beautiful. He picked up his doll and hugged her. + +"My baby is not weird or bad, Lily. She is a real baby and she is a good baby. She looks like my grandma. She has the same skin and hair and eyes as her. She reminds me of her. She died when I was little, but I still miss her and love her. She was kind and funny and smart. She taught me many things and gave me this doll. She said it was her doll when she was a baby. She said I should love it and take care of it. She said it was a part of her and a part of me. She said we are all different and that is what makes us special. She said we should not judge people by how they look, but by how they act and feel. She said we should be nice and friendly and respectful to everyone. She said we should be happy with what we have and share with others. She said we should be grateful and generous and gentle. She said we should be good babies and good people," Ben said, with tears in his eyes. + +Lily listened to Ben and felt sorry. She did not know that his doll was his grandma's doll and that his grandma was dead. She did not know that he loved his doll and his grandma so much. She did not know that he was reminded of his grandma by his doll. She did not know that his grandma was so wise and good. She did not know that she was being mean and rude and selfish. She felt ashamed and guilty and sad. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I did not know. I was wrong. Your baby is not weird or bad. She is a real baby and she is a good baby. She is special and different and beautiful. She looks like your grandma and she reminds you of her. You love her and you take care of her. You are a good baby and a good person. You are kind and funny and smart. You teach me many things and you share with me. You are a part of your grandma and a part of me. You are my friend and I like you. Can I play with your baby? Can I give her a name and clothes and a bottle and a blanket? Can I hug her and kiss her and tell her I'm sorry?" Lily said, with tears in her eyes. + +Ben smiled and nodded. He was happy and relieved and glad. He forgave Lily and he thanked her. He shared his doll and his grandma with her. He gave her a name and clothes and a bottle and a blanket. He hugged her and kissed her and told her he was sorry. He was her friend and he liked her. They played with their dolls in the garden. They pretended that their dolls were their babies and they were the mommies and daddies. They gave them names and clothes and bottles and blankets. They were happy and sweet and good. +Sara loves to play with her sock puppets. She has a red sock, a blue sock, and a yellow sock. She puts them on her hands and makes them talk to each other. + +"Hello, I am Red. I like to run and jump," says the red sock. + +"Hello, I am Blue. I like to sing and dance," says the blue sock. + +"Hello, I am Yellow. I like to read and draw," says the yellow sock. + +They are having fun, but then Sara sees something incredible. It is a big, fluffy, pink sock. It has eyes, a nose, and a mouth. It is smiling at her. + +"Wow, who are you?" Sara asks. + +"Hello, I am Pink. I am a new sock. I like to play and hug," says the pink sock. + +Sara is very happy. She grabs the pink sock and puts it on her other hand. Now she has four sock puppets. + +"Hello, Pink. You are very pretty. Do you want to be my friend?" Sara says. + +"Yes, I do. You are very nice. Can I join your game?" Pink says. + +"Of course. We are playing pretend. You can be whatever you want," Sara says. + +"OK. I want to be a princess. And you can be my friends," Pink says. + +Sara and her sock puppets agree. They play pretend for a long time. They have a lot of fun. Sara loves her sock puppets. They are incredible. +Lily liked to feed the fox. The fox lived in the woods behind her house. Every day, Lily would bring some bread and cheese and leave them on a big rock. The fox would come and eat them and look at Lily with his bright eyes. + +One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the city. Lily did not want to go. She said the city was boring. There were no foxes, only cars and people and noise. She wanted to stay and feed the fox. + +"Please, mom, can we stay?" Lily asked. + +"No, Lily, we have to go. We have to visit your grandma. She is sick and she misses you. Maybe you can feed the fox when we come back," mom said. + +Lily was sad. She packed her bag and said goodbye to the fox. She hoped he would not be hungry or lonely. She gave him a big hug and a kiss. + +"Bye, fox. I will come back soon. I love you," Lily said. + +The fox licked her face and wagged his tail. He watched her go with his bright eyes. He knew she would come back. He loved her too. +Lily and Tom were playing outside after the rain. They liked to jump in the puddles and make splashes. They saw a big puddle near the fence. It was dark and muddy. + +"Let's jump in that puddle!" Tom said. + +Lily looked at the puddle. She felt scared. She saw something moving in the puddle. It looked like a snake. + +"No, Tom, don't jump in that puddle!" Lily said. "There is a snake in there!" + +Tom did not believe Lily. He thought she was joking. He ran towards the puddle. + +"Tom, stop!" Lily shouted. She ran after him. + +Tom reached the puddle and jumped in. He felt something cold and slimy wrap around his leg. He screamed. + +Lily reached the puddle and saw Tom's face. He looked very scared. She saw the snake too. It was big and black. + +"Help, Lily, help!" Tom cried. + +Lily did not know what to do. She looked around and saw a stick. She picked it up and ran to the puddle. She hit the snake with the stick. The snake let go of Tom's leg and slithered away. + +Lily helped Tom out of the puddle. He was wet and dirty and hurt. He hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily, thank you. You saved me." + +Lily hugged Tom and said, "You're welcome, Tom, you're welcome. But next time, listen to me. Don't jump in scary puddles." + +Tom nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry. I was silly. I will listen to you next time." + +Lily and Tom walked back to their house. They told their mom what happened. She was glad they were safe. She cleaned Tom's leg and gave them both a hug. She said, "You are very brave, Lily, and very smart. You did the right thing. And you, Tom, you are very lucky, and very sorry. You did the wrong thing. You should always question before you jump in puddles. You never know what might be in there." + +Lily and Tom said, "Yes, mom, yes. We learned our lesson. We will always question before we jump in puddles." + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They pretended they were racing on a high bridge. + +"Watch out, Lily!" Ben shouted. "There is a cable on the bridge. You will get stuck!" + +Lily did not see the cable. It was thin and gray and looked like a snake. She drove her car too fast and hit the cable. Her car flipped over and landed on its roof. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "My car is broken!" + +Ben drove his car to help Lily. He used his car to push Lily's car back on its wheels. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. Your car is not broken. You just need to reverse it." + +"Reverse it?" Lily asked. "What does that mean?" + +Ben showed Lily how to move the car backwards. He said, "Reverse means to go the other way. Like this. See? Now your car can drive again." + +Lily smiled and thanked Ben. She said, "You are a good friend, Ben. You helped me reverse my car." + +They hugged and continued to play with their cars. They avoided the cable and had fun on the high bridge. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park, draw pictures, and share snacks. One day, they found a big book in the library. It had many words and pictures. Lily and Ben wanted to read it. + +"What is this book?" Lily asked. + +"It says 'Wisdom'," Ben said. "Do you know what that means?" + +Lily shook her head. "No, do you?" + +Ben shook his head too. "No, but maybe we can find out." + +They opened the book and looked at the pages. They saw stories of animals, people, and places. They tried to read the words, but they were too hard. They only knew some of them. + +"Look, this is a lion," Lily said, pointing at a picture. + +"And this is a mouse," Ben said, pointing at another picture. + +They read the story of the lion and the mouse. They learned that the lion was rude and the mouse was kind. They learned that the mouse helped the lion when he was in trouble. They learned that being kind and helpful was wisdom. + +"I like this story," Lily said. "The mouse was very brave and nice." + +"Me too," Ben said. "The lion was very silly and mean." + +They smiled at each other. They felt happy and smart. They decided to kiss each other on the cheek. + +"Thank you for being my friend," Lily said. + +"Thank you for being my friend too," Ben said. + +They hugged and closed the book. They put it back on the shelf. They went to play some more. They had learned something new. They had learned about wisdom. