It will be slow and beautiful, just like you." + +Ben was curious, so he asked his dad, "Why should I clap for the plane?" His dad smiled and said, "Because planes are very special, and if you clap when it lands, it will be like you're welcoming it with open arms." + +So Ben clapped and clapped as the slow plane came to a stop in front of them. As they went inside the airplane, Ben couldn't help but feel excited and proud. He clapped the whole way to their destination, and they had the most wonderful time. +Once upon a time, there was a tall daddy and a little boy.

That's very sad." + +The tree said, "But I'm still here. I'm made of wood and dust. My dust is still here." + +And so the tiny man and the empty tree were friends. Every day the tiny man would come and play with the empty tree. + +From then on, the forest was full of joy and friendship! +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Sally and Sam.

That's impossible!" + +The rabbit replied, "Some things are mysterious, and we don't always know why they happen" + +The boy thought for a moment, then said, "Well, I guess I'll go find something else to do. Maybe my mom will make me a new salad for lunch!" + +He got busy playing with his toys, and soon the vanished salad was forgotten. +Once upon a time, there was a graceful bird. His name was Blue. Blue liked to act silly and make his friends laugh. One day, Blue decided to act brave and explore the world. He flew over a big lake and saw something wonderful. + +Down under the lake, there were long, graceful strings of colour. Blue twirled and spun to get a better look - they were a school of fish! They were so graceful, swimming in circles and changing colour like a big rainbow. Blue felt so lucky to see such a beautiful sight. + +At first Blue was scared of the deep water, but he wanted to act brave. So he carefully hopped on the lily pad and waited.

She offered it food and even named it Red. + +Sadly, Red the Lizard was not a very friendly pet. It didn't like being around the little girl, and it kept trying to climb away from her. Eventually, Red crawled out of the window and the little girl didn't get to see him anymore. + +The little girl was sad. She had wanted Red to stay with her, but he didn't want to. She learned a valuable lesson that day- not all wild things want to be kept as a pet. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl. Her name was Mary. Mary loved to explore.

Sue said to her best friend John. +John was excited. He loved to dig and bury things in the garden. +"What should we bury?" He asked. +"I have an idea," Sue said, smirking. She held up an old opera record she had found in her parents' attic. +John was not so sure about this. +"We can't bury that," he said, looking at the record sadly. He loved music and it seemed like a shame to bury it. +"If we bury it, something special might happen," Sue said. +John was intrigued. He nodded and said "Okay, let's do it!" +He started to dig with enthusiasm and soon the record was buried. +The two friends went inside for a snack. + +Hours later, when Sue and John returned to the garden, the record had been uncovered by a little bird, fairy, or something magical. +The record still worked and the sweet opera music filled the air. +John was amazed. +"I knew something special would happen," Sue said, smiling. +John smiled too and thanked Sue for believing in a magical surprise. +One day, Linda saw a very nice hat.

Molly thought for a while and then said, "Yes! We could take the tube off so it can fly away." + +Molly's mum looked carefully at the bird and said, "Molly, the bird must have been allowed to have that tube there for it to help it. The tube will let the bird feel more secure and help it to get stronger. Let's not take the tube away without thinking, alright?" + +Molly felt a bit disappointed but she could see that her mum was right. She nodded and said, "Yes, let's leave the tube for now and keep an eye on the bird."

You have enough cars for both of you. You should share and take turns. That's how you play nicely." + +Tom and Sue feel sorry. They say, "We're sorry, mom. We won't fight anymore. We will share and take turns." + +Mom smiles and says, "That's good. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now, do you want to play with the cars again?" + +Tom and Sue nod and say, "Yes, please!" + +They go back to their playroom. They find some cars that are not wrecked. They make new roads and bridges. They zoom and honk. They share and take turns. They have fun. They are glad. +Sara liked to play with her toy pirate ship. She had many pirates, but her favorite was Jack. Jack had a red hat, a hook and a big smile. Sara thought he was attractive. + +One day, Sara wanted to play a new game. She said to Jack, "Let's go find some treasure. Maybe we can gain some gold and jewels." Jack nodded and said, "Aye, aye, captain. Where should we sail?" Sara looked around and saw a big box in the corner. She said, "Let's go to that island. It looks mysterious." + +Sara and Jack sailed their ship to the box. They climbed out and opened the lid. Inside, they saw many shiny things. Sara was happy and said, "Wow, look at all this treasure. We are rich!" Jack was happy too and said, "Yes, we are. But we have to be careful. There might be other pirates who want to take our treasure." + +Sara and Jack did not notice that Sara's brother Tom was watching them. Tom was older and bigger than Sara. He liked to tease her and take her things. He saw the treasure and wanted it for himself. He said to himself, "I will wait until they are busy and then I will sneak up and grab the treasure. They will never know what happened." + +Tom waited until Sara and Jack were looking at a necklace and a ring. He tiptoed to the box and reached for the treasure. But he did not see that Jack had a sword. Jack saw Tom and said, "Hey, you. Stop. This is our treasure. Go away." He swung his sword and hit Tom's hand. Tom yelled and dropped the treasure. He ran away, crying. + +Sara and Jack cheered and hugged. They said, "We did it. We defended our treasure. We are brave pirates." They put the treasure back in the box and sailed back to their room. They were happy and proud. They had gained a lot of treasure and a lot of fun. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play golf. Golf is a game with a stick and a ball. You hit the ball with the stick and try to put it in a hole. Sam and Ben have a golf set. It has two sticks and two balls. They go to the park to play golf. + +They find a big grass field. They see some holes in the ground. They think they are for golf. They put their balls near the holes. They take turns to hit the balls with the sticks. They have fun. They say, "Golf is easy!" + +But the holes are not for golf. They are for sprinklers. Sprinklers are things that supply water to the grass. They make the grass wet and green. Sam and Ben do not know that. They do not see the signs that say, "Do not play here. Sprinklers turn on at 3 o'clock." + +It is 3 o'clock. The sprinklers turn on. They spray water everywhere. Sam and Ben get wet. Their golf set gets wet. Their balls get lost in the water. They are sad. They say, "Golf is not easy!" + +They run away from the water. They go home. They are wet and cold. They are in trouble. Their parents are angry. They say, "Why did you play golf in the sprinkler field? You should have read the signs. You ruined your golf set. You have to pay for it. Golf is not a game for you." +Lia and Sam are at the beach with Mom and Dad. They like to play in the sand and splash in the water. They see many fish and shells and crabs. They are happy and curious. + +One day, they find a big rock with a hole in it. They peek inside and see something moving. It is an octopus! The octopus has eight arms and many suckers. It is soft and slimy. Lia and Sam are scared and excited. + +"Hello, octopus!" Lia says. "What do you do in the rock?" + +The octopus does not answer. It hides in the hole. Lia and Sam wait and watch. + +After a while, the octopus comes out a little bit. It looks at Lia and Sam with its big eyes. It waves one of its arms. + +"Hello, kids!" the octopus says. "I live in the rock. I do many things. I hunt for food, I make ink, I change colors, I play with my friends." + +"Wow, you do many things!" Sam says. "Can we play with you?" + +The octopus thinks for a moment. It nods and smiles. + +"Sure, you can play with me!" the octopus says. "But be careful, I am soft and you are hard. Do not hurt me or I will squirt ink at you!" + +Lia and Sam laugh and nod. They are careful and gentle. They play with the octopus and have fun. They learn many things about the octopus and the sea. They make a new friend. They are happy and curious. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They had a bucket and a shovel each. They were happy. + +But then, Ben saw something shiny in the grass. He ran to it and picked it up. It was a snake! It was green and yellow and had scales. Ben liked the snake. He wanted to keep it. + +"Look, Lily, I found a snake!" Ben said. He held the snake in his hands and rubbed its head. The snake hissed and wriggled. + +"Put it down, Ben, it's not a toy!" Lily said. She was scared of the snake. She thought it might bite Ben. She ran to him and tried to take the snake away. + +"No, it's mine, go away!" Ben said. He pulled the snake back and rubbed it harder. The snake did not like that. It opened its mouth and bit Ben's finger. Ben screamed and dropped the snake. The snake slithered away. + +"Ow, ow, ow, it hurts!" Ben cried. He held his finger and blood came out. Lily ran to him and hugged him. She was sorry for Ben. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, are you okay?" Lily said. She looked at his finger and saw it was broken. She was worried. + +"Let's go to mom, she will help you," Lily said. She took Ben's hand and led him to the house. They left the bucket and the shovel in the garden. They did not want to play with the snake anymore. +Anna and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, but their favorite was the seal. The seal was big and gray, and had a shiny nose. It could swim fast and jump high in the water. Anna and Ben clapped and cheered when the seal did tricks. + +"Look, mom, the seal is so smart and fun!" Anna said. + +"Yes, it is, honey. Do you know what the seal eats?" mom asked. + +"Fish!" Ben said. + +"That's right. The seal likes to catch fish with its mouth. Sometimes, it can even balance a ball on its nose. Do you want to try?" mom said. + +She bought a ball from a nearby stall and gave it to Anna. Anna threw the ball to the seal, hoping it would catch it. But the ball bounced off the seal's head and landed in the water. The seal looked confused and splashed around. + +"Oops, sorry, seal!" Anna said. + +Ben tried next. He threw the ball more gently, aiming for the seal's nose. The seal saw the ball and opened its mouth. It caught the ball and held it in its teeth. Then, it tossed the ball up and managed to balance it on its nose. The seal looked proud and happy. + +"Wow, good job, seal!" Ben said. + +Anna and Ben clapped and cheered again. The seal smiled and waved its flipper. It threw the ball back to Ben and waited for another throw. + +"Mom, can we play with the seal more?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, sweetie. The seal is very friendly and attractive. It likes to play with you. But don't forget to say thank you and goodbye when we leave, okay?" mom said. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They played with the seal for a while, and had a lot of fun. They thanked the seal and said goodbye when they had to go. The seal waved back and made a loud noise. Anna and Ben smiled and waved back. They hoped to see the seal again soon. +Lila and Ben were at the park with their mom. They saw a vendor with a big cart full of balloons. The vendor had many colors of balloons: red, blue, yellow, green, pink, and purple. Lila and Ben loved balloons. They asked their mom if they could have one. + +"Mom, can we have a balloon, please?" Lila and Ben said together. + +"Sure, you can have one balloon each. But you have to share and be careful with them. Balloons can pop or fly away," mom said. + +Lila and Ben ran to the vendor and said hello. The vendor smiled and said, "Hello, little ones. What color do you want?" + +Lila chose a pink balloon and Ben chose a blue one. The vendor tied the balloons to their wrists with a string. He said, "Here you go. Enjoy your balloons. They are lovely, just like you." + +"Thank you, vendor. You are very nice," Lila and Ben said. + +They waved goodbye to the vendor and went back to their mom. They played with their balloons in the park. They tossed them in the air, pulled them down, and made them bounce. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, a strong wind came and blew their balloons away. Lila and Ben were sad. They cried and said, "Mom, our balloons are gone. We lost them." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, sweeties. Sometimes things happen that we can't control. But you still have each other, and you still have me. And we can always get new balloons another day." + +Lila and Ben stopped crying and nodded. They said, "You're right, mom. We love you. And we love each other. And we still had a good time with our balloons." + +They smiled and hugged their mom. They decided to go to the swings and slide. They forgot about their balloons and enjoyed the rest of the day. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big swing in their backyard that they could rock on. They liked to rock high and fast and pretend they were flying in the sky. + +One day, they saw a big white cloud that looked like a bunny. They wanted to touch it and hug it. They rocked harder and harder, hoping to reach the cloud. They laughed and shouted, "Bunny, bunny, come here!" + +But the cloud did not hear them. It was too far away and too busy. It moved with the wind and changed its shape. It did not care about Tom and Lily. It was a lonely cloud that had no friends. + +Tom and Lily did not notice that the wind was getting stronger and the sky was getting darker. They did not see the lightning and the thunder. They did not hear their mom calling them to come inside. They only saw the cloud and wanted to catch it. + +Suddenly, a big gust of wind blew them off the swing. They fell to the ground and hurt themselves. They cried and screamed, but no one heard them. The cloud did not help them. It did not even look at them. It just kept moving and changing. It was a lonely cloud that made Tom and Lily lonely too. +Ben is a little boy who likes to play with his toys. He has a big teddy bear, a red car, a blue ball and a yellow duck. He loves his toys very much and does not want to share them with anyone. + +One day, his cousin Lily comes to visit. Lily is a little girl who likes to play with toys too. She sees Ben's toys and wants to play with them. She asks Ben, "Can I play with your teddy bear?" + +Ben says, "No, it is mine. Go away!" + +Lily is sad and angry. She says, "You are mean. I don't like you!" + +Ben does not care. He hugs his teddy bear and says, "You can't have it. It is mine!" + +That night, Ben goes to bed with his teddy bear. He thinks he is happy, but he is not. He has a bad dream. He dreams that Lily comes and takes his teddy bear away. He tries to stop her, but he can't. He cries and cries, but no one hears him. He feels alone and scared. He has a nightmare. + +He wakes up and sees that his teddy bear is still with him. He is relieved, but he also feels sorry. He remembers that he was mean to Lily. He thinks that maybe he should share his toys with her. He thinks that maybe she is not so bad. He thinks that maybe he can be friends with her. + +He gets up and goes to Lily's room. He knocks on the door and says, "Lily, I am sorry. I was mean to you. Do you want to play with my teddy bear?" + +Lily opens the door and smiles. She says, "Yes, I do. Thank you, Ben. You are nice. I like you!" + +Ben and Lily hug and go to play with the teddy bear. They also play with the red car, the blue ball and the yellow duck. They share their toys and have fun. They are happy. They have no more nightmares. +Anna and Ben were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside to play. They looked at their toys, but they did not want to play with them. They looked at each other and sighed. + +"Let's do something fun," Anna said. + +"Like what?" Ben asked. + +Anna thought for a moment. She saw a big box in the corner of the room. She had an idea. + +"Let's make a fort!" she suggested. + +Ben smiled. He liked forts. He helped Anna move the box to the middle of the room. They found some blankets and pillows and draped them over the box. They crawled inside their fort and felt cozy and happy. + +"This is fun," Ben said. + +"Yes, it is," Anna agreed. + +They pretended they were in a castle and had adventures. They fought dragons and rescued princesses. They laughed and played for a long time. + +Then they heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. + +"Hello, my little knights," she said. "Do you want some tea and cookies?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They loved tea and cookies. They crawled out of their fort and followed their mom to the kitchen. They sat at the table and poured tea from a small pot. They ate cookies and told their mom about their fort and their adventures. + +Their mom smiled and listened. She was glad they had fun. She hugged them and said, "You are very creative and brave. I'm proud of you." + +Anna and Ben felt warm and happy. They thanked their mom and gave her a kiss. They decided that even on a gloomy day, they could have fun with their fort and their tea and their mom. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the park. The box has many old toys inside. Tom and Mia are happy. They want to play with the old toys. + +But some of the old toys are broken. A doll has no hair. A car has no wheels. A bear has no eyes. Tom and Mia are sad. They want to restore the old toys. They want to make them new again. + +They go to their homes and look for things to fix the old toys.

