We can imagine what it would be like if we did though." + +So Jack and Jill imagined being rich. Suddenly, they both began to shrink and shrink.

As she got closer, she noticed that there was a little door on the side of the barrel. She hopped inside and found a cozy little room with a soft bed and a table with carrots on it. + +Flopsy was so happy to have found this special barrel.

It was the perfect place for her to be. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved playing outside with his friends. One day, while they were playing tag, Timmy fell and got a boo-boo on his knee. His mom came outside and wiped his boo-boo with a soft cloth. Timmy felt better. + +Later that day, Timmy and his mom went to the store. They saw a big tire that was spoiled and had a hole in it. Timmy's mom said they needed a new tire for their car. Timmy helped his mom pick out a new tire and they went home. + +When they got home, Timmy's mom showed him how to change the tire.

Lily called out. + +Mommy came to help, but she couldn't open the door either. They were both stuck inside the room! Lily started to cry, but mommy tried to calm her down. "Don't worry, we'll figure something out," mommy said. + +But they never did. They were stuck in the room forever and ever.

They learned that sometimes, even with the best tools, things can still go wrong. +Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily who loved animals. One day, she went to the park to feed the ducks.

The boy replied, "It's a big school where you can learn lots of things." Lily thought it sounded fun and said, "Yes, I want to go to university!" + +As they walked away, the sun began to set and the sky turned orange.

"Lily, you need to behave and be careful when you play inside," her mom said. + +Lily felt bad for being careless and hurting the wall. "I'm sorry Mommy," she said.

The end. +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy. Timmy had a huge birthday party coming up. He was very excited to celebrate with his friends and family. + +Timmy's mom was making a big cake for the party. She accidentally dropped the cake on the floor and it broke into pieces.

They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Ben said, showing his creation to his sister. "It is very tall and strong." + +"That is nice, Ben, but I made a better house," Lily said, pointing to her own blocks. "It has a roof and a door and a window. And it is very pretty." + +They were having fun, but then they heard a loud noise outside. They ran to the window and saw that the weather was very bad. The sky was dark and angry, and the wind was blowing hard. They saw rain and thunder and lightning. They felt scared. + +"Mommy, Daddy, where are you?" they cried, looking for their parents. + +"Don't worry, kids, we are here," Mommy said, coming from the kitchen. "We just finished making some cookies for you. Come, let's go to the couch and eat them. We can read a book or watch a movie until the weather gets better." + +"Okay, Mommy," Lily and Ben said, following her to the couch. They took some cookies and snuggled with Mommy and Daddy. They felt safe and warm. + +"Maybe the weather will be nice tomorrow," Lily said, hoping to play outside again. + +"Maybe, Lily, maybe," Daddy said, smiling. "But for now, let's enjoy our cookies and our family. We don't mind the ugly weather, because we have each other." +Anna and Ben like to pretend a lot. They pretend to be different things every day. Sometimes they pretend to be animals, or pirates, or superheroes. They have a lot of fun with their pretend games. + +One day, they pretend to be lawyers. They wear their parents' clothes and glasses and use big books and papers. They pretend to help people with their problems and make good laws. They talk in big words and act very serious. + +But then, their little brother, Sam, comes in. He wants to play with them, but he does not understand their pretend game. He grabs their books and papers and throws them around. He makes loud noises and laughs. He does not follow their pretend laws. + +Anna and Ben get very angry. They tell Sam to go away and leave them alone. They say he is ruining their pretend game. They say he is not gifted like them. They say he is a bad lawyer. + +Sam feels very sad. He does not want to make his siblings angry. He does not want to be a bad lawyer. He just wants to play with them and have fun. He does not know what gifted means. He runs away and cries. +Tom and Lily were at the park with their mom. They saw a vendor with a big cart. The vendor had many things in the cart: balloons, toys, candy, and books. Tom and Lily wanted to see what was in the cart. + +"Can we go to the vendor, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, but be polite and don't touch anything without asking," mom said. + +Tom and Lily ran to the vendor. They said hello and looked at the cart. They saw a big box with a ribbon on it. They wondered what was in the box. + +"What is in the box?" Lily asked the vendor. + +The vendor smiled and said, "It's a surprise. Do you want to open it?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were very curious. They pulled the ribbon and opened the box. Inside the box, they saw a big teddy bear. The teddy bear was soft and brown.

It's a gift." + +Tom and Lily were very happy. They thanked the vendor and hugged the teddy bear. They showed the teddy bear to their mom. Mom was happy too. She said, "What a nice vendor. And what a nosy pair of kids. You always want to open everything. But I'm glad you got a teddy bear. It's very sweet." + +Tom and Lily smiled and said, "We love the teddy bear. And we love you, mom." They kissed mom and the vendor. Then they played with the teddy bear at the park. They had a lot of fun. +Tim and Sue were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big hole in the fence. They wanted to see what was behind it. + +"Let's go in," Tim said. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +"No, Tim, we can't," Sue said. "Mom said we should not go to places we don't know. It could be dangerous." + +Tim did not listen to Sue. He was foolish. He crawled through the hole. Sue followed him. She did not want to leave him alone. + +They found a dark and dirty place. There were piles of trash and broken things. There were also noises. Scary noises. + +"Tim, I don't like this place," Sue said. "Let's go back." + +But Tim did not want to go back. He wanted to explore. He saw a shiny thing in the trash. He ran to get it. + +"Tim, wait!" Sue shouted. + +But it was too late. A big and ugly monster jumped out of the trash. It had sharp teeth and claws. It roared at Tim. It wanted to eat him. + +Tim was scared. He screamed. He dropped the shiny thing. He tried to run away. + +But the monster was faster. It caught Tim. It bit him. It hurt him. Tim suffered. + +Sue saw what happened. She was terrified. She cried. She wanted to help Tim. But she could not. The monster was too strong. + +She ran to the hole. She wanted to get out. She wanted to get help. + +But the hole was closed. Someone had fixed the fence. Sue was trapped. + +She heard the monster coming. It had finished with Tim. It wanted more. + +Sue screamed. But no one heard her. No one came. + +The monster reached her. It grabbed her. It bit her. It hurt her. Sue suffered. + +The end. +Sara was a good girl who liked to learn new things. She always listened to her mom and dad, who taught her many wisdoms. They told her how to be kind, brave, and smart. They also told her what not to do, like lying, stealing, or hurting others. + +One day, Sara went to the park with her friend Lily. They played on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. They had a lot of fun. But then, Sara saw a blue bike near a tree. It looked shiny and fast. Sara wanted to ride it. She forgot what her mom and dad said about not taking things that are not hers. + +She ran to the bike and got on it. She started to pedal away. Lily saw her and shouted, "Sara, stop! That's not your bike! That's wrong!" But Sara did not listen. She thought she could ride the bike for a little while and then bring it back. She did not think anyone would notice. + +But she was wrong. The bike belonged to a boy named Ben, who was playing with his dog. He saw Sara take his bike and he was very angry. He ran after her and caught up with her. He grabbed the bike and yelled, "Hey, that's my bike! Give it back! You're a thief!" + +Sara was scared and ashamed. She got off the bike and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just wanted to try it. I didn't mean to steal it." But Ben did not believe her. He said, "You're a liar, too. You should be punished. I'm going to tell your mom and dad what you did." + +He took his bike and his dog and left. Sara started to cry. She knew she did a bad thing. She wished she had listened to her mom and dad. She wished she had followed their wisdoms. She learned a hard lesson that day. She hoped Ben would forgive her. She hoped her mom and dad would still love her. She hoped she could be a good girl again. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see many plants and flowers. Some plants are herbs. Herbs smell good and taste good. + +"Look, this is mint!" Lily says. She picks a leaf and rubs it. She gives it to Ben. "Smell it!" + +Ben smells the leaf. He likes it. He puts it in his mouth. He makes a face. "It is spicy!" he says. + +Lily laughs. She says, "Mint is good for tea. My mom makes mint tea. Do you want to try?" + +Ben nods. He likes tea. They go to the kitchen. Lily's mom is there. She has a modern kettle. It is shiny and makes a sound when the water is hot. + +"Hi, kids. Do you want some tea?" Lily's mom asks. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben say. + +Lily's mom takes some mint leaves and puts them in a pot. She pours hot water over them. She makes mint tea. She gives them cups and spoons. She says, "Be careful, it is hot. Enjoy!" + +Lily and Ben sip the tea. They like it. It is sweet and fresh. They say, "Thank you!" + +They are happy. They have mint tea and a good friend. They smile. +It was a cold day and Lily and Sam wanted to play outside. They put on their coats, hats, scarves and gloves and ran to the park. They saw a big hill covered with snow and decided to slide down on their sleds. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily shouted and pushed her sled. Sam followed her and they both zoomed down the hill, laughing and screaming. They felt the wind on their faces and the snow under their sleds. They had so much fun! + +They did it again and again, until they were tired and cold. They decided to go back home and have some cocoa. They walked to their house, holding their sleds and their hands. They heard their mom calling them from the door. + +"Hi, kids! You look like you had a successful day at the park! Come in and warm up, I have some cocoa for you!" she said. + +"Yay, cocoa!" Lily and Sam said and ran inside. They took off their wet clothes and put on their pajamas.

They felt cozy and happy. + +They thanked their mom for the cocoa and gave her a hug. They said good night and went to their beds. They closed their eyes and dreamed of sliding down the hill again. They smiled in their sleep. +Sara was a generous daughter. She liked to share her toys and snacks with her friends. One day, she brought her new scissors to school. She wanted to cut some paper and make shapes. + +But Tom, a boy in her class, was not generous. He wanted to cut Sara's hair. He thought it was too long and curly. He sneaked behind her and grabbed her scissors. Sara felt a tug on her head and cried out. + +"Stop! That hurts! Give me back my scissors!" she shouted. + +Tom laughed and ran away with the scissors. He cut a big chunk of Sara's hair and threw it on the floor. Sara was very sad and angry. She ran after Tom and tried to get her scissors back. + +"Teacher, teacher, help!" she called. + +The teacher heard Sara and saw what Tom had done. She was very upset and scolded Tom. She took the scissors from him and sent him to the corner. She hugged Sara and comforted her. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. Tom was very naughty and mean. He should not have cut your hair. You are a generous daughter and a good friend. Your hair will grow back soon. Do you want to cut some paper with me?" she asked. + +Sara nodded and smiled. She was glad the teacher was nice and helped her. She cut some paper with the teacher and made a heart. She gave it to the teacher and said, "Thank you, teacher. You are generous too." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with cubes. They have many cubes of different colors. They can make towers and houses and cars with the cubes. + +One day, they have a problem. They both want the same cube. It is a big cube and it is blue. It is Lily's favorite cube.

They are angry and loud. They do not share. + +Mom hears them. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees them fighting for the cube. She is not happy. + +"Stop!" Mom says. "Why are you fighting?" + +"Lily took my cube!" Ben says. + +"Ben took my cube!" Lily says. + +Mom looks at the cube. She smells the cube. It is a smelly cube. It has dirt and juice and crayon on it. It is not a nice cube. + +"Yuck!" Mom says. "This cube is smelly. You do not want this cube. You have many other cubes that are clean and pretty. Why don't you play with them?" + +Lily and Ben look at the cube. They smell the cube. They do not like the smelly cube. They drop the cube. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. + +They find other cubes that are not smelly. They share and play nicely. They are happy and quiet. + +Mom smiles. She is glad they are friends again. She throws away the smelly cube. She does not want it either. +Lily was a little girl who loved to sing. She sang at home, at school, and with her friends. She wanted to share her songs with more people, so she asked her mom if she could perform at the market. + +"Sure, honey, but you have to be brave and confident," her mom said. "Some people might not listen or like your songs, but you have to keep singing anyway." + +Lily nodded and packed her bag with a microphone, a speaker, and some water. She and her mom went to the market, where there were many people buying and selling things. Lily found a spot near a fountain and set up her equipment. She took a deep breath and started to sing. + +She sang a song about a rainbow, a song about a butterfly, and a song about a star. Some people stopped and smiled, some people clapped, and some people gave her coins. Lily felt happy and proud. She sang louder and louder. + +But then, a big dog came running towards her. It barked and growled, and knocked over her speaker. Lily was frightened and stopped singing. She dropped her microphone and ran to her mom, who hugged her and comforted her. + +"It's okay, sweetie, it's just a dog. He didn't mean to scare you. He was probably just curious," her mom said. + +Lily looked at the dog, who was wagging his tail and licking his owner's hand. He didn't look so scary anymore. He looked friendly and playful. + +"Can I pet him?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but ask his owner first," her mom said. + +Lily walked up to the dog and his owner, who apologized for the trouble. She asked if she could pet the dog, and the owner said yes. Lily stroked the dog's fur and scratched his ears. The dog licked her face and wagged his tail. Lily giggled and smiled. + +"See, he's a nice dog. He likes you," the owner said. + +"Thank you for letting me pet him. I'm sorry I was scared of him," Lily said. + +"That's alright. Everyone gets scared sometimes. But you were brave to come back and make friends with him," the owner said. + +Lily felt happy and proud again. She went back to her spot and picked up her microphone. She decided to sing one more song, a song about a dog. She sang with joy and confidence, and the dog barked along.

They take turns to make the train go. + +Ben says, "Do you like my train? Is it not cool?" Lily says, "I like your train. It is cool. But I have an opinion. Can I tell you?" Ben says, "Yes, you can tell me. What is your opinion?" + +Lily says, "Your train is cool, but it is not icy. I like icy things. They are shiny and cold and pretty. Like snowflakes and icicles and frost. Can we make your train icy?" Ben says, "How can we make my train icy? It is not snowing today." + +Lily says, "We can use water and the freezer. We can spray water on your train and put it in the freezer. Then it will be icy and shiny and cold and pretty. Do you want to try?" Ben says, "Yes, I want to try. That sounds fun. Let's make my train icy." + +They go to the kitchen and get a spray bottle and water. They spray water on the train and put it in the freezer. They wait for a while. Then they take out the train.

They share their sandwiches and fruits with Mom and Dad. They eat their cookies and drink their juice. They are very full and tired. + +Mom and Dad say it is time for a nap. Lily and Ben do not want to nap. They want to play more. They say, "No nap, no nap!" + +Mom and Dad smile. They have a funny idea. They say, "How about a teddy bear nap? You can cuddle with your teddy bears and close your eyes for a little while. Maybe your teddy bears are sleepy too." + +Lily and Ben think this is a funny idea. They like their teddy bears.

Her mom hugged her and said, "Mira, you are very impressive, but you should not play with the staff. It is not a toy. It is a tool. The lions do not like it. They might hurt you." + +Mira said, "I am sorry, mom. I wanted to help you and show the people how good I am. But I was wrong. The staff is not for me. It is for you." + +Her mom said, "I love you, Mira. You are very good. But you are still a little girl. You need to learn more before you can work with the lions. For now, you can help me by watching and listening. And maybe one day, you can be a lion tamer too." + +Mira said, "Okay, mom. I will watch and listen. And I will wait until I am bigger. Then I will be a lion tamer like you." + +Her mom said, "That's my girl." She kissed Mira and gave her the staff. She said, "Now, can you bring me the staff? I need it to show the lions what to do." + +Mira said, "Yes, mom. I can bring you the staff." She handed the staff to her mom and smiled. She watched her mom teach the lions tricks. She clapped and cheered. She was happy and proud. She was a big girl who liked to help her mom at the zoo. +Anna and Ben like to play with paints. They have many colors in small pots. They use brushes to make pictures on paper. Sometimes they mix the colors to make new ones. They think it is fun. + +One day, they find a big pot of paint in the garage. It is black and thick. They wonder what it is for. They decide to try it. They take some brushes and paper and go to the backyard. They dip the brushes in the pot and start to paint. + +But the paint is not like the other paints. It is sticky and smelly. It does not make nice pictures. It makes a mess. It gets on their hands and clothes and faces. They try to wipe it off, but it does not come off. They start to cry. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the paint and gets very angry. She says it is not paint, it is tar. It is for fixing the roof. She says they are in big trouble. She takes them to the bathroom and tries to wash them. But the tar is hard to remove. It hurts their skin. It pulls their hair. It even gets on their necks. + +Mom says they have to go to the doctor. She says the doctor will have to cut their hair and maybe give them shots. She says they will not be able to play with paints for a long time. She says they have to be serious and learn their lesson. Anna and Ben are very scared and sorry. They wish they had not played with the tar. They wish they had listened to Mom. They have a bad day. +Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big hill. They wanted to climb it. + +"Let's go up the hill," Tom said. "It will be fun." + +"OK," Sue said. "But it looks difficult. We have to be careful." + +They set a task to reach the top of the hill. They started to walk. The hill was steep and rocky. They had to hold on to the grass and the stones. They were tired and thirsty. + +"Are we there yet?" Sue asked. + +"Not yet," Tom said. "But we are close. Come on, we can do it." + +They kept walking. They did not see the snake. The snake was hiding under a rock. It was angry and hungry. It saw Tom and Sue. It hissed and bit Tom on the leg. + +"Ow!" Tom cried. "Something bit me!" + +Sue looked and saw the snake. She was scared. She ran away. She did not help Tom. + +Tom was alone. He was hurt and sad. He could not walk. He could not climb the hill. He could not go back to the park. He could only wait and hope for help. + +The moral of the story is: Be careful when you explore new places. Do not leave your friends behind when they need you. Friendship is more important than a difficult task. +Lily loved to visit her grandma's garden. She liked to smell the flowers and watch the bees and butterflies. Her grandma had many kinds of flowers, but Lily's favorite was the rose. She thought the rose was very pretty and graceful, with its red petals and green stem. + +One day, Lily asked her grandma, "Why do you like roses so much, grandma?" + +Grandma smiled and said, "Roses remind me of your grandpa, Lily. He gave me a rose on our first date, and he always brought me roses on special days. He loved roses, too." + +Lily nodded and said, "I wish I could meet grandpa. Where is he, grandma?" + +Grandma sighed and said, "Grandpa is in heaven, Lily. He was very sick and he had to go away. But he is always in my heart, and I talk to him every day." + +Lily hugged her grandma and said, "I'm sorry, grandma. I love you very much. Can I give you a rose, too?" + +Grandma smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. You are very sweet and kind. A rose from you would make me very happy." + +Lily ran to the garden and picked a rose. She was careful not to prick her fingers on the thorns. She brought the rose to her grandma and said, "Here, grandma. This is for you. From me and grandpa." + +Grandma took the rose and kissed Lily on the cheek. She said, "Thank you, Lily. This is the most beautiful rose I ever saw. You and grandpa are the most precious gifts in my life." +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They found a big skull under a bush. It was white and hard and had many holes. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. "It is a skull. Maybe it was a dinosaur or a dragon." + +Lily touched the skull. It was cold and smooth. She did not like it. "It is scary," she said. "Let us cook it and make it go away." + +Tom nodded. He liked to cook. He ran to the house and brought a big pot and some water. He put the skull in the pot and filled it with water. He put the pot on the fire. + +Lily watched the pot. She saw bubbles and steam. She smelled something bad. She felt sick. "Tom, this is not cooking. This is burning. The skull is making a bad smell. Stop it, stop it!" + +Tom heard Lily. He looked at the pot. He saw smoke and black bits. He smelled something bad too. He felt sorry. He took the pot off the fire. He poured the water and the skull on the ground. + +Lily and Tom looked at the skull. It was not white and hard anymore. It was black and soft and falling apart. + +"Oops," Tom said. "We did not cook it. We ruined it. I am sorry, Lily." + +Lily hugged Tom. She was not scared anymore. She was sad. "It is okay, Tom. We did not know. Maybe the skull was happy to be a skull. Maybe we should not cook things that are not food." + +Tom hugged Lily back. He agreed. He learned a lesson. He said, "You are right, Lily. We should not cook things that are not food. We should cook things that are yummy and good. Like cookies or soup or cake." + +Lily smiled. She liked cookies and soup and cake. She said, "Yes, let us cook those things. And let us bury the skull and say sorry to it. Maybe it will forgive us." + +Tom smiled too. He liked Lily. He said, "Okay, let us do that. And let us play something else. Something fun and nice. Like hide and seek or tag or ball." + +Lily and Tom buried the skull and said sorry to it. Then they cooked some cookies and ate them. Then they played some games and had fun. They forgot about the skull and the bad smell. They were happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to Mia's house for breakfast. Mia's mom makes toast for them. She puts butter and jam on the toast. + +"Can I have some toast, please?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, here you go," Mia's mom says. She gives Tom a plate with toast. + +"Thank you," Tom says. He takes a bite of the toast. He makes a funny face. "This toast is funny," he says. + +"What do you mean?" Mia asks. She looks at her toast. It looks normal to her. + +"It tastes funny," Tom says. He shows Mia his tongue. It is purple. + +Mia laughs. She sees the jam on Tom's toast. It is grape jam. "That's not funny, that's grape," she says. "Do you like grape?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He takes another bite of the toast. He smiles. "I do like grape," he says. "It is sweet and yummy." + +Mia is happy. She likes grape too. She shares her toast with Tom. They eat all the toast. They say thank you to Mia's mom. They go to play with Mia's toys. They have a lot of fun. They are good friends. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog was black and white and had a long tail. It looked attractive to Lily and Tom. They wanted to pet the dog. + +"Hello, dog," Lily said. "Can we be your friends?" + +The dog wagged its tail and licked Lily's face. Lily giggled. Tom reached out his hand to touch the dog's fur. But the dog growled and snapped at Tom. Tom pulled back his hand and cried. + +"Bad dog!" Lily shouted. "Why did you hurt Tom?" + +The dog barked and ran away. Lily and Tom were scared. They heard a whistle and saw a man running after the dog. The man was the dog's owner. He was angry and sorry. + +"I'm so sorry, kids," the man said. "My dog is not friendly. He doesn't like strangers. You should stay away from him. He can be dangerous." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They learned a lesson. They should not touch dogs they don't know. They should stay with their parents or teachers. They hugged each other and went home. They hoped Tom's hand would heal soon. They decided to play with their own toys next time. They liked silence better than barking. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to swim in the pool. One day, they go to the pool with their moms. They put on their swim suits and jump in the water. + +"Look at me, Tim!" Sam says. "I can swim fast like a fish!" + +"I can swim faster, Sam!" Tim says. "I can swim like a shark!" + +They swim and splash and have fun. But then, they hear a loud alarm. It is a red light and a big sound. It means there is a problem. + +"Get out of the pool, kids!" their moms say. "There is a fire in the building!" + +Tim and Sam are scared. They swim to the edge of the pool and climb out. They wrap towels around them and follow their moms. They see smoke and fire trucks outside. + +"What happened, mom?" Tim asks. + +"Someone left a stove on in the kitchen," his mom says. "It started a fire. But don't worry, the firemen are here. They will put out the fire." + +"Are we safe, mom?" Sam asks. + +"Yes, we are safe, Sam," his mom says. "We are lucky we heard the alarm. It warned us to get out." + +Tim and Sam hug their moms. They are glad they are safe. They are also glad they have each other as friends. They decide to swim another day, when there is no fire. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. They liked to make pretend houses and cars with the blocks and the sticks. But Lila saw something shiny on the ground. She picked it up and looked at it. + +"Look, Ben, I found a pretty thing!" she said, holding a piece of glass. + +Ben came closer and saw the glass. He shook his head. + +"No, Lila, that is not a pretty thing. That is a sharp thing. It can hurt you. Put it down, please," he said. + +Lila did not listen. She wanted to keep the glass. She touched it with her finger and felt a pain. + +"Ow!" she cried, dropping the glass. "It cut me! It cut me!" + +Ben ran to her and saw the blood on her finger. He was scared. + +"Come on, Lila, we have to go to Mom. She can help you. She can make it better," he said, taking her hand. + +They ran to the house, leaving the glass on the land. The glass was broken. It was not a pretty thing. It was a bad thing. Lila and Ben learned to be careful with sharp things. +Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They have a big box of wood. They want to make a house for their toys. + +"Let's make a door here," Tom says. He puts a piece of wood on the ground. + +"No, no, no," Lily says. She is bossy. "The door should be here." She takes the wood from Tom and puts it in another place. + +Tom is sad. He does not like when Lily is bossy. He wants to play nicely. + +"Please, Lily, can we share the wood?" he asks. "We can make the house together." + +Lily thinks for a moment. She sees that Tom is sad. She does not want to make him sad. She wants to be a good friend. + +"Okay, Tom, we can share the wood," she says. "I'm sorry I was bossy. Please, can you help me make the door here?" + +Tom smiles. He is happy. He helps Lily make the door. They work together and make a nice house for their toys. They have fun. +Sara was a little girl who liked to twist and dance. She twisted her arms, her legs, her hair, and even her toes. She felt happy and free when she twisted, like a spirit in the air. + +One night, Sara had a dream. She dreamed that she was a twisty spirit, flying and dancing in the sky. She saw stars and moons and clouds, and they all twisted with her. She felt so much joy and wonder that she wanted to twist forever. + +But then, she heard a voice. It was her mommy, calling her name. "Sara, Sara, wake up. It's time for breakfast." Sara opened her eyes and saw her mommy smiling at her. She felt sleepy and warm, and she wanted to stay in bed. + +"Mommy, I had a dream," Sara said. "I was a twisty spirit, and I danced with the sky." + +"That sounds like a lovely dream, Sara," her mommy said. "But now you have to get up and eat. You need energy to twist and dance today." + +Sara nodded and hugged her mommy. She got out of bed and put on her clothes. She still felt a little bit like a twisty spirit, and she smiled. She was ready to twist and dance again. +Lily liked to help her mom clean the house. She was eager to do a good job. She had a small broom and a dustpan. She swept the floor and picked up the dirt. + +One day, she saw a bean on the floor. It was green and shiny. She wondered where it came from. She picked it up and put it in her pocket. She wanted to show it to her mom later. + +She finished sweeping and went to the kitchen. She saw her mom cooking soup. She smelled something good. She asked her mom what it was. + +"It's bean soup, Lily. Do you want to try some?" her mom said. + +Lily nodded. She liked soup. She took a spoon and tasted it. It was warm and yummy. She smiled. + +"Mom, I have something to show you," she said. She reached into her pocket and took out the bean. She held it in her hand. + +"Look, I found this on the floor. It's a bean too. Can I put it in the soup?" she asked. + +Her mom looked at the bean and laughed. She hugged Lily and kissed her cheek. + +"That's very sweet of you, Lily, but this bean is not for soup. It's a magic bean. It can grow into a big plant. Do you want to plant it in the garden and see what happens?" she asked. + +Lily's eyes widened. She liked magic. She nodded eagerly. She wanted to see the big plant. + +"Okay, let's go to the garden then. Maybe we'll find a giant or a castle or a goose that lays golden eggs," her mom said. + +Lily giggled. She followed her mom to the garden. She was happy. She had helped her mom clean the house and she had found a magic bean. She wondered what would happen next. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They have fun. + +One day, Sara and Ben are playing with blocks in the living room.

