You already cut two boxes! I only cut one!" Sara shouted back. + +Mom heard them and came to their room. She was not happy. She had a big book in her hand. It was the law book. She was a lawyer and had to study for a test. + +"Kids, you need to stop fighting and share the scissors and tape. I have to study this law book and I need quiet. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Sara and Tom nodded. They felt sorry for making Mom angry. They knew she worked hard and had to learn many things. + +"Can we help you with the law book, Mom?" Sara asked. + +"Thank you, Sara, but this book is too hard for you. It has many big words and rules. Maybe when you are older, I can teach you some law.

You are hurting each other and ruining your new socks! Why can't you be happy with what you have?" + +Lily and Ben looked at their socks and saw that they were stretched and torn and dirty. They felt sad and sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were selfish and greedy. We did not appreciate our own socks." + +Their mom said, "It's okay, my loves. I forgive you. But you need to learn to share and be grateful. Your own socks are just as good as the other ones. And they are dry and cozy, unlike the ones you fought over. How about you swap one sock each, so you can have both cats and dogs on your feet?" + +Lily and Ben liked that idea. They swapped one sock each and hugged each other. They said, "Thank you, mom. You are right. We should share and be grateful. We love our own socks and each other's socks too. They are all dry and cozy and cute." + +Their mom smiled and said, "You are welcome, my loves.

He saw the ostrich running away and making a lot of noise. People in the park were screaming and running too. + +"Where is Mommy? Where is Daddy?" Tom asked. "We need to go home!" + +But Tom and Lily could not go home. The ostrich had locked the cage door behind it. Tom and Lily were trapped in the cage. They cried and cried. Nobody could hear them.

She said, "It's okay. I know you did not mean to. But you should not touch things that are not yours. And you should not complain when you have so many toys. You can play with them instead.

And we will see the worms and bugs in the sun." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's good. Now let's clean up the mess. And then we can have a snack. How about some cookies and milk?" + +Ben and Lily cheered. They said, "Yes, please! We love cookies and milk!" + +They helped Mom clean up the glass and dust. Then they had a snack. They forgot about the bulb. They were happy. +Lily liked to sing. She sang when she woke up, when she ate, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang loud and happy songs that made her feel good. + +One day, she sang in the park with her mom and dad. They had a picnic and played with a ball. Lily saw a man sitting on a bench.

It will make you feel better. What is your name?" + +The man said, "My name is Sam. What is yours?" + +Lily said, "My name is Lily. I like flowers and songs.

