She made a house, a car, a boat, and a rocket. She used scissors, tape, and markers to decorate them. She was very proud of her cardboard creations. + +One day, her friend Lily came over to play. Lily saw Anna's cardboard rocket and said, "Wow, that's so cool! Can I play with it?" + +Anna said, "Yes, you can. But be careful. It's very fragile." + +Lily nodded and took the rocket. She pretended to fly it around the room. She made zooming and blasting noises. She had a lot of fun. + +But then, she tripped over a toy and fell. The cardboard rocket crashed to the floor.

Anna slammed the door behind her. + +She sat on the floor and looked at the trash. She saw the cardboard pieces. She remembered how hard she worked on them. She remembered how much she loved them.

But their mom said they could not have too much chocolate, because it was rare and expensive. She only bought chocolate for special days, like birthdays or holidays. + +One day, Lily and Ben saw a big box of chocolate on the kitchen table. It had a red ribbon and a card that said "Happy Anniversary". They knew it was for their mom and dad, who had been married for ten years. They wanted to taste the chocolate, but they also knew they should not touch it. + +"Let's just have one piece," Lily whispered to Ben. "Mom and dad won't notice." + +Ben nodded. He was curious about the chocolate too. He lifted the lid of the box and saw many different shapes and colors of chocolate. He picked a round one with sprinkles and gave it to Lily. He took a square one with nuts for himself. + +They put the chocolates in their mouths and bit down. They were delicious! They felt the chocolate melt on their tongues and fill their mouths with sweetness. They smiled at each other and reached for another piece. + +But then they heard the door open and their mom's voice. "We're home, kids! We have a surprise for you!" + +Lily and Ben gasped. They knew they were in trouble. They quickly put the lid back on the box and ran to their room. They hoped their mom and dad would not see the chocolate on their faces and hands. + +They did not hurry fast enough. Their mom and dad followed them to their room and saw the chocolate stains. They looked at the box and saw the missing pieces. They were not happy. + +"Did you eat our chocolate?" their mom asked. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They felt sorry and scared. They did not know what to say. + +Their mom and dad sighed. They were not very angry, but they were disappointed. They explained to Lily and Ben that the chocolate was a gift for them, and that it was rare and expensive. They said they wanted to share it with them, but only after dinner.

They pretend they are spies and look for hidden things. + +"Look, Ben, I see a big order of ice cream over there!" Anna says, pointing to a cart. "Let's go and get some!" + +"OK, Anna, but we have to be careful. There might be bad guys who want our ice cream. We have to use our spy skills!" Ben says, putting on his sunglasses. + +They walk slowly to the cart, looking around. They see a man with a beard and a coat. He looks mean. + +"Anna, I think he is a bad guy. He is watching us. Maybe he has a hidden gun!" Ben whispers. + +"Shh, Ben, don't be scared. We have our hats and sunglasses. He can't see us. We are too smart for him!" Anna whispers back. + +They reach the cart and ask for two cones of ice cream. The man with the beard and coat comes closer. He smiles. + +"Hello, kids, do you like ice cream?" he says. + +"Yes, we do, but we don't like you. You are a bad guy. Go away!" Anna says, holding her cone. + +The man laughs.

You can read it and learn more spy skills. Do you like it?" he asks. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They love books. They thank their dad. + +"We love it, dad. Thank you. You are a great spy.

Do you like it?" + +Mom smiled and said, "I love it, Lily. It is very beautiful and cozy. I'm sure dad will love it too. You are very clever and creative." + +Lily hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. Can we give it to dad when he comes home?" + +Mom nodded and said, "Of course, we can. Let's wrap it in a nice paper and put a bow on it. It will be a great surprise for him." + +Lily and mom wrapped the hat and waited for dad to come home.

They saw many animals, like lions, bears, and birds. But their favorite animal was the monkey. The monkeys were funny and smart. They jumped, played, and made noises. + +"Can we order a monkey, mom?" Tom asked. He wanted to have a monkey as a pet. + +"No, Tom, we can't order a monkey," mom said. "Monkeys belong in the zoo, not in our home. They need a lot of space and care. And they can be naughty and messy." + +"But mom, I love monkeys," Tom said. He made a sad face. + +"I know, Tom, but you can't have everything you want," mom said. "You can love monkeys from afar, and visit them at the zoo. But you have to respect their home and their freedom." + +Anna nodded. She agreed with mom. She also loved monkeys, but she understood that they were not toys. She looked at the monkeys and smiled. She saw one monkey holding a clear bottle. The monkey drank from the bottle and then threw it away. + +"Look, mom, that monkey is drinking water," Anna said. "He is thirsty." + +"Yes, Anna, that monkey is drinking water," mom said. "But he shouldn't throw the bottle away. That is not good for the environment. We should always recycle and reuse our bottles." + +Mom picked up the bottle and put it in a bin. She taught Tom and Anna to be kind to animals and to nature. Tom and Anna learned a lot from mom and from the monkeys. They had a fun and educational day at the zoo. +Lily and Tom were very happy. They were going on a holiday with Mum and Dad. They packed their bags and got in the car. They sang songs and played games on the way. + +They arrived at a big house near the sea. It was their holiday home. They ran inside and chose their rooms. Lily picked a room with a pink bed and a window. Tom picked a room with a blue bed and a toy box. + +They wanted to go to the beach, but Mum said they had to wait. She had to unpack and make lunch. Lily and Tom were bored. They decided to explore the house. They found a door that was locked. They wondered what was behind it. + +They tried to open the door, but it did not move. They pushed and pulled, but it did not budge. They heard a noise from the other side. It sounded like a growl. They got scared. They screamed. + +Mum and Dad heard them scream. They ran to the door. They saw Lily and Tom crying. They asked them what was wrong. Lily and Tom said there was a monster behind the door. They pointed at the door. + +Mum and Dad looked at the door. They saw a sign that said "Do not disturb". They opened the door. They saw a man sleeping on a sofa. He had a beard and a hat. He was not a monster. He was their uncle. + +He woke up and saw them. He was very angry. He shouted at them. He said they were rude. He said they should not scream. He said they should not bother him.

They were having fun until Ben saw Lily's doll and wanted it. + +"Can I have your doll?" Ben asked Lily. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. "You have your car." + +"But I like your doll more. It has a pretty dress and hair. My car is old and dirty." Ben said. + +He tried to grab the doll from Lily, but she held it tight and shouted. + +"Stop it, Ben! You are mean and rude!" Lily said. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw Ben and Lily fighting over the doll and felt troubled. She wanted them to share and be nice to each other. + +She thought of an idea and went to get something from her closet. She came back with a suit that belonged to their dad. It was big and blue and had a tie and buttons. + +"Look what I have, kids. It's a suit. It's very special and fancy. Do you want to try it on?" she said. + +She offered the suit to Ben and Lily. They stopped fighting and looked at the suit. They were curious and excited. + +"Wow, a suit! Can I wear it, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, Ben. But you have to let Lily play with your car. And Lily, you have to let Ben play with your doll. That's how you share and be fair." mom said. + +"Okay, mom. I will share." Ben said. + +"Me too, mom. I will share." Lily said. + +They gave each other their toys and smiled. Ben put on the suit and felt very grown-up. Lily drove the car and made vroom-vroom noises. They played happily and thanked their mom for the suit. + +Mom was glad that they solved their problem and learned to share. She hugged them and said. + +"I love you, kids. You are both wonderful." she said. + +The end. +Sara and Ben liked to go to the pond with their dad. They liked to see the ducks and the fish and the frogs. Sometimes they brought bread to feed the ducks, or worms to catch the fish. But today they had something special. They had a jar with two tadpoles inside. + +"Dad, can we release the tadpoles in the pond?" Sara asked. "We found them in a puddle, but they need more water and plants and friends." + +"Yes, you can, but be careful," Dad said. "The pond is big and deep, and you don't want to fall in. Hold the jar with both hands, and walk slowly to the edge. Then tip the jar gently and let the tadpoles swim out." + +Sara and Ben did as Dad said. They walked to the pond, holding the jar. They saw the water sparkling in the sun, and the ducks quacking and splashing. They found a spot where the water was clear and green, and there were some lily pads and reeds. + +"Ready, Ben?" Sara said. + +"Ready, Sara," Ben said. + +They tipped the jar and watched the tadpoles slide out. The tadpoles wiggled their tails and darted away. Sara and Ben smiled and clapped. + +"Bye, tadpoles!" they said. "Have fun in the pond!" + +They hoped the tadpoles would grow into frogs and be happy. They thought the pond was a perfect home for them. They thanked Dad for taking them to the pond, and they went back to the car. They had a good day. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big hill. They want to have a race. + +"Let's run to the top of the hill!" Ben says. "Whoever gets there first is the winner!" + +"OK!" Lily says. "But I am little. You are bigger. You can run faster." + +"That's OK. I will give you a head start. You can go first. I will count to three. Then I will go. Ready?" + +Lily nods. She is excited. She wonders if she can win the race. + +"Go!" Ben says. He starts counting. "One, two, three!" + +Lily runs as fast as she can. She feels the wind in her hair. She sees the sky and the trees. She hears Ben behind her. He is catching up. + +"Come on, Lily! You can do it!" Ben says. + +Lily smiles. She likes Ben. He is a good friend. He is not mean. He cheers for her. + +They are almost at the top of the hill. Lily sees a big rock. She thinks it is the finish line. She runs towards it. + +"I did it! I did it!" Lily says. She touches the rock. She turns around. She sees Ben. He is right behind her. He touches the rock too. + +"We did it! We did it!" Ben says. He hugs Lily. They are both happy. They laugh. + +They look at the view. They see the park and the houses and the cars. They see the sun and the clouds. They see a bird and a butterfly. + +"Wow! It is so pretty!" Lily says. + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "And you know what? You are a great runner! You are fast and strong and brave!" + +"Thank you!" Lily says. "And you are a great friend! You are kind and fun and fair!" + +They smile at each other. They sit on the rock. They watch the world. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They like to dig in the sand with their shovels. They find many things in the sand: a shell, a rock, a button. They put them in a pile. + +Tom has a blue coat. He is hot. He takes off his coat and puts it on the grass. He goes back to dig with Lily. They have fun. + +A big dog comes to the park. He sees Tom's coat. He thinks it is a toy. He runs to the coat and grabs it with his teeth. He shakes it and tears it. He digs a hole and buries the coat in the sand. + +Tom and Lily see the dog. They are scared and angry. They run to the dog and shout at him. "Bad dog! Give back Tom's coat! That is not your toy!" + +The dog barks and runs away. Tom and Lily look for the coat. They find the hole and dig it out. The coat is dirty and ripped. Tom is sad. He cries. + +Lily hugs Tom. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. Your coat is broken. But you are fine. You are my friend. We can share my coat. It is big and warm." + +Tom smiles. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are very nice. You are my friend too. We can share your coat. It is pink and pretty." + +They put on Lily's coat and hold hands. They go to their moms and tell them what happened. Their moms are sorry and proud. They say, "You are brave and kind. You are good friends. We will get you a new coat, Tom. Don't worry." + +Tom and Lily are happy. They hug their moms and each other. They go home. They are fine. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to jog in the park. They jog fast and slow. They jog up and down. They jog with their dog, Rex. + +One day, they jog to the pond. They see ducks and fish. They want to feed them. They have bread in their bag. They take out some bread and throw it to the water. + +"Look, the ducks are happy!" Tim says. + +"Yes, they are. And the fish, too!" Sam says. + +They watch the ducks and fish eat the bread. They smile and laugh. They forget about Rex. + +Rex is hungry. He smells the bread. He runs to the bag. He opens it with his teeth. He eats all the bread. He makes the bag dirty. + +Tim and Sam hear Rex. They turn around. They see Rex and the bag. + +"Rex, no!" Tim shouts. + +"Bad dog!" Sam shouts. + +They run to Rex. They try to take the bag from him. Rex growls and shakes his head. He does not want to give the bag. + +Tim and Sam are sad and angry. They have no more bread. They have a dirty bag. They have a naughty dog. + +They scold Rex. They tell him he is not a good friend. They tell him he has to say sorry. + +Rex looks at them. He feels sorry. He wags his tail. He licks their faces. + +Tim and Sam forgive Rex. They hug him. They say he is still their friend. They say they love him. + +They jog back home. They are happy again. They do not forget Rex. They do not forget the bread. They do not forget the ducks and fish. They remember their fun day. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a mouse. The mouse was her favorite toy. It was soft and brown and had a long tail. She named it Mimi and took it everywhere. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Mimi. She enjoyed the swings, the slide and the sandbox. She made a big castle with sand and put Mimi on top. She was very happy. + +But then, a big boy came and saw Mimi. He wanted to play with it too. He grabbed Mimi from the castle and ran away. Lily was very angry. She shouted, "Give me back my mouse! It is mine!" + +The boy did not listen. He laughed and threw Mimi in the air. He did not care if Mimi got hurt. Lily ran after him and tried to get Mimi back. She cried, "Please, stop! You are mean!" + +The boy did not stop. He ran to the pond and threw Mimi in the water. He thought it was funny. But Lily did not think so. She was very sad. She loved Mimi and did not want to lose it. + +But then, something happened. A big duck saw Mimi in the water and thought it was a snack. It swam to Mimi and opened its beak. The boy saw the duck and got scared. He did not want the duck to eat his toy. He yelled, "No, no, no! That is my mouse!" + +But it was too late. The duck bit Mimi and took it away. The boy could not get it back. He was very sorry. He wished he had not been so mean to Lily. + +Lily saw the duck and Mimi too. She was very sad. She cried, "Mimi, Mimi, Mimi!" She wanted to hug Mimi and say sorry. She wished the boy had not been so mean to her. + +But then, something else happened. The duck did not like Mimi. It tasted bad. It spit Mimi out and quacked. Mimi flew in the air and landed on the grass. Lily saw Mimi and ran to it. She picked it up and hugged it. She was very happy. + +The boy saw Mimi and Lily too. He felt bad. He walked to Lily and said, "I am sorry. I was mean to you and your mouse. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at the boy and Mimi. She saw that the boy was sorry and that Mimi was okay. She smiled and said, "Yes, I forgive you. But you have to be nice to me and Mimi. Mimi is my friend." + +The boy nodded and said, "Okay, I will be nice to you and Mimi. Mimi is your friend. Can I be your friend too?" + +Lily thought for a moment and said, "Yes, you can be my friend too. But you have to share and be kind. Do you want to play with me and Mimi?" + +The boy smiled and said, "Yes, I want to play with you and Mimi. Do you want to play in the sandbox?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I want to play in the sandbox. Come on, let's go!" + +They went to the sandbox and played together. They made a new castle and put Mimi on top. They enjoyed the park and each other. They were happy. +Tom and Sue like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make a stack of blocks as high as they can. Sometimes the stack falls down and they laugh. + +One day, they find a new block in their toy box. It is black and round. They have never seen a block like this before. They wonder what it is and what they can do with it. + +"Look, Sue, a black block!" Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom, it is black and round. What is it?" Sue asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a ball. Can we roll it?" Tom says. + +They try to roll the black block, but it does not roll very well. It is too heavy and bumpy. + +"No, it is not a ball. It is too hard. Can we stack it?" Sue says. + +They try to stack the black block, but it does not stack very well. It is too big and round. + +"No, it is not a stack. It is too big. Can we throw it?" Tom says. + +They try to throw the black block, but it does not fly very well. It is too heavy and slow. + +"No, it is not a throw. It is too heavy. What can we do with it?" Sue says. + +They sit down and look at the black block. They are puzzled and curious. They want to know more about it. + +"Let's discuss it. Maybe we can find out what it is and what it is for," Tom says. + +"OK, let's discuss it. Maybe it is a special block. Maybe it has a secret inside," Sue says. + +They start to discuss the black block. They ask each other questions and share their ideas. They have fun talking and thinking. They are not bored anymore. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They found a big jar of red sauce and a long string on the counter. + +"Let's make spaghetti!" Ben said. He opened the jar and poured some sauce on a plate. He took the string and cut it into pieces. He put the pieces on the sauce and mixed them. + +"Here you go, Lily. Spaghetti for you!" He gave her a fork and a napkin. + +Lily smiled and took a bite. But as soon as she tasted the food, she made a funny face. Her mouth felt hot and her eyes watered. She spit out the food and cried. + +"Ben, this is not spaghetti! This is spicy! And this is not string! This is yarn!" She pointed at the label on the string. It said "yarn for knitting". + +Ben looked at the label and the sauce. He realized he made a mistake. He felt sorry for Lily and hugged her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know. I thought it was spaghetti and string. I wanted to make you happy. Are you okay?" + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She hugged Ben back. + +"It's okay, Ben. I know you tried. But next time, let's ask Mommy before we use her things. Maybe she can help us make real spaghetti. And maybe we can use the yarn for something else. Like making a scarf or a hat." + +Ben agreed. He and Lily cleaned up the mess and put the jar and the yarn back. They decided to play something else until Mommy came home. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that not everything that looks like food is food. And they learned that spicy sauce and yarn do not taste good together. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big balloon seller with many colorful balloons. They ran to him and asked for a balloon each. + +"Here you go, little ones. But be careful, don't let go of the strings, or the balloons will rise and fly away," the balloon seller said. + +Tom and Lily nodded and thanked him. They held their balloons tightly and ran around the park, feeling happy. They saw a fountain, a slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Tom saw a bottle on the ground. He was curious and wanted to see what was inside. He let go of his balloon string and picked up the bottle. He opened it and smelled it. It was juice! + +"Look, Lily, I found juice!" Tom shouted. + +Lily turned around and saw Tom holding the bottle. She also saw his balloon rising in the air, getting smaller and smaller. + +"Tom, you were careless! You lost your balloon!" Lily cried. + +Tom looked up and saw his balloon flying away. He felt sad and sorry. He dropped the bottle and ran to Lily. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was careless. Can I share your balloon?" + +Lily was angry at first, but then she felt sorry for Tom. She loved her brother and wanted him to be happy. She hugged him back and said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. You can share my balloon. But don't let go of the string again, okay?" + +Tom nodded and smiled. He thanked Lily and held the string with her. They walked back to the park, holding their balloon together. They learned to be careful and to share. They were happy again. +Anna liked to help her mom deliver food to people who needed it. She put the food in a big bag and carried it with her mom to the car. They drove to a house with a red door and knocked. + +"Hello, we are here to deliver food for you," mom said to the lady who opened the door. + +"Thank you so much, you are very kind," the lady said. She smiled and took the bag from Anna. + +Anna saw a little girl behind the lady. She had a pink dress and a doll. Anna wanted to play with her. + +"Hi, I'm Anna. What's your name?" Anna asked. + +"I'm True. Do you want to see my doll?" True asked. + +"Yes, please," Anna said. She followed True to her room. + +They played with the doll and talked for a while. Anna liked True. She was nice and funny. + +But then Anna heard her mom call her name. + +"Anna, we have to go. We have more food to deliver," mom said. + +"Okay, mom. I'm coming," Anna said. She got up and said goodbye to True. + +"Bye, Anna. Come back soon," True said. + +Anna ran to the car and got in. She was happy to have a new friend. + +But then she realized something. She had forgotten to give True something. She had brought a cookie for her. She had hidden it in her pocket. She wanted to share it with True. + +She felt ashamed. She had been selfish. She had kept the cookie for herself. + +She looked at the cookie in her hand. She wished she could go back and give it to True. + +She told her mom what happened. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I forgot to give True the cookie. I wanted to share it with her. But I was too busy playing. I feel bad," Anna said. + +Mom hugged her and kissed her head. + +"It's okay, Anna. You made a mistake. But you are a good girl. You wanted to be nice to True. You can give her the cookie next time we deliver food to her. I'm sure she will be happy to see you again," mom said. + +Anna smiled. She felt better. She hoped True would like the cookie. She hoped True would still be her friend. +Tom was a restless boy who liked to play pirate. He had a hat, a sword and a patch for his eye. He liked to run around the house and pretend he was sailing on a big ship. He said "Arrr!" and "Ahoy!" and "Shiver me timbers!" + +One day, his mom told him to remind his dad to buy some milk on his way home. Tom said "Okay, mom" and ran to his room. He put on his hat, his sword and his patch and grabbed his phone. He called his dad and said "Dad, you are a pirate too. We need some milk for our ship. Don't forget to buy some milk, or the captain will be angry. Arrr!" + +His dad laughed and said "Okay, Tom, I will buy some milk. You are a very good pirate. I love you." Tom said "I love you too, dad. See you soon. Ahoy!" He hung up the phone and smiled. He was happy to remind his dad to buy some milk. He was a helpful pirate. He went back to his room and played some more. He had a lot of fun. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Sara wants to go first. She climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. She puts on her sunglasses. She thinks she looks cool. + +"Look at me, Ben!" she says. "I have sunglasses!" + +Ben looks at her. He smiles. He has an idea. He runs to the sandbox and finds a stick. He puts the stick on his head. He thinks he looks funny. + +"Look at me, Sara!" he says. "I have a stick!" + +Sara looks at him. She laughs. She has another idea. She slides down the slide and picks up a furry hat. She puts the hat on her head. She thinks she looks warm. + +"Look at me, Ben!" she says. "I have a furry hat!" + +Ben looks at her. He giggles. He has another idea. He climbs up the ladder and stands on the slide. He tries to balance on one foot. He thinks he looks brave. + +"Look at me, Sara!" he says. "I can balance!" + +Sara looks at him. She gasps. She thinks he looks silly. + +"Be careful, Ben!" she says. "You might fall!" + +Ben wobbles. He loses his balance. He falls off the slide. He lands on the grass. He drops his stick. He is not hurt. He is just surprised. + +"Oops!" he says. + +Sara runs to him. She helps him up. She gives him a hug. She shares her furry hat with him. They both laugh. + +"Let's play something else!" she says. + +"OK!" he says. + +They take off their sunglasses, their stick and their furry hat. They put them in a pile. They run to the swings. They have fun. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat lunch. Mom said, "Wait a little. I am making something good for you." + +Lily and Ben waited and waited. They played with their toys. They looked at their books. They sang a song. But they were still hungry. + +Then they heard a ding. Mom said, "Lunch is ready!" She came out of the kitchen with a big smile. She had two plates in her hands. She put one plate in front of Lily and one plate in front of Ben. + +Lily and Ben looked at their plates. They saw green things, orange things, red things, and brown things. They smelled yummy. Mom said, "These are healthy foods. They make you strong and happy. Try them and see." + +Lily and Ben tried the healthy foods. They liked them. They ate and ate. They said, "Thank you, Mom. This is a good lunch." Mom said, "You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you like it." She gave them a hug and a kiss. Lily and Ben smiled. They felt full and happy. They saw a rainbow appear in the sky. They said, "Wow, look at that!" They ran to the window to see it better. Mom said, "That's a beautiful rainbow. It's a sign of hope and joy." Lily and Ben said, "We love you, Mom. And we love rainbows." They hugged Mom again. They were a happy family. +Tom and Mia liked to look at the stars at night. They had a big window in their room and a soft rug to lie on. Sometimes they saw bright lights in the sky that moved fast. They were comets, their dad told them. Comets were made of ice and dust and they came from far away. + +One night, Tom and Mia saw a very big comet. It was so bright that it made the sky glow. They ran to the window and watched it with wide eyes. "Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "It's so pretty!" + +Mia nodded. "Maybe it will drop something for us," she said. "Like a present or a wish." + +Tom laughed. "Comets don't drop things, silly. They just fly by and then go away." + +But Mia was not so sure. She had a feeling that this comet was different. She closed her eyes and made a wish. She wished for something warm and cuddly to hug. + +The next morning, Tom and Mia woke up to a loud noise. They jumped out of bed and ran to the window. There, on the lawn, was a big hole. And in the hole, there was a furry ball. It was a baby bear. It looked scared and cold. + +Tom and Mia gasped. "How did it get here?" Tom asked. + +Mia smiled. "The comet dropped it for us," she said. "It heard my wish." + +Tom was amazed. He looked at the bear and then at the sky. He wondered if the comet was still there. He decided to make a wish too. He wished for a big cage and some honey. He hoped the comet would hear him. He wanted to keep the bear as a pet. +Bella is a dog who loves to run and play. She has a big yard with grass and trees and a fence. Every day, her owner, Sam, takes her for a walk around the block. Bella is always excited to see new things and smell new smells. + +One day, Sam puts on Bella's leash and says, "Come on, Bella, let's go for a walk." Bella wags her tail and barks happily. She follows Sam out of the yard and onto the sidewalk. She sees a cat sitting on a wall. She wants to chase the cat, but Sam says, "No, Bella, leave the cat alone." Bella listens to Sam, but she still looks at the cat. + +They walk past the cat and turn the corner. They see a big puddle of water on the street. Bella likes water. She thinks it is fun to splash and get wet. She pulls on her leash and runs towards the puddle. Sam tries to stop her, but he is too late. Bella jumps into the puddle and makes a big splash. She shakes her fur and sprays water everywhere. Sam laughs and says, "Bella, you are silly. You are all wet now." + +But then, something bad happens. Bella slips on the wet street and falls down. She hurts her paw and yelps. Sam runs to her and picks her up. He says, "Oh, Bella, are you okay? I'm sorry, I should have been more careful." He hugs her and checks her paw. He sees a small cut and some blood. He says, "Don't worry, Bella, it's not a big wound. We'll go home and clean it up. You'll be fine." + +Bella feels scared and sad. She whimpers and licks Sam's face. She says, "I'm sorry, Sam. I was too excited. I didn't mean to slip and hurt myself." Sam smiles and says, "It's okay, Bella. I know you were just having fun. I love you, Bella. You are my best friend." He carries her back to the yard and takes off her leash. He gets a cloth and some water and cleans her paw. He puts a bandage on it and gives her a treat. He says, "There, Bella, you are all better now. You are a brave dog. Now, let's go inside and get dry." Bella wags her tail and follows Sam. She is happy to have such a good owner. She thinks, "Sam is my best friend, too. I love him, too." +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and swing. They saw a big oak tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb it and see the sky. + +"Can we climb the oak, Mom?" Lila asked. + +"OK, but be careful," Mom said. "Don't go too high." + +Lila and Ben ran to the oak and started to climb. They used their hands and feet to find the branches. They felt happy and brave. They went higher and higher. + +"Look, Lila, I can see the birds!" Ben said. + +"Look, Ben, I can see the clouds!" Lila said. + +They smiled and waved at each other. They did not see the dark clouds coming. They did not hear the thunder. They did not feel the rain. + +The rain started to pour. It was cold and wet. It made the oak slippery and shaky. Lila and Ben felt scared and sad. They wanted to go down, but they did not know how. + +"Mom, help us!" Lila cried. + +"Mom, help us!" Ben cried. + +Mom heard them and ran to the oak. She saw them high up in the tree. She felt worried and angry. She shouted at them. + +"Lila, Ben, what are you doing? You are very naughty! You have to come down now!" + +But Lila and Ben could not come down. They were stuck in the oak. They were tired and sore. They hugged each other and cried. The rain poured and poured. The thunder roared and roared. The oak swayed and swayed. + +Then, a big flash of light came. A loud boom of sound came. A fire came. The oak was hit by lightning. It broke and fell. Lila and Ben fell with it. They did not get up. They did not move. They did not breathe. + +Mom saw them and screamed. She ran to them and tried to help them. But it was too late. Lila and Ben were gone. Mom was alone. She was wet and cold. She was sad and sorry. She wished she had said no. She wished she had watched them. She wished she had hugged them. But she could not. The rain poured and poured. The end. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big tree with many oranges on it. Ben and Lily liked oranges. They wanted to pick some and eat them. + +But the oranges were too high for them to reach. They tried to jump and stretch, but they could not touch them. They asked their mom to help them, but she said no. She said the oranges were not theirs. They belonged to someone else. + +Ben and Lily were sad. They really wanted some oranges. They started to weep. They cried and cried. Their mom felt sorry for them. She hugged them and said, "Don't weep, my loves. I have a surprise for you." + +She took them to a bench and opened her bag.