They put it on top of Sara's tower. They make the tower taller. They are happy. They are friends. They play with blocks. They have fun. +Lily and Max are playing with their dog, Spot. Spot is big and furry and likes to run and jump. Lily and Max have a red collar for Spot, with a bell on it. They want to put the collar on Spot, but Spot does not like it. He runs away from them, barking and wagging his tail. + +"Come here, Spot!" Lily calls. "We have a surprise for you!" + +"Spot, Spot, Spot!" Max echoes. He tries to catch Spot, but he is too fast. + +Spot runs around the yard, dodging the trees and the flowers. He thinks it is a fun game. He does not see the puddle of water near the gate. He runs into it and splashes. He tries to keep running, but he slips on the wet grass. He falls down and rolls over. + +"Oops!" Lily says. "Spot is clumsy!" + +Max laughs. He runs to Spot and hugs him. "Are you okay, Spot?" he asks. + +Spot licks Max's face. He is okay. He is happy. He does not mind the water or the grass. He just wants to play. + +Lily comes with the collar. She puts it around Spot's neck. Spot feels the bell jingle. He shakes his head. He does not like the bell.

They love him. Spot loves them too. He decides to keep the collar. He thinks it is not so bad. He barks and wags his tail.

She named her doll Anna and pretended that Anna was her best friend. + +One day, Lily's mom told her that she had to do some work on her computer. She said, "Lily, I need to use my brain for this work. Please do not disturb me for a while. You can play with Anna in your room, okay?" + +Lily nodded and took Anna to her room. She had fun dressing up Anna and making her say funny things. But after some time, she got bored. She wanted to see what her mom was doing. She thought, "Maybe mom needs some help. Maybe she is lonely. Maybe she wants to play with me and Anna." + +She decided to go to her mom's office and knock on the door. She said, "Mom, can I come in? I want to show you something." + +Her mom was very busy and did not hear her. She was typing on her keyboard and looking at her screen. She was nervous because she had a deadline to meet. She did not notice that Lily opened the door and came in. + +Lily saw her mom's computer and was curious. She said, "Mom, what is this? Can I touch it?" + +She reached for the mouse and moved it around. She clicked on some buttons and made some noises. She did not know that she was disturbing her mom's work. + +Her mom heard the noises and looked up. She saw Lily playing with her computer and got angry. She said, "Lily, what are you doing? You are disturbing me! You are ruining my work! Go away!" + +She grabbed the mouse from Lily and tried to fix the mess. She did not see that Lily was crying. She did not see that Anna fell on the floor. + +Lily felt sad and scared. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I just wanted to help you. I just wanted to play with you.

I love you too. I did not mean to yell at you. I was just nervous and stressed. Come here, let me hug you." + +She went to Lily's room and apologized. She hugged Lily and Anna and kissed them. She said, "Lily, you are a good girl. You are a smart girl. You have a big brain. But sometimes, you need to listen to me and respect my space. Sometimes, I need to work and focus. Sometimes, I need to be alone. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will not disturb you when you work. I will play with Anna in my room. But can you play with me and Anna later?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, my dear. I will play with you and Anna later. I promise. Now, let me finish my work and then we can have some fun. Okay?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Okay, mom. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you too." + +The moral of the story is: We should not disturb others when they are busy or need to concentrate.

He loves his sweater. He nods and says, "OK, OK, OK!" + +His mom smiles and says, "Good boy, Tommy. Let's go to the laundry room and wash your sweater together. It will be fun.

The end. +Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw a big statue of a man on a horse. The statue was very high and shiny. Ben and Lily wanted to touch it, but Mom said no. + +"Too far, too hard, too dirty," Mom said. "Look with your eyes, not with your hands." + +Ben and Lily were frustrated. They did not like to look. They liked to touch and play. They saw some birds on the grass. They ran to the birds and tried to catch them. But the birds flew away. + +"Too fast, too scared, too smart," Mom said. "Leave the birds alone. They are not toys." + +Ben and Lily were more frustrated. They did not like to leave. They liked to catch and hold. They saw some people on a stage. They were singing and dancing. They wore colorful clothes and hats. Ben and Lily liked the music and the colors. They clapped their hands and cheered. + +"Good job, good show, good fun," Mom said. "You can applaud the people. They like it when you do." + +Ben and Lily were happy. They liked to applaud. They liked to make noise and smile. They watched the show until it was over.

