Tim and his friends were very happy, and they all said "thank you" to Tim for sharing his cheese. +Once upon a time, there was a little farm. On this farm lived a cow, a pig, and a duck. They were very happy on their little farm. + +One day, the cow said to the pig, "Can you explain why the duck has feathers and we don't?" The pig thought for a moment and said, "I think it's because the duck can swim in the water. The feathers keep the duck dry." + +The cow, the pig, and the duck all went to the pond. They watched the duck swim in the water. The cow and the pig were amazed at how the duck could stay dry with its feathers. + +From that day on, the cow, the pig, and the duck played together on their little farm. They were all very happy and had lots of fun. They learned new things from each other every day. +There was a little red house with a big roof. A nice family lived in the house. One day, it was very hot outside. The sun was shining bright, and the family was feeling hot inside the house too. + +The dad said, "We need to fix the roof to make the house cooler." So, the family called a man to help them. The man came and looked at the roof. He said, "I can fix the roof, but you need to pay me." + +The family did not have enough money to pay the man. They were sad. The dad had an idea. He asked his friend to help him fix the roof. The friend said yes. They worked together to fix the roof. + +Now, the house was cooler, and the family was happy. They thanked the friend for his help. The family learned that working together can solve problems. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to eat waffles for breakfast. But they were also very competitive and always wanted to have more waffles than the other. One morning, their mom made four waffles and put them on a big plate. + +"Who wants waffles?" she asked. + +"Me! Me! Me!" Tom and Lily shouted and ran to the table. + +They each grabbed a waffle and started to eat. But they also looked at the other's plate and saw that there was one more waffle left. + +"I want the last waffle!" Tom said. + +"No, I want it!" Lily said. + +They both reached for the waffle and pulled it hard. The waffle broke in half and flew in the air. Tom and Lily watched as the waffle landed on the floor. + +"Oh no!" they said. + +Their mom came to the table and saw the mess. She was not happy. + +"Tom and Lily, what did you do?" she asked. + +"We were trying to get the last waffle," Tom said. + +"We were both hungry," Lily said. + +"Well, you should have shared the waffle instead of fighting over it," their mom said. "Now you have no waffle and you have to clean up the floor." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They helped to clean up the floor and then hugged. + +"Next time, we will share the waffle," Tom said. + +"Yes, and we will not be so competitive," Lily said. + +Their mom smiled and gave them each a kiss. + +"Good," she said. "Now, how about some toast?" +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play at the gym. The gym has many toys and balls and mats. They can run and jump and roll and have fun. + +One day, they meet a new boy at the gym. His name is Sam. Sam is smelly. He does not wash his clothes or his hair. He smells like dirt and cheese and fish. Lily and Ben do not want to play with him. They say, "You are smelly. Go away. We do not like you." + +Sam is sad. He does not have any friends. He sits in a corner and cries. He says, "I am smelly because I do not have a home or a mom or a dad. I live on the street. I do not have any water or soap or shampoo. I do not have any clothes or toys or books. I am lonely and scared." + +Lily and Ben hear Sam. They feel sorry for him. They say, "We are sorry, Sam. We did not know. We were mean to you. We want to be your friends. Do you want to play with us?" + +Sam smiles. He says, "Yes, I want to play with you. Thank you for being nice to me. You are good friends." + +Lily and Ben share their toys and balls and mats with Sam. They run and jump and roll and have fun. They do not care if he is smelly. They care if he is happy. + +The moral of the story is: Do not judge people by how they look or smell. Be kind and friendly to everyone. You never know what they are going through. You can make a difference in their lives. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing on the swings, slide on the slide, and run on the grass. They were having a lot of fun. + +"Look, Lily, I can swing very high!" Ben said. He pushed his legs hard and made the swing go up and down. + +"Wow, Ben, you are so high!" Lily said. She tried to swing high too, but she was smaller than Ben and could not go as fast. + +Ben saw a big tree near the swings. He had an idea. He jumped off the swing and ran to the tree. "Lily, come here! Let's climb the tree!" he said. + +Lily followed Ben to the tree. She was a little scared. The tree was very high and had many branches. "Ben, are you sure we can climb the tree?" she asked. + +"Of course we can! It will be fun!" Ben said. He grabbed a low branch and pulled himself up. He stretched his arms and legs to reach the next branch. He felt like a monkey. + +Lily watched Ben climb higher and higher. She wanted to join him, but she was not as strong as Ben. She tried to grab a branch, but it was too high for her. She stretched her arms, but she could not touch it. + +"Ben, wait for me! I can't climb!" she cried. + +Ben looked down and saw Lily. He felt sorry for her. He climbed down to help her. "Don't worry, Lily. You don't have to climb if you don't want to. We can play something else," he said. + +Lily smiled. She was happy that Ben was nice to her. She hugged him and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend." + +They decided to play tag instead. They ran around the tree, laughing and chasing each other. They had a lot of fun. + +After a while, they heard their mom call them. "Ben, Lily, it's time to go home! I have a surprise for you!" she said. + +They ran to their mom. She had a big smile on her face. She held a bag in her hand. "Guess what I have for you?" she said. + +Ben and Lily looked at the bag. They smelled something sweet. They guessed together, "Dessert!" + +Their mom nodded. She opened the bag and took out two cupcakes. They had frosting and sprinkles on top. They looked yummy. + +"Wow, mom, thank you!" Ben and Lily said. They took the cupcakes and ate them. They were delicious. + +They thanked their mom again and gave her a kiss. They were happy. They had a good day. +Anna loves to help her mom in the garden. She likes to dig, water, and watch the plants grow. She is eager to learn the names of all the flowers and vegetables. + +One day, Anna sees a new plant in the garden. It has big green leaves and tiny yellow flowers. She runs to her mom and asks, "What is this plant, mom?" + +Her mom smiles and says, "This is a zucchini plant, Anna. It will grow long and green and we can eat it for dinner." + +Anna is curious and wants to touch the zucchini plant. She reaches out her hand, but her mom stops her. + +"Be careful, Anna. This plant is not ours. We lend it to our neighbor, Mr. Lee. He gave us some seeds and asked us to plant them for him. He will come and pick them when they are ready." + +Anna is surprised and asks, "Why did he do that, mom?" + +Her mom explains, "Mr. Lee lives in a small apartment and he has no garden. He loves zucchini, but he cannot grow them by himself. He is very kind and he shares his seeds with us. We are happy to lend him some space in our garden and help him grow his zucchini." + +Anna