But sometimes they got bored and wanted to go outside and explore. + +One day, they asked their mom if they could go for a walk in the valley. Their mom said yes, but they had to stay close to the house and be careful. She gave them a snack and a bottle of water and told them to have fun. + +Tim and Sam put on their hats and shoes and ran outside. They saw many things in the valley: green grass, yellow flowers, brown cows, and blue birds. They also saw a small hill with a big tree on top. They decided to climb the hill and see what was behind it. + +They walked and walked until they reached the tree. They were very tired and thirsty, so they sat under the shade and ate their snack and drank their water. They looked around and saw a beautiful view of the valley and the house. They also saw something shiny and strange behind the tree. It looked like a big metal box with wheels and windows. + +"Wow, what is that?" Tim asked. + +"I don't know, let's go and see," Sam said. + +They got up and walked towards the metal box. They saw a door on the side and a sign that said "Keep Out". They were curious and wanted to open the door and see what was inside. + +But before they could touch the door, they heard a loud voice behind them. + +"Hey, what are you kids doing here? This is private property!" + +They turned around and saw a man wearing a helmet and a suit. He looked angry and scary. He was holding a big tool in his hand. + +Tim and Sam were scared and sorry. They did not know they were doing something wrong. They said in a small voice: + +"We are sorry, sir. We just wanted to see what this is. We live in the valley and we never saw something like this before." + +The man sighed and looked at them. He saw that they were just innocent and curious. He said in a softer voice: + +"This is a spaceship. I am an astronaut. I came here to study the valley and the stars. But you are not supposed to be here. This is dangerous and secret. You could get hurt or in trouble." + +Tim and Sam were amazed and confused. They did not know what a spaceship or an astronaut was. They asked: + +"What is a spaceship? What is an astronaut? What do you do in the valley and the stars?" + +The man smiled and said: + +"A spaceship is a big machine that can fly in the sky and go to other places. An astronaut is a person who flies in a spaceship and learns about other places. I came here to see how the valley and the stars are different from where I come from." + +Tim and Sam wanted to know more. They asked: + +"Where do you come from? Can we see your spaceship? Can we go with you to the stars?" + +The man shook his head and said: + +"I come from far away. You cannot see my spaceship. It is not for kids. You cannot go with me to the stars. It is too hard and too long. You have to stay here and be safe and happy. Maybe when you grow up, you can be astronauts too. But for now, you have to go back to your house and your mom. She must be worried about you." + +Tim and Sam understood and nodded. They said: + +"OK, sir. Thank you for telling us about your spaceship and your job. We are sorry for bothering you. We will go back to our house and our mom. Goodbye and good luck." + +The man said: + +"Goodbye and thank you for being polite and brave. Have fun and take care." + +Tim and Sam waved and ran back to the hill. They looked at the spaceship one last time and wondered what it was like to fly in the sky and go to the stars. They decided to tell their mom and their friends about their adventure. They also decided to read and learn more about spaceships and astronauts. They thought that maybe one day, they could be astronauts too. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a cat on the fence. The cat was black and white and had a bell on its collar. + +"Look, a cat!" Ben said. "Let's pet it!" + +"No, Ben, we don't know the cat. It might bite us or scratch us," Lily said. "We should leave it alone." + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He ran to the fence and tried to grab the cat. The cat did not like that. It hissed and jumped off the fence. It landed on Ben's face and scratched him with its claws. Ben screamed and cried. He let go of the cat and the cat ran away. + +Lily ran to Ben and saw his face. It was bleeding and had red marks. She felt sorry for Ben, but she also felt angry. + +"Ben, why did you do that? I told you not to touch the cat. You were naughty and now you are hurt," Lily said. + +Ben looked at Lily with his teary eyes. He felt guilty and sad. He knew he did a bad thing. He wished he had listened to Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I just wanted to pet the cat. I didn't know it would hurt me," Ben said. + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to talk to Ben. She went to get their mom. Mom came and saw Ben's face. She was shocked and worried. She took Ben inside and cleaned his wounds. She put a bandage on his face and gave him some medicine. She also scolded him for being foolish and disobedient. + +Ben had to stay in his room for the rest of the day. He did not get to play with Lily or his toys. He did not get to watch his favorite show or have a snack. He was lonely and bored. He wished he had never seen the cat. He learned a hard lesson. He decided to never touch a cat he did not know again. +Sara and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles. But Sara wanted to use all the blue blocks, and Ben wanted to use all the red blocks. They started to complain to each other. + +"Give me the blue blocks, they are mine!" Sara said. + +"No, they are mine, I saw them first!" Ben said. + +They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not share or take turns. They did not listen or say sorry. They were not flexible or kind. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the mess and the angry faces. She was not happy. She said in a loud voice, "Stop it, both of you! You are being very rude and selfish. You need to learn how to play nicely together. If you don't, you will have no blocks at all!" + +Sara and Ben were in shock. They did not expect Mom to be so mad. They did not want to lose their blocks. They tried to say something, but Mom did not listen. She took all the blocks and put them in a big box. She said, "You can have them back when you show me you can share and cooperate. Until then, you can go to your rooms and think about what you did wrong." + +Sara and Ben felt very sad and sorry. They wished they had not complained and fought. They wished they had been flexible and friendly. They wished they had their blocks back. But it was too late. They had to go to their rooms and wait. They had no blocks and no fun. They had a bad ending. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the snow. One day, they make a big igloo with their dad. They use snow and ice and a shovel. They work hard and have fun. + +When they finish, they go inside the igloo. It is cozy and warm. They have a picnic. They eat cheese and crackers and apples. They drink hot chocolate. They share with their dad. + +"Look, dad, we made a house!" Sara says. + +"Yes, you did. It is a very good igloo. You are very clever," dad says. + +"Can we sleep here tonight?" Ben asks. + +Dad laughs. "No, we can't. It is too cold at night. We have to go back to our real house. But we can come back tomorrow and play some more." + +Sara and Ben nod. They are happy. They pack their things and say goodbye to their igloo. They walk back to their house. They see a lively bird on a tree. It sings a song. They wave to the bird. They are ready for a warm bath and a bedtime story. They love their dad and their igloo. +Tom and Mia were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. But Tom also liked to destroy them. He would knock down Mia's towers and houses and cars with his hands or his feet. Mia did not like that. She would cry and tell Tom to stop. + +"Tom, stop! You are bad! You destroy my blocks!" Mia said. + +"No, I am not bad. I am fun! I destroy your blocks because it is fun!" Tom said. + +Mia was very sad and angry. She wanted to make Tom stop. She looked around and saw a glass of water on the table. She had an idea. She grabbed the glass of water and ran to Tom. She poured the water on Tom's head and said, "Take that! You destroy my blocks, I destroy you!" + +Tom was shocked and wet. He felt the water dripping from his hair and his clothes. He did not think it was fun. He started to cry and scream. He ran to his mom and said, "Mom, mom! Mia is bad! She destroy me with water!" + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess of blocks and water. She saw Mia smiling and Tom crying. She was not happy. She said, "What is going on here? Why did you destroy the blocks and the water? Why did you make Tom cry?" + +Mia and Tom looked at each other. They knew they were in trouble. They said, "Sorry, mom. We were playing, but we got mad. We did not mean to destroy." + +Mom sighed. She said, "Playing is good, but destroying is not. You have to be nice and share and respect each other. And you have to clean up this mess. Now, go get some towels and help me." + +Mia and Tom nodded. They felt sorry and ashamed. They went to get some towels and helped mom clean up the living room. They said, "Sorry, mom. We love you. We love each other. We will not destroy again." + +Mom smiled. She said, "I love you too. I am glad you learned your lesson. Now, how about we read a story together?" + +Mia and Tom agreed. They hugged mom and each other. They sat on the couch and listened to mom read a story. The story was about a gloomy day that turned bright with a rainbow. They liked the story. They felt happy and peaceful. They did not want to destroy anymore. They wanted to create and enjoy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and bury things. They buried stones, leaves, toys and even a banana. They made a pattern with the things they buried. They had fun. + +But then, Mom came out and saw the messy garden. She was angry. She shouted at Lily and Tom. + +"What have you done? You have ruined the garden! You have buried things that do not belong in the ground! You have wasted food! You have to clean up this mess right now!" + +Lily and Tom felt sad and scared. They did not mean to make Mom angry. They tried to dig up the things they buried, but they could not find them all. They had forgotten where they buried them. The garden was still messy. + +Mom was still angry. She took away their toys and sent them to their room. She said they could not play outside for a week. Lily and Tom cried. They wished they had not buried things in the garden. They wished they had listened to Mom. They had a bad day. +Lily and Sam liked to play pretend. They imagined they were different animals and made noises and movements. One day, they pretended to be elephants. They used their arms as trunks and stomped around the room. + +"Look at me, I'm a big, heavy elephant!" Lily said. "I can knock down anything with my trunk!" + +"Me too, me too!" Sam said. "I'm a strong, heavy elephant! I can lift anything with my trunk!" + +They had fun pretending to be elephants, until they saw a picture on the wall. It was a picture of a judge, wearing a black robe and a white wig. He looked very serious and stern. + +"Who is that?" Lily asked. + +"That's a judge," Sam said. "He decides if people are good or bad. He can send them to jail or give them prizes." + +"Wow, he sounds very important," Lily said. "Do you think he likes elephants?" + +"I don't know," Sam said. "Maybe he thinks elephants are too noisy and messy. Maybe he would tell us to stop playing." + +Lily and Sam looked at each other. They felt a little scared of the judge. They wondered what he would say if he saw them. + +"Let's pretend to be something else," Lily said. "Something that the judge would like." + +"OK, what should we pretend to be?" Sam asked. + +"Maybe we can pretend to be mice," Lily said. "Mice are quiet and small. They don't bother anyone." + +"OK, let's be mice," Sam said. "But we have to be careful. There might be a cat around." + +They lowered their arms and curled their fingers. They squeaked and scurried around the room. They pretended to be mice, hoping the judge would not notice them. They had fun, but not as much as when they were elephants. They missed their trunks and their stomps. They wished the judge would not judge them. They wished they could be themselves. +Tom was sick. He had a fever and a cough. He did not want to play or eat. He wanted to stay in bed and hug his teddy bear. His mom took him to the doctor. The doctor was nice. He checked Tom's ears, nose and throat. He gave him some medicine and a sticker. + +The doctor said, "Tom, you have a cold. You need to drink a lot of water and rest. The medicine will help you feel better soon. But you have to be careful. Don't share your germs with other people. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. And wash your hands often. OK?" + +Tom nodded. He said, "OK, doctor. Thank you." He liked the sticker. It was a blue car. + +The doctor smiled. He said, "You're welcome, Tom. You're a brave boy. Now, you can go home with your mom. But come back if you don't feel better in a few days. Bye-bye." + +Tom and his mom said, "Bye-bye, doctor." They walked to the door. But Tom was clumsy. He tripped over his shoelace and fell down. He bumped his head on the floor. He cried. It hurt. + +A nurse saw Tom. She ran to him. She said, "Oh, no! Are you OK, Tom? Let me see your head. Don't worry. I'll help you." + +She picked up Tom and carried him to a chair. She put a band-aid on his head. She gave him a hug and a lollipop. She said, "There, there. You're OK, Tom. It's just a little boo-boo. The band-aid will make it better. And the lollipop will make you happy. You're a good boy. You're not clumsy. You just had a bad luck. It happens to everyone. Right?" + +Tom stopped crying. He said, "Right, nurse. Thank you." He liked the hug and the lollipop. It was a red cherry. + +The nurse smiled. She said, "You're welcome, Tom. You're very sweet. Now, you can go home with your mom. But be careful. Tie your shoelaces. And watch your step. OK?" + +Tom nodded. He said, "OK, nurse. Thank you." He tied his shoelaces. He watched his step. He held his mom's hand. He said, "Mom, can we go home now? I want to sleep and cuddle with my teddy bear." + +His mom said, "Yes, Tom. We can go home now. You did a great job today. I'm proud of you. I love you." + +Tom said, "I love you too, mom." He smiled. He felt better. He was ready to leave. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were heroes who saved the world from bad guys. Ben had a cape and a mask. Lily had a hat and a wand. They ran around the slides and swings, making noises and having fun. + +"Look, Ben, there is a big dog!" Lily said, pointing to a furry animal near the fence. "Maybe he is a bad guy. We have to stop him!" + +Ben looked at the dog. He was not sure. The dog looked friendly and happy. He wagged his tail and licked his nose. He did not look like a bad guy. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe he is a good guy. Maybe he is a hero too. He is very impressive. He is big and strong and fast." Ben said. + +Lily frowned. She wanted to have an adventure. She wanted to be a hero. She decided to go closer to the dog. She waved her wand and said, "Stop, bad guy! You are under arrest!" + +The dog barked. He did not like the wand. He did not like the noise. He did not like the girl. He jumped at Lily and knocked her down. He growled and showed his teeth. + +Lily screamed. She was scared. She dropped her wand. She wished Ben would help her. + +Ben heard Lily scream. He saw the dog attack her. He felt sorry for Lily. He decided to be a hero. He ran to the dog and threw his cape over his head. He shouted, "Leave Lily alone, bad guy! You are no match for me!" + +The dog was confused. He could not see. He could not smell. He could not bite. He shook his head and tried to get rid of the cape. He whimpered and ran away. + +Lily got up. She was not hurt. She was happy. She hugged Ben and said, "Thank you, Ben! You are a hero! You saved me from the bad guy!" + +Ben smiled. He was proud. He said, "You are welcome, Lily! You are a hero too! You are brave and smart and fun!" + +They picked up their cape and wand and mask and hat. They decided to play some more. They decided to be friends. They decided to be heroes. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play with their toys. Lila has a doll with a pink dress. Tom has a bear with orange wool. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, Lila and Tom go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and a swing. They want to try them. Lila goes first on the slide. She slides down fast and laughs. Tom waits for his turn. He holds his bear tight. + +But then, a big boy comes and pushes Tom. He takes his bear and runs away. Tom is sad and cries. Lila sees what happens and runs to Tom. She says, "Don't cry, Tom. I will help you get your bear back." + +Lila and Tom chase the big boy. They catch him near a bench. Lila says, "Give Tom his bear back. It is his toy. You are mean." The big boy is scared of Lila. He drops the bear and runs away. + +Tom picks up his bear and hugs it. He says, "Thank you, Lila. You are a good friend." Lila smiles and hugs Tom. She says, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too." They go back to their moms and show them their toys. Their moms are proud of them and hug them. They have a nice day at the park. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red car that they could ride in. They liked to take turns driving the car and pretending to go to different places. + +One day, Ben and Lily had a fight over the car. Ben wanted to drive it first, but Lily said it was her turn. They both pulled and pushed the car, trying to get in. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to share and be nice. They made a lot of noise and broke the car's door. + +Their mom was very angry. She took the car away and said they could not play with it for a week. She said they had to punish for being selfish and rude. She said they had to learn to respect their toys and each other. + +Ben and Lily felt very sad. They said sorry to their mom and to each other. They hugged and said they would not fight again. They realized that the car was more fun when they played together. They also learned that they had to take care of their things and not break them. + +The next week, their mom gave them back the car. They were very happy and thanked their mom. They fixed the car's door with some tape and glue. They decided to make a schedule for taking turns driving the car. They also invited their friends to join them and have more fun. They understood that sharing and being kind was better than fighting and being mean. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big cake on a table. The cake is for a party. It has pink and white icing and many candles. + +"Wow, look at that cake!" Ben says. "It looks yummy!" + +"Let's go and see it!" Anna says. They run to the table. But they do not see the sign that says "Do not touch". + +They touch the cake. They make a hole in the icing. They take a bite. It is sweet and soft. + +"Yum, yum, yum!" they say. + +But then they hear a voice. It is the voice of the lady who made the cake. She is angry. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing? That is my cake! You are ruining it!" she shouts. + +She runs to the table. She tries to catch Anna and Ben. They are scared. They drop the cake. The cake falls to the ground. It breaks into pieces. + +"Oh, no! The cake!" Anna and Ben cry. + +The lady is very sad. She looks at the cake. She worked hard to make it. It was for her son's birthday. Now it is gone. + +"Oh, you poor thing!" she says to the cake. "You were so beautiful and delicious. Now you are a mess." + +She looks at Anna and Ben. They are sorry. They did not mean to hurt the cake. They did not know it was for a party. + +"We are sorry, lady," they say. "We did not see the sign. We just wanted to try the cake. It was very good." + +The lady sighs. She is not angry anymore. She is kind. + +"It's okay, children," she says. "I know you did not mean to be bad. But you should not touch things that are not yours. And you should always ask before you eat something. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, lady," they say. "We understand. We are sorry." + +The lady smiles. She has an idea. + +"Come with me," she says. "I have another cake in my car. It is not as big or as pretty as this one, but it is still tasty. You can have a slice if you want. And you can help me decorate it with some sprinkles and candies. How does that sound?" + +Anna and Ben are happy. They like the lady. They like cake. They follow her to her car. + +They help her with the cake. They make it look nice. They sing happy birthday to her son. They share the cake with him and his friends. They have fun. + +They learn a lesson. They do not touch things that are not theirs. They ask before they eat something. They say sorry when they make a mistake. They are good friends. +Lily and Sam were excited to play in the snow. They put on their hats, coats, boots and gloves and ran outside. They saw a big pile of snow and decided to make a snowman. + +"Let's give him a name," Lily said. + +"OK, how about Bob?" Sam suggested. + +"Bob is a good name," Lily agreed. They rolled a big ball of snow for the body, a smaller one for the head, and two more for the arms. They found a carrot for the nose, two rocks for the eyes, and a stick for the mouth. They put a scarf around the snowman's neck and a hat on his head. + +"Hello, Bob!" they said. "Do you like the snow?" + +Bob did not answer, but he looked happy. + +Lily and Sam played with Bob for a long time. They threw snowballs, made snow angels, and slid down the hill. They had a lot of fun. + +But then the sun came out and it got warmer. The snow started to melt. + +"Oh no, Bob is melting!" Lily cried. + +"Quick, let's move him to a shady spot!" Sam said. + +They tried to push Bob, but he was too heavy and wet. They watched as he got smaller and smaller. + +"Bye, Bob," they said sadly. "We will miss you." + +They went inside and had some hot chocolate. They hoped that it would snow again soon, so they could make another snowman. Maybe they would name him Tom. +Ben and Lily like to go to the library with Mom. They can find many books with pictures and stories. They can also play with toys and puzzles. Mom says they have to be quiet in the library, because other people are reading. + +One day, Ben and Lily see a new book on the shelf. It has a funny picture of a monkey on the cover. Ben says, "Let's read this book. It looks like a joke book." Lily nods and they take the book to a table. They open the book and start to read. + +But the book is not a joke book. It is a dull book. It has many words and no pictures. It talks about things that Ben and Lily do not know, like history and geography. Ben and Lily do not laugh. They feel bored and sleepy. + +They look at each other and make a face. They close the book and put it back on the shelf. They whisper, "That was a bad joke. That was not a fun book." They go to find another book, one that makes them happy and laugh. They hope the monkey on the cover is not sad. They think he should find a better book too. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, dolls, balls, and books. + +One day, they want to play with earth. They find a spot in the garden. They dig with their hands and a spoon. They make a big pile of earth. The earth is brown and soft. + +"Look, Mia, I made a hill!" Tim says. He puts a car on top of the hill. The car rolls down. "Whee!" + +"Wow, Tim, that's fun!" Mia says. She makes a hole in the earth. She puts a doll in the hole. "This is her house!" + +They spend a long time playing with earth. They make more hills and holes. They pretend the earth is a land of adventure. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is Tim's mom. She calls them from the door. "Tim, Mia, it's time to go inside. It's getting dark. Come and wash your hands!" + +Tim and Mia look at each other. They are dirty. They have earth on their clothes, their faces, and their hands. They smile. They had a good day. + +They pick up their toys. They say goodbye to the earth. They run to the door. They go inside. They wash their hands. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big ship on the lake. The ship is red and white. It has a horn and a flag. + +"Can we ride the ship, mom?" Anna asks. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben says. + +"Sure, if you are good and healthy," their moms say. "You have to wear a mask and wash your hands." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They wear their masks and wash their hands. They follow their moms to the ship. They give their tickets to the man. The man smiles and lets them in. + +Anna and Ben find a seat on the ship. They look at the water and the trees. They see ducks and fish. They wave to the other people on the ship. The ship makes a loud sound. It is the horn. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Anna says. + +"I like the ship!" Ben says. + +They enjoy their ride on the ship. They are good and healthy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to race each other on their bikes, and see who was faster. One day, they saw a new path in the park, that went behind a big hedge. They wondered what was behind the hedge, and decided to race there. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily shouted, and they both pedaled as fast as they could. Lily was ahead, but Ben was close behind. They zoomed past the trees and the flowers, and reached the hedge. Lily saw a gap in the hedge, and went through it. Ben followed her. + +But behind the hedge, there was no path. There was a big road, with many cars and trucks. Lily did not see the road, and did not stop. She went right into the road, and a big truck hit her. Ben saw what happened, and screamed. He stopped his bike, and ran to Lily. But it was too late. Lily was not moving, and there was blood everywhere. Ben cried, and cried, and cried. He wished he had never raced to the hedge. He wished he had stayed with Lily in the park. He wished he could see her smile again. But he could not. Lily was gone. +Anna was happy. Today was her birthday. She had a party with her friends. They played games, ate cake and opened gifts. Anna got a big doll from her mom and dad. She loved it. + +But then, something bad happened. Ben, her friend, wanted to play with her doll. He asked Anna, "Can I have your doll? It is so pretty." Anna said, "No, it is mine. You have your own toys." Ben got angry. He grabbed the doll from Anna and ran away. + +Anna was sad. She cried and chased Ben. She wanted her doll back. The other kids stopped playing and watched. The party turned sour. + +Mom and dad saw what happened. They were not happy. They went to Ben and said, "Ben, that is not nice. You have to give the doll back to Anna. It is her birthday gift. You can play with it later, if she lets you." Ben felt sorry. He gave the doll back to Anna and said, "I am sorry, Anna. I was wrong. Can we be friends again?" Anna nodded. She hugged her doll and said, "Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. We can be friends again." + +Mom and dad smiled. They said, "That is good. Now, let us have some more cake and fun. The party is not over yet." The kids cheered. They went back to playing and laughing. The party turned happy again. +Lisa likes to design things. She draws pictures of cars, houses, flowers and animals. She uses many colors and stickers to make them pretty. She wants to be a famous designer when she grows up. + +One day, she goes to the city with her mom. They take a taxi to get there. Lisa sees many different things on the way. She sees tall buildings, big bridges, busy streets and noisy buses. She thinks they are all very interesting. + +"Mom, can I design a taxi?" Lisa asks. + +"Sure, honey. You can design anything you want," her mom says. + +Lisa takes out her paper and crayons. She starts to draw a taxi. She makes it yellow and black, like the one they are in. She adds some details, like a sign, a meter, a radio and a driver. She also draws some passengers inside. She gives them happy faces and funny hats. + +"Look, mom. This is my taxi. Do you like it?" Lisa shows her mom her drawing. + +"I love it, Lisa. It's very creative and colorful. You are a great designer," her mom says. + +Lisa smiles. She is proud of her taxi. She thinks it is the best taxi in the world. She hopes that one day, she can design a real taxi and make it famous. +Lily and Ben were playing in the sand. They liked to make castles and dig holes. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. Lily found a shiny stone and showed it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, a treasure!" she said. + +"Wow, it's pretty!" Ben said. "Let's bury it and make a map. Then we can find it again." + +They dug a deep hole and put the stone inside. They covered it with sand and marked the spot with a stick. They drew a map on a piece of paper. They were very happy. + +But then a bad boy came. He saw the stick and the paper. He was curious and mean. He took the paper and the stick. He dug up the hole and found the stone. He laughed and ran away with it. + +"Hey, that's ours!" Lily shouted. + +"Give it back!" Ben cried. + +They chased the bad boy, but he was too fast. He disappeared behind a fence. Lily and Ben were very sad. They lost their treasure and their map. + +They went back to the sand. They looked for another stone, but they could not find one. They did not want to play anymore. They sat on the ground and hugged each other. + +"Maybe we can find another treasure someday," Lily said. + +"Maybe," Ben said. "But we will never forget this one. It was our first treasure. And our first story." +Anna and Ben were going on a trip with their mom and dad. They were very excited to see new things and have fun. They packed their luggage with clothes, toys and books. They put their luggage in the car and drove to the airport. + +At the airport, they had to wait in a long line to check in their luggage. Anna and Ben were bored and tired. They wanted to play and run around, but their mom and dad told them to stay close and be quiet. Anna and Ben frowned. They did not like waiting. + +"Can we go now?" Anna asked. + +"Soon, honey. We have to give our luggage to the lady and get our tickets," mom said. + +"Why do we have to give our luggage to the lady?" Ben asked. + +"Because the lady will put our luggage on the plane. We can't take it with us. We will get it back when we arrive at our destination," dad explained. + +"What is a destination?" Ben asked. + +"It's the place where we are going. We are going to visit grandma and grandpa. They live in a different city. Do you remember them?" dad asked. + +"Yes, I remember. They are very nice and they have a big house and a dog. I like their dog. He is very intelligent. He can do tricks and fetch the ball," Ben said. + +"I like their dog too. He is very friendly and cuddly. He likes to lick my face and wag his tail," Anna said. + +"See, you have something to look forward to. Grandma and grandpa and their dog are waiting for us. They can't wait to see you and hug you and play with you," mom said. + +Anna and Ben smiled. They forgot about the long line and the boring waiting. They thought about their grandma and grandpa and their dog. They were happy to go on a trip with their mom and dad. They hoped the plane would fly fast and take them to their destination soon. +Tim and his dad went to the farm to see the animals. Tim liked the cows, the pigs, and the chickens, but his favorite was the mule. The mule was old and gray, but he was friendly and gentle. He let Tim pet his nose and ears, and he made funny noises. + +One day, Tim brought a carrot for the mule. He held it in his hand and walked to the fence. The mule saw the carrot and came closer. He opened his mouth and reached for the carrot. But he missed the carrot and bit Tim's finger instead. Tim cried out in pain and dropped the carrot. + +The mule was sorry. He did not mean to hurt Tim. He just wanted the carrot. He nudged Tim's hand with his nose and licked his finger. He hoped Tim would forgive him and still be his friend. + +Tim's dad heard Tim cry and ran to him. He saw the bite mark on his finger and wrapped it with a cloth. He asked Tim if he was okay and if he was angry at the mule. Tim said he was okay and he was not angry. He said the mule was old and did not see well. He said he still liked the mule and wanted to give him the carrot. + +Tim's dad smiled and hugged Tim. He said he was proud of Tim for being brave and kind. He said the mule was lucky to have a friend like Tim. He picked up the carrot and gave it to Tim. Tim held the carrot and gave it to the mule. The mule ate the carrot and wagged his tail. He thanked Tim and his dad with a loud bray. Tim and his dad laughed and petted the mule. They had a good day at the farm. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. They ran up the hill, but Ben tripped and fell. He hurt his knee and it was bleeding. He cried and Anna ran to him. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Anna asked. She saw his knee and felt sorry for him. + +"It hurts, Anna. It hurts a lot." Ben said. He held his knee and sobbed. + +Anna looked around and saw a lady with a dog. The lady had a bag with her. Anna ran to the lady and said, "Please, can you help? My friend is hurt. He needs a bandage." + +The lady was kind and followed Anna to Ben. She took out a bandage from her bag and wrapped it around Ben's knee. She said, "There, there. You'll be fine. It's just a small cut. The bandage will stop the bleeding and make it heal faster." + +Ben looked at the bandage and felt better. He said, "Thank you, lady. You are very nice. And your dog is cute." + +The lady smiled and said, "You're welcome, Ben. And thank you for the compliment. My dog's name is Spot. He likes to wave his tail when he's happy. Do you want to see?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. The lady said, "Spot, wave!" Spot wagged his tail and Anna and Ben laughed. They thought it was incredible. + +The lady said, "I'm glad you're feeling better, Ben. And I'm glad you're a good friend, Anna. You should be careful when you play, but don't be afraid to have fun. Do you want to play with Spot for a while?" + +Anna and Ben said, "Yes, please!" They played with Spot and the lady. They threw a ball, ran and waved. They forgot about the hill and the hurt. They had a lot of fun. +Anna and Ben are going to the festival with Mom and Dad. They are very happy. They want to see the balloons, the clowns, and the animals. They hold hands and walk to the park. + +But the park is very far. Ben is tired. He wants to ride in the stroller. He asks Mom, "Can I sit in the stroller, please?" + +Mom says, "No, Ben. The stroller is for the baby. You are a big boy. You can walk." + +Ben is angry. He does not want to walk. He wants to sit. He pinches Anna's arm. Anna cries, "Ow! Ben, that hurts! Stop it!" + +Mom and Dad hear Anna cry. They turn around and see Ben pinching Anna. They are not happy. They scold Ben, "Ben, that is not nice. You do not pinch your sister. You say sorry to Anna." + +Ben feels bad. He knows he did wrong. He says sorry to Anna. He gives her a hug. Anna forgives him. She says, "It's okay, Ben. I love you." + +Mom and Dad smile. They say, "That's good, Ben and Anna. We love you too. Now let's go to the festival and have fun." + +They walk to the park. They see the balloons, the clowns, and the animals. They are happy. They enjoy the festival. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play on the farm. They see a small cow. The small cow is sad. She has no milk. + +"Why are you sad, small cow?" Lily asks. + +"I am dry. I have no milk for my baby. He is hungry and cries a lot," the small cow says. + +Lily and Ben want to help. They look for water. They find a big bucket. They fill it with water from the tap. They carry it to the small cow. + +"Here, small cow. Drink some water. Maybe it will help you make milk," Ben says. + +The small cow drinks the water. She feels better. She thanks Lily and Ben. + +"Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are very kind. You helped me a lot. Now I have some milk for my baby. He will be happy and quiet," the small cow says. + +Lily and Ben are happy too. They hug the small cow and her baby. They play with them for a while. Then they say goodbye and go home. They are proud of themselves. They helped the small cow and her baby. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big truck with many colors and pictures. It was noisy and made music. + +"Look, Lily, it is an ice cream truck!" Ben said. "Let's go and get some ice cream." + +They ran to the truck and saw a man with a big hat and a smile. He had many kinds of ice cream in a big freezer. He offered them a cone with two scoops. + +"What kind do you want?" he asked. + +"I want chocolate and vanilla," Lily said. + +"I want strawberry and mint," Ben said. + +The man gave them their cones and said, "Enjoy your ice cream, kids. But be careful, it has magic in it." + +Lily and Ben thanked him and licked their ice cream. It was cold and sweet and yummy. They wondered what kind of magic it had. + +They walked back to the park and saw a big fountain. It had water that sprayed and sparkled in the sun. They wanted to see it closer. + +They went to the edge of the fountain and threw a coin in. They made a wish. + +"I wish I could fly," Lily said. + +"I wish I could be invisible," Ben said. + +Suddenly, they felt something strange. Their ice cream cones started to glow and fizz. They looked at each other and gasped. + +Lily had wings on her back and Ben had disappeared. Their ice cream had magic in it. It made their wishes come true. + +They laughed and screamed and had fun. They flew and hid and played. They forgot about the time and the noise and the people. They only felt the magic. +Jill and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. But Jill's favorite animal was the kangaroo. She liked how they jumped and carried their babies in their pouches. + +"Can I touch the kangaroo, Mom?" Jill asked. + +"No, honey, they are too far away. And they might not like it if you touch them. They are wild animals, not pets," Mom said. + +But Jill did not listen. She saw a pink kangaroo near the fence. She thought it was very pretty and wanted to pet it. She ran away from Mom and Dad and climbed over the fence. + +"Jill, come back!" Ben shouted. "You are not allowed to do that!" + +But Jill did not hear him. She reached out her hand to touch the pink kangaroo. But the kangaroo did not like it. It kicked Jill with its strong legs and made a loud noise. + +"Ow!" Jill cried. "That hurt!" + +Mom and Dad ran to Jill and picked her up. They checked if she was hurt. She had a bruise on her arm and a tear in her dress. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry, kangaroo," Jill said. She felt very bad. She regretted touching the kangaroo. + +"It's okay, Jill. We are glad you are not badly hurt. But you have to listen to us and follow the rules. The kangaroo was scared and angry. You should not bother the animals," Mom said. + +"I know, Mom. I won't do it again. I learned my lesson," Jill said. + +She hugged Mom and Dad and said sorry to Ben. They left the zoo and went home. Jill never forgot the pink kangaroo and how it taught her to respect the animals. +Ben and Lily like to play in the farm. They see cows, pigs, chickens and horses. They like to feed them and pet them. One day, they see a big building with a wheel. It is a mill. They want to see what is inside. + +They go to the door and knock. A man opens the door. He is the miller. He is nice and smiles at them. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you want to see the mill?" he asks. + +"Yes, please!" Ben and Lily say. + +The miller lets them in. He shows them how the wheel turns the water and makes the mill work. He shows them how he grinds the wheat and makes flour. He shows them how he bakes bread and cakes. He gives them a slice of bread with honey. It is yummy. + +"Thank you, Mr. Miller!" Ben and Lily say. + +"You're welcome, my dears. Do you want to help me with something?" the miller asks. + +"What can we do?" Ben and Lily ask. + +The miller points to a big cat. It is sleeping on a sack of flour. It is fluffy and gray. + +"This is my cat, Mimi. She likes to catch mice, but she also likes to sleep a lot. Can you rub her belly and make her happy?" the miller asks. + +Ben and Lily nod. They go to the cat and gently rub her belly. The cat purrs and opens her eyes. She looks at them and licks their hands. She is happy. + +"Good job, Ben and Lily! You made Mimi happy. She likes you. Do you like her?" the miller asks. + +"Yes, we like her. She is soft and warm. Can we play with her?" Ben and Lily ask. + +"Of course, you can. But be careful, she is fast. She likes to chase things. Do you want to see?" the miller asks. + +He takes a ball of yarn and throws it. The cat jumps and runs after it. She catches it and plays with it. Ben and Lily laugh and clap. They join the cat and play with the yarn. They have fun. + +The miller watches them and smiles. He is happy too. He likes to have visitors. He likes to share his mill, his bread and his cat. He thinks Ben and Lily are nice and sweet. He hopes they will come back soon. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park, draw pictures, and share snacks. But Lily had a problem. She could not hear very well. She wore a thing in her ear to help her, but sometimes it did not work. + +One day, they were playing hide and seek. Ben counted to ten and then looked for Lily. He saw her behind a tree and ran to catch her. But Lily did not hear him. She was looking at a bird on a branch. Ben tapped her on the shoulder and said, "I found you!" + +Lily turned around and smiled. She said, "You did? I did not hear you. I was watching the bird. It was singing so pretty." + +Ben frowned. He said, "But I was calling your name. I said, 'Lily, Lily, where are you?' Did you not hear me?" + +Lily shook her head. She said, "No, I did not. Sometimes I can not hear very well. I am deaf, you know." + +Ben realized that Lily was different from him. He did not know what deaf meant, but he knew it made her sad. He wanted to make her happy. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. I did not know. But you are still my best friend. I like you very much. Do you want to play something else?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, I do. Thank you, Ben. You are very nice. You are my best friend too. Can you promise me something?" + +Ben said, "Yes, I can. What is it?" + +Lily said, "Can you promise me that you will always be my friend, even if I can not hear you?" + +Ben said, "Yes, I promise. I will always be your friend, no matter what. And I will always try to make you hear me. I will use my hands, or my face, or my body. I will find a way to talk to you." + +Lily hugged him. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are the best. I love you." + +Ben hugged her back. He said, "I love you too, Lily. You are the best." +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. But they did not like to share or clean up. They always left their toys all over the floor and made a big mess. + +One day, their mom said, "Sara and Ben, you need to pick up your toys and put them away. And you need to help me mop the floor. It is very dirty." + +Sara and Ben did not want to do that. They said, "No, mom, we want to play. We do not want to mop. Mopping is hard and boring." + +Mom was not happy. She said, "Sara and Ben, you are very spoiled. You have so many toys, but you do not take care of them. You do not help me with the house. You need to learn to be good and helpful." + +Sara and Ben felt bad. They did not want to make mom sad. They said, "Sorry, mom, we love you. We will pick up our toys and help you mop. Can we discuss how to do it?" + +Mom smiled. She said, "Yes, of course. We can discuss how to do it. You can use this small mop and I will use this big mop. We can start from this corner and work our way to the door. And we can sing a song while we mop. How does that sound?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They said, "That sounds fun, mom. Let's do it." They took their small mop and followed mom. They picked up their toys and put them in the box. They mopped the floor and sang a song. They made the floor shiny and clean. + +Mom was very proud.