"I want to ride it!" + +He ran to the motorcycle and tried to climb on it. But it was too high and heavy for him. He fell down and hurt his knee. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. "It's not fair!" + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She was thoughtful and kind. She wanted to make him feel better. + +"Shh, it's okay, Tom," she said. "The motorcycle is not for us. It belongs to someone else. Maybe they will let us see it later." + +She helped him stand up and wiped his tears. She saw a band-aid in her pocket and put it on his knee. + +"There, all better," she said. "Let's go play with our toys." + +They walked back to their yard and found their toy cars and bikes. They pretended to be drivers and riders and had fun. + +They did not see the man who came out of the house and saw his motorcycle. He was angry and confused. He saw the band-aid on the seat and the scratch on the side. + +"Who did this?" he shouted. "Who slapped my motorcycle?" +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a watch. Ben liked his watch very much. It was shiny and had numbers and hands. He could tell the time with it. + +"Look, Lily, it is three o'clock," Ben said, showing his watch to his sister. "Do you know what that means?" + +Lily shook her head. She did not care about the time. She cared about her doll. She was brushing her doll's hair and dressing her in a pretty dress. + +"It means it is snack time!" Ben said, jumping up. "Let's go to the kitchen and see what Mom has for us." + +Ben ran to the kitchen, leaving his watch on the floor. Lily saw the watch and picked it up. She was curious about it. She pressed the buttons and turned the knob. She heard a beep and a click. She smiled. + +"Wow, this is fun," she said to herself. "I wonder what else it can do." + +She pressed and turned some more. She did not notice that she was breaking the watch. She did not notice that Ben came back with a plate of cookies. + +"Hey, Lily, what are you doing with my watch?" Ben asked, seeing his sister holding his watch. He saw that the watch was not working. The numbers and hands were gone. The screen was blank. He felt a terrible pain in his chest. He loved his watch. It was a gift from his dad. He snatched the watch from Lily and looked at it. He hoped it was not broken. He hoped it could be fixed. + +But it was too late. The watch was broken. Ben could not tell the time anymore. He could not hear the beep and the click anymore. He could not see the shiny screen anymore. He started to weep. He wept very loud. He wept very hard. + +Lily did not understand why Ben was weeping. She did not know she had broken his watch. She did not know it was important to him. She thought it was just a toy. She felt sorry for him. She wanted to make him happy. + +"Ben, don't weep," she said, putting her arm around him. "It is just a watch. I have a doll. You can play with her. She is very nice. She has hair and a dress. She can talk to you. She can be your friend." + +But Ben did not want to play with the doll. He wanted his watch. He pushed Lily away. He did not want to talk to her. He did not want to be her friend. He was very angry with her. He was very sad. + +"Go away, Lily," he said, holding his watch to his chest. "You are a terrible sister. You broke my watch. You ruined my snack time. You made me weep. I don't like you. I don't want to play with you. Leave me alone." + +Lily felt a terrible pain in her chest. She loved her brother. She did not mean to break his watch. She did not mean to ruin his snack time. She did not mean to make him weep. She wanted to play with him. She wanted to be his friend. + +She started to weep. She wept very loud. She wept very hard. +Anna and Ben wanted to bake a cake for their mom. They found a big bowl, some eggs, some flour, some sugar, and some butter in the kitchen. They put everything in the bowl and mixed it with a spoon. They poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. + +"Mom will be so happy when she sees our cake!" Anna said. + +"Yes, she will!" Ben said. "Let's go swim in the pool while we wait for the cake to bake." + +They put on their swimsuits and ran to the pool. They jumped in and splashed each other. They had a lot of fun. + +But they forgot to set a timer for the cake. The cake baked for too long and started to burn. Smoke came out of the oven and filled the kitchen. The smoke alarm went off and made a loud noise. + +Anna and Ben heard the noise and got out of the pool. They ran to the kitchen and saw the smoke. They were frightened. + +"Mom! Mom!" they shouted. + +Mom came running from the living room. She saw the smoke and the cake. She turned off the oven and opened the windows. She took the cake out of the pan and threw it in the trash. + +"Anna! Ben! What did you do?" she asked. + +"We wanted to bake a cake for you, Mom," Anna said. + +"We're sorry, Mom," Ben said. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I appreciate your thought, but you should never use the oven without my permission. It's very dangerous. You could have started a fire or hurt yourselves." + +"We're sorry, Mom," Anna and Ben said again. + +Mom smiled and said, "It's okay. I love you anyway. How about we make a new cake together? And this time, we'll use a timer." + +Anna and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please!" + +They helped Mom clean the kitchen and then they made a new cake. They decorated it with frosting and sprinkles. They ate some of the cake and gave some to Dad. They all enjoyed the cake and said it was delicious. + +Mom said, "Thank you, Anna and Ben, for your sweet surprise. You're the best kids ever." + +Anna and Ben hugged Mom and said, "We love you, Mom." +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pipe near the pond. The pipe is long and dark. It looks like a tunnel. + +"Let's go inside the pipe!" Tim says. He runs to the pipe and looks in. He sees nothing but black. + +"No, Tim, don't go!" Sam says. He is scared of the pipe. He thinks there might be bugs or rats or monsters in the pipe. He does not want to lose his friend. + +"Come on, Sam, it will be fun!" Tim says. He offers his hand to Sam. He wants Sam to join him in the pipe. He thinks the pipe is safe and cool. + +Sam shakes his head. He does not want to go in the pipe. He does not think the pipe is safe or cool. He thinks the pipe is scary and dirty. + +"Please, Sam, don't be a baby!" Tim says. He tries to pull Sam to the pipe. He does not understand why Sam is scared. + +"Stop, Tim, let me go!" Sam says. He tries to push Tim away. He does not like Tim being mean to him. + +They start to fight. They tug and push and shout. They forget about the pipe and the pond and the park. They only care about winning. + +Then they hear a loud splash. They stop fighting and look. They see a big frog jumping out of the pipe. The frog is green and wet and slimy. It croaks and hops and lands on Tim's head. + +Tim screams and falls to the ground. He drops his hand and lets go of Sam. He tries to get the frog off his head. He is scared of the frog. + +Sam laughs and runs to Tim. He helps Tim get the frog off his head. He is not scared of the frog. He thinks the frog is funny and cute. + +"Are you okay, Tim?" Sam asks. He offers his hand to Tim. He wants Tim to get up and be his friend again. + +"I'm okay, Sam," Tim says. He takes Sam's hand and gets up. He is sorry for being mean to Sam. He does not want to go in the pipe anymore. + +"Let's go play somewhere else," Sam says. He smiles at Tim. He is happy that Tim is okay and sorry. + +"Okay, Sam," Tim says. He smiles back at Sam. He is happy that Sam is his friend and helps him. + +They leave the pipe and the frog and the pond. They go to the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They play and laugh and have fun. They are friends. +Lia and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. They are intelligent. They know many things. They go to the same school. + +One day, Ben has to move to another land. His dad has a new job there. Ben is sad. He does not want to leave Lia and his other friends. He packs his things in a big box. He gives Lia a hug and a picture of them. + +Lia is sad too. She does not want Ben to go. She will miss him a lot. She keeps the picture in her room. She looks at it every day. She writes letters to Ben. She tells him about school and her toys and books. + +Ben gets the letters from Lia. He is happy to hear from her. He writes back to her. He tells her about his new land and his new school. He says he misses her too. He sends her a sticker of a star. + +Lia and Ben are still friends. They miss each other, but they keep in touch. They hope to see each other again. They are intelligent and kind. They have big dreams. They are proud of each other. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a truck with ice cream. They run to the truck and ask for ice cream. + +"I want a cone with chocolate and vanilla," Tom says. + +"I want a cone with strawberry and mint," Jen says. + +The man in the truck gives them their cones. They are happy. They lick their ice cream. It is cold and sweet. + +"Your cone looks good," Tom says to Jen. + +"Your cone looks good, too," Jen says to Tom. + +They smile at each other. They are good friends. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is hungry. It sees the ice cream. It barks and runs to Tom and Jen. It jumps and tries to grab their cones. + +"Hey, go away!" Tom shouts. + +"Bad dog!" Jen cries. + +They hold their cones high. They try to run away. But the dog is fast. It catches up with them. It snaps at their cones. + +It bites Tom's cone. It breaks it in half. It eats the chocolate and vanilla. Tom is sad. He has no ice cream. + +It bites Jen's cone. It breaks it in half. It eats the strawberry and mint. Jen is sad. She has no ice cream. + +The dog is happy. It has ice cream. It licks its mouth. It is rich. + +Tom and Jen are angry. They have no ice cream. They have no cones. They have no fun. + +They look at the dog. They look at each other. They cry. They are poor. +Tom and Anna were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and try to catch it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. They had to run after it and bring it back. + +One time, the ball rolled too far and went into a big house. The house had a high fence and a gate. Tom and Anna ran to the gate and tried to open it, but it was locked. They could not get in. + +"Who lives in this house?" Anna asked. + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe it is a witch or a monster." + +They were frightened. They wanted their ball back, but they did not want to meet the witch or the monster. + +They heard a noise from inside the house. It sounded like a growl. They were more frightened. They ran away from the gate and hid behind a tree. + +They saw a man come out of the house. He had a big beard and a hat. He was holding their ball. He looked angry. + +"Who threw this ball into my yard?" he shouted. "This is my pass. You can't have it." + +Tom and Anna were very frightened. They did not want to talk to the man. They wanted to go home. + +They saw their mom coming to the park. They ran to her and hugged her. + +"Mom, mom, there is a scary man in that house," Anna said. "He has our ball and he won't give it back." + +"Where, where?" mom asked. + +They pointed to the house. Mom looked at the house and smiled. + +"That's not a scary man," she said. "That's Mr. Brown. He is my friend. He likes to play jokes. He is not angry. He is just pretending." + +She walked to the gate and knocked on it. Mr. Brown opened it and smiled. + +"Hello, Mrs. Smith," he said. "I found your kids' ball in my yard. I was just having some fun with them. Here, you can have it back." + +He gave the ball to mom. Mom thanked him and gave the ball to Tom and Anna. + +"See, he is not a witch or a monster," mom said. "He is a nice man. He just likes to play." + +Tom and Anna looked at Mr. Brown. He winked at them and waved. + +"Sorry for scaring you, kids," he said. "Do you want to play with me sometime?" + +Tom and Anna nodded. They were not frightened anymore. They were curious. + +They said goodbye to Mr. Brown and went home with mom. They played with their ball on the way. They learned that some things are not what they seem. They learned that some people are not scary, but funny. They learned a new word: pass. +Lily was a yellow cat who liked to play outside. She had a long tail that she could swing and chase. One day, she saw a big dog who was barking very loud. Lily was scared and ran away, but the dog followed her. + +"Leave me alone!" Lily said to the dog. "You are mean and noisy!" + +The dog did not listen. He wanted to catch Lily and bite her tail. He ran faster and faster, until he was very close to Lily. Lily looked for a place to hide, but she could not find one. She felt the dog's breath on her back. + +Suddenly, she heard a voice. It was Tom, the boy who lived in the house where Lily stayed. Tom saw the dog chasing Lily and he ran to help her. + +"Stop!" Tom said to the dog. "You are bad and rude! Go away!" + +The dog was afraid of Tom and he stopped. He turned around and ran away, with his tail between his legs. Tom picked up Lily and hugged her. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Tom asked. "I'm sorry the dog scared you. He is not nice." + +Lily was happy and relieved. She licked Tom's face and purred. + +"Thank you, Tom," Lily said. "You are kind and brave. You are my friend." + +Tom smiled and carried Lily to the house. He gave her some milk and a toy mouse. Lily played with the mouse and wagged her tail. + +The moral of the story is: Be kind to others and they will be kind to you. Don't be mean and noisy like the dog. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys and sing songs. One day, they plan to make a jazz band. They find some pots and pans, a whistle and a bell. They put them on the floor and start to hit them and blow them. + +"Look, we are a jazz band!" Tom says. "We can make loud music!" + +"Yes, we can!" Jen says. "Let's play a song for Mom and Dad!" + +They play their pots and pans, whistle and bell very loud. They make a lot of noise. They think they sound good. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise. They come to see what is going on. They see Tom and Jen playing with their jazz band. + +"What are you doing, Tom and Jen?" Mom asks. + +"We are playing jazz!" Tom says. "Do you like it?" + +"It is very loud!" Dad says. "But it is also very creative!" + +Mom and Dad smile. They clap for Tom and Jen. They say they are proud of them. + +Tom and Jen are happy. They hug Mom and Dad. They say they love them. + +They plan to play more jazz later. But first, they clean up their pots and pans, whistle and bell. They put them back where they belong. They are good children. +Anna and Ben are playing in the backyard. They have a big box and some old clothes. They want to make a house for their toys. + +"Let's provide a home for them," Anna says. "They need a place to sleep and eat and play." + +"OK," Ben says. "We can use the box as the house and the clothes as the roof and the walls." + +They work hard to make the house. They cut holes in the box for the windows and the door. They cover the box with the clothes and tie them with strings. They put some pillows and blankets inside for the beds. They also bring some plates and cups and spoons for the kitchen. + +The house is ready. Anna and Ben are happy. They put their toys inside and pretend to be their parents. They talk to them and feed them and tuck them in. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. They look outside and see a big dog. The dog is wild. He runs towards the house and jumps on it. He tears the clothes and bites the box. He makes a big mess. + +Anna and Ben are scared. They run to the house and call for their mom. + +"Mom, mom, help!" they cry. "A wild dog is ruining our house!" + +Mom comes out and sees the dog. She chases him away with a broom. She hugs Anna and Ben and takes them inside. + +"I'm sorry, sweeties," she says. "Your house is gone. The dog was very naughty and messy." + +Anna and Ben are sad. They worked hard to make the house. They loved their toys. + +"It's OK, mom," Anna says. "We can make another house tomorrow. Right, Ben?" + +"Right," Ben says. "And we can make it stronger and prettier. And we can provide a fence to keep the wild dog away." +Lily liked to play with her toys in her room. She had dolls, cars, blocks and books. But her favorite toy was a machine that made shapes. She could put paper in the machine and turn a handle. Then the machine would cut the paper into stars, hearts, circles and more. + +One day, Lily wanted to make a big star for her mom. She found a yellow paper and put it in the machine. She turned the handle hard and waited for the star to come out. But the paper got stuck in the machine. Lily tried to pull it out, but it did not move. She felt something sharp on her finger. It was the blade of the machine. It hurt a lot and made her finger bleed. + +Lily started to cry. She ran to her mom and showed her the cut. Her mom was calm and hugged her. She took Lily to the bathroom and washed her finger. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it. She told Lily that the machine was not a toy and that she should not touch it. She said that the blade was very sharp and could hurt her. + +Lily felt sorry and said sorry to her mom. She said that she wanted to make a star for her mom. Her mom smiled and said that she loved her. She said that she did not need a star, she only needed Lily. She took Lily to her room and helped her clean up the paper and the machine. She gave Lily a new book and read her a story. Lily felt better and hugged her mom. She said that she loved her too. +Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard with their toys. They liked to make pretend houses with sticks and leaves. They also liked to watch the neighbor's dog, Spot, who sometimes barked at them. + +One day, they saw smoke coming from the neighbor's house. They smelled something bad. They heard Spot crying. They were scared. + +"Fire! Fire!" Lily shouted. "We have to help Spot!" + +Ben nodded. He grabbed a bucket of water and ran to the fence. Lily followed him. They saw flames coming out of the window. Spot was trapped inside. + +"Spot! Spot!" Ben called. He threw the water at the fire, but it was not enough. The fire was too big and hot. + +Lily saw the neighbor coming out of the front door. He looked calm. He had a phone in his hand. + +"Help! Help!" Lily yelled. "Your house is on fire! Spot is inside!" + +The neighbor saw the fire and the children. He smiled and thanked them. + +"Don't worry, kids. I called the firemen. They are on their way. Spot is safe. He has a secret door in the back. He can get out." + +He walked to the back of the house and opened the door. Spot ran out and licked his face. He was happy. + +Lily and Ben were relieved. They hugged Spot and the neighbor. They were brave. They tried to help. + +The firemen arrived and put out the fire. They praised Lily and Ben for being smart and calm. They gave them stickers and hats. They were proud. + +Lily and Ben went back to their backyard. They played with Spot and their toys. They were friends. They were happy. +Tom likes to play with his cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them go fast and make loud noises. He has a big garage where he keeps his cars. He likes to open and close the garage door. + +One day, Tom sees a new car in his garage. It is orange and shiny. It has four big wheels and a loud horn. Tom thinks it is the most beautiful car he has ever seen. He wants to play with it. He runs to the garage and opens the door. + +But Tom does not know that the orange car is not a toy. It is his dad's car. His dad is going to work and he needs his car. He is in a hurry. He does not see Tom running to the garage. He starts the car and drives out. + +Tom is scared. He hears the loud noise and sees the orange car coming out. He thinks the car is going to hit him. He does not know what to do. He freezes in front of the garage door. + +His mom sees what is happening. She is very worried. She rushes to Tom and grabs him. She pulls him away from the garage door. She hugs him and tells him he is safe. She tells him he should never play with the orange car. It is not a toy. It is dangerous. + +Tom is sorry. He did not mean to make trouble. He did not know the orange car was not a toy. He says he is sorry to his mom and his dad. He says he will only play with his toy cars. He hugs his mom and his dad. They are happy he is okay. They tell him they love him. They go inside and have breakfast. Tom plays with his toy cars on the floor. He still likes the orange car, but he knows he can only look at it. He is careful and happy. +Sam liked to design things with his blocks. He made houses, cars, trains and boats. One day, he wanted to make something new. He asked his mom, "Can I make an airport?" + +"An airport?" his mom said. "That sounds fun. What do you need for an airport?" + +Sam thought for a moment. He said, "I need a big runway for the planes to land and take off. I need a tower for the people to talk to the planes. I need a building for the people to wait and get their bags. And I need some planes, of course." + +"Wow, that's a lot of things," his mom said. "Do you have enough blocks?" + +Sam looked at his pile of blocks. He said, "I think so. Can you help me?" + +"Sure, I can help you," his mom said. "Let's start with the runway. How long do you want it to be?" + +Sam and his mom worked together to design the airport. They used long blocks for the runway, round blocks for the tower, square blocks for the building and small blocks for the planes. They had fun making the airport and pretending to fly the planes. + +When they finished, Sam was very proud of his airport. He said, "Look, mom, I made an airport. Do you like it?" + +"I love it, Sam," his mom said. "You are a great designer. Do you want to show it to dad when he comes home?" + +"Yes, please," Sam said. "But first, can I have a snack? I'm hungry." + +"Of course, you can," his mom said. "How about some apple slices and cheese?" + +"Yum, yes, please," Sam said. "But no lemon juice. I don't like lemon juice. It's sour." + +"Okay, no lemon juice," his mom said. "Just apple slices and cheese. Come on, let's go to the kitchen." + +Sam and his mom left the airport on the floor and went to the kitchen. They ate their snack and talked about their day. Sam was happy. He liked to design things with his blocks. He liked to share them with his mom and dad. He liked to eat apple slices and cheese. He did not like sour things. He was a happy boy. +Anna and Ben are going to the park with Mom. They are cheerful because they love to play on the swings and slides. Mom says they can buy ice cream on the way back. + +But when they get to the ice cream truck, Mom has a problem. She forgets her wallet at home. She says, "Oh no, I am so sorry, kids. I forget my wallet. We cannot buy ice cream today." + +Anna and Ben are sad. They really want ice cream. They say, "Please, Mom, can we go back and get your wallet?" + +Mom says, "I am sorry, but we cannot. It is too far and we have to go to the store before it closes. Maybe we can have ice cream another day." + +Anna and Ben are very sad. They do not want to go to the store. They want to have ice cream now. + +But then they see a nice lady at the ice cream truck. She smiles at them and says, "Hello, kids. Do you want some ice cream? I have two extra cones. You can have them if you like." + +Anna and Ben are surprised. They look at Mom. Mom nods and says, "That is very kind of you, thank you. Are you sure you do not need them?" + +The nice lady says, "No, I do not. I bought them for my grandkids, but they had to leave early. I do not want to waste them. Here, take them. They are chocolate and vanilla, my favorite flavors." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" They take the cones and lick them. They are delicious. They smile at the nice lady and say, "You are very nice. We like you." + +The nice lady says, "You are very welcome. I like you too. You are very cheerful and polite. Enjoy your ice cream." + +Mom says, "Thank you again. You made our day. We will not forget your kindness." + +The nice lady says, "It is my pleasure. Have a good day." + +Anna and Ben finish their ice cream and hug Mom. They say, "We love you, Mom. And we love ice cream. And we love the nice lady." + +Mom says, "I love you too, kids. And I love ice cream. And I love the nice lady. And I will not forget my wallet next time." +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a bike. They also have bread for the ducks. + +One day, they see a big duck near the pond. The duck is yellow and brown. It has a long neck and a big beak. Tim and Kim want to feed the duck. They break the bread into small pieces and throw them to the duck. + +The duck is happy. It eats the bread and makes a loud sound. "Quack, quack, quack!" The duck says. Tim and Kim laugh. They think the duck is funny. + +But there is another duck in the pond. The other duck is white and small. It has a short neck and a small beak. The other duck is jealous. It wants the bread too. It swims to the big duck and tries to take the bread. "Quack, quack, quack!" The other duck says. It sounds angry. + +The big duck does not like the other duck. It moves its head and bites the other duck. "Quack, quack, quack!" The big duck says. It sounds mean. + +Tim and Kim are scared. They do not like the big duck anymore. They think the big duck is bad. They pick up their ball and their bike and run away. They do not want to play with the ducks anymore. They want to play with their friends. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with trucks. They had many trucks of different colors and sizes. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving on the road. + +One day, they saw a big truck parked outside their house. It was red and shiny and had a big sign that said "Cake". Tom and Sam wondered what was inside the truck. They wanted to see the cake and maybe eat some. + +They ran to the truck and opened the door. They saw many boxes and bags of cake. They smelled sweet and yummy. Tom and Sam grabbed some cake and started to eat. They did not see the driver of the truck, who was inside the house, talking to their mom. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" the driver shouted, when he came out and saw Tom and Sam. He was angry and scared. He ran to the truck and tried to stop them. "This is not your cake! This is for a party! You are careless and naughty!" + +Tom and Sam were scared too. They dropped the cake and tried to run away. But they were too late. The driver caught them and dragged them to their mom. He told her what they did and asked for money. Their mom was very mad and sad. She had to pay a lot of money and apologize to the driver. She also scolded Tom and Sam and sent them to their room. They had no more cake and no more trucks. They cried and wished they had not been so careless. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to draw. They had many colors and papers to make pictures. One day, they found a big eraser in the art room. It was white and soft and could erase anything. + +"Wow, this is a great eraser!" Ben said. "Let's use it for our drawings." + +"OK, but we have to share it," Lily said. "It is not ours, we have to give it back later." + +They took the eraser and started to draw. Ben drew a car, Lily drew a flower. They used the eraser to fix their mistakes. They had fun with the eraser. + +But then, Tom came in. He was a mean boy who liked to take things from others. He saw the eraser and wanted it. + +"Hey, give me that eraser!" he said. "It is mine, I lost it yesterday." + +Ben and Lily knew he was lying. They had never seen him with the eraser before. He was trying to trick them. + +"No, it is not yours, it is from the art room," Ben said. "You are telling a fake story." + +"I don't care, I want it now!" Tom said. He grabbed the eraser from Ben and ran away. + +Ben and Lily were sad and angry. They wanted their eraser back. They followed Tom and saw him hiding behind a tree. He was laughing and playing with the eraser. + +They decided to teach him a lesson. They found a rock that looked like the eraser. It was white and hard and could not erase anything. They sneaked behind Tom and swapped the rock for the eraser. Tom did not notice. + +They ran back to the art room with the eraser. They were happy and proud. They finished their drawings and put the eraser back where they found it. + +Tom came back later. He wanted to erase his drawing and make a new one. He tried to use the rock, but it did not work. It only scratched his paper and made a loud noise. + +He realized he had been fooled. He felt stupid and ashamed. He learned that lying and stealing are bad. He wished he had been nice to Ben and Lily. + +The end. + +Moral: Honesty is the best policy. Don't take what is not yours. Share and be kind. +Lily and Ben were twins who loved to play with their toy cars. They liked to zoom them around the floor, making loud noises and pretending they were racing. One day, their mom baked some yummy pastries for them and put them on the table to cool. She told them not to touch them until after lunch. + +But Lily and Ben were very hungry and curious. They sneaked into the kitchen and saw the pastries on the table. They looked so good and smelled so sweet. They decided to take one each and eat them quickly before mom noticed. They grabbed the pastries and ran back to their room. + +But they did not see that one of the pastries was broken and had a big hole in it. As they zoomed to their room, some of the filling fell out of the hole and landed on the floor. It was sticky and messy and left a trail behind them. + +Mom came into the kitchen and saw the missing pastries and the mess on the floor. She followed the trail and found Lily and Ben in their room, with crumbs and filling on their faces and hands. She was very angry and sad. She said, "Lily and Ben, you were very naughty and greedy. You did not listen to me and you took the pastries without asking. You also made a big mess and wasted the food. You have to clean up the floor and say sorry to me. And you will not get any more pastries today." + +Lily and Ben felt very sorry and ashamed. They realized they had done a bad thing and hurt their mom's feelings. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were wrong and we are sorry. We will clean up the floor and we will not do it again. We love you, mom." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. But you have to learn to be patient and respectful. You have to wait for your turn and ask before you take something. And you have to be careful and not waste food. Food is precious and not everyone has enough. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We understand, mom. We will try to be better. Thank you for the pastries, mom. They were very yummy." + +Mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily and Ben. Now, let's go and clean up the floor together. And maybe later, we can play with your toy cars and zoom them around the floor. But not too loud, okay?" + +Lily and Ben agreed and said, "Okay, mom. We love you, mom." + +They all went to the kitchen and cleaned up the floor. Then they played with their toy cars and zoomed them around the floor. But not too loud. They had learned their lesson and they were happy. +Tim and Anna were very enthusiastic to visit the farm with their mom and dad. They liked to see the animals, like cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. They wanted to hug them and feed them. + +"Can we hug the animals, mom?" Tim asked. + +"Only if the farmer says it is okay, Tim. Some animals might not like to be hugged, or they might be scared or angry. You have to be gentle and careful," mom said. + +The farmer was nice and showed them around the farm. He let them hug some of the animals, like the sheep and the chickens. He told them not to hug the cows and the pigs, because they were too big and strong. + +But Tim and Anna did not listen to the farmer. They saw a big, black pig sleeping in the mud. They thought it looked cute and soft. They ran to the pig and tried to hug it. + +The pig did not like to be hugged. It woke up and was very angry. It made a loud noise and bit Tim and Anna. They cried and screamed. The farmer came and chased the pig away. He took Tim and Anna to their mom and dad. + +Mom and dad were very worried and sad. They took Tim and Anna to the doctor. The doctor said they had to get shots and stay in the hospital for a while. Tim and Anna were very sorry and learned their lesson. They never tried to hug a pig again. +Tim and Mia were playing knights and princesses in the garden. Tim had a wooden sword and a shield made of cardboard. Mia had a crown and a dress. They pretended to fight dragons and monsters. + +"Help me, brave knight!" Mia shouted. "The dragon is coming!" + +Tim ran to her side and waved his sword. "Don't worry, princess. I will save you!" He made a loud roar and hit the dragon. The dragon was a big toy that Mia's dad had given her. It fell over and did not move. + +"Wow, you are so strong!" Mia said. "You killed the dragon!" + +Tim smiled and put his shield down. "Yes, I did. And now I get a reward. A kiss from the princess!" + +He leaned in to kiss Mia on the cheek. But Mia pushed him away. "No, no, no!" she said. "You can't kiss me. You are my brother!" + +Tim frowned and felt sad. "But we are playing. It's just pretend." + +Mia shook her head. "No, it's not. Kissing is for mommies and daddies. Not for brothers and sisters. You are silly!" + +Tim felt angry. He picked up his shield and threw it at Mia. "You are mean!" he said. "You don't want to play with me!" + +The shield hit Mia on the head. She cried out and started to cry. Tim saw that he had hurt her. He felt sorry and scared. He ran to her and hugged her. "I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please don't cry." + +Mia stopped crying and hugged him back. "It's okay, Tim. I'm sorry too. I didn't mean to be mean. You are a good brother." + +They smiled and kissed each other on the cheek. They were friends again. They decided to play something else. Something without dragons or kisses. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their uncle Tom. Uncle Tom is fun and kind. He tells them stories and jokes. He also has a big hat. + +One day, uncle Tom comes to visit Anna and Ben. He brings his big hat with him. Anna and Ben want to try on his hat. They think it is funny. + +"Can we wear your hat, uncle Tom?" they ask. + +"Sure, you can try it on. But it is very big for you. It may not fit," uncle Tom says. + +Anna goes first. She puts the hat on her head. But the hat is too big. It covers her eyes and ears. She cannot see or hear anything. + +"Hello, Anna. Where are you?" uncle Tom says. + +Anna giggles. She likes the hat. She does not want to take it off. + +"I am here, uncle Tom. I like your hat. It is cozy," she says. + +Ben wants to try the hat too. He waits for his turn. He is impatient. + +"Anna, give me the hat. It is my turn," he says. + +"No, Ben. It is my hat. I want to wear it," Anna says. + +They start to argue. They pull the hat from each other. They are not nice. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" uncle Tom says. "You have to share the hat. It is not fair to fight over it." + +"But I want the hat. It is mine," Anna insists. + +"No, it is mine. I want it," Ben insists. + +Uncle Tom sighs. He has an idea. He takes the hat from them. He puts it on his own head. + +"Look, this is how the hat fits. It is perfect for me. It is my hat," he says. + +Anna and Ben look at uncle Tom. They see that he is right. The hat is too big for them. It is just right for uncle Tom. + +They feel sorry. They say sorry to uncle Tom. They say sorry to each other. + +"Sorry, uncle Tom. We were not nice. We should have shared the hat," Anna says. + +"Sorry, uncle Tom. We were not kind. We should have taken turns with the hat," Ben says. + +Uncle Tom smiles. He hugs them. He is not angry. + +"It is okay, Anna and Ben. I forgive you. You are still my favorite twins. And you know what? You can still play with my hat. But you have to be nice and fair. Do you agree?" he says. + +Anna and Ben nod. They agree. They hug uncle Tom back. They are happy. + +They take turns with the hat. They pretend to be different people. They have fun. They laugh. + +Uncle Tom tells them more stories and jokes. He also has fun. He loves them. They love him. They are a happy family. +Sam and Lily were playing in the yard. They had a big pile of leaves that they raked with their rake. They liked to jump in the leaves and make them fly in the air. + +"Look, Mom!" Sam shouted. "We made a big mess!" + +Mom smiled and waved at them from the window. She was busy making a cake for Dad's birthday. It was a very important day. + +"Can we help you with the cake, Mom?" Lily asked. She loved to bake with Mom. + +"Not right now, sweetie," Mom said. "The cake is almost done. But you can help me with something else. Can you and Sam make a card for Dad? He would love that." + +"Okay, Mom!" Lily said. She ran to the house with Sam. They got some paper, crayons, and stickers. They drew a picture of their family and wrote "Happy Birthday, Dad!" They also put some stickers of stars and hearts. + +They were very proud of their card. They ran back to the yard and waved it at Mom. + +"Look, Mom!" Sam shouted. "We made a card for Dad!" + +Mom smiled and waved back. She was very proud of them too. + +"That's a beautiful card, kids!" Mom said. "Dad will be so happy when he sees it. You are such good helpers. Now, come inside and wash your hands. The cake is ready and Dad will be home soon. We will have a big party!" +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to pick flowers and make crowns. They saw a big bush with many red flowers. They ran to the bush and started to pick the flowers. + +But the bush was not in the park. It was in the garden of a house. The house belonged to a grumpy man. He did not like children. He saw Lily and Tom picking his flowers. He came out of his house and shouted at them. + +"Go away! Stop picking my flowers! They are mine!" he said. He was very angry. He tried to catch Lily and Tom. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped the flowers and ran away. They did not know where to go. They saw a police car on the street. They ran to the police car and knocked on the window. + +A police woman opened the window. She saw Lily and Tom. They were crying and shaking. She asked them what happened. They told her about the grumpy man and the flowers. + +The police woman was kind. She said, "Don't worry. You are safe now. I will talk to the grumpy man and explain that you did not mean to hurt his flowers. But you should not pick flowers from other people's gardens. They might get upset. You should only pick flowers from the park or ask permission first. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said they were sorry. They thanked the police woman. She gave them a hug and a sticker. She said, "You are good children. Next time, be careful where you pick flowers. And always stay away from strangers who shout at you. OK?" + +Lily and Tom said OK. They learned their lesson. They went back to the park and played with their friends. They were happy and safe. +Lily was playing with her dolls in her room. She liked to dress them up and make them talk. She had a big mirror on the wall, where she could see herself and her dolls. She pretended that the mirror was a magic window to another world. + +One day, she found a wooden spoon in the kitchen. She thought it would be fun to use it as a wand. She waved it at the mirror and said, "Mirror, mirror, show me something new!" She hoped to see a fairy or a princess or a dragon. + +But nothing happened. The mirror only showed her own face and the spoon. Lily was angry. She thought the mirror was broken or mean. She hit the mirror with the spoon and said, "Mirror, mirror, do what I say!" She heard a loud crack and saw a spider web of lines on the glass. + +The mirror was angry too. It did not like to be hit or yelled at. It said, "Lily, Lily, you are very rude! You broke me with your spoon. Now you will see something new, but not what you want to see!" The mirror showed Lily a scary face that looked like her, but with big teeth and red eyes. + +Lily was scared. She dropped the spoon and ran out of the room. She cried and looked for her mom. She wanted to say sorry to the mirror and make it happy again. She learned that she should not stir trouble with the mirror or any other thing. +Mia liked to eat strawberries. They were red and sweet and juicy. She picked them from the garden with her mom. She ate them with cream and sugar. + +One day, Mia saw a new girl at the park. She had curly hair and a pink dress. Mia wanted to play with her. She ran to her and said, "Hi, I am Mia. What is your name?" + +The new girl looked at Mia and said, "I am Zoe. I don't want to play with you. Go away." + +Mia felt sad. She did not understand why Zoe was so mean. She tried to be nice. She said, "Do you like strawberries? I have some in my bag. They are very yummy. Do you want to try one?" + +Zoe shook her head and said, "No, I don't like strawberries. They are yucky. I only like chocolate. Go away." + +Mia felt angry. She thought Zoe was very stubborn. She did not want to share her strawberries with her. She said, "Fine, I don't want to play with you either. You are not nice. You are stubborn." + +Mia turned around and walked away. She saw another girl on the swing. She had brown hair and a blue dress. Mia smiled and said, "Hi, I am Mia. What is your name?" + +The other girl smiled back and said, "I am Lily. I like your strawberries. Can I have one?" + +Mia nodded and said, "Sure, you can have one. They are very yummy. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I want to play with you. You are very nice. You are not stubborn." + +Mia and Lily became friends. They shared their strawberries and played on the swing. They had fun. They did not care about Zoe. They were happy. +Tom and Lily wanted to go to the zoo. They asked their mom for tickets. Mom said yes, but they had to help her wrap some gifts first. Tom and Lily were happy. They liked to wrap gifts. + +They went to the living room, where mom had some paper, tape, and ribbons. Mom showed them how to wrap a gift. She said they had to be careful and neat. Tom and Lily nodded. They took a gift each and started to wrap. + +Tom was careless. He did not cut the paper well. He used too much tape. He made a big mess. Lily was careful. She cut the paper nicely. She used a little tape. She made a bow. She finished her gift. She looked at Tom's gift. She laughed. + +"Tom, your gift is ugly!" she said. "You are bad at wrapping!" + +Tom felt angry. He did not like Lily's laugh. He did not like her gift. He grabbed her gift and tore the paper. He threw the gift on the floor. + +"Lily, your gift is stupid!" he said. "You are mean to me!" + +Lily felt sad. She did not like Tom's anger. She did not like her gift broken. She cried. + +"Tom, you are naughty!" she said. "You ruined my gift!" + +Mom heard the noise. She came to the living room. She saw the gifts. She saw Tom and Lily. She was upset. + +"Tom, Lily, what did you do?" she said. "You were supposed to help me, not fight!" + +She took the tickets from her pocket. She showed them to Tom and Lily. + +"These are your tickets to the zoo," she said. "But you do not deserve them. You have to stay home and clean up this mess. No zoo for you today!" + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They wished they had been nice to each other. They wished they had wrapped the gifts well. They missed the zoo. They learned their lesson. +Anna and Ben were having dinner with their mom and dad. They ate rice and chicken and salad. Anna liked the chicken, but Ben did not. He said it was too spicy and made his mouth hurt. + +"Ben, you have to eat some chicken. It is good for you," mom said. + +"But I don't like it, mom. It is too hot. Can I have some water?" Ben asked. + +"OK, you can have some water, but you have to eat at least three bites of chicken. Then you can have dessert," mom said. + +Ben drank some water and tried to eat the chicken. He made a face and said, "Yuck, it is still spicy. I don't want it." + +Anna smiled and said, "More for me, then. I like spicy chicken. It is yummy." + +Mom looked at Ben and said, "Ben, if you don't eat your chicken, you won't get any dessert. And you know what dessert is today? It is ice cream. Your favorite." + +Ben's eyes widened and he said, "Ice cream? Really? Can I have some, please?" + +Mom nodded and said, "Yes, you can have some, but only if you eat your chicken. Come on, Ben, you can do it. Just one more bite." + +Ben looked at the chicken and then at the ice cream. He wanted the ice cream very much. He took a deep breath and ate the last bite of chicken. He turned to mom and said, "I did it, mom. I ate the chicken. Can I have the ice cream now?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can, Ben. You are a good boy. Here you go. Enjoy your dessert." + +Ben took the ice cream and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." + +Anna and Ben ate their ice cream and were happy. They liked dessert very much. They said, "This is the best dessert ever." +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But they did not like the big dog that sometimes came to the park. The dog was loud and scary. It barked and chased them. + +One day, they saw the dog again. It was near the fence, looking at them. Anna and Ben ran to the other side of the park. They hid behind a tree. They hoped the dog would not find them. + +"Shh, don't make any noise," Anna whispered to Ben. "Maybe the dog will go away." + +Ben nodded. He was very afraid. He felt his heart beat fast. He held Anna's hand. He felt her hand tremble. + +They waited for a long time. They did not hear the dog anymore. They peeked from behind the tree. They saw a sign on the fence. The sign had a picture of a dog and a word. The word was "gone". + +"Look, Anna, the sign says the dog is gone," Ben said. "Maybe the owner took him home." + +Anna smiled. She was happy. She let go of Ben's hand. She touched the sign. The sign was soft. It was made of paper. + +"Someone put the sign there to help us," Anna said. "Maybe they saw us hiding and wanted to make us feel better." + +Anna and Ben hugged. They were not afraid anymore. They thanked the sign. They went back to play. They had fun in the park. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with red fruits. Lila wanted to try one. She climbed the tree and picked a fruit. + +"Look, Tom, I have a fruit!" she said. + +"Be careful, Lila, we don't know what it is. It might be bad for you," Tom said. + +Lila shrugged. She did not care. She wanted to taste the fruit. She bit into it. It was sour and bitter. She made a face and spit it out. + +"Yuck, this fruit is awful!" she said. + +Tom laughed. "I told you, Lila, you should not eat strange fruits. You are foolish," he said. + +Lila felt sad and angry. She threw the fruit at Tom. It hit him on the head. He cried out and rubbed his head. + +"Ow, Lila, that hurt! Why did you do that?" he said. + +Lila did not answer. She climbed down the tree and ran away. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She wished she had listened to him. She learned a lesson. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play with their scooters in the park. They had red scooters that went very fast. They had fun racing each other and doing tricks. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a blue scooter that looked shiny and cool. Lily and Max wanted to say hello and make a new friend. They rode their scooters towards him and smiled. + +"Hi, I'm Lily and this is Max. What's your name?" Lily asked. + +"I'm Sam. Nice to meet you," the boy said. + +"We like your scooter. It's very pretty," Max said. + +"Thank you. I like your scooters too. They're very fast," Sam said. + +"Can we play with you?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, let's play. Do you want to race or do tricks?" Sam asked. + +"Let's race. I'm the fastest," Max said. + +"OK, let's race. But first, can I mention something?" Sam said. + +"What is it?" Lily and Max asked. + +Sam pointed to Max's scooter. "Your scooter has a sticker on it. It says 'I love Mommy'. Did you put it there?" + +Max looked at his scooter and saw the sticker. He felt very embarrassed. He did not put the sticker there. His little sister did. She liked to play with his scooter when he was not looking. She thought it was funny to put stickers on it. + +Max turned red and tried to peel off the sticker. But it was stuck very hard. He could not get it off. + +Lily and Sam saw Max's face and felt sorry for him. They did not want to make him feel bad. They wanted to make him feel better. + +"It's OK, Max. We love our mommies too. They are very nice and give us hugs and kisses. The sticker is not silly. It's sweet," Lily said. + +"Yeah, Max. Don't be embarrassed. The sticker is not a problem. It's a sign that you have a good mommy who loves you. And a funny sister who likes to play with you. That's cool," Sam said. + +Max smiled and felt better. He was glad that Lily and Sam were his friends. They were very kind and understanding. He did not mind the sticker anymore. He was proud of his mommy and his sister. + +"Thank you, Lily and Sam. You are right. The sticker is not silly. It's sweet. And I love my mommy and my sister too. They are very nice and funny. And I love you too. You are very cool and fast. Let's race," Max said. + +"OK, let's race. On your marks, get set, go!" Lily and Sam said. + +They raced their scooters in the park. They had fun and laughed. They did not care about the stickers or the colors. They only cared about being friends. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they always wanted more. Their mom and dad gave them a lot of toys, but they were not happy. They were spoiled. + +One day, mom and dad said they had a surprise for them. They took them to a big park with a lot of slides and swings. Sara and Ben were excited. They ran to the slides and climbed up. They saw a big slide that looked very fun. + +"Let's go on that one!" Sara said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They went to the big slide and waited for their turn. There were other kids in front of them. Sara and Ben were impatient. They did not like to wait. + +"Come on, hurry up!" Sara said. + +"Yeah, move it!" Ben said. + +They pushed and shoved the other kids. The other kids were angry and sad. They told Sara and Ben to stop. Sara and Ben did not listen. They did not care. + +Finally, it was their turn. Sara and Ben got on the big slide. They smiled and laughed. They thought they were very smart and brave. + +"Ready, set, go!" Sara said. + +They slid down the big slide. But they did not know that the big slide had a twist. It was not a straight slide. It was a turn slide. Sara and Ben did not see the turn. They were going too fast. + +They reached the turn and screamed. They lost their balance. They fell off the slide. They landed on the ground. They hurt themselves. They cried and cried. + +Mom and dad heard them and ran to them. They picked them up and hugged them. They checked them for injuries. They were not badly hurt, but they had some bruises and scratches. + +"Are you OK?" mom asked. + +"That slide was mean!" Sara said. + +"It tricked us!" Ben said. + +Mom and dad shook their heads. They were disappointed and worried. + +"No, the slide was not mean or tricky. You were mean and tricky. You pushed and shoved the other kids. You did not wait for your turn. You did not trust the slide. You did not respect the rules. You were spoiled." mom said. + +Sara and Ben looked down. They felt ashamed. They realized they were wrong. They said sorry to mom and dad. They said sorry to the other kids. They learned their lesson. + +They did not go on the big slide again. They played on the other slides and swings. They waited for their turn. They trusted the slides. They followed the rules. They were not spoiled. They were happy. +Lila and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Lila has a soft teddy bear and Tom has a wooden rod. Tom likes to pretend that the rod is a sword and he swings it around. + +"Look, Lila, I am a knight!" Tom says. "I can fight dragons and monsters with my sword!" + +Lila smiles and hugs her teddy bear. She likes to pretend that the teddy bear is her friend and she talks to it. + +"Hello, teddy, you are so gentle and fuzzy," Lila says. "I like to squeeze you and cuddle you." + +Tom sees Lila and her teddy bear and he wants to play with them too. He runs over to Lila and tries to grab the teddy bear. + +"Give me your teddy, Lila, I want to play with it!" Tom says. + +Lila does not want to share her teddy bear. She holds it tight and says no. + +"No, Tom, this is my teddy, you have your sword!" Lila says. + +Tom does not listen. He pulls the teddy bear from Lila's arms and squeezes it hard. The teddy bear makes a squeaky sound and Lila cries. + +"Tom, you are hurting my teddy, give it back!" Lila says. + +Tom laughs and squeezes the teddy bear harder. He thinks it is funny to make it squeak. + +"Ha ha, your teddy is silly, it sounds like a mouse!" Tom says. + +Lila is very sad and angry. She sees Tom's sword on the floor and she picks it up. She swings it at Tom and hits him on the head. Tom drops the teddy bear and cries. + +"Ow, Lila, you hit me with your sword, that hurts!" Tom says. + +Lila takes her teddy bear and hugs it. She says sorry to it and kisses it. + +"I'm sorry, teddy, I love you, you are gentle and fuzzy," Lila says. + +Tom rubs his head and says sorry to Lila and her teddy bear. + +"I'm sorry, Lila, I'm sorry, teddy, I was mean, you are gentle and soft," Tom says. + +Lila and Tom look at each other and smile. They say sorry to each other and hug. They decide to share their toys and play nicely. + +"Let's be friends, Lila, let's be friends, Tom," they say. + +They play with the teddy bear and the sword and have fun. They are gentle and kind to each other and their toys. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to see what was under the tree. + +They ran to the tree and looked around. They saw a hole in the ground. They heard a noise from the hole. It sounded like a growl. They were curious and scared. + +"Who is there?" Lily asked. + +"Meow!" a voice said. + +They looked inside the hole and saw a small cat. The cat was wet and dirty. It looked sad and hungry. + +"Hello, cat!" Tom said. "Why are you in the hole?" + +"I was lost and I found this hole. It was raining and I was cold. I was hiding from the wild dogs. They are mean and loud. They chased me and bit me. Look, I have a hurt paw." the cat said. + +Lily and Tom felt sorry for the cat. They wanted to help it. + +"Come out, cat. We will take you home. We will give you food and water. We will clean you and make you warm. We will be your friends. You will be happy." Lily said. + +The cat was afraid, but it trusted Lily and Tom. It crawled out of the hole and let them touch it. They picked it up and hugged it. They ran back to their house. They showed the cat to their mom. She agreed to keep the cat. She gave it a name: Fluffy. + +Lily and Tom were happy. They had discovered a new friend. Fluffy was happy too. He had found a new home. They played and cuddled together. They were a family. +Anna and Ben were on vacation with their mom and dad. They went to a large beach with soft sand and blue water. Anna and Ben liked to play in the sand and build castles and towers. They used buckets and shovels and shells and sticks. + +One day, Anna and Ben decided to build a very large castle near the water. They worked hard and made the walls and the towers and the gates. They were proud of their castle and wanted to show it to their mom and dad. + +But then, a big wave came and washed away their castle. Anna and Ben were sad and angry. They cried and shouted. + +"Bad wave! Bad wave! You broke our castle!" Anna said. + +"Go away, wave! Go away! We want our castle back!" Ben said. + +Their mom and dad heard them and came to see what was wrong. They hugged Anna and Ben and tried to make them feel better. + +"I'm sorry, sweeties. The wave didn't mean to break your castle. It's just how the water moves. Sometimes it comes close and sometimes it goes far," their mom said. + +"Your castle was very beautiful and large. You did a great job. But sand castles don't last forever. They are fun to build, but they can also be fun to destroy. Do you want to build another one?" their dad said. + +Anna and Ben sniffed and wiped their tears. They looked at the sand and the water and the shells and the sticks. They thought for a moment. + +"OK, dad. We can build another one. But this time, let's build it far from the water. And let's make it even larger and more beautiful. And let's make a moat and a bridge and a flag. And let's invite mom to help us. And let's have fun!" Anna said. + +"Yes, Anna. That sounds like a good idea. Let's do that. And let's also make some sand pies and some sand animals and some sand people. And let's pretend we are the king and the queen of the sand castle. And let's have fun!" Ben said. + +Anna and Ben smiled and hugged their mom and dad. They took their buckets and shovels and shells and sticks and went to find a new spot to build their castle. They had fun on their vacation. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play outside every day. They run, jump, and kick a ball. They have fun and exercise. + +But one day, Sara is sick. She has to stay in bed. She cannot play with Tom. She is sad and bored. She misses Tom and the exercise. + +Tom is sad too. He has no one to play with. He walks around the park. He sees other kids, but they are not his friends. He misses Sara and their original games. + +He decides to make a card for Sara. He draws a picture of them playing. He writes "I miss you" and "Get well soon". He walks to Sara's house. He knocks on the door. + +Sara's mom opens the door. She sees Tom and his card. She smiles and says "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. Sara will be happy to see you and your card. Come in, she is in her room." + +Tom follows Sara's mom. He sees Sara in bed. She looks pale and tired. But when she sees Tom and his card, she smiles and says "Hi, Tom. I miss you too. Your card is very nice. Thank you for coming." + +Tom sits on a chair next to Sara's bed. He shows her his card. He tells her about the park. He makes her laugh. They talk for a while. + +Sara feels better. She says "Tom, you are a good friend. You make me happy. I hope I can play with you soon. I want to exercise and have fun with you again." + +Tom says "Me too, Sara. You are a good friend too. You are original and fun. I hope you get well soon. I will come again tomorrow." + +They hug and say goodbye. Tom leaves with a smile. Sara keeps his card on her nightstand. She falls asleep with a smile. They both miss each other, but they know they will play again. +Lily and Ben were going to visit their grandma for the weekend. They had to pack their bags with clothes, toys and books. Lily was very organized. She made a list of what she needed and put everything neatly in her bag. Ben was not organized. He threw whatever he saw in his bag and did not check if he had everything. + +"Ben, are you done packing?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, yes, I'm done," Ben said. + +"Let me see your bag," Lily said. She opened Ben's bag and saw a mess. There were socks, crayons, a banana, a pillow and a dinosaur. "Ben, this is not how you pack. You have to take out the things you don't need and put in the things you do need. Where are your clothes? Where are your books?" + +"I don't need clothes. I don't need books. I need a banana, a pillow and a dinosaur," Ben said. + +"No, you don't. You need clothes to wear and books to read. Grandma will not be happy if you show up with a banana, a pillow and a dinosaur. And what about dessert? Don't you want to bring something sweet for grandma?" + +"Dessert? What dessert?" Ben asked. + +Lily sighed. She had made some cookies for grandma and put them in a box. She had written "For Grandma" on the box and put it on the table. But now the box was gone. She looked around and saw Ben's dinosaur holding the box in its mouth. + +"Ben, you took my cookies!" Lily said. + +"No, I didn't. The dinosaur did," Ben said. + +"Give them back, Ben. They are not for you. They are for grandma," Lily said. + +"No, they are for me. They are for the dinosaur," Ben said. + +Lily and Ben started to argue. They pulled the box from each other and the cookies fell out. They broke into pieces and crumbs. Lily and Ben stopped and looked at the mess. They felt sad and sorry. + +"Oops," Ben said. + +"Uh-oh," Lily said. + +They heard their mom calling them. "Lily, Ben, are you ready? We have to go now." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They knew they had to fix their mistake. They quickly picked up the cookies and put them back in the box. They threw away the banana, the pillow and the dinosaur. They packed some clothes and books in Ben's bag. They hugged and said sorry to each other. + +"Mom, we're ready," Lily said. + +"Mom, we're sorry," Ben said. + +Mom came and saw their bags. She smiled and said, "Good job, kids. You are very organized. And what is this? A box of cookies for grandma? How sweet of you. She will love them." + +Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. We love you. We love grandma." + +They took their bags and went to the car. They were happy and excited to see their grandma. They hoped she would not mind the broken cookies. They hoped she would have some dessert for them. +Tom and Anna like to play in the garden. They have a big box with many toys. They can make cars, houses, animals and more. They have fun with their toys. + +One day, they see something new in the garden. It is long and thin and brown. It moves on the ground. It has a small head and a big mouth. Tom and Anna do not know what it is. + +"Look, Anna, what is that?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know, Tom. It is strange. Maybe it is a toy?" Anna says. + +They go closer to see the thing. They want to touch it. But then, the thing makes a loud noise. It opens its mouth and shows its teeth. It looks angry and dangerous. + +"Ah, it is a snake!" Tom shouts. + +"A snake? What is a snake?" Anna asks. + +"A snake is a bad animal. It can bite and hurt us. We have to run away!" Tom says. + +They drop their toys and run back to the house. They are scared of the snake. They tell their mom about the snake. She says they did the right thing. She says the snake is not a toy. It is a wild animal. It can be very dangerous. She says they should never go near a snake. + +She gives them a hug and a cookie. She says they are brave and smart. She says she will call someone to take the snake away. She says they can play with their toys again when the snake is gone. + +Tom and Anna are happy. They love their mom. They love their toys. They do not love the snake. They hope the snake will never appear in their garden again. +Ben and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles. But sometimes they did not agree on how to play. + +"I want to make a big tower!" Ben said. He took some blocks from Lily's bridge. + +"No, Ben, those are mine!" Lily said. She tried to take them back. + +"Go away, Lily. I don't want to play with you." Ben said. He ignored Lily and kept building his tower. + +Lily was sad and angry. She did not like Ben's way of playing. She wanted to play with him, but he was not nice. She looked around and saw a big ball. She had an idea. + +She rolled the ball to Ben's tower. She pushed it hard with her foot. The ball hit the tower and made it fall down. The blocks went everywhere. + +"Hey, what did you do?" Ben shouted. He was shocked and mad. His tower was gone. + +"I did that!" Lily said. She smiled. She felt mighty. "That's what you get for ignoring me!" + +Ben and Lily stared at each other. Then they both started to laugh. They realized they were silly. They said sorry to each other and hugged. + +"Let's play together, okay?" Ben said. + +"Okay, let's make a new tower. And a bridge. And a castle." Lily said. + +They picked up the blocks and started to play again. They had fun and shared their blocks. They did not ignore each other anymore. They were friends. +Sara and Ben were going to the park with Mom. They put on their coats and hats and mittens. Sara had a new pair of mittens. They were pink and had sparkles on them. Sara thought they were very fancy. + +"Look at my mittens, Ben!" Sara said. "They are so pretty and shiny!" + +Ben looked at Sara's mittens. He did not like them. He liked his mittens better. They were blue and had cars on them. Ben thought they were very cool. + +"Your mittens are not cool, Sara," Ben said. "They are too girly and silly. My mittens are cool. They have cars on them. Cars are fast and fun." + +Sara felt sad. She liked her mittens. She did not think they were silly. She thought they were fancy. + +Mom heard Sara and Ben. She did not like them fighting. She said, "Sara and Ben, stop arguing. Your mittens are both nice. They are different, but they are both warm and cozy. You should be kind to each other and share your mittens. Maybe you can trade them for a while and see how they feel." + +Sara and Ben looked at Mom. They thought about what she said. They decided to try it. Sara gave Ben one of her pink mittens and took one of his blue mittens. Ben did the same. They put on their mismatched mittens and smiled. + +"Look at us, Mom!" Sara said. "We have funny mittens!" + +"Yes, you do," Mom said. "And you have happy faces. I'm glad you are getting along. Now let's go to the park. Maybe we will meet some new friends there." + +They arrived at the park. They saw other kids playing. Some of them had mittens too. Some of them had different colors and patterns. Sara and Ben did not mind. They liked their funny mittens. They liked their new friends. They had fun. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many branches. Sara wants to climb the tree, but Ben is afraid. + +"Look, Ben, there is a knot on the tree. It is like a step. We can use it to go up," Sara says. + +She points to a round bump on the trunk of the tree. Ben observes the knot. He thinks it looks hard and rough. + +"I don't want to climb the tree, Sara. The knot might hurt my feet. And the branches might break. And we might fall," Ben says. + +He shakes his head and stays on the ground. Sara is not scared. She likes to explore and have fun. + +"Come on, Ben, don't be a baby. It is not hard. It is easy. And it is fun. You can see many things from the tree. Like birds and clouds and flowers," Sara says. + +She grabs the knot and pulls herself up. She feels the bark of the tree. It is not soft, but it is not bad. She smiles and climbs higher. She sees a nest on a branch. She hears a chirp. She sees a bird with blue feathers and a yellow beak. It is beautiful. + +"Wow, Ben, look at this bird. It is so pretty. And it has a nest with eggs. Come and see," Sara says. + +She waves to Ben from the tree. Ben looks up. He sees Sara and the bird. He feels curious and brave. He wants to see the nest and the eggs. He wants to be with Sara. + +"Okay, Sara, I will try. But you have to help me. And be careful," Ben says. + +He walks to the tree. He holds the knot. He feels it is not so hard. He pushes himself up. He feels the bark of the tree. It is not so rough. He follows Sara to the branch. He sees the nest and the eggs. He hears the chirp. He sees the bird. It is beautiful. + +"Wow, Sara, you are right. This is fun. And this bird is pretty. And it has a nest with eggs. Can we touch them?" Ben says. + +He smiles and reaches for the nest. Sara stops him. + +"No, Ben, we can't touch them. They are not ours. They belong to the bird. We have to be nice and leave them alone. We can only observe them. And say hello," Sara says. + +She nods and waves to the bird. Ben nods and waves to the bird. The bird chirps and waves back. Sara and Ben are happy. They observe the bird and the nest and the eggs. They feel the bark of the tree. They see the sky and the sun and the flowers. They are friends. They are adventurers. They are climbers. +Tim and Lily were playing with blocks in their room. They liked to build tall towers and see who could make the highest one. Tim was very careful with his blocks. He put them one on top of another, making sure they were balanced and straight. Lily was very careless with her blocks. She threw them on the floor, or piled them up without looking. + +"Look, Lily, my tower is almost as tall as me!" Tim said, proud of his work. "How high is your tower?" + +Lily looked at her messy blocks and felt jealous of Tim. She wanted to have a higher tower than him. She had an idea. She grabbed a chair and dragged it to her blocks. She climbed on the chair and started to put more blocks on her tower. She did not care if they were crooked or wobbly. + +"Ha, ha, Tim, now my tower is higher than yours!" Lily said, laughing. "It is more than an inch higher!" + +Tim looked at Lily's tower and saw that it was very unstable. He was worried that it would fall and hurt Lily or break the blocks. He tried to warn her. + +"Lily, be careful! Your tower is not safe! It might fall down!" Tim said, scared. + +But Lily did not listen to Tim. She was too busy adding more blocks to her tower. She wanted to make it even higher. She reached for another block, but she was too careless. She pushed one of the blocks on her tower and made it lose its balance. The whole tower started to fall down, with a loud crash. + +"Help!" Lily screamed, as the blocks fell on her and the chair. She felt pain in her head and her arm. She started to cry. + +Tim ran to Lily and tried to help her. He moved some of the blocks away and saw that Lily had a big bump on her head and a cut on her arm. He was very scared and sad. He wished he could make Lily feel better. + +"Lily, I'm sorry! Are you okay?" Tim said, crying. + +Lily looked at Tim and saw that he was sorry. She felt sorry too. She wished she had not been so careless and greedy. She wished she had listened to Tim and played nicely with him. + +"Tim, I'm sorry too! I was not nice to you! I was silly and mean!" Lily said, crying. + +They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They hoped their mom would come soon and help them. They learned a lesson. They learned that being careless and greedy can lead to bad things. They learned that being careful and kind can lead to good things. They learned that they should love each other and share their toys. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the kitchen. They find a big bag of sugar. They want to make a cake. + +"Let's weigh the sugar," Tom says. He puts the bag on the scale. The scale says ten. "Wow, that's a lot of sugar!" + +Sue nods. She takes a spoon and scoops some sugar. She puts it in her mouth. "Mmm, sweet!" she says. + +Tom wants to try too. He grabs the spoon from Sue. He scoops some sugar. He puts it in his mouth. "Yuck, too sweet!" he says. He spits out the sugar. + +Sue is angry. She wants the spoon back. She pulls the spoon from Tom. Tom pulls back. They tug and tug. The bag of sugar falls off the scale. It rips open. Sugar spills everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Sue say. They look at the mess. They hear footsteps. Mom is coming. They are in trouble. +Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw a big bus with many people inside. The bus had a loud horn and shiny wheels. Ben and Lily wanted to ride the bus. + +"Can we go on the bus, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe another day, sweetie. The bus is not for us today. It is for the people who work in the city," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily felt sad. They liked the bus. They wanted to see the city. They walked to the playground and saw a swing, a slide and a seesaw. They ran to the seesaw and climbed on it. + +"Look, Mom, we are on the bus!" Lily said. She pretended to be the driver. She held a stick and made a horn sound. "Beep beep!" + +Ben smiled. He pretended to be a passenger. He sat on a leather seat and looked out the window. He saw trees, flowers and birds. He made a lively chatter. "Wow, look at that! How pretty! How fun!" + +Mom watched them and laughed. She was happy to see them play. She took a picture of them on the seesaw. She thought they were very clever and creative. She hugged them and said, "You are my favorite bus riders. I love you very much." +One day, a boy named Tom went to the park with his mom. He liked to play on the swings and the slide, but he also liked to look for bugs. He saw a big ant, a shiny beetle, and a fuzzy caterpillar. He wanted to find a worm, too. + +He looked under a rock, but there was no worm. He looked in a hole, but there was no worm. He looked in a pile of leaves, but there was no worm. He was sad. He asked his mom, "Where are the worms?" + +His mom said, "Worms like to live in the dirt. They come out when it rains. Maybe you can find one if you dig a little." + +Tom got a stick and started to dig in the dirt. He dug and dug and dug. He saw something brown and long and wiggly. He was happy. He found a worm! + +He picked up the worm and held it in his hand. He said, "Hello, worm. You are my friend. Do you want to play with me?" + +The worm did not say anything. It just wiggled and wiggled. Tom thought the worm was funny. He wanted to show it to his mom. + +He ran to his mom, who was sitting on a bench. She was very tall. He said, "Mom, look! I found a worm!" + +His mom looked at the worm and smiled. She said, "That's great, Tom. You are a good bug hunter. But be gentle with the worm. It is alive and it needs air and water." + +Tom said, "OK, mom. I will be gentle. Can I keep the worm?" + +His mom said, "No, Tom. You can't keep the worm. The worm belongs in the dirt. That is its home. You can play with it for a little while, but then you have to put it back." + +Tom said, "OK, mom. I understand. I will play with the worm for a little while, and then I will say goodbye." + +He opened his hand and let the worm crawl on his palm. He watched it wiggle and bend. He tickled it with his finger. He laughed. He had fun with the worm. He was glad he found it. He was a happy boy. +Lily was a dog who loved to run and play. She liked to chase balls, squirrels and birds. She was fast and strong, but not very graceful. She often bumped into things and tripped over her own paws. + +One day, Lily's owner took her to a big park. There were many other dogs and people there. Lily was very excited and wanted to say hello to everyone. She pulled on her leash and barked loudly. Her owner tried to calm her down, but Lily was too happy to listen. + +Then, Lily saw a big lake. She loved water and wanted to swim. She ran towards the lake, dragging her owner behind her. She jumped into the water and splashed around. She felt free and happy. + +But then, she saw something shiny and silver in the water. It was a fish. Lily wanted to catch the fish. She swam after it, but the fish was too fast and too graceful. It swam away from Lily, making her chase it in circles. Lily got dizzy and tired. She realized she was far from the shore and her owner. + +She looked around and saw her owner waving and calling her name. She also saw her leash floating on the water. She felt scared and sorry. She swam back to her owner and grabbed her leash with her mouth. She wanted to show her owner that she was a good dog. + +Her owner hugged her and praised her. He said she was brave and smart. He also said she was graceful in the water. Lily felt happy and proud. She licked her owner's face and wagged her tail. She learned that she could be graceful, but only when she listened to her owner. +Sara and Tom were playing in the farm. They saw a big bull in the field. The bull was brown and had horns. He looked angry. + +"Let's decorate the bull!" Sara said. She had a bag of ribbons and flowers. "He will look pretty and happy." + +Tom was scared. "No, Sara, the bull is ancient. He is old and grumpy. He does not like ribbons and flowers. He will chase us and hurt us." + +Sara did not listen. She ran to the field with her bag. She threw a ribbon on the bull's horn. The bull snorted and shook his head. He saw Sara and ran after her. + +"Help, Tom, help!" Sara cried. She dropped her bag and ran back to the fence. Tom helped her climb over. The bull stopped at the fence and mooed loudly. + +"Sara, you were silly. You should not decorate the bull. He is ancient and angry. He does not want to be pretty and happy. He wants to be alone and quiet." Tom said. + +Sara was sorry. She hugged Tom and said, "You are right, Tom. I was silly. I will not decorate the bull again. I will decorate the sheep instead. They are soft and friendly. They like ribbons and flowers." +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a big box of paints and brushes, and they wanted to make a picture for their mom. Lily had a bright idea. + +"Let's mix the paints and make new colors!" she said to Tom. "We can use this tube to squeeze them out." + +Tom nodded and smiled. He liked to mix things and see what happened. He picked up the tube and opened the cap. He squeezed some red paint and some yellow paint into a bowl. + +"Look, it's orange!" he said, showing Lily. + +Lily clapped her hands. She wanted to try too. She took the tube from Tom and squeezed some blue paint and some green paint into another bowl. + +"Look, it's...um...a different green!" she said, not sure what to call it. + +They kept mixing and squeezing, making more and more bowls of paint. They had fun, but they were also very clumsy. They spilled paint on the floor, on the couch, on the table, and on themselves. They did not notice how messy they were, until they heard a loud voice. + +"What are you doing?" It was their mom, who had come home from work. She saw the living room covered in paint, and her children looking like rainbows. She was very angry. + +"Mom, we made new colors!" Lily said, trying to explain. + +"We wanted to make a picture for you!" Tom said, holding up a paper with some blobs of paint. + +Their mom did not care. She took the tube and the bowls and threw them in the trash. She made Lily and Tom take off their clothes and go to the bathroom. She said they had to take a bath and clean up. She said they were naughty and they had to go to bed early. She said they could not play with paints anymore. + +Lily and Tom felt very sad. They did not mean to make a mess. They just wanted to have fun and make their mom happy. They cried as they washed the paint off their skin and hair. They wished they had not mixed the paints. They wished they had a different ending. +Anna was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress and a crown. Anna liked to pretend that Lily was a princess and she was her friend. + +One day, Anna and Lily were playing in the garden. Anna saw a big butterfly with many colors. She wanted to catch it and show it to Lily. She ran after the butterfly, but it flew away. Anna followed it to the other side of the garden, where there was a big fence. + +Anna saw a hole in the fence. She thought maybe the butterfly went through the hole. She wanted to see what was on the other side. She crawled through the hole and found herself in a new place. There were many cars, people and noises. Anna felt scared and lost. She wished she had Lily with her. + +Anna saw a man in a blue uniform. He had a badge and a hat. He looked kind and strong. Anna thought maybe he could help her. She walked up to him and said, "Hello, I am Anna. I lost my doll and my home. Can you help me?" + +The man smiled and said, "Hello, Anna. I am Ben. I am a law man. I help people who are in trouble. Don't worry, I will help you find your doll and your home. Come with me." He took Anna's hand and led her to his car. + +Ben asked Anna some questions about her doll and her home. He used his radio to talk to other law men. He found out where Anna lived and drove her there. Anna saw her house and felt happy. She saw her mom and dad waiting for her. They hugged her and thanked Ben. + +Ben gave Anna a hug and said, "You are a brave girl, Anna. I am glad you are safe. Next time, don't go through the fence. It is dangerous. Stay in your garden and play with your doll. She is your best friend." + +Anna nodded and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good law man. You helped me and Lily. She is my best friend. I will stay in my garden and play with her. Maybe one day, I will become a law man like you." + +Ben smiled and said, "Maybe you will, Anna. Maybe you will. Goodbye, Anna. Goodbye, Lily." He waved and drove away. + +Anna and Lily went back to their garden. They played and laughed. They were happy. They had a new friend. His name was Ben. He was a law man. He was old and kind. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a green frog near a pond. The frog was hopping and croaking happily. + +"Look, a frog!" Tim said. "Let's catch it and keep it as a pet!" + +"No, Tim, that's not nice," Sam said. "The frog lives in the pond. It needs water to be happy. If we take it away, it will be dry and sad." + +But Tim did not listen to Sam. He ran after the frog and caught it in his hands. He put it in a jar and took it home. + +The next day, Tim and Sam looked at the jar. The frog was not hopping or croaking. It was still and quiet. Its skin was dry and wrinkled. + +"What's wrong with the frog?" Tim asked. + +"It's sick, Tim," Sam said. "It misses the pond. It needs water to be happy. You should let it go." + +Tim felt sorry for the frog. He realized he had been selfish and cruel. He took the jar and ran back to the pond. He opened the jar and let the frog go. + +The frog jumped out of the jar and into the water. It splashed and croaked happily. It looked at Tim and Sam and winked. + +"Thank you, Tim," the frog said. "You did the right thing. You are a good friend." + +Tim and Sam smiled. They learned a lesson. They should not take away what belongs to others. They should respect and care for all living things. They waved goodbye to the frog and went home. +Tommy was thirsty. He wanted to drink some water. He went to the kitchen and saw the faucet. He climbed on a chair and reached for the handle. He turned it and water came out. + +Tommy was happy. He put his mouth under the faucet and drank some water. It was cold and good. He drank and drank until his belly was full. He turned off the faucet and got down from the chair. + +Tommy heard a noise. It was his mom. She came into the kitchen and saw Tommy. She smiled and hugged him. She said, "Did you drink some water, Tommy?" + +Tommy nodded. He said, "Yes, mom. I was thirsty. The water was cold and good." + +Mom said, "That's good, Tommy. But next time, please use a cup. The faucet is not for drinking. It can have germs and dirt. And you can spill water on the floor and make a mess." + +Tommy looked at the floor. He saw some water drops. He felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I won't do it again." + +Mom said, "It's okay, Tommy. I'm not mad. I'm glad you drank some water. It's good for you. Especially on a mild day like this. Do you want to go outside and play?" + +Tommy nodded. He said, "Yes, mom. I want to go outside and play. Can I take my ball?" + +Mom said, "Sure, Tommy. You can take your ball. But first, let's dry the floor and wash your hands. And don't forget your hat and sunscreen." + +Tommy said, "Okay, mom. Thank you, mom. I love you, mom." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Tommy. You're a good boy. Come on, let's go." + +Tommy and mom dried the floor and washed their hands. They put on their hat and sunscreen. They took the ball and went outside. Tommy hoped to have fun. He was happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They love to play together. They also love chocolate. But Mommy says they can only have one piece after dinner. Lily and Ben want more chocolate. They have a plan. + +They wait until Mommy is busy in the kitchen. Then they sneak into the living room. They look for the hidden chocolate. Mommy keeps it in a big jar on the shelf. Lily and Ben climb on the sofa. They reach for the jar. They open it. They see many pieces of chocolate. They smile. + +They take some chocolate and put it in their pockets. They close the jar. They jump off the sofa. They run to their room. They close the door. They sit on the bed. They take out the chocolate. They eat it. They say, "Mmm, yummy!" + +But Mommy hears them. She comes to their room. She knocks on the door. She says, "Lily and Ben, what are you doing?" Lily and Ben hide the chocolate under the pillow. They say, "Nothing, Mommy!" + +Mommy opens the door. She sees their faces. They have chocolate on their mouths. She says, "Lily and Ben, did you take the hidden chocolate?" Lily and Ben look at each other. They nod. They say, "Sorry, Mommy. We love chocolate." + +Mommy sighs. She says, "Lily and Ben, I love you. But you have to follow the rules. Chocolate is a treat, not a meal. You can have one piece after dinner, but not more. And you have to ask me first, not sneak. Do you understand?" Lily and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mommy. We understand." + +Mommy hugs them. She says, "Good. Now, go wash your faces. And give me the rest of the chocolate. I will put it back in the jar. Maybe we can have some tomorrow, if you are good." Lily and Ben say, "Okay, Mommy. Thank you." They go to the bathroom. They wash their faces. They give Mommy the chocolate. They say, "We love you, Mommy." Mommy says, "I love you too, Lily and Ben." +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with blocks and dolls and cars. One day, they found a big book with numbers and pictures. They wanted to learn more. + +They opened the book and saw a page with a circle. The circle had a line inside. Lily said, "What is this?" Ben said, "I don't know. Maybe it is a ball." They turned the page and saw another circle with a line. And another. And another. + +They saw a word under the circles. It said, "Zero". Lily said, "What is zero?" Ben said, "I don't know. Maybe it is a name." They turned the page and saw more words. They said, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." Lily said, "What are these?" Ben said, "I don't know. Maybe they are sounds." + +They tried to say the words. They said, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." They liked the sounds. They said them again and again. They smiled and laughed. + +They heard a voice. It was Mom. She said, "What are you doing?" They showed her the book. They said, "We are learning numbers. This is zero. This is one. This is two. And so on." Mom said, "Wow, you are very smart. You are learning math. Math is fun and useful. Zero is a special number. It means nothing or empty. One is the first number. It means one thing or one person. Two is the second number. It means two things or two people. And so on." + +Lily and Ben were happy. They said, "We like math. We like numbers. We want to learn more." Mom said, "That's great. I'm proud of you. You can learn anything if you believe in yourself. You can do anything if you try hard. You are fine kids. I love you." She hugged them and kissed them. They hugged her and kissed her. They said, "We love you too, Mom. You are fine too." They closed the book and put it away. They decided to play with blocks and dolls and cars again. They were best friends. They were happy. The end. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play games. One day, they play a game with their shirts. They have many shirts of different colors. They try to match their shirts with the things they see. + +"Look, Sam, I have a red shirt. It matches the apple on the table," Tim says. + +"That's easy, Tim. I have a blue shirt. It matches the sky outside," Sam says. + +They keep playing and matching their shirts with flowers, toys, books, and more. They have fun and laugh. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their mom. She is angry. She sees their shirts on the floor. They made a big mess. + +"Tim and Sam, what are you doing? Why are your shirts everywhere? You need to put them away. Now!" Mom says. + +Tim and Sam are scared. They did not think about their mom. They only thought about their game. They say sorry to their mom. They pick up their shirts and put them in the closet. + +They learn a lesson. They need to be alert and careful. They need to respect their mom and their things. They can play games, but they also need to clean up. They hug their mom and say they love her. Mom smiles and hugs them back. She loves them too. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. One day, they decided to spend the afternoon at the park. They packed their toys and snacks and went with their moms. + +At the park, they saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They ran to the slide and took turns going down. They laughed and shouted with joy. Then they went to the swing and pushed each other higher and higher. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They were very happy. + +But when they got to the sandbox, they saw a problem. There was only one shovel and one bucket. Lily and Ben both wanted to use them. They looked at each other and frowned. + +"I saw them first!" Lily said. "They are mine!" + +"No, they are not!" Ben said. "They are for everyone!" + +They started to pull and tug at the shovel and the bucket. They yelled and cried. They did not share. They did not listen. They did not play nice. + +Their moms heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. They saw Lily and Ben fighting over the toys. They were very sad and angry. + +"Lily and Ben, stop it right now!" their moms said. "You are being very naughty and rude! You have to share and be kind to your friend!" + +But Lily and Ben did not stop. They kept on fighting. They did not care what their moms said. They did not care about their friendship. + +Their moms shook their heads and sighed. They took their children by the hand and left the park. They did not say goodbye. They did not say sorry. They did not have fun. + +Lily and Ben lost their toys and their friend. They were very lonely and sorry. They wished they had been nice and shared. They learned a hard lesson that day. They missed their adorable friend. +Sara liked to stir things. She stirred her soup, her milk, her paint. She liked to see the colors and shapes change. One day, she found a big book on the shelf. It had many pictures and words. Sara wanted to stir the book. + +She took the book to the kitchen and put it in a big pot. She added some water and some salt. She got a big spoon and started to stir the book. She stirred and stirred and stirred. The book became wet and soft and messy. The pictures and words faded away. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Mommy came into the kitchen and saw the pot. She was very angry. "That's not a normal thing to do, Sara! That's a very bad thing to do! You ruined the book!" + +Sara looked at Mommy and felt sad. She did not know the book was important. She just wanted to stir it. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I like to stir things. I thought the book would be fun to stir." + +Mommy sighed and hugged Sara. She said, "I know you like to stir things, Sara, but you can't stir everything. Some things are not for stirring. They are for reading or looking or keeping. The book was a special book. It was a gift from Grandma. She wrote a story for you in the book. Now the story is gone." + +Sara felt very sorry. She loved Grandma and her stories. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry, Grandma. I didn't know. Can we get a new book?" + +Mommy said, "No, Sara. We can't get a new book. The book was one of a kind. But maybe we can make a new book. A book that you can stir and play with. A book that we can write and draw together. Would you like that?" + +Sara nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, Mommy. I would like that. Thank you, Mommy. I love you." + +Mommy said, "I love you too, Sara. Now let's clean up this mess and start our new book." +Sara and Ben are playing on the beach. They like to pick shells and make piles of them. Sara finds a big shell that is shiny and pink. She is very happy and puts it in her pile. + +Ben sees Sara's shell and wants it. He thinks it is the prettiest shell ever. He waits until Sara is not looking and takes the shell from her pile. He puts it in his pocket and runs away. + +Sara looks for her shell and cannot find it. She is very sad and angry. She thinks someone stole her shell. She cries and tells her mom. + +Mom sees Ben with the shell in his pocket. She knows he took it from Sara. She is very mad at him. She tells him to give the shell back to Sara and say sorry. + +Ben feels bad. He knows he did a bad thing. He gives the shell back to Sara and says sorry. Sara is still sad, but she forgives him. She says they can share the shell and play together. Ben and Sara hug and make up. Mom is proud of them. They all have fun on the beach. +Lily and Ben are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They are happy and laugh. + +But then a big dog comes. The dog is black and has long fur. The dog is hungry and cold. He sees the snowman and thinks it is food. He runs to the snowman and bites the hat and the scarf. He pulls and pulls. + +"Hey, stop!" Lily shouts. "That is our snowman! Go away, bad dog!" + +But the dog does not listen. He wants the hat and the scarf. He cuts the scarf with his teeth. He makes a hole in the hat. He growls and shakes his head. + +Ben is angry and scared. He picks up a stick and throws it at the dog. "Leave our snowman alone!" he yells. "You are mean and rude!" + +The stick hits the dog on the nose. The dog is hurt and surprised. He drops the hat and the scarf. He runs away, barking. + +Lily and Ben hug each other. They are glad the dog is gone. They fix their snowman. They put the hat and the scarf back on. They smile and say, "We love our snowman. He is warm and nice." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they meet a big dog. The dog is fierce. It barks and growls at them. Lily and Tom are scared. + +They run to the exit. But the dog runs after them. It is faster than them. It catches up with them. It jumps on Tom and bites his leg. Tom cries out loud. + +Lily sees a stick. She picks it up. She hits the dog with the stick. The dog lets go of Tom. It yelps and runs away. Lily helps Tom get up. They hug each other. + +They see a lady. She is the dog's owner. She is sorry. She says the dog is not bad. It is just scared of new people. She gives Tom a band-aid for his leg. She says sorry again. + +Lily and Tom forgive her. They say goodbye to her and the dog. They go home. They are brave. They are still friends. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a big box. The box has many things inside. Some things are old and dirty. Some things are shiny and new. + +"Look, Tom, a bulb!" Sara says. She picks up a round thing with a wire. It is a bulb. She remembers that bulbs can make light. + +"Can we use it?" Tom asks. He is curious. He wants to see the light. + +"I don't know. We need something else. Maybe a lamp or a battery," Sara says. She looks around the box. She sees a small lamp. It has a hole for the bulb. + +"Here, Sara, a lamp!" Tom says. He gives the lamp to Sara. Sara puts the bulb in the hole. She tries to turn it on. But nothing happens. + +"Why doesn't it work?" Sara asks. She is sad. She wants to see the light. + +"Maybe the bulb is broken. Or maybe the lamp is broken. Or maybe we need a battery," Tom says. He thinks hard. He sees a battery in the box. It is a big battery. It has two wires. + +"Maybe this can help," Tom says. He takes the battery. He connects one wire to the lamp and one wire to the bulb. He hopes it will work. + +Suddenly, the bulb makes light. It is a mild light. It is not too bright and not too dark. It is a nice light. + +"Wow, Tom, you did it!" Sara says. She is happy. She claps her hands. + +"Wow, Sara, we did it!" Tom says. He is happy. He smiles. + +They play with the light. They make shadows with their hands. They have fun. They are proud. They used a bulb, a lamp and a battery. They made light. +Anna and Ben like to help Mom bake cookies. They put on aprons and wash their hands. Mom gives them a big bowl and a spoon. She says, "We need to measure the flour and the sugar. Can you help me?" + +Anna and Ben nod and smile. They take turns to scoop flour and sugar from the jars. They pour them into the bowl. Mom shows them how to use a cup to measure the right amount. They are careful not to spill. + +Mom says, "Now we need to add the butter and the eggs. Can you crack the eggs for me?" Anna and Ben try to crack the eggs on the edge of the bowl. They tap them gently and then pull them apart. Sometimes the shells fall into the bowl. Mom helps them to pick them out. + +Mom says, "Good job! Now we need to use the mixer to make the dough. The mixer is loud and fast. It can hurt you if you touch it. You have to stay back and watch me." Anna and Ben nod and step back. Mom plugs in the mixer and turns it on. It makes a whirring noise and the dough starts to swirl. Anna and Ben watch with wide eyes. They see the flour and the sugar and the butter and the eggs become one. + +Mom says, "The dough is ready! Now we can make the cookies. Can you help me roll the dough and cut out the shapes?" Anna and Ben nod and clap. They take some dough and roll it on the table. They use cookie cutters to make stars and hearts and circles. They put them on a baking sheet. Mom puts the sheet in the oven. She says, "The cookies will be done soon. Then we can eat them and share them with Dad. You are such good helpers. I love you." Anna and Ben hug Mom and say, "We love you too, Mom. And we love cookies!" +Lily liked to read books. She read books about animals, and stars, and colors. She read books every day, and learned many things. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy playing with a ball. She wanted to play with him, but he did not want to share. He said, "This is my ball. Go away!" + +Lily felt sad. She went to a bench and took out a book. She read a story about a lion and a mouse. The lion was big and strong, but he needed the help of the mouse, who was small and weak. The mouse saved the lion from a trap, and they became friends. + +Lily liked the story. She thought, "Maybe the boy will be my friend if I help him." She looked at the boy, and saw that his ball was stuck in a tree. He could not reach it. He was crying. + +Lily went to the boy and said, "I can help you. I have a book. We can use it to get your ball." She showed him her book, and he nodded. They put the book on the ground, and Lily stood on it. She stretched her arm, and grabbed the ball. She gave it to the boy, and he smiled. + +"Thank you!" he said. "You are very nice. Do you want to play with me?" + +"Yes, I do!" Lily said. "Can I read you my book?" + +"Sure!" he said. "I like books, too. What is it about?" + +"It is about life," Lily said. "Life is when you help others, and make friends, and have fun. Life is yummy!" + +They sat on the bench, and Lily read him the story. They laughed, and played, and shared. They learned that books are good, and life is yummy, and friends are better than balls. +Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. Sometimes they saw birds and squirrels and butterflies. They also had a porch where they could sit and swing and read books. + +One day, they found an ancient book on the porch. It was very old and dusty and had many pictures. They opened it and saw stories about knights and dragons and fairies. They wanted to read it, but the words were too hard for them. + +"Let's pretend we are in the book," said Tom. "I will be a brave knight and you will be a fairy princess." + +"OK," said Mia. "But where is the dragon?" + +They looked around and saw a big shadow on the wall. It looked like a dragon with wings and claws and fire. They were scared and ran to the porch. + +"It's a dragon!" they shouted. "Help!" + +But when they got to the porch, they saw that the shadow was not a dragon. It was their dog, Rex, who was sleeping on the porch. He had a blanket on him that looked like wings. He was snoring and making noises that sounded like fire. + +They laughed and hugged Rex. He woke up and licked their faces. He was not a dragon, he was their friend. + +"Rex, you are a silly dog," said Tom. "You are not a dragon, you are a hero." + +"Yes, you are," said Mia. "You are the best dog in the world." + +They cuddled with Rex on the porch and read the ancient book together. They learned some new words and imagined many adventures. They were happy and sleepy. Soon they fell asleep on the porch, with Rex by their side. They dreamed of knights and dragons and fairies. +Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a tall man with a big bag. He looked at them and smiled. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you want to see something fun?" he asked. + +Tom and Sue were curious. They nodded and followed him. He took them to his car and opened the bag. Inside, there were many toys and candies. + +"These are for you. You can have them if you come with me. I will take you to a nice country where you can play all day," he said. + +Tom and Sue were happy. They liked toys and candies. They did not mind going with him. They got into his car and he drove away. + +But the tall man was not nice. He was bad. He did not take them to a nice country. He took them to a dark place where there were no toys and candies. He locked them in a room and said he would sell them to other bad people. + +Tom and Sue were scared. They cried and shouted for help. But no one heard them. They wished they had not followed the tall man. They wished they had stayed in the park. They wished they had minded their parents. But it was too late. They never saw their parents or the park again. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play pretend. Today, they are playing store. Lily is the store lady. Ben is the lawyer. He has a big hat and a briefcase. + +Ben comes to the store. He wants to buy a cake. Lily says, "Hello, lawyer. What do you want?" + +Ben says, "I want a cake. A big cake. How much is it?" + +Lily looks at the cake. She says, "The cake is five dollars. Do you have money?" + +Ben opens his briefcase. He has paper and crayons. He says, "I have money. Look. I made it." + +Lily says, "That is not money. That is paper. You cannot buy a cake with paper." + +Ben says, "Yes, I can. I am a lawyer. I can do anything." + +Lily says, "No, you cannot. You are a silly lawyer. You need real money." + +Ben gets angry. He says, "I am not silly. You are mean. Give me the cake." + +He tries to grab the cake. But he is clumsy. He drops his hat and his briefcase. The cake falls on the floor. It breaks into pieces. + +Lily and Ben look at the cake. They are sad. They say, "Oh no. The cake is ruined." + +They start to cry. Mom hears them. She comes to the store. She sees the mess. She says, "What happened here?" + +Lily and Ben say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were playing store. But we had a fight. And we broke the cake." + +Mom says, "It's okay, my loves. I know you were playing. But you have to be careful. And you have to share. And you have to use nice words." + +She hugs them. She says, "How about we make a new cake together? And we can eat it with some milk. And we can play something else. What do you think?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Yes, Mom. That sounds good. We love you, Mom." + +They smile. They go to the kitchen. They make a new cake. They eat it with milk. They play something else. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toy vehicles. Lily had a red car and Ben had a gray truck. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving on the road. + +"Beep beep! Move out of the way, car!" Ben said, pushing his truck forward. + +"No, you move, truck! You are too big and slow!" Lily said, pulling her car back. + +They started to argue and bump their vehicles into each other. They did not see the big dog that was running towards them. The dog was curious and wanted to play with the toys. + +"Wow, look at that dog!" Ben said, stopping his truck. + +"He is so big and fluffy!" Lily said, forgetting her car. + +The dog reached the vehicles and sniffed them. He liked the gray truck and decided to take it. He grabbed it with his mouth and ran away. + +"Hey, that's my truck! Give it back, dog!" Ben shouted, chasing the dog. + +"Ben, wait! It's not safe!" Lily cried, following Ben. + +They ran after the dog, but he was too fast and disappeared behind some trees. Ben and Lily stopped and looked around. They did not know where they were. They felt scared and lost. + +"Ben, I want to go home!" Lily said, hugging her car. + +"Me too, Lily. But where is home?" Ben said, wiping his tears. + +They heard a loud honk and saw a big gray vehicle coming towards them. It was a bus. The bus driver saw the children and stopped. He opened the door and smiled. + +"Hello, kids. Are you lost?" he asked. + +"Yes, we are. We were playing with our toys and a dog took my truck and ran away. And then we followed him and got lost," Ben said. + +"That's too bad. But don't worry, I can help you. Where do you live?" the bus driver asked. + +"We live on Maple Street, near the park," Lily said. + +"OK, then. Hop on, I'll take you there. And maybe you'll find your truck on the way," the bus driver said. + +"Thank you, mister!" Ben and Lily said, getting on the bus. + +They sat on the front seats and looked out the window. They hoped to see the dog and the truck, but they did not. They felt sad, but also glad that they had found a nice person to help them. They learned a lesson that day: to be careful with their toys and not to wander off. +Lily likes to ride the bus with her mom. She likes to look out the window and see the cars and the trees and the people. She likes to wave at the dogs and the birds and the flowers. + +One day, the bus is very fast. It goes zoom, zoom, zoom on the road. Lily feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She smiles and laughs and claps her hands. + +But then, the bus stops. There is a big red light. The bus driver says, "We have to wait. The light is red. Red means stop." + +Lily is sad. She does not like to wait. She wants to go zoom, zoom, zoom again. She looks out the window and sees a big truck. The truck has many lights. The lights are yellow and blue and green. They blink, blink, blink. + +Lily thinks the lights are pretty. She likes to watch them blink, blink, blink. She blinks her eyes too. She pretends she is a truck. She says, "Beep, beep, beep." + +Her mom sees her and smiles. She says, "You are a silly truck, Lily. You are very cute." + +Lily giggles and hugs her mom. She says, "I love you, mom. I love the bus. I love the lights." + +The light turns green. The bus driver says, "We can go now. The light is green. Green means go." + +The bus goes zoom, zoom, zoom again. Lily is happy. She waves at the truck and says, "Bye, bye, truck. Thank you for the lights." + +The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Lily has a new toy. It is a doll with long hair and a pink dress. Lily is happy. She wants to show Ben her new toy. + +Lily goes to Ben's house. She knocks on the door. Ben opens the door. He sees Lily and her new toy. He says hello. He likes the doll. He asks Lily if he can play with it. Lily says yes. She gives Ben the doll. + +Ben and Lily play with the doll. They make her talk and dance and sing. They have fun. But then, Ben pulls the doll's hair too hard. The hair comes off. The doll is broken. Lily is sad. She cries. She wants her new toy back. + +Ben is sorry. He says he did not mean to break the doll. He says he will fix it. He looks for glue and tape. He tries to stick the hair back on the doll. But it does not work. The doll is still broken. Ben is sad too. + +Lily and Ben hug. They say they are still friends. They say they will find a way to fix the doll. They ask Ben's mom for help. Ben's mom says she will take the doll to the toy store. She says they can get a new doll or a different toy. She says it will take a week. Lily and Ben say thank you. They wait for a week. They hope the doll will be okay. +Lily and Tom were playing with their dolls. Lily had a pretty doll with long hair and a pink dress. Tom had a rag doll with a button eye and a torn shirt. Lily liked her doll very much, but she did not like Tom's doll. + +"Your doll is ugly," Lily said to Tom. "She has a hole in her shirt and a thread hanging from her hair. She looks like a scarecrow." + +Tom felt sad and angry. He loved his doll, even if she was old and worn. He had made her with his grandma, who gave him the button and the thread. He did not want Lily to tease him. + +"That's not nice, Lily," Tom said. "My doll is not ugly. She is special. Grandma gave her to me. She said she has a lot of stories to tell. Your doll is boring. She only has a pretty face." + +Lily felt hurt and mad. She did not think her doll was boring. She had bought her with her mom, who said she was the most beautiful doll in the store. She did not want Tom to tease her. + +"Well, my doll can do many things," Lily said. "She can sing and dance and talk. Your doll can only sit and stare. She has no voice and no fun." + +Tom and Lily started to argue. They raised their voices and pulled their dolls. They did not want to share or play together. They only wanted to tease each other. + +Then, they heard a loud voice. + +"Stop it, you two!" It was their mom, who had heard the noise. She came into the room and saw the mess. She saw the dolls and the thread and the tears. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over your dolls? They are both lovely and they are both yours. You should be kind and respectful to each other and to your toys. You should not tease or hurt anyone. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They felt sorry and ashamed. They knew their mom was right. They hugged their dolls and each other. They said they were sorry and they would not tease again. They decided to play nicely and to listen to their dolls' stories. They learned that every doll and every person is beautiful in their own way. +One day, a nice cat named Tim was driving his little red car. He liked to drive fast, but today he was driving slow.