thinks for a moment and says, "That is very nice, mom. Can we also share some of our plants with him?" + +Her mom nods and says, "Of course, Anna. We can give him some tomatoes, carrots, and basil. I'm sure he will appreciate it." + +Anna is happy and says, "I like to share, mom. Sharing is fun and makes friends." + +Her mom hugs her and says, "I'm proud of you, Anna. You are a good and generous girl." +Tim and Sue were playing with shapes. They had a box of shapes that they could fit into holes. Tim liked the stars and Sue liked the circles. They were having fun. + +But then Tim saw that Sue had a star that he wanted. He tried to grab it from her, but Sue held it tight. "No, Tim, this is my star. You have many stars. Let me have this one," Sue said. + +Tim did not listen. He pulled harder and harder, and Sue pulled back. They both shouted and cried. The star broke in two. Tim and Sue looked at the broken star. They felt sorry. + +They looked at each other. They said sorry to each other. They hugged and made up. They decided to share the shapes and play nicely. They learned that it is better to be kind than to fight. They had fun again. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park, draw pictures and share toys. One day, Lily had a brilliant idea. She wanted to make a chocolate cake for Ben's birthday. She asked her mom to help her. + +"Mom, can we make a chocolate cake for Ben?" Lily said. + +"Sure, honey. That's very nice of you. Do you have all the ingredients?" Mom said. + +Lily nodded. She had flour, eggs, butter, sugar and chocolate. Mom helped her mix everything in a big bowl. Then they poured the batter into a cake pan and put it in the oven. + +While the cake was baking, Lily made a card for Ben. She drew a big heart and wrote "Happy Birthday Ben" with her crayons. She also stuck some stickers on the card. She was very proud of her card. + +When the cake was done, Mom took it out of the oven and let it cool. Then she helped Lily put some frosting and sprinkles on top. The cake looked yummy and smelled good. + +Lily wrapped the cake and the card in a box. She was ready to go to Ben's house. She hugged Mom and said thank you. + +"Have fun, sweetie. I'm sure Ben will love your cake and card." Mom said. + +Lily walked to Ben's house with a big smile. She knocked on the door and Ben opened it. He was surprised to see Lily. + +"Hi, Lily. What are you doing here?" Ben said. + +"Hi, Ben. Happy birthday. I made something for you." Lily said. + +She gave him the box and he opened it. He saw the cake and the card and his eyes widened. + +"Wow, Lily. This is amazing. You made a chocolate cake for me? And a card? Thank you so much. You are the best friend ever." Ben said. + +He hugged Lily and invited her in. They cut the cake and ate some slices. They also played with Ben's new toys and had a lot of fun. + +Lily was happy that Ben liked her cake and card. She was glad that she had a brilliant idea. She was also glad that Ben accepted her gift. They were best friends. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the festival with their moms. The festival has many fun things. There are balloons, games, music, and food. + +Tom and Lily see a big tent. The tent has a sign that says "Magic Show". They want to see the magic show. They ask their moms if they can go. Their moms say yes, but they have to stay together and come back soon. + +Tom and Lily go inside the tent. They sit in the front row. They are excited. The magician comes on the stage. He has a hat, a wand, and a big box. He says he will do a trick. He asks for a volunteer. Tom raises his hand. He wants to be the volunteer. + +The magician picks Tom. He tells him to go on the stage. He tells him to get inside the box. He says he will make him disappear and reappear. Tom thinks it is fun. He gets inside the box. The magician closes the box. He waves his wand. He says some words. + +But nothing happens. The box does not open. Tom does not come out. The magician looks worried. He tries again. But still nothing happens. The box is stuck. Tom is trapped. He starts to cry. He wants to get out. He wants his mom. + +Lily hears Tom cry. She feels scared. She wants to help him. She is intelligent. She remembers the magician's words. She thinks they are the key to the trick. She says them out loud. She says them louder and louder. + +Suddenly, the box opens. Tom comes out. He is safe. He is happy. He runs to Lily. He hugs her. He thanks her. She rescued him. She is his hero. + +The magician is amazed. He claps his hands. He says Lily is very smart. He says she solved the trick. He says she is the best volunteer. He gives her a prize. He gives her a balloon. She smiles. She likes the balloon. + +Tom and Lily go back to their moms. They tell them what happened. Their moms are proud of them. They hug them. They say they are brave and clever. They say they are good friends. They say they love them. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They enjoy the festival. They have fun. They are glad they have each other. They are the best friends. +Lily and Ben were playing with cardboard boxes in the living room. They liked to pretend they were in a castle or a spaceship or a zoo. They cut out windows and doors and drew pictures on the cardboard with crayons. + +"Look, Lily, I made a rocket!" Ben said, showing his cardboard box with a cone on top and flames on the side. + +"Wow, Ben, that's awesome!" Lily said, admiring his work. "Can I go inside?" + +"Sure, Lily, you can be my co-pilot!" Ben said, opening the door for her. "But be careful, there are some terrible aliens out there!" + +They climbed into the rocket and pretended to blast off into space. They made noises like "whoosh" and "beep" and "zap". They had a lot of fun. + +But then they heard a loud "woof" from outside. It was Max, their big dog. He saw the cardboard boxes and thought they were toys. He ran towards them and started to bite and tear them. + +"Oh no, Max, stop!" Lily and Ben shouted. "You're ruining our rocket!" + +They tried to get out of the box, but Max was too fast and strong. He knocked over the box and ripped the cone and the flames. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. + +"Bad dog, Max, bad dog!" Lily and Ben scolded him. "You're not supposed to play with our cardboard!" + +But Max didn't understand. He thought they were playing with him. He barked and jumped and ran around the living room. + +Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They looked at their broken rocket and their other cardboard boxes. They wondered how they could prevent Max from destroying them again. They decided to move them to their bedroom and close the door. They hoped Max would leave them alone. + +They picked up their cardboard and crayons and walked to their bedroom. They said goodbye to Max and told him to be a good dog. They planned to make a new rocket and a new castle and a new zoo. They still liked to play with cardboard. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a well in the park. The well is old and deep. + +"Look, a well!" Anna says. "I wonder what is inside." + +"Maybe there is water, or coins, or frogs," Ben says. "Let's throw a stone and see." + +They find a stone and throw it in the well. They listen for a splash, but they hear nothing. + +"Where is the splash?" Anna asks. "Did we lose the stone?" + +"Maybe the well is too deep," Ben says. "Or maybe the stone is too small." + +They look for a bigger stone and throw it in the well. They listen again, but they still hear nothing. + +"Where is the splash?" Ben asks. "Did we lose the stone again?" + +"Maybe the well is too old," Anna says. "Or maybe the stone is too big." + +They look for a medium stone and throw it in the well. They listen one more time, but they hear nothing again. + +"Where is the splash?" Anna and Ben ask together. "Did we lose all the stones?" + +They are sad and confused. They do not understand why the well does not make a splash. They do not know that the well is dry and has no water. They think that the well is magic and keeps the stones. They decide to leave the well and play something else. +Tom and Sam are two dogs who live in a farm. They like to run, play and bark with the other animals. One day, they find a big bone in the field. It smells good and looks tasty. + +"Wow, look at this bone!" Tom says. "It is so big and hard. I want to eat it!" + +"Me too!" Sam says. "But we have to share it. It is not fair to take it all." + +The two dogs discuss how to share the bone. They decide to break it in half. But the bone is very strong. They bite and pull and tug, but the bone does not break. + +They try harder and harder, but the bone only makes a loud noise. The noise wakes up the farmer, who is sleeping in his house. He hears the dogs and gets angry. + +"Hey, you noisy dogs!" the farmer shouts. "What are you doing with my bone? That is not your food, that is my tool! I use it to make holes in the ground for the seeds!" + +The farmer runs to the field and takes the bone from the dogs. He scolds them and chases them away. He does not give them any food or water for the rest of the day. + +Tom and Sam are very sad and hungry. They wish they had not found the bone. They wish they had not been greedy. They wish they had listened to the farmer. They learn a hard lesson. The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together in the house. But today they have a quarrel. Anna wants to play with the doll and Ben wants to play with the car. + +"No, it is my doll!" Anna says. "You can play with the ball." + +"No, it is my car!" Ben says. "You can play with the book." + +They pull and push and shout. They are not happy. + +Mom hears the quarrel. She comes to the house. She sees Anna and Ben. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. "Why are you quarreling?" + +"Anna and Ben look at Mom. They feel sorry. + +"We want to play, but we want different things," Anna says. + +"We don't want to share," Ben says. + +Mom shakes her head. She says, "You are not ready to play together. You need to learn to share and take turns. Sharing is caring. If you share, you can have more fun." + +Anna and Ben think about what Mom says. They nod. + +"Sorry, Mom," Anna says. "Sorry, Ben." + +"Sorry, Mom," Ben says. "Sorry, Anna." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's better. Now, why don't you play with both the doll and the car? You can make a story with them. Maybe the doll and the car are friends too." + +Anna and Ben like the idea. They say, "Yes, Mom. Thank you, Mom." + +They hug Mom. Then they hug each other. They are friends again. They play with the doll and the car in the house. They are happy. +Lila and Sam are twins. They like to play and eat together. One day, they have soup for lunch. The soup is spicy. It makes their mouths hot. + +Lila says, "I don't like this soup. It hurts my tongue." + +Sam says, "Me too. I want water." + +They drink some water. Then they see something white on the table. It is a tooth. + +Lila says, "Whose tooth is this?" + +Sam says, "I don't know. Maybe it is mine." + +He touches his mouth. He feels a gap. He says, "Oh no! It is my tooth. It fell out." + +Lila says, "Don't be sad. It is normal. You will get a new tooth soon." + +Sam says, "Really? How?" + +Lila says, "Mommy told me. If you put your tooth under your pillow, the tooth fairy will come at night. She will take your tooth and give you a coin." + +Sam says, "Wow! That is cool. Let's do that." + +They run to their room. They find a pillow. They put the tooth under it. They turn off the light. They wait for the tooth fairy. They are happy. +Sara and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. Sara had a big red block and Ben had a small blue block. They wanted to see who could make the highest tower. + +"I can make my tower taller than yours," Sara said. She put her red block on top of two yellow blocks. + +"No, I can make my tower taller than yours," Ben said. He put his blue block on top of three green blocks. + +They kept adding more blocks to their towers. They were very careful not to make them fall. Sara and Ben looked at each other's towers. They were almost the same height. + +"Look, my tower is one inch taller than yours," Sara said. She pointed to the top of her tower. + +"No, my tower is one inch taller than yours," Ben said. He pointed to the top of his tower. + +They measured their towers with a ruler. They were both right. Their towers were the same height. They had both used six blocks. + +Sara and Ben smiled at each other. They were not mad. They were glad. They had both done a good job. + +"Wow, we are both good at building towers," Sara said. + +"Yes, we are both good at building towers," Ben said. + +They clapped their hands. They applauded themselves and each other. They were proud of their towers. They hugged and said, "Let's play some more." +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. But today, they see a big cloud in the sky. The cloud is dark and loud. It makes them feel anxious. + +"Look, Ben, the cloud is coming from the west. Do you think it will rain?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know, Anna. Maybe we should go home soon," Ben says. + +They hear a big boom. It is thunder. They see a flash. It is lightning. They are scared. They hold hands and run to the gate. + +But the gate is locked. They cannot get out. They shake the gate, but it does not open. They shake and cry. + +"Help, help, someone help us!" they shout. + +A man hears them. He is the park keeper. He has a key. He comes to the gate and opens it. + +"Are you OK, kids? You should not be here when there is a storm. Come with me, I will take you to a safe place," he says. + +He takes them to a small hut. He gives them blankets and cookies. He tells them stories until the storm is over. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They thank the man and hug him. They are not anxious anymore. They are brave. +Sara and Tom were cousins. They liked to play together at their aunt's house. Their aunt was nice and gave them toys and snacks. But sometimes Sara and Tom were naughty and did not listen to their aunt. + +One day, Sara had an idea. She said to Tom, "Let's go outside and see the ducks in the pond. Maybe we can feed them some bread." Tom nodded and followed Sara. They did not tell their aunt where they were going. They took some bread from the kitchen and sneaked out of the door. + +They walked to the pond and saw many ducks. They threw some bread to the ducks and watched them eat. They laughed and clapped their hands. They did not see the sign that said, "Do not feed the ducks. It is bad for them." + +Soon, their aunt came looking for them. She was worried and angry. She saw them by the pond and shouted, "Sara! Tom! What are you doing here? You should not feed the ducks. It is bad for them. And you should not leave the house without telling me. You could get lost or hurt. Come back here right now!" + +Sara and Tom felt sorry and scared. They ran back to their aunt and said, "We are sorry, aunt. We just wanted to see the ducks. We did not know it was bad for them. We will not do it again." Their aunt hugged them and said, "I am glad you are safe. But you were very naughty. You should always listen to me and follow the rules. I love you, but you need to learn to behave." Sara and Tom nodded and said, "We love you too, aunt. We will try to be good." Their aunt took them back to the house and gave them some water and cookies. She also explained to them why feeding the ducks was bad for them. Sara and Tom listened and learned. They decided to be more careful and respectful next time. +Lila and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big maze made of hay. It looked fun. + +"Let's go in the maze!" Lila said. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. The hay is dry and sharp. And we have to find the way out," Tom said. + +They went in the maze. They ran and turned and laughed. They saw many paths and walls. They did not see the exit. + +"Tom, I'm tired. And I'm thirsty. And I'm lost. Where are we?" Lila said. + +"I don't know, Lila. I can't see the sun. And I can't hear the birds. And I can't smell the flowers. We are in trouble," Tom said. + +They tried to find the way out. But they only found more hay. The hay was dry and sharp. It scratched their skin and clothes. It made them sneeze and cough. It made them cry. + +"Help! Help! Is anyone there?" Lila and Tom shouted. + +But no one heard them. No one came. They were alone in the maze. They were scared and sad. They wished they never went in the maze. They wished they stayed in the park. They wished they were home. But it was too late. +Lily and Ben were at the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They saw a big pool of water near the fountain. It looked cool and fun. + +"Can we go in the water, mom?" Lily asked. + +"No, sweetie, it's too cold and dirty. You might get sick," mom said. + +But Ben did not listen. He was a naughty and lazy boy. He did not like to follow the rules. He ran to the pool and jumped in. He tried to dive like a fish, but he only splashed and coughed. + +"Ben, come out of there right now!" mom shouted. + +Lily laughed at her brother. He looked silly and wet. She was a good and smart girl. She did not want to go in the water. She wanted something else. + +"Mom, can we have ice-cream?" she asked. + +"Yes, you can, honey. You deserve a treat. But Ben has to dry off first. And he has to say sorry for being bad," mom said. + +Ben came out of the pool. He was cold and sorry. He said sorry to mom and Lily. He wanted ice-cream too. + +"OK, let's go get some ice-cream. But next time, listen to me, OK?" mom said. + +They walked to the ice-cream truck. They chose their favorite flavors. Lily had strawberry, Ben had chocolate and mom had vanilla. They licked their ice-creams and smiled. They were happy and warm. They learned their lesson. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog was brown and had a long tail. It looked friendly. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked Tom. + +"OK, but be careful," Tom said. They walked to the dog and said hello. The dog wagged its tail and licked their hands. Tom and Lily smiled. + +"Can I kiss the dog?" Lily asked Tom. + +"Sure, why not?" Tom said. He kissed the dog on the nose. The dog licked his face. Lily kissed the dog on the ear. The dog growled. + +"Ow!" Lily cried. The dog bit her lip. It was bitter and hurt. Lily's lip bled. She ran to Tom and hugged him. Tom was scared and angry. + +"Bad dog! Go away!" Tom shouted. He threw a stick at the dog. The dog barked and chased them. Tom and Lily ran away. They looked for help. They saw a man in a blue shirt. He was a motion. He had a badge and a car. + +"Help us! Help us!" Tom and Lily yelled. The motion saw them and the dog. He blew a whistle and called for backup. He tried to catch the dog. The dog was fast and smart. It dodged the motion and ran to Tom and Lily. It jumped on them and knocked them down. It bit them again and again. Tom and Lily screamed and cried. They could not escape. The dog was too strong and mean. + +The motion and his friends came. They had guns and nets. They shot the dog and caught it. They put it in a cage. They checked on Tom and Lily. They were hurt and sad. They had many wounds and scars. They needed a doctor and a hug. They wished they never kissed the dog. The dog was bad. The end. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many toys in their room. But Tim wants more toys. He sees a big trunk in the hall. The trunk belongs to his big sister, Jen. Jen is popular. She has many friends and many things. + +Tim thinks, "I want to see what is in the trunk. Maybe there are more toys for me." He opens the trunk. He sees clothes, books, and a doll. He likes the doll. It has long hair and a pretty dress. He takes the doll and puts it in his pocket. He closes the trunk. + +Sam sees Tim. He asks, "What are you doing, Tim?" Tim says, "Nothing. Let's go play." Sam says, "OK." They go to their room. Tim hides the doll under his bed. + +Jen comes home. She wants to change her clothes. She goes to the hall. She opens the trunk. She looks for her doll. She can't find it. She says, "Where is my doll? Who took my doll?" She is angry. She goes to Tim and Sam's room. She sees the doll under Tim's bed. She says, "Tim, did you steal my doll?" + +Tim is scared. He says, "No, I didn't. I found it." Jen says, "That's a lie. That's my doll. You stole it from my trunk. Give it back to me." Tim says, "No, it's mine. I like it." Jen says, "No, it's not. It's mine. You are a bad brother. You are a thief." + +Jen takes the doll from Tim. Tim cries. Sam is sad. He says, "Tim, why did you steal Jen's doll? That's not nice. That's not what friends do." Tim says, "I'm sorry. I wanted more toys. I wanted to be popular like Jen." Sam says, "But stealing is wrong. You can't take things that are not yours. You have to ask first. And you have to share. That's what friends do." + +Tim feels sorry. He says, "You're right, Sam. I was wrong. I'm sorry, Jen. I'm sorry, Sam. Can you forgive me?" Jen says, "Maybe. But you have to promise not to steal again. And you have to say sorry to my doll." Tim says, "OK. I promise. I'm sorry, doll." He hugs the doll and gives it back to Jen. Jen says, "Thank you. You can play with my doll sometimes. But you have to ask first. And you have to be careful." Tim says, "OK. Thank you, Jen. You are a good sister." Jen says, "You're welcome. You can be a good brother too." She smiles. + +Tim and Sam hug. They say, "We are still friends." They go to play with their cars and trucks. They have fun. They are happy. +Sara liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and she made marks on paper. She drew flowers, animals, houses and people. She had her own style of drawing. She did not care if her marks were big or small, neat or messy. She just liked to make them. + +One day, she went to play with her friend Tom. Tom also liked to draw, but he had different crayons. He had only black and white and he made very thin marks. He drew cars, robots, rockets and stars. He had his own style of drawing. He cared a lot if his marks were straight or curved, smooth or rough. He wanted to make them perfect. + +Sara and Tom decided to draw together. They shared their paper and their crayons. Sara made colorful marks all over the paper. She drew a big flower, a happy cat, a cozy house and a smiling person. Tom made black and white marks on the same paper. He drew a fast car, a cool robot, a shiny rocket and a bright star. + +But when they looked at their drawing, they did