OK?" + +Sara and Ben said, "OK, mom. We will." They went to their box and took out their toys. They played nicely and had fun. They were happy. +Lily was sad. She missed her grandma, who lived far away. She wanted to hug her and hear her stories. She did not want to play with her toys or watch TV. + +Her mom saw her crying on the couch. She came over and gave her a big hug. "What's wrong, sweetie?" she asked. + +"I miss grandma," Lily said. "She is so nice and funny. When will we see her again?" + +Mom smiled and kissed her forehead. "I miss her too, honey. But we can call her later and talk to her. And maybe we can visit her soon, when it is safe. Would you like that?" + +Lily nodded. She felt a little better. "Can we make spaghetti for dinner?" she asked. "Grandma always makes spaghetti for me. It is my favorite." + +Mom nodded. "Of course we can. And you know what? I have a surprise for you. I found grandma's original recipe for spaghetti sauce. The one she learned from her mom. It is very special and delicious. Do you want to help me make it?" + +Lily's eyes lit up. She loved to help mom in the kitchen. She jumped off the couch and ran to the sink to wash her hands. "Yes, yes, yes!" she said. "Let's make grandma's spaghetti sauce. It will be fun and yummy." + +Mom laughed and followed her. She was glad to see Lily happy again.

They can make it go fast or slow in the water. They have a pond near their house where they can play with their sail. + +One day, they see a big duck on the pond. The duck is strong and has a long neck. It swims to their sail and tries to bite it. Lily and Tom are scared. They want their sail back. + +They run to their mom and tell her what happened.

One morning, she decided to explore the lake near her house. She walked with her shoulder back, full of confidence. + +When she reached the lake, she spotted an old man. He was sitting by the lake, fishing. + +Jo said to him, "Good morning, could you serve me something?" + +The old man did not answer. Jo waited a while, but still the old man did not say anything. Jo decided to investigate further. When she got close to the man, he grabbed her by the shoulder and threw her into the lake! + +Jo struggled to get out, but the old man kept throwing Jo back in. Jo was scared and started to cry. + +Finally, the old man stopped and Jo was able to swim to safety. She ran back to her house as fast as she could. + +The old man had served Jo a bad experience. Jo had learned her lesson and decided never to explore the lake, again. +Joe was a little boy. He liked to play. He could rush around very fast. One day, he wanted to race his dad. Joe asked, "Let's have a race, Dad." + +Dad said, "You have to go find a zip first." + +So, Joe rushed to the toy room. He saw a zip and he was very happy. Joe picked it up and rushed back to his dad. + +Dad smiled and said, "Ready, set, go!" + +Joe rushed around the garden. He was very tidy and he kept his arms close to him. Eventually, he made it around the garden and stopped back at his dad. + +"I won," said Joe. + +Dad smiled. "You rush very fast, Joe," he said. + +Joe was very proud. He held up the zip. "I was very tidy, Dad," he said. + +Dad said, "That's why you were the winner." + +Joe smiled and hugged his dad.

He was getting ready for his parents' wedding anniversary. He was in a rush because he knew his parents were waiting for him in the car. + +Suddenly, John felt something shaking the floor. It was an earthquake! John ran out of his room to try and get downstairs before it got too strong.

After a while, Peter and his mom had to go home. But, Peter was so delighted by his day of fun that he couldn't stop smiling all the way home. +One day, two horses wanted to know who was the fastest.

He wondered what to do next. + +The first horse saw her companion was feeling dejected and had an idea. He said, "Let's have a game! We can count the number of steps it takes to reach the finish line. The winner will be crowned the fastest horse!" The second horse thought this was a great idea and agreed. + +Slowly but surely, the two horses trotted towards the finish line. As they galloped, the second horse noticed how fragile life could be. He thought about how quickly a race could end if one was not careful. + +Finally, the first horse stepped over the finish line. He had won the race and shouted in delight. The second horse came in second, but still felt happy that he had been able to run the race. He had surrendered to his own fragility, while still achieving something great. +Once upon a time, there lived a dog called Max.

She wanted to pick it up and give it a hug. + +Suddenly, Alice's mommy shouted, "No Alice! Don't pick it up. It's probably not friendly." + +Alice was a bit scared but she asked her mommy why. + +"Crabs can kick if they feel scared," her mommy said. "The best thing is to just watch and admire it from a distance." + +Alice took one step back and watched silently as the crab moved closer and closer to the ocean.

She says to Lily and Anna: "What did you do? This is not how you play with makeup. You have to be careful and respectful. You have to end this game now and help me clean up." + +Lily and Anna feel sorry. They say to mom: "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to look pretty like you. We did not mean to make a mess. We will help you clean up." + +Mom hugs Lily and Anna. She says to them: "I love you, my girls. You are pretty without makeup. Makeup is for grown-ups. You can play with it sometimes, but only with my permission and supervision. Now, let's end this mess and make the bathroom clean again." +Sara was looking for her teddy bear. She loved her teddy bear very much. She always slept with him at night. But today, she could not find him anywhere. She searched in her bedroom, under her bed, in her closet, in her toy box. But he was not there. + +She felt sad and confused. Where did her teddy bear go? Did he run away? Did he get lost? Did someone take him? She wanted to hug him and tell him she missed him. + +She went to her mom and asked, "Mom, have you seen my teddy bear? I can't find him in my bedroom." + +Mom smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sara. I know where your teddy bear is. He is in the laundry room. He was very dirty, so I washed him for you. He is drying now. He will be clean and soft and ready for you soon." + +Sara felt happy and relieved. She ran to the laundry room and saw her teddy bear hanging on a clothesline. He looked shiny and fluffy. She took him down and hugged him tight. She said, "I'm sorry, teddy bear. I thought you were gone. I love you so much. You are my best friend." + +Teddy bear did not say anything, but he felt warm and cozy in Sara's arms. He loved her too. He was glad to be back in her bedroom. He was ready for a good night's sleep. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and has a long tail. The dog looks charming.