The jar fell to the floor and broke. + +Sue and Max looked at the broken jar. Inside, they found something spicy. Sue tasted it and said, "Yuck! This is not candy. It's too spicy!"

She pours the milk into the cups and adds the chocolate powder. She stirs it with a spoon. She gives a cup to Anna and one to herself. They sit on the couch and drink the hot chocolate. Anna says it is yummy. Mom says it is a good way to end a rainy day. They hug and smile. Anna loves her mom. +Lily liked to make dolls with her mom. They used cloth, stuffing, buttons and needles. Lily was careful with the needles. She knew they were sharp and could hurt her. + +One day, Lily saw a pretty dress in a magazine. It was pink and shiny and had flowers on it. Lily wanted to make a dress like that for her doll. She asked her mom if she could use some of the cloth they had. Her mom said yes, but she had to finish her homework first. + +Lily did her homework quickly. She ran to the closet and took out the cloth. She found a pink one and a shiny one. She cut them with scissors and tried to sew them together. But it was hard. The cloth was slippery and the needle was small. Lily got frustrated. She pulled the cloth too hard and it tore. She dropped the needle and it poked her finger. She cried. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw the torn cloth, the dropped needle and the bleeding finger. She hugged Lily and said it was okay. She took her to the bathroom and washed her finger. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it. She said she was sorry that Lily's dress did not work out. She said they could try again another day. + +Lily felt better. She said she was sorry for making a mess. She said she wanted to make a pretty dress for her doll. Her mom smiled and said her doll was already pretty. She said she loved Lily and her doll. She said they could make a simple dress with some buttons and ribbons. Lily liked that idea. She said she loved her mom and her doll too. They went back to the closet and picked out some attractive cloth. They made a simple dress with some buttons and ribbons. Lily's doll looked lovely. Lily was happy. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big pond with many ducks. They wanted to feed the ducks some bread, so they ran to the pond with a bag. + +But when they got to the pond, they saw a sign that said "No bread for ducks". They did not know what the sign meant, so they ignored it and threw some bread to the ducks. The ducks were happy and ate the bread. + +But soon, the ducks started to feel sick. They could not swim or fly well. They made sad noises and shivered in the cold water. Anna and Ben felt sorry for the ducks. They did not know they had hurt them. + +Then, they saw a lady who worked at the pond. She was wearing a hat and a coat. She had a bucket and a net. She was trying to help the ducks. She told Anna and Ben that bread was bad for ducks. It made them sick and fat. She said they should only give them seeds or lettuce. + +Anna and Ben felt ashamed. They said they were sorry and asked how they could help. The lady smiled and gave them some seeds and lettuce. She said they could feed the ducks with those instead. She said they were good friends for caring about the ducks. + +Anna and Ben fed the ducks with the seeds and lettuce. The ducks liked them and felt better. They swam and flew in the pond. They were graceful and happy. Anna and Ben watched them and smiled. They learned that they should always read and follow the signs. They also learned that they should be kind to animals and not give them things that hurt them. They hugged the lady and thanked her for teaching them. They promised to be good friends to the ducks. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They put on their boots, hats, and coats. They say bye to Mom and go to the yard. + +They see a big snowman. He has a carrot nose, a scarf, and a hat. Lily and Ben want to make him smile. They look for a stick. They find one under a tree. + +"Look, Ben, I have a stick!" Lily says. "Let's make a mouth for the snowman." + +"OK, Lily, let's do it!" Ben says. They run to the snowman. They make a hole in his face. They put the stick in the hole. They twist it to make a curve. + +"Wow, Lily, he looks happy now!" Ben says. "He has a big smile!" + +"Yes, Ben, he does!" Lily says. "He likes us!" + +They hug the snowman. They hear Mom calling them. "Lily, Ben, come inside! It's time for lunch!" + +They say bye to the snowman. They run to the house. They are hungry and cold. They are also happy. They had fun with the snowman. +Tom and Jen are friends. They live in a big city with many cars and people. They like to play in the park and look at the birds and flowers. + +One day, they find a broken toy car in the grass. It is red and shiny, but one wheel is missing. Tom and Jen wonder who left it there. They think it is sad that the car has no home. + +They decide to take the car with them and look for a new wheel. They walk around the city and ask many people, but no one has a wheel that fits. They see many other cars, but they are not toys. They are big and loud and fast. + +Tom and Jen are tired and hungry. They sit on a bench and share a sandwich. They look at the broken toy car and feel sorry for it. They wish they could fix it and make it happy. + +Then, they see a boy walking by with a big smile. He has a toy car in his hand. It is red and shiny, and it has four wheels. It looks just like the broken car, but whole. The boy sees Tom and Jen and stops. He looks at the broken car and his eyes widen. + +"Hey, that's my car!" he says. "I lost it in the park yesterday. I was so sad. Where did you find it?" + +Tom and Jen are surprised. They tell the boy how they found the car and tried to help it. The boy is happy and grateful. He thanks them and hugs them. + +"Can I have my car back?" he asks. "It belongs to me. I love it very much." + +Tom and Jen nod. They are glad that the car has a home and a friend. They give the car back to the boy and smile. + +"Bye, car," they say. "We hope you are happy now." + +The boy waves and runs away with his car. Tom and Jen hold hands and walk back to the park. They are happy, too. They have each other. They belong together. +Anna loves to paint. She has many colors and brushes. She likes to paint animals and trees and flowers. She wants to see more animals. She asks her mom to take her to the zoo. + +Mom says yes. They go to the zoo. Anna sees many animals. She sees lions and monkeys and elephants. She sees a big black bear. She likes the bear. She wants to paint the bear. She asks mom for her paints and paper. + +Mom gives Anna her paints and paper. Anna sits on a bench. She paints the bear. She paints it black and brown. She paints its eyes and nose and mouth. She paints its fur and claws. She is happy with her painting. + +But the bear is not happy. The bear sees Anna painting. The bear thinks Anna is making fun of it. The bear does not like that. The bear gets angry. The bear roars and jumps. The bear breaks the fence. The bear runs to Anna. + +Anna is scared. She drops her painting. She screams. Mom grabs Anna. They run away. The zookeepers come. They catch the bear. They put it back in its cage. They fix the fence. They are sorry.