She touched the water. It was warm and nice. She smiled. She said, "Water!" Her mom smiled too. She said, "Yes, water. Do you like the water, Anna?" Anna nodded. She said, "Yes, mom. I like the water. I like you too." Her mom hugged her. She said, "I love you, Anna. You are my sweet girl." Anna was happy. She played with the water and the soap. She forgot about the tub and the toys. She had fun. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to swing and slide and run. The sun is shining and the birds are singing. Sara and Ben are happy. + +"Look, Ben, I can swing very high!" Sara says. She pushes her feet and goes up and down. Ben watches her and claps his hands. + +"I can swing high too, Sara!" Ben says. He gets on the swing next to Sara and tries to copy her. He pushes his feet and goes up and down. But he pushes too hard and loses his grip. He falls off the swing and lands on the grass. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cries. He holds his knee and his elbow. They are red and hurt. Sara stops swinging and runs to him. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Sara asks. She feels sorry for Ben. She hugs him and kisses his knee and his elbow. "It's okay, Ben, it's okay." + +Ben stops crying and smiles at Sara. He hugs her back and says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend." + +Sara and Ben sit on the grass and look at the sky. The sky is blue and white and gray. The gray clouds are moving fast. They hear a loud noise. + +"Boom, boom, boom!" The noise is thunder. Sara and Ben are scared. They hold each other and close their eyes. + +"Let's sing a song, Ben," Sara says. She remembers a song that her mom sings to her when she is scared. She starts to sing in a soft voice. + +"Rain, rain, go away, come again another day. Sara and Ben want to play, rain, rain, go away." + +Ben listens to Sara and joins her. He sings in a soft voice too. + +"Rain, rain, go away, come again another day. Sara and Ben want to play, rain, rain, go away." + +Sara and Ben sing the song over and over. They feel better and less scared. The thunder goes away and the sun comes back.

They are happy again. +Tom and Ann are friends. They like to play on the farm. They see a big cow. The cow is black and white. It has a bell on its neck. + +"Look, a cow!" Tom says. "Can we pet it?" + +"I don't know," Ann says. "It is very big. Maybe it is not friendly." + +They go closer to the cow. The cow sees them. It makes a loud sound. "Moo!" + +Tom and Ann are scared. They run away. + +"Wait!" the cow says. "Don't be afraid. I am a nice cow. I just want to say hello." + +Tom and Ann stop. They look at the cow. The cow smiles. + +"Really?" Tom says. "You can talk?" + +"Yes, I can," the cow says. "I learned from the farmer. He talks to me every day. He gives me hay and water. He is very kind." + +"Wow," Ann says. "That is amazing. Can we be your friends?" + +"Of course," the cow says. "I like to have friends. Come, I will show you my barn. There are more animals there. They are also nice. You can pet them if you want." + +Tom and Ann are happy. They follow the cow to the barn. They try to pet the other animals. They have fun on the farm. They make new friends.