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their dogs. Lily had a big dog named Spot. Spot was incredible. He could run very fast, jump very high, and catch a ball in his mouth. + +One day, Lily and Max decided to make a surprise for Spot. They found some sticks, leaves, and flowers. They made a crown for Spot's head. They made a necklace for Spot's neck. They made a bracelet for Spot's paw. + +They called Spot and put the things on him. Spot looked very funny. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was happy. + +"Wow, Spot, you look like a king!" Lily said. + +"Or a queen!" Max said. + +They laughed and hugged Spot. They took a picture of him. They showed it to their moms and dads. They were proud of their surprise. Spot was incredible. +Sam and Mia are playing in the living room. They have a big box of toys and they like to make noise. Sam finds a radio and turns it on. He hears music and he starts to dance. + +"Look, Mia, I can shake the radio and make it louder!" he says. + +He shakes the radio hard and the music gets louder and louder. Mia covers her ears and frowns. + +"Sam, stop it! You are hurting my ears!" she says. + +She tries to take the radio from Sam, but he holds it tight. They pull and tug and the radio falls to the floor. It breaks and makes a loud crack. The music stops and they hear a voice. + +"Hello, hello, this is the emergency service. We heard a loud noise from your house. Is everything okay?" the voice says. + +Sam and Mia look at each other and feel scared. They broke the radio and now someone is talking to them. They don't know what to say. + +"Mommy, mommy, help!" they cry. + +Mommy comes running from the kitchen. She sees the broken radio and the scared children. She picks up the radio and talks to the voice. + +"Hello, this is Sam and Mia's mommy. I'm sorry, they were playing with the radio and they broke it. They didn't mean to make a loud noise. Everything is okay, thank you for checking on us," she says. + +She hangs up the radio and looks at Sam and Mia. She is not happy. + +"Sam, Mia, you know you are not supposed to play with the radio. It is not a toy. You could have hurt yourself or someone else. You need to say sorry and clean up this mess," she says. + +Sam and Mia nod and say sorry. They feel bad for breaking the radio. They help mommy clean up the pieces and put them in the trash. Mommy gives them a hug and a kiss. + +"I love you, Sam and Mia, but you need to be more careful. Next time, play with something else, okay?" she says. + +Sam and Mia say okay and hug mommy back. They go back to the box of toys and look for something else to play with. They see a lemon and a knife. + +"Look, Mia, I can cut the lemon and make juice!" Sam says. + +He picks up the knife and the lemon and smiles. + +"No, Sam, don't do that!" Mia says. + +She remembers what mommy said and grabs the knife and the lemon from Sam. She puts them back in the box and closes the lid. + +"Let's play with the blocks instead. They are more fun and less bitter," she says. + +Sam agrees and they start to build a tower with the blocks. They are happy and quiet and they don't break anything. Mommy smiles and goes back to the kitchen. +Lila was a daughter who liked to play in the mud. She made mud pies, mud castles, and mud animals. She had fun, but she also got very dirty. Her clothes, her hair, and her skin were all brown and sticky. + +"Time to get clean, Lila!" her mom called. "Come inside and take a bath!" + +Lila did not want to stop playing. She liked being dirty. She said, "No, mom, I want to play more!" + +Her mom came out and picked her up. She said, "You can play more later, but now you need to soak in the water and wash off the mud. You don't want to get sick or itchy, do you?" + +Lila shook her head. She did not like being sick or itchy. She said, "Okay, mom, I will take a bath. But can I bring my mud animals with me?" + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Sure, you can bring your mud animals, but they will also get clean in the water. Maybe you can make new ones tomorrow with fresh mud." + +Lila nodded. She hugged her mud animals and followed her mom inside. She soaked in the water and scrubbed her skin with soap. She watched the mud go down the drain. She rinsed her hair and wrapped herself in a towel. She felt warm and clean. + +She said, "Thank you, mom, for helping me get clean. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lila. You are my sweet daughter." +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the playroom. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. Sometimes they pretended the blocks were cars or animals or people. + +One day, they found a weird block in the box. It was not like the other blocks. It was round and shiny and had a button on it. Lily and Ben wondered what it was. + +"Maybe it is a toy," Lily said. + +"Maybe it is a bomb," Ben said. + +They decided to press the button and see what happened. They pressed it together and held their breath. + +Nothing happened. They waited and waited, but nothing happened. They felt disappointed and bored. + +Then they heard a voice. It was a whisper, very soft and low. It came from the block. + +"Hello, children. I am a spy block. I can hear and see everything you do. I can also talk to you. Do you want to play a game with me?" + +Lily and Ben were surprised and scared. They did not know who the voice was or where it came from. They did not know if they should trust the block or not. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked. + +"Where are you?" Ben asked. + +The block whispered again. + +"I am a secret. I am in the block. I can be your friend, if you want. But you have to do what I say. Do you want to play a game with me?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not know what to do. They wanted to play, but they also felt weird. They wondered if the block was good or bad. + +They decided to ask their mom. They picked up the block and ran to the kitchen. They showed the block to their mom and told her what happened. + +Their mom looked at the block and smiled. She pressed the button and the block stopped whispering. + +"It's okay, children. This is not a spy block. This is a voice recorder. It can record and play back sounds. Your dad gave it to me as a gift. He recorded a message for you. Do you want to hear it?" + +She pressed the button again and the block whispered. + +"Hello, Lily and Ben. I love you very much. I am sorry I can't be with you today. I am on a business trip. But I will be back soon. Have fun with the blocks and be good to your mom. Bye for now." + +Lily and Ben smiled and hugged the block. They felt happy and relieved. They thanked their mom and went back to the playroom. They decided to play with the block and the other blocks. They recorded their own messages and listened to them. They had fun and forgot about the weird block. They did not know that the block was still listening and watching. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They wanted to play with everything. + +"Can we go to the slide, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, but be careful, and wait for your turn," mom said. + +Tom and Lily ran to the slide. They saw a boy and a girl waiting in line. The boy had a red hat and the girl had a yellow dress. + +"Hi, I'm Tom, and this is Lily," Tom said to the boy. He wanted to introduce himself and make a new friend. + +"Hi, I'm Ben, and this is Mia," the boy said. "Do you like the slide?" + +"Yes, it's fun and fast," Tom said. + +"Me too," Ben said. "Do you want to go together?" + +"Okay," Tom said. He smiled at Ben. He was happy to find someone who liked the slide as much as he did. + +Lily looked at the girl. She was shy and did not know what to say. She liked the girl's yellow dress. It was bright and pretty. + +"Hi, I'm Mia," the girl said to Lily. She wanted to introduce herself and be nice. + +"Hi, I'm Lily," Lily said. She felt a little braver. + +"Do you like the swing?" Mia asked. + +"Yes, it's fun and high," Lily said. + +"Me too," Mia said. "Do you want to go together?" + +"Okay," Lily said. She smiled at Mia. She was happy to find someone who liked the swing as much as she did. + +Tom and Lily played with Ben and Mia for a long time. They had a lot of fun. They went to the slide, the swing, and the sandbox. They shared their toys and their stories. + +When the sun was going down, mom said it was time to go home. It was getting dark and cold. + +"Bye, Ben, bye, Mia," Tom and Lily said. They hugged their new friends. + +"Bye, Tom, bye, Lily," Ben and Mia said. They waved their hands. + +"Can we see them again, mom?" Tom and Lily asked. + +"Maybe, if we come back to the park another day," mom said. + +Tom and Lily made a wish. They wished they could see Ben and Mia again. They liked their new friends. They hoped they would meet them soon. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big basket in the yard. It was heavy and full of things. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Lily said. + +"Maybe it has toys or candy!" Ben said. + +They lifted the lid and saw many books and clothes. They were not happy. They wanted something fun. + +"Books are boring!" Lily said. + +"Clothes are not for playing!" Ben said. + +They threw the books and clothes out of the basket. Then they saw something shiny at the bottom. It was a star. + +"A star!" Lily said. + +"How did it get here?" Ben said. + +They picked up the star and it was warm and bright. They felt happy and curious. + +"Maybe it fell from the sky!" Lily said. + +"Maybe it is a magic star!" Ben said. + +They decided to keep the star and put it in their room. They went inside and put the star on their bed. They looked at it and smiled. + +"Let's make a wish!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They closed their eyes and wished for something. Then they fell asleep and had a dream. In their dream, they flew with the star to a land of fun and wonder. They saw animals and flowers and rainbows. They played and laughed and had a great time. + +They woke up and saw the star still on their bed. It was still warm and bright. They hugged it and thanked it. + +"Thank you, star, for our dream!" Lily said. + +"Yes, thank you, star, you are the best!" Ben said. + +They put the star in their basket and kept it as their secret friend. They always had happy dreams with the star. They never threw away books and clothes again. They learned to love and share everything. They were happy twins. +Tom is a boy who likes to play with his toys. He has a lot of toys, but his favorite is a pig. The pig is pink and soft and makes a funny noise when Tom squeezes it. Tom calls his pig Oink. + +One day, Tom decides to take Oink outside and play in the mud. He thinks mud is fun and Oink likes it too. He makes Oink roll and jump in the mud. He also makes Oink chase the birds and the bugs. Oink is very happy and dirty. + +But when Tom wants to go back inside, his mom sees him and Oink. She is not happy. She says, "Tom, you and Oink are very dirty. You need to take a bath and wash Oink too. You can't bring Oink inside like that. He will make the house dirty." + +Tom does not want to take a bath. He does not want to wash Oink. He says, "But mom, Oink likes to be dirty. He is a pig. Pigs are not clean. They are happy in the mud." + +Mom says, "I know, Tom, but Oink is not a real pig. He is a toy pig. And toy pigs need to be clean. If you don't wash Oink, he will get sick and smelly. And you will get sick and smelly too. Do you want that?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He does not want to get sick and smelly. He does not want Oink to get sick and smelly. He loves Oink. He says, "OK, mom, I will take a bath and wash Oink. But can we play in the mud again tomorrow?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Yes, Tom, you can play in the mud again tomorrow. But only if you promise to take a bath and wash Oink after. Deal?" + +Tom nods and says, "Deal." He takes Oink and goes to the bathroom. He fills the tub with water and soap. He puts Oink in the tub and scrubs him with a sponge. He also scrubs himself with a sponge. He makes Oink squeak and splash. He thinks Oink looks funny with bubbles on his nose. He says, "Oink, you are a clean pig now. But don't worry, we will have more fun in the mud tomorrow. I love you, Oink." + +Oink squeaks back and says, "I love you too, Tom." +Sara was a modest girl who liked to help her mom at home. She did not have many toys, but she had a big curtain that she used to play with. She liked to pretend that the curtain was a dress, a cape, a tent, or anything else she could imagine. + +One day, her mom asked her to teach her little brother, Ben, how to play with the curtain. Sara was happy to share her game with Ben, who was only two years old. She showed him how to wrap the curtain around his body and make funny noises. Ben giggled and copied her. + +"Look, mom, I am a lion!" Sara roared, shaking the curtain like a mane. + +"And I am a bird!" Ben chirped, flapping the curtain like wings. + +Mom smiled and clapped her hands. "You are both very clever and creative. I am proud of you, Sara, for teaching Ben how to play with the curtain. And I am proud of you, Ben, for learning from your sister. You are a good team." + +Sara and Ben hugged each other and thanked mom. They continued to play with the curtain until it was time for dinner. They had a lot of fun with their simple game. +Lily was a little girl who liked to listen to stories. Every night, her mom would read her a book before bed. Lily would cuddle with her teddy bear and suck her thumb. She had a chubby thumb that tasted good. + +One night, mom read her a story about a princess and a dragon. Lily liked the princess, who had a pretty dress and a crown. She did not like the dragon, who had big teeth and a loud roar. She was scared of the dragon. + +"Mom, what if the dragon comes here?" Lily asked. + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. "Don't worry, sweetie. The dragon is only in the story. He can't come here. He lives far away, in a cave. And even if he did, I would protect you. You are safe with me." + +Lily felt better. She gave mom a kiss and said, "I love you, mom. You are the best." + +"I love you too, Lily. You are my princess." Mom said. She turned off the light and said, "Good night, Lily. Sleep tight." + +Lily closed her eyes and dreamed of the princess and the dragon. She was not scared anymore. She listened to mom's heartbeat and sucked her thumb. She was happy. +Tommy liked to play with his dad's things when he was at the office. He liked the shiny pens, the big books, and the funny pictures on the wall. But his favorite thing was the red button on the desk. He did not know what it did, but it looked fun to press. + +One day, when his dad was talking on the phone, Tommy sneaked into the office and climbed on the chair. He reached for the red button and pushed it hard. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise and saw a bright flash. He felt a strange feeling in his tummy and then everything went dark. + +"Tommy, where are you?" his dad called, looking around the office. He saw the red button was pressed and realized what had happened. He ran to the closet and opened it. There was a big machine with wires and lights. It was his dad's secret invention. It could make things disappear and reappear in another place. + +"Dad, I'm here!" Tommy shouted from inside the machine. He was scared and confused. He did not like the dark and the noise. He wanted to go back to his dad. + +"Tommy, don't worry, I'm coming to get you!" his dad said, pressing some buttons on the machine. He hoped it would work and bring Tommy back. He was sorry he left the red button on the desk. He should have locked the closet. + +Soon, the machine made another noise and flash. Tommy felt the strange feeling in his tummy again and then he saw his dad's face. He was happy and relieved. He hugged his dad and said, "I'm sorry, dad, I pressed the red button. I won't do it again." + +"It's okay, Tommy, I'm glad you're safe. But you have to be careful with my things. They are not toys. They are for my work. Do you understand?" his dad said, holding Tommy in his arms. + +"Yes, dad, I understand. But what does the red button do?" Tommy asked, curious. + +"It makes things disappear and reappear in another place. It's a very special and dangerous machine. I use it for my experiments. But you can't touch it. It's not for you." his dad explained. + +"Wow, that's amazing. But where did I go when I disappeared?" Tommy wondered. + +"You went to the kitchen. That's where the other end of the machine is. I was testing it with some food. That's why you smell spicy. You were next to the chili peppers." his dad said, laughing. + +"Spicy? I don't like spicy. I like sweet. Can we go get some ice cream?" Tommy asked, smiling. + +"Sure, we can. But first, let's lock the closet and the office. And no more red buttons, okay?" his dad said, smiling too. + +"Okay, dad. No more red buttons. Only ice cream." Tommy agreed, as they walked out of the office. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big kite in the sky. It is red and blue and yellow.