She does not paint angry bears anymore. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They saw a big jar of honey on the shelf. They wanted to taste it, but they knew they had to ask Mom first. + +They waited for Mom to go to the bathroom, then they climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. They opened it and poured some honey on a plate. It was sticky and sweet. They licked their fingers and smiled. + +But they poured too much honey, and it dripped on the floor. They did not see it, and they ran to the living room to watch TV. They left the jar open and the plate on the table. + +Mom came back and saw the mess. She was angry and sad. She called Tom and Lily and asked them what they did. They were scared and sorry. They told her the truth and said they were sorry. + +Mom hugged them and said she was grateful that they were honest, but they had to learn to be careful and respectful. She said honey was not a toy, and they had to ask before they took anything. She said they had to clean up the mess and help her make some cookies with the honey. + +Tom and Lily nodded and said they understood. They helped Mom clean up the kitchen and make the cookies. They learned their lesson and said thank you to Mom. They ate the cookies and shared them with their friends. They were happy and proud. +Anna and Ben were going on a big trip with Mom and Dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed their bags and toys and got in the car. They drove to the airport and got out. + +But then Mom said, "Oh no! I forgot something!" She looked in her bag and did not see her passport. A passport is a paper that lets you go to other places. Mom said, "We have to go back home and get it. Hurry!" + +Anna and Ben were sad and worried. They did not want to miss the plane. They got back in the car and drove fast. But there was a lot of traffic and noise. They saw many cars and trucks and buses and bikes. They saw people and dogs and cats and birds. They saw wild things too, like a lion and a monkey and a snake. They were in a zoo! + +Anna and Ben liked the zoo, but they wanted to go to the plane. They asked Mom, "Are we going to miss the plane?" Mom said, "I hope not. We have to find the passport first." + +They got to their house and ran inside. Mom looked everywhere for the passport. She looked in the kitchen and the living room and the bedroom and the bathroom. She looked under the sofa and behind the curtain and in the closet and in the drawer. She could not find it. + +Anna and Ben helped Mom look. They looked in their bags and toys and books and puzzles. They looked under the bed and behind the door and in the box and in the basket. They could not find it either. + +They were very sad and scared. They thought they would miss the plane and the big trip. They hugged Mom and said, "We love you, Mom. We are sorry you lost your passport." + +Mom hugged them back and said, "I love you too, Anna and Ben. You are very sweet and helpful. But I did not lose my passport. I found it!" + +She showed them the passport. It was in her pocket all along. She said, "I put it there so I would not forget it. But I forgot I put it there. Silly me!" + +Anna and Ben were very happy and relieved. They said, "Yay! You found your passport! Let's go to the plane!" + +They got back in the car and drove to the airport. They got out and ran to the gate. They saw the plane. It was big and shiny and had wings and a tail. They gave their tickets and passports to the lady. She smiled and said, "You made it! Have a nice trip!" + +Anna and Ben got on the plane with Mom and Dad. They found their seats and buckled their belts. They looked out the window and saw the sky and the clouds and the sun.