They named him Zero. + +"Zero is our friend," Sara said. "He likes the cold and the snow." + +"Yes, he does," Ben said. "But we have to go inside soon. It is getting dark and very cold." + +They hugged Zero and said goodbye. They ran to the house where their mom was waiting. She gave them hot chocolate and cookies. They told her about Zero and how much fun they had. + +"You can play with him again tomorrow," mom said. "But don't stay out too long. The weather is going to be very dry and sunny. The snow might melt." + +Sara and Ben nodded. They drank their hot chocolate and ate their cookies. They went to bed and dreamed of Zero. + +The next morning, they woke up and looked out the window. They saw Zero standing in the yard. But he looked different. He was smaller and his hat and scarf were on the ground. His carrot nose was gone and his rock eyes were loose. + +"Oh no!" Sara cried. "Zero is melting!" + +They ran outside and tried to fix him. They put his hat and scarf back on. They found another carrot and stuck it in his face. They pushed his rock eyes in. + +"Please don't melt, Zero," Ben said. "Please stay with us." + +But it was too late. The sun was too bright and the air was too dry. Zero was getting smaller and smaller. He could not talk or move. He could only freeze and watch as his friends tried to save him. + +Soon, there was nothing left of Zero but a puddle of water and some snow. Sara and Ben were very sad. They cried and hugged each other. + +"Goodbye, Zero," they said. "We will always remember you." +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play in the park with their toys. Lily has a notebook and a pencil. She likes to draw things she sees. Max has a ball and a car. He likes to run and kick. + +One day, they see a big bird in the sky. It has black and white feathers and a long neck. Lily wants to draw the bird. She opens her notebook and looks for a blank page. Max wants to play with the bird. He throws his ball at it and makes a loud noise. + +"Stop it, Max!" Lily says. She is bossy. "You are scaring the bird. I want to draw it. Be quiet and sit down." + +Max does not like to be bossy. He is angry. He grabs Lily's notebook and runs away. Lily chases him and shouts. "Give it back, Max! That's mine. You are mean." + +The bird gazes at the twins. It is curious. It flies down and lands on a bench. It picks up Lily's pencil with its beak. It starts to scribble on the notebook. It makes a mess. + +Lily and Max stop running. They see the bird and the notebook. They are surprised. They walk slowly to the bench. They look at the bird and the notebook. They laugh. + +"Wow, the bird can draw too!" Lily says. She is not bossy. She is happy. + +"Maybe it wants to play with us," Max says. He is not angry. He is friendly. + +They give the bird some bread. They share the notebook and the pencil. They draw the bird and other things. They have fun. The bird is happy too. It makes a funny sound. It is like a friend. +Tom and Lily are friends. They love to play in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They are cheerful and happy. + +One day, they see a little dog in the park. The dog is sad and scared. It has no collar and no home. Tom and Lily want to help the dog. They give it some water and a biscuit. They pet it and talk to it. The dog wags its tail and licks their faces. + +Tom and Lily decide to search for the dog's owner. They ask other people in the park if they know the dog. They look for signs and posters. They walk around the streets. But they cannot find anyone who knows the dog. + +Tom and Lily are sad. They do not want to leave the dog alone. They want to take it home. But they know their parents will not let them. They do not have enough space and money for a dog. They do not know what to do. + +Then, they see a lady in a car. She is looking for something. She has a picture of the dog in her hand. She is the dog's owner. She lost the dog when she moved to a new house. She has been searching for the dog for a long time. She is very worried and sad. + +Tom and Lily run to the lady. They show her the dog. The lady is very happy. She hugs the dog and thanks Tom and Lily. She gives them a reward and a hug. She tells them they are very kind and brave. She invites them to visit the dog anytime. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They are glad they helped the dog and the lady. They learned that it is good to help others in need. They learned that love and friendship are more important than things. They are cheerful and proud. +Sara and Tom were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells and rocks. Sara found a big shell that was shiny and pink. She showed it to Tom and said, "Look, Tom, I found a pretty shell. Do you want to see what's inside?" + +Tom nodded and took the shell from Sara. He tried to open it with his fingers, but it was too hard. He saw a rock nearby and said, "I have an idea. I can use this rock to break the shell. Then we can see what's inside." + +Sara said, "OK, Tom, but be careful. Don't hurt yourself or the shell." She watched as Tom hit the shell with the rock. He hit it once, twice, three times. Then he heard a crack and the shell broke open. + +Tom and Sara looked inside the shell and saw a small crab. The crab was red and had two big claws. It looked angry and scared. It snapped its claws at Tom and Sara and made a loud noise. + +Tom and Sara were surprised and scared. They dropped the shell and the crab on the sand and ran away. They ran to their mom and dad and said, "Mom, Dad, we found a crab in a shell. It was mean and tried to bite us. We don't like crabs. They are scary and bad." + +Mom and Dad hugged Tom and Sara and said, "Don't worry, Tom and Sara. The crab was not mean or bad. It was just scared and angry. You broke its home and it wanted to protect itself. Crabs live in shells and they don't like to be disturbed. Next time, don't tear the shells open. Just look at them and leave them alone. They are beautiful and interesting, but they are not toys." + +Tom and Sara said, "We're sorry, Mom and Dad. We didn't know. We won't tear the shells open again. We will be nice to the crabs and the shells. Can we still play at the beach?" + +Mom and Dad said, "Of course, you can still play at the beach. But be careful and respectful of the animals and the plants. They are part of nature and they deserve our love and care. Now, let's go and have some fun. The sun is shining and the water is warm. It's not a gloomy day. It's a happy day." +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. They have a big box of toys. They take out some toys and put them on the floor. + +"Look, I have a plane!" Tim says. He holds a red plane in his hand. He makes it fly in the air. "Vroom, vroom!" + +"I have a plane, too!" Sam says. He holds a blue plane in his hand. He makes it fly in the air. "Vroom, vroom!" + +They make their planes fly together. They have fun. + +But then, Tim's plane falls down. It hits the floor. It breaks. Tim is sad. He cries. + +"Oh no, your plane is broken!" Sam says. He feels sorry for Tim. He wants to help him. + +"Here, you can have my plane!" Sam says. He gives his blue plane to Tim. "It is a good plane. It is fast and strong. What is its name?" + +Tim stops crying. He looks at the blue plane. He smiles. + +"Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. I like your plane. Its name is Bluey. And my red plane's name is Reddy. Can we fix Reddy?" + +"Yes, we can fix Reddy!" Sam says. He finds some tape and glue. He helps Tim fix his red plane. They make it look like new. + +"Now we have two planes again!" Tim says. He holds his red plane in his hand. He makes it fly in the air. "Vroom, vroom!" + +"And they are both fast and strong!" Sam says. He holds his blue plane in his hand. He makes it fly in the air. "Vroom, vroom!" + +They make their planes fly together. They have more fun. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were playing on the beach. They liked to find shells and make patterns in the sand. Lily found a big shell that was shiny and pink. She showed it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, I found a pretty shell!" Lily said. + +"Wow, it is pretty!" Tom said. "Can I see it?" + +Lily gave the shell to Tom. He looked at it closely. He saw a small hole in the shell. He wondered what was inside. + +"Maybe there is a pearl in the shell," Tom said. "I want to see it." + +He tried to put his finger in the hole, but it was too small. He tried to break the shell, but it was too hard. He tried to shake the shell, but nothing came out. + +"It is difficult to enter the shell," Tom said. "How can we see the pearl?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She had an idea. + +"Maybe we can ask the sea to help us," Lily said. "The sea made the shell, so it knows how to open it." + +Tom liked Lily's idea. He nodded. + +"OK, let's ask the sea," Tom said. + +They ran to the water and threw the shell into the sea. They waited for the sea to answer. They hoped the sea would be kind and give them the pearl. + +But the sea did not answer. The sea did not give them the pearl. The sea took the shell away. The shell disappeared in the waves. + +Lily and Tom were sad. They had lost their pretty shell. They had lost their chance to see the pearl. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that some things are better left alone. They learned that some things are not meant to be entered. They learned that the sea does not always share its secrets. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. One day, they play with their bikes in the park. Anna is fast and Ben is slow. Anna wants to race with Ben. She says, "Come on, Ben, let's race to the big tree!" + +Ben says, "OK, Anna, but be careful. The path is bumpy and there are rocks." Anna nods and they start to race. Anna pedals hard and soon she is ahead of Ben. She feels happy and excited. She does not see the big rock on the path. She hits the rock and falls off her bike. She cries out loud. She hurts her arm and her leg. + +Ben hears Anna cry and stops his bike. He runs to Anna and sees her on the ground. He is scared and worried. He says, "Anna, are you OK? Does it hurt a lot?" Anna says, "Yes, Ben, it hurts a lot. I can't move my arm and my leg. Help me, Ben, help me!" + +Ben sees a lady walking her dog nearby. He calls to her, "Lady, lady, please help us! My sister fell off her bike and she is hurt. We need to go to the hospital!" The lady hears Ben and comes to them. She sees Anna and says, "Oh, poor girl, you have a bad cut and a bruise. Don't worry, I will help you. I have a phone and I can call an ambulance. They will come soon and take you to the hospital. You will be OK." + +The lady calls the ambulance and talks to them. She tells them where they are and what happened. She says, "Please hurry, the girl is in pain and she needs a doctor." The ambulance says, "OK, lady, we are on our way. Stay with the children and keep them calm." The lady says, "OK, thank you." She hangs up the phone and sits with Anna and Ben. She talks to them and tries to make them feel better. She says, "You are very brave, Anna and Ben. You will be fine. The ambulance will be here soon and they will take you to the hospital. They will change your clothes and clean your wound and give you medicine. They will make you feel better. Your mom and dad will come too and they will hug you and kiss you. You are not alone. I am here with you." Anna and Ben listen to the lady and feel a little less worried. They hold each other's hand and wait for the ambulance. They hope they will be OK. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They saw a big black bird on a tree. It was a raven. The raven had shiny eyes and a sharp beak. + +"Look, a raven!" Lila said. "It is old and scary." + +"I want to touch it," Ben said. "Maybe it can talk." + +Ben threw the ball at the raven. The raven was angry. It flew down and pecked the ball. The ball popped and shrank. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Lila cried. "You are a bad bird!" + +The raven cawed and flew away. Lila and Ben ran after it. They wanted their ball back. + +But the raven was too fast and too smart. It hid in a hole in a wall. Lila and Ben could not find it. + +They were sad and mad. They had no ball to play with. + +They went back to the park. They saw a man with a big hat. He was smiling. + +"Hello, children," he said. "Do you want a new ball?" + +He took off his hat and showed them a red ball. It was bigger and brighter than their old ball. + +"Yes, please!" Lila and Ben said. + +The man gave them the ball. He winked and said, "Be careful with this ball. It has magic. If you throw it at something, it will shrink." + +Lila and Ben thanked the man. They were happy and curious. They wanted to try the magic ball. + +They looked around the park. They saw a big slide. They wondered what would happen if they threw the ball at it. + +They threw the ball at the slide. The slide shrank. It became small and low. + +Lila and Ben laughed. They had fun with the magic ball. They threw it at different things. They made them shrink. + +They did not see the raven watching them. The raven wanted the magic ball. It waited for a chance to get it. + +When Lila and Ben were not looking, the raven swooped down and grabbed the ball. It flew away with it. + +Lila and Ben saw the raven. They shouted and chased it. They wanted their ball back. + +But the raven was too fast and too smart. It flew to the top of a building. It looked down at Lila and Ben. + +It cawed and said, "Thank you for the ball. It is mine now. I will make everything shrink. I will be the biggest and the strongest." + +The raven threw the ball at the building. The building shrank. It became small and flat. + +The raven laughed. It threw the ball at the street. The street shrank. It became narrow and short. + +The raven was happy. It threw the ball at the sky. The sky shrank. It became dark and low. + +The raven was proud. It threw the ball at itself. It wanted to see how big it was. + +But the raven made a mistake. The ball bounced back and hit the raven. The raven shrank. It became tiny and weak. + +The raven was scared. It dropped the ball. The ball fell to the ground. It rolled to Lila and Ben. + +Lila and Ben picked up the ball. They saw the raven. It was smaller than a bug. It could not fly or talk. + +They felt sorry for the raven. They decided to help it. + +They threw the ball at the raven. The raven grew. It became big and black again. + +The raven was surprised. It did not know what to say. + +Lila and Ben smiled and said, "You are welcome. But please, do not be mean. Do not take things that are not yours. Do not make things shrink. It is not nice." + +The raven nodded and said, "I am sorry. I was greedy and foolish. I will not do it again. Thank you for saving me." + +The raven flew away. It did not bother Lila and Ben anymore. + +Lila and Ben kept the ball. They played with it. But they were careful. They did not throw it at anything. They did not want to make things shrink. + +They had fun with the magic ball. They were happy and kind. +Lily and Ben were having a tea party with their stuffed animals. They had cups, plates, spoons and a big pot of pretend tea. They also had some cookies and cream to make their tea party more yummy. + +"Would you like some cream in your tea, Mr. Bear?" Lily asked, holding a spoon of cream over his cup. + +"Yes, please, Lily. That would be very nice," Mr. Bear said in a deep voice. Lily pretended that Mr. Bear was talking, but it was really her. + +Lily was about to put the cream in Mr. Bear's cup, when Ben reached for a cookie. He was clumsy and knocked over the pot of tea. The tea spilled all over the table and the floor. + +"Oh no, Ben! Look what you did!" Lily cried. She was sad and angry. She did not like messes. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to," Ben said. He felt bad. He liked tea parties, but he was not good at them. + +"It's okay, Ben. Accidents happen," Mr. Bear said in a kind voice. He was not mad at Ben. He was a nice bear. + +"Thank you, Mr. Bear. You are very kind," Ben said. He smiled at Mr. Bear. + +"Let's clean up the mess and have some more tea," Lily said. She was not sad and angry anymore. She loved her brother and her stuffed animals. + +"Okay, Lily. That sounds good," Ben said. He helped Lily wipe the table and the floor. They also gave some cream to Mr. Bear and the other animals. They had a fun tea party after all. +Bunny and Fox were friends. They liked to play in the forest. One day, they saw a big pass. The pass had many trees and flowers. Bunny and Fox wanted to go to the other side. + +"Let's hop over the pass," said Bunny. "It will be fun." + +"No, no," said Fox. "It is too high and too far. We need to find a cheap way to cross the pass." + +"What is cheap?" asked Bunny. + +"Cheap means not much," said Fox. "Like a bridge or a boat. They are cheap because they do not need much work or time." + +Bunny and Fox looked around. They saw a bridge. But the bridge was old and broken. They saw a boat. But the boat was small and leaky. + +"These are not cheap," said Bunny. "They are bad. They will not help us cross the pass." + +"Then what can we do?" said Fox. "We cannot hop over the pass. We cannot use the bridge or the boat. How can we get to the other side?" + +Bunny thought for a moment. He had an idea. + +"I know," he said. "We can ask for help. Maybe someone will help us cross the pass." + +"Who will help us?" said Fox. "Who lives near the pass?" + +Bunny and Fox looked around. They saw a bird. The bird was big and strong. It had a long beak and bright feathers. + +"Hello, bird," said Bunny. "Can you help us cross the pass? We want to see the other side." + +The bird looked at Bunny and Fox. It smiled. + +"Sure, I can help you," it said. "I can fly over the pass. I can carry you on my back. It will be easy and fast." + +"Really?" said Bunny and Fox. "That is very nice of you. Thank you, bird." + +The bird nodded. It let Bunny and Fox climb on its back. Then it flapped its wings and flew over the pass. Bunny and Fox saw the trees and flowers from above. They were happy. + +They reached the other side. The bird landed gently. It let Bunny and Fox hop off its back. + +"Here you are," it said. "You have crossed the pass. I hope you enjoy your adventure." + +Bunny and Fox thanked the bird again. They waved goodbye. Then they ran to explore the new forest. They had found a cheap way to cross the pass. They had made a new friend. They were very happy. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to see who can build the highest tower. They use a measure to check their towers. The measure is a long stick with numbers on it. + +"Look, my tower is ten!" Anna says, pointing to the measure. "How high is yours?" + +Ben looks at his tower and the measure. His tower is only eight. He feels sad. He wants to win. He has an idea. He touches his tower and pushes it a little bit. It becomes taller. + +"Mine is eleven!" Ben says, lying. "I win!" + +Anna looks at Ben's tower and the measure. She sees that he cheated. She feels angry. She knows that cheating is bad. She wants to be honest. + +"No, you don't win!" Anna says, shouting. "You touched your tower and made it taller. That is not fair. You have to be honest when you play." + +Ben feels ashamed. He knows that Anna is right. He touched his tower and lied. He is sorry. He wants to be Anna's friend. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says, softly. "You are right. I touched my tower and lied. That was bad. I don't want to cheat. I want to be honest. Can we play again?" + +Anna smiles. She forgives Ben. She knows that he is sorry. She wants to be Ben's friend. + +"OK, Ben," Anna says, kindly. "We can play again. But this time, no touching and no lying. OK?" + +"OK, Anna," Ben says, happily. "No touching and no lying. OK." + +They hug and start to play again. They have fun. They are honest. +Lily and her mom went to the city by subway. Lily liked the subway. It was fast and loud and had many colors. She saw many people on the subway. Some people smiled at her. Some people read books. Some people slept. + +"Mom, why do we use the subway?" Lily asked. + +"Because it is cheaper and faster than a car, honey," her mom said. "And we don't have a car." + +Lily nodded. She understood. She did not have many things. She did not have a dad. She did not have a brother or a sister. She did not have a dog or a cat. She only had her mom and her doll. + +"Mom, are you lonely?" Lily asked. + +Her mom hugged her. "No, sweetie, I'm not lonely. I have you. And you have me. And we have each other. And that's enough." + +Lily smiled. She felt happy. She loved her mom. She loved her doll. She loved the subway. She was not lonely. She had enough. +Lily loves to play baseball with her big brother Sam. Sam is very good at baseball. He can swing the bat hard and hit the ball far. Lily wants to be like Sam, but she is still small and learning. + +One day, Sam takes Lily to the park. He brings his bat and ball and a tee. He sets up the tee and puts the ball on top. He gives Lily the bat and says, "Now, Lily, you can swing the bat and hit the ball. Just watch me first." + +Sam shows Lily how to hold the bat and stand. He swings the bat and hits the ball. The ball flies over the fence. Lily claps and says, "Wow, Sam, you are amazing!" + +Sam smiles and says, "Thank you, Lily. Now it's your turn. You can do it. Just swing the bat and hit the ball." + +Lily takes the bat and tries to copy Sam. She swings the bat, but she misses the ball. She tries again, but she misses again. She feels sad and says, "I can't do it, Sam. I'm too little." + +Sam hugs Lily and says, "Don't worry, Lily. You are not too little. You are just learning. You are adorable and smart and brave. You can do anything you want. Just keep trying and have fun." + +Lily smiles and says, "Thank you, Sam. You are the best brother ever. I love you." + +Sam says, "I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's try again. Swing the bat and hit the ball." + +Lily nods and swings the bat again. This time, she hits the ball. The ball rolls on the grass. Lily jumps and says, "I did it, Sam, I did it!" + +Sam cheers and says, "You did it, Lily, you did it! You are awesome!" + +Lily and Sam hug and laugh. They play baseball until the sun sets. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They saw a big truck with a ladder and a hose. The truck made a loud noise and had red and blue lights. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"That is a fire truck," Ben said. "They help when there is a fire." + +They watched the fire truck stop near a house. They saw smoke coming out of the house. Smoke is bad and can hurt people. They saw some men in yellow suits get out of the truck. They had helmets and masks. They ran to the house with the hose. + +"Help! Help!" they heard someone yell from the house. It was a woman. She was trapped by the fire. She was scared. + +The men in yellow suits used the hose to spray water on the fire. They made the fire smaller and smaller. They used the ladder to reach the window where the woman was. They broke the window and pulled the woman out. She was coughing and crying. + +"Thank you! Thank you!" she said to the men. "You saved me!" + +The men in yellow suits smiled and nodded. They put the woman in an ambulance. The ambulance took her to the hospital. The hospital would make her feel better. + +Lily and Ben clapped their hands. They were happy that the woman was safe. They were amazed by the fire truck and the men in yellow suits. They did not know them, but they were brave and kind. They were heroes. +Sara and Ben like to play with their big ball. They bounce it high and low, and catch it with their hands. They laugh and have fun in the sun. + +One day, they see a small shrimp in the pond. The shrimp is pink and has many legs. It swims fast and jumps out of the water. Sara and Ben are curious and want to see it better. + +They go near the pond and try to catch the shrimp with their ball. They throw the ball into the water, but the shrimp is too quick. It dodges the ball and hides under a rock. + +"Shrimp, come out! We want to play with you!" Sara calls. + +"No, thank you! You are too big and loud! You scare me!" the shrimp says. + +Sara and Ben feel sorry. They do not want to scare the shrimp. They want to be friends. + +"We are sorry, shrimp. We do not mean to scare you. We just want to see you and learn about you. You are very pretty and fast. Can we be friends?" Ben asks. + +The shrimp thinks for a moment. He sees that Sara and Ben are not mean. They are just curious and playful. He decides to give them a chance. + +"Okay, we can be friends. But you have to be gentle and quiet. And you have to share your ball with me. I like to bounce too!" the shrimp says. + +Sara and Ben agree. They are happy to have a new friend. They take turns bouncing the ball with the shrimp. They learn about each other and have fun. They are helpful and kind. They are good friends. +Tom and Anna were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box for a ship, a stick for a sword and a paper map for treasure. They pretended to sail across the sea and fight other pirates. + +"Look, Anna, the map says the treasure is under the big tree!" Tom said, pointing to the map. + +"Let's go, Tom, maybe we can find gold and jewels!" Anna said, following him. + +They ran to the big tree and started to dig with their hands. They made a big hole, but they did not find anything. + +"Maybe the map is wrong, Tom. Maybe someone took the treasure already," Anna said, feeling sad. + +"Or maybe the map is a trick, Anna. Maybe it is a fake map," Tom said, feeling angry. + +He took the map and tore it into pieces. He threw the pieces in the air and shouted, "This map is no good! It is a lie!" + +Anna gasped. She liked the map. It had pretty colors and shapes. She did not want Tom to break it. + +"Tom, why did you do that? That was our map! That was our game!" she said, crying. + +Tom realized he had made a mistake. He saw Anna's tears and felt sorry. He had been too harsh with the map. He had spoiled their fun. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I was mad. I did not mean to break the map. I did not mean to make you cry," he said, hugging her. + +"It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But next time, be more careful with our things. They are not real, but they are still ours," Anna said, wiping her eyes. + +They hugged and made up. They decided to play something else. They still liked pirates, but they did not need a map. They had their imagination. +Tom and Lily were playing with water in the garden. They had a big hose and a small spray bottle. Tom liked to spray Lily with the hose and make her wet. Lily liked to spray Tom with the bottle and make him laugh. + +"Stop, stop, Tom!" Lily said. "You are making me too wet!" + +"OK, OK, Lily!" Tom said. "Let's play something else. Do you want to play with the mud?" + +"Yes, yes, Tom!" Lily said. "I like mud. It is fun and soft." + +They ran to the mud pit and started to make mud pies and mud balls. They threw them at each other and at the trees. They got very dirty and messy. + +"Look, look, Tom!" Lily said. "We are making art with mud!" + +"Yes, yes, Lily!" Tom said. "We are very good artists!" + +They played with the mud until they heard their mom calling them. + +"Tom, Lily, come inside!" Mom said. "It is time for your nap!" + +Tom and Lily groaned. They did not want to nap. They wanted to play more. + +"Can we play more, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"No, no, Tom!" Mom said. "You are very tired and dirty. You need to nap and clean up." + +Mom took them inside and put them in the bathtub. She washed them with soap and water. She scrubbed them hard and made them clean. + +"Ow, ow, Mom!" Tom said. "You are hurting me!" + +"Sorry, sorry, Tom!" Mom said. "But you are very dirty. You need to be clean." + +Mom dried them with a towel and put them in their pajamas. She took them to their beds and tucked them in. + +"Sleep well, Tom and Lily!" Mom said. "I love you!" + +She kissed them and turned off the light. + +Tom and Lily did not sleep well. They were not tired. They were bored and sad. They missed playing with water and mud. They wished they could spray each other and make art. They did not like being clean and napping. They wanted to be dirty and playing. They cried and cried until they fell asleep. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Ben were having lunch with their mom and dad. They liked the sandwiches and the juice that mom made for them. They also liked the soft napkins that dad gave them to wipe their mouths. + +"Can I have more juice, please?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey, here you go," mom said, and poured some juice into Lily's cup. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben said, and reached for the juice bottle. + +"Be careful, Ben, don't spill it," dad warned. + +But Ben was not careful. He grabbed the bottle too hard and it tipped over. The juice spilled all over the table and the floor. It also splashed on Lily's dress and Ben's shirt. + +"Uh-oh!" Ben said. + +"Ben, look what you did!" Lily cried. + +Mom and dad were not happy. They got up and grabbed some napkins to clean up the mess. They looked at Ben with angry eyes. + +"Ben, you need to be more careful and listen to us. You made a big mess and ruined your clothes and Lily's dress. You need to say sorry and help us clean up," mom said. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Ben said, but he did not sound very sorry. He did not want to help. He wanted to play with his toy car. He gazed at the car on the floor and tried to reach for it. + +"No, Ben, you can't play now. You need to help us clean up first," dad said, and took the car away from Ben. + +Ben did not like that. He started to cry and kick and scream. He did not want to help.