She liked to ring her friends and pretend to talk to them. She had a lot of fun with her phone. + +One day, she found a new phone in her room. It was different from her toy phone. It was bigger and had many buttons and lights. It looked like a real phone. Lila was curious. She picked up the phone and pressed a button. + +"Hello, this is the Power Company. How can we help you?" a voice said from the phone. + +Lila was surprised. She did not know who the Power Company was. She did not know what to say. She said the first thing that came to her mind. + +"Can I have some power, please?" she asked. + +The voice on the phone was confused. "What do you mean, some power? What is your name and address?" + +Lila did not know what an address was. She only knew her name. She said, "I am Lila. I want some power for my toys." + +The voice on the phone was amused. "Lila, you are very funny. But this is not a joke. This is a serious phone. You should not play with it. It is for grown-ups only. Where are your parents?" + +Lila did not like the voice on the phone. She did not like being told what to do. She did not like being called funny. She wanted some power. She pressed another button. + +The voice on the phone was alarmed. "Lila, what are you doing? Do not press that button! That is the power switch! You will turn off the power for the whole city!" + +Lila did not know what a city was. She did not know what power was. She only knew that she wanted some. She pressed the button. + +The phone went silent. The lights went off. The toys stopped working. Lila was scared. She had turned off the power for the whole city. She did not know what to do. She wished she had not played with the different phone. She wished she had her toy phone back. She wished she had listened to the voice on the phone. She wished she had some power. +Sara and Tom were eager to play with their new toy. It was a big refrigerator with many doors and drawers. They could put their food and drinks inside and pretend to cook and eat. + +"Look, Sara, I have some cheese and juice for you," Tom said, opening one of the doors. He took out a yellow slice and a red carton. + +"Thank you, Tom, that looks yummy," Sara said, smiling. She opened another door and found some grapes and milk. "Do you want some grapes and milk, Tom?" + +"Yes, please, Sara, they are my favorite," Tom said, nodding. He reached for the purple fruits and the white bottle. + +They sat on the floor and enjoyed their snack. They talked and laughed and made funny faces. They were having so much fun. + +Then, Sara had an idea. She looked at the refrigerator and wondered if she could fit inside. She was curious and adventurous. She wanted to try something new. + +"Tom, do you think I can fit in the refrigerator?" she asked, standing up. + +"I don't know, Sara, it looks small," Tom said, looking at the refrigerator. He was not sure if it was a good idea. + +"Let me try, Tom, it will be fun," Sara said, walking towards the refrigerator. She opened the biggest door and tried to squeeze in. She pushed and pushed, but she was too big. She could not fit in the refrigerator. + +"Ouch, Sara, are you okay?" Tom asked, running to help her. He pulled her out of the refrigerator and hugged her. + +"I'm okay, Tom, but I can't fit in the refrigerator," Sara said, rubbing her head. She was disappointed and sad. + +"It's okay, Sara, you don't have to fit in the refrigerator. You can fit in my arms," Tom said, smiling. He kissed her cheek and made her laugh. + +They hugged and played some more. They forgot about the refrigerator and had a happy day. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen.

Do you want some?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben said, grabbing a spoon. He took a big bite of the goo and made a face. "Blech! This is not a cake! This is yucky!" + +Lily laughed. "It is a joke, silly! It is not a cake, it is flour and sugar and salt. I tricked you!" + +Ben was angry. He did not like Lily's joke. He wanted to get back at her. He saw a bottle of red sauce in the cupboard. He had an idea. He took the bottle and opened it. He rushed to Lily and squirted the sauce all over her. + +"Ha ha! Now you are red and messy!" Ben said, feeling proud. "This is not a joke, this is payback!" + +Lily screamed. She did not like Ben's payback. She felt hot and stung. The sauce was not red sauce, it was hot sauce. It hurt her eyes and skin. She cried and cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Lily and Ben and the mess. She was very angry. She took the bottle and read the label. It said "Warning: Very spicy. Keep away from children." + +Mom scolded Ben and Lily. She said they were naughty and careless. She said they could have hurt themselves or each other. She said they had to clean up the kitchen and go to their rooms. She said they could not play together for a week. + +Ben and Lily felt sorry and sad.

It was not your fault. We will get you a new band. A better band. A band that will not break." + +"Really, mom?" Ben says. "A new band?" + +"Really, dad?" Sam says. "A better band?" + +"Yes, really," Mom and dad say. "A new and better band. A band that will make you happy and cool. A band that you can play with and sing and dance.

He put down the plastic sheet and walked over to Mia. + +Mia looked up and saw Tom. She saw he was sorry and wanted to be friends again. She smiled and nodded. + +"Okay, Tom, I forgive you.

Max was younger than Tom and Lily, and he did not know how to play with the ship. He threw it in the air, he bit it, and he made loud noises. + +Tom and Lily did not like that. They complained to their mom. "Mom, Max is ruining our ship! He does not know how to play with it. He is too little. Can we have it back?" + +Their mom smiled and said, "I know you love your ship, but Max is our guest. He does not have many toys at home, and he thinks your ship is rare and special. You have to be kind and let him play with it for a while. Maybe you can teach him how to play with it nicely." + +Tom and Lily thought about it. They did not want to be mean to Max, but they also did not want to lose their ship. They decided to try to be kind. They went to Max and said, "Hi, Max. Do you want to play with us?

"It is so cool and shiny. I want to play with it." + +"Me too," Sam said. "But we have to ask first. Maybe it belongs to someone." + +Tom did not listen to Sam. He was too excited. He grabbed the car and ran to his room. He wanted to attach it to his other cars and make a long train. He did not care if it was someone else's car. + +Sam followed Tom and tried to stop him. He said, "Tom, that is not nice. You have to share. And you have to ask before you take something. That is the rule." + +Tom did not listen to Sam. He said, "Go away, Sam. This is my car now. I found it. You can play with your own cars." + +Sam was sad and angry. He did not like how Tom was acting. He went to tell their mom.

Where did he get that? That is not a toy. That is a real car. We have to return it right away. Maybe someone is looking for it." + +Mom and Sam went to Tom's room.

That is wrong." + +Tom looked up and saw Mom and Sam. He was scared and ashamed. He said, "But I like this car. It is so cool and shiny. I wanted to play with it." + +Mom said, "I know you like it, but it is not yours. It belongs to someone else. Maybe a police officer who needs it to help people. How would you feel if someone took your cars without asking? You would be sad and angry, right?" + +Tom thought about it. He realized he was wrong. He said, "You are right, Mom. I am sorry. I was not nice. I should have asked. I should have shared. I should have listened. I will give it back." + +Mom said, "That is good, Tom. I am proud of you. You learned your lesson. Come on, let's go outside and find the owner of the car." + +They went outside and saw a police officer standing by the car. He looked wet and worried. He said, "Hello, I am Officer Mike. I left my car here for a minute to help a lady who fell in a puddle. When I came back, my car was gone. I was looking for it everywhere. Have you seen it?" + +Mom said, "Yes, we have. We are very sorry. My son Tom took it by mistake. He thought it was a toy. He did not mean to cause any trouble. He wants to give it back and say sorry." + +Tom said, "I am sorry, Officer Mike. I took your car because I liked it. I did not know it was yours. I did not know you needed it. I was wrong. Here is your car. Please forgive me." + +Officer Mike smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. I appreciate your honesty and courage. I forgive you. You made a mistake, but you learned from it. That is important. And thank you, Mom, for teaching him the right thing to do.