They had their bags and toys and books and puzzles. They had their Mom and Dad and each other. They had their passport. They were ready for a wild adventure. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the woods. They had a big dog named Max who followed them everywhere. One day, they saw a deer in the grass. It was brown and white and had big ears and a long nose. It looked very soft and gentle. + +"Wow, look at the deer!" Tom said. "Can we pet it, Max?" + +Max barked and wagged his tail. He wanted to play with the deer too. He ran towards it, making loud noises. + +"Max, no!" Lily shouted. "The deer will be scared of you!" + +But it was too late. The deer saw Max and got frightened. It jumped up and ran away into the trees. Tom and Lily chased after it, hoping to see it again. + +They ran and ran, but they could not find the deer. They only saw more trees and bushes and rocks. They did not know where they were. They were lost. + +"Tom, I'm scared," Lily said. "Where is our home? Where is Max?" + +Tom tried to be brave, but he was scared too. He did not know how to get back. He hugged his sister and said, "Don't worry, Lily. We will find our way. Maybe we will see the deer again and it will help us." + +They gazed around, looking for a sign of the deer or Max or their home. They hoped someone would find them soon. They did not know that Max had run back to their house and barked to their mom and dad, telling them that Tom and Lily were in trouble. They did not know that their parents were on their way to rescue them. They did not know that the deer was watching them from behind a tree, feeling sorry for them and wishing it could help. +Ben was a very obedient boy. He always did what his mom and dad told him to do. He ate his food, he brushed his teeth, he put away his toys, and he went to bed on time. + +One night, Ben had a dream. He dreamed that he was a big lion in a faraway town. He roared and ran and played with other lions. He had so much fun that he did not want to wake up. + +But then he heard a loud noise. It was his alarm clock. It was time to get up and go to school. Ben opened his eyes and yawned. He felt sleepy and grumpy. He did not want to leave his dream. + +He looked at his mom, who smiled and hugged him. She said, "Good morning, Ben. I know you had a nice dream, but it's time to start a new day. You can tell me about your dream later. Now, let's get ready for school." + +Ben nodded and got out of bed. He was still a little sad, but he was also a very obedient boy. He did what his mom told him to do. He ate his breakfast, he brushed his teeth, he packed his backpack, and he went to school. He hoped that he would see his lion friends again in his next dream. +Lily and Ben were playing with their dolls. Lily had a doll with blue eyes and Ben had a doll with brown eyes. Lily liked her doll very much, but she wanted to see how it looked with brown eyes. + +"Ben, can I try your doll's eyes?" Lily asked. + +"No, you can't. They are mine. Go away!" Ben said. He was very rude to Lily. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She waited until Ben was not looking and took his doll. She pulled out the brown eyes and put them in her doll. Then she replaced the blue eyes in Ben's doll. She thought her doll looked better now. + +"Hey, what did you do?" Ben shouted when he saw his doll. He saw the blue eyes and knew Lily had changed them. He was very mad at Lily. + +"You are a bad girl! You took my eyes! Give them back!" Ben said. He grabbed Lily's doll and tried to pull out the brown eyes. + +"Stop it! You are hurting my doll!" Lily said. She tried to hold on to her doll. They both pulled and tugged until the dolls' heads came off. + +They looked at the broken dolls and started to cry. They realized they had done a bad thing. They wished they had not been rude and had shared their eyes. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to fix their dolls and play nicely. They learned to be happy with what they had. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big log on the ground. Ben said, "Let's balance on the log. It will be fun." Lily nodded and followed him. + +They took turns to walk on the log, holding their arms out to keep steady. Sometimes they wobbled and laughed. Sometimes they pretended to be birds or planes. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they saw a wild dog running towards them. It was big and dirty and had a rag in its mouth. It barked and growled and showed its teeth. Ben and Lily were scared. They jumped off the log and ran to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, there's a wild dog!" they cried. Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. Where is the dog?" She looked around and saw the dog. It was not a wild dog. It was a friendly dog. It had a rag in its mouth because it was playing fetch with its owner. + +The owner came and said, "Sorry, my dog didn't mean to scare you. He just wanted to play. His name is Spot. Do you want to pet him?" Ben and Lily looked at the dog. He wagged his tail and licked his nose. He looked nice. Ben and Lily nodded and said, "OK." They petted the dog and gave him the rag. He was happy. Ben and Lily were happy too. They made a new friend. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, their mom gave them a shiny gold coin each. She said, "This is a special gift for you, because you behaved very well this week. You can keep it or buy something with it, but don't lose it or fight over it." + +Anna and Ben were happy and thanked their mom. They put their coins in their pockets and went to the park. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They decided to play in the sandbox first. They took out their coins and made holes in the sand to hide them. + +But then, a big boy came and saw their coins. He wanted to take them. He said, "Hey, what are those? Give them to me, they are mine!" + +Anna and Ben were scared and said, "No, they are not yours, they are ours! Mom gave them to us, go away!" + +The big boy was angry and tried to grab their coins. He pushed Anna and Ben and made them fall. He took their coins and ran away. + +Anna and Ben were sad and hurt. They cried and called for their mom. Their mom came and saw what happened. She was angry too. She said, "That was very mean and wrong of him. He should not take things that are not his. I'm sorry, my loves, I'll try to get your coins back." + +She hugged Anna and Ben and took them to the big boy's mom. She told her what he did and asked for the coins back. The big boy's mom was ashamed and sorry. She scolded her son and made him apologize and return the coins. She said, "You should behave better and be nice to others. You can't just take what you want. How would you feel if someone did that to you?" + +The big boy was sorry too. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna and Ben. I was greedy and rude. I won't do it again. Can you forgive me?" + +Anna and Ben were still upset, but they forgave him. They said, "It's okay, we forgive you. But don't do it again, or we'll tell our mom." + +They took their coins and went back to the sandbox. They played together and shared their toys. They were happy again. Their mom was proud of them. She said, "You are very brave and kind, Anna and Ben. I love you very much. You are my gold." +Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play games. They were very competitive and always wanted to win. One day, they decided to have a prune-eating contest. They asked their mom to give them a bowl of prunes each and a glass of water. + +"Ready, set, go!" Tom shouted and started to eat the prunes as fast as he could. Mia did the same, but she did not like the taste of the prunes. They were sour and wrinkly and made her mouth dry. She tried to drink some water, but Tom said, "No, that's cheating! You have to eat the prunes first!" + +Mia felt sad and angry. She wanted to beat Tom, but she also wanted to stop eating the prunes. She looked at Tom and saw that he was eating the prunes very quickly. He had only a few left in his bowl. Mia had many more. She felt like giving up. + +But then, she noticed something. Tom was not looking happy. He was looking sick. His face was pale and his eyes were watery. He was holding his tummy and making funny noises. He was trembling. + +"Mia, I don't feel good," Tom said in a weak voice. "I ate too many prunes. They hurt my tummy." + +Mia felt sorry for Tom. She forgot about the contest and ran to him. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tom. I'll help you. Let's go to mom. She'll make you feel better." + +Tom nodded and smiled. He was glad that Mia was his sister. He said, "Thank you, Mia. You're the best. I'm sorry I was mean to you. You can have the rest of my prunes if you want." + +Mia shook her head and said, "No, thank you, Tom. I don't like prunes either. Let's play something else next time. Something that doesn't make us sick." + +They both laughed and walked to their mom. They learned a lesson that day. Prunes are good for you, but not too many. And being competitive is fun, but not more important than being kind. +Tim and Mia were playing with a ball in the living room. They liked to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball bounced on the floor or the sofa. They laughed when that happened. + +But one time, Tim threw the ball too hard and Mia could not catch it. The ball flew past Mia and hit the window. The window made a loud noise and cracked. Tim and Mia stopped laughing and looked at the window. They saw a big spider web of glass on the window. They felt scared and guilty. + +"Uh-oh," Tim said. "We broke the window." + +"What do we do?" Mia asked. "Mom and Dad will be mad." + +They heard footsteps on the stairs. It was Mom and Dad coming home. Tim and Mia ran to the door and hugged them. + +"Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad. We love you," they said. + +Mom and Dad smiled and hugged them back. Then they saw the window. + +"What happened to the window?" Mom asked. + +Tim and Mia looked at each other. They did not want to lie, but they did not want to get in trouble. + +"We were playing with the ball," Tim said. + +"And I kicked it by mistake," Mia said. + +"And it hit the window," Tim said. + +"And it broke," Mia said. + +They looked down and waited for Mom and Dad to yell. + +But Mom and Dad did not yell. They looked at the window and then at Tim and Mia. They saw their guilty faces and their sorry eyes. + +They sighed and said, "We're glad you're honest with us. But you know you shouldn't play with the ball in the living room. It's dangerous and it can damage things. You need to be more careful and play outside or in your room." + +Tim and Mia nodded and said, "We're sorry, Mom. We're sorry, Dad. We won't do it again." + +Mom and Dad hugged them again and said, "We love you, too. But you have to help us fix the window. It will cost money and time. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Mia said, "Yes, we understand. We will help you fix the window." + +They felt a little better, but they still felt guilty. They learned their lesson and never played with the ball in the living room again. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. They had a big carpet in their room that had many colors and shapes. They pretended that the carpet was a magic flying carpet that could take them anywhere. + +One day, they decided to fly to the jungle, where they saw many animals and plants. They had fun looking at the monkeys, the birds, the snakes, and the flowers. But they did not see the big lion that was hiding behind a tree. The lion was hungry and wanted to eat them. + +The lion jumped out and roared loudly. Tom and Sam were very scared and tried to escape. They ran to their carpet and climbed on it. They shouted, "Carpet, fly away, fly away!" But the carpet did not move. It was stuck on a branch. + +The lion came closer and closer. He was very powerful and had sharp teeth and claws. He reached the carpet and tore it apart. He grabbed Tom and Sam and ate them. The carpet was no more. The lion was full and happy. The end. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they find a big cake on the table. It is round and pink and has white cream on top. It looks yummy. + +"Wow, look at the cake!" Sara says. "Can we have some?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Mom said we have to wait for her." + +"But I'm hungry," Sara says. "And the cake smells so good." + +They go closer to the cake and see a knife next to it. Sara has an idea. + +"Maybe we can cut a small piece," she says. "Just one inch. Mom won't notice." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He is hungry too, but he is also scared. + +"What if Mom gets mad?" he says. "What if she says we are bad?" + +Sara shakes her head. + +"No, she won't," she says. "She loves us. And it's only one inch. Come on, let's do it." + +She picks up the knife and cuts a small piece of cake. She gives half to Ben and takes half for herself. They bite into the cake and smile. It is yummy. + +"Mmm, this is good," Sara says. "Do you like it?" + +"Yes, I do," Ben says. "But we should eat fast. Mom will be back soon." + +They finish the cake and wipe their mouths. They put the knife back and move the blocks and cars to hide the gap in the cake. They hope Mom won't see it. + +They sit on the floor and play. They are happy. They don't know that Mom is watching them from the door. She sees the cake and the crumbs and the smiles. She shakes her head and smiles too. She loves them. And it's only one inch. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big box under a tree. It was a chest. It had a lock and a key. + +"Let's open it!" Lily said. "Maybe there is something nice inside." + +Tom was not sure. He looked around. He saw a sign on the tree. It said: "Do not touch. This chest belongs to Mr. Fox." + +"Maybe we should not open it," Tom said. "It is not ours. Mr. Fox might get angry." + +Lily did not listen. She took the key and put it in the lock. She turned it and opened the chest. + +Inside the chest, there was a big cake. It smelled good. It had cream and cherries on top. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. "Let's eat it!" + +Tom was scared. He heard a voice behind them. It was Mr. Fox. + +"Who opened my chest?" Mr. Fox asked. "Who took my cake?" + +Lily and Tom were caught. They did not know what to say. They did not answer. + +Mr. Fox was very angry. He took the cake and the chest. He told them to go away. + +Lily and Tom felt bad. They knew they did something wrong. They learned a lesson. + +They should not take what is not theirs. They should respect other people's things. They should answer when someone asks them a question. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big black dog. The dog is very friendly. He wags his tail and licks their faces. + +"Hello, dog!" Tom says. "What is your name?" + +The dog barks. He does not have a name. He does not have a home. He lives in the park. + +"Can we play with you?" Lily asks. "We can be your friends." + +The dog nods. He likes Tom and Lily. They throw a ball for him. He runs and catches it. He brings it back to them. They laugh and clap. + +The sun is warm. The grass is soft. Tom and Lily are tired. They lie down on the grass. The dog lies down next to them. He puts his head on Tom's chest. He closes his eyes. + +They are happy. They are a family. +Lily and Anna were playing with their dolls in the bedroom. They liked to dress them up and pretend they were going to a party. Lily found some makeup in her mom's drawer and wanted to try it on her doll. + +"Look, Anna, I have makeup for my doll. She will look so pretty," Lily said. + +Anna looked at the makeup and saw red, pink and brown colors. She wanted to use some too, but she was not sure if mom would be happy. + +"Can we use mom's makeup, Lily? What if she gets mad?" Anna asked. + +Lily shrugged and said, "It's okay, Anna. Mom is taking a nap. She won't know. Come on, let's make our dolls beautiful." + +Lily and Anna took some makeup and put it on their dolls' faces. They used too much and made a mess. The makeup was dry and hard to wipe off. They did not notice that they also got some on their own faces and clothes. + +They were having fun until they heard mom's voice from the hallway. + +"Lily, Anna, what are you doing in there? I heard some noise. Are you okay?" mom said. + +Lily and Anna looked at each other and felt scared. They knew they did something bad. They hid the makeup under the bed and tried to act normal. + +"We are just playing, mom. We are okay," Lily said. + +Mom opened the door and saw Lily and Anna with makeup all over them. She was shocked and angry. + +"Lily, Anna, what have you done? This is my makeup. You are not supposed to touch it. Look at the mess you made. You ruined your dolls and your clothes. How could you do this?" mom said. + +Lily and Anna started to cry. They felt sorry and ashamed. They did not mean to make mom mad. + +"We are sorry, mom. We just wanted to play. We thought you were taking a nap. We won't do it again," Anna said. + +Mom sighed and said, "I know you were just playing, but you have to ask me before you use my things. Makeup is not for little girls. It can hurt your skin and eyes. And you have to be careful with your dolls and clothes. They are not toys. They are expensive and hard to clean. Come on, let's go to the bathroom and wash off the makeup. Then we have to clean the bedroom and the dolls. And you have to take a nap too. You need some rest after this." + +Lily and Anna nodded and followed mom to the bathroom. They washed off the makeup and felt better. They said sorry to mom again and hugged her. Mom hugged them back and said she loved them. She helped them clean the bedroom and the dolls. Then she tucked them in their beds and kissed them goodnight. + +Lily and Anna fell asleep quickly. They dreamed of their dolls and their party. They hoped mom would not be mad at them anymore. They learned their lesson. They would not use mom's makeup again. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big ladder near a tree. They want to climb the ladder and see what is on the tree. + +"Who put the ladder here?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone who works in the park," Anna says. + +"Can we climb it?" Tom says. + +"Let's ask Mom first," Anna says. + +They run to Mom, who is sitting on a bench. They introduce the ladder to Mom. + +"Mom, this is the ladder. The ladder, this is Mom. Can we climb the ladder, please?" Tom says. + +Mom looks at the ladder. She sees that it is not very high and that it is stable. She also sees that the tree is empty. There are no birds or nests or fruits on the tree. + +"OK, you can climb the ladder, but be careful. And don't go too high. And stay where I can see you," Mom says. + +"Thank you, Mom!" Tom and Anna say. + +They run back to the ladder. They take turns to climb the ladder. They feel happy and excited. They look at the park from the ladder. They see the grass, the flowers, the swings, the slide, and the other children. They wave to Mom from the ladder. Mom waves back. They have fun on the ladder. They are good friends. +Lily loved spaghetti. She ate it every day for lunch. She liked to make long strings with her fork and slurp them up. She also liked to put cheese on top and make it melt. + +One day, Lily woke up and smelled something good. She ran to the kitchen and saw her mom cooking. "Mom, what are you making?" she asked. + +"I'm making spaghetti, honey. It's your favorite, right?" her mom said with a smile. + +Lily clapped her hands and jumped up and down. "Yes, yes, yes! I want spaghetti! Can I help you?" + +"Sure, you can help me. But first, you have to wash your hands and put on your apron. We don't want to make a mess, do we?" her mom said. + +Lily nodded and did what her mom said. She washed her hands and put on her apron. It was red and had a picture of a tomato on it. She thought it was very pretty. + +She helped her mom stir the sauce and grate the cheese. She also helped her mom set the table and put the plates and forks and napkins. She was very excited to eat her spaghetti. + +But then, something bad happened. Her big brother Tom came home from school. He was very hungry and very mean. He saw the spaghetti on the stove and grabbed a big spoon. He scooped up some spaghetti and put it in his mouth. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Lily shouted. "Mom made it for me!" + +Tom laughed and said, "Too bad, squirt. I'm bigger and faster than you. I can eat whatever I want. And this spaghetti is delicious. Mmm, mmm, mmm." + +He scooped up some more spaghetti and ate it. He also took some cheese and sprinkled it on his head. He made a silly face and said, "Look at me, I'm a cheese head. Ha, ha, ha." + +Lily was very angry and very sad. She started to cry. She ran to her mom and hugged her. "Mom, Tom is being stupid. He's eating my spaghetti and making a mess. He's ruining everything." + +Her mom frowned and said, "Tom, stop that right now. That's not nice. You have to share with your sister. And you have to clean up your mess. You're making a fool of yourself." + +Tom ignored her mom and kept eating and laughing. He thought he was very funny and smart. He didn't care about Lily or her mom. + +But then, something worse happened. He ate too much spaghetti and too fast. He started to feel sick. His stomach hurt and his mouth was dry. He felt something coming up his throat. He tried to swallow it, but he couldn't. + +He opened his mouth and spat out a big blob of spaghetti and cheese. It landed on his shirt and his face and his hair. It was gross and sticky and smelly. + +He looked at himself and said, "Uh-oh." + +Lily and her mom looked at him and said, "Ew." + +Tom felt very stupid and very sorry. He wished he hadn't been so mean and greedy. He wished he had listened to his mom and shared with his sister. He wished he had been nicer and smarter. + +He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, mom. I was stupid. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily and her mom looked at each other and nodded. They were kind and forgiving. They said, "It's okay, Tom. We forgive you. But you have to clean up your mess and say sorry to the spaghetti. And you have to wait until dinner to eat again. And you have to be nice to us from now on." + +Tom nodded and said, "I will, I promise. I love you, Lily. I love you, mom." + +He hugged them and said sorry to the spaghetti. He cleaned up his mess and went to his room. He felt better and learned his lesson. + +Lily and her mom smiled and hugged each other. They ate their spaghetti and enjoyed it. They also put some cheese on top and made it melt. They thought it was very yummy. + +They said, "We love spaghetti. And we love each other." +Sam was a hungry dog. He liked to eat meat and bones and cookies. He did not like to eat carrots or peas or apples. One day, he saw a big head on the grass. It was a head of lettuce. Sam thought it was a ball. He ran to the head and tried to bite it. + +But the head was not a ball. It was hard and green and bitter. Sam did not like it at all. He spat it out and made a face. He looked for something else to bite. He saw a cat on the fence. He barked and chased the cat. The cat was scared and ran away. + +Sam was still hungry. He went back to the house. He smelled something good in the kitchen. It was a pie. His mom had made a pie for dessert. Sam wanted to bite the pie. He jumped on the table and took a big bite. + +But the pie was not ready. It was hot and sweet and sticky. Sam did not like it either. He yelped and dropped the pie. He burned his mouth and made a mess. His mom was angry and shooed him away. + +Sam was sad and hungry. He went to his bed and lay down. He saw his toy. It was a bone. He liked his toy. He bit his toy and felt happy. He was not hungry anymore. He closed his eyes and dreamed of meat and bones and cookies. +Ben and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on it. They run to the slide and wait for their turn. + +Ben goes first. He climbs up the steps and sits on the slide. He raises his arms and shouts "Whee!" He slides down fast and lands on the ground. He is happy. + +Lily goes next. She climbs up the steps and sits on the slide. She raises her legs and laughs "Ha ha!" She slides down faster and lands on the ground. She is happier. + +They see a duck pond. They want to feed the ducks. They run to the pond and look for bread. + +Ben finds a piece of bread. He breaks it into small bits and throws them to the ducks. The ducks swim to the bread and eat it. They quack "Quack quack!" They raise their necks and look at Ben. They are hungry. + +Lily finds a bigger piece of bread. She breaks it into bigger bits and throws them to the ducks. The ducks swim to the bread and eat it. They quack louder "QUACK QUACK!" They raise their necks higher and look at Lily. They are hungrier. + +Ben and Lily have fun feeding the ducks. They laugh and clap their hands. They are the happiest. +Lily loves to wear her pink dress. It has flowers and butterflies on it. She feels like a princess when she wears it. She likes to twirl and dance in it. + +One day, she goes to the park with her mom and dad. She sees a girl who is sad. The girl has a hole in her dress. She has no friends to play with. Lily feels sorry for the girl. + +Lily goes to the girl and says hello. She asks her if she wants to play. The girl nods and smiles. Lily says she likes her dress. She says it is blue like the sky. She says she can fix the hole with a sticker. + +Lily takes out a sticker from her pocket. It is a star. She gives it to the girl. The girl puts it on her dress. She says thank you. She says Lily is kind. She says she likes her dress too. She says it is pink like a flower. + +Lily and the girl become friends. They play on the swings and the slide. They share their treats. They have fun. Lily is happy. She thinks wearing her pink dress was a good idea. She thinks being kind is a good idea too. +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They had fun throwing snowballs at each other. But soon they felt very cold and wet. + +"Let's go inside and have some hot cocoa," Lily said. + +"OK, but first I want to reach that branch over there. It has some shiny ice on it," Ben said. He pointed to a tall tree near the fence. + +Lily shook her head. "That's too high, Ben. You might fall and hurt yourself. Come on, let's go." + +But Ben did not listen. He ran to the tree and tried to climb it. He grabbed the branch with the ice, but it was slippery and he lost his balance. He fell down and landed on the hard ground. He cried out in pain. + +Lily heard him and ran to help him. She saw that he had a big bump on his head and a cut on his arm. She felt sorry for him. + +"Ben, are you OK?" she asked. + +"No, it hurts a lot," Ben said. He was shivering and scared. + +Lily wrapped him in her scarf and hugged him. She said, "Don't worry, Ben. I'll get Mom and Dad. They'll make you feel better." + +She ran to the house and knocked on the door. Mom and Dad opened it and saw Lily and Ben. They were worried and took them inside. They put them on the rug near the fireplace and gave them some hot cocoa and cookies. They cleaned Ben's wound and put a bandage on it. They kissed them and said, "We're glad you're OK, Ben. But you should have listened to Lily. She was right. It was too dangerous to reach that branch. You could have been hurt worse. Next time, be careful and follow your sister's advice. She loves you and wants you to be safe." + +Ben nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. I was silly and stubborn. Thank you for helping me and for being my sister. I love you too." + +Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, Ben. I'm happy you're OK. Let's play together nicely from now on." + +They hugged each other and enjoyed their hot cocoa and cookies. They learned their lesson and never tried to reach the icy branch again. +Anna and Ben love to go to the farm with Mom and Dad. They see cows, sheep, chickens and pigs. They also see many pumpkins. Some are small, some are big, and some are huge. + +One day, Mom and Dad say they can pick a pumpkin to take home. Anna and Ben are very happy. They run around the farm and look for the best pumpkin. They see a huge pumpkin that is orange and round. They want that one. + +But the huge pumpkin is too heavy for them to lift. They ask Mom and Dad for help. Mom and Dad say they have an idea. They go to the barn and get a big cart. They put the huge pumpkin on the cart and drive it to the car. Anna and Ben help to push the cart. + +They drive the huge pumpkin home and put it on the porch. They thank Mom and Dad for the fun day. They say they want to make a face on the pumpkin. Mom and Dad say they can do that tomorrow. They hug and kiss Anna and Ben and say good night. Anna and Ben go to bed and dream of the huge pumpkin. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were spies and had secret missions. They had a toy phone and a toy gun as their weapons. + +"Agent Tom, do you copy?" Lily spoke into the phone. "I have found the enemy base. It is behind the big slide." + +"Good job, Agent Lily. I am on my way. Be careful, they might have traps." Tom spoke back. He ran across the grass with his gun. + +Lily waited for Tom. She saw a man with a big bag walking towards the slide. She thought he was the enemy leader. She aimed her gun and shouted, "Freeze! You are under arrest!" + +The man was surprised and angry. He was not the enemy leader. He was a gardener who was carrying tools in his bag. He thought Lily was a rude and naughty child. He grabbed her gun and threw it away. He yelled, "What are you doing, you little brat? This is not a toy, it is a weapon. You could hurt someone. Go away and don't bother me!" + +Lily was scared and sad. She lost her weapon and her mission. She ran to Tom and cried. Tom was also scared and sad. He hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Agent Lily. We are not successful spies. We are bad children. We should go home and say sorry to our parents." +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They had a small bucket and a cheap shovel. They were having fun. + +"Look, Ben, I find a worm!" Lily said, holding up a wriggly thing. + +"Wow, let me see!" Ben said, reaching for the worm. + +But Lily did not want to share. She pulled the worm away and ran to the other side of the garden. + +"Hey, come back!" Ben said, chasing her. + +They ran past the old shed. The shed had a leak in the roof. When it rained, water dripped inside. Sometimes, Ben and Lily liked to go inside the shed and pretend it was a castle or a spaceship. + +But today, they did not notice the leak. They were too busy with the worm. They bumped into the shed and made a loud noise. + +CRASH! + +The leak got bigger. Water started to pour out of the roof. It splashed on Ben and Lily and the worm. + +"Ah, we are wet!" Lily said, dropping the worm. + +"Look, the shed is broken!" Ben said, pointing at the hole. + +They ran away from the shed. They were scared and cold and wet. They wanted to go inside the house. + +"Mommy, mommy, help!" they cried. + +Mommy heard them and came out. She saw the shed and the water and the worm. She was not happy. + +"What did you do?" she asked. + +"We are sorry, mommy," Ben and Lily said. + +"We were playing with a worm and we find a leak and we broke the shed," Ben said. + +"It was a cheap shovel," Lily said. + +Mommy sighed. She took them inside and gave them towels and cookies. She said they had to be more careful next time. She said she would fix the shed later. + +Ben and Lily said they were sorry again. They hugged mommy and ate their cookies. They decided to share the worm. They put it in a jar and gave it a name. + +They called it Leaky. +One day, a kid named Ben went to the park with his mom. He saw a big slide and wanted to try it. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He was very happy and excited. + +But when he reached the top, he saw another kid sitting on the slide. The other kid was bigger than Ben and had a mean face. He said, "This is my slide. Go away. You can't play here." + +Ben felt sad and scared. He wanted to slide, but he didn't want to fight. He looked at his mom, who was watching him from a bench. She smiled at him and said, "Ben, you can share the slide with the other kid. Sharing is good. It makes you and others happy." + +Ben nodded and took a deep breath. He said to the other kid, "Hi, I'm Ben. Can we slide together? It will be more fun." + +The other kid was surprised. He had never heard anyone say that to him before. He thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'm Sam. You can slide with me. But you go first." + +Ben smiled and thanked Sam. He slid down the slide and felt a warm glow in his heart. He had made a new friend. He waited for Sam at the bottom and said, "That was fun. Do you want to slide again?" + +Sam nodded and smiled back. He felt a warm glow in his heart too. He had learned to share. He followed Ben to the ladder and said, "Yes, let's slide again. And maybe we can play with the swings and the sandbox too." + +Ben and Sam played together for a long time. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. They were both cheerful and kind. Their moms were proud of them and happy to see them get along. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is good. It makes you and others happy. It can also help you make new friends. +Tim and Sue were playing with their snowman in the yard. They had made him with a big ball of snow for his body, a smaller ball for his head, a carrot for his nose, and two rocks for his eyes. They also gave him a hat and a scarf to keep him warm. + +"Look at our snowman, he is so cool!" Tim said. + +"Yes, he is. He is our friend!" Sue said. + +They hugged their snowman and smiled. + +But then, the sun came out and it got warmer. The snowman started to melt. His body got smaller and smaller, his nose fell off, and his eyes rolled away. His hat and scarf slipped to the ground. + +"Oh no, our snowman is melting!" Tim cried. + +"What can we do?" Sue asked. + +They tried to put the snowman back together, but it was too late. He was just a pile of wet snow. + +They felt very sad and embarrassed. They had worked so hard to make their snowman, and now he was gone. + +They heard a voice behind them. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" It was their dad. He had come home from work. + +He saw their melted snowman and their sad faces. + +He smiled and said, "Don't be sad, kids. You did a great job making your snowman. He was very nice and happy. But you know, snowmen don't last forever. They melt when it gets warm. That's how nature works. But you can always make another one when it snows again. And you can always remember your snowman in your hearts." + +Tim and Sue looked at their dad. They felt a little better. + +They nodded and said, "You're right, dad. Thank you." + +They hugged their dad and then each other. + +They learned that sometimes things change and we have to let them go. But we can always keep them in our memories and make new ones. They also learned that their dad loved them and was proud of them. They felt happy again. +Tom and Anna were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big box under a tree. They were curious and wanted to see what was inside. + +"Maybe it has toys or candy or something fun," Tom said. + +"Let's open it and find out," Anna said. + +They ran to the box and lifted the lid. They were surprised by what they saw. The box was full of green paper with numbers and faces on them. + +"What is this?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know, but it looks like a lot," Anna said. + +They heard a voice behind them. It was a man with a hat and a coat. He looked angry and scary. + +"Hey, you two, get away from my box! That's my money, and I worked hard to get it. I'm rich, and you're not. Give it back to me, now!" he shouted. + +Tom and Anna were scared and tried to run away, but the man was faster. He grabbed them by their arms and dragged them to his car. He threw them in the back seat and locked the doors. He got in the front seat and drove away. + +He had revealed his plan to them. He was a bad man who stole money from other people. He had hidden his money in the park, but Tom and Anna had found it by accident. Now he was going to take them to his hideout and make them work for him. + +Tom and Anna cried and wished they had never opened the box. They had made a big mistake. They did not know if they would ever see their families or the park again. They were in big trouble. +Lily liked to dance. She danced at home, at school, and at the park. She danced with her friends, her toys, and her dog. She danced when she was happy, sad, or bored. She loved to dance. + +One day, her teacher told her that there was a big show at the end of the year. All the children could dance on a stage. A stage was a big place where people could see you. Lily wanted to dance on the stage. She wanted to show everyone how well she could dance. + +She practiced every day. She learned how to turn, how to jump, and how to clap. She wore a pretty dress and a shiny bow. She felt attractive. Attractive meant that you looked nice. She wanted to look nice on the stage. + +The day of the show came. Lily was nervous. She saw many people in the seats. They were waiting to see the children dance. Lily went on the stage with her friends. The music started. Lily danced. She turned, she jumped, she clapped. She smiled. She had fun. + +The people in the seats clapped. They liked Lily's dance. They thought she was attractive. Lily was happy. She danced off the stage. She hugged her teacher and her friends. She was proud. She had danced on the stage. +Lily and Max were very excite to go to camp. They packed their bags with clothes, toys and snacks. They said goodbye to Mom and Dad and got on the big bus with their friends. + +At camp, they did many fun things. They played games, sang songs, made crafts and ate yummy food. They also slept in tents with their counselors. Lily and Max liked their tents, but they missed their home and their parents. + +One night, Lily and Max had an idea. They decided to sneak out of their tents and call Mom and Dad on the phone. They took the phone from their counselor's bag and ran to a quiet spot. They dialed the number and waited. + +"Hello?" Mom's voice said. + +"Hi, Mom!" Lily and Max said together. + +"Hi, sweeties! Is everything okay?" Mom asked. + +Lily and Max told Mom about their camp and how much fun they had. But they also said they were a little sad and wanted to hear her voice. + +Mom smiled and said she was happy to hear from them. She said she loved them and missed them too. She said they were brave and good kids and she was proud of them. She said they should go back to their tents and sleep well, and she would see them soon. + +Lily and Max felt better after talking to Mom. They said they loved her and hung up the phone. They ran back to their tents and put the phone in the counselor's bag. They hoped the counselor would not notice. + +But the counselor did notice. She saw the phone was not in the same place as before. She checked the call history and saw Lily and Max's number. She felt angry and disappointed. She went to their tents and asked them why they took the phone without permission. + +Lily and Max felt guilty. They looked down and said they were sorry. They said they just wanted to talk to Mom. + +The counselor sighed and said she understood. She said she missed her mom too. But she said they broke the rules and they had to face the consequences. She said they had to stay in their tents for the rest of the night and miss the campfire. + +Lily and Max nodded and said they were sorry again. They hugged the counselor and went inside their tents. They felt sad and ashamed. They wished they had not taken the phone. They learned their lesson. They decided to follow the rules and enjoy the rest of their camp. +Lily and Ben like to bake with Mom. They help Mom add flour, sugar, eggs and milk to a big bowl. They mix and mix with a spoon. Mom says they are making a cake. + +Mom pours the cake mix into a pan. She puts the pan in the oven. She tells Lily and Ben to wait for the cake to bake. They can smell the cake. It smells good. + +Lily and Ben play with their toys while they wait. They make funny noises and faces. They laugh and giggle. Mom smiles and watches them. She likes to see them happy. + +The oven makes a ding sound. Mom says the cake is ready. She takes the pan out of the oven.