Can you help me?" + +Ben nods. He likes to help Sara. He holds the camera for Sara. Sara tries to get closer to the bird. She is very quiet. She does not want to scare the bird. + +"Be patient, Sara," Ben says. "The bird will not fly away. You can take a good picture." + +Sara smiles. She is happy that Ben is her friend. She reaches the camera. She looks at the bird. The bird looks at her. Sara presses the button. The camera makes a click sound. + +"Yay, I did it!" Sara says. She runs back to Ben. She shows him the picture. The picture has the bird and Sara's face. They are both smiling. + +"That's a great picture, Sara," Ben says. "You are a good photographer.

He wanted a bigger and stronger crown. + +"Your crown is not good, Lily," Ben said. "It is too thin and weak. It will break if the dragon breathes fire on it. You should quit wearing it and get a better one." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She liked her crown very much. She did not want to quit wearing it or get a different one. + +"My crown is good, Ben!" Lily said. "It is not thin and weak. It is light and sparkly. It makes me happy and special. You are mean and rude. You should quit saying bad things about my crown." + +They started to argue and shout. They did not want to play together anymore. They turned away from each other and crossed their arms. + +Then, they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a big dragon flying in the sky. It had red scales and yellow eyes. It breathed fire and smoke. It was coming towards them. + +They were scared and surprised. They forgot about their fight. They ran to each other and hugged. + +"Help, help!" Lily cried. "The dragon is here!" + +"Let's hide, let's hide!" Ben said. "The dragon is scary!" + +They ran to a nearby cave and hid behind a rock. They held each other and hoped the dragon would go away. + +They looked at each other and smiled. They realized they were still friends. They did not care about the crowns anymore. They only cared about each other. + +They said sorry and hugged again. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "Your crown is good. You can wear whatever you want. You are a nice and brave princess." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily said. "You are not mean and rude. You are a kind and strong knight." + +They waited until the dragon flew away. Then, they came out of the cave and went back to their castle. They played and laughed together. They wore their crowns and pretended to be heroes. They were happy and proud.

They liked to race them on the floor and see who was faster. Sometimes they argued about who won. + +One day, they decided to have a big race with all their cars. They made a long track with books and pillows and tape. They each chose ten cars and lined them up at the start. They counted to three and then pushed their cars as hard as they could. + +"Go, go, go!" Tim shouted, as he watched his cars zoom ahead. He had a red car, a blue car, a yellow car, and more. + +"Wait for me!" Sam cried, as he tried to catch up. He had a green car, a purple car, a pink car, and more. + +They followed their cars along the track, cheering and booing. They reached the end and looked at the finish line. Tim saw that his red car was the first to cross. He jumped up and down and clapped his hands. + +"I won, I won!" he said. "I have the victory!" + +Sam looked at his cars and saw that they were all behind Tim's. He felt sad and angry. He threw his cars on the floor and stomped his feet. + +"No, no, no!" he said. "You cheated! You pushed your cars harder!" + +Tim frowned and shook his head. He did not cheat. He played fair. He wanted to share his victory with his brother, but Sam was too mad. He tried to hug him and say sorry, but Sam pushed him away. + +"Go away!" he said. "I don't want to play with you anymore!" + +Tim felt hurt and confused. He did not know what to do. He picked up his cars and walked away. He went to his room and closed the door. He looked out the window and saw that the sky was gloomy. It was going to rain. He realized that he had no one to play with. He realized that he was lonely. He realized that he missed his brother. He wished they could be friends again. He wished they could have fun with their cars. He wished he could say sorry too. He wondered if Sam felt the same. He hoped he did. He hoped they could make up. He hoped the sun would come out. He hoped for a better day. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to travel on the bus. The bus is big and yellow. It has many seats and windows.

They do not want to wait. They want to travel more. + +They look at each other. They have an idea. + +"Let's play a game," Sara says. She smiles. + +"What game?" Tom asks. He smiles too. + +"Let's pretend we are traveling in our heads," Sara says. She closes her eyes. She imagines she is on a plane. She flies in the sky. She sees clouds and birds. + +"Wow, that's fun!" Tom says. He closes his eyes too. He imagines he is on a boat. He sails on the water. He sees fish and waves. + +Sara and Tom travel in their heads. They have clear pictures in their minds. They tell each other what they see. They laugh and have fun. + +They do not notice the time. They do not notice the bus is fixed. They do not notice the driver gets back in.

"Hello, sir, how much are your kites?" she asked politely. + +The man smiled and said, "Hello, little girl, my kites are five coins each. They are very good kites, they fly high and fast in the wind." + +Lily looked at the kites and saw one that was red and yellow, like a sun. She liked it very much. She turned to Tom and said, "Tom, I want the sun kite, do you have five coins?" + +Tom checked his pockets and found four coins. He was sad. He wanted to buy a kite for Lily, but he did not have enough money. He looked at the kites and saw one that was blue and green, like a sea. He liked it too. He said, "Lily, I want the sea kite, but I only have four coins. What can we do?" + +The man heard them and said, "Don't worry, children, I have an idea. Why don't you share one kite? You can take turns flying it, and you can pay me four coins. How does that sound?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other and smiled. They liked the idea. They said, "Yes, please, sir, we will share one kite. Thank you!" + +The man gave them the sun kite and took their coins. He said, "You're welcome, children, have fun with your kite. Remember, the wind is your friend, it will help your kite soar in the sky." + +Tom and Lily thanked the man again and ran to the park. They took turns flying the sun kite, and they had a lot of fun.

I will fall." + +Lily smiles. "No, you will not fall. You will slide down fast and land on the soft grass. Look, I will show you." + +Lily climbs up the ladder and sits on the tip of the slide. She waves at Ben and pushes herself down. She slides down graceful, like a bird. She laughs and shouts, "Whee!" + +Ben watches Lily. He sees that she is happy and safe. He thinks maybe he can try too. He takes a deep breath and climbs up the ladder. He sits next to Lily on the tip of the slide. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Lily asks. + +Ben nods. "Yes, yes, yes. I am ready." + +Lily holds Ben's hand. "OK, let's go!" + +They push themselves down together. They slide down fast and land on the soft grass. They laugh and hug. + +"That was fun!"

She felt sorry for Ben. + +"Oh no, Ben, your boat is broken!" she said. "How did that happen?" + +Ben shrugged. He didn't know. He had played with his boat many times and it was always fine. He liked his boat very much. It was blue and shiny and had a flag on the top. + +"Can you fix it, Mia?" he asked. "Please, please, please?" + +Mia thought for a moment. She was good at fixing things. She had fixed her doll's dress and her brother's car. But she didn't have anything to fix the boat with. + +"I don't have anything, Ben," she said. "Maybe we can ask Mommy. She has tape and glue and scissors. Maybe she can help us." + +Ben nodded. He hoped Mommy could help. He didn't want to lose his boat. He loved his boat. + +"OK, let's go ask Mommy," he said. He took his boat out of the water and wrapped it in a towel. He was careful not to let the water drip on the floor. + +Mia followed him with her boat. She was glad Ben had a friend like her. She liked to help him. + +They ran to the kitchen, where Mommy was making cookies. They saw Mommy was busy, but they had to ask her. + +"Mommy, Mommy, can you help us?" they said together. + +Mommy looked at them and smiled. She saw their boats and their wet towels. She guessed what had happened. + +"What's wrong, my darlings?" she asked. + +Ben showed her his boat and the leak. He looked pale and sad. + +"My boat has a leak, Mommy," he said. "Can you fix it, please?" + +Mommy took his boat and examined it. She saw the hole and nodded. + +"I think I can fix it, Ben," she said. "But you have to wait a little bit.

I can do it. You can do it too. Come on, it will be fun." + +Tim did not listen to Mia. He ran to the river and jumped on the first rock. He almost slipped, but he caught his balance.

She did not see him come up. She was very scared and sad. She did not know what to do. She called for help. She called, "Help, help. Tim is in the river. Help, help." But no one heard her. No one came. She was alone with the river. She wished she had never played near the river. She wished Tim had listened to her. She wished Tim was still with her. She was not grateful for the river. She hated the river. The river took Tim away. +Anna and Ben were going to the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings and slide and see the ducks.

Don't worry, they are safe now," Mom said. + +"Did the fire burn their toys?" Ben asked, looking worried. + +Mom smiled and said, "No, Ben. The fire did not burn their toys.

They say sorry to each other. They decide to be friends. They learn that they can like different things and still get along. They also learn that polishing shoes can be fun if they do it together. +Sara and Ben wanted to help Mom make a cake. They saw Mom put eggs, milk, flour and sugar in a big bowl. Mom mixed them with a spoon and said, "This is the batter for the cake. It will be very yummy." + +Sara and Ben asked, "Can we feed the oven the batter, Mom?" Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But be careful, the oven is very hot. You need to use these mittens to hold the pan. And don't touch the oven door, it will burn you." + +Sara and Ben put on the mittens and took the pan with the batter. They walked to the oven and opened the door. They saw a red light inside the oven. They thought it was a toy. They wanted to play with it. They forgot what Mom said. + +They put the pan on the oven rack and reached for the red light.

It is funny." + +"Come on, Anna, don't be scared. I dare you to change the channel. Maybe you will find something better!" Ben says. + +He holds the remote in front of Anna and smiles.

This is for grown-ups!" Anna says. + +"Quick, change it back, Anna! Change it back!" Ben says. + +Anna tries to press the button again, but nothing happens. The remote does not work. She presses it harder, but still nothing happens. She shakes it, but still nothing happens. + +"Oh no, what did we do? The remote is broken!" Anna says. + +"Mommy, mommy, help us!" Ben says. + +They hear their mommy coming from the kitchen. She sees them holding the remote and looking at the TV. She sees the man and the woman talking on the screen. She knows what happened. + +"Anna, Ben, what did you do? Did you change the channel?" she asks. + +"Yes, mommy, we did. But it was a dare. Ben dared me to do it. And then the remote stopped working. And we can't go back to the cat and the mouse. We are sorry, mommy!" Anna says. + +Mommy sighs and smiles. She takes the remote from Anna and looks at it. She sees that the batteries are loose. She fixes them and presses the button. The TV screen changes. Now they see the cat and the mouse again. The cat is chasing the mouse with a frying pan. The mouse is hiding behind a cheese. + +"Here you go, kids. Your cartoon is back. But please, don't play with the remote again. It is not a toy. And don't dare each other to do silly things. You might get in trouble. OK?" she says. + +"OK, mommy. We are sorry. We won't do it again. Thank you, mommy!" Anna and Ben say. + +They hug their mommy and sit on the couch. They watch the cartoon and laugh and clap their hands. They are happy. They forget about the dare. They only think about the cat and the mouse. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together.