He holds a string. + +"That is Mr. Lee," Anna says. "He is famous. He makes kites and sells them. He knows how to fly them very well." + +Anna and Ben run to Mr. Lee. They say hello.

They put them in a brown bag and took them home. + +One day, they found a big shiny coin. It was gold and had a picture of a man on it. Lily and Max both wanted it. They said, "It is mine! It is mine!" + +They pulled the coin from each other. The coin flew out of their hands and rolled away. They ran after it, but they were too late. A big dog saw the coin and picked it up with his mouth. He ran away with it. + +Lily and Max were sad. They lost their treasure. They looked at each other and said, "Sorry. Sorry." + +They hugged and said, "We are friends. We belong together." + +They went back to their brown bag and looked at their other treasure. They saw rocks, leaves, feathers, and buttons. They smiled and said, "We have enough. We have enough." +Lily was a lonely girl who lived in a big house with her dad. Her dad was a king who loved gold more than anything. He had many gold coins, gold rings, gold cups and gold crowns. He liked to measure his gold every day and see how much he had. + +One day, Lily wanted to play with her dad, but he was busy measuring his gold in his room. She knocked on the door and said, "Dad, can we play?" + +"Not now, Lily, I'm busy," her dad said. "Go and play with your toys." + +Lily felt sad and went to her room. She had many toys, but she had no friends to play with. She wished she had someone to talk to and have fun with. + +She saw a big teddy bear on her bed. She picked it up and hugged it. She pretended that the teddy bear was her friend. She said, "Hello, teddy bear, what's your name?" + +The teddy bear did not answer, but Lily did not mind. She said, "My name is Lily, and I'm lonely. Do you want to play with me?" + +The teddy bear nodded, and Lily smiled. She said, "Let's play measure. I'll be the king, and you'll be my helper. We'll measure my gold and see how much I have." + +Lily took some of her toys and pretended they were gold. She had a yellow ball, a yellow cup, a yellow ring and a yellow crown. She put them on a table and said, "Look, teddy bear, this is my gold. It's very shiny and pretty. Let's measure it and see how much I have." + +She took a ruler and measured the ball, the cup, the ring and the crown. She said, "The ball is five inches, the cup is three inches, the ring is one inch and the crown is six inches. That's fifteen inches of gold. I have a lot of gold, teddy bear. Aren't I rich?" + +The teddy bear nodded, and Lily clapped. She said, "Now it's your turn, teddy bear. You measure my gold and tell me how much I have." + +She gave the ruler to the teddy bear and waited. The teddy bear did not move. He did not know how to measure. He did not know how to talk. He was just a toy. + +Lily felt sad again. She said, "Teddy bear, don't you want to play with me? Don't you want to be my friend?" + +The teddy bear did not answer. He was just a toy. + +Lily put the teddy bear down and cried. She wished she had a real friend. She wished her dad would play with her. She wished she had something more than gold. +Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to be a big girl and do things by herself. Mom gave her a spoon and a bowl and said, "You can wash this spoon and put it in the bowl. Then you can dry it with a towel. Can you do that?" + +Anna nodded and smiled. She took the spoon and went to the sink. She turned on the water and made it warm. She put some soap on the spoon and rubbed it with her hands. She rinsed the soap off and looked at the spoon. It was shiny and clean. She was proud of herself. + +She carried the spoon to the bowl and put it inside. She found a towel and wiped the spoon until it was dry. She did the same thing with another spoon and another. She liked washing spoons. It was fun. + +But after a while, she started to feel tired. Her arms were sore and her eyes were heavy. She yawned and rubbed her face. She looked at the sink and saw that there were still many spoons left. She felt sad. She wanted to finish, but she also wanted to rest. + +She went to her mom and said, "Mom, I'm tired. Can I stop washing spoons?" + +Mom looked at her and smiled. She hugged her and said, "You did a great job, Anna. You washed many spoons and made them very clean. You can stop now and take a nap. I'll finish the rest. Thank you for helping me." + +Anna felt happy and relieved. She said, "You're welcome, Mom. I love you." She kissed her mom and went to her bed. She snuggled with her teddy bear and closed her eyes. She fell asleep and dreamed of washing spoons. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to share their toys and snacks. + +One day, they found a big red ball in the park. It was shiny and bouncy. They both wanted to play with it. They tried to pull it from each other, but it was too hard. They started to argue. + +"Let go of the ball, it's mine!" Ben shouted. + +"No, it's mine, I saw it first!" Lily yelled. + +They pulled and pulled until the ball split in two. They were both shocked and sad. The ball was broken and they had no fun. + +They looked at each other and felt sorry. They didn't want to fight. They wanted to be friends. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I was mean to you. Can we still play?" Lily asked. + +"I'm sorry, too, Lily. I was selfish. Of course we can still play." Ben said. + +They hugged and smiled. They decided to share the ball pieces. They threw them in the air and watched them fly. They laughed and chased them. They had fun again. + +They learned that sharing is better than fighting. They also learned that some things can split, but friendship can't. They were happy and popular. Everyone in the park wanted to play with them. They always went to the west side of the park, where the sun was bright and warm. They were best friends forever. +Lily had a big cut on her knee. It hurt a lot and she cried. Mommy put a bandage on it and said, "This will help you heal, my sweetie. You are very brave." + +Lily wanted to play with her friends, but Mommy said, "No, you have to rest and let your knee heal. You can play tomorrow, okay?" + +Lily was sad and bored. She looked out the window and saw her friends playing with masks. They were pretending to be animals and making funny noises. Lily wished she could join them. + +She was very persistent. She asked Mommy again and again, "Please, can I play with my friends? Please, please, please?" + +Mommy sighed and said, "Okay, fine. But you have to wear a mask too, and be careful with your knee. And don't stay too long, it's almost time for dinner." + +Lily was happy and ran to her room. She found a mask that looked like a cat and put it on. She went outside and joined her friends. They played and laughed and had fun. + +Lily forgot about her cut and her bandage. She felt better. She was glad she had a mask and persistent friends. +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park near their houses. There was a big gate that closed the park at night. Tom and Lily knew they had to go home before the gate was locked. + +One day, they were having so much fun on the swings and the slide that they did not see the sun go down. They heard a loud noise and saw a man closing the gate. They ran to the gate, but it was too late. The man had locked it and left. + +Tom and Lily were scared and confused. They did not know how to get out of the park. They looked around and saw no one. They felt alone and cold. + +"Tom, what are we going to do?" Lily asked, holding Tom's hand. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe we can climb over the gate. But it is very high and sharp. We might get hurt." Tom said, looking at the gate. + +"Maybe we can call for help. But who will hear us? Everyone is at home." Lily said, looking at the dark houses. + +Tom and Lily felt sad and hopeless. They wished they had gone home earlier. They wished they had listened to their parents. They wished they had valued their time more. + +Then, they heard a familiar voice. It was Tom's dad. He had come to look for them. He had a flashlight and a key. He saw them at the gate and opened it. + +"Tom, Lily, are you okay? I was so worried about you. Why did you stay so late in the park?" Tom's dad asked, hugging them. + +"Sorry, dad. We were having fun and we forgot the time. We did not see the man close the gate. We were scared and confused. We could not get out." Tom said, crying. + +"It's okay, son. I'm glad you're safe. But you have to be more careful next time. The park is not a good place to be at night. You have to value your safety and your home." Tom's dad said, wiping Tom's tears. + +"I'm sorry, too, dad. Thank you for finding us. You are the best dad ever." Lily said, smiling. + +"You're welcome, Lily. You are a good friend to Tom. But you also have to value your parents and your rules. They are there to protect you and love you." Tom's dad said, smiling back. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They hugged Tom's dad and walked home with him. They were happy to see their families and their beds. They promised to never stay late in the park again. They valued their friends, their parents, and their time more than ever. +Lily was a curious girl who liked to learn new things. She wanted to improve her reading, so she asked her mom to take her to the library. There, she saw many books with pictures and words. + +She picked a book about owls, because she thought they were cool and smart. She opened the book and tried to read the words, but they were too hard for her. She asked her mom to help her. + +"Mom, what does this word say?" she pointed to a word on the page. + +"That word is 'nocturnal', dear. It means that owls are awake at night and sleep during the day." her mom explained. + +"Wow, that's amazing! How do they see in the dark?" Lily asked. + +"They have big eyes that can see very well in the dark, and they can also hear very well. They use their eyes and ears to find their food, like mice and rabbits." her mom said. + +Lily learned many new things about owls from the book and her mom. She was happy and proud of herself. She wanted to improve her reading more, so she could read more books about owls and other animals. She thanked her mom for taking her to the library and hugged her. She loved her mom and she loved reading. +Tim and Sam were friends. They liked to play with toys and run in the park. One day, they found a big sack in the park. It was brown and had a knob on it. + +"What is in the sack?" Tim asked. + +"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Sam said. + +They pulled the knob and opened the sack. Inside, they saw many dry leaves. They were red and yellow and brown. + +"Wow, look at the leaves!" Tim said. + +"They are pretty. Let's make a pile and jump on it," Sam said. + +They took the leaves out of the sack and made a big pile on the grass. Then they ran and jumped on the pile. The leaves made a crunchy sound and flew in the air. They laughed and had fun. + +The sack was empty now. They looked at it and had an idea. + +"Let's put the sack on our heads and pretend we are ghosts," Tim said. + +"OK, that sounds fun," Sam said. + +They put the sack on their heads and made spooky noises. They walked around the park and scared the birds and the dogs. They had more fun. + +They were happy friends. They liked the sack and the leaves. They liked to play and pretend. They had a good day. +Lily and Ben like to play with the board. The board has many holes and pegs. They can make shapes and pictures with the pegs.