The policeman saved them. + +The policeman takes the dog to his car. He puts the dog in the back. He drives away. + +"Where is he taking the dog?" Tom asks. + +"He is taking the dog to jail," Sam says. + +"Jail? What is jail?" Tom asks. + +"Jail is a place where bad dogs go," Sam says. + +"Oh. I hope the dog learns to be good," Tom says. + +"Me too," Sam says. + +Tom and Sam hug. They are friends. They go back to play in the park. They are careful. They do not pet strange dogs. +Anna liked to help her mom in the garden. She liked to dig, water, and pull out the weeds. She also liked to count the things that grew in the garden. She counted the carrots, the lettuce, the tomatoes, and the radishes. + +One day, she saw a big, red radish poking out of the dirt. She wanted to pick it and eat it. She asked her mom if she could. Her mom said yes, but first she had to count how many radishes there were. Anna agreed. She started to count. + +She counted one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. She was very proud of herself. She told her mom she counted ten radishes. Her mom smiled and said she did a good job. She said she could pick the big, red radish and wash it. + +Anna picked the radish and ran to the hose. She washed the radish and bit into it. It was crunchy and spicy. She liked it a lot. She shared some with her mom. They sat on the grass and ate the radish. They felt happy and peaceful. They looked at the garden and saw the other things they could count. They counted them together. They had fun. +Tom and Lily are playing with cardboard boxes in the yard. They make a big fort with the boxes and pretend to be knights and princesses. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +But then, Ben comes over. Ben is a mean boy who lives next door. He does not like to play with Tom and Lily. He likes to break their toys and make them cry. He sees their cardboard fort and gets angry. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my boxes?" he shouts. "Give them to me, now!" + +Tom and Lily are scared of Ben. They say, "No, Ben, these are our boxes. We found them in the trash. You can't have them. Go away!" + +Ben does not listen. He runs to the fort and starts to throw the boxes around. He rips them and kicks them and stomps on them. He ruins the fort and makes a big mess. + +Tom and Lily are very sad and angry. They try to stop Ben, but he is bigger and stronger. He pushes them and hits them and calls them names. He hurts them and makes them bleed. + +Tom and Lily cry and scream for help. But no one hears them. Ben keeps throwing the boxes and hurting them. He does not stop. He does not care. He is very bad. +Sara and her mom moved to a new house. They had many boxes to unpack. Sara wanted to help her mom. She opened a box and saw her toys. She smiled and took out her doll, her ball, and her book. + +She put her doll on the couch and played with her ball. She bounced it on the floor and threw it in the air. She was having fun. But then, she tripped on a box and fell down. She hurt her knee. It was red and sore. She cried and ran to her mom. + +Her mom hugged her and looked at her knee. She said, "Don't worry, Sara. It's not a big boo-boo. I have a band-aid for you." She took out a band-aid from her purse and put it on Sara's knee. She kissed it and said, "There, all better. Do you want to read your book with me?" + +Sara nodded and wiped her tears. She picked up her book and sat on her mom's lap. Her mom opened the book and read to her. The book had pictures of animals and their sounds. Sara liked the book. She pointed at the animals and made their sounds. She felt her band-aid on her knee. It was smooth and sticky. She smiled and hugged her mom. She was happy in her new house. +Lily liked to sign with her hands. She learned sign from her mom and dad, who were deaf. Sign was like talking, but with fingers and faces. Lily could sign many things, like her name, her age, and her favorite color. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide and ran to it. She climbed up the steps and slid down. It was fun! She did it again and again. Then she saw a furry dog. The dog was brown and white, and had a long tail. Lily loved dogs. She wanted to pet the dog. + +She ran to the dog and said, "Hi, doggy!" But the dog did not hear her. The dog was with a stranger, a man who had a hat and a beard. The man was also deaf, and he was signing with the dog. Lily was curious. She watched the man and the dog sign. They looked happy. + +Lily walked closer to the man and the dog. She smiled and waved. The man saw her and smiled back. He signed, "Hello, little girl. What is your name?" Lily signed, "My name is Lily. I like your dog. Can I pet him?" The man nodded and signed, "Yes, you can. His name is Max. He is a good dog. He knows sign, too." Lily was amazed. She petted Max and signed, "Hi, Max. You are a furry and nice dog." Max licked her face and wagged his tail. + +Lily, the man, and Max became friends. They signed and played together. Lily's mom came and saw them. She was happy that Lily made new friends. She signed, "Lily, who are these?" Lily signed, "This is Max, the furry dog, and this is his dad. They know sign, like us. They are not strangers. They are nice." Lily's mom smiled and signed, "That is wonderful, Lily. I am glad you met them. Can we say goodbye and thank them?" Lily nodded and signed, "Yes, mom. Thank you, Max and dad, for playing with me. You are fun. Bye-bye!" Max and his dad signed, "You are welcome, Lily. You are sweet. Bye-bye!" They hugged and waved. Lily and her mom left the park, happy and proud. +Lily was a little girl who liked to move a lot. She liked to run, jump, dance and play. She did not like to sit still and be quiet. She thought that was boring. + +One day, Lily had to go to a big house with her mom and dad. The big house was where her grandma and grandpa lived. Lily loved her grandma and grandpa, but she did not like the big house. The big house had many rules. No running, no jumping, no dancing, no playing. Only sitting still and being quiet. + +Lily was very sad. She wanted to move and have fun. She did not want to be boring. She looked around the big house and saw many things. She saw books, pictures, vases, clocks and dolls. She wanted to touch them and play with them, but she knew she could not. She had to be good. + +She saw a door that was closed. She wondered what was behind the door. She walked to the door and opened it. She saw a room that was dark and dusty. She saw a big bed, a big closet, a big desk and a big chair. She saw a window that was closed. She wanted to open the window and see what was outside, but she knew she could not. She had to be good. + +She heard a voice that was soft and sweet. It was her grandma. She came into the room and saw Lily. She smiled and said, "Hello, my dear. What are you doing here?" + +Lily looked at her grandma and said, "I'm sorry, grandma. I was bored. I wanted to move and see something new. I don't like the big house. It has no life." + +Her grandma hugged her and said, "I understand, my dear. I was like you when I was a little girl. I liked to move and see new things. I don't like the big house either. It has no life. But I have a secret for you. Do you want to know it?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please." + +Her grandma whispered, "Behind the closet, there is a door. Behind the door, there is a garden. The garden has life. It has flowers, trees, birds, butterflies and bees. It has colors, sounds, smells and tastes. It has fun. Do you want to go to the garden with me?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, please." + +Her grandma took her hand and said, "Come on, then. Let's go to the garden. But don't tell anyone. It's our secret." + +Lily and her grandma moved the closet and opened the door. They went to the garden and had a wonderful time. They moved and saw new things. They were not bored. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go in the tunnel!" Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful!" Lily said. + +They crawled into the hole. It was dark and cold. They could hear strange noises. They felt scared. + +"Tom, I don't like this tunnel. Can we go back?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, let's go back. I don't like it either." Tom agreed. + +They turned around and tried to find the way out. But they could not see well. They stumbled on the rocks and dirt. They hurt their knees and hands. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. + +"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Lily cried. + +They heard a loud roar. It came from the other end of the tunnel. It sounded like a big animal. + +"Run, run, run!" Tom shouted. + +"Help, help, help!" Lily shouted. + +They ran as fast as they could. They saw a light at the end of the tunnel. It was the hole they came in from. They crawled out of the tunnel. They saw a tall man standing by the hill. He had a big camera and a hat. + +"Hello, kids. Are you OK?" the man asked. + +He was a reporter. He was looking for the lion that escaped from the zoo. He heard the roar too. He followed the sound and found the tunnel. + +"Who are you?" Tom asked. + +"I'm a reporter. I'm here to take a picture of the lion. Did you see it?" the man asked. + +"No, we didn't see it. We only heard it. It was scary!" Lily said. + +"Well, you are very brave to go in the tunnel. But you should not do that again. It is dangerous. The lion could have hurt you." the man said. + +He took them to their parents. They were waiting for them by the swings. They were worried. + +"Mom, Dad, we went in the tunnel and we heard a lion!" Tom said. + +"We stumbled and we hurt ourselves!" Lily said. + +They showed their parents their knees and hands. They had scratches and bruises. + +"Oh, you poor things! We are so glad you are safe!" their parents said. + +They hugged them and kissed them. They gave them band-aids and ice cream. They told them not to go in the tunnel again. + +The reporter took a picture of them. He wrote a story about their adventure. He called it "The Brave Kids and the Lion in the Tunnel". He put it in the newspaper. Tom and Lily saw their picture. They felt proud. But they also felt sorry for the lion. They hoped it would find a good home. They decided to go to the zoo and visit it. They wanted to be its friends. +Sara liked to play with her dolls in the bath. She gave them names and made them talk to each other. She also used shampoo to wash their hair and make bubbles. She had a lot of fun with her dolls. + +One day, her mom came to the bathroom and said, "Sara, it's time to finish your bath. You have to get ready for bed." Sara did not want to stop playing. She said, "But mom, I'm not done yet. I have to wash Lily's hair. She has a lot of dirt in it." + +Her mom looked at Lily, the doll with long blonde hair. She saw that Sara had used a lot of shampoo on her. She said, "Sara, you used too much shampoo. Lily's hair is very wet and sticky. You have to rinse it well or it will get dry and tangled." + +Sara felt sorry for Lily. She did not want to hurt her doll. She said, "Okay, mom. I will rinse Lily's hair. Can you help me?" Her mom nodded and smiled. She was proud of Sara for being thoughtful and caring. + +They worked together to rinse Lily's hair with clean water. They squeezed out the extra shampoo and bubbles. They wrapped Lily in a towel and dried her hair gently. Sara hugged Lily and said, "There, Lily. You are clean and pretty now. I love you." + +Her mom hugged Sara and said, "I love you too, Sara. You are a good girl. Now, let's finish your bath and put on your pajamas. Then, we can read a story before bed." Sara agreed and followed her mom. She brought Lily with her. She was happy and sleepy. She had a good day. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big parade in the street. They hear loud music and see many colors. They want to join the parade. + +"Mom, can we march with them?" Lily asks. + +"Sorry, honey, we can't. The parade is for special people. They are celebrating something important," Mom says. + +"What are they celebrating?" Ben asks. + +"They are celebrating the end of a war. A war is when people fight and hurt each other. It is very sad and bad. But now the war is over and they are happy and peaceful," Dad says. + +Lily and Ben do not understand what a war is. They only know that fighting and hurting are wrong. They are glad that the people in the parade are happy and peaceful. They clap and cheer for them. + +The parade passes by a pond. Lily and Ben see some ducks swimming in the water. They love ducks. They want to feed them. + +"Mom, can we feed the ducks?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, we have some bread for them. But be careful, don't go too close to the water," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben take some bread from Mom and break it into small pieces. They throw the pieces to the ducks. The ducks come closer and eat the bread. They quack and flap their wings. Lily and Ben laugh and watch them. + +The ducks are amazing. They have different colors and shapes. Some are white, some are brown, some are black. Some have long necks, some have short necks, some have curly tails. Lily and Ben like them all. + +"Thank you for the bread, kids. You are very kind and nice," one of the ducks says. + +Lily and Ben are surprised. They did not know that ducks can talk. + +"Wow, you can talk?" Lily says. + +"Yes, we can. But only to special kids like you. You have good hearts and good minds. You are not like the people who fight and hurt each other. You are like the people who celebrate and love each other," the duck says. + +Lily and Ben feel happy and proud. They hug each other and hug the duck. + +"Thank you, duck. You are amazing. We love you," Ben says. + +"We love you too, kids. And we love the people in the parade. They are amazing too. They stopped the war and made the world a better place. We hope you grow up to be like them," the duck says. + +Lily and Ben smile and nod. They hope so too. They wave goodbye to the duck and go back to their mom and dad. They tell them what the duck said. Mom and dad are amazed too. They hug Lily and Ben and tell them they are amazing too. They all go home happy and peaceful. +Tom and Lily are hungry. They want to eat something. They see a big sandwich on the table. It has cheese and ham and bread. + +"Can we have the sandwich, Mom?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, you can, but you need to share it," Mom says. "And be careful, it is hot." + +Tom and Lily nod. They take the sandwich and go to the couch. They break the sandwich in two pieces. Tom gets a big piece and Lily gets a small piece. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily says. "You have more than me!" + +Tom smiles. He likes cheese and ham and bread. He takes a big bite of his piece. He chews fast. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cries. He feels something hot in his mouth. He spits out the bite. He sees a red spot on his tongue. + +"What's wrong, Tom?" Lily asks. + +"I burned my tongue!" Tom says. "The sandwich is too hot!" + +Lily feels sorry for Tom. She gives him her piece. She says, "Here, you can have mine. It is not so hot. I waited for it to cool down. You need to eat slow, Tom." + +Tom takes Lily's piece. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are very nice. I'm sorry I took the big piece. You can have some of mine." + +Lily smiles. She takes a bite of Tom's piece. She chews slow. She says, "You're welcome, Tom. You are very nice, too. The sandwich is very good. We can share it." + +Tom and Lily eat the sandwich together. They are happy. They are not hungry anymore. They hug each other. Mom sees them and smiles. She is proud of them. She says, "You are very good children. I love you." +Tom was a big boy who liked to play with his trucks. He had many trucks of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them go fast and loud on the floor. He also liked to make them crash and bump into each other. + +One day, he was playing with his trucks in the living room, while his mom was talking on the phone. He did not hear his mom say, "Shh, Tom, I need to talk." He kept playing with his trucks, making them go faster and louder. He made them jump over the couch and the table. He made them fly in the air and land on the floor. + +Then, he saw a big red truck on the shelf. He wanted to play with it too. He climbed on the chair and reached for the truck. But the truck was too high and too heavy. He pulled it hard, but it did not move. He pulled it harder, but it still did not move. He pulled it even harder, but then the truck fell off the shelf. It hit the chair, the phone, and his mom's head. It made a big noise and a big mess. + +Tom's mom dropped the phone and said, "Ow, Tom, what did you do?" She was angry and hurt. She looked at the truck, the chair, the phone, and the floor. She looked at Tom, who was still on the chair. He was scared and sorry. He did not mean to make his mom angry and hurt. He did not mean to make a big noise and a big mess. He felt embarrass. + +He said, "I'm sorry, Mom, I just wanted to play with the truck." He got off the chair and hugged his mom. He said, "Are you okay, Mom? Does your head hurt?" He tried to make his mom feel better. + +His mom hugged him back and said, "It's okay, Tom, I know you did not mean it. But you have to be careful with your trucks. They are not toys for the shelf. They are toys for the floor. And you have to listen to me when I say, 'Shh, Tom, I need to talk.' You have to be quiet and polite when I'm on the phone. Do you understand, Tom?" + +Tom nodded and said, "I understand, Mom. I'm sorry, Mom. I love you, Mom." He said, "Can I help you clean up the mess, Mom?" He said, "Can I still play with my trucks, Mom?" + +His mom smiled and said, "Yes, Tom, you can help me clean up the mess. And yes, Tom, you can still play with your trucks. But only on the floor, and only when I'm not on the phone. And be gentle with them. They are not rough toys. They are nice toys. Do you understand, Tom?" + +Tom nodded and said, "I understand, Mom. I'm sorry, Mom. I love you, Mom." He said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best mom." He said, "Can I give you a kiss, Mom?" + +His mom laughed and said, "Yes, Tom, you can give me a kiss. And I'll give you one too. You are the best son." She said, "Now, let's clean up this mess, and then we can play together. How does that sound, Tom?" + +Tom smiled and said, "That sounds great, Mom. I'm happy, Mom. You are happy, Mom." He said, "I like to play with you, Mom. You are fun, Mom." He said, "You are my favorite way to play, Mom." +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big sack on a bench. It was fat and heavy. + +"Let's see what's inside!" Tom said. He ran to the sack and opened it. He saw many toys and books and candies. + +"Wow! Look at all these things!" Lily said. She followed Tom and looked at the sack. She wanted to play with the toys and read the books and eat the candies. + +"Let's choose one thing each and share!" Tom said. He was a good brother. He picked up a red car and gave it to Lily. "Do you like this?" + +"Yes, thank you!" Lily said. She was a good sister. She picked up a blue doll and gave it to Tom. "Do you like this?" + +"Yes, thank you!" Tom said. They hugged and smiled. + +But then, a man came to the bench. He was angry and scary. He had a big hat and a long coat. He saw Tom and Lily with the sack. + +"Hey, you! That's my sack! Give it back to me!" he shouted. He grabbed the sack and pulled it away from Tom and Lily. He threw the car and the doll on the ground. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Tom said. He was sad and brave. He tried to get the sack back. + +"Leave us alone!" Lily said. She was sad and brave too. She tried to help Tom. + +But the man was stronger and meaner. He pushed Tom and Lily away. He ran away with the sack. + +Tom and Lily cried. They lost their toys and their books and their candies. They felt bad. + +But then, a lady came to the park. She was kind and pretty. She had a big smile and a small dog. She saw Tom and Lily crying. + +"What's wrong, children?" she asked. She bent down and hugged them. + +"A man took our sack!" Tom said. + +"He was mean and scary!" Lily said. + +"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. That was very wrong of him. Where are your parents?" the lady asked. + +"They are at home. We came to play by ourselves." Tom said. + +"That's not very safe. You should always stay with your parents or someone you trust. Come, I'll take you home and give you a treat. Do you like cookies?" the lady said. + +"Yes, we do!" Tom and Lily said. They felt better. + +They followed the lady and her dog. They told her their names and where they lived. The lady was nice and funny. She made them laugh and feel happy. + +They reached their home and saw their parents. They were worried and happy. + +"Where have you been? We were looking for you!" their parents said. + +"We're sorry, Mommy and Daddy. We went to the park and found a sack. But a man took it from us. He was mean and scary. But then a lady helped us. She was kind and pretty. She brought us home and gave us cookies. She was nice and funny." Tom and Lily said. + +They hugged their parents and thanked the lady. The lady waved and left with her dog. + +Tom and Lily learned a lesson. They should not go to the park by themselves. They should not take things that are not theirs. They should be careful of strangers. They should be grateful for helpers. + +They also learned something else. They had each other. They were twins. They were friends. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to find bugs and flowers and rocks. They saw a big jar on the grass. It was hidden behind a bush. They ran to the jar and looked inside. + +"Wow!" Anna said. "There are fireflies in the jar. They glow like stars." + +Ben nodded. He liked fireflies. They were pretty and bright. He wanted to touch them. He opened the jar and reached his hand inside. + +"Ben, no!" Anna said. "They need air. They will die in the jar." + +But Ben did not listen. He grabbed a firefly and held it in his palm. It stopped glowing. It was still and quiet. Ben felt sad. He did not mean to hurt the firefly. + +He put it back in the jar and closed the lid. He said sorry to the firefly. He hoped it would glow again. He gave the jar to Anna and said he was sorry to her too. + +Anna hugged Ben. She was not mad at him. She knew he was curious. She said they should let the fireflies go. They opened the jar and watched the fireflies fly away. Some of them glowed again. They looked like tiny lanterns in the sky. + +Anna and Ben smiled. They were happy to see the fireflies free. They were tired from playing. They decided to take a nap on the grass. They lay down and closed their eyes. They dreamed of fireflies and stars. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with shapes. They had a big box of shapes that their wealthy dad bought for them. They had circles, squares, triangles, and more. They liked to make pictures and patterns with the shapes on the floor. + +One day, they found a new shape in the box. It was a triangle, but it was different from the other triangles. It was shiny and bright, and it seemed to glow. Anna and Ben were curious and excited. They wanted to play with the glowing triangle. + +"Let me have it!" Anna said, reaching for the triangle. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said, pulling it away. + +They started to fight over the triangle. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The triangle was not happy. It did not like to be fought over. It wanted to be shared and loved. + +The triangle started to glow brighter and brighter. It made a loud noise. Anna and Ben stopped fighting and looked at the triangle. They were scared. The triangle was too bright and too loud. It hurt their eyes and ears. + +"Make it stop!" Anna cried. + +"I don't know how!" Ben said. + +They dropped the triangle and ran away. The triangle was sad. It did not want to scare them. It wanted to be their friend. It stopped glowing and stopped making noise. It waited for them to come back. But they did not come back. They left the triangle alone in the box. The triangle wished it was a normal triangle. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their pet bird, Coco. Coco was a yellow and green bird who lived in a birdcage in their room. Sometimes, Ben and Lily opened the cage and let Coco fly around. They gave him seeds and water and talked to him. + +One day, Ben and Lily wanted to play with Coco, but they could not find him. They looked in the cage, under the bed, behind the curtains, but Coco was not there. They saw some feathers on the floor and a hole in the window screen. They felt very sad and worried. + +"Where is Coco?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe he flew away," Lily said. + +"But why? We love him and take care of him," Ben said. + +They ran to their mom and told her what happened. Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. Maybe Coco just wanted to see the sky and the trees. He knows where his home is. He will come back soon." + +Mom helped them fix the window screen and clean the messy room. She put some seeds and water outside the window, in case Coco was hungry or thirsty. She told them to wait and hope. + +Ben and Lily waited and hoped. They missed Coco and wished he would come back. They looked at the sky and listened for his song. + +After a while, they heard a familiar chirp. They ran to the window and saw Coco sitting on the sill. He looked happy and healthy. He flew into the room and landed on Ben's shoulder. He nuzzled his cheek and sang. + +"Coco!" Ben and Lily shouted. They hugged him and kissed him. They put him back in his cage and gave him more seeds and water. They thanked Mom for her help and her words. + +They were very happy and relieved. They learned to be more careful with their pet bird. They knew Coco loved them and his birdcage, but he also liked to explore. They decided to let him fly sometimes, but only when they were with him and the window was closed. They played with Coco and talked to him every day. Coco was their best friend. +Sam and Tom are friends. They like to play with boats. They have a big boat and a small boat. The big boat is red and the small boat is blue. Sam likes the big boat and Tom likes the small boat. + +One day, they go to the lake with their boats. They put their boats in the water and make them sail. The wind is strong and the water is choppy. The big boat is reliable. It does not tip over or sink. The small boat is not reliable. It tips over and sinks. Tom is sad and angry. + +"Sam, give me your boat!" Tom says. "My boat is gone and I want to play!" + +"No, Tom, this is my boat!" Sam says. "You have to find your boat or get a new one!" + +"But I like your boat! It is big and red and reliable!" Tom says. "My boat is small and blue and not reliable! It is not fair!" + +Sam and Tom start to fight. They pull and push and shout. They do not share or help. They are not friends anymore. + +A man sees them fighting. He is a sailor. He has a big hat and a big beard. He has a bottle of port. He likes to drink port. He is kind and wise. + +"Hey, boys, what is the matter?" the sailor says. "Why are you fighting over a boat?" + +Sam and Tom tell him their story. The sailor listens and nods. + +"I see, I see," the sailor says. "You both like boats, but you have different boats. One boat is reliable and one boat is not. That is a problem, but not a big problem. You can solve it if you try." + +"How?" Sam and Tom ask. + +"Well, you can share the big boat and take turns. You can help each other and have fun. You can be friends again," the sailor says. + +"Or, you can look for the small boat and fix it. You can make it reliable and strong. You can be proud of your boat and happy. You can be friends again," the sailor says. + +"Or, you can get a new boat. You can find a boat that you both like and that is reliable. You can play with it together and enjoy it. You can be friends again," the sailor says. + +The sailor smiles and gives them a sip of port. He says, "Port is a good drink. It makes you warm and calm. It helps you think and talk. It is a reliable drink. But you have to drink it with care and moderation. Too much port can make you sick and silly. It can make you fight and lose friends. Do you understand?" + +Sam and Tom nod. They say, "Yes, we understand. Thank you, sailor. You are kind and wise. You helped us a lot." + +The sailor says, "You are welcome, boys. Now, go and play with your boats. And remember, be reliable, be fair, and be friends." +Anna and Ben like to play outside when it is sunny. They run and jump and laugh in the grass. They have a ball and a kite and a bike. They are happy. + +But one day, the sky turns dark and loud. Anna and Ben hear a big boom. They see a bright flash. It is lightning. They are scared. + +Anna and Ben run to their house. They hold hands and look for their mom. They find her in the kitchen. She hugs them and says, "Don't worry, it is just a storm. It will go away soon. You are safe here." + +Anna and Ben sit with their mom on the couch. They watch the rain and the lightning from the window. They listen to the thunder and the wind. They are calm. + +Mom says, "Lightning is very powerful. It can make fire and break things. We have to be careful when it happens. We have to stay inside and away from metal and water. But lightning is also very beautiful. It can make colors and shapes in the sky. It can show us how amazing nature is." + +Anna and Ben nod and smile. They learn something new. They like to watch the lightning with their mom. They are curious. +Tommy loves his dog Spot. Spot is a big dog with long fur and a red collar. Tommy likes to play with Spot in the yard and give him treats. But sometimes Spot is naughty and spoils things. + +One day, Tommy's mom bought a new rug for the living room. It was soft and colorful and had flowers on it. Tommy's mom said, "This rug is very pretty. We have to take good care of it and keep it clean. Do you understand, Tommy?" + +Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. Can I play with Spot now?" + +Tommy's mom said, "Yes, you can. But make sure Spot stays outside. He might get dirt or mud on the rug. And don't let him chew on anything. He might ruin it." + +Tommy said, "OK, mom. I will watch Spot and keep him out of trouble." + +Tommy and Spot went outside and had fun. They ran and jumped and chased a ball. Spot was happy and wagged his tail. But then Spot saw something shiny on the porch. It was Tommy's mom's necklace. She had left it on a chair when she went to the kitchen. + +Spot was curious and ran to the porch. He sniffed the necklace and liked how it sparkled. He grabbed it with his teeth and pulled. The necklace broke and the beads fell on the floor. Spot thought they were toys and started to play with them. He tossed them in the air and caught them. He rolled them with his paws and licked them. He did not hear Tommy calling him. + +Tommy saw what Spot had done and was shocked. He ran to the porch and said, "Spot, no! Bad dog! You spoiled mom's necklace! She will be very mad at you!" + +Spot looked at Tommy and tilted his head. He did not understand why Tommy was angry. He thought he was having fun. He wagged his tail and tried to lick Tommy's face. + +Tommy pushed Spot away and said, "No, Spot. You are not a good dog. You have to say sorry to mom. And you have to wear this." Tommy took off Spot's red collar and put on a new one. It was pink and had frills and bows on it. It was very girly and silly. + +Spot did not like the new collar. He felt it was too tight and too itchy. He tried to shake it off and scratch it. He whined and barked. + +Tommy said, "This is your punishment, Spot. You have to wear this collar until mom forgives you. Maybe then you will learn not to spoil things." + +Spot looked at Tommy with sad eyes. He wished he could have his old collar back. He wished he could make Tommy happy again. He wished he had not spoiled mom's necklace. He learned his lesson. He was sorry. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they see a big red truck in the toy store. They want to buy it, but it is very expensive. + +"Mom, can we buy the truck?" Ben asks. + +"Sorry, boys, we don't have enough money for that. Maybe another day," Mom says. + +Ben and Sam are sad. They walk away from the toy store. They see a man with a suit and a hat. He has a lot of money in his hand. He is rich. + +"Look, Sam, he has so much money. Maybe he can buy the truck for us," Ben says. + +He runs to the man and tugs his coat. "Excuse me, sir, can you buy the truck for us? We really like it, but we don't have enough money," Ben says. + +The man looks at Ben and Sam. He smiles. He likes children. He remembers when he was a child and he wanted a truck too. + +"Sure, why not? Come with me, boys. Let's buy the truck," he says. + +He takes Ben and Sam to the toy store. He pays for the truck and gives it to them. Ben and Sam are very happy. They hug the man and thank him. + +"Wow, thank you, sir. You are very kind. Can we be your friends?" Sam asks. + +"Of course, you can. I'm Jack. What are your names?" the man asks. + +"I'm Ben and this is Sam. We are brothers," Ben says. + +"Nice to meet you, Ben and Sam. You are very polite. Do you want to play with the truck with me?" Jack asks. + +"Yes, please. Let's go to the park. It has a lot of space and dirt. We can make roads and bridges," Sam says. + +"OK, let's go. But we have to be quick. I have to go to work soon," Jack says. + +They go to the park and play with the truck. They have a lot of fun. They make new friends. Ben and Sam are very happy. They have a new truck and a new friend. Jack is happy too. He feels like a child again. He has a new truck and new friends. +Lily likes to help her dad in the garden.