Why don't you share the pillow, or take turns, or find another way to solve your problem? Why don't you say sorry and hug each other?" + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They felt bad for fighting. They realized they loved each other more than the pillow. They said sorry and hugged each other. + +"Good," mom said, smiling. "That's what humble and caring people do. Now, why don't you read a story together on your mattress, and I'll make you some cookies?" + +Lily and Tom agreed. They picked a story book and cuddled on their mattress. They thanked mom for the cookies and for teaching them a new word. They were happy and humble and caring. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to see the plants grow and smell the flowers. She had a special plant that she watered every day. It was a strawberry plant. It had green leaves and red fruits. Lily thought they were delicious. + +One day, Lily saw a big bird in the garden. It was a crow. It had black feathers and a loud voice. It saw Lily's strawberry plant and flew down. It pecked at the fruits and ate them. Lily was angry. She shouted at the crow and ran to her plant. She saw that the crow had made holes in the leaves and the fruits. Some of the fruits were gone. Lily felt sad. + +She ran to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. We can heal your plant. We can give it more water and some food. We can cover it with a net so the crow can't get it. And we can wait for it to grow more fruits. Then you can have some delicious strawberries again." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She and her mom went back to the garden. They did what her mom said. They watered the plant and gave it some food. They covered it with a net. They said nice words to the plant. They hoped it would heal soon. + +After a few days, Lily saw that the plant looked better. The holes in the leaves and the fruits were smaller. The plant had new flowers and new fruits. They were green, but they would turn red soon. Lily was happy. She thanked her mom and the plant. She waited for the day when she could eat some delicious strawberries again. She hoped the crow would not come back. +Tom and Lily like to play with their kayak in the lake. They take turns to paddle and steer. They see fish and ducks and frogs. They have fun. + +But one day, they see a big hole in their kayak. Someone or something has torn it. They are sad and angry. Who did this? They ask their mom and dad. + +Mom and dad say they do not know. Maybe it was a naughty raccoon or a sharp rock. They say they will try to fix it. But they need glue and tape and time. + +Tom and Lily do not want to wait. They want to play with their kayak now. They have an idea. They find some paper and crayons. They draw a new kayak on the paper. They cut it out and fold it. They make it look like their real kayak. + +They go to the lake with their paper kayak. They put it on the water. They pretend to paddle and steer. They see fish and ducks and frogs. They have fun. + +But then, a big wind comes. It blows their paper kayak away. It rips it into pieces. They are sad and angry. They cry. + +Mom and dad hear them. They come to the lake. They hug them and comfort them. They say they are sorry. They say they have fixed their real kayak. They show them. It looks incredible. It has no hole. It has new colors and stickers. + +Tom and Lily are happy and grateful. They thank their mom and dad. They take their real kayak to the water. They paddle and steer. They see fish and ducks and frogs. They have fun. They forget about their paper kayak. They love their real kayak. The end. +Lily was curious about the big box under the tree. She wanted to know what was inside. She asked her mom, "Can I open it, please?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Not yet, Lily. It is a gift for you, but you have to wait until tomorrow. It is a special day tomorrow." + +Lily pouted and said, "But I want to see it now. It is so big and shiny. Maybe it is a toy or a book or a dress." + +Mom shook her head and said, "No, Lily. You have to be patient and wait. It is a surprise for you. Trust me, you will love it." + +Lily sighed and said, "Okay, mom. I will wait. But can I hug it?" + +Mom laughed and said, "Sure, you can hug it. But be gentle, don't shake it or tear it." + +Lily ran to the box and wrapped her arms around it. She felt something soft and warm inside. She wondered what it could be. She said, "Thank you, mom, for the gift. I love you." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my gift." +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big ball of string. They think it is fun to roll it and wrap it around things. + +"Look, I can make a swing with the string!" Tom says. He ties the string to a branch and sits on it. + +"Be careful, Tom. The string looks old and weak. It might rot and break." Jen says. She is worried about Tom. + +Tom laughs. "Don't be silly, Jen. The string is strong and fine. It is only a little mild and brown. See, I can swing high and low!" He swings faster and faster. + +But Jen is right. The string is old and weak. It has rot and holes. When Tom swings too high, the string snaps. Tom falls to the ground with a thud. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom cries. He hurts his arm and his leg. Jen runs to him and hugs him. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" Jen asks. She feels sorry for Tom. + +Tom sniffles. "I'm okay, Jen. But the string is not okay. It is bad and broken. It is not fun anymore." He says. + +Jen nods. "The string is bad and broken. It is not fun anymore. Let's throw it away and find something else to play with." She says. + +Tom and Jen throw away the string and find a new toy. They play with it and have fun. They are still friends. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big bird with many feathers. The bird is sitting on a branch. Lily and Tom want to touch the feathers. + +"Can we do that?" Lily asks Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe the bird will be angry," Tom says. + +They go closer to the bird. The bird sees them and makes a loud noise. The bird opens its wings and flies away. Some feathers fall to the ground. + +"Look! Feathers!" Lily says. She picks up a feather and holds it in her hand. It is soft and colorful. + +"Wow! It is pretty!" Tom says. He picks up another feather and puts it in his hair. + +They laugh and run with the feathers. They pretend to be birds. They are happy. +Lily and Max are playing in the garden. They have a big hose that can spray water. They like to spray the flowers, the grass and each other. + +"Spray me, spray me!" Max shouts. He runs around and tries to catch the water. + +"OK, OK!" Lily says. She sprays Max and laughs. He gets very wet and cold. + +"Stop, stop!" Max says. He shivers and runs to the house. Lily follows him. + +They see their mom in the kitchen. She is reading a paper. It has news on it. + +"Mom, what are you doing?" Lily asks. + +"I'm reading the news, sweetie. It tells me what is happening in the world." Mom says. + +"Can you read it to us?" Max asks. + +"Sure, why not. Let's see. Here is a story about a lively panda. It lives in a zoo and likes to play with its friends. It can climb, roll and eat bamboo. Do you like pandas?" Mom says. + +"Yes, we do!" Lily and Max say. + +They sit on the couch and listen to Mom. She reads more news about animals, people and places. They learn new things and ask questions. They forget about the hose and the water. They are happy and cozy. +Tom was a barber. He liked to cut hair for people. He had a shop with a big chair and a mirror and scissors and combs. He worked hard to provide for his family. He had a wife and a baby and a dog. + +One day, a big storm came. It was very dark and loud and scary. The wind blew hard and the rain poured down. Tom's shop lost power. He could not see or cut hair. He was sad and worried. He did not know how to provide for his family without his shop. + +He called his wife and told her what happened. She said, "Don't worry, Tom. I love you and our baby and our dog. We will be okay. You are a good barber and a good husband and a good father. You can find a way to fix your shop or find a new one. You are smart and brave and strong." + +Tom felt better. He thanked his wife and said, "I love you too. You are a good wife and a good mother and a good friend. You make me happy and proud. You are kind and sweet and beautiful." + +He hung up the phone and looked around. He saw a flashlight and a candle and a match. He lit the candle and put it on a table. He used the flashlight to find his scissors and combs. He thought, "Maybe I can still cut hair for some people. Maybe they will pay me some money. Maybe I can provide for my family until the storm is over." + +He went outside and saw some people walking by. He said, "Hello, I am Tom, the barber. Do you need a haircut? I can do it for you. I have a candle and a flashlight and scissors and combs. It is dark and wet, but I can make you look good." + +Some people said no, but some people said yes. They followed Tom to his shop and sat on his chair. He cut their hair with care and skill. He made them smile and thank him. He made them pay him some money. He put the money in his pocket. + +He did this for many hours. He cut hair for many people. He made enough money to provide for his family for a few days. He felt happy and hopeful. He thought, "The storm will end soon. I will fix my shop or find a new one. I will keep being a barber and provide for my family. I will not give up." +Lily was a lovely girl who liked to play with her dolls and draw pictures. She had a big brother, Tom, who sometimes teased her and took her toys. One day, Tom came into her room and grabbed her favorite doll, Daisy. + +"Give me Daisy!" Lily shouted. "She is mine!" + +"No, she is mine now!" Tom said. "She is old and ugly. I will make her better." + +Tom ran to the kitchen with Daisy and found some scissors and glue. He wanted to cut Daisy's hair and stick things on her dress. Lily followed him and tried to stop him. + +"Please, Tom, don't hurt Daisy!" Lily begged. "She is lovely the way she is. She is my friend." + +Tom did not listen. He laughed and said, "She is not a friend, she is a toy. And I can do whatever I want with her." + +Lily felt angry and sad. She loved Daisy and did not want her to change. She decided to resist Tom and save Daisy. She grabbed the scissors from Tom's hand and cut his shirt. Then she took the glue and squirted it on his hair. + +"Hey, stop that!" Tom yelled. "You are ruining my clothes and my hair!" + +Lily did not stop. She said, "Now you know how it feels to have someone hurt your things. Maybe next time you will be nice to Daisy and me." + +Tom cried and ran to his mom. Lily hugged Daisy and said, "Don't worry, Daisy, I will always protect you. You are lovely and I love you." +Sara and Ben are playing in the yard. They have many toys: balls, cars, dolls, blocks. They like to make noise and have fun. But the sky is getting dark and the wind is blowing hard. They hear a loud boom. + +"Mommy, what is that?" Sara asks, scared. + +"That is a storm, sweetie. It is rain and thunder and lightning. We have to go inside now, before it gets wet and dangerous," Mommy says, coming out of the house. + +"Okay, Mommy. Come on, Ben, let's go," Sara says, grabbing her doll. + +But Ben does not want to leave. He likes the storm. He thinks it is exciting and cool. He wants to see the lightning and hear the thunder. He does not listen to Mommy and Sara. He runs to the other side of the yard, where his car is. + +"Ben, come back! It is not safe!" Mommy shouts. + +But Ben does not hear her. He is too busy playing with his car. He makes it go fast and jump over the rocks. He laughs and smiles. He does not see the big flash of lightning that hits the tree near him. He does not hear the loud crack that makes the tree fall down. He only feels the shock and the pain. + +"Ben!" Mommy and Sara scream. + +They run to him. They are scared and worried. They see him lying on the ground, with his car next to him. He is not moving. He is not laughing. He is not smiling. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Mommy asks, shaking him gently. + +Ben opens his eyes. He is confused and hurt. He does not know what happened. He sees Mommy and Sara crying. He sees the tree on the ground. He sees his car broken. He feels sorry and sad. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry, Sara. I was bad. I did not listen. I wanted to play with the storm. But the storm was not fun. The storm was mean. The storm made a mess," he says, softly. + +Mommy hugs him. Sara hugs him. They are happy he is alive. They are not angry. They love him. + +"It's okay, Ben. We are glad you are okay. The storm is over now. We can go inside and get warm and dry.

They have each other. They are safe. They are happy. +Lily and Anna are sisters. They like to play in the park. There is a big pond in the park. The pond has ducks and fish. Lily and Anna like to feed the ducks and watch the fish. + +One day, Lily and Anna go to the park with their mom. Mom says, "Stay away from the pond. The pond is deep and dangerous. You can fall in and drown." Lily and Anna say, "Okay, mom. We will be careful." + +Lily and Anna feed the ducks and watch the fish. They have fun. Then they see a big boat on the pond. The boat has a man and a dog. The man says, "Hello, girls. Do you want to join me on the boat? You can pet the dog and see more fish." Lily and Anna think the boat is fun. They want to join the man and the dog. + +They forget what mom said. They run to the boat. They say, "Yes, please. We want to join you on the boat." The man smiles and says, "Come on, then. Hop in." Lily and Anna hop in the boat. The man starts the boat. The boat goes fast on the pond. + +Mom sees Lily and Anna on the boat. She is scared and angry. She shouts, "Lily! Anna! Get off the boat! That man is bad! He will take you away!" Lily and Anna hear mom. They are scared and sorry. They want to get off the boat. They cry, "Mom! Help us! We want to come back!" + +But the man does not stop the boat. He says, "Too late, girls. You are mine now. You will never see your mom again." He laughs and drives the boat away.

The end. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big tree with a swing. Lily likes to swing high and fast. Ben likes to climb the tree and look at the birds. + +One day, Ben finds a ladder in the shed. He has an idea. He wants to put the ladder on the tree and go higher. He thinks he can see more birds and maybe a plane. He drags the ladder to the tree and leans it on a branch. + +Lily sees Ben and the ladder. She is angry. She thinks Ben is being silly and dangerous. She cares about Ben and does not want him to fall. She runs to the tree and shouts at Ben. "Ben, stop! That is not safe! You can hurt yourself! Come down now!" + +Ben does not listen to Lily. He thinks Lily is being bossy and boring. He wants to have fun and explore. He climbs the ladder and reaches the top. He feels happy and proud. He sees a lot of birds and a plane. He waves at the plane. + +But then, the wind blows hard. The ladder shakes and wobbles. Ben is scared. He tries to hold on to the branch, but it is too thin. He loses his balance and falls. He screams. + +Lily hears Ben scream. She is very scared too. She runs to Ben and hugs him. She hopes he is not hurt. She says, "Ben, are you okay? I am sorry I was angry. I just care about you. Please don't do that again." + +Ben feels pain in his arm and his leg. He is sorry too. He says, "Lily, I am okay. Thank you for caring. I am sorry I was silly. I won't do that again." + +Lily and Ben go to their mom. She sees their tears and their bruises. She cares about them too. She gives them a kiss and a band-aid. She says, "Lily and Ben, I love you. You are brave and kind. But please be careful. Ladders are not for playing. They are for working. Next time, ask me first." + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "We love you too, mom. We will be careful. We will ask you first." + +They hug their mom and each other. They are happy. They are twins. They care. +Tim and Mia were playing in the backyard. They liked to move the big barrel around and pretend it was a boat or a car or a house. They moved it to the corner and climbed inside. + +"Let's go to the moon!" Tim said. + +"Okay!" Mia said. "How do we get there?" + +Tim looked around and saw a stick. He picked it up and said, "This is our rocket. We need to count to ten and then blast off!" + +Mia nodded and held the stick with Tim. They started to count. + +"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" + +They shouted, "Blast off!" and shook the barrel. + +They pretended they were flying in the sky and saw stars and planets. They had fun. + +But then, the sky became dark and gloomy. It started to rain. The rain made loud noises on the barrel. Tim and Mia felt scared. + +"Let's go back home!" Mia said. + +"Okay!"

They opened the lid and got out. + +They ran to the house and saw their mom. She was smiling and had towels for them. + +"Did you have fun?" she asked. + +"Yes, we did!" Tim and Mia said. "We went to the moon!" + +"That's amazing!" mom said. "But now you are wet and cold. Let's get you dry and warm." + +She hugged them and took them inside.

Can we come again?" Lisa's aunt says, "Of course, you are always welcome. I like having you here." +Tom and Mia like to play with the large wheel. The wheel has many colors and makes a sound when it spins. They take turns to spin the wheel and see what color it stops on. + +"Spin, spin, spin!" Tom says as he pushes the wheel hard. The wheel goes fast and makes a loud sound. Tom hopes it stops on his favorite color, blue. + +"Wow, that's a big spin!" Mia says. She watches the wheel with her eyes wide.

"Let's build a nest!" + +"OK, Sara, let's build a nest!" Ben said. He helped Sara carry some lumber to a corner of the yard. They stacked the wood and made a cozy nest. + +"Let's dance in the nest!" Sara said. She liked to dance and sing. She started to twirl and hop and sing a silly song. + +"Let's dance in the nest!" Ben said. He liked to dance and sing too.

He needed it for his project. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing with my lumber?" dad asked. He looked at the nest and frowned. "That's not a nest, that's a mess!" + +Sara and Ben stopped dancing and singing. They looked at dad and felt miserable. They had made dad angry. + +"Sorry, dad, we were just playing," Sara said. + +"Sorry, dad, we didn't know," Ben said. + +Dad sighed. He was not really angry, just surprised. He saw that Sara and Ben were sad. + +"It's OK, kids, I understand. You were having fun. But you can't use my lumber. It's not safe. And I need it for my project. Why don't you help me move it back to the fence?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They helped dad move the lumber back to the fence. They felt better. + +"Can we still play animals, dad?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, you can still play animals. But no more lumber, OK?" dad said. + +"OK, dad, no more lumber," Sara and Ben said. + +They hugged dad and thanked him.

You can build your tower later." + +Ben gets angry. He tries to take the radio from Sara. Sara holds the radio tight. She says, "Ben, stop it. This is my radio. You cannot have it." + +They pull and tug on the radio. They do not want to share. They resist each other. The radio falls on the floor. It breaks. It makes a loud noise.

Why did you break the radio?" + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry. They say, "Mom, we are sorry. We were fighting over the radio. We did not share. We were not smart." + +Mom hugs them. She says, "Sara, Ben, I love you. You are smart, but you need to learn to share. Sharing is caring. Next time, you can take turns with the radio.