not like it. Sara thought Tom's marks were ugly. She said, "Why did you make your marks so thin and boring? They ruin my drawing!" Tom thought Sara's marks were ugly. He said, "Why did you make your marks so big and messy? They ruin my drawing!" They started to argue and they did not want to play anymore. + +Then, their teacher came and saw their drawing. She smiled and said, "What a wonderful drawing! You have used so many colors and shapes. You have shown your different styles of drawing. You have made a beautiful picture together!" Sara and Tom looked at their drawing again. They saw that their marks were not ugly. They were different and interesting. They realized that they had been rude to each other. They said sorry and they hugged. They decided to draw more pictures together and to learn from each other's styles. They became good friends. +Lily and Sam went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Lily liked the swans. They had long necks and white feathers. She wanted to feed them some bread. + +"Can I go to the swans, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"OK, but be careful. Don't go too close. They might bite you," Mom said. + +Lily took some bread from Mom and walked to the pond. She saw a big swan swimming near the edge. She threw some bread to the swan. The swan ate the bread and came closer to Lily. + +"Hello, swan. You are pretty. Do you want more bread?" Lily said. + +The swan nodded and made a noise. Lily smiled and threw more bread. The swan ate the bread and followed Lily. Lily walked along the pond, and the swan walked with her. + +"Look, Mom. The swan likes me. He is my friend," Lily said. + +Sam saw Lily and the swan. He wanted to play with them too. He ran to the pond and shouted. + +"Hey, swan. Come here. I have bread too," Sam said. + +The swan heard Sam and turned around. He saw Sam running to him. He did not like Sam. He thought Sam was loud and rude. He hissed and flapped his wings. + +"Go away, Sam. The swan is my friend. He does not like you," Lily said. + +But Sam did not listen. He kept running to the swan. The swan got angry and bit Sam's hand. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow! The swan bit me. Mom, help!" Sam cried. + +Mom heard Sam and ran to him. She saw the swan biting Sam's hand. She pulled Sam away from the swan and hugged him. + +"Are you OK, Sam? Let me see your hand," Mom said. + +She looked at Sam's hand. It was red and sore. She took out a band-aid and put it on Sam's hand. + +"There, there. It will be OK. The swan did not mean to hurt you. He was just scared of you. You should not run and shout at the swans. They are wild animals. You have to be gentle and quiet with them," Mom said. + +Sam nodded and sniffed. He was sorry for being loud and rude. He looked at Lily and the swan. Lily was still feeding the swan. The swan was calm and happy. + +"Can I say sorry to the swan, Mom?" Sam asked. + +"OK, but be careful. Don't go too close. And don't throw bread. Just say sorry and stay away," Mom said. + +Sam walked to the pond. He saw the swan looking at him. He stopped and said. + +"Sorry, swan. I did not mean to scare you. You are pretty. Can we be friends?" Sam said. + +The swan heard Sam and nodded. He made a noise. He forgave Sam. He did not bite him again. + +Lily smiled and said. + +"See, Sam. The swan is nice. He just wants to be treated well. Now we can all be friends," Lily said. + +Mom smiled too and said. + +"Good job, kids. You learned how to be kind to the swans. Now let's go home. It's getting late. Are you ready?" Mom said. + +Lily and Sam nodded and said. + +"Yes, Mom. We are ready. Bye, swan. Thank you for the bread. We will come back soon," Lily and Sam said. + +They waved to the swan and followed Mom. The swan waved back and swam away. He was happy to have new friends. He hoped to see them again. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big pile of junk near the swings. They want to see what is in the junk. + +"Look, a bottle!" Tom says. He picks up the bottle. It is green and has a label. He cannot read the label. He opens the bottle and smells it. It smells bad. + +"Yuck, do not drink that!" Sue says. She knows that some junk is not good for you. She remembers what her mom told her. "That is not juice, that is poison. It can make you sick." + +Tom listens to Sue. He trusts her. She is dependable. He puts the bottle back in the junk. He says, "Thank you, Sue. You are a good friend. You saved me from the poison." + +Sue smiles. She is happy that Tom is safe. She says, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. Let's go play on the swings." + +They run to the swings. They have fun. They forget about the junk. They are glad they have each other. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. But they did not like to share. Tom wanted to swing on the blue swing, but Lily was already on it. Lily wanted to slide on the yellow slide, but Tom was already on it. + +"Get off the swing, Lily!" Tom shouted. "It is my turn!" + +"No, Tom!" Lily shouted back. "I was here first!" + +They both were stubborn. They did not want to listen to each other. They started to pull and push each other. Then Tom pinched Lily on her arm. Lily cried out loud. + +"Ow, Tom! That hurts!" Lily said. "You are mean!" + +Tom felt bad. He did not want to hurt Lily. He was just angry. He said sorry to Lily. + +"I am sorry, Lily. I did not mean to pinch you. Can we be friends again?" Tom said. + +Lily rubbed her arm. She was still sad. But she did not want to be mad at Tom. She said sorry to Tom. + +"I am sorry, Tom. I did not mean to yell at you. Can we share the swing and the slide?" Lily said. + +Tom and Lily smiled at each other. They hugged and made up. They decided to take turns on the swing and the slide. They had fun together. They learned to be nice and fair. They were happy in the park. The park was a good land to play. +Tom and Ann are friends. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a big pot under a bush. It is shiny and heavy. + +"Wow, look at this pot!" Tom says. "Maybe it has something inside." + +They try to lift the pot, but it is too hard. They push and pull, but it does not move. They are sad. + +"Maybe we can ask for help," Ann says. "Maybe dad can lift it." + +They run to the house and find dad. They tell him about the pot. Dad follows them to the garden. + +He sees the pot and smiles. He lifts it with his strong arms. He shakes it and hears a sound. + +"Let's see what's inside," he says. He opens the pot and gasps. + +Inside the pot, there are many coins. They are gold and silver and shiny. They sparkle in the sun. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" dad says. "This pot is very old and very rich. Someone must have hidden it here long ago. You are very lucky to find it." + +Tom and Ann are happy. They hug dad and thank him. They look at the coins and wonder what they can do with them. + +They decide to share them with their family and friends. They also decide to keep the pot as a treasure. They are very happy and proud. They manage to find a rich pot. +Lily and Ben were very excite to go to church with their mom and dad. They put on their lovely clothes and got in the car. Mom said they would sing songs and hear stories at church. + +When they got to church, they saw many people they knew. They said hello and gave hugs. Lily and Ben liked to see their friends and teachers. They went to a big room with chairs and a stage. Mom and dad sat with them and held their hands. + +The music started and everyone sang. Lily and Ben sang too. They liked the songs. They were happy and loud. Then a man came on the stage and talked. He told a story about a man who loved everyone and did good things. Lily and Ben listened. They liked the story. They learned something new. + +After the story, the man said a prayer and everyone said amen. Then they got up and left the big room. Lily and Ben went to another room with their teachers and friends. They played games and made crafts. They had fun and learned more. + +Lily and Ben were very happy. They liked church.