He wanted to eat more jelly after he finished his sandwich. + +"Mom, can I have more jelly, please?" Ben asked. + +"Wait a minute, Ben. You have to finish your juice first. And Mia is still eating her sandwich. We have to share the jelly," Mom said. + +Ben felt impatient. He did not want to wait. He wanted more jelly now. He looked at Mia. She was eating her sandwich slowly. She was not in a hurry. + +"Mia, hurry up! I want more jelly!" Ben said. + +Mia looked at Ben. She was annoyed. She did not like it when Ben was bossy. + +"Ben, stop it! You are not the boss of me. I can eat my sandwich as slow as I want. And you have to wait your turn. Mom said so," Mia said. + +Mom heard them arguing. She was not happy. She wanted them to get along. + +"Ben, Mia, stop fighting. You are both being rude. You have to be polite and patient. Jelly is not the most important thing in the world. Do you know what is more important?" Mom asked. + +Ben and Mia looked at Mom. They did not know what she was going to say. + +"What, Mom?" they asked. + +Mom smiled. She hugged them both. + +"Love is more important. Love is what makes us a family. Love is what makes us happy. Love is what reminds us to be kind and share and say sorry. Do you love each other?" Mom asked. + +Ben and Mia looked at each other. They felt sorry for being mean. They nodded. + +"Yes, Mom. We love each other," they said. + +Mom kissed them both. + +"Good. I love you too. Now, how about we finish our lunch and then we can have some more jelly together?" Mom said. + +Ben and Mia smiled.

They were happy. +Sam and Lily were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, Sam saw a shiny red car in Lily's room. He wanted to play with it very much. + +"Can I borrow your car, Lily?" he asked. + +"Okay, but only for a little while. It is my favorite car," Lily said. + +Sam took the car and ran outside. He drove it on the grass, on the dirt, and on the rocks. He had a lot of fun. He forgot about Lily and the time. + +Lily waited and waited for Sam to come back. She was sad and angry. She went outside to look for him. She saw him near the road, where there were many big and fast cars. It was very dangerous. + +"Sam, come back! You can't play there! It is not safe!" she shouted. + +Sam heard Lily and looked up. He saw a big car coming towards him. He was scared. He dropped the car and ran back to Lily. The big car hit the car and broke it. + +Lily hugged Sam and was glad he was okay. But she was also very sad about her car. It was her favorite car and now it was gone. + +Sam saw the result of his mistake. He felt sorry and ashamed. He said to Lily, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong to borrow your car and play there. I should have listened to you and come back sooner. I will buy you a new car with my money." + +Lily was still sad, but she forgave Sam. She said, "Thank you, Sam. I'm sorry too. I should have shared my car with you more. You are my friend and I love you." + +They hugged and went back to Lily's room. They played with other toys and learned to be more careful and kind. +Tom and Lily were twins who loved to bounce. They bounced on their beds, on the sofa, on the trampoline, and even on their daddy's tummy. They bounced all day long, until their mommy said it was time for bed. + +"But we are not sleepy, mommy!" they said. "We want to bounce some more!" + +Mommy smiled and said, "How about a cup of cocoa before bed? That will make you warm and cozy." + +Tom and Lily liked cocoa. They followed mommy to the kitchen, where she poured them some hot cocoa in their favorite mugs. They sipped their cocoa and felt happy. + +But then, they heard a loud noise outside. It sounded like a big dog barking and growling. Tom and Lily felt scared. They ran to the window and saw a big, black dog in their yard. The dog looked angry and troubled. He was trying to get into their house. + +"Mommy, mommy, there is a bad dog outside!" they cried. "He wants to bite us!" + +Mommy came to the window and saw the dog. She was not afraid. She knew the dog. His name was Rex, and he belonged to their neighbor, Mr. Brown. Rex was not a bad dog, but he was lonely and bored. He often escaped from his yard and wandered around, looking for someone to play with. + +Mommy opened the door and called out, "Rex, Rex, come here, boy!" + +Rex heard mommy's voice and stopped barking. He wagged his tail and ran to the door. He licked mommy's hand and looked at her with his big, brown eyes. + +"Hello, Rex," mommy said. "You are a good dog, but you are making too much noise. You are scaring Tom and Lily. Why don't you go back to your home and wait for Mr. Brown? He will be back soon and he will give you a treat." + +Rex nodded and barked softly. He understood mommy. He was sorry for scaring Tom and Lily. He wanted to be their friend. He turned around and trotted back to his yard. + +Mommy closed the door and hugged Tom and Lily. "See, Rex is not a bad dog. He just wanted some attention. Maybe tomorrow, we can go and visit him and play with him. Would you like that?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and smiled. They were not scared anymore. They liked Rex. They finished their cocoa and went to bed. They dreamed of bouncing with Rex and having fun. +Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big hill of dirt with many ants. Tim wanted to poke the hill with a stick, but Lily stopped him. + +"No, Tim, don't do that. The ants live there. They are very wise. They work hard and help each other. They can teach us many things," Lily said. + +"How do you know that? Have you talked to the ants?" Tim asked. + +"No, but I believe it. My grandma told me. She said that ants are very smart and strong. They can carry things bigger than themselves. They can find food and water. They can make tunnels and bridges. They can fight enemies. They can communicate with each other. They are amazing," Lily said. + +"Wow, that is amazing. I want to learn from the ants. Can we watch them and see what they do?" Tim said. + +"Sure, we can. But we have to be quiet and respectful. We don't want to scare them or hurt them. They are our friends," Lily said. + +So Tim and Lily sat down and watched the ants. They saw how the ants moved in lines, how they carried leaves and seeds, how they cleaned their hill, how they greeted each other, how they avoided dangers. They learned a lot from the ants. They felt happy and curious. They decided to be more like the ants. They decided to be wise. +Sam is a dog. He likes to run and play in the yard. He has a house with a roof.