He puts five pegs in a circle. But he does not have enough pegs to put in the middle. He looks at Lily's star and frowns. He is not proud of his star. + +"Can I have some of your pegs, Lily?" he asks. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She likes her star. She does not want to give away her pegs. But she also likes Ben.

He bounced on his bed, on the sofa, on the trampoline. He bounced everywhere he could. But his mom did not like it when he bounced too much. She said it was noisy and dangerous and messy. + +One day, Timmy was bouncing on his bed when he heard his mom call him. He bounced off the bed and ran to the kitchen. He saw his mom holding a big book. She looked angry. + +"Timmy, I need to talk to you," she said. "This is a very important book. It is a lecture book. It has many brilliant things to teach us. But you bounced on it and ripped some pages. Now it is ruined. How could you do that?" + +Timmy felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt the book. He just wanted to bounce. He looked at his mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know it was a lecture book. I thought it was a bounce book. Can you fix it?" + +His mom sighed. She put the book down and hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, too, Timmy. I know you love to bounce. But you have to be careful with books. They are not for bouncing. They are for reading and learning. Maybe we can find another bounce book for you. But first, you have to help me tape the pages back together. OK?" + +Timmy nodded. He said, "OK, mom. I will help you. And then can we bounce together?" + +His mom smiled. She said, "Yes, Timmy. We can bounce together. But only on the trampoline. Deal?" + +Timmy agreed. He said, "Deal, mom. I love you." + +He hugged his mom and they went to fix the book. Then they bounced on the trampoline and had fun. Timmy learned to respect books and his mom learned to enjoy bouncing.

She had a big test at school tomorrow and she did not know all the answers. She felt scared and sad. + +"Ben, can we stop playing now?" she asked her brother. "I have to study for my test." + +Ben looked at her and frowned. He did not want to stop playing. He liked his trains and he did not have a test.