I thought it was a magic stick. I wanted to make things disappear. But it didn't work. I hid it behind the couch. Here it is." He gave his grandpa the cane. + +His grandpa looked surprised and relieved. He said, "Thank you, Tommy. I'm glad you told me the truth. I'm not angry with you. But you should not play with my cane. It is not a toy. It is a tool. It helps me walk. Without it, I feel helpless. Do you understand?" + +Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa. I understand. I'm sorry. I won't play with your cane again. I love you, Grandpa." + +His grandpa hugged him and said, "I love you too, Tommy. You are a good boy. Now, let's go to the kitchen and have some cookies." He took his cane and stood up. He held Tommy's hand and they walked together. Tommy felt happy. He learned a lesson. He learned that some things are not meant to disappear. +Tom and Lily were twins who loved horses. They lived on a farm with their mom and dad, who had many animals. Sometimes, they helped their dad feed the horses and brush their fur. They liked to give them names and talk to them. + +One day, their dad said, "I have a surprise for you. Come with me to the stable." Tom and Lily followed him, excited and curious. In the stable, they saw a new horse. It was small and brown, with a white star on its forehead. It looked shy and scared. + +"This is Star," their dad said. "He is a pony. He was hurt by a bad man, who did not take care of him. He needs a new home and a new family. Do you want to be his friends?" + +Tom and Lily nodded, smiling. They felt sorry for Star, and wanted to make him happy. They went closer to him, slowly and gently. They stroked his nose and whispered, "Hello, Star. We are Tom and Lily. We will be nice to you. We will play with you and feed you and love you. You are safe here. You are lucky." + +Star looked at them with his big, brown eyes. He felt their warmth and kindness. He nuzzled their hands and neighed softly. He felt a new hope in his heart. He was not alone anymore. He had a new home and a new family. He was lucky. +Tim likes to ride his bike. He has a red bike with big wheels and a bell. He also has a helmet that his mom gave him. She says he must wear it when he rides, because it keeps his head safe. + +One day, Tim sees a shiny bike in the shop window. It is silver and has lights and a horn. Tim wants that bike. He thinks it is better than his red bike. He asks his mom if he can have it. She says no. She says it is too expensive and he already has a good bike. + +Tim is angry. He does not listen to his mom. He waits until she is busy. Then he sneaks out of the house. He takes his red bike and rides to the shop. He sees the shiny bike outside. He leaves his red bike and takes the shiny bike. He does not wear his helmet. He thinks he does not need it. + +He rides the shiny bike fast. He likes the lights and the horn. He does not look where he is going. He does not see the car coming. The car hits him. He falls off the bike. He hits his head on the ground. He does not wake up. + +The end. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars and dolls. One day, they see a big hill in the park. They want to race their cars down the hill. + +"Are you ready?" Tom asks Mia. + +"Yes, I am!" Mia says. "My car is faster than yours!" + +They put their cars at the top of the hill and let them go. The cars zoom down the hill, making loud noises. Tom and Mia run after them, cheering. + +But then, Tom's car hits a rock and flips over. Mia's car keeps going and reaches the bottom of the hill first. + +"I win! I win!" Mia shouts. She picks up her car and holds it high. "This is my victory!" + +Tom feels sad. He walks to his car and picks it up. It has a scratch and a dent. He looks at Mia and says, "You were lucky. My car is better than yours." + +Mia sees Tom's face and feels sorry. She remembers that Tom is her friend. She says, "No, your car is good too. It was a fun race. Do you want to play again?" + +Tom smiles. He says, "Yes, I do. You are a good friend. I trust you." + +They hug and laugh. They play with their cars again. They don't care who wins or loses. They are happy. The sky is gray, but they don't mind. They have each other. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They go to the park with their moms. The park has swings, slides, and a sandbox. + +Lila and Tom run to the swings. They want to swing high and fast. They push each other and laugh. They have fun. + +But then a big boy comes. He is mean. He says, "Get off the swings. They are mine." He pushes Lila and Tom. He makes them fall. He hurts them. + +Lila and Tom cry. Their moms hear them. They run to them. They hug them and say, "Are you OK? What happened?" + +Lila and Tom tell their moms. They point at the big boy. They say, "He is bad. He is harsh. He did not share. He pushed us." + +Their moms are angry. They go to the big boy. They say, "You are rude. You are harsh. You did not do nice. You need to say sorry." + +The big boy is scared. He sees the moms are mad. He says, "Sorry. I did wrong. I will share." + +Lila and Tom stop crying. They say, "OK. We forgive you. You can play with us." + +The big boy smiles. He says, "Thank you. I will play nice." + +They all go back to the swings. They take turns. They swing high and fast. They have fun. They are friends. +Tim and Lily are friends. They like to play with their toys and draw pictures. One day, they find a big furry pen. It is red and soft and has a funny nose. + +"Look, Lily, a furry pen!" Tim says. "Let's write with it!" + +"OK, Tim, let's write!" Lily says. "What do you want to write?" + +Tim thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He takes the furry pen and writes on a piece of paper. He writes his name: T-I-M. + +"Look, Lily, I wrote my name!" Tim says. "Can you write your name?" + +Lily nods. She takes the furry pen and writes on another piece of paper. She writes her name: L-I-L-Y. + +"Look, Tim, I wrote my name!" Lily says. "We are good at writing!" + +They are happy. They write more words with the furry pen. They write cat, dog, sun, moon, and star. They have fun. + +But then, something happens. The furry pen starts to move. It wiggles and squirms. It makes a noise. It is not a pen. It is a toy mouse! + +"Ah, Tim, it's a mouse!" Lily screams. "It's not a pen!" + +"Ah, Lily, it's a mouse!" Tim screams. "It's not a pen!" + +They drop the mouse and run away. They are scared. + +The mouse laughs. It is not a real mouse. It is a prank mouse. It has a button that makes it move and squeak. It is a joke. + +"Ha, ha, ha, I fooled you!" the mouse says. "You thought I was a pen, but I am a mouse!" + +The mouse is happy. It likes to play tricks. It writes on the papers with its nose. It writes mouse, cheese, and ha, ha, ha. It has fun. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play and have fun. Today, they want to do something different. They see a big box in the corner. They open the box and find many things inside. They find hats, scarves, shoes, and dresses. They want to dress up and pretend. + +Tom puts on a green hat and a green scarf. He says, "I am a frog. Ribbit, ribbit. I can hop and swim." He hops around the room and makes frog sounds. + +Anna puts on a pink dress and a pink hat. She says, "I am a princess. La, la, la. I can sing and dance." She twirls around the room and sings a song. + +Tom and Anna look at each other. They disagree. Tom says, "Frogs are better than princesses. Frogs can do more things. Princesses are boring." + +Anna says, "No, princesses are better than frogs. Princesses are pretty and nice. Frogs are ugly and noisy." + +Tom and Anna start to argue. They raise their voices and make faces. They are not happy. + +Then, they hear a knock on the door. It is their mom. She comes in and sees them. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? You are supposed to be friends." + +Tom and Anna stop arguing. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We were playing dress up. But we disagreed. Tom wanted to be a frog and I wanted to be a princess." + +Mom says, "That's okay. You can have different ideas. But you don't have to be mean to each other. You can still play together and have fun. Why don't you try to find something you both like?" + +Tom and Anna think for a moment. They look at the box again. They see a big drum and a small flute. They smile. They say, "We like music. We can play music and dance." + +Mom says, "That's a good idea. You can be a frog and a princess who play music and dance. That sounds like fun." + +Tom and Anna nod. They take the drum and the flute. They make music and dance. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toys. But they did not like to share. They always fought over who had more toys and who had better toys. One day, they found a big box of new toys in their room. They were very happy and ran to the box. + +"Wow, look at all these toys!" Tom said. "I want this car and this robot and this ball!" + +"No, I want them!" Sam said. "They are mine! You can have these dolls and these books and this hat!" + +They started to pull and tug at the toys. They did not care if they broke them or hurt each other. They only wanted to have more toys than the other. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was their mom. She was very angry. She saw the mess they made and the toys they tore. She saw the scratches and bruises they gave each other. She was very sad and disappointed. + +"What have you done?" she shouted. "These toys were not for you! They were for the children at the hospital who are sick and have no toys! I was going to take them there tomorrow. But now you have ruined them all! How could you be so selfish and greedy?" + +Tom and Sam felt very bad. They realized they had done something very wrong. They had wasted the toys that could have made other children happy. They had hurt each other and their mom. They had no toys left to play with. They wished they had been more kind and generous. + +But it was too late. Their mom took away the box of toys and left them alone in their room. They had nothing to do but cry and say sorry to each other. It was a gloomy day for Tom and Sam. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. If you are selfish and greedy, you will lose everything and make everyone unhappy. If you are kind and generous, you will have more friends and make everyone happy. +Sara woke up early and felt very grumpy. She did not want to get out of bed. She wanted to sleep more. She pulled the blanket over her head and closed her eyes. + +But then she heard a loud noise. It was her cat, Milo. Milo was jumping on the furniture and knocking things over. He was having fun, but he was making a mess. Sara opened her eyes and saw Milo on the dresser. He was about to push a vase to the floor. + +Sara jumped out of bed and ran to the dresser. She grabbed Milo and hugged him. She said, "No, Milo, no! You are a bad cat! You cannot play with the furniture. You will break things and make mom and dad angry." + +Milo did not like being hugged. He wanted to play more. He wriggled and scratched and meowed. He tried to get away from Sara. He was a grumpy cat. + +Sara put Milo down and said, "You need to calm down, Milo. You need to stretch and relax. Look, I will show you." She lay down on the floor and stretched her arms and legs. She said, "Stretching feels good. It makes you happy and sleepy. Try it, Milo." + +Milo looked at Sara and tilted his head. He was curious. He walked to Sara and sniffed her. He licked her face and purred. He lay down next to her and stretched his paws and tail. He said, "Stretching does feel good. It makes me happy and sleepy. Thank you, Sara." + +Sara smiled and cuddled with Milo. She said, "You are welcome, Milo. You are a good cat. I love you." They both closed their eyes and fell asleep. They were not grumpy anymore. +Lila and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a bow and arrow. The bow and arrow are fake, not real. They are made of wood and string and have a soft tip. Lila and Ben pretend to be hunters and shoot at animals in the garden. + +One day, they see a bird on a branch. Lila wants to shoot the bird with her arrow. She thinks it will be fun. Ben says no, that is not nice. The bird is real, not fake. It can feel pain and get hurt. Lila does not listen. She pulls the string and lets go of the arrow. + +The arrow flies towards the bird. The bird sees the arrow and flies away. The arrow misses the bird and hits a window. The window breaks and makes a loud noise. Lila and Ben are scared. They run inside the house. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise and come to see what happened. They see the broken window and the arrow on the floor. They are angry and sad. They ask Lila and Ben who did it. Lila and Ben tell the truth. They say they are sorry. + +Mom and Dad hug Lila and Ben. They say they are glad they are safe and honest. But they also say they have to learn a lesson. They say playing with fake things is fine, but playing with real things is not. They say they have to respect and care for all living things. They say they have to pay for the window and help fix it. Lila and Ben agree. They say they will not shoot at real animals again. They say they will only play with fake things. They say they love Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad say they love Lila and Ben. They all go to the garden and play with the bow and arrow. They shoot at fake animals and have fun. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they decided to explore the swamp near their house. They put on their boots and hats and took a big stick to poke the mud and water. + +"Look, Ben, I see a frog!" Lily said, pointing to a green and brown animal that jumped from one lily pad to another. + +"Wow, it's so cute! Can I hold it?" Ben asked, reaching out his hand. + +"Okay, but be gentle. Frogs are very shy and slippery," Lily said, passing the stick to Ben and catching the frog with her other hand. + +She gave the frog to Ben, who smiled and stroked its smooth skin. The frog croaked and blinked its big eyes. + +"Hello, froggy. You are very nice. Do you like the swamp?" Ben said, talking to the frog. + +The frog did not answer, but it seemed to like Ben. It did not try to escape or bite him. + +Lily watched Ben and the frog. She felt happy that Ben liked her gift. She was a generous friend. She did not mind sharing the frog with him. + +"Ben, do you want to keep the frog as a pet?" Lily asked. + +Ben thought for a moment. He liked the frog, but he also knew that the frog liked the swamp. The swamp was its home, where it had food and friends and water. + +"No, Lily. I think the frog is happier in the swamp. Let's put it back on the lily pad and say goodbye," Ben said. + +Lily nodded. She agreed with Ben. They were kind to the frog. They did not want to make it sad. + +They walked back to the swamp and gently placed the frog on the lily pad. The frog croaked again and waved its leg. + +"Bye, froggy. Thank you for playing with us. Have fun in the swamp," Ben and Lily said. + +They waved back and left the swamp. They felt good. They had a fun adventure and a new friend. They were generous and respectful. They liked each other and the swamp. +Lily and Ben were playing with paper and scissors. They wanted to make some animals for their mom. Lily cut out a big circle and two small circles. She glued them together and drew a face. "Look, I made a cat!" she said. + +Ben looked at his paper. He did not know what to make. He tried to cut out a square, but it was crooked. He tried to cut out a triangle, but it was too small. He felt sad. He did not like scissors. He wanted to give up. + +Lily saw Ben's face. She wanted to help him. She encouraged him to try again. "You can do it, Ben!" she said. "Scissors are fun. You just need to be careful and slow. Here, I will show you." + +She took another paper and cut out a long rectangle. She folded it in half and cut out a small triangle on the fold. She opened the paper and showed Ben. "Look, I made a fish!" she said. "Do you want to make one too?" + +Ben nodded. He liked fish. They were his favorite animals. He took another paper and followed Lily's steps. He cut out a long rectangle, folded it, and cut out a small triangle. He opened the paper and smiled. He made a fish too! + +He showed his fish to Lily. She clapped her hands. "You did it, Ben!" she said. "Your fish is adorable. Mom will love it. Let's make more animals together." + +Ben hugged Lily. He felt happy. He liked scissors now. He thanked Lily for encouraging him. They made more animals together. They had fun. They made a cat, a fish, a dog, a bird, and a bunny. They put them in a basket and gave them to their mom. She was very proud of them. She said they were very creative and kind. She hugged them and kissed them. They were a happy family. +Lily was a little girl who liked to draw. She had many crayons and papers to make pictures. One day, she wanted to draw a big flower on the wall of her room. She thought it would look pretty and make her happy. + +She took a red crayon and started to draw on the wall. She did not ask her mom or dad if she could do that. She did not think they would mind. She was having fun making the flower. + +But then, her mom came into the room and saw the wall. She was not happy. She was angry. She said to Lily, "Lily, what did you do? You made a mess on the wall. You cannot draw on the wall. That is not good. You have to learn to respect the house and the rules. You have to say sorry and help me clean the wall." + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to make her mom angry. She did not know she was doing something wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to draw a flower. I thought it would be nice. I did not know I could not draw on the wall. I will help you clean it." + +Her mom gave her a napkin and some water. She said, "Thank you, Lily. I appreciate that you are sorry and you want to help. Next time, you can draw on paper or on a board. You can also ask me or dad if you are not sure. We love you and we want you to be creative, but we also want you to be responsible and respectful." + +Lily nodded. She said, "I love you too, mom. I will learn to be more careful and ask you first. I'm sorry I made you angry." + +Her mom hugged her. She said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm not angry anymore. I'm glad you learned from your mistake. Now, let's clean the wall together and then we can have a snack and read a book." + +They cleaned the wall and then they had a snack and read a book. Lily felt peaceful and happy. She learned a lesson that day. She learned to respect the house and the rules, and to say sorry and help when she did something wrong. She also learned that her mom loved her and forgave her. She was a good little girl. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big basket under a tree. The basket was old and had holes in it. But inside the basket, there were many shiny things that glowed. Sara and Ben wanted to see what they were. + +"Look, Ben, what are these?" Sara asked, picking up a glowing thing. It was round and smooth and had a hole in the middle. + +"I don't know, Sara, but they are pretty. Maybe they are rings," Ben said, putting one on his finger. It was too big for him, but he liked how it sparkled. + +"Let's take them home and show Mom and Dad," Sara said, filling her pockets with the glowing things. Ben did the same. They left the basket under the tree and ran back to their house. + +But when they got home, they saw that Mom and Dad were not happy. They were angry and scared. They saw the glowing things on Sara and Ben and shouted at them. + +"Where did you get these? These are not toys! These are dangerous! These are radioactive! They will make you sick!" Mom said, grabbing the glowing things from Sara and Ben and throwing them in the trash. + +"But they are pretty," Sara said, crying. + +"They are not pretty, they are poison. You have to go to the hospital now. You have to get rid of the radiation. You have to get shots and pills and stay in a bed for a long time," Dad said, taking Sara and Ben by the hand and rushing them to the car. + +Sara and Ben did not understand what was happening. They did not know what radiation was. They did not know why the glowing things were bad. They only knew that they were in trouble and that they felt sick. They wished they had never found the basket under the tree. They wished they had never touched the glowing things. They wished they could go back to playing outside. But it was too late. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had many shiny things inside. They saw wires, plugs, switches, and bulbs. They wanted to see how they worked. + +"Look, Lily, this bulb is bright and this one is mild," Tom said, holding two bulbs in his hands. "I wonder what happens if I plug them in." + +"Be careful, Tom, Mom said not to touch the box. It could be dangerous," Lily said, feeling scared. + +But Tom did not listen. He was curious and brave. He found a plug and a socket. He plugged the bright bulb in. It lit up and made a nice sound. He smiled and felt happy. + +"Wow, this is fun! Let me try the mild bulb," he said, and unplugged the bright bulb. He plugged the mild bulb in. But something was wrong. The mild bulb did not light up. It made a loud noise and a spark. Tom felt a shock and dropped the bulb. It broke and cut his hand. He screamed and cried. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She saw blood and glass on the floor. She was scared and sad. She called Mom and Dad. They came and saw what happened. They were angry and worried. They took Tom to the hospital. He had to get stitches and a bandage. He was in pain and sorry. + +The moral of the story is: Do not play with things you do not understand. Listen to your parents. They know what is best for you. +Ben likes to rock with his guitar. He has a red guitar that makes loud sounds. He plays his guitar in his room and sings songs. He likes to rock with his guitar. + +One day, his mom comes to his room. She says, "Ben, can you play your guitar a little quieter? Your sister is sleeping and she needs a nap." + +Ben says, "But mom, I like to rock with my guitar. It is fun and I am good at it." + +Mom says, "I know, Ben, and you are very nice to play your guitar. But your sister is very tired and she needs to rest. Can you play your guitar in the living room instead? There you can rock as much as you want." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He loves his sister and he does not want to wake her up. He says, "OK, mom, I will play my guitar in the living room. But can you rock with me?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Sure, Ben, I will rock with you. Let's go to the living room and rock together." + +Ben and mom go to the living room and rock with the guitar. They have a lot of fun and make loud sounds. They rock with the guitar. +Lily and Ben like to play with gear. Gear is fun. Gear has wheels and teeth and makes noises. Lily and Ben have many gear toys in their room. + +One day, a man comes to their house. He says he wants to buy gear. He says he will give Lily and Ben money for gear. Lily and Ben like money. Money can buy candy and books and more toys. They say yes to the man. + +The man takes all their gear toys. He puts them in a big bag. He gives Lily and Ben some money. He says thank you and goodbye. He leaves with the bag. + +Lily and Ben count the money. They have five dollars. They are happy. They go to the store to buy candy and books and more toys. But they find out that five dollars is not enough. Candy and books and more toys are expensive. They need more money. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They want their gear toys back. They miss their gear toys. They try to find the man who bought their gear toys. But they cannot find him. He is gone. He sold their gear toys to other people. Lily and Ben cry. They wish they did not sell their gear toys. They made a bad choice. They learned a hard lesson. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a man with a medal. The medal is shiny and big. It has a star and a flag on it. + +"Wow, look at that medal!" Anna says. "It is so pretty!" + +Ben nods. He wants to touch the medal. He runs to the man and stares at the medal. The man smiles. + +"Hello, little boy. Do you like my medal?" the man asks. + +"Yes, I do. It is very nice. Where did you get it?" Ben says. + +The man tells Ben that he got the medal from the army. He says that he was brave and helped many people. He says that the medal is a gift from the president. + +Anna comes closer and listens. She is excited. She thinks the man is a hero. + +"Can I see your medal?" she asks. + +The man nods.