She gives him a treat. + +Sam is happy. He likes hugs and kisses. He likes treats. He loves Mom. He learns his lesson. He does not go on the roof again. +Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a whip that they found in a box. They used the whip to make noises and pretend they were cowboys and cowgirls. + +One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was barking and running around. Lila and Tom were scared of the dog. They wanted to go home. + +"Let's skip to the gate," Lila said. "Maybe the dog will not see us." + +"OK," Tom said. They held hands and started to skip. But the dog saw them and ran after them. It wanted to play, but Lila and Tom did not know that. + +Lila and Tom skipped faster and faster. They were almost at the gate. But the dog was faster. It jumped and caught the whip in its mouth. It pulled the whip and made Lila and Tom fall. + +"Help!" Lila and Tom cried. They were on the ground and the dog was on top of them. They thought the dog would bite them. + +But then, a man came. He was the dog's owner. He called the dog and took the whip from its mouth. He said he was sorry and that the dog was friendly. + +"Are you OK?" the man asked Lila and Tom. + +They nodded. They were not hurt, but they were scared. + +The man gave them back the whip and said they could keep it. He said they were brave to skip with the whip. He said the dog liked the whip and wanted to play with them. + +Lila and Tom said thank you and goodbye. They skipped to the gate and went home. They were happy to have the whip, but they decided to play with it away from the dog. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their dog Spot. They liked to run and jump and slide and swing. Spot liked to chase and bark and fetch and dig. + +One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. It looked like a tunnel. They wondered what was inside. Maybe it was a secret place. Maybe it was a treasure. Maybe it was a monster. + +"Let's go and see," said Tom. He was brave and curious. + +"OK," said Lily. She was not so brave, but she did not want to be left behind. + +They held hands and walked towards the hole. Spot followed them, wagging his tail. + +They reached the hole and looked inside. It was dark and cold and quiet. They could not see anything. + +"Hello?" said Tom. He wanted to hear if anyone was there. + +"Hello?" said a voice. It sounded friendly and polite. + +They were surprised. Who was it? Where was it? + +"Who are you?" asked Lily. + +"I'm Ben," said the voice. "I live here. This is my home. It's underground." + +"Underground?" repeated Tom. "Why do you live underground?" + +"Because I'm a mole," said Ben. "Moles live underground. We dig tunnels and make rooms and eat worms. Do you want to see?" + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They were curious, but they were also scared. They did not know what a mole looked like. They did not know if he was nice or mean. + +"Thank you, but no thank you," said Lily. She was polite, but she wanted to go back. + +"Yes, thank you, but no thank you," said Tom. He agreed with his sister. + +They turned around and walked back to the hole. Spot was waiting for them. He was happy to see them. + +"Bye, Ben," they said. + +"Bye, Lily and Tom and Spot," said Ben. "Maybe I'll see you again. Have fun in the park." + +They climbed out of the hole and ran to the slide. They were glad to be in the sun and the air. They decided not to go underground again. They liked the park better. +Tim and Mia are playing in the park. They like to pretend they are superheroes. Tim wears a red cape and Mia wears a blue mask. They run and jump and save the world from bad guys. + +"Look, Tim, there is a big dragon!" Mia says. She points to a slide that looks like a dragon's head. "We have to stop it before it breathes fire!" + +"OK, Mia, let's go!" Tim says. He feels his muscle in his arm. He thinks he is very strong. He follows Mia to the slide. + +But when they get there, they see another boy on the slide. He is wearing a green shirt and a yellow hat. He is making loud noises with his mouth. + +"Rrrr, I am the dragon! I will eat you, superheroes!" the boy says. He pretends to bite Tim and Mia. + +"Hey, stop that!" Tim says. He does not like the boy. He thinks he is rude. "You are not a real dragon. You are fake!" + +"No, I am not! I am the best dragon ever!" the boy says. He does not want to share the slide. He tries to push Tim and Mia away. + +Tim and Mia are angry. They want to play on the slide too. They decide to work together. They use their cape and mask to tickle the boy. The boy laughs and lets go of the slide. + +"Ha, we got you, dragon!" Mia says. She and Tim climb on the slide. They slide down fast and have fun. + +"Wow, you are good superheroes!" the boy says. He is not mad anymore. He thinks Tim and Mia are cool. "Can I play with you?" + +"Sure, you can!" Tim says. He and Mia are happy. They like to make new friends. "But you have to hurry. The world needs us!" +Tom and Mia were hungry. They wanted to eat tuna. They saw a can of tuna on the shelf. But the shelf was high. They needed a chair. + +Tom got a chair and put it near the shelf. He climbed on the chair. He reached for the can of tuna. But he was not careful. He stumbled and fell. The can of tuna fell too. It hit his head. It hurt a lot. + +Mia saw Tom fall. She was scared. She ran to him. She said, "Tom, are you okay? Tom, wake up!" + +But Tom did not wake up. He did not move. He did not breathe. He was gone. + +Mia cried. She was sad. She was alone. She wished she had not wanted tuna. She wished Tom was still here. She was not lucky. She was unlucky. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But their favorite thing was to play in the mud. They liked to make mud pies, mud castles and mud monsters. + +One day, their mom said they had to go home. She said they had to take a bath and get ready for dinner. Tom and Lily did not want to go. They wanted to play more in the mud. They tried to resist. They said no, no, no. They ran away from their mom. They hid behind a tree. + +But their mom was not happy. She found them and took them by the hand. She said they had to go now. She said they were very dirty and smelly. She said they had to be clean and nice. She took them to the car and drove them home. + +At home, their mom put them in the tub. She used soap and water to wash them. She scrubbed their hair, their face, their arms and their legs. She rinsed them with clear water. She dried them with a towel. She put them in clean clothes. + +Tom and Lily felt different. They felt fresh and soft. They smelled good and sweet. They looked at each other and smiled. They said they liked to be clean. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They said they loved her. Their mom smiled and said she loved them too. She said they could play in the mud again, but only if they promised to take a bath afterwards. Tom and Lily nodded and said yes, yes, yes. They were happy. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks, but they want more. They ask their moms and dads for more cars and trucks. + +One day, Tim and Sam receive a big box. It is from their grandpa. They are very happy. They open the box and see two big trucks. The trucks are red and blue. They have wheels and lights and horns. They also have gas. Gas makes the trucks go fast. + +Tim and Sam take the trucks outside. They fill them with gas. They turn them on and make them go. The trucks make loud noises. Vroom, vroom, vroom! They drive them on the grass and on the road. They have fun. + +Other kids see Tim and Sam and their trucks. They come to watch. They say, "Wow, those are cool trucks! Can we play with them?" Tim and Sam say, "Sure, you can play with us. We have enough gas for everyone."

They say, "We love you, grandpa. You are the best!" +Lila and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big tree with many leaves. The sun was shining and made shadows on the ground. + +"Look, Sam, I have a shadow!" Lila said. She moved her arms and legs and saw her shadow move too. + +"Me too, Lila, me too!" Sam said. He jumped and his shadow jumped too. + +They laughed and played with their shadows. They pretended to be animals and monsters and fairies. + +Then they heard a sound. It was a bird. The bird was on a branch of the tree. The bird was colorful. It had red and blue and yellow feathers. The bird was singing a pretty song. + +"Wow, what a nice bird!" Lila said. "Can you sing like the bird, Sam?" + +"I don't know, Lila, I can try." Sam said. He opened his mouth and made a sound. It was not like the bird. It was loud and funny. + +Lila giggled. "That's not singing, Sam, that's shouting!" + +The bird heard Sam and stopped singing. It looked at Sam and tilted its head. Then it sang again, but this time it copied Sam's sound. + +Lila and Sam were surprised. They looked at the bird and then at each other. They smiled and clapped their hands. + +"Good bird, good bird!" they said. "You can sing like us!" + +The bird nodded and sang some more. Lila and Sam joined the bird and sang too. They had a lot of fun. They made a new friend. They were happy. +Tom liked to learn new things. He liked to read books and ask questions. He wanted to be a smart boy. But he did not like to take quizzes. Quizzes made him nervous and scared. He did not know if he would remember all the answers. + +One day, his teacher said they would have a big quiz on Friday. Tom felt his heart beat fast. He did not want to take the quiz. He wished he could stay home and play with his toys. He thought of a plan. He would pretend to be sick on Friday and ask his mom to let him stay in bed. + +But his plan did not work. On Thursday night, he ate too much candy and got a stomach ache. He felt very bad and could not sleep. He tossed and turned in his bed. He was restless. He wished he had not eaten the candy. He wished he had studied for the quiz. + +The next morning, his mom came to his room. She saw his pale face and felt his forehead. She said he had a fever and could not go to school. Tom felt a little happy. He thought his plan had worked. But then his mom said something that made him feel worse. She said she had called his teacher and asked her to send the quiz home. She said she would help him take the quiz in his bed. She said she would not permit him to play with his toys until he finished the quiz. + +Tom felt his heart sink. He realized he had made a big mistake. He wished he had not pretended to be sick. He wished he had gone to school and taken the quiz with his friends. He wished he had listened to his teacher and learned new things. He learned a hard lesson. He learned that lying and cheating do not pay. He learned that quizzes are not so bad after all. He learned that he liked to be a smart boy. +Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily liked the park. She liked to swing and slide and run. Mom liked to watch Lily and smile. + +"Mom, can I go to the sandbox?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey. But stay where I can see you, okay?" Mom said. + +Lily nodded and ran to the sandbox. She saw a boy and a girl playing with a bucket and a shovel. They looked normal. Lily wanted to play with them. + +"Hi, can I play with you?" Lily said. + +The boy and the girl looked at Lily. They did not smile. They did not say hi. They looked mean. + +"No, you can't. This is our sandbox. Go away!" the boy said. + +He threw sand at Lily. It hurt her eyes. She cried. + +"Stop it! That's not nice!" Lily said. + +The girl laughed. She threw more sand at Lily. It hurt her face. She cried louder. + +"Help! Mom!" Lily called. + +Mom heard Lily. She ran to the sandbox.

They were not normal. They were monsters. + +Lily and Mom were scared. They tried to run away. But the boy and the girl were faster. They jumped on Lily and Mom. They bit them. They ate them. + +The end. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a toy jeep that they shared, but sometimes they fought over it. One day, they saw a big jeep parked on the street. It was shiny and red, and had a lot of stickers on it. + +"Wow, look at that jeep!" Anna said. "It's so cool! I wish we had a jeep like that." + +"Me too," Ben said. "Maybe we can ask Mom and Dad to buy us one." + +They ran to the big jeep and looked inside. They saw a lot of things, like a map, a flashlight, a hat, and a bag. They also saw a sign that said "Do not touch". + +"What do you think is in the bag?" Anna asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe something fun. Let's open it and see." + +"But the sign says do not touch," Anna said. "We should not do that. It's not nice." + +"Who cares?" Ben said. "It's just a sign. No one will know. Come on, it will be fun." + +He reached for the bag, but before he could touch it, the door of the jeep opened. A man came out. He was tall and angry. He had a beard and a hat. He looked at the twins and shouted. + +"Hey, what are you doing here? Get away from my jeep! This is not a toy! This is my jeep!" + +He grabbed the bag and opened it. Inside, there was a snake. It was green and black, and had a big mouth. It hissed and bit the man on the hand. The man screamed and dropped the bag. The snake slithered away. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" the man said. "That snake is poisonous! It's bitter! It hurts! Help me!" + +Anna and Ben were scared. They ran away from the jeep and back to their house. They told Mom and Dad what happened. Mom and Dad called the police and the ambulance. They said the man was a bad man who stole the jeep and the snake.