It was not happy to see a stranger in its home. It opened its big beak and made a loud noise. It scared Lila very much. + +Lila screamed and ran back to the gap. She wanted to go back to her mom. She was sorry for bothering the ostrich. She learned her lesson. She should always be honest and listen to her mom. + +Her mom heard her scream and saw her running. She was worried and angry. She ran to Lila and hugged her. She asked her, "What happened? Why did you go to the ostrich pen? You know you are not supposed to do that. You could have been hurt." + +Lila cried and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to touch the ostrich. It was sleeping and I thought it was nice. But it woke up and yelled at me. It was scary. I won't do it again. I promise." + +Her mom sighed and said, "I'm glad you are okay, Lila. But you have to be honest with me. You have to tell me where you are going and what you are doing. You have to follow the rules. The zoo is a fun place, but it can also be dangerous. The animals need their space and respect. Do you understand?" + +Lila nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I love you." + +Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lila. Now, let's go and see some other animals. But this time, stay with me, okay?" + +Lila agreed and said, "Okay, mom. Let's go." +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. But Lily was bossy. She always told Tom what to do. + +"Tom, you be the dog and I be the vet. Bark, bark!" Lily said. + +Tom did not want to be the dog. He wanted to be the knight. He said, "No, Lily. I be the knight and you be the princess. Come, I save you!" + +Lily did not like that. She said, "No, Tom. You do what I say. You be the dog or I go away!" + +Tom was sad. He did not like to fight with Lily. He said, "OK, Lily. I be the dog. But can we play something else later?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "OK, Tom. But first, you follow me. We go to the big tree. There is a bone for you there." + +Tom and Lily walked to the big tree. But on the way, they saw something. It was long and thin and shiny. It was a snake. + +"Look, Tom. A snake!" Lily said. She was not scared. She was curious. She wanted to touch the snake. + +Tom was scared. He did not like snakes. He said, "No, Lily. Don't touch the snake. It can bite. It can hurt. We go back. We tell mom." + +Lily did not listen. She was bossy. She said, "No, Tom. You be quiet. You be a good dog. I touch the snake. It is pretty." + +Lily reached out her hand. But the snake did not like that. It hissed and coiled and struck. It bit Lily's finger. Lily screamed. She dropped the snake. She ran back to Tom. + +Tom hugged Lily. He said, "Lily, are you OK? Does it hurt? We go to mom. She can help." + +Lily nodded. She was crying. She said, "Tom, I'm sorry. I was bossy. I was silly. I should have listened to you. You are a good knight. You are a good friend." + +Tom and Lily ran to mom. Mom saw the bite. She said, "Oh, no. A snake bit you. We go to the doctor. He can make it better." + +Mom took Tom and Lily to the car. She drove to the doctor. The doctor gave Lily some medicine. He said, "Don't worry. The snake was not bad. It was not poison. You will be fine. But next time, don't touch snakes. They don't like that. They wander away." + +Tom and Lily learned their lesson. They said, "Thank you, doctor. Thank you, mom. We are sorry. We won't touch snakes again. We will be careful. We will be kind." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's good. I love you both. Now, let's go home. We can play something else. Something fun. Something safe." +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with a ball in the park. They take turns to kick the ball and catch it. They have fun. + +One day, a big boy comes to the park. He sees Tom and Sam playing with the ball. He wants the ball. He runs to them and says, "Give me the ball. It is mine now." + +Tom and Sam are scared. They do not want to give the ball. They say, "No, it is our ball. We found it. Go away." + +The big boy is angry. He pushes Tom and Sam to the ground. He grabs the ball and runs away. He laughs and says, "Ha ha, I have the ball. You are losers." + +Tom and Sam are sad. They cry. They have no ball. They have no fun. They go home. + +Tom's mom sees Tom crying. She asks, "What is wrong, Tom? Why are you crying?" + +Tom tells his mom what happened. He says, "A big boy took our ball. He was mean. He hurt us." + +Tom's mom is mad. She says, "That is not nice. That is not fair. I am sorry, Tom. I am proud of you for telling me. We will find the big boy and get the ball back." + +Tom's mom takes Tom to the park. She looks for the big boy. She sees him playing with the ball. She walks to him and says, "Hey, you. Give me the ball. It is not yours. It is Tom's and Sam's. You stole it. You were bad." + +The big boy sees Tom's mom. He is not scared. He is rude. He says, "No, it is my ball. I took it. You can't have it. Go away." + +Tom's mom is shocked. She says, "How dare you? You are a bully. You are a thief. You have no manners. You have no friends. You should be ashamed." + +The big boy is not ashamed. He is proud. He says, "I don't care. I am strong. I am smart. I have the ball. You are weak. You are dumb. You have nothing." + +Tom's mom is hurt. She does not know what to do. She looks at Tom. He is still crying. She feels sad. She says, "Come on, Tom. Let's go. We don't need the ball. We have each other. We have love." + +Tom and Sam hug their mom. They say, "We love you, mom. You are the best." + +They leave the park. They have no ball. They have no fun. They have a bad day. The end. +Anna likes to make jewelry with her mom. They use beads, strings, and clips to make necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Anna likes the bright colors of the beads. She likes to wear her jewelry and show it to her friends. + +One day, Anna's mom tells her that they can mail some jewelry to her grandma, who lives far away. Anna is happy, because she loves her grandma and wants to make her smile. She picks some of her favorite jewelry and puts it in a small box. Her mom helps her write a card with her name and a heart. + +They go to the post office and give the box to a man. He puts a stamp on it and says, "This will go to your grandma in a few days. She will be very happy to get your jewelry." Anna nods and says, "Thank you, mister. I hope she likes it." + +Anna and her mom go back home and wait for a call from grandma. Anna wonders what grandma will say when she opens the box. She hopes she will like the bright jewelry and the card. She hopes she will feel Anna's hug and kiss. She hopes she will call soon and tell her how much she loves her. +Lily and Max liked to play with their toys in their room. They had many toys, like cars, dolls, blocks and books. But they did not have much space to play. Their room was small and their toys were many. + +One day, their mom said, "Why don't you play in the living room today? There is more space there. You can spread your toys on the floor and be creative." + +Lily and Max were happy. They took their toys to the living room and spread them on the floor. They made a big city with their blocks and cars. They made a school with their dolls and books. They had fun playing with their toys. + +"Look, mom, we made a city and a school!" Lily said. + +"That's very creative, Lily. I'm proud of you and Max. You are using your imagination and your toys well," mom said. + +"Thank you, mom. We like playing in the living room. There is more space here. Can we play here again tomorrow?" Max asked. + +"Of course, Max. You can play here again tomorrow. But remember to clean up your toys when you are done. We don't want to leave a mess in the living room," mom said. + +"OK, mom. We will clean up our toys. We are good kids," Lily and Max said. + +They hugged their mom and went back to playing with their toys. They were happy and creative. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big red ball on the grass. Lily wants to play with the ball. She runs to the ball and grabs it. + +"Look, Ben, I have the ball!" Lily says. She throws the ball in the air and catches it. + +Ben runs to Lily. He wants to play with the ball too. He grabs the ball from Lily's hands. + +"Hey, give me the ball!" Lily says. She tries to grab the ball back. + +"No, it's my turn!" Ben says. He holds the ball tight. + +They tug and pull and shout. The ball slips from their hands and rolls away. They chase the ball. + +A man is sitting on a bench. He is reading a book. He has a lively dog with him. The dog sees the ball. The dog runs to the ball and grabs it. He brings the ball to the man. + +"Good boy, Spot!" the man says. He pets the dog. He puts the ball in his pocket. + +Lily and Ben reach the bench. They see the man and the dog. They see the ball in the man's pocket. + +"Excuse me, sir, can we have our ball back?" Lily asks. She points to the pocket. + +The man looks at them. He smiles. + +"Sure, kids, here you go," he says. He takes the ball out of his pocket and gives it to them. + +"Thank you, sir!" Lily and Ben say. They take the ball. + +They look at the dog. The dog wags his tail. He barks. + +"Can we play with your dog?" Ben asks. + +"Of course, he loves to play," the man says. He puts the book down. + +Lily and Ben play with the dog. They throw the ball and the dog fetches it. They laugh and have fun. The man watches them. He smiles. +Tom and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat lunch. But Mom was busy on the phone. She did not hear them. + +"Mom, we are hungry!" Tom said. He tried to get Mom's attention. + +"Mom, we want food!" Lily said. She pulled Mom's skirt. + +Mom said, "Shh, I'm talking. Wait a minute." + +But Tom and Lily did not want to wait. They saw a big cake on the table. It looked yummy. It had pink frosting and sprinkles. + +"Let's eat the cake!" Tom said. He climbed on a chair. + +"No, that's not ours!" Lily said. She worried. "That's for Grandma's birthday!" + +But Tom did not listen. He reached for the cake. He grabbed a big piece with his hand. He stuffed it in his mouth. + +Lily gasped. She saw Mom coming. She was angry. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Mom yelled. She saw the cake. It had a big hole. It was ruined. + +Tom looked at Mom. He had cake all over his face. He felt bad. He tried to hide behind a napkin. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," he said. He spit out some cake. + +Mom sighed. She was sad. She put down the phone. + +"You are in trouble, young man," she said. She took the cake and the napkin. She cleaned Tom's face. + +Lily felt sorry for Tom. She hugged him. + +"It's okay, Tom," she said. "We can make another cake for Grandma." + +Mom smiled. She hugged them both. + +"Thank you, Lily," she said. "That's very sweet of you. But you two still need to eat lunch. And no more cake until later." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They followed Mom to the kitchen. They were still hungry. But they learned their lesson. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But Ben has something that Sam does not have. Ben has a red bike. He can ride it very fast and do tricks. Sam does not have a bike. He only has a ball. + +One day, Ben and Sam go to the park with their moms. Ben brings his red bike. Sam brings his ball. They play together for a while, but then Ben wants to ride his bike. He says to Sam, "Do you want to try my bike? It is very cool. You can go fast and do tricks." + +Sam wants to try the bike, but he is afraid. He does not know how to ride a bike. He thinks he will fall and hurt himself. He says to Ben, "No, thank you. I like my ball. It is very fun. You can throw it and catch it and kick it." + +Ben does not believe Sam. He thinks Sam is jealous of his bike. He says to Sam, "You are just jealous of my bike. You wish you had a bike like mine. You are a baby. You do not know how to ride a bike. You are scared." + +Sam feels sad and angry. He does not like what Ben says. He says to Ben, "I am not jealous of your bike. I am not a baby. I am not scared. You are a mean friend. You do not share. You do not care." + +Ben and Sam start to fight. They yell at each other. They push each other. They throw mud at each other. Their moms see them and are not happy. They say to Ben and Sam, "Stop fighting right now. You are being naughty. You are not being good friends. You should be kind and respectful to each other. You should apologize and make up." + +Ben and Sam feel ashamed. They realize they were wrong. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They decide to share their toys and play together. They learn that friendship is more important than having a bike or a ball. They learn that being jealous and mean is not nice. They learn that being kind and respectful is good. They are happy again. +Lily was a hungry cat. She liked to catch mice and eat them. One day, she saw a mouse in the garden. She ran after it and caught it in her mouth. + +"Please, let me go!" the mouse said. "I have a family and friends. You don't need to eat me." + +Lily did not care. She was hungry and wanted to eat the mouse. She carried the mouse to her house. She wanted to show her owner what a good cat she was. + +But when she got to the house, she saw something that made her drop the mouse. It was a big dog. The dog barked at Lily and chased her. Lily was scared and ran away. + +The mouse saw his chance. He picked up a stone and threw it at the dog. The stone hit the dog on the nose. The dog yelped and ran away. + +The mouse was happy. He had escaped from the cat and the dog. He thanked the stone and ran back to his family and friends. + +Lily was sad. She had lost her mouse and her owner was angry with her. She wished she had listened to the mouse and let him go. Maybe then she would have made a new friend. +Lily was hungry. She wanted to eat something sweet. She saw a big jar of honey on the shelf. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. But the jar was too heavy for her. It slipped from her hands and fell on the floor. The honey spilled everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "Mommy will be angry!" + +She heard Mommy coming. She tried to hide behind the chair. But Mommy saw the mess. + +"Lily, what did you do?" Mommy asked. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy. I wanted honey. But the jar was too big. It broke and the honey came out." Lily said. + +Mommy sighed. She was not happy, but she was not angry either. She knew Lily was a little girl who liked to explore. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. But honey is not good for you. It can make you sick. And it can make the floor sticky and dirty. Next time, ask me before you take something from the shelf." + +Mommy took a cloth and a mop. She started to clean the honey. Lily wanted to help. She took another cloth and wiped the honey from the chair. She felt bad for making a mess. She wanted to make Mommy happy. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good helper." Mommy said. + +Lily smiled. She was glad Mommy was not angry. She was also glad she did not eat the honey. She did not like the taste of it. It was too sweet and sticky. She wanted something else. + +"Mommy, can I have a banana?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily. A banana is a healthy snack. It can fill your tummy and give you energy." Mommy said. + +She peeled a banana and gave it to Lily. Lily took a bite. She liked the taste of it. It was soft and sweet and yummy. She ate the whole banana. + +"Thank you, Mommy. I love you." Lily said. + +"I love you too, Lily. You are my sweet girl." Mommy said. + +They hugged and kissed. They were happy. They forgot about the honey. They only remembered the banana. +Sara and Ben are twins. They share a room and a bed. Every morning, their mom comes to wake them up for school. But Sara and Ben do not like school. They like to sleep and play. + +One morning, Sara has a plan. She tells Ben, "Let us pretend to be sick. Then we do not have to go to school. We can sleep and play all day." Ben thinks this is a good plan. He nods and smiles. + +When their mom comes to wake them up, Sara and Ben do not open their eyes. They make noises like they are sick. They cough and sneeze and moan. Their mom feels their heads and says, "Oh no, you are very hot. You have a fever. You cannot go to school today. You have to stay in bed and rest." + +Sara and Ben are happy. They think their plan worked. They wait for their mom to leave. Then they open their eyes and giggle. They push each other and tickle each other. They have fun in bed. + +But their mom is not stupid. She knows they are not sick. She is angry. She comes back to their room with a big bottle. She says, "You are not sick. You are naughty. You lied to me. You have to take this medicine. It will make you feel normal again." + +Sara and Ben are scared. They do not like medicine. It tastes bad and smells bad. They try to hide under the covers. But their mom pulls them out. She makes them open their mouths. She pours the medicine down their throats. They cough and spit and cry. + +Their mom says, "That is what you get for lying to me. Now you have to stay in bed all day. No TV, no toys, no games, no fun. And tomorrow, you have to go to school. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They are sorry. They wish they had not lied. They wish they had gone to school. They wish they had a normal day. +Lily and Tom went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Lily liked the swans. They were white and graceful. She wanted to feed them some bread. + +"Mom, can I give the swans some bread?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful. They might bite," Mom said. She gave Lily a slice of bread and told her to break it into small pieces. + +Lily and Tom walked to the edge of the pond. They saw a swan swimming near them. It had a long neck and a black beak. Lily threw a piece of bread to the swan. The swan ate it and came closer. + +"Hello, swan. Do you want more bread?" Lily said. + +The swan nodded and opened its beak. Lily threw another piece of bread. The swan caught it and swallowed it. Then it made a loud noise. + +"Quack, quack, quack!" the swan said. + +Lily and Tom laughed. They thought the swan was funny. They threw more bread to the swan. The swan ate them all and quacked again. + +"Quack, quack, quack!" + +But then, something bad happened. The swan saw another swan coming. It did not like the other swan. It wanted all the bread for itself. It flapped its wings and hissed at the other swan. + +"Go away! This is my bread!" the swan said. + +The other swan did not go away. It wanted some bread too. It flapped its wings and hissed back. + +"No, this is my bread!" the other swan said. + +The two swans started to fight. They bit and pecked each other. They splashed water and feathers everywhere. They scared the ducks and the other swans. + +Lily and Tom were scared too. They did not like the fighting swans. They ran back to Mom. + +"Mom, Mom, the swans are fighting!" Lily said. + +"Mom, Mom, the swans are mean!" Tom said. + +Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay, sweeties. The swans are just being greedy. They don't know how to share. Let's go to the playground instead. Maybe we can find some nice friends there." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They followed Mom to the playground. They left the bread and the swans behind. They hoped the swans would stop fighting and learn to share. They also hoped the bread was not sour. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tim had a big dinosaur that roared and moved its tail. Lily had a small dinosaur that squeaked and blinked its eyes. Tim liked his dinosaur more than Lily's dinosaur. + +"Look at my dinosaur, Lily. It is so strong and loud. Your dinosaur is weak and quiet. You need a better dinosaur," Tim said. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She liked her dinosaur very much. It was cute and friendly. She did not need a better dinosaur. + +"No, Tim. I don't need a better dinosaur. My dinosaur is good enough. You are ignorant. You don't know anything about dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are not all strong and loud. Some dinosaurs are small and smart. They can hide and run fast. They can work together and help each other. Your dinosaur is lonely and mean. It scares other dinosaurs away," Lily said. + +Tim felt surprised and hurt. He did not know that Lily knew so much about dinosaurs. He did not know that his dinosaur was lonely and mean. He liked his dinosaur, but he did not want to scare other dinosaurs away. + +"Really, Lily? I didn't know that. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be ignorant. I want to learn more about dinosaurs. Can you teach me? Can we play together? Can our dinosaurs be friends?" Tim asked. + +Lily smiled and nodded. She was happy that Tim apologized and wanted to learn. She was happy that they could play together. She was happy that their dinosaurs could be friends. + +"Sure, Tim. I can teach you. We can play together. Our dinosaurs can be friends. Come on, let's go to the garden. There are more dinosaurs there. We can pretend that we are dinosaur explorers. It will be fun," Lily said. + +Tim and Lily took their dinosaurs and went to the garden. They saw many different dinosaurs there. Some were big and some were small. Some were loud and some were quiet. Some were green and some were blue. They learned their names and their habits. They had fun playing with them. They forgot their fight and became friends. They realized that they did not need better dinosaurs. They had the best dinosaurs ever. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they have paint and paper. They want to make pictures. + +"Look, I paint a swing!" Tom says. He uses red and blue paint. He makes a thick line for the rope and a circle for the seat. + +"That is nice, Tom!" Mia says. She uses yellow and green paint. She paints a sun and a tree. She makes thin lines for the rays and the leaves. + +They show each other their pictures. They are happy. They put their pictures on the grass to dry. + +"Let's go on the swing!" Mia says. She runs to the swing. Tom follows her. They take turns to push each other. They go high and low. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and have fun. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily has a doll and Ben has a car. + +"Look, my doll can dance!" Lily says, moving her doll up and down. + +"Vroom, vroom, my car can go fast!" Ben says, pushing his car on the floor. + +They play for a long time, until they hear their mom calling them. + +"Lily, Ben, time for lunch!" Mom says. + +Lily and Ben pause their game and run to the kitchen. They are hungry and want to eat. + +"Can we bring our toys?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, but you have to put them away after you finish eating," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben nod and carry their toys to the table. They sit down and enjoy their sandwiches and juice. + +After they eat, they want to play some more. But they remember what Mom said. + +"Where can we put our toys?" Ben asks. + +"Let's see if there is a bin available," Lily says. + +They look around and see a big bin in the corner. It has a sign that says "Toys". + +"Look, there is a bin for toys!" Lily says. + +"Good, let's put our toys there," Ben says. + +They walk to the bin and put their toys inside. They make sure they are not too crowded or messy. + +"Bye, doll, bye, car, see you later!" Lily and Ben say. + +They give their toys a hug and a kiss. Then they go back to Mom. + +"Mom, we put our toys away!" Lily and Ben say. + +"Good job, I'm proud of you!" Mom says. + +She gives them a hug and a kiss too. Then she asks them what they want to do next. + +"Can we read a book?" Lily asks. + +"Can we draw a picture?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, we can do both!" Mom says. + +She takes them to the couch and picks a book. She reads to them and shows them the pictures. Then she gives them some paper and crayons. They draw their own pictures of their toys and their game. + +They have a lot of fun and are happy. They love their toys, their mom, and each other. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide. They had a lot of fun. But the sun was very hot and bright. It made their skin red and sore. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. "My skin hurts!" + +"Me too!" Ben said. "Let's go home and tell Mommy!" + +They ran to their house and knocked on the door. Mommy opened it and saw their faces. + +"Oh, no!" Mommy said. "You have sunburns! You should have worn hats and sunscreen!" + +She took them inside and put some lotion on their skin. The lotion was cold and smooth. It made them feel a little better. + +"Mommy, we're sorry," Lily said. "We forgot to put on sunscreen." + +Mommy looked at them and smiled. She was honest and kind. + +"It's okay, sweeties," she said. "You made a mistake, but you learned from it. Next time, you will remember to protect your skin, right?" + +"Yes, Mommy," they said. + +Mommy hugged them and gave them some juice and cookies. She said they should rest on the couch and watch some cartoons. They nodded and snuggled up with their blankets and pillows. + +But as they watched the TV, they started to feel worse. Their skin became more red and swollen. It started to itch and peel. They felt hot and sick. They moaned and cried. + +"Mommy, Mommy, help!" they shouted. + +Mommy heard them and came to the couch. She saw their skin and gasped. She felt their foreheads and frowned. They had a fever. + +"Oh, no!" Mommy said. "This is bad! You have a sunburn infection! You need to go to the hospital!" + +She grabbed her phone and called the doctor. She told him what happened and asked him to come quickly. She packed some clothes and toys for them and put them in the car. She drove fast and worried. + +Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They wished they had listened to Mommy and worn hats and sunscreen. They wished they had not played in the park for so long. They wished they had not gotten sunburns. They wished they had not gotten sick. They wished they could go back and do things differently. But they could not. They had to go to the hospital and get needles and medicine. They did not know if they would get better. They did not know if they would ever play in the park again. They did not know what would happen to them. They had a bad ending. +Anna likes to help her dad with his work. He makes things with wood and nails. He has a big hammer and a box of nails. Anna wants to use the hammer too, but dad says it is too heavy and loud for her. + +One day, dad has to go to the store to buy more wood. He tells Anna to stay inside and play with her toys. He says he will be back soon. Anna nods and says bye to dad. She watches him drive away in his truck. + +Anna is bored with her toys. She sees the box of nails on the table. She thinks they look shiny and fun. She wants to make something with them. She looks for the hammer, but she can't find it. Dad must have taken it with him. She sees a spoon in the kitchen. She thinks it can be a hammer too. + +She takes the spoon and the box of nails and goes to the backyard. She finds a piece of wood on the ground. She puts a nail on the wood and hits it with the spoon. It makes a small dent, but the nail does not go in. She hits it harder and harder, but the nail still does not go in. She gets angry and frustrated. + +She hears a voice behind her. It is her mom. She has come home from work. She sees Anna with the spoon and the nail. She is surprised and worried. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" mom asks. + +"I'm making something with nails, like dad," Anna says. + +"Anna, that is not a good idea. You can hurt yourself or the wood. Nails are sharp and hard. You need a hammer and a gentle hand to use them. And you should always ask dad or me before you use his tools. They are not toys," mom says. + +Anna feels sorry and ashamed. She drops the spoon and the nail. She runs to mom and hugs her. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to help dad. I didn't know nails were bad," Anna says. + +"It's okay, Anna. I know you meant well. But you have to be careful and listen to us. We love you and we don't want you to get hurt. Come on, let's go inside and have a snack. Maybe we can make something else with nails later, with dad's help," mom says. + +Anna smiles and nods. She holds mom's hand and goes inside. She thinks maybe she can make a picture with nails and paper. She thinks dad will like that. She thinks nails can be good, if you use them right. +Sara and Tom are cousins.