He thought for a moment and then he had an idea. + +"OK, Anna, I will help you. But first, let's go to the kitchen and make some hot chocolate. Hot chocolate is good for you. It makes you warm and happy. And maybe we can put some marshmallows in it too. Marshmallows are yummy and soft. And then we can relax and study together. How does that sound?" + +Anna smiled. She liked hot chocolate and marshmallows. She liked Ben too. He was a good brother. She nodded and hugged him. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. Let's go to the kitchen and make some hot chocolate. And then we can relax and study together." + +They went to the kitchen and boiled some water.

They sat on the couch and sipped their hot chocolate. They felt the warmth and sweetness in their throats and their bellies. They felt relaxed and happy. + +They opened Anna's book and looked at the questions. Ben helped Anna to read them and to remember the answers.

He did not think it was a good idea. + +"I'm drawing a flower for the teacher," said Lily. "Do you like it?" + +"No, I don't," said Ben. "You are not supposed to draw on the board. That's for the teacher to write on. And you are using the most popular crayon. Everyone wants to use the pink crayon. You are being selfish." + +Lily felt sad.

They looked around and saw a monkey in a tree. The monkey was holding a banana and making faces. Sara and Tom laughed too. They said hello, monkey.

He was surprised and curious. + +"Why did it do that?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe it was hungry," Anna said. "Maybe it likes yellow flowers." + +They watched the bug for a while. It ate the flower and then crawled away. They followed it until it disappeared under a rock. + +"Bye, bug, bye, flower," Anna said. + +"Bye, bye," Ben said. + +They went back to the park. They played some more. They had fun. They forgot about the flower and the bug. They were happy. +Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They see a big billboard with a picture of a happy family and a new car. The billboard says, "Buy this car and be happy!" + +Anna and Ben do not like the billboard. They think it is silly and mean. They want to make it go away. They find some rocks and sticks and throw them at the billboard. They make holes and scratches on the picture. They laugh and shout, "We do not want your car! We are happy with our bikes!" + +A man sees them and gets angry. He is the owner of the car shop. He paid a lot of money for the billboard. He runs to them and yells, "Stop that! You are ruining my billboard! You are filthy little brats!" + +Anna and Ben get scared. They drop their rocks and sticks and run away. They scatter in different directions. The man chases them, but he is too slow and fat. He cannot catch them. He stops and looks at his billboard. It is ruined. He feels sad and mad. + +Anna and Ben meet at the other side of the park. They are out of breath and their clothes are dirty. They hug and say, "That was fun! But we should not do that again. It was not nice. Maybe the man is not happy with his car. Maybe he needs a bike." They smile and ride away on their bikes. They are happy. +Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They like to run fast and slide and swing.

"Can we jump in it?" + +"Sure!" Ben says. "But we have to be careful. There might be bugs or sticks in the leaves." + +They look at the hill and see if there is anything that might hurt them.