They do not want to leave their sand castles and shells. They do not want to say goodbye to the boat. They think it is not fair. They want to play more. + +But they know they have to listen to their mom. They hurry to pack their things. They give one last wave to the boat. They hope the boat will come back another day. They run to their mom and get in the car. They hope the sun will come out soon. They want to go back to the beach. +Tommy and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big sign that said "Race". It had a picture of a medal. Tommy wanted to win the medal. He said to Lily, "Let's race. I will be faster than you." + +Lily said, "OK, but be careful. The path is bumpy and rocky. You might fall and hurt yourself." + +Tommy did not listen. He said, "I will not fall. I will be the best." He ran as fast as he could. He did not look where he was going. He did not see the big rock in front of him. He tripped and fell. He scraped his knee and his elbow. He cried out loud. + +Lily ran to him. She helped him get up. She said, "Are you OK, Tommy? I told you to be careful. You should not run so fast on a bumpy path." + +Tommy felt bad. He felt pain in his knee and his elbow. He felt sad that he did not win the medal. He felt sorry that he did not listen to Lily. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. I was too fast and too silly. I don't want the medal anymore. I just want to be your friend." + +Lily smiled. She said, "It's OK, Tommy. I'm still your friend. You don't need a medal to be the best. You just need to be kind and careful. Come on, let's go to the nurse. She will make you feel better." + +They walked to the nurse. She cleaned Tommy's wounds and put a band-aid on them. She gave him a sticker and a hug. She said, "You are brave, Tommy. You will heal soon. Next time, be more careful when you race. And listen to your friend. She is smart and nice." + +Tommy felt better. He thanked the nurse. He said to Lily, "Thank you, Lily. You are smart and nice. And you are fast, too. You won the race. You deserve the medal." + +Lily said, "No, Tommy. I don't want the medal, either. I want to share it with you. You are brave and kind. And you are my friend. That's what matters." + +They hugged each other. They felt happy. They felt proud. They felt uncomfortable. They laughed. They shared the medal. They played some more. They had fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They found some celery in the fridge and decided to use it for their salad. + +"Look, Ben, I have a big celery stick. It is green and crunchy. Do you want some?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, please. I like celery. It is good for you," Ben said. He took a bite of the celery and made a loud crunch sound. + +Lily smiled and bit her celery too. She liked the sound and the taste. But then she saw something on her celery that made her worried. It was a small black bug with many legs. It was crawling on her celery. + +"Ben, Ben, stop!" Lily shouted. She dropped her celery and pointed at the bug. "There is a bug on my celery. It is yucky. Do not eat it!" + +Ben looked at his celery and saw the bug too. He felt scared and grossed out. He threw his celery away and ran to Lily. They hugged each other and shivered. + +"Thank you, Lily. You warned me about the bug. You are a good sister," Ben said. + +"You are welcome, Ben. You are a good brother," Lily said. + +They decided to play something else and never touch the celery again. They hoped the bug would go away and leave them alone. They did not like bugs on their food. +Sam was a little boy who liked to zip his coat. He liked the sound and the feeling of the zipper. He always zipped his coat when he went outside with his mom. + +One day, Sam and his mom went to the store. They needed to buy some food and some toys. Sam was happy to go to the store. He liked to see the different things and the people. + +But when they got to the store, Sam saw something that made him sad. He saw a teddy bear on a shelf. The teddy bear was brown and soft. It had a red bow around its neck. But it was alone. There were no other teddy bears next to it. Sam felt sorry for the teddy bear. He thought it must be lonely. + +"Mom, can I have that teddy bear?" Sam asked, pointing to the shelf. + +"Which one, honey?" his mom asked, looking around. + +"That one, the lonely one," Sam said. + +His mom followed his finger and saw the teddy bear. She smiled and picked it up. + +"It is a very nice teddy bear," she said. "Do you want it?" + +"Yes, please," Sam said. "I want to be its friend." + +His mom nodded and put the teddy bear in the cart. She hugged Sam and said, "You are a very kind boy, Sam. I'm sure the teddy bear will love you." + +Sam smiled and zipped his coat. He held the teddy bear close to his chest. He felt happy and warm. He was not lonely anymore. And neither was the teddy bear. +Sam and Jen were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They had big luggage that they put in the car. Sam and Jen were very excited. They wanted to see new things and have fun. + +"Where are we going, Mom?" Sam asked. + +"We are going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. They live far away, so we have to take a plane," Mom said. + +"A plane? Wow! Can we see the clouds?" Jen asked. + +"Yes, you can. But first, we have to go to the airport. Come on, let's hop in the car," Dad said. + +Sam and Jen hopped in the car and buckled their seat belts. They drove for a long time until they reached the airport. There were many people and cars and noises. Sam and Jen held Mom and Dad's hands as they walked to the big building. + +They saw a lot of luggage on a belt. Some luggage was small, some was big, some was colorful, some was plain. Sam and Jen liked to look at the luggage and guess what was inside. + +"Look, that one has stickers on it. Maybe it has toys," Sam said. + +"Look, that one has wheels on it. Maybe it has a bike," Jen said. + +"Look, that one has ears on it. Maybe it has a bunny," Sam said. + +"Look, that one has a weird shape. Maybe it has a monster," Jen said. + +They both laughed. They liked to make up stories about the luggage. They did not see that one of the luggage had eyes on it. It was not a normal luggage. It was a sneaky luggage. It was looking for a chance to escape. It did not like to be on the belt. It wanted to hop away and have an adventure. +Tom and Sam were brothers who lived on a farm. They helped their dad grow wheat in the fields. Wheat was a plant that made bread and cake. Tom and Sam liked to eat bread and cake. + +One day, their dad said, "Boys, I have to go to town for a while. You stay here and watch the wheat. Don't let anyone take it or eat it." + +Tom and Sam nodded. They were good boys who listened to their dad. They went to the field and sat on a big rock. They saw the wheat waving in the wind. It looked yellow and soft. + +Soon, they heard a noise. It was a big, black bird. It flew over the wheat and landed on a stalk. It pecked at the wheat with its sharp beak. It looked hungry and mean. + +"Hey, bird, go away!" Tom shouted. "This is our wheat. You can't have it." + +The bird looked at Tom and Sam. It said, "Caw, caw, caw. I don't care. I'm hungry. I want wheat. You can't stop me." + +Tom and Sam were angry. They picked up some stones and threw them at the bird. But the bird was fast and smart. It dodged the stones and flew to another stalk. It pecked at more wheat. + +Tom and Sam ran after the bird. They tried to scare it away. But the bird was not afraid. It laughed at them and said, "Caw, caw, caw. You are silly boys. You don't know how to protect your wheat. I will eat it all." + +Tom and Sam were sad and tired. They ran out of stones. They could not catch the bird. They saw the bird eating more and more wheat. The wheat looked broken and thin. + +They wished their dad would come back. They wished they had a dog or a cat to chase the bird away. They wished they had been more humble and shared some wheat with the bird. Maybe then the bird would have been nice and left some wheat for them. + +But it was too late. The bird ate all the wheat. There was none left for Tom and Sam. There was none left for bread and cake. There was none left for their dad. + +The bird flew away with a full belly. It said, "Caw, caw, caw. Thank you, boys, for the wheat. It was delicious. Goodbye." + +Tom and Sam cried. They had failed their dad. They had lost their wheat. They had no bread and cake. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and make snowmen. One day, Ben fell down and hurt his knee. It was bleeding and it hurt a lot. Lily ran to him and hugged him. + +"Don't cry, Ben. I will help you," she said. She took off her scarf and wrapped it around his knee. "This will make it better. It is a magic scarf." + +Ben smiled and thanked her. He felt a little better. They walked back to their houses, holding hands. Lily's mom saw them and asked what happened. + +"Ben hurt his knee, but I healed him with my scarf," Lily said proudly. + +"That was very kind of you, Lily. But you know, your scarf is not really magic. It is just a scarf. You healed him with your love and care," Lily's mom said gently. + +Lily looked at her scarf. It was red and blue and had stars on it. She liked it a lot. It was a gift from her grandma. She thought it was special and original. + +"But mom, I like my scarf. It is my favorite. Can I keep it?" she asked. + +"Of course you can, sweetie. It is yours. And you can share it with Ben if you want. He is your friend. But remember, the real magic is in your heart, not in your scarf," Lily's mom said. + +Lily nodded and hugged her mom. She was happy. She had a magic heart and a magic scarf. And she had Ben. They were best friends. +Anna and Ben are twins. They love to make cards for their friends and family. They use paper, scissors, glue, and stickers. They are very careful with their cards. They know they are delicate. + +One day, they want to make a card for their grandma. She is sick and needs to feel better. They find a big piece of paper and fold it in half. They cut out some hearts and flowers. They glue them on the paper. They write "We love you, Grandma" with a crayon. + +"Look, Ben, our card is done!" Anna says. "It is very pretty and delicate. Grandma will like it a lot." + +"Yes, Anna, it is. But we need to be very gentle with it. We don't want to rip it or bend it. It is a special card for a special person." Ben says. + +They put the card in an envelope and seal it. They write "To Grandma" on the front. They ask their mom to take them to the post office. They give the card to the mailman. They hope Grandma will get it soon and feel better. They smile and hug each other. They are happy to make Grandma happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the playroom. They liked to build towers and houses with the blocks. Lily had a red shirt and Ben had a blue shirt. + +"Look at my tower, Lily. It is very tall and strong," Ben said. He was proud of his tower. + +Lily looked at Ben's tower and felt angry. She wanted to have the tallest tower. She had an idea. She walked over to Ben and pinched his arm. + +"Ow! That hurts, Lily. Why did you pinch me?" Ben cried. He dropped his blocks and rubbed his arm. + +Lily quickly grabbed some of his blocks and added them to her tower. "Now my tower is taller than yours. Ha ha!" she said. She smiled and pointed at her tower. + +Ben felt sad and mad. He did not like what Lily did. He thought it was not fair. He said to Lily, "That is not nice, Lily. You should not pinch me and take my blocks. That is not how you play. You should share and be kind." + +Lily looked at Ben and saw his tears. She felt sorry for what she did. She realized she was wrong. She said to Ben, "I am sorry, Ben. You are right. I should not pinch you and take your blocks. That was mean and selfish. Here, you can have some of my blocks. Let's make a big tower together." + +Ben smiled and nodded. He took some of Lily's blocks and joined them with his. They worked together and made a big tower. They were happy and proud of their tower. + +They hugged and said, "We are friends. We like to play with blocks." They had fun in the playroom. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, Lily goes to visit Ben at his house. Ben is happy to see Lily. He shows her his toys and his books. + +"Look, Lily, this is my new train. It can go very fast and make noises. Do you want to play with it?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, please. I like trains. They are fun and pretty," Lily says. + +Ben and Lily go to the floor and start to play with the train. They make it go around the room and pretend to be the driver and the passenger. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, something bad happens. Ben's big brother comes into the room. He is angry and mean. He does not like Ben and Lily playing with his train. He grabs the train and pulls it away from them. + +"Hey, that's mine! You can't play with it. It's too good for you. Go away, you little pests!" he shouts. + +He throws the train at Ben and Lily. It hits Ben on the head and makes him cry. It breaks Lily's glasses and makes her scared. The train falls on the floor and breaks into pieces. + +Ben and Lily are very sad and hurt. They don't want to play anymore. They want to go home. They don't like Ben's big brother. He is very bad and rude. He ruined their fun and their train. He made them have a bad ending. +Tom and Lily were playing with blocks in their room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks. + +Tom found a shiny block that looked like metal. He wanted to make it more shiny, so he took a cloth and started to polish it. He rubbed the cloth on the block hard and fast. + +"Look, Lily, look at my shiny block!" Tom said. "It is the best block ever!" + +Lily looked at Tom's block. She saw that it was very shiny, but she also saw that it had scratches on it. Tom had rubbed the cloth too hard and made the block harsh. + +"That is not a good block, Tom," Lily said. "You made it harsh and ugly. You ruined it!" + +Tom felt angry and sad. He did not think he ruined the block. He thought he made it better. He did not like Lily's words. + +He threw the block at Lily and hit her on the head. Lily cried out loud and dropped her blocks. She felt pain and anger. + +She threw a block back at Tom and hit him on the chest. Tom cried out loud and dropped his cloth. He felt pain and anger. + +They threw more blocks at each other and made a big mess. They yelled and cried and hurt each other. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the room. She saw the blocks and the cloth and the scratches and the tears. She felt sad and angry. + +She picked up Tom and Lily and put them on the bed. She took away the blocks and the cloth. She said in a loud voice: + +"Stop it, Tom and Lily! Stop fighting and hurting each other! You are not nice to each other. You are not nice to your toys. You need to say sorry and hug and share. You need to be gentle and kind. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and sniffed. They felt sorry and ashamed. They said sorry and hugged and shared. They felt better and happier. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said in a soft voice: + +"That's good, Tom and Lily. That's how you play with blocks. You can have them back later, but only if you are careful and nice. I love you both very much." + +Tom and Lily said they loved Mom too. They cuddled with Mom and each other. They learned a lesson. They did not polish or throw blocks anymore. +Ben and Lily were twins. They liked to play together and share their toys. But they also liked to have their own things. They had a big birthday soon. They would be four years old. + +Mom and Dad said they had a surprise for them. They said they had a unique present for each of them. Ben and Lily were very curious. They wondered what it could be. They asked Mom and Dad for clues, but they only smiled and said they had to wait. + +On their birthday, Mom and Dad gave them a big box with a bow. They said they had to pass the box to each other and open it together. Ben and Lily were excited. They passed the box back and forth, feeling its weight and shaking it gently. They ripped off the paper and opened the lid. + +Inside the box, they saw two fluffy puppies. One was black and one was white. They had big eyes and wagging tails. They licked Ben and Lily's faces and made happy noises. Ben and Lily were amazed. They hugged the puppies and thanked Mom and Dad. + +Mom and Dad said they were glad they liked their present. They said the puppies were brothers and they needed a lot of love and care. They said they were unique because they had different colored eyes. The black puppy had one blue eye and one brown eye. The white puppy had one green eye and one hazel eye. Ben and Lily thought they were the coolest puppies ever. They named them Blue and Green. They decided to share them and play with them every day. They said it was the best birthday ever. +Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big horse with a leather saddle. The horse is brown and shiny. It has a long mane and tail. + +"Wow, look at the horse!" Lila says. "It is so pretty and graceful. Can we touch it?" + +Ben nods. They run to the horse and ask the rider if they can pet it. The rider is a nice lady. She smiles and says yes. + +Lila and Ben stroke the horse's neck and back. The horse is warm and soft. They feel the leather saddle. It is smooth and hard. + +"How does it feel to ride the horse?" Lila asks the lady. + +"It feels wonderful," the lady says. "The horse is strong and gentle. It carries me with ease. Do you want to try?" + +Lila and Ben are excited. They say yes. The lady helps them climb on the saddle. She holds them tight. The horse walks slowly around the park. Lila and Ben feel the horse's breath and heartbeat. They feel happy and safe. + +"Thank you for letting us ride your horse," Lila and Ben say to the lady. + +"You're welcome," the lady says. "You are very brave and polite. I hope you have a nice day." + +Lila and Ben wave goodbye to the lady and the horse. They run back to their mom and dad. They tell them about their adventure. They feel proud and grateful. +Lily was very happy yesterday. It was her birthday and she had a big cake with candles. She also received many gifts from her family and friends. She opened them one by one and said thank you. + +But there was one gift that made her confused. It was a big box with a bow. She opened it and saw a lot of paper and bubble wrap. She looked inside and saw nothing. She asked her mom, "Where is the gift?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "The gift is inside the paper and bubble wrap. You have to find it. It is a surprise." + +Lily was curious and started to tear the paper and pop the bubble wrap. She had fun doing that, but she still did not see the gift. She asked her dad, "Where is the gift?" + +Her dad winked and said, "The gift is very small and very special. You have to look carefully. It is a treasure." + +Lily was excited and continued to search the paper and bubble wrap. She felt something hard and shiny. She pulled it out and saw a necklace with a heart pendant. She gasped and said, "Wow! It is so pretty!" + +Her mom and dad hugged her and said, "Happy birthday, Lily! We love you very much. The necklace is a gift from us. The heart means that you are always in our hearts." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom and dad! I love you too. This is the best gift ever!" She put on the necklace and felt very happy. She was not confused anymore. She was just grateful. +Lily was a shy girl who liked to write in her journal. She had many thoughts and feelings, but she did not like to share them with others. She kept her journal in a secret place under her bed, where no one could find it. + +One day, Lily's big brother Tom came into her room. He was looking for his toy car, but he could not find it. He saw Lily's journal under her bed and he was curious. He picked it up and opened it. + +"Hey, what is this?" he asked. "Is this your diary?" + +Lily was scared and angry. She ran to Tom and tried to grab her journal back. "No, Tom, give it to me! That is mine! You cannot read it!" she shouted. + +Tom laughed and held the journal high above his head. "Why not? What are you hiding in here? Let me see!" he teased. + +Lily felt tears in her eyes. She did not want Tom to see her secrets. She did not want him to make fun of her. She wished he would leave her alone. + +"Tom, please, stop it! You are being mean!" she cried. + +Tom saw that Lily was really upset. He felt sorry for her. He did not mean to hurt her. He lowered the journal and handed it to her. + +"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, Lily. I was just joking. Here, take your journal. I won't look at it again. Promise." he said. + +Lily took her journal and hugged it to her chest. She sniffed and wiped her eyes. She looked at Tom and saw that he was sorry. She felt a little better. + +"Thank you, Tom. I'm sorry too. I know you were just looking for your car. But this is my journal. It is special to me. It has my stories and my dreams. Please don't touch it again." she said. + +Tom nodded and smiled. He gave Lily a hug and said, "I understand, Lily. It is your journal. I won't touch it again. And I won't tell anyone about it. It is your secret. And you know what? I think you are a very good writer. Maybe someday you can show me some of your stories. If you want to." + +Lily smiled back and said, "Maybe someday, Tom. Maybe someday." +One day, a cat and a dog were playing in the yard. The cat liked to chase the dog and the dog liked to run away. They had a lot of fun together. + +But then, the dog saw a big puddle of water. He wanted to splash in it and get wet. He ran to the puddle and jumped in. He shook his body and his tail. Water flew everywhere. + +The cat did not like water. She hated getting wet. She saw the dog in the puddle and thought he was crazy. She ran away from him and hid under a tree. + +The dog did not know why the cat ran away. He thought she wanted to play with him. He got out of the puddle and ran after her. He wagged his tail and barked. + +The cat saw the dog coming. She saw his wet fur and his wet tail. She was scared. She hissed and scratched. She did not want the dog to soak her with water. + +The dog was sad. He did not mean to scare the cat. He just wanted to be friends. He stopped and looked at the cat. He saw her angry eyes and her sharp claws. He knew he had to say sorry. + +He licked his nose and bowed his head. He whined and wagged his tail. He tried to tell the cat he was sorry. He hoped she would forgive him. + +The cat saw the dog's sorry face and his wagging tail. She felt a little sorry for him too. She knew he did not mean to be crazy. He just liked water. She liked him too, sometimes. + +She came out from under the tree and rubbed her head against his leg. She purred and meowed. She tried to tell the dog she forgave him. She hoped he would not splash her again. + +The dog was happy. He felt the cat's soft fur and her purr. He licked her ear and nuzzled her cheek. He thanked her for forgiving him. He promised he would not splash her again. + +They walked back to the yard and lay down in the sun. They snuggled and snoozed. They were friends again. +Anna and Ben were playing hide and seek in the big house. Anna was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Anna counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She opened doors and peeked under beds, but she could not find him. + +She went to the last room at the end of the hall. The door was closed and had a shiny knob. Anna was anxious. She wondered if Ben was hiding in there. She reached for the knob and turned it slowly. The door opened with a creak. + +"Boo!" Ben shouted, jumping out from behind a curtain. He had a big smile on his face. He had fooled Anna. + +Anna screamed and then laughed. She was not scared, she was surprised. She hugged Ben and said, "You are a good hider, Ben. You made me jump." + +Ben hugged her back and said, "You are a good seeker, Anna. You found me at last." + +They were happy and decided to play again. They took turns hiding and seeking in the big house. They had a lot of fun. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a small red ball. They take turns to throw and catch the ball. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. The dog sees the ball. The dog wants the ball. The dog runs to the ball and grabs it with his teeth. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Sara says. "Give it back!" + +The dog growls. He does not want to yield the ball. He shakes his head and runs away. + +"Come on, Tom, let's get our ball!" Sara says. She runs after the dog. + +Tom is scared. He does not like the big dog. He thinks the dog will bite them. He says, "Sara, stop! The dog is too big. We will get in trouble." + +But Sara does not listen. She is angry. She wants her ball. She chases the dog to the other side of the park. + +There, she sees a man. The man is the dog's owner. He sees Sara and the dog. He says, "Hey, what are you doing? Leave my dog alone!" + +Sara stops. She says, "But he took our ball. It's ours. We want it back." + +The man looks at the ball. He sees that it is small and red. He says, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know. My dog likes balls. He thought it was his. Here, you can have it back." + +He takes the ball from the dog's mouth. He gives it to Sara. Sara says, "Thank you." + +The man says, "You're welcome. But be careful. Don't run after dogs. They might get scared or angry. And don't play with small balls. They might choke them. Play with bigger balls. They are safer and more fun." + +Sara nods. She says, "OK. I will. I'm sorry for chasing your dog." + +The man says, "It's OK. No harm done. Just be more careful next time." + +Sara says, "I will. Bye." + +She runs back to Tom. She shows him the ball. She says, "Look, Tom, I got our ball back. The man was nice. He gave it to me." + +Tom says, "That's good. But you were brave. I was scared. The dog was big. You could have got in trouble." + +Sara says, "I know. But I wanted our ball. It's our favorite. But the man said we should play with bigger balls. They are safer and more fun. Do you want to try?" + +Tom says, "OK. Maybe. But can we play away from the dog?" + +Sara says, "Sure. Let's go to the other side of the park. There are more kids there. Maybe they have bigger balls. Come on, let's go." + +They hold hands and run to the other side of the park. They look for bigger balls. They have fun. They forget about the dog. They are happy. +Anna liked to collect flowers. She had a big vase in her room where she put the flowers. She liked to smell them and look at their colors. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw many flowers there. She ran to them and picked some. She was very happy. + +"Mom, look at these flowers! They are so pretty! Can I put them in my vase?" she asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. But be careful not to hurt the flowers or yourself. Some of them have thorns," her mom said. + +Anna nodded. She held the flowers gently in her hands. She walked back to her mom. They went home. + +When they got home, Anna ran to her room. She saw her vase on the table. It was open. She smiled. She put the flowers in the vase. She arranged them nicely. She smelled them. They smelled good. + +She heard a knock on the door. It was her dad. He came home from work. + +"Hi, Anna. What have you been doing today?" he asked. + +"Hi, dad. I collected flowers. Look at my vase. It is full of flowers. Do you like them?" she said. + +"I love them, Anna. They are beautiful. Just like you. You are a great collector," he said. + +He hugged her and kissed her. She hugged him back. She was very happy. +Lily was sad. Her doll had a big hole in her dress. She loved her doll very much. She wanted her doll to look normal again. + +She went to her mom and showed her the hole. "Mom, can you fix my doll?" she asked. + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. "Of course, sweetie. Let me see what I can do." She took the doll and a needle and some thread. She found a piece of cloth that matched the dress. She sewed the cloth over the hole. She made small stitches and tied a knot. + +She gave the doll back to Lily. "There you go. Your doll is fixed. She looks normal and pretty again." + +Lily was happy. She hugged her doll and her mom. "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you and my doll." She said. + +Mom kissed Lily and her doll. "You're welcome, honey. I love you too. Now, why don't you go and play with your doll and your friends?" She said. + +Lily nodded and ran to her room. She found her other dolls and toys. She made a tea party for them. She invited her mom to join them. They had a lot of fun. Lily was not sad anymore. She was glad that her mom could fix her doll. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bird on a tree. It had red and blue feathers. It was very pretty. + +"Look, Ben, a bird!" Lily said. "I want to take a picture of it." + +Lily had a camera. Her dad gave it to her for her birthday. She loved to take pictures of animals and flowers. She put the camera around her neck. She wore it like a necklace. + +"Be careful, Lily," Ben said. "The bird might fly away. You have to be quiet and slow." + +Ben was wise. He knew a lot about animals. He read many books with his mom. He wanted to be a vet when he grew up. + +Lily nodded. She walked slowly to the tree. She held the camera in her hands. She wanted to get close to the bird. She wanted to see its eyes and beak. + +But the bird saw Lily. It did not like her. It thought she was a threat. It opened its wings and flew down. It pecked at Lily's camera. It made a loud noise. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. "The bird is hurting me! Help, Ben, help!" + +Ben ran to Lily. He tried to scare the bird away. He shouted and waved his arms. But the bird was angry. It did not listen. It pecked at Ben's face. It made him bleed. + +"Help, help, help!" Ben and Lily screamed. "Someone help us!" + +But no one heard them. No one came to help them. The bird kept attacking them. It broke Lily's camera. It hurt them badly. They were very sad and scared. + +The end. +Sam was a boy who liked to play in his backyard. He had a ball, a bike, and a swing. He was happy when he could run and jump and ride and swing. + +One day, a big dog came into his backyard. The dog was mean and angry. It barked and growled and showed its teeth. Sam was scared of the dog. He wanted to go inside his house, but the door was locked. + +Sam tried to hide behind the swing, but the dog saw him. The dog ran towards him and grabbed his leg. Sam screamed and cried. He felt a lot of pain. He wished his mom or dad would come and help him. + +But no one came. The dog bit harder and harder. Sam felt blood and tears on his face. He was miserable and alone. He wished he never played in his backyard. He wished he never saw the dog. He wished he could say goodbye to his ball, his bike, and his swing. He wished he could say goodbye to his mom and dad. But he couldn't. The dog didn't let go. The dog didn't stop. The dog made Sam stop. Forever. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big truck with a cage on the back. Inside the cage, there was a lion. The lion looked sad and angry. + +"Wow, look at the lion!" Tom said. "He is so big and strong!" + +"Let's go closer and see him," Sam said. "Maybe he wants to be our friend." + +But the lion did not want to be their friend. He roared and shook the cage. He wanted to get out of the jail and run free. + +Tom and Sam were scared. They ran away from the truck. They did not want the lion to hurt them. + +"Help, help!" they cried. "The lion is in the jail!" + +A man heard them and came to see what was wrong. He was the driver of the truck. He was taking the lion to the zoo. + +"Don't worry, boys," he said. "The lion can't get out of the jail. He is safe and so are you. But you should not go near him. He is not a pet. He is a wild animal." + +Tom and Sam nodded. They learned their lesson. They did not gaze at the lion anymore. They went home and played with their dog. He was a good friend. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big dog with a long tail. The dog was brown and white and had a shiny collar. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked Tom. + +"Let's ask the owner first," Tom said. They looked around, but they did not see anyone with the dog. The dog was alone. + +"Maybe the owner is hiding," Lily said. "Let's follow the dog and find him." + +They ran after the dog, who was sniffing the grass and the trees. The dog did not see them. They followed the dog's trail for a long time, until they reached a big fence. + +The dog jumped over the fence and vanished. Tom and Lily could not see the dog anymore. + +"Where did the dog go?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe he lives on the other side of the fence." + +They tried to climb the fence, but it was too high and sharp. They heard a loud voice behind them. + +"Hey, you kids! What are you doing here? This is private property!" + +They turned around and saw a man. He was big and red and angry. He had a hat and a stick and a badge. + +"We're sorry, sir," Tom said. "We were looking for the dog's owner." + +"What dog?" the man asked. "There is no dog here. Now get out of here, before I call the police!" + +Tom and Lily were scared. They ran away from the man, back to the park. They did not see the dog or the owner again. + +They wondered where the dog came from, and where he vanished to. They hoped he was happy and safe. They decided to play somewhere else, away from the fence and the angry man. +Jen and Tom were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and roll on the grass. They also liked to hide and seek. Jen was good at hiding. She could find small places to fit in. Tom was good at seeking. He could look and listen and find Jen. + +One day, they saw a big basket of laundry on the porch. It had many clothes inside. Some were white and some were colorful. Jen had an idea. She said to Tom, "Let's play with the laundry. We can make a fort or a dress or a hat." + +Tom nodded. He liked Jen's idea. They ran to the basket and took out some clothes. They put them on the ground and on their heads. They made funny shapes and sounds. They had fun. + +But they did not see Mom coming out of the house. She had more laundry to put in the basket. She saw the mess they made. She was not happy. She said in a loud voice, "Jen and Tom, what are you doing? You are making the laundry dirty and wrinkled. You have to put them back in the basket and close it. Now!" + +Jen and Tom were scared. They did not want to make Mom angry. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We were just playing. We did not mean to make the laundry bad. We will put them back and close the basket. We will be good." + +They quickly picked up the clothes and put them in the basket. They closed the lid and said, "We are sorry, Mom. We love you." Mom smiled. She said, "I love you too. But next time, please ask me before you play with the laundry. It is not a toy. It is for wearing and washing. OK?" + +Jen and Tom nodded. They said, "OK, Mom. We understand. Can we play in the yard again?" Mom said, "Yes, you can. But be careful and stay away from the laundry. And have fun." Jen and Tom hugged Mom and ran to the yard. They played and laughed and had fun. They were good. +Tom and Anna like to play catch with a ball. They throw the ball to each other and try not to drop it. Sometimes they run and jump to catch the ball. They have fun. + +One day, they find a big book in the park. It has many words and pictures in it. Tom picks up the book and looks at it. He says, "This is a dictionary. It helps you learn new words. I want to keep it." + +Anna says, "No, Tom. That is not your book. Someone else left it here. You have to give it back. It is not nice to take things that are not yours." + +Tom says, "But I like this book. It is interesting. You can play with the ball. I want to read the book." + +Anna says, "But I want to play catch with you. The ball is more fun than the book. The book is boring. You are being slow and selfish." + +Tom and Anna start to argue. They pull the book from each other. They are not happy. + +A man comes to the park. He sees Tom and Anna fighting over the book. He says, "Hey, kids. What are you doing with my dictionary? I left it here by mistake. I need it for my work." + +Tom and Anna stop fighting. They feel ashamed. They say, "Sorry, mister. We did not know it was your book. We were playing catch and we found it. We wanted to look at it." + +The man says, "It's okay. I'm glad you like my dictionary. It is a good book to learn new words. But you have to be careful with other people's things. And you have to share and play nicely with each other. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Anna nod. They say, "Yes, we understand. We are sorry. We will share and play nicely." + +The man smiles. He says, "That's good. Here, you can have a look at my dictionary for a few minutes. Then you can give it back to me and play catch with your ball. How does that sound?" + +Tom and Anna smile. They say, "That sounds good. Thank you, mister." + +They look at the dictionary together. They learn some new words. Then they give the book back to the man and play catch with their ball. They have fun. They are friends. +Tom was a very ordinary boy. He liked to play with his toys, eat his snacks, and watch his cartoons. He did not like to do hard things, like reading, writing, or counting. He thought they were too boring and too difficult. + +One day, his teacher gave him a big book. She said it was a special book, full of stories and pictures. She said he could read it by himself, if he tried hard. Tom did not want to read the book. He wanted to play with his toys, eat his snacks, and watch his cartoons. He put the book away and forgot about it. + +The next day, his teacher asked him if he had read the book. Tom said no. He said he did not like books. He said they were too boring and too difficult. His teacher was sad. She said he was missing out on a lot of fun and learning. She said he could do anything he wanted, if he tried hard. She said she believed in him. + +Tom felt bad. He did not want to make his teacher sad. He did not want to miss out on fun and learning. He decided to try to read the book. He took it home and opened it. He looked at the words and the pictures. He sounded out the letters and the sounds. He asked his mom and dad for help when he got stuck. He read one page, then another, then another. He read the whole book. + +He was amazed. He learned about animals, and places, and people. He saw beautiful colors, and shapes, and patterns. He felt happy, and curious, and proud. He had done something hard. He had succeeded. + +The next day, he brought the book back to his teacher. He told her he had read it. He told her what he had learned. He told her how he felt. His teacher was happy. She hugged him and praised him. She said he had done a great job. She said he had a victory. + +Tom was a very ordinary boy. But he had done something extraordinary. He had learned to love books. He had learned to try hard. He had learned to succeed. +Lily was a little cat who loved to play outside. She liked to chase butterflies, climb trees and roll in the grass. One day, she saw a big dog running towards her. She was scared and ran away, but the dog was faster and caught her by the tail. + +"Let me go, let me go!" Lily cried. The dog growled and shook her hard. Lily felt pain and fear. She wished someone would help her. + +Then, she heard a loud bark and saw another dog spring out of the bushes. He was bigger and stronger than the bad dog. He bit the bad dog's ear and made him drop Lily. The bad dog yelped and ran away. + +"Are you okay, little cat?" the good dog asked. He licked Lily's tail gently. Lily felt his warm tongue and his soft paw. She was grateful for his help. + +"Thank you, thank you, big dog!" Lily said. "You saved me from the bad dog. You are very kind and brave." + +The good dog smiled and wagged his tail. "You are welcome, little cat. I don't like bad dogs who hurt cats. You are very cute and sweet." + +Lily and the good dog became friends. They played together in the sun and shared their food. Lily was happy and safe. She never saw the bad dog again. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the farm. They liked to see the animals and feed them some hay. One day, they saw a new animal in the barn. It had big ears and a long face. It looked like a horse, but not quite. + +"What is that?" Lily asked Tom. + +"I don't know. Let's go and see," Tom said. + +They walked slowly to the barn, trying not to make any noise. They did not want to scare the animal. They peeked inside and saw the animal standing in a stall. It had brown fur and a black mane. It was eating some hay. + +"Hello, animal," Lily said softly. "What is your name?" + +The animal looked at them with big brown eyes. It made a funny sound, like a mix of a neigh and a bray. + +"Hee-haw, hee-haw," the animal said. + +Lily and Tom giggled. They thought the sound was funny. + +"Are you a horse?" Tom asked. + +The animal shook its head.