They think the medal is a special thing. They want to be brave and helpful too. They go back to playing in the park. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they would miss the ball and it would roll away. Then they would chase the ball and laugh. + +One time, the ball rolled too far and went into the street. Anna and Ben stopped and looked at the ball. They saw a big car coming fast. The car was loud and shiny. It was distant, but it was getting closer. + +"Anna, we have to get the ball!" Ben said. He was scared. He did not want to lose the ball. + +"No, Ben, we have to stay here!" Anna said. She was smart. She knew the car was dangerous. "The car will stop and we can get the ball later. We have to relax and wait." + +Ben did not listen to Anna. He ran to the street and tried to get the ball. Anna shouted, "Ben, no!" But it was too late. The car did not see Ben. The car did not stop. The car hit Ben and the ball. There was a loud noise and a lot of motion. Anna saw Ben and the ball fly in the air. She was very sad and scared. She cried and cried. +Lily and Max were playing in the backyard. It was a hot day and they wanted to cool down. They saw a hose hanging on the wall. Lily had an idea. + +"Let's play with the hose!" she said to Max. "We can spray each other and have fun!" + +Max agreed. He ran to the hose and turned it on. He pointed it at Lily and shouted, "Watch out, Lily! I'm going to soak you!" + +Lily screamed and ran away. She tried to dodge the water, but Max was too fast. He soaked her from head to toe. Lily felt wet and cold. She did not like it. + +"Stop it, Max! Stop it!" she cried. "I don't want to play with the hose! It's not fun!" + +Max did not listen. He thought it was funny to see Lily run and scream. He kept spraying her with the hose. He laughed and laughed. + +Lily was angry and sad. She ran to the house and told their mom. Mom came out and saw what Max was doing. She was not happy. + +"Max, stop that right now!" she said. "You are being mean to Lily! You have to share the hose and play nicely!" + +Max turned off the hose and looked at his mom. He saw that she was serious. He felt sorry for Lily. He realized that he was not being a good brother. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I was just having fun. I didn't mean to make you sad. Do you want to play with the hose too?" + +Lily looked at Max. She saw that he was sorry. She decided to forgive him. She nodded and smiled. + +"Okay, Max," she said. "But let's take turns and be gentle. And let's not spray each other in the face. Deal?" + +"Deal," Max said. He gave Lily the hose and let her spray him. He did not mind getting wet. He was happy to play with Lily. They both had fun. +Sara was a little girl who liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers, the bugs and the birds. But she did not like the cobwebs. She thought they were scary and icky. She always ran away when she saw a cobweb. + +One day, she saw a big cobweb on a rose bush. She was about to run away, when she heard a tiny voice. "Hello, little girl. Don't be afraid of me. I am a spider, and this is my home." + +Sara was curious, but also worried. She asked, "Why do you make cobwebs? They are not pretty. They are sticky and dusty." + +The spider said, "I make cobwebs to catch my food. I eat flies and mosquitoes. They are not good for you. They can bite you and make you sick. I help you by eating them. And cobwebs are not ugly. They are very fine and strong. They shine in the sun and the dew. They are like art." + +Sara looked at the cobweb again. She saw that it was blue in the light. She saw that it had many shapes and patterns. She saw that it was not scary, but amazing. She said, "I'm sorry, spider. I did not know that. You are very clever and helpful. Can I be your friend?" + +The spider said, "Of course, little girl. You can be my friend. And I can teach you more about cobwebs and spiders. But you have to be careful. Not all spiders are friendly. Some can hurt you. And not all cobwebs are safe. Some can trap you. You have to respect them and leave them alone." + +Sara nodded. She said, "Thank you, spider. I will remember that. And I will not worry about cobwebs anymore. I will admire them and learn from them. And I will visit you again." + +The spider said, "You are welcome, little girl. You are very brave and kind. And I will be happy to see you again." + +Sara smiled and waved goodbye. She ran back to her house, feeling happy and smart. She had made a new friend and learned a new thing. She had overcome her fear and opened her mind. + +The moral of the story is: Don't judge things by their appearance. Be curious and respectful. You can find beauty and wisdom in unexpected places. +Lily and Tom were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside to play. They looked around the house for something fun to do. They saw a big box in the corner of the living room. It had a picture of a castle on it. + +"Let's make the castle!" Lily said. "It looks pretty!" + +"OK!" Tom agreed. "But how do we do it?" + +They opened the box and found many pieces of cardboard. They had different shapes and colors. Some had windows, some had towers, some had flags. They also found a book with instructions. + +They started to follow the book and put the pieces together. They used tape and glue to make them stick. They worked hard and had fun. They made the walls, the roof, the gate and the door. They decorated the castle with stickers and crayons. + +They were almost done. They only had to put the door in its place. But they had a problem. The door was too big for the hole. It did not fit. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "The door is wrong! We can't complete the castle!" + +"What do we do?" Tom asked. "Can we cut the door?" + +"No, we can't!" Lily said. "We will ruin it!" + +They were sad and frustrated. They did not know how to fix the door. They looked at the book again. Maybe they missed something. + +They saw a small note at the bottom of the page. It said: "The door is not wrong. It is a magic door. It can change its size. To make it fit, you have to say the magic word: 'Abracadabra!'" + +Lily and Tom were surprised. They did not know the door was magic. They decided to try the magic word. + +They held the door in front of the hole and said together: "Abracadabra!" + +The door shrank and fit perfectly. They taped it to the wall. They had completed the castle! + +They were happy and proud. They cheered and hugged. They went inside the castle and pretended to be a princess and a knight. They had a lot of fun. + +They forgot about the gloomy day. They only saw their beautiful castle. They had made it with their own hands. And with a little magic. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a man with a big camera. He was taking pictures of the birds and the flowers. + +"Can I see your camera?" Tom asked the man. + +"Sorry, no. This is a very expensive and delicate camera. You might break it or lose it," the man said. + +Tom was angry. He wanted to see the camera. He thought the man was mean and weird. He had an idea. He ran to the fountain and filled his cup with water. He came back and threw the water at the man and his camera. + +"Ha ha! Take that, you weird man!" Tom shouted. + +The man was shocked and wet. His camera was soaked and ruined. He was very sad and angry. He yelled at Tom and told him to go away. + +Lily saw what Tom did. She was scared and sorry. She ran to the man and said, "I'm sorry, mister. Tom was bad. He should not have done that. Your camera was nice and pretty. Are you okay?" + +The man calmed down a bit. He saw that Lily was kind and polite. He said, "Thank you, little girl. You are very sweet. But your friend was very naughty. He should learn to respect other people's things and feelings. He should apologize and make up for what he did." + +Lily nodded. She went to Tom and said, "Tom, you were wrong. You hurt the man and his camera. You should say sorry and help him. Maybe you can give him some money or a new camera. Or you can do something nice for him. That's what good friends do." + +Tom felt ashamed. He realized he was mean and selfish. He did not want to lose Lily's friendship. He went to the man and said, "I'm sorry, mister. I was bad. I should not have thrown water at you and your camera. I was jealous and angry. Can I do something to make you happy?" + +The man smiled. He said, "You are brave to admit your mistake. I forgive you. But you still have to learn your lesson. You can help me dry my camera and see if it still works. And you can promise me to never do something like that again. And you can be nice to other people who have different things and hobbies than you. That's what good people do." + +Tom agreed. He helped the man dry his camera and hoped it would work. He also promised to be nice and respectful. He learned that it is wrong to hurt others and their things. He learned that it is better to be curious and friendly. He learned that he can make new friends and have fun with different things. He hugged Lily and thanked her for being a good friend. He hugged the man and thanked him for being a good teacher. He was happy and proud. He learned a valuable lesson. +Tom and Anna liked to play in the big house. The big house had many rooms and halls and stairs. Some rooms had toys and books and pictures. Some rooms had beds and chairs and tables. Some rooms had things that Tom and Anna did not know. + +One day, Tom and Anna found a door that they had never seen before. The door was small and dark and had a lock. Tom and Anna wanted to see what was behind the door. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They tried to push the door, but it did not move. + +"Maybe there is a secret way to open the door," Tom said. + +"Maybe there is a magic word," Anna said. + +They tried to say different words, but nothing happened. They were about to give up, when they heard a voice. + +"Who are you and what do you want?" the voice said. + +Tom and Anna were scared. They did not know who was talking. They looked around, but they could not see anyone. + +"We are Tom and Anna. We are playing in the big house. We want to see what is behind the door," Tom said. + +"Behind the door is a chamber. A chamber is a special room. Only famous people can go in the chamber. You are not famous. You cannot go in the chamber," the voice said. + +"Why not? What is in the chamber?" Anna asked. + +"That is a secret. You have to be famous to know the secret. If you want to be famous, you have to do something great. Something that everyone will remember. Something that will include your name in a book or a song or a picture," the voice said. + +Tom and Anna thought for a moment. They wanted to be famous. They wanted to know the secret. They wanted to see the chamber. + +"What can we do to be famous?" they asked. + +The voice did not answer. It was silent. Tom and Anna looked at each other. They had an idea. They ran to the nearest room. They found some paper and crayons. They started to draw and write. They made a story. A story about a boy and a girl who found a chamber in a big house. A story that included their names and the voice and the secret. A story that they hoped would make them famous. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass. The grass was green and soft. They saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. + +"Let's go up there!" Tom said. "Maybe we can see the whole park from the top!" + +"OK!" Lily said. "But be careful, it looks steep!" + +They ran to the hill and started to climb. They used their hands and feet to hold on to the dirt and rocks. They felt powerful and brave. They reached the top and looked around. They saw the trees, the flowers, the swings and the slide. They also saw a big cloud in the sky. + +"Wow, look at that cloud!" Lily said. "It looks like a dragon!" + +"It does!" Tom said. "Maybe it can breathe fire and fly!" + +They pretended that the cloud was a dragon and they were its friends. They made noises and gestures to talk to it. They had fun. + +But then, the cloud started to change. It became darker and bigger. It made a loud noise like thunder. It started to rain. + +"Oh no, the dragon is angry!" Tom said. "We have to run!" + +"Let's go!" Lily said. "We don't want to get wet!" + +They slid down the hill and ran to the slide. They found a dry spot under the slide and sat there. They were scared and cold. + +"Maybe the dragon didn't like us playing with it," Lily said. + +"Maybe it just wanted to sleep," Tom said. + +They looked at the cloud again. It was still dark and noisy. But they saw a small part of it that was lighter and quieter. It looked like a smile. + +"Maybe the dragon is not angry anymore," Lily said. "Maybe it is just saying goodbye." + +"Maybe it is," Tom said. "Goodbye, dragon. Thank you for playing with us." + +They waved to the cloud and smiled. They felt happy and warm. They decided to lie under the slide and wait for the rain to stop. They closed their eyes and dreamed of dragons. +Lily loved to read novels. She had many novels in her room. She liked to look at the pictures and make up stories in her head. Sometimes she read the words too, but they were hard. She wanted to read more words. + +One day, she found a new novel on her shelf. It was big and shiny. It had a picture of a castle and a dragon on the cover. Lily was curious. She opened the novel and saw more pictures inside. She saw a princess, a knight, a witch, and a fairy. She wanted to read this novel. + +She took the novel to her bed and started to read. She read the first page. It said: "Once upon a time, there was a magic land where anything could happen. But beware, for there was also a dark curse that could make things disappear." Lily was excited. She turned the page. + +She read the second page. It said: "The princess lived in the castle with her father, the king. She was happy and kind. She had a friend, the fairy, who visited her every day. The fairy gave her a gift, a necklace with a blue stone. She said: 'This is a special necklace. It will protect you from the curse. But you must never take it off, or you will disappear.'" Lily was curious. She looked at the picture of the necklace. It was pretty. + +She read the third page. It said: "The knight lived in the village with his mother, the baker. He was brave and strong. He had a dream, to become a hero. He had a friend, the dragon, who lived in the forest. The dragon taught him how to fight and fly. He said: 'You are a great knight. You can do anything. But you must never forget your friend, or I will disappear.'" Lily was impressed. She looked at the picture of the dragon. It was big. + +She read the fourth page. It said: "The witch lived in the cave with her cat, the black. She was angry and mean. She had a plan, to destroy the magic land. She had a spell, to make things disappear. She said: 'I hate this land. I hate the princess, the knight, the fairy, and the dragon. I will make them all disappear. But I need something, a blue stone. It is the key to the curse.'" Lily was scared. She looked at the picture of the witch. She was ugly. + +She read the fifth page. It said: "One day, the witch came to the castle. She disguised herself as a lady. She saw the princess and said: 'Hello, princess. You are so beautiful. I have a gift for you, a ring with a red stone. It will make you more beautiful. But you must give me something, your necklace with the blue stone. It is old and dull.'" Lily was worried. She wanted to warn the princess. She shouted: "No, princess, don't do it!" + +But it was too late. The princess took off her necklace and gave it to the witch. The witch put on the necklace and laughed. She said: "Thank you, princess. You are so foolish. Now I have the blue stone. Now I can make you disappear." She pointed her finger at the princess and said a word. The princess disappeared. + +Lily was shocked. She dropped the novel. She cried: "No, no, no! Bring her back! Bring her back!" She picked up the novel and looked at the next page. It was blank. There was no more story. The novel was over. Lily was sad. She wondered what happened to the princess, the knight, the fairy, and the dragon. She wished they could come back. She wished the novel could continue. She wished she could read more words. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big crane near the park. The crane was lifting heavy things and making loud noises. + +"Wow, look at that crane!" Lily said. "It is so big and strong!" + +"I want to see it closer!" Ben said. "Let's go and discuss with the crane driver. Maybe he will let us ride in the crane!" + +Lily was scared. She did not want to go near the crane. She thought it was dangerous. She said to Ben, "No, Ben, we should not go. The crane driver might be angry. And the crane might hurt us. Let's stay here and play with our toys." + +But Ben did not listen. He was curious and brave. He said to Lily, "Don't be silly, Lily. The crane driver will be nice. And the crane will be fun. Come on, let's go!" + +He ran towards the crane, leaving Lily behind. Lily felt sad and worried. She wanted to be loyal to Ben, but she also wanted to be safe. She did not know what to do. + +She decided to follow Ben, but slowly and carefully. She hoped that nothing bad would happen. But she was wrong. + +When Ben reached the crane, he saw the crane driver inside a small cabin. He waved at him and shouted, "Hello, Mr. Crane Driver! Can we discuss with you? Can we ride in your crane?" + +The crane driver did not hear Ben. He was busy and tired. He did not see Ben either. He was looking at the heavy things he was lifting. He did not notice that Ben was standing under the crane. + +He pushed a button and the crane moved. It swung its long arm and hit Ben with a big metal hook. Ben fell to the ground and did not get up. He was very hurt. + +Lily saw what happened and screamed. She ran to Ben and cried. She called for help. But it was too late. Ben was gone. + +The crane driver heard the scream and the cry. He looked down and saw Lily and Ben. He realized what he had done. He felt very sorry and scared. He did not mean to hurt them. He did not know they were there. + +He got out of the cabin and ran to them. He tried to help, but he could not. He called for an ambulance, but he knew it was no use. He wished he had seen them and heard them. He wished he had stopped the crane. + +But he did not. And now, Lily and Ben were no longer best friends. They were no longer anything. +One day, Tom and Sue wanted to walk to the park. They put on their hats and shoes and told their mom. "Can we go, please?" they asked. + +Mom looked at the sky. It was dark and windy. She heard a loud noise. She saw a big, scary tornado. It was spinning fast and breaking things. "No, you can't go," she said. "There is a tornado. We have to stay inside and be safe." + +Tom and Sue were sad. They liked the park. They wanted to play on the swings and slides. They did not like the tornado. It was ugly and mean. They wished it would go away. + +They went to the living room and looked out the window. They saw the tornado moving closer. They were scared. They hugged their mom. Mom hugged them back. She said, "Don't worry. The tornado will not hurt us. We have a strong house. We have each other. We will be okay." + +After a while, the tornado moved away. It did not touch their house. It went to another place. The sky became bright and sunny. The noise became quiet. Tom and Sue were happy. They saw a rainbow. It was colorful and attractive. They smiled. They said, "Look, mom. The tornado is gone. The rainbow is here. Can we go to the park now?" + +Mom smiled too. She said, "Yes, you can go. The park is safe now. But be careful. And come back soon. I love you." + +Tom and Sue said, "We love you too, mom." They put on their hats and shoes again. They walked to the park. They played on the swings and slides. They had fun. They thanked the rainbow. They forgot the tornado. +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, it was very cold. Anna wore a warm coat and a hat. Ben did not. He said he was not cold. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Anna said. + +"No, let's go on the swings!" Ben said. + +They did not agree. They got mad at each other. Ben was rude. He said Anna was silly and boring. Anna was sad. She said Ben was mean and selfish. + +They went to different parts of the park. They did not play together. They did not have fun. + +After a while, Anna and Ben felt sorry. They missed each other. They wanted to be friends again. They looked for each other. They found each other near the fountain. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I was rude. You are not silly and boring. You are smart and fun." Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I was sad. You are not mean and selfish. You are kind and generous." Anna said. + +They hugged. They said they were sorry. They were friends again. + +"Let's go on the slide and the swings!" Anna said. + +"Okay, let's go!" Ben said. + +They ran to the playground. They played together. They had fun. + +They did not regret saying sorry. They were happy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. They have many toys in a big box. They take out the toys and make a game. + +Lily has a doll. She puts a label on the doll. The label says "Lily". Tom has a car. He puts a label on the car. The label says "Tom". They show each other their labels. They are happy. + +But then, Tom sees a robot. He likes the robot. He wants the robot. He takes the label from the car and puts it on the robot. He says "This is my robot. It has my label". + +Lily is sad. She says "No, that is not your robot. That is my robot. I gave it to you for your birthday. It has a card with my name. See?" She shows Tom the card. + +Tom is angry. He says "I don't care. I like the robot more than the car. The robot is strong. The car is weak. I want the robot". He pushes Lily and takes the robot. + +Lily cries. She says "You are not my friend. You are mean. You take my things. You hurt me". She runs away with her doll. + +Tom is alone. He has the robot. But he is not happy. He looks at the robot. He sees the label. The label says "Tom". But the robot does not talk to him. The robot does not play with him. The robot does not love him. + +Tom feels sorry. He says "I was wrong. I was selfish. I miss Lily. I miss the car. I want to say sorry". He takes the robot and the label. He runs after Lily. + +He finds Lily. He says "Lily, I am sorry. I was bad. I took your robot. I hurt you. Please forgive me". He gives her the robot and the label. He says "This is your robot. It has your label. You can have it back". + +Lily is surprised. She says "Tom, you are sorry? You give me back my robot? You are nice". She smiles. She says "Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. You are my friend". She gives him the car and the label. She says "This is your car. It has your label. You can have it back". + +Tom is happy. He says "Thank you, Lily. You are kind. You are my friend". He takes the car and the label. He says "This is my car. It has my label. I like it". + +They hug. They are friends again. They play with the robot and the car. They share their toys. They have fun. + +The end. +Sara and Ben like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. Sara has a red car that is very fast and powerful. Ben has a blue car that is very big and strong. They like to race their cars on the floor and see who wins. + +One day, they decide to play a new game. They pretend that their cars need gas to run. They find a small bottle and fill it with water. They say that the water is gas and they take turns to fill their cars with it. They have fun making noises and pretending to drive. + +But then, Ben has a bad idea. He thinks it would be funny to slap Sara's car with his hand and make it fly. He waits until Sara is not looking and then he hits her car hard. Sara's car flies across the room and hits the wall. Sara hears a loud bang and turns around. She sees her car broken and wet. She feels very sad and angry. + +She runs to Ben and slaps his face with her hand. Ben feels a sharp pain and starts to cry. He drops his car and holds his cheek. He feels very sorry and scared. He says he is sorry and he did not mean to break Sara's car. He asks Sara to forgive him and to be his friend again. + +Sara looks at Ben and sees his tears and his red cheek. She feels sorry for him too. She remembers that he is her brother and she loves him. She says she forgives him and she hugs him. They say they are sorry and they hug each other. They decide to fix Sara's car together and to share their gas. They learn to be kind and careful with their toys and with each other. They are happy again. +Tim and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump, and slide on the grass. One day, they see a bald man on a bench. He is reading a book. He has a big hat on his head. + +"Look at that man," Tim says to Ben. "He has no hair. Why does he have no hair?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe he is old. Maybe he is sick. Maybe he likes it." + +They are curious. They want to see his head. They walk to the bench. They try to be quiet. They step behind the man. They reach for his hat. + +"Hey!" the man says. He turns around. He sees Tim and Ben. He is angry. He grabs his hat. He puts it back on his head. + +"What are you doing?" he asks. "Why are you touching my hat?" + +"Sorry, mister," Tim says. "We just wanted to see your head. Why do you have no hair?" + +The man sighs. He is not angry anymore. He is sad. He says, "I have no hair because I have a problem. A problem with my skin. It makes my hair fall out. It is not fun. It is not nice. It hurts sometimes." + +Tim and Ben feel sorry for the man. They say, "We are sorry, mister. We did not know. We did not mean to be rude. We hope you feel better." + +The man smiles. He says, "Thank you, boys. You are kind. You are good. You can see my head if you want. But please don't touch my hat. It is my favorite hat. It keeps my head warm." + +Tim and Ben nod. They look at his head. It is shiny. It has no hair. It has some spots. They think it is strange. But they also think it is okay. They say, "Your head is different. But it is not bad. It is just you. And you are nice." + +The man says, "Thank you, boys. You are smart. You are sweet. You make me happy. Do you want some gum? I have some gum in my pocket. It is tasty. It is chewy." + +Tim and Ben say, "Yes, please. We like gum. Thank you, mister." + +The man gives them some gum. They take it. They unwrap it. They put it in their mouths. They chew it. It is tasty. It is chewy. They say, "Mmm, this is good gum. Thank you, mister." + +The man says, "You are welcome, boys. Enjoy your gum. And enjoy your day. Have fun in the park. And be careful. Don't step on any gum. It is sticky. It is messy. It is hard to get off." + +Tim and Ben say, "Okay, mister. We will be careful. We will not step on any gum. Thank you for the gum. And thank you for the talk. Goodbye, mister." + +The man says, "Goodbye, boys. Have a nice day." + +Tim and Ben wave to the man. They run back to the grass. They play some more. They are happy. They have new gum. And they have a new friend. A bald friend. A nice friend. A friend with a big hat. +Lily and her mom went to a restaurant for lunch. Lily liked the restaurant because it had many pictures on the wall and a big fish tank. She saw a brown fish with a long tail and pointed at it. + +"Look, mom, a brown fish!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it's a brown fish. Do you like it?" mom asked. + +"I like it. It is pretty. Can I take it home?" Lily asked. + +Mom smiled and shook her head. "No, honey, you can't take the fish home. It belongs to the restaurant. It needs water and food and friends to be happy. If you take it home, it will be sad and sick." + +Lily frowned. She wanted the fish. But she did not want to make it sad and sick. She thought for a moment. Then she had an idea. + +"Can I take a picture of the fish?" Lily asked. + +Mom nodded. "Yes, you can take a picture of the fish. That's a good idea. Then you can look at it whenever you want." + +Mom took out her phone and helped Lily take a picture of the brown fish. Lily smiled and said thank you. She showed the picture to the waiter, who gave her a sticker of a fish. Lily was happy. She ate her lunch and said goodbye to the fish. She decided to name it Brownie. +Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red fruits. They want to pick some fruits for a snack. + +"Look, Jen, red fruits! Let's get some!" Tim says. + +"OK, Tim, but be careful. The tree is very high," Jen says. + +Tim and Jen climb the tree. They reach for the fruits. They are juicy and sweet. They eat some and put some in their pockets. + +"Yum, yum, these are good snacks!" Tim says. + +"Shh, Tim, I hear something. It sounds like a dog," Jen says. + +Tim and Jen look down. They see a big, black dog. It has sharp teeth and angry eyes. It barks and growls. It wants the fruits. + +"Uh-oh, Jen, the dog is mad. It wants our snacks!" Tim says. + +"Quick, Tim, let's go down. Maybe it will go away," Jen says. + +Tim and Jen try to go down. But the tree is wet. It rained last night. The branches are slippery. Tim and Jen lose their grip. They fall. + +"Help, Jen, help!" Tim says. + +"Tim, Tim, are you OK?" Jen says. + +But Tim is not OK. He lands on a branch. It snaps. It hurts his leg. He cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow, my leg, my leg!" Tim says. + +Jen lands on the ground. She is OK. But the dog is not. It sees the fruits fall. It runs to get them. It does not see Jen. It bumps into her. It knocks her down. It bites her arm. She cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow, my arm, my arm!" Jen says. + +The dog eats the fruits. It is happy. It wags its tail. It leaves. + +Tim and Jen are not happy. They are wet, hurt and scared. They have no snacks. They have no fun. They have a bad day. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their dog, Max. Max is a big, white lab. He is very friendly and smart. + +One day, Lily and Ben go to the park with Max. They see a pond with ducks and fish. They want to feed them some bread. They ask their mom for some bread. Mom says yes, but tells them to be careful and not go too close to the water. + +Lily and Ben take some bread and go to the pond. They break the bread into small pieces and throw them to the ducks and fish. The ducks and fish come to eat the bread. Lily and Ben are happy. They laugh and clap their hands. + +Max also likes the pond. He sees the ducks and fish. He wants to play with them. He runs to the water and jumps in. He splashes and barks. The ducks and fish are scared. They swim away. Lily and Ben are surprised. They call Max to come back. + +"Max, Max, come here!" they shout. "You are wet and dirty. You cannot play with the ducks and fish. They do not like you." + +Max does not listen. He is having fun. He chases the ducks and fish. He does not see the big rock in the water. He hits his head on the rock. He cries out in pain. + +Lily and Ben hear Max cry. They are worried. They run to the water. They see Max with blood on his head. They are scared. They hug Max and try to comfort him. + +"Max, Max, are you okay?" they ask. "We are sorry. We love you. You are our best friend." + +Mom hears Lily and Ben cry. She comes to the pond. She sees Max with blood on his head. She is shocked. She takes Max in her arms and carries him to the car. She tells Lily and Ben to get in the car too. She drives to the vet. + +The vet is a nice man. He wears a white coat. He works in a lab. He examines Max and gives him some medicine. He puts a bandage on his head. He tells Mom that Max will be fine. He just needs some rest and care. + +Lily and Ben are relieved. They thank the vet. They gaze at Max with love. They stroke his fur and kiss his nose. They tell him they are sorry and they love him. Max wags his tail and licks their faces. He is happy. He knows they are his family. +Tom and Mia were playing in the woods. They liked to climb trees and look for birds and squirrels. They saw a big nest on a high branch. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go up there," Tom said. "Maybe there are eggs or babies." + +"OK, but be careful," Mia said. "The branch looks thin and weak." + +They climbed the tree and reached the nest. They peeked inside and saw a small, furry animal. It had long ears and a fluffy tail. It was a baby rabbit. + +"Wow, it's so cute!" Mia said. "Can we touch it?" + +"Shh, don't scare it," Tom said. He reached out his hand and gently stroked the rabbit. It was soft and warm. It twitched its nose and looked at them with big, brown eyes. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a gunshot. They saw a man with a gun and a dog. He was a hunter. He was looking for rabbits to kill and eat. + +"Run, run!" Tom shouted. "He's coming this way!" + +They tried to climb down the tree, but the branch broke. They fell to the ground. The hunter saw them and ran towards them. The dog barked and growled. Tom and Mia were scared and hurt. They felt helpless. + +"Help, help!" Mia cried. "Someone, please help us!" + +The hunter was about to grab them, when they heard another voice. It was their dad. He had heard the gunshot and the cries. He had followed them to the woods. He was angry and brave. + +"Stop, stop!" he yelled. "Leave my kids alone!" + +He ran to the hunter and pushed him away. He picked up Tom and Mia and hugged them. He checked if they were OK. They had some scratches and bruises, but nothing serious. + +"Are you OK, kids?" he asked. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were here. You shouldn't have gone so far. It's dangerous." + +"We're OK, dad," Tom said. "But what about the baby rabbit?" + +They looked at the nest. The baby rabbit was still there. It was scared and alone. It had no mom or dad. + +"Can we take it home, dad?" Mia asked. "Can we keep it and take care of it?" + +Dad looked at the baby rabbit. He felt sorry for it. He nodded and smiled. + +"OK, kids," he said. "We can take it home. But you have to promise me something. You have to be gentle and kind to it. And you have to never go to the woods without me again. Deal?" + +"Deal, dad," Tom and Mia said. They thanked him and kissed him. They took the baby rabbit and put it in their backpack. They named it Fluffy. They walked home with dad. They were happy and safe. They had a new friend. +Jill and Tom were playing in the yard. They saw a pretty bird on a tree. The bird had red and yellow feathers and a big ring on its leg. + +"Look, Tom, a pretty bird!" Jill said. + +"Let's catch it, Jill!" Tom said. + +They ran to the shed and found a trap. It was a box with a stick and a string. They put some bread inside the box and set the trap under the tree. + +"Come on, bird, eat the bread!" Tom said. + +The bird saw the bread and flew down. It went inside the box and pecked the bread. Tom pulled the string and the stick fell. The box closed and the bird was trapped. + +"Yay, we caught it!" Jill said. + +They ran to the trap and lifted the box. The bird was scared and angry. It flapped its wings and squawked. It bit Tom's finger with its beak. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. + +"Let it go, Tom, let it go!" Jill said. + +Tom dropped the box and the bird flew out. It flew back to the tree and glared at them. It made a loud ring with its leg. + +"Sorry, bird, sorry!" Jill said. + +"Bad trap, bad trap!" Tom said. + +They ran back to the house and hugged their mom. They learned not to trap pretty birds. +Ben and Lily liked to play in their yard. They had a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They also liked to look at the house next to theirs. It was very different from their house. It was modern. It had big windows, shiny metal, and funny shapes. + +One day, they saw a new neighbor moving in. He had a big truck with many boxes. He also had a bike. It was not a normal bike. It had two wheels in the front and one in the back. It also had a twisty handle that made it go fast or slow. + +"Hello, kids!" the neighbor said. "Do you want to see my bike?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben and Lily said. + +The neighbor smiled and brought his bike to the yard. He showed them how to twist the handle and make the bike move. He let them sit on the bike and try it. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Ben said. + +"It's like a roller coaster!" Lily said. + +The neighbor laughed. "I'm glad you like it. My name is Max. What are your names?" + +"I'm Ben and this is Lily. We live here," Ben said, pointing to his house. + +"Nice to meet you, Ben and Lily. I'm your new neighbor. I hope we can be friends," Max said. + +"We hope so too," Ben and Lily said. + +They played with the bike for a while, then they helped Max unpack some of his boxes. They found some toys, books, and games. They had a lot of fun together. They liked their new neighbor. He was modern, but he was also nice. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play on the lawn in front of their houses. They had a lot of fun with their toys and balls. But there was a big dog that lived on the other side of the street. The dog was mean and loud. He liked to chase and bite things. Sometimes he ran out of his yard and scared Tim and Sam. + +One day, Tim and Sam were playing with their new cars on the lawn. They made noises and raced them on the grass. They did not see the dog sneak out of his gate. The dog saw the cars and wanted to catch them. He ran across the street and barked. Tim and Sam heard him and got scared. They dropped their cars and ran to their houses. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. "The dog is coming!" + +But the dog was faster. He reached the lawn and grabbed one of the cars in his mouth. He shook it and tore it apart. He was about to get the other car when he heard a loud roar. It was Rex, Tim's big cat. Rex was sleeping on the porch, but he woke up when he heard the noise. He saw the dog hurting the cars and his friends. He did not like that. He jumped off the porch and ran to the lawn. He puffed up his fur and hissed. He showed his claws and teeth. He was not afraid of the dog. + +"Go away, you bad dog!" he said. "Leave the cars and my friends alone! This is my lawn and I will protect it!" + +The dog was surprised. He did not expect a cat to stand up to him. He dropped the car and growled. He wanted to fight, but he saw Rex was ready. He thought Rex was brave and strong. He decided he did not want to mess with him. He turned around and ran back to his yard. He did not bother Tim and Sam again. + +Tim and Sam came out of their houses. They saw Rex on the lawn. They saw their cars. One was broken and one was okay. They felt sad and happy. They hugged Rex and thanked him. + +"Thank you, Rex!" they said. "You are a good cat! You saved our car and us! You are our hero!" + +Rex purred and licked them. He was happy too. He liked Tim and Sam. They were his friends. He wanted to protect them. He was a good cat. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play at the park. They both loved the big slide, but there was only one slide and many children. Sometimes they had to wait for their turn, and sometimes they could go together. + +One day, they went to the park and saw a new slide. It was bigger and faster and had a twist. Lily and Ben ran to the new slide, but they saw a long line of children waiting. They joined the line and waited and waited. + +When they were almost at the front, a boy cut in front of them. He had a red shirt and a mean face. He said, "I want to go first. This is my slide. Go away!" + +Lily and Ben were angry. They said, "No, you can't do that. That's not fair. We were here before you. You have to wait like everyone else." + +The boy said, "No, I don't. I'm bigger and stronger than you. You are just babies. This slide is too scary for you. You should go to the baby slide." + +Lily and Ben felt hurt and scared. They didn't want to fight with the boy, but they also didn't want to give up their turn. They started to quarrel with the boy. They shouted and pushed and pulled. + +The other children in the line were annoyed. They said, "Stop it! Stop it! You are making too much noise. You are ruining the fun. You are being selfish. Let us go on the slide." + +The park keeper heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. He saw Lily and Ben and the boy quarreling. He said, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting? Don't you know how to share and take turns?" + +Lily and Ben and the boy looked at the park keeper. They felt ashamed and sorry. They said, "We're sorry, sir. We wanted to go on the new slide, but the boy cut in front of us. He said it was his slide and we were babies. We got angry and quarreled." + +The park keeper said, "That was not nice of the boy. He should apologize to you. But you also should not have quarreled. You should have told me or another adult. Quarreling only makes things worse. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben and the boy nodded. They said, "Yes, sir. We understand. We're sorry." + +The park keeper said, "Good. Now, why don't you all go on the new slide together? It's more fun to play with friends than to be envious and mean. Maybe you can make up and be friends." + +Lily and Ben and the boy smiled. They said, "Okay, sir. Thank you. We'll try." + +They went on the new slide together. They had a lot of fun. They laughed and cheered and forgot their quarrel. They learned to share and take turns and be kind. They became friends and played happily at the park. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toy cars and trucks. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It was navy blue and had a picture of a ship on it. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tim said. "It is a ship box. Maybe we can turn it into a boat and sail away." + +"Good idea!" Sam said. "Let's get some scissors and tape and make a sail and a flag." + +They worked hard to cut and stick the box. They made a sail from a white sheet and a flag from a red cloth. They drew windows and doors on the box with a marker. They were very proud of their boat. + +They put their boat on the grass and climbed inside. They pretended to be sailors and pirates. They made noises like waves and seagulls. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, the sky became dark and cloudy. It started to rain. The rain was terrible. It made the box wet and soggy. The sail and the flag fell down. The windows and doors faded away. The boat was ruined. + +"Oh no!" Tim cried. "Our boat is broken. We can't sail anymore." + +"I'm sorry, Tim," Sam said. "It was a good boat. But maybe we can make another one someday." + +They hugged each other and ran inside. They were sad, but they still loved their ship box. They hoped the sun would come out soon. +Tim and Mia were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They also gave him two buttons for eyes and a chain for a mouth. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Tim said. "You are very big and cold and white." + +"Hello, Tim and Mia!" Mia said in a funny voice, pretending to be the snowman. "You are very small and warm and colorful." + +They laughed and hugged the snowman. They liked their new friend. + +But then the sun came out and it was very bright and hot. The snowman started to melt. His hat fell off, his scarf got wet and his carrot nose dropped to the ground. + +"Oh no, Mr. Snowman!" Tim cried. "You are going away!" + +"Please don't go, Mr. Snowman!" Mia sobbed. "We love you!" + +They tried to fix the snowman, but it was too late. He was too small and soft and wet. His buttons and chain fell off too. + +They were very sad and they cried. + +Then they saw something hairy and brown behind a tree. It was a big dog. He came out and wagged his tail. He licked their faces and made them giggle. + +"Hello, doggy!" Tim said. "You are very big and warm and hairy." + +"Hello, Tim and Mia!" Mia said in a funny voice, pretending to be the dog. "You are very small and sweet and friendly." + +They laughed and hugged the dog. They liked their new friend. + +They forgot about the snowman and played with the dog. They threw sticks and balls and ran around. + +They were very happy and they smiled. +Anna and Ben are twins. They share a room and a big bed. They have many toys and books, but they also like to play with their pillows. Sometimes they make forts with the pillows, or pretend they are clouds or animals. + +One day, Anna and Ben are playing with their pillows. Anna picks a pink pillow and Ben picks a blue pillow. They hug their pillows and smile. + +"Let's play a game," Anna says. "We can take turns to ask each other questions. If you answer right, you keep your pillow. If you answer wrong, you give your pillow to the other one." + +"OK," Ben says. "That sounds fun. You go first." + +Anna thinks for a moment. She wants to ask Ben a hard question, so she can get his pillow. She likes the blue pillow more than the pink one. + +"What is the name of our dog?" Anna asks. + +"That's easy," Ben says. "Our dog is called Spot. He has black spots on his white fur. He is very cute and friendly." + +"You are right," Anna says. She feels a little sad. She wanted the blue pillow. + +"Now it's my turn," Ben says. He thinks for a moment. He wants to ask Anna a easy question, so she can keep her pillow. He knows she likes the pink pillow more than the blue one. + +"What is the color of the sky?" Ben asks. + +"That's easy, too," Anna says. "The sky is blue. Sometimes it has white clouds or yellow sun or stars." + +"You are right," Ben says. He smiles. He is happy that Anna is happy. + +Anna and Ben hug their pillows again. They look at each other and laugh. + +"You are very generous, Ben," Anna says. "You asked me a easy question, so I can keep my pillow. Thank you." + +"You are very generous, too, Anna," Ben says. "You let me keep my pillow, even though you like it more. Thank you." + +Anna and Ben are twins. They share a room and a big bed. They have many toys and books, but they also like to play with their pillows. They are very generous and kind to each other. They are very happy. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the forest. They liked to climb the big pines and look at the birds and the sky. They imagined they were kings and queens of the trees. + +One day, they saw a new pine. It was very tall and had many branches. Tom wanted to climb it first. He said, "I am the king of the pines. I will go to the top and see everything." Lily said, "No, I want to go first. I am the queen of the pines. I will go to the top and wave to the sun." + +They both ran to the pine and tried to climb it. They pushed and pulled each other. They did not share or take turns. They got angry and sad. + +They climbed higher and higher. The wind blew hard. The pine swayed and shook. Tom and Lily felt dizzy. They were scared. They wanted to go down. But they did not know how. + +They called for help. They said, "Help, help, we are stuck in the pine. We are dizzy and scared. Please help us." + +A bird heard them. It was a friendly bird. It flew to the pine and said, "Why are you stuck in the pine? Why are you dizzy and scared?" + +Tom and Lily said, "We wanted to climb the pine. We did not share or take turns. We got angry and sad. We climbed too high. The wind blew hard. The pine swayed and shook. We want to go down. But we do not know how." + +The bird said, "That is not good. You should share and take turns. You should not get angry and sad. You should be careful and safe. I will help you. Follow me." + +The bird showed them how to go down. It flew from branch to branch. It said, "Go slowly and gently. Hold on tight. Watch your step. You can do it." + +Tom and Lily followed the bird. They went slowly and gently. They held on tight. They watched their step. They did it. + +They reached the ground. They felt happy and relieved. They thanked the bird. They said, "Thank you, thank you, you are a good bird. You helped us. You saved us." + +The bird said, "You are welcome, welcome, you are good children. You learned your lesson. You will share and take turns. You will not get angry and sad. You will be careful and safe." + +Tom and Lily hugged the bird. They said, "We will, we will, we promise. We are sorry. We are sorry." + +They hugged each other. They said, "We are sorry. We are sorry. We are friends. We are friends." + +They played in the forest. They climbed the pines. They looked at the birds and the sky. They imagined they were kings and queens of the trees. But they shared and took turns. They did not get angry and sad. They were careful and safe. They were happy. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys. One day, Mom said they could go to the store with her. They were very happy. + +At the store, they saw many things. They saw books, and balls, and cars, and dolls. They wanted to touch everything. Mom said they could pick one thing each. Tim picked a book. Sam picked a ball. + +But then, they saw something else. It was a giant teddy bear. It was bigger than them. It was soft and brown and had a red bow. They both wanted the teddy bear. + +"Mom, can we have the teddy bear?" they asked. + +"No, boys, the teddy bear is too big and too expensive. You already have your things. Let's go pay now," Mom said. + +But Tim and Sam did not listen. They ran to the teddy bear and hugged it. They did not want to let go. + +"Mine!" Tim said. + +"No, mine!" Sam said. + +They started to pull and tug on the teddy bear. They made a lot of noise. Mom was not happy. She came to them and said in a loud voice: + +"Stop it, boys! You are being very naughty. You have to share and be nice. The teddy bear is not yours. Put it back now!" + +Tim and Sam felt scared and sorry. They let go of the teddy bear. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They hugged and said they loved each other. + +Mom smiled and said: + +"That's better. Now, are you ready to go home?" + +Tim and Sam nodded. They held Mom's hand and walked to the car. They learned their lesson. They were happy with their book and their ball. They did not need the giant teddy bear. +Tim and Sue like to play in the park. They like to swing on the swings, slide on the slides and run on the grass. But today, there is a grumpy man in the park. He has a big key in his hand. He says the park is closed and he wants to lock the gate. + +"Please, mister, can we play a little more?" Tim asks. He likes to swing high and feel the wind in his hair. + +"No, you can't. Go away, you noisy kids. This is my park now. I bought it with my money. And I don't like swings. They are silly and dangerous. I will take them away soon." The grumpy man says. He has a mean face and a loud voice. + +"But we love swings. They are fun and happy. Please, mister, don't take them away. They are our friends." Sue says. She likes to swing low and see the flowers and the birds. + +"I don't care. You have to leave now. Or I will call the police. And I will use my key to lock you in. Then you will be sorry." The grumpy man says. He walks to the gate and puts his key in the hole. + +Tim and Sue are scared. They don't want to be locked in. They don't want to lose their swings. They run to the gate and try to stop the grumpy man. But he is too strong and too fast. He turns his key and shuts the gate. He laughs and walks away. + +Tim and Sue are trapped. They cry and shout for help. But no one hears them. They are alone in the park with no swings, no slides and no grass. They are very sad and very angry. They wish the grumpy man would go away and never come back. They wish they could swing again. But they can't. The end. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play pretend. Today they pretend to be in a luxury hotel. Anna is the guest and Ben is the waiter. + +"Hello, madam. Welcome to the luxury hotel. What can I serve you?" Ben asks with a big smile. + +"I would like some tea and cake, please. And a pillow for my head. And a blanket for my feet. And a book to read. And a toy to play with. And a hat to wear. And a..." Anna says with a big voice. + +"Wow, that is a lot of things. Are you sure you need all of them?" Ben says with a small voice. + +"Yes, I do. I am a very important guest. I want to have everything I want. Hurry up and serve me!" Anna says with a loud voice. + +Ben tries to find all the things Anna wants. He looks in the kitchen, in the bedroom, in the living room, in the closet, in the toy box. He carries them all to Anna. He puts them on the table, on the bed, on the floor, on the chair. He is very busy and very tired. + +"Here you are, madam. All the things you asked for. Enjoy your luxury stay." Ben says with a tired voice. + +"Thank you, waiter. You are very good. But there is one problem. There is no space for me. All the things are too many. They make the bed and the room very tight. I cannot lie down. I cannot sit down. I cannot move. I cannot breathe. Help me, waiter. Take some things away!" Anna says with a scared voice. + +Ben laughs and shakes his head. He takes some things away. He makes some space for Anna. He helps her lie down. He covers her with the blanket. He gives her a hug. + +"Maybe you do not need so many things, madam. Maybe you only need some things. Maybe you only need the things that make you happy and comfortable. Maybe you only need me." Ben says with a sweet voice. + +"Maybe you are right, waiter. Maybe I do not need so many things. Maybe I only need some things. Maybe I only need the things that make me happy and comfortable. Maybe I only need you." Anna says with a soft voice. + +They smile and cuddle. They forget about the tea and the cake, the pillow and the book, the toy and the hat. They enjoy their luxury stay. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their dog, Spot. Spot was a big, black dog with a white patch on his chest. He liked to run and jump and fetch sticks. But today, Spot was very lazy. He did not want to play with Lily and Ben. He only wanted to lie down in the sun and sleep. + +"Come on, Spot, let's play!" Lily said. She threw a stick for Spot to chase. But Spot did not move. He just yawned and closed his eyes. + +"Maybe he is sick," Ben said. He went to check on Spot. He touched his nose and his ears. He looked at his teeth. But Spot did not seem sick. He just seemed lazy. + +"Maybe he is bored," Lily said. She had an idea. She found a squeaky toy in the shape of a bone. She squeaked it near Spot's ear. Spot opened one eye and looked at the toy. He liked squeaky toys. He got up and walked towards Lily. + +"Good boy, Spot!" Lily said. She threw the toy for Spot to chase. Spot ran after the toy and caught it in his mouth. He squeaked it and wagged his tail. He was happy. + +But then, he saw another dog. It was a small, brown dog with a red collar. It was walking with a girl on the other side of the fence. Spot did not like other dogs. He did not like to share his toys. He growled and barked at the other dog. He ran to the fence and tried to bite the other dog. + +"Spot, no!" Lily and Ben shouted. They ran to the fence and tried to pull Spot away. But Spot was strong and angry. He did not listen to Lily and Ben. He kept biting the fence and the other dog. + +The other dog was scared and hurt. It yelped and ran away. The girl was sad and angry. She shouted at Spot and Lily and Ben. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog! You bit my dog! You are mean and naughty!" she said. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said sorry to the girl and her dog. They took Spot inside the house. They told their mom what happened. Their mom was not happy. She said Spot had to learn to be nice and share. She said Lily and Ben had to help her train Spot. She said Spot had to wear a patch on his mouth when he went outside. She said Spot had to say sorry to the other dog and the girl. + +Lily and Ben agreed. They loved Spot, but they did not like when he bit. They wanted Spot to be a good dog. They wanted to play with him and with other dogs. They hoped Spot would learn to be nice and share. They hoped Spot would not be lazy and angry anymore. +Tom is a good boy. He likes to go to school and learn new things. He likes to play with his friends and draw pictures. He likes his teacher, Miss Lee, who is kind and funny. + +Today, Tom has a big task.