They said church was lovely. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play and watch movies. One day, Tom calls Anna on the phone. + +"Hi, Anna. Do you want to watch a movie with me?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, Tom. What movie do you want to watch?" Anna replies. + +"I want to watch the movie with the big dinosaurs. They roar and run and bite. It is fun and scary." Tom says. + +"OK, Tom. I like that movie too. But it is very long. Do you have time?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, Anna. I have time. My mom and dad are not home. They went to the store. They said I can watch one movie. But I have to be good and not make a mess." Tom says. + +"OK, Tom. I will come to your house. But we have to be quiet and not scare your cat. She does not like loud noises." Anna says. + +"OK, Anna. See you soon. Bye." Tom says. + +Anna puts on her shoes and coat. She walks to Tom's house. It is not far. She rings the doorbell. Tom opens the door. He is happy to see Anna. He has the movie ready.

They fit on the couch. They are good friends. +Tom was very tired. He had played all day with his toys and his friends. He wanted to go to bed, but his mom said he had to wait for his dad. His dad worked late and came home after dark. + +Tom sat on the couch with his mom and watched some cartoons. He yawned a lot. He rubbed his eyes. He cuddled with his mom. He saw his mom drink from a big mug. The mug had hot tea inside. Tom liked tea, but he was not allowed to drink it at night. + +"Mom, can I have some tea?" he asked. + +"No, sweetie, tea is for grown-ups. It has caffeine. It makes you stay awake. You need to sleep soon," his mom said. + +"But I'm not sleepy," Tom lied. He yawned again. + +His mom smiled and kissed his head. "Yes, you are. You can have some water or milk if you want." + +Tom shook his head. He wanted tea. He thought tea was yummy and warm. He wanted to be like his mom and dad. He wanted to be a grown-up. + +He waited until his mom looked away. He reached for the mug. He grabbed it with both hands. He lifted it to his mouth. He took a sip. + +"Ow!" he cried. He dropped the mug. The tea was very hot. It burned his tongue. He felt tears in his eyes. + +His mom heard him and turned around. She saw the mug on the floor. She saw the tea spilled on the carpet. She saw Tom's face. She was not happy. + +"Tom, what did you do?" she asked. She sounded serious. She sounded angry. + +Tom was scared. He wanted to say sorry. He wanted to hug his mom. But his tongue hurt. He could not talk. He whimpered. + +His mom sighed. She got up and got a towel. She cleaned the mess. She picked up the mug. She checked if it was broken. It was not. She was glad. + +She went back to the couch. She sat next to Tom. She took him in her arms. She looked at his tongue. It was red. She felt sorry for him. + +"Tom, you should not touch my mug. You could have hurt yourself. You could have broken the mug. You could have made a bigger mess. You know you are not supposed to drink tea at night. Why did you do that?" she asked. + +Tom sniffed. He looked at his mom. He saw her eyes. They were not angry anymore. They were sad. He felt bad. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to be a grown-up. I wanted to drink tea like you and dad. I didn't know it was so hot. I didn't mean to make a mess. I love you, mom," he said. + +His mom smiled. She kissed his tongue. She hugged him tight. She loved him too. + +"I know, sweetie. I know you want to be a grown-up. But you are still a little boy. You have to be careful. You have to listen to me. You have to do what is good for you. You have plenty of time to grow up. You don't have to rush. You are perfect the way you are," she said. + +Tom nodded. He felt better. He yawned again. He was sleepy. He wanted to go to bed. + +His mom saw him yawn. She turned off the TV. She got a blanket. She wrapped him in it. She carried him to his room. She tucked him in. She sang him a lullaby. + +Tom closed his eyes. He smiled. He was happy. He was a little boy. He was a good boy. He had a good mom. He had a good dad. He had a good life. + +He fell asleep. He dreamed of tea. He dreamed of grown-ups. He dreamed of love. +Tom and Lily are playing with their toys. Tom has a toy train and Lily has a toy phone. They like to make noises and pretend they are going somewhere. + +"Choo choo! My train is fast and strong!" Tom says. + +"Ring ring! My phone is smart and fun!" Lily says. + +They play for a while, then they see a switch on the wall. They wonder what it does. + +"Let's try it!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Lily says. + +They run to the switch and Tom reaches up to turn it. He flips it up and down, up and down. The lights in the room go on and off, on and off. + +"Wow! We can make the lights change!" Tom says. + +"That's cool!" Lily says. + +They laugh and flip the switch some more. They think they are very clever. + +But then they hear a voice from the kitchen. + +"Hey, what are you doing with the switch?" It is Mom. She sounds angry. + +Tom and Lily stop flipping the switch. They look at each other. They feel scared. + +"Sorry, Mom!" Tom says. + +"We were just playing!" Lily says. + +Mom comes into the room. She sees the toys and the switch. She is not happy. + +"You should not play with the switch. It is not a toy. It is for the lights. You could hurt yourself or break something. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +Tom and Lily nod. They understand. They did something bad. + +"Say sorry to Mom," Mom says. + +"Sorry, Mom," Tom and Lily say. + +Mom hugs them. She is not angry anymore. She loves them. + +"I know you were curious, but you have to be careful. There are other things you can play with. Like your toys. Or you can number your fingers. Or you can draw a picture. Do you want to do that?" Mom says. + +Tom and Lily nod. They want to do that. They like to number their fingers. They can count to ten. They like to draw pictures. They can make shapes and colors. + +"OK, let's do that. And next time, ask me before you touch the switch. OK?" Mom says. + +"OK, Mom," Tom and Lily say. + +They go to the table and get some paper and crayons. They start to number their fingers and draw pictures. They are proud of what they can do. They show Mom their work. Mom smiles and praises them. They are happy. They love Mom. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. They heard a loud noise outside. It was the wind. It was blowing very hard and making things fly. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"It is a hurricane," Max said. He learned that word from his dad. "It is a big storm that spins and spins." + +Lily looked scared. She hugged her teddy bear. "Will it hurt us?" she asked. + +Max shook his head. "No, it will not. We are safe inside. Dad said so. He said the hurricane will go away soon." + +They heard another noise. It was their mom. She came into the living room. She looked tired. She had a big yawn. + +"Hi, kids. Are you okay?" she asked. + +"Yes, mom. We are okay. We are playing," Lily said. + +"We are not scared of the hurricane," Max said. + +Mom smiled. She gave them a hug. "That's good. You are very brave. The hurricane is almost over. It is getting quieter outside. Do you want to read a book with me?