They want to have some fun. They see Spot sleeping on a chair. Sara has an idea. + +"Let's dare Spot to play with us," she says to Tom. "He is always so lazy and sleepy." + +Tom nods. He likes to dare. He picks up a ball and throws it near Spot. Spot opens one eye and looks at the ball. He does not move. + +"Spot, Spot, come and play with us," Sara calls. "We dare you to catch the ball." + +Spot yawns and closes his eye. He does not care. + +Sara and Tom are not happy. They want Spot to play with them. They try to make more noise and throw more things. But Spot does not move. + +Their aunt hears them. She comes out of the house. She is not happy either. She is sad. + +"Children, stop bothering Spot," she says. "He is old and sick. He needs to rest. He does not like to play anymore." + +Sara and Tom are surprised. They did not know that Spot was old and sick. They feel sorry for him. They also feel sorry for their aunt. They love her and Spot. + +"We are sorry, aunt," they say. "We did not mean to make you sad. We just wanted to have some fun." + +Their aunt smiles. She hugs them and kisses them. + +"It's okay, children," she says. "I know you did not know. You are good and kind. I love you. Why don't you play with something else? I have some books and toys in the house. You can also help me water the flowers and feed the birds." + +Sara and Tom nod. They follow their aunt to the house. They leave Spot alone. They do not dare him anymore. They hope he will feel better soon. They also hope their aunt will be happy again. +Lily was a little girl who liked to wonder about many things. She wondered why the sky was blue, why the birds could fly, and why the stars twinkled at night. She also wondered what was inside her stomach, and how it made noises when she was hungry. + +One day, she asked her mom, "Mom, what is in my stomach? Is it like a bag of food?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "No, sweetie, your stomach is not like a bag of food. Your stomach is a part of your body that helps you digest the food you eat. It breaks down the food into smaller pieces that your body can use for energy and growth." + +Lily nodded, but she still wondered how her stomach did that. She imagined that her stomach had teeth and claws that chopped up the food, or that it had a fire that burned the food, or that it had a magic wand that turned the food into something else. + +She decided to draw her ideas on a paper and show them to her mom. She used many colors and shapes to make her pictures. She thought they were very beautiful. + +When she finished, she ran to her mom and said, "Look, mom, this is what I think is in my stomach. Do you like it?" + +Her mom looked at her drawings and laughed. She saw a stomach with teeth and claws, a stomach with a fire, and a stomach with a magic wand. She hugged Lily and said, "I love it, Lily. You are very creative and smart. Your stomach is beautiful, just like you." +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play in their room. They have a big bed with a blue cover. Sometimes they jump on the bed and pretend they are frogs. + +One day, they are jumping on the bed and making loud noises. They laugh and say "ribbit, ribbit". Their mom hears them and comes to the door. She says "Stop jumping on the bed, you two. You will fall and hurt yourself. It is time for a nap." + +Sara and Tom do not want to nap. They say "No, no, we are not sleepy. We want to play more." They keep jumping on the bed. Their mom says "OK, but be careful. I will be back soon." + +Sara and Tom think their mom is gone. They jump higher and higher. They say "We are the best frogs in the world. We can jump to the moon." They have fun, but they do not see the lamp on the table. + +Tom jumps too high and hits the lamp with his head. The lamp falls and breaks. The glass cuts Tom's arm. He says "Ow, ow, ow. That hurts. I am bleeding." He starts to cry. + +Sara sees Tom's arm and gets scared. She says "Oh no, Tom. You are hurt. I am sorry. I will get mom." She jumps off the bed and runs to the door. But she slips on the glass and falls too. She bumps her head and says "Ow, ow, ow. That hurts too. I am dizzy." She starts to cry too. + +Their mom hears them crying and comes back. She sees the broken lamp, the glass, and the blood. She says "Oh my, what happened here? You are both hurt. You are crazy. Why did you not listen to me?" She hugs them and says "It is OK, I will help you. Come with me. We will clean your wounds and put some bandages. Then you will nap for real. No more jumping on the bed, OK?" + +Sara and Tom nod and say "OK, mom. We are sorry. We love you." They hold their mom's hand and walk to the bathroom. They are still crying, but they feel better. They learn their lesson. They do not jump on the bed anymore. They are good frogs. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big bike. It has two seats and two wheels. Lily and Sam want to ride the bike. + +"Can we ride the bike?" Lily asks Sam. + +"Yes, let's ride the bike!" Sam says. + +They get on the bike. Lily sits in the front. Sam sits in the back. They hold the handles. They push the pedals. The bike moves. Lily and Sam are happy. They ride the bike around the park. + +They see a man. He is jogging. He wears a hat and a shirt. He smiles at Lily and Sam. + +"Hello, kids!" he says. "You are riding a nice bike!" + +"Thank you, sir!" Lily says. "You are jogging fast!" + +"Yes, I like to jog. It is good for me!" he says. "You are kind to say that!" + +He waves at Lily and Sam. He keeps jogging. Lily and Sam keep riding. They have fun. They are kind friends. +Lisa loved to bake with her mom. They would make cakes, cookies, and pies for their family and friends. Lisa liked to wear her apron and hat, and help her mom measure, mix, and decorate. She thought baking was a fun and yummy fashion. + +One day, Lisa wanted to bake a cake for her dad's birthday. She asked her mom if they could do it together. Her mom said yes, but they had to be quiet, because dad was working in his office. Lisa nodded and smiled. She was excited to surprise her dad with a special cake. + +They went to the kitchen and got all the ingredients and tools they needed. Lisa helped her mom pour the flour, sugar, eggs, and milk into a big bowl. She used a whisk to stir them well. Then she added some vanilla and chocolate to make the cake tasty. She poured the batter into a round pan and her mom put it in the oven. + +While the cake was baking, Lisa and her mom made some frosting and sprinkles. Lisa chose blue and green, because they were her dad's favorite colors. She used a spoon to spread the frosting on the cake, and then sprinkled some stars and hearts on top. She thought the cake looked beautiful and delicious. + +She wanted to show her dad right away, but her mom told her to wait until he was done with his work. Lisa agreed, but she was so proud of her cake that she couldn't help whispering to herself, "We made a cake, we made a cake, we made a cake for dad!" + +Her dad heard her loud voice and came out of his office. He saw Lisa and her mom holding the cake and smiling. He was surprised and happy. He hugged them and thanked them for the wonderful gift. He said the cake was the best he ever had, and he loved them very much. + +Lisa was glad that her dad liked the cake, but she also felt sorry that she spoiled the surprise. She said sorry to her mom and dad for being loud. Her mom and dad said it was okay, and that they were proud of her for baking such a nice cake. They said that baking was a fun and yummy fashion, but being quiet was also a good fashion when someone was working. Lisa learned her lesson and promised to be more careful next time. She enjoyed the cake with her mom and dad, and they had a happy birthday party. +Anna and Ben are playing on the beach. They like to dig in the sand and look for shells. Anna finds a big shell that is shiny and colorful. She thinks it is very attractive. + +"Look, Ben, look what I found!" she says, holding up the shell. + +"Wow, that is a nice shell, Anna. Can I see it?" Ben says, reaching for the shell. + +"No, it is mine. I found it first. You can find your own shell," Anna says, pulling the shell away. + +Ben feels sad and angry. He wants to see the shell too. He thinks Anna is not being fair. He tries to grab the shell from Anna, but she runs away. She runs along the water, laughing. + +Ben runs after her. He wants to catch her and get the shell. He runs faster and faster. He does not see where he is going. + +Suddenly, he steps on something hard and sharp. He feels a pain in his foot. He screams and falls down. He looks at his foot and sees blood. He also sees a crab that is pinching his toe. The crab is angry and scared. It thinks Ben is trying to hurt it. + +"Ow, ow, ow! Help, help, help!" Ben cries. + +Anna hears Ben's scream. She stops running and turns around. She sees Ben on the ground, with a crab on his foot. She feels sorry for him. She drops the shell and runs to him. + +"Ben, are you okay? What happened?" she says, kneeling next to him. + +"A crab bit me. It hurts. Make it go away," Ben says, sobbing. + +Anna carefully takes the crab off Ben's toe. She throws it back into the water. She hugs Ben and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry I was mean to you. I should have shared the shell with you. It is not worth hurting you." + +Ben hugs Anna back and says, "It's okay, Anna. I'm sorry I tried to take the shell from you. It is yours. You can have it." + +Anna and Ben look at each other and smile. They are friends again. They walk back to the shell and pick it up. They decide to share it. They think it is more attractive when they are happy. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their bikes in the park. They rode fast and did tricks on the ramps. One day, Ben tried to jump over a big puddle, but he fell and broke his bike. He was very sad and hurt. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Lily asked. She helped him get up and looked at his bike. The wheel was bent and the chain was loose. "Oh no, your bike is broken. We need to repair it." + +"How can we repair it?" Ben asked. He felt embarrassed that he could not ride his bike anymore. + +"Maybe we can ask Dad. He knows how to fix things. Come on, let's go home." Lily said. She pushed her bike and held Ben's hand. They walked slowly to their house. + +When they got home, they saw Dad in the garage. He was doing exercise with some weights. He smiled when he saw them. + +"Hi, kids. What are you doing?" He asked. + +"Dad, can you help us? Ben broke his bike. He fell in the park." Lily said. + +"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Are you hurt, Ben?" Dad asked. + +"I have a scratch on my knee. And my bike is broken." Ben said. + +"Don't worry, Ben. I can repair your bike. Let me see what I can do." Dad said. He took Ben's bike and looked at it. He used some tools and some spare parts. He straightened the wheel and tightened the chain. He checked the brakes and the pedals. He made the bike look like new. + +"Here you go, Ben. Your bike is fixed. You can ride it again." Dad said. He gave Ben his bike and a hug. + +"Thank you, Dad. You are the best. I'm sorry I broke my bike." Ben said. + +"It's okay, Ben. Accidents happen. Just be careful next time. And wear your helmet." Dad said. + +"I will, Dad. Can we go back to the park, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, Ben. Let's go. And maybe we can do some exercise with Dad later." Lily said. + +They put on their helmets and rode their bikes to the park. They were happy and had fun. Dad watched them and smiled. He was proud of his kids. +Tom and Sue liked to play in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shiny things. Sometimes they found coins or buttons or rocks. They called them minerals. They wanted to find the best minerals ever. + +One day, they saw a big gray rock in the sand. It was very heavy and hard. They thought it was a special mineral. They tried to lift it, but it was too heavy. They asked a big boy to help them. He said he would, but he wanted to see the mineral first. + +He looked at the rock and laughed. He said it was not a mineral. He said it was a piece of concrete. He said they were silly and did not know anything. He said he would not help them. He walked away, still laughing. + +Tom and Sue felt very bad. They felt embarrassed. They did not like the big boy. They did not like the gray rock. They wanted to find a real mineral. They decided to dig somewhere else. + +They dug and dug until they found something shiny and colorful. It was a necklace with many beads. It was very pretty and sparkly. They thought it was a wonderful mineral. They were very happy. They forgot about the big boy and the gray rock. They put the necklace around Sue's neck and ran to show their mom. They felt proud and smart. They liked the necklace. They liked each other. They liked to play in the park. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play with toys and books. One day, Lily saw a big box of chocolate on the table. She wanted to eat some, but her mom said no. She said chocolate was only for after dinner. + +Lily was sad. She had an idea. She asked Tom, "Can you borrow some chocolate for me? Please, please, please?" + +Tom was scared. He knew it was naughty to take chocolate without asking. He said, "No, Lily, we can't. Mom will be angry. She will see the chocolate is gone." + +Lily was mad. She said, "You are not my friend. You are mean. I will borrow some chocolate by myself." She sneaked to the table and grabbed a handful of chocolate. She ran to her room and ate it all. + +But soon, Lily felt sick. Her tummy hurt. She also felt guilty. She knew she did something bad. She heard her mom calling, "Lily, Tom, dinner is ready. Come and wash your hands." + +Lily was afraid. She did not want to face her mom. She hid under her bed. Tom came to her room. He saw the chocolate wrappers on the floor. He said, "Lily, what did you do? You were very naughty. You should say sorry to mom. She will forgive you." + +Lily cried. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry, mom. I was greedy. I won't borrow chocolate again. Can you still be my friend?" + +Tom hugged her. He said, "Of course, Lily. You are my friend. But you have to be good. Come on, let's go to mom. She will make you feel better." +Sam was a little boy who liked to drink milk every morning. He would wake up early and go to the kitchen, where his mom would pour him a glass of milk and give him a hug. Sam liked to drink his milk while watching the sunrise from the window. He thought the sunrise was very pretty, with all the colors and light. + +One morning, Sam woke up and felt miserable. He had a sore throat and a fever, and he did not want to drink anything. He stayed in bed and cried. His mom came to his room and felt his forehead. She said he was sick and needed to rest. She gave him some medicine and a glass of water, but Sam did not want to drink it. He said it tasted bad and made him more miserable. + +"Please, Sam, you have to drink some water. It will help you feel better," his mom said. "Look, the sunrise is coming. Don't you want to see it?" + +Sam looked at the window, but he did not see the sunrise. He only saw gray clouds and rain. He felt more miserable and turned away. + +"No, I don't want to see it. The sunrise is gone. Everything is gone," he said. + +His mom hugged him and said, "No, Sam, the sunrise is not gone. It is just hiding behind the clouds. It will come back soon, and so will you. You just have to drink some water and rest. I promise you, everything will be okay." + +She kissed him and left the glass of water on his nightstand. Sam closed his eyes and tried to sleep. He did not believe his mom. He thought the sunrise was gone forever, and he would never feel better. + +But the next morning, Sam woke up and felt a little better. His throat was less sore and his fever was lower. He opened his eyes and saw a bright light coming from the window. He got up and looked outside. He saw the sunrise, shining and beautiful, with all the colors and light. He smiled and felt happy. + +He grabbed the glass of water and drank it. It did not taste bad anymore. It tasted good and made him feel better. He ran to the kitchen, where his mom was waiting for him. She smiled and hugged him. + +"Good morning, Sam. How are you feeling?" she asked. + +"Good, mom. I'm feeling good. I drank the water and I saw the sunrise. It came back, mom. It came back," he said. + +"I told you, Sam. The sunrise is not gone. It is always there, even when you can't see it. And so are you. You are always there, even when you feel miserable. You just have to drink some water and rest, and everything will be okay," she said. + +She poured him a glass of milk and gave him a kiss. Sam drank his milk and watched the sunrise from the window.

He was happy. +Lily loved her bicycle. It was red and shiny and had a bell. She liked to ride it in the park with her dad. One day, she saw a big dog in the park. The dog was barking and running after a little cat. The cat was scared and climbed up a tree. + +Lily wanted to help the cat. She said to her dad, "Dad, look! The dog is mean to the cat. We have to save the cat!" Her dad nodded and said, "OK, Lily, let's go." They rode their bicycles to the tree where the cat was. The dog was still barking and jumping at the tree. + +Lily got off her bicycle and said to the dog, "Stop, dog! You are not nice. Leave the cat alone!" The dog looked at Lily and growled. He did not listen to her. He tried to bite her bicycle. Lily was brave and said, "No, dog! This is my bicycle. You cannot have it." She pushed the dog away with her bicycle. The dog was surprised and ran away. + +Lily smiled and said, "Bye, dog! You are not mighty. You are silly." She looked up at the tree and said, "Hello, cat! You are safe now. You can come down." The cat meowed and jumped down from the tree. He rubbed his head against Lily's leg and said, "Thank you, Lily! You are mighty. You saved me." Lily hugged the cat and said, "You are welcome, cat! You are cute. Do you want to be my friend?" The cat nodded and said, "Yes, Lily! I want to be your friend." They played together in the park with Lily's dad and her bicycle. They were happy. +Tommy hates aeroplanes. They are big and loud and scary. They make his ears hurt and his tummy feel funny. He does not like to go on them. + +One day, his mom and dad tell him they have to go on an aeroplane. They are going to visit grandma and grandpa in another place. Tommy does not want to go. He cries and kicks and says no. + +His mom and dad try to make him feel better. They give him a toy and a book and a snack. They tell him aeroplanes are fun and safe and fast. They tell him he will see clouds and birds and stars. They tell him he will love grandma and grandpa and their house and their dog. + +Tommy does not listen. He still hates aeroplanes. He holds his mom's hand and his dad's hand and closes his eyes. He hopes the aeroplane will go away. + +But the aeroplane does not go away. It takes off and flies in the sky. It is gray and cold and noisy. Tommy feels scared and sad and angry. He wishes he was home with his toys and his bed and his fish. + +He does not know that soon he will see a rainbow and a mountain and a lake.