They throw a ball and Spot runs to catch it. They laugh and clap when he brings it back. Spot is a good and gentle dog. He likes to play with Mila and Ben. + +But Spot has a problem. He has a flea on his fur. The flea is very small and hard to see, but it bites and makes Spot itch. The flea is not gentle at all. It is mean and hungry. It disturbs Spot when he tries to play or rest. + +One day, Mila and Ben notice that Spot is scratching a lot. They wonder what is wrong with him. They go closer and look at his fur. They see the flea jumping and biting. They feel sorry for Spot. + +"Look, Ben, Spot has a flea!" Mila says. "We have to help him. The flea is hurting him." + +"How can we help him, Mila?" Ben asks. "We can't catch the flea. It is too fast and small." + +"Maybe we can use a comb," Mila says. "Mom has a comb for Spot. It can take out the flea and make his fur smooth." + +Mila and Ben run to the house and get the comb. They come back and gently comb Spot's fur. They are careful not to hurt him. They find the flea and take it out. They throw it away. Spot stops scratching and wags his tail. He is happy and relieved. + +"Good job, Mila and Ben!" Mom says. "You helped Spot get rid of the flea. He is much better now." + +"Thank you, Mom," Mila and Ben say. "We love Spot. He is our friend. We don't want him to be disturbed by the flea." + +They hug Spot and he licks their faces.