They liked to make snowmen and snowballs and snow forts. They had fun throwing snow at each other and laughing. + +But then they saw something sad. A little bird was lying on the ground, not moving. It had no feathers on its head and its eyes were closed. Anna and Ben felt sorry for the bird. They wondered what happened to it. + +"Maybe a cat got it," Ben said. + +"Or maybe it was too cold," Anna said. + +They decided to do something nice for the bird. They took some snow and covered it gently. They made a little mound of snow over the bird, like a blanket. They hoped the bird would be warm and peaceful. + +They said goodbye to the bird and went back to their game. They did not notice the cat that was watching them from behind a tree. The cat had been the one who killed the bird. It was waiting for them to leave, so it could dig up its meal. + +But the cat did not know that the snow was covering something else. Under the bird, there was a trap. A man had set it to catch the cat, because he did not like cats. The trap had a spring and a metal claw that would snap shut on anything that touched it. + +The cat was hungry and greedy. It did not see the trap. It only saw the mound of snow and the bird. It ran towards it and pawed at the snow. The trap snapped. The cat screamed. + +Anna and Ben heard the noise and turned around. They saw the cat in the trap, bleeding and struggling. They felt scared and sorry for the cat. They ran to their house and told their mom what they saw. + +Their mom called the man who owned the trap. He came and took the cat away. He said he would take it to the vet and try to save it. He said he was sorry for setting the trap. He said he would not do it again. + +Anna and Ben hoped the cat would be okay. They learned that life and death were part of the landscape. They learned to be careful and kind. They learned that snow could cover many things. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play in the garden. She had a toy shovel and a bucket and she dug holes in the dirt. She liked to find worms and bugs and put them in her bucket. She was very happy. + +One day, she dug a big hole and saw something furry and brown. It was a mole. The mole was scared and tried to run away, but Lily was faster. She grabbed the mole and put it in her bucket. She wanted to keep it as a pet. + +"Look, Mommy, I found a mole!" Lily shouted, running to the house with her bucket. + +"Oh, Lily, that's not a good idea," Mommy said, looking at the mole. "The mole is not a toy. It is a wild animal. It needs to live in the ground, not in a bucket. It is very unhappy and helpless. You should value its life and let it go." + +"But I like it, Mommy. It is soft and cute. Can I keep it, please?" Lily begged, holding the bucket. + +"No, Lily, you can't. It is not fair to the mole. It is not a friend for you. It is a friend for the earth. You have to be kind and let it go. Maybe you can find another toy to play with," Mommy said, gently taking the bucket from Lily. + +Lily was sad, but she knew Mommy was right. She followed Mommy to the garden and watched as she put the mole back in the hole. The mole quickly burrowed into the dirt and disappeared. + +"Bye, mole. I'm sorry I scared you. I hope you are happy now," Lily said, waving her hand. + +Mommy hugged Lily and smiled. "You are a good girl, Lily. You did the right thing. The mole is happy now, and so am I. I love you, Lily." + +"I love you too, Mommy," Lily said, smiling back. She felt better. She still liked moles, but she knew they were not pets. She decided to play with her teddy bear instead. She named it Mole. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big tree with many leaves and branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see what was up there. + +They held hands and walked to the tree. They found a low branch and pulled themselves up. They climbed higher and higher, until they reached a big hole in the trunk. They looked inside and saw a nest. + +"Wow, look at the nest!" Lily said. "It has eggs and feathers and sticks. Do you think a bird lives here?" + +"Maybe," Tom said. "But we should be careful. We don't want to scare the bird or break the eggs." + +They gazed at the nest for a long time. They saw the eggs were blue and speckled. They touched the feathers and felt how soft they were. They wondered how the bird made the nest with its beak. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud chirp. They turned around and saw a bird flying towards them. It had red and yellow feathers and a long tail. It looked angry and scared. + +"Uh-oh, it's the bird!" Tom said. "It wants its nest back. We should go down." + +"OK, let's go," Lily said. "But we can come back another day and say hello to the bird and its babies." + +They climbed down the tree as fast as they could. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They told her about the nest and the bird. She smiled and hugged them. + +"That sounds like a wonderful adventure," she said. "But you should always be respectful of nature and its creatures. They have their own homes and families, just like us." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They looked at the sky and saw it was clear and blue. They saw the bird flying back to its nest. They waved and said, "Bye-bye, bird. See you soon." +Anna liked to play with her glass beads. She had many colors and shapes. She made necklaces and bracelets for her dolls. One day, she wanted to show her beads to her friend Lily. + +She put all her beads in a small bag and went to Lily's house. Lily was happy to see Anna and her beads. They played together in Lily's room. They made pretty things with the beads. + +But then, something bad happened. Anna dropped her bag and the beads spilled on the floor. Some of them rolled under the bed and the dresser. Anna and Lily tried to find them, but they could not see them. + +"Where did they go?" Anna asked. "Did they disappear?" + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe they are hiding. Let's look again." + +They looked and looked, but they still could not find all the beads. Anna was sad and confused. She liked her beads very much. She did not want to lose them. + +"Don't worry, Anna," Lily said. "We will find them later. Maybe they will come out when we are not looking. They are just playing a trick on us." + +Anna hoped that Lily was right. She hugged Lily and thanked her for being a good friend. She decided to leave her bag at Lily's house until they found all the beads. She hoped they would not disappear again. +Lily and Ben were going to the park with Mom. They were very happy. They liked to play on the swings and slide. But when they got to the car, they saw a bad thing. A thief was trying to take their car! + +"Hey, stop!" Mom shouted. She ran to the car and pushed the thief away. The thief ran away fast. Mom called the police on her phone. + +Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They wanted to go to the park, but now they had to wait. The car was broken. The thief had made a big hole in the window. Glass was everywhere. It was very uncomfortable. + +"Mom, can we still go to the park?" Lily asked. + +"I'm sorry, sweetie, but we have to delay our trip. The police need to talk to us and we need to fix the car. Maybe we can go tomorrow," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They hugged Mom and said they loved her. Mom hugged them back and said she loved them too. They waited for the police to come and help them. They hoped the thief would not come back. They hoped they could go to the park soon. +Sara and Ben like to play in the yard. They have a lot of toys, like balls, cars, dolls and blocks. They also have a fence that goes around the yard. The fence keeps them safe from the street and the big dogs. + +One day, a new girl moves in next door. Her name is Mia. She has long hair and a big smile. She comes to the fence and says hello to Sara and Ben. She asks if she can play with them. + +Sara and Ben are happy to have a new friend. They say yes and show her their toys. Mia likes the toys, but she is very bossy. She tells Sara and Ben what to do and how to play. She says, "I want the ball. You give me the ball. You play with the doll. You play with the car. I am the leader. You do what I say." + +Sara and Ben do not like Mia's bossy voice. They do not like to be told what to do. They want to have fun and share their toys. They say, "No, Mia. You are not the leader. You are not nice. You have to share and take turns. You have to be kind and polite. You have to include us in the game. We are friends, not followers." + +Mia does not like Sara and Ben's words. She does not like to share and take turns. She does not like to be kind and polite. She does not like to include them in the game. She says, "Fine. I do not want to play with you. You are not fun. You are not smart. You are not my friends. I will play by myself." + +She goes to the other side of the fence and plays with her own toys. She is alone and sad. Sara and Ben look at her and feel sorry for her. They say, "Mia, come back. We can play together. We can be friends. We can have fun. We can include you in the game. We can be nice and fair. We can be happy." + +Mia hears Sara and Ben's words. She thinks for a moment. She realizes that she was wrong. She says, "I am sorry, Sara and Ben. I was bossy and rude. I did not share and take turns. I did not include you in the game. I want to play with you. I want to be your friend. I want to have fun. I want to be nice and fair. I want to be happy." + +She goes back to the fence and smiles. Sara and Ben smile back. They give her a hug and a toy. They say, "It's okay, Mia. We forgive you. We are glad you are here. We are happy to play with you. We are happy to be your friend. We are happy to include you in the game. We are happy to be nice and fair. We are happy to be happy." + +They play together in the yard. They share and take turns. They include each other in the game. They are kind and polite. They are friends, not followers. They are happy, not sad. They have fun, not fights. They have a lot of toys, but the best thing they have is each other. +Tom liked to perform for his family. He had a sword made of wood and a cape made of cloth. He pretended to be a brave knight who fought dragons and saved princesses. He liked to make noises and act out his adventures. + +One day, he asked his sister Anna to be his princess. Anna was older than Tom and liked to read books and play with dolls. She did not want to be a princess. She said, "No, Tom, I don't want to play with you. Your sword is not real and your cape is ordinary. You are silly and loud." + +Tom felt sad and angry. He said, "You are mean and boring. My sword is real and my cape is special. I am not silly and loud, I am fun and brave. You don't know how to play." + +He ran away to his room and slammed the door. He hugged his sword and his cape and cried. He wished he had a real princess who liked his perform. + +His mom heard the noise and came to his room. She knocked on the door and said, "Tom, can I come in? What's wrong?" + +Tom opened the door and told his mom what happened. His mom hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. Anna was not nice to you. She should have played with you or said no politely. But you know, your sword and your cape are not real. They are toys that you use to imagine and perform. And that's okay. You can have fun with them and pretend to be anything you want. But you also have to respect that other people may not want to play the same way as you. And that's okay too. You can find other friends who like to perform with you, or you can play by yourself and make up your own stories. You are a creative and brave boy, and I love you." + +Tom smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. Can I perform for you later?" + +His mom said, "Of course, Tom. I would love to see your perform. But first, why don't you go and say sorry to Anna? Maybe she will want to watch your perform too, or play something else with you." + +Tom nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will say sorry to Anna. And maybe I can lend her my sword and my cape, if she wants to try them." + +He ran to Anna's room and knocked on the door. He said, "Anna, I'm sorry. I was rude to you. Do you want to play with me?" +Anna liked to draw with ink. She had many colors of ink and many papers to draw on. She liked to make pictures of animals, flowers, and stars. She was happy when she drew. + +One day, her brother Ben came to her room. He saw her ink and papers. He wanted to play with them. He said, "Can I draw with you?" Anna said, "No, these are mine. Go away." Ben was angry. He said, "You are mean. I will take your ink and papers." He grabbed some of them and ran away. + +Anna was sad and angry. She ran after him. She said, "Give them back! They are mine!" Ben said, "No, they are mine now. You can't have them." He ran to the kitchen. He spilled some ink on the table and the floor. He made a big mess. + +Mom saw the mess. She was troubled. She said, "What is going on here? Who spilled the ink?" Ben said, "It was Anna. She did it." Anna said, "No, it was Ben. He took my ink and papers and ran away." Mom looked at them. She said, "You are both wrong. You should not lie and fight. You should share and be kind." + +Mom took the ink and papers from Ben. She gave some back to Anna. She said, "You can draw with your ink and papers, but only in your room. And you have to clean up after yourself." She said to Ben, "You can draw with some ink and papers, too, but only in the living room. And you have to help me clean up this mess." She said to both of them, "And you have to say sorry to each other and hug." She suggest, "Maybe you can draw something nice for each other and make up." + +Anna and Ben felt sorry. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They said sorry to Mom and helped her clean up. They drew something nice for each other with their ink and papers. Anna drew a car for Ben. Ben drew a flower for Anna. They gave their pictures to each other and smiled. They were happy again. +Anna loved to play with bubbles. She had a big bottle of bubble soap and a wand that made many bubbles at once. She liked to blow bubbles in the park, in the garden, and in her room. + +One day, she wanted to blow bubbles in the kitchen. She asked her mom, "Can I blow bubbles here?" + +Her mom said, "No, Anna, you can't. The bubbles will make a mess on the floor and the table. And they might pop on the stove and the food. You can blow bubbles outside or in your room, but not in the kitchen." + +Anna was sad. She really wanted to blow bubbles in the kitchen. She thought it would be fun to see the bubbles float over the sink and the fridge. She decided to wait until her mom was busy and then sneak into the kitchen with her bottle and wand. + +She waited until her mom went to the bathroom. Then she ran into the kitchen and opened the bottle. She dipped the wand and blew as hard as she could. She made a lot of bubbles. They were big and shiny and colorful. She laughed and clapped her hands. + +But then she heard her mom coming back. She quickly hid the bottle and wand under the table. She hoped her mom would not see the bubbles. + +But her mom did see the bubbles. She saw them on the floor, on the table, on the stove, and on the food. She was angry. She said, "Anna, what did you do? I told you not to blow bubbles in the kitchen. Look at this mess. You are very naughty. You have to clean it up right now." + +Anna was embarrassed. She knew she did something wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to blow bubbles. I won't do it again." + +Her mom said, "You have to listen to me, Anna. I don't allow you to blow bubbles in the kitchen because it is dangerous and dirty. You have to be careful and respectful. Now, help me clean up and then go to your room. No more bubbles for today." + +Anna nodded. She helped her mom clean up the bubbles. She felt bad. She wished she had listened to her mom. She learned her lesson. She never blew bubbles in the kitchen again. +Sam and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big bush with red flowers. They want to pick some flowers for their moms. + +"Look, Jen, how pretty!" Sam says. He runs to the bush and pulls a flower. + +"Ow!" He cries. "The bush has thorns! They hurt my hand!" + +Jen runs to Sam and looks at his hand. He has a small cut and some blood. Jen feels sorry for Sam. + +"Let me help you, Sam," she says. She takes a tissue from her pocket and wraps it around his hand. "There, that will make it better." + +Sam smiles at Jen. He is glad she is his friend. + +"Thank you, Jen," he says. "You are very kind." + +They hug each other. Then they look at the bush again. + +"Maybe we should not pick the flowers," Jen says. "The bush does not like it. It works hard to grow them." + +Sam nods. He agrees with Jen. + +"Maybe we can draw the flowers instead," he says. "We can use our crayons and paper. Then we can give them to our moms." + +Jen likes Sam's idea. She thinks it is fun and nice. + +"Let's do that," she says. "But first, let's find a dull rock to sharpen our crayons. They are too blunt." + +They look around and find a dull rock. They rub their crayons on it until they are sharp. Then they sit on the grass and draw the bush and the flowers. They use many colors and make them look beautiful. + +They are happy with their drawings. They think their moms will like them too. + +They hold their drawings and run to their moms.