They also took two guns from the box. The guns were not real, but they made loud noises when they pulled the trigger. + +They ran outside to the yard. They saw a big tree with a branch that looked like a horse. Tom climbed on the branch and pretended to ride. He held his gun in his hand and shouted, "Yee-haw!" Lily leaned on the trunk of the tree and watched. She also had a gun, but she did not like to make noise. She liked to be quiet and careful. + +Tom saw a bird on another branch. He pointed his gun at the bird and said, "Bang! Bang!" The bird flew away, scared. Tom laughed and said, "I got you, you pesky varmint!" Lily frowned and said, "No, Tom, that's not nice. You scared the bird. The bird is delicate and pretty. You should not shoot at it." + +Tom did not listen. He saw another bird on a different branch. He aimed his gun again and said, "Bang! Bang!" The bird also flew away, but this time, something else happened. The branch that Tom was sitting on broke. Tom fell to the ground with a thud. He dropped his gun and cried. He hurt his arm and his leg. + +Lily ran to Tom and helped him up. She said, "Are you okay, Tom? I'm sorry you fell. But you should not shoot at the birds. They are our friends. They sing and fly and make us happy. They are not for shooting." She gave him a hug and a kiss. She also gave him her gun and said, "Here, you can have my gun. But please be gentle with it. And with the birds. And with yourself." Tom nodded and said, "Okay, Lily. I'm sorry. I was silly. You are right. The birds are delicate and pretty. And you are kind and smart. And I love you." They hugged again and went inside to get a band-aid and a cookie. They decided to play something else. Something more fun and less noisy. +Lila liked to build with her blocks. She had many blocks of different colors and shapes. She could build houses, towers, bridges and anything she could dream of. She was very happy when she played with her blocks. + +One day, a new boy came to her school. His name was Ben. He also liked to build with blocks, but he only had black blocks. He said his blocks were better than Lila's blocks. He said black was the best color and the other colors were ugly. He did not want to share his blocks or play with Lila. + +Lila was sad and angry. She did not like Ben. She wanted to show him that her blocks were good too. She decided to build a big and beautiful castle with her blocks. She used all the colors and shapes she had. She worked hard and was proud of her castle. + +But Ben did not like Lila's castle. He said it was too bright and messy. He said it hurt his eyes. He wanted to make Lila cry. He waited until Lila was not looking and pushed her castle down. All the blocks fell and broke. Lila's castle was gone. + +Lila heard the noise and turned around. She saw her castle in pieces and Ben laughing. She felt a big pain in her heart. She started to cry. She ran to her teacher and told her what Ben did. The teacher was angry and scolded Ben. She made him say sorry to Lila and help her pick up the blocks. But Lila did not want to talk to Ben or play with him. She did not forgive him. She lost her dream and her joy. + +The moral of the story is: do not be mean to others or destroy their things. Respect their differences and be kind. You may lose their friendship and trust. +Anna and Ben love to play in the park. They like to run, slide, swing and climb. One day, they see a big puddle near the sandbox. They run to the puddle and jump in it. They splash and laugh and soak their shoes and socks. + +"Look, Anna, I found a frog!" Ben says, holding a green thing in his hand. + +"Wow, Ben, it is so cute!" Anna says, touching the frog gently. "Can we keep it?" + +"No, Anna, we can't. It is a wild frog. It needs to live in the water and the grass. We have to let it go." Ben says, putting the frog back in the puddle. + +"Okay, Ben, you are right. Bye, froggy!" Anna says, waving to the frog. + +They watch the frog hop away and then they hear a voice. + +"Anna! Ben! Time to go home!" It is their mom, calling them from the bench. + +They run to their mom and hug her. + +"Did you have fun, my sweeties?" Mom asks, smiling. + +"Yes, Mom, we had so much fun!

Anna and Ben say, happy. + +They walk home with their mom, talking about their adventure in the park. They are still a little wet, but they are very happy. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. Lily had a new scooter that was pink and shiny. Ben had an old bike that was blue and rusty. + +One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their toys. Lily rode her scooter very fast and showed off to Ben. Ben tried to catch up with his bike, but it was slow and noisy. He felt frustrated and sad. + +"Look at me, Ben!" Lily shouted. "My scooter is so much better than your bike!" + +Ben stopped his bike and said, "That's not nice, Lily. You are hurting my feelings. You should share your scooter with me." + +Lily laughed and said, "No way, Ben. This is my scooter and I don't want to share. You can rock on your bike if you want." + +Ben felt angry and hurt. He said, "Fine, Lily. If you don't want to share, then I don't want to play with you. You are a bad friend." + +He turned his bike around and rode away. Lily felt lonely and sorry. She realized that she was being selfish and mean. She wanted to make up with Ben. + +She rode her scooter to where Ben was. She said, "Ben, I'm sorry. I was wrong. You are a good friend and I want to play with you. Can we share my scooter and your bike?" + +Ben smiled and said, "Yes, Lily. I'm sorry too. I was frustrated and angry.

One day, they saw a big bull in the field. The bull had horns and a ring in his nose. Lily and Tom wanted to get closer to the bull, but they were anxious. They did not know if the bull was nice or mean. + +"Let's go and say hello to the bull," Lily said. "Maybe he will let us pet him." + +"I don't know, Lily," Tom said. "He looks scary.

We were curious." + +"Well, curiosity can be good, but you also need to be careful and respectful," the farmer said. "The bull has his own space and feelings.