He wants Sara to play with him. + +Sara and Ben are friends. But sometimes they want different things. What will they do? +Lily was a little girl who loved to play in the park. She liked to swing, to run, to climb and to slide. But there was one slide that was very big and very high. Lily was afraid of that slide. She thought it was too scary and too fast. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her friend Ben. Ben was a brave boy who liked to try new things. He saw the big slide and wanted to go on it. He asked Lily to come with him. Lily said no. She said she was happy to watch him, but she did not want to slide. + +Ben said okay, and ran to the big slide. He climbed up the ladder and sat on the top. He smiled and waved at Lily. He said, "Are you ready?" Lily nodded and said, "Go, Ben, go!" Ben pushed himself and slid down the big slide. He laughed and shouted, "Whee!" + +Lily clapped and cheered for Ben. She was proud of him. But she also felt a little sad. She wished she could be brave like him. She wished she could slide too. + +Ben saw Lily's face and knew how she felt. He was a compassionate friend. He ran to Lily and gave her a hug. He said, "You don't have to slide if you don't want to. But if you ever want to try, I will help you. I will hold your hand and go with you. I will not let you fall. I will make you feel safe." + +Lily looked at Ben and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. Maybe one day I will try the big slide. But not today. Today, I want to play with you on the small slide. Is that okay?" + +Ben said, "Of course, that's okay. I like the small slide too. Come on, let's go!" He took Lily's hand and led her to the small slide. They slid down together, laughing and having fun. Lily did not tremble anymore. She felt happy and brave. +Tom and Lily were twins who shared a room. They liked to play with their toys, read books and draw pictures. But they did not like to go to bed. Every night, their mom would tell them to brush their teeth, put on their pajamas and get into their beds. She would kiss them good night and turn off the light. + +But Tom and Lily would not sleep. They would whisper to each other, giggle and make funny noises. They would toss and turn and kick their blankets. They would get up and look for their toys or books. They would make a mess in their room. + +Their mom would hear them and come back to their room. She would sigh and say, "Tom and Lily, it is time to sleep. You have to wake up early tomorrow. You have to go to school and learn new things. You have to be good and modest children. Please, be quiet and close your eyes." + +Tom and Lily would nod and say, "Okay, mom. We will sleep. We love you." But as soon as their mom left, they would start to play again. They would not listen to their mom. They would not sleep. + +One night, their mom had an idea. She brought a big box to their room. She said, "Tom and Lily, I have a surprise for you. This is a magic box. If you sleep in this box, you will have sweet dreams. You will see fairies and stars and rainbows. You will be happy and cozy. Do you want to try it?" + +Tom and Lily were curious. They liked surprises. They said, "Yes, mom. We want to try it. What is in the box?" Their mom said, "You will see. But you have to promise me that you will not peek. You have to close your eyes and sleep. Can you do that?" + +Tom and Lily said, "Yes, mom. We can do that. We promise." Their mom smiled and helped them get into the box. She tucked them in and kissed them good night. She said, "Good night, my sweeties. Have a nice sleep. I love you." She turned off the light and left. + +Tom and Lily were excited. They wondered what was in the box. They wanted to peek. But they remembered their promise. They closed their eyes and tried to sleep. They felt something soft and warm and fluffy. They heard something purr and snore and cuddle. They realized that their mom had put their cat, Ginger, in the box with them. Ginger was their best friend. They loved Ginger. They hugged Ginger and smiled. They felt happy and cozy. They fell asleep. They had sweet dreams. They did not make a mess. They did not wake up their mom. They were good and modest children. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the bathroom. They see a razor on the sink. Tim says, "What is this?"

Ow! Ow!" + +Sam is scared. He runs to get Mom. He says, "Mom! Mom! Tim is hurt! He played with the razor!" Mom is scared too. She runs to the bathroom. She sees Tim bleeding. She says, "Oh no! Tim, what did you do?" + +Mom takes Tim to the sink. She washes his arm. She puts a band-aid on it. She hugs him. She says, "Tim, you are very brave. But you should never play with the razor. It is not a toy. It is very dangerous. It can cut you and make you bleed. Do you understand?" + +Tim nods. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't know. It looked like a toy. It hurt a lot.