What is your name?" Lily asks. + +"His name is Coco. He is my friend. Do you want to pet him?" a girl says. She is wearing a pink dress and a flower in her hair. + +"Yes, please. He is very cute," Lily says. She pets Coco and he licks her hand. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. This is my brother Ben. We are on vacation," Lily says. + +"Hi, I'm Mia. I live here.

It is a coin. + +"Wow, a coin!" Anna says. "Maybe it is a magic coin." + +"Maybe," Ben says. "Can we take it?" + +They try to reach the coin, but the hole is too deep. Their hands are too small. + +"Oh no, we can't get it," Anna says. + +"Maybe we can use a stick," Ben says. + +They look around and find a stick. They put the stick in the hole and try to move the coin. But the stick is too short. + +"It doesn't work," Ben says. + +They look at each other and feel sad. They want the coin. + +"Maybe we can ask Mom for help," Anna says. + +"Maybe," Ben says. + +They run to the house and find Mom. They tell her about the hole and the coin. + +"Can you help us get the coin, Mom?" Anna says. + +"Please, Mom," Ben says. + +Mom smiles and nods. She follows them to the garden. She sees the hole and the coin. + +"That's a big hole," Mom says. "And that's a nice coin. Do you know what it is?" + +Anna and Ben shake their heads. They don't know. + +"It is a quarter," Mom says. "It is worth 25 cents. You can use it to buy something." + +"Wow, really?" Anna says. + +"Really," Mom says. + +She takes a longer stick and puts it in the hole. She pushes the coin out of the hole.

He poured some flour, some sugar, some eggs, some milk, and some cocoa into the bowl. He stirred them with the spoon. The mixture looked brown and sticky. + +"Now we need to bake it," Ben said. He turned on the oven and put the bowl inside. He did not know how long to wait. + +Sara saw a teaspoon on the counter. It was shiny and small. She liked it. She took it and put it in her pocket. + +"Ben, can I have this teaspoon?" she asked. + +Ben looked at her. He did not care about the teaspoon. He wanted the cake. + +"Sure, you can have it," he said. "But you have to promise me something." + +"What?" Sara asked. + +"You have to promise me that you will share the cake with me when it is done," Ben said. + +"OK, I promise," Sara said. She crossed her fingers behind her back. She did not want to share the cake. She wanted it all for herself. + +They waited for the cake to be done. They smelled something burning. They saw smoke coming out of the oven. They heard a loud beep. + +"Uh-oh, I think the cake is ready," Ben said. He opened the oven and took out the bowl. The cake was black and hard. It looked dull and nasty. + +"Yuck, what is that?" Sara said. + +"That is our cake," Ben said. He was sad. He had wasted all the ingredients and made a mess. + +"Can we eat it?" Sara asked. + +"No, we can't. It is bad. We have to throw it away," Ben said. + +He took the cake and threw it in the trash. He felt sorry for himself.