Sometimes they had tea parties, and sometimes they had adventures. + +One night, they decided to have a camping adventure in the backyard. They brought a tent, a sleeping bag, and a flashlight. They set up the tent and crawled inside. They were very excited. + +But then it started to rain. The rain was loud and scary. It made the tent wet and cold. Lily and Ben felt miserable. They wanted to go back inside, but they were afraid of the dark. + +They turned on the flashlight and hugged each other. They tried to discuss what to do. They thought of their parents, their toys, and their warm beds. They wished they were there. + +Then they heard a voice. It was Lily's mom. She had seen the flashlight and came to check on them. She smiled and said, "Are you having fun, kids?" + +Lily and Ben shook their heads. They said, "No, we are miserable. Can we go inside, please?" + +Lily's mom nodded. She said, "Of course, you can. Come on, let's go. You can have some hot chocolate and cookies." + +Lily and Ben felt happy. They grabbed the flashlight and followed Lily's mom. They said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best." + +They learned that camping was fun, but only when it was dry and warm. And they learned that sometimes it was better to discuss their plans with their parents first. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big slide that was pink. Lily loved pink. She wanted to go on the slide. + +"Can we go on the slide, Ben?" she asked. + +Ben looked at the slide. It was very high and steep. He felt scared. He did not like high things. + +"I don't know, Lily. It looks too big for us," he said. + +Lily did not listen. She ran to the slide and climbed the steps. She reached the top and smiled. She saw the whole park from there. She waved at Ben. + +"Come on, Ben! It's fun!" she shouted. + +Ben did not want to make Lily sad. He wanted to be brave. He walked to the slide and climbed the steps. He reached the top and saw Lily. She was sitting on the edge of the slide, ready to go down. + +"Are you sure, Lily? It's very fast," he said. + +Lily nodded. She leaned forward and slid down the slide. She laughed and screamed. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She landed on the ground and looked up. She saw Ben. + +"See, Ben? It's not scary. It's fun! Come on, try it!" she said. + +Ben looked at the slide. He saw how fast Lily went. He felt his heart beat fast. He did not want to go down the slide. He wanted to go back to his toys. But he did not want to let Lily down. He leaned forward and slid down the slide. + +He did not laugh or scream. He felt his stomach drop and his eyes water. He landed on the ground and felt dizzy. He looked at Lily. She was smiling and clapping. + +"Wow, Ben! You did it! You're so brave! Wasn't it fun?" she said. + +Ben did not answer. He did not think it was fun. He thought it was scary. He wished he never went on the slide. He wished he said no to Lily. He learned a lesson that day. He learned to say what he felt and not do things he did not like. He also learned that pink was not his favorite color. Not yet. +Tom and Mia liked to play in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. One day, they saw a caterpillar on a leaf. It was green and fuzzy. + +"Look, a caterpillar!" Tom said. "I wonder what it will be when it grows up." + +"Maybe a butterfly," Mia said. "Or a moth. They have wings and fly." + +"Let's race it," Tom said. "We can run and see who is faster. The caterpillar or us." + +"Okay," Mia said. "But we have to be gentle. We don't want to hurt it." + +They put the caterpillar on the ground and made a line with a stick. They stood on one side and the caterpillar was on the other. + +"Ready, set, go!" Tom shouted. + +They ran as fast as they could. The caterpillar crawled slowly. It did not know they were racing. + +Tom and Mia reached the other end of the garden. They turned around and looked for the caterpillar. It was still on the ground, near the stick. + +"We won!" Tom said. "We are faster than the caterpillar." + +"But look," Mia said. "It has a house on its back. It is making a cocoon. That is how it will change." + +They went closer and saw the caterpillar spinning a silk case around itself. It was a modern caterpillar. It could make its own home. + +"Wow," Tom said. "That is cool. Maybe it will be a beautiful butterfly." + +"Or a moth," Mia said. "Either way, it will be happy. And we can be its friends." + +They smiled and watched the caterpillar in its cocoon. They decided to race again another day. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden.

They thought they could use the saw to cut a branch and make a ladder. + +They took the saw and went to the tree. They tried to cut a branch, but the saw was too heavy and sharp. They could not manage to use it. They almost hurt themselves. They were scared and dropped the saw. + +Mom saw them and ran to them. She was angry and worried. She took the saw and put it back in the shed. She told them not to touch the saw again. She said the saw was not a toy and it was dangerous.

They asked Max to stop and give their blocks back. But Max did not listen. He laughed and said they were silly and weak. He said he could do whatever he wanted with their blocks. He said they were his now. + +Tim and Amy tried to get their blocks back. They pushed and pulled and shouted. But Max was stronger and louder. He pushed them away and threw some blocks at them. He hurt them and made them cry. + +Tim and Amy ran away. They looked for their mom and dad. They told them what Max did. They hoped they would help them and make Max go away.

I am the king. You have to do what I say." + +The girl was scared. She said, "No, please. These are mine. I made them with my mom. They are special to me. You have a big hat and a big chair. Why do you want mine?" + +Tom did not listen. He grabbed the girl's hat and chair. He put them on his head and sat on them. He said, "Ha ha. Now I have two hats and two chairs. I am the best king ever." + +But the girl's hat and chair were too small for Tom. They did not fit him. They broke. The hat fell off his head and the chair fell apart. Tom was wet and cold and silly. The girl was sad and mad and hurt. She ran away. + +Tom's people saw what Tom did. They did not like him. They said, "Tom is a bad king. He is mean and greedy. He does not care about us.

It was black and shiny. + +"Wow, look at that beetle!" Max said. "It is so cool!" + +Lily was not so sure. She thought beetles were boring. She liked butterflies and ladybugs better. They were pretty and colorful. + +"I dare you to touch it," Max said to Lily. He wanted to see if she was brave. + +Lily did not want to touch the beetle. She thought it might bite her or tickle her. She was scared. + +"No, I don't want to touch it," Lily said. "You touch it first." + +Max was not scared. He liked beetles. He reached out his hand and gently touched the beetle. It did not bite him or tickle him. It just crawled on his finger. + +"See, it is not scary," Max said. "It is friendly. Do you want to hold it?" + +Lily looked at the beetle. It was not so boring after all. It had little legs and eyes and wings. It was kind of cute. + +"Okay, I will hold it," Lily said. She took the beetle from Max and held it in her hand. It felt smooth and warm. + +She smiled at Max. "You were right, it is cool," she said. + +They played with the beetle for a while. Then they let it go back to the leaf.

"We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to play with the blocks. But we did not agree. We did not listen. We did not share." + +Mom said to Ben and Lily. "It is okay to play with the blocks. But you have to be nice to each other. You have to respect each other's choices. You have to take turns. You have to share. Can you do that?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said to Mom. "Yes, Mom. We can do that. We can be nice. We can respect. We can take turns. We can share." + +Mom smiled. She said to Ben and Lily. "That is good. I am proud of you. Now, why don't you clean up the mess and then play together nicely? Maybe you can make something new with the blocks. Maybe you can use all the colors and shapes. Maybe you can make something blue and organized." + +Ben and Lily smiled. They said to Mom. "Okay, Mom. We will do that. We will clean up. We will play together nicely. We will make something blue and organized." + +They hugged Mom. They hugged each other. They cleaned up the mess. They played together nicely. They made something blue and organized. They had fun. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, but they always wanted the same one. They were very competitive and did not like to share. + +One day, they found a big red car that could zoom very fast. They both wanted to play with it, but there was only one. They started to fight and pull the car from each other. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to stop and take turns. + +Suddenly, they felt the floor shake and heard a loud noise. It was an earthquake! They were scared and dropped the car. They ran to their mom, who hugged them and told them to be calm. The earthquake was over soon, but it made a big mess in their room. Their cars were scattered everywhere, and some were broken. + +Ben and Sam looked at the big red car, which was now cracked and missing a wheel. They felt sorry for fighting over it and breaking it. They realized that it was not worth it to be so competitive and selfish. They decided to say sorry to each other and to their mom, and to share their cars from now on. They learned that playing together was more fun than fighting. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with sand. They had a big sandpit in the park where they could make castles and hills and tunnels. Tom had a red bucket and a blue shovel that his mom gave him for his birthday. Sam had a yellow bucket and a green shovel that he found in a trash can. They were cheap and old, but Sam did not mind. + +One day, they decided to make a big castle together. They worked hard and filled their buckets with sand. Then they dumped them on the ground and shaped them with their shovels. Tom said, "We need more sand to make the castle taller. Let's add more buckets on top." Sam agreed and went to get more sand. + +But when he came back, he saw that Tom had taken his yellow bucket and his green shovel. Tom said, "I need these to make the castle better. Your bucket and shovel are cheap and ugly. Mine are new and pretty." Sam felt sad and angry. He said, "That's not fair. You can't take my things. They are mine. Give them back." Tom said, "No, I won't. They are mine now. Go away." + +Sam did not want to fight with Tom, but he did not want to lose his things either. He thought of a way to get them back. He said, "OK, fine. You can have them. But can I use your red bucket and your blue shovel for a minute? I want to make something for the castle." Tom said, "Sure, why not. Here you go. But be quick. I want them back soon." He gave Sam his red bucket and his blue shovel. + +Sam took them and ran away. He did not stop until he reached another sandpit. He said, "Now I have a red bucket and a blue shovel. They are new and pretty. And I don't have to share them with anyone. I can make my own castle here." He smiled and started to play with the sand. + +Tom was left alone with the yellow bucket and the green shovel. He felt sorry and lonely. He said, "I was mean to Sam. I should not have taken his things. They are not cheap and ugly. They are his. And he was my friend. I miss him. I want to play with him again." He looked at the big castle they made together. He said, "This castle is not fun without Sam. I wish he would come back." + +The moral of the story is: Don't be greedy and selfish. Share your things with your friends. Friendship is more important than things. +Tom and Lily are young. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun. + +One day, they see a big truck in the park. The truck is loud and smelly. It makes a lot of noise and smoke. The truck is blocking the path to the swings. Tom and Lily are sad. They want to swing. + +They go to the truck driver. He is sitting in the truck. He is talking on a phone. He looks angry and busy. + +"Excuse me, mister," Tom says. "Can you please move your truck? We want to play on the swings." + +The truck driver looks at Tom and Lily. He shakes his head. He says, "No, I can't. I have to wait here. There is too much traffic on the road. I have to deliver these boxes. Go away, kids. You are bothering me." + +Tom and Lily are confused. They do not understand what traffic is. They do not understand why the truck driver is so mean. They look at each other. They shrug. They do not know what to do. + +They decide to go to the slide instead. They hope the truck will go away soon. They still want to swing. They think the park is for playing, not for trucks. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park with their toy cars and rockets. They liked to make zoom and boom sounds as they raced and crashed their toys. Sometimes they pretended to be spies or astronauts or superheroes. + +One day, they saw a big truck parked near the fence. It had a long and shiny thing on its back. Tim said, "Look, Lily, that's a missile. It can fly very fast and far and make a big boom." + +Lily said, "Wow, can we play with it?" + +Tim said, "No, Lily, that's not a toy. That's a real missile. It can be very dangerous. We should stay away from it." + +But Lily was curious and brave. She said, "I want to see it closer. Maybe I can touch it. Maybe I can make it fly." + +She ran towards the truck and climbed on the fence. Tim followed her and tried to stop her. He said, "Lily, stop, come back. You can't do that. You can get hurt." + +But Lily did not listen. She reached the missile and saw a big red button. She said, "Look, Tim, a button. Maybe this makes it fly." + +She pressed the button and the missile started to make a loud noise. It shook and smoked and lifted off the truck. Tim and Lily were scared and jumped off the fence. They ran back to their toys and hugged them. + +The missile flew up in the sky and disappeared. Tim and Lily looked at each other and said, "Wow, that was a big zoom and boom." + +They heard a voice from the truck. It was a man in a uniform. He said, "Hey, you kids, what did you do? You launched my missile. Do you know how much trouble you are in?" + +Tim and Lily were sorry and afraid. They said, "We're sorry, mister. We didn't know. We thought it was a toy. Please don't be mad at us." + +The man was angry and shocked. He said, "You thought it was a toy? Are you kidding me? That was a military missile. It could have hit something or someone. It could have started a war. You are very lucky it was a gentle missile. It only makes a small boom and a pretty light. It was for a show, not for a fight. But you still did a very bad thing. You should never touch things that are not yours. You should never play with things that are dangerous. You should always listen to your parents and friends. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Lily nodded and said, "We understand, mister. We're very sorry. We won't do it again. We learned our lesson." + +The man said, "Well, I hope so. Now go home and tell your parents what you did. And don't come back here again. This is not a place for kids to play." + +Tim and Lily said, "OK, mister. Goodbye." + +They took their toys and ran home. They told their parents what they did. Their parents were very angry and scared. They scolded them and grounded them. They said, "You did a very foolish and dangerous thing. You could have hurt yourselves or others. You could have caused a lot of trouble. You should never raise a missile. You should only raise your hands and your voices. You should only play with your toys and your friends. You should always be careful and respectful. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Lily nodded and said, "We understand, mom and dad. We're very sorry. We won't do it again. We learned our lesson." + +They hugged their parents and said, "We love you." + +Their parents hugged them back and said, "We love you too. But you still have to stay in your room for a week. No TV, no games, no rockets." + +Tim and Lily said, "OK, mom and dad. Goodnight." + +They went to their room and put their toys away. They said, "We had a big adventure today. But we also had a big mistake. We won't raise a missile again. We will only raise our fun and our love." + +They smiled and kissed each other. They said, "Goodnight, Tim. Goodnight, Lily." + +They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of zooms and booms and lights. But they also dreamed of hugs and kisses and smiles. They were happy and sorry and wiser. They were Tim and Lily. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a pond with many fish and shrimp. The fish and shrimp are wild. They swim fast and hide in the plants. + +"Look, Sam, shrimp!" Lily says. She points to the pond. "They are small and pink. I want to catch one." + +Sam shakes his head. "No, Lily, we can't catch them. They are wild. They don't like people. They will be scared and sad." + +"But I want to see one. I want to know how they feel. Are they soft or hard? Are they wet or dry?" Lily says. She walks to the pond. She tries to reach for a shrimp. + +Sam runs after her. "Lily, stop! You will fall in the pond. The pond is deep and cold. You will be wet and cold. You will cry." + +Lily stops. She looks at Sam. She sees that he is worried. She thinks for a moment. She says, "OK, Sam, I won't catch them. I will just look at them. They are pretty and fast. Maybe they are happy in the pond." + +Sam smiles. He says, "Yes, Lily, they are happy in the pond. They have friends and food and plants. They don't need us. We can just watch them and learn from them." + +Lily and Sam sit by the pond. They watch the fish and shrimp. They are happy too. They have each other. They are friends. +One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide and wanted to try it. Lily went first. She climbed up the steps and sat on the tip of the slide. She smiled and waved at Ben and mom. Then she pushed herself down and went very fast. She laughed and felt happy. + +Ben wanted to do the same. He climbed up the steps and sat on the tip of the slide. He looked down and felt scared. The slide was too high and too steep for him. He wanted to go back, but he could not. He started to cry. He cried very loud and very hard. He did not want to slide. + +Mom heard Ben cry and ran to him. She tried to calm him down and help him slide. But Ben did not listen. He cried more and more. He felt embarrassed. He saw other kids looking at him and laughing. He wished he was brave like Lily. + +Lily saw Ben cry and felt sorry for him. She climbed up the steps again and sat next to him. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Ben. I was scared too, the first time. But it's fun, trust me. You can do it. I will slide with you. We can hold hands." + +Ben looked at Lily and felt better. He wiped his tears and nodded. He held Lily's hand and said, "Okay, Lily. Let's slide together." They pushed themselves down and went very fast. They laughed and felt happy.

They had many toys, but their favorite was a big plane that they could sit in and pretend to fly. Tom liked to be the pilot and Lily liked to be the passenger. + +One day, they were playing with the plane in the backyard, when Lily saw a little bird on the fence. She wanted to look at the bird and talk to it. She said to Tom, "Look, Tom, a little bird! Can we go and say hello?" + +But Tom did not want to stop playing with the plane. He said, "No, Lily, we are flying to a faraway place. We can't talk to the bird. It is not important. You have to stay in the plane and be quiet." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like that Tom ignored her and the bird. She said, "But Tom, the bird is so pretty and friendly. Maybe it wants to play with us. Please, can we go and see it?" + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He ignored her again and said, "No, Lily, I am the pilot and you have to do what I say. The bird is boring and silly. We have to fly faster and higher." + +Lily did not want to play with Tom anymore. She got out of the plane and ran to the bird. She said, "Hello, little bird, I am Lily. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The bird was happy to see Lily. It chirped and flew to her shoulder. It said, "Hello, Lily, I am Blue. Yes, I want to be your friend. You are very kind and gentle." + +Lily and Blue had a lot of fun together. They sang and danced and laughed. They did not care about the plane or Tom. + +Tom saw that Lily and Blue were having fun. He felt lonely and sorry. He realized that he was wrong to ignore Lily and the bird. He wanted to join them and say sorry. He got out of the plane and walked to them. He said, "Lily, Blue, I am sorry. I was mean and selfish. Can I play with you?" + +Lily and Blue looked at Tom. They saw that he was sincere and sorry. They forgave him and said, "Yes, Tom, you can play with us. We are happy to share our fun with you." + +Tom, Lily and Blue became good friends. They played with the plane and the bird.

"They are not ours, but no one will know." + +"OK," Ben said. "But we have to be quick and quiet. Mom and Dad will be angry if they see us." + +They started to remove some books and things from the bookshelf. They put them in their bags and ran to their room. They did not see that the bookshelf was old and weak. It could not hold all the weight. It started to lean and shake. + +CRASH! + +The bookshelf fell down and made a loud noise. It broke some of the books and things. It also hit the wall and made a big hole. Mom and Dad heard the noise and came to see what happened. They saw the mess and the hole and the twins with their bags. + +"What have you done?" Mom asked. "Why did you take these things from the bookshelf? They are not yours. They belong to Grandma. She gave them to us before she died. They are very special and old. You have ruined them. You have also damaged the wall. We are very poor. We cannot afford to fix it. You are very naughty and selfish. We are very disappointed and sad." + +Mom and Dad were very angry and sad. They took the bags from the twins and put the things back on the bookshelf.