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They liked books. They followed mom to the couch. She picked a book from the shelf. It was a book about animals. They saw pictures of lions, monkeys, elephants, and more. + +"Look, mom. That animal is weird," Max said. He pointed to a picture of a giraffe. "It has a very long neck." + +Mom laughed. "That's a giraffe. It is not weird. It is special. It uses its long neck to reach the leaves on the trees." + +Lily and Max learned more about the animals. They asked mom many questions. They forgot about the hurricane. They felt happy and cozy. They had another big yawn. They were sleepy. Mom closed the book. She tucked them in. She kissed them good night. + +"Sleep well, my loves. I love you very much," she said. + +"We love you too, mom," Lily and Max said. + +They closed their eyes. They dreamed of weird and wonderful animals. They did not hear the hurricane anymore. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big pack of gum on a bench. They are very happy. They each take a piece and start to chew. + +"Look, I can make a big bubble!" Tom says. He blows hard and his gum grows bigger and bigger. + +"Wow, that's cool!" Sam says. He tries to do the same, but his gum is broken. It does not blow. It only makes a funny noise. + +"Ha ha, your gum is bad!" Tom laughs. He blows his bubble even bigger. + +Sam feels sad and angry. He wants to have a big bubble too. He thinks of a plan. He runs to Tom and jumps on his bubble. Pop! The gum bursts and sticks to Tom's face and hair. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Tom shouts. He tries to pull the gum off, but it is very sticky. + +Sam laughs. He thinks he is very clever. But then he sees a man coming. It is the man who left the pack of gum on the bench. He looks very angry too. + +"Who took my gum?" he asks. "Who made this mess?" + +Tom and Sam are scared. They run away from the park. They learn a lesson. They should not take things that are not theirs. And they should not be mean to each other. +Tim and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were cars, animals, or superheroes. They did not see the man who was sitting on the couch and reading a book. The man was their uncle, and he was very impatient. He did not like noises or children. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm a fast car!" Tim said, zooming his toy car around the carpet. + +"Roar, roar, I'm a big lion!" Mia said, crawling on her hands and knees and waving her stuffed lion. + +The man frowned and put his book down. He did not want to hear vroom or roar. He wanted to read his book and be quiet. + +"Shut up, you two!" he shouted. "You are too loud and annoying. Go play somewhere else!" + +Tim and Mia stopped playing and looked at the man. They felt scared and sad. They did not like the man. He was mean and rude. + +"Sorry, uncle," Tim said in a small voice. + +"We were just having fun," Mia said, wiping a tear from her eye. + +The man did not say anything. He picked up his book and went to his room. He slammed the door behind him. + +Tim and Mia hugged each other. They did not want to play anymore. They wanted their mom and dad to come home. They did not like the man. They hoped he would leave soon. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big cherry tree. It has many red cherries. They want to pick some cherries. + +They run to the tree and climb up. They reach for the cherries. But they are too high. They stretch and jump. But they cannot get them. + +"Stop!" says a voice. It is Mom. She is angry. "You are not allowed to climb the tree. It is dangerous. You can fall and hurt yourself. Come down now!" + +Sara and Ben are scared. They do not want to make Mom angry. They do not want to fall and hurt themselves. They climb down slowly. They are sad. They do not have any cherries. + +Mom hugs them. She is not angry anymore. She is sorry. She says, "I know you want some cherries. But you have to be careful. The tree is too big for you. I have a surprise for you. Come with me." + +She takes them to the kitchen. She shows them a big bowl. It is full of cherries. She says, "I picked some cherries for you this morning. They are sweet and juicy. You can have as many as you want. You are lucky.

They hug Mom. They love Mom. They love cherries. +Anna and Ben liked to play with their toy boats. They made them from paper and sticks and painted them with different colors. They were very original boats, not like the ones in the shop. + +One day, they went to the field near their house. There was a big pond there, with ducks and frogs. Anna and Ben wanted to sail their boats on the pond and see how fast they could go. + +They put their boats on the water and blew on them. The boats moved slowly, but they were happy. They pretended they were pirates and explorers, and made funny noises. + +"Look, my boat is faster than yours!" Ben said to Anna. + +"No, mine is faster!" Anna said back. + +They laughed and chased their boats with their hands. + +But then, a big wind came. It blew very hard and made the water splash. Anna and Ben's boats were lifted by the wind and flew away. They could not catch them. + +They watched as their boats flew over the field and disappeared. They felt very sad and angry. They had lost their original boats, and they could not make new ones. + +They cried and hugged each other. They wished they had not gone to the pond. They wished they had stayed at home and played with their toys. They learned that sailing was not always fun. +Sam and Tom are friends. They like to play chess. Chess is a game with black and white pieces. You move the pieces on a board with squares. You try to catch the king of the other color. + +One day, Sam and Tom go to the park to play chess. They find a table with an open chess board. They sit down and start to play. Sam is black and Tom is white. + +"Your turn, Tom," Sam says. + +Tom thinks hard. He wants to win. He moves his queen. He says, "Check!" + +Sam looks at the board. He is in trouble. He does not know what to do. He sees a bird in the sky. He says, "Look, Tom, a bird!" + +Tom looks up. He likes birds. He says, "Wow, a big bird!" + +Sam smiles. He delays. He moves his king out of check. He says, "Your turn, Tom." + +Tom looks at the board. He is angry. He says, "You cheated, Sam! You moved when I was not looking!" + +Sam says, "No, I did not cheat, Tom! You looked at the bird!" + +Tom says, "You lied, Sam! You made me look at the bird!" + +Sam and Tom start to yell. They push each other. They knock over the chess board. The pieces fall on the ground. + +A man comes to the table. He is the owner of the chess board. He is mad. He says, "Hey, you kids! What are you doing? You broke my chess board! You owe me money!" + +Sam and Tom are scared. They run away. They lose their friend. They lose the game. They lose the fun. They are sad. +Lily loved to play with her stuffed animals. She had a big bear, a soft bunny, a funny monkey and an adorable chicken. The chicken was her favorite. She liked to hug it, kiss it and pretend to feed it. + +One day, Lily was playing with her chicken in the living room. She put a plate of pretend food in front of it and said, "Here you go, chicken. Eat your yummy corn and carrots. They are good for you." + +But the chicken did not eat. It just looked at Lily with its button eyes. Lily was puzzled. She picked up the chicken and brought it closer to her face. "What's wrong, chicken? Don't you like your food?" + +The chicken did not answer. It opened its beak and bit Lily's nose. Lily screamed and dropped the chicken. It landed on the floor with a thud. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. "Bad chicken! Why did you bite me?" + +Mommy heard Lily's cry and ran to the living room. She saw Lily holding her nose and the chicken lying on the floor. She picked up Lily and hugged her. + +"What happened, sweetie?" Mommy asked. + +"Mommy, the chicken bit me!" Lily sobbed. "It hurt me!" + +Mommy looked at the chicken. It was still adorable, but it had a naughty smile on its beak. Mommy realized that the chicken was not a real chicken, but a toy chicken that made noises when you squeezed it. She guessed that Lily had squeezed it too hard and triggered the bite sound. + +"Sweetie, the chicken did not really bite you. It was just a toy sound. See?" Mommy said. She squeezed the chicken gently and it made a cluck sound. "It's just a silly chicken. It did not mean to hurt you." + +Lily looked at the chicken and then at Mommy. She sniffed and wiped her tears. She felt better. She smiled and said, "Oh, I see. It's just a silly chicken. I'm sorry, chicken. I did not mean to squeeze you." + +She reached for the chicken and hugged it again. The chicken made a happy sound. Lily giggled and said, "I love you, chicken. You are still adorable." + +Mommy smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are adorable too." She kissed Lily's nose and said, "Now, let's go and have some real food. How about some chicken nuggets?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. But not this chicken. This chicken is my friend." + +Mommy laughed and said, "Of course not. This chicken is your friend. Come on, let's go to the kitchen." + +They left the living room, holding hands and the chicken. They were happy. The end. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big jeep that their dad gave them. The jeep was expensive, but dad said they could share it and have fun. + +One day, they decided to drive the jeep around the yard. They pretended they were going on an adventure in the jungle. They saw birds, flowers, and bugs. They made noises like lions and monkeys. They had a lot of fun. + +But soon, they got tired and thirsty. They parked the jeep under a tree and got out. They found a bottle of water and some cookies in the jeep. They sat on the grass and ate their snack. + +"Wow, that was a great adventure," Tom said. "But I'm sleepy now. Can we rest for a while?" + +"Me too," Lily said. "Let's rest here. The jeep can rest too. It worked hard today." + +They lay down on the grass and closed their eyes. They felt the sun on their faces and the breeze on their skin. They smiled and hugged each other. They fell asleep, dreaming of more adventures with their jeep. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Anna has a scooter. Ben does not have a scooter. He wants to use Anna's scooter. + +"Can I use your scooter, Anna?" Ben asks. + +"No, it is mine. You have to wait your turn," Anna says. + +"But I want to use it now. Please, Anna, please," Ben begs. + +Anna shakes her head. She rides her scooter fast. Ben runs after her. He is angry. + +They reach the big hill. Anna stops. She is scared. The hill is steep and high. She does not want to go down. + +"Ha, ha, you are scared, Anna. You are a baby," Ben says. He grabs the scooter from Anna. He gets on it. He is not scared. He is brave. + +He pushes the scooter down the hill. He goes faster and faster. He feels the wind in his hair. He laughs. + +But then he sees a big rock. He tries to stop. He cannot. He hits the rock. He falls off the scooter. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Anna runs to him. She sees the blood. She feels sorry for him. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" she asks. + +"No, I am not okay. I am hurt. And your scooter is broken," he says. + +He looks at the scooter. The wheel is bent. The handle is loose. He is sad. + +"I am sorry, Anna. I should not have taken your scooter. I was wrong," he says. + +Anna hugs him. She is not angry. She is kind. + +"It is okay, Ben. I forgive you. We can fix the scooter. And we can share it. Next time, you can use it first," she says. + +They smile. They are friends again. They walk to the nurse. She puts a band-aid on Ben's knee. She gives them a lollipop. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to pretend they were drivers and passengers, and they made noises like honking and braking. Sometimes they also ordered food from the toy phone, like pizza or ice cream. + +One day, they found a shiny sticker in a magazine. It had a picture of a star with many colors. Lily and Ben thought it was a symbol of something powerful and magical. They decided to stick it on one of their toy cars, and see what would happen. + +"Let's order some cake from the phone, and see if the car can bring it to us," Lily said. + +"Okay, let's try it," Ben agreed. He picked up the phone and said, "Hello, we want some cake, please. Chocolate cake with sprinkles. Thank you, bye." + +They waited for a few minutes, but nothing happened. The car with the sticker did not move or make any sound. + +"Maybe we need to say a magic word," Lily suggested. + +"Like what?" Ben asked. + +"Like... abracadabra!" Lily said. + +They both said "abracadabra" and pointed at the car. Suddenly, the car started to beep and flash. It rolled across the floor and stopped in front of them. On top of the car, there was a small plate with a slice of cake. + +"Wow, it worked!" Lily exclaimed. + +"Yummy, cake!" Ben said. + +They both took a bite of the cake and smiled. They thought the sticker was the most powerful symbol ever. They wondered what else they could order with it. +Lila and Ben were camping with their dad in the woods. They had a tent, a fire and some marshmallows. They liked camping, but it was very cold at night. + +"Dad, I'm shivering," Lila said. "Can we have more fire?" + +"Sorry, sweetie, we don't have more fuel. We used all the wood we found. We have to stay in the tent and use our blankets," Dad said. + +"But I'm not sleepy," Ben said. "Can we tell stories?" + +"Okay, we can tell stories for a little while. But then we have to sleep, okay?" Dad said. + +They crawled into the tent and zipped it up. Dad told them a story about a brave knight and a friendly dragon. Lila and Ben listened and smiled. They liked stories. + +Soon, they felt warmer and sleepier. They yawned and cuddled with Dad. + +"Good night, Dad," Lila said. + +"Good night, Lila. Good night, Ben," Dad said. + +"Good night, Dad. Good night, Lila," Ben said. + +They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of fire and marshmallows and dragons. They were happy. +Tim and Sam are two birds who like to fly in the sky. They have big wings and small beaks. They are friends and they play together every day. + +One day, they see a big shiny thing on the ground. It looks like a ball, but it is not a ball. It is hard and cold and has a hole in it. Tim and Sam are curious and want to see what it is. + +They fly down to the shiny thing and land on it. They peck at it with their beaks, but it does not make any sound. They think it is boring and want to fly away. + +But they cannot fly away. Their wings are stuck to the shiny thing. They try to pull and flap, but they cannot move. They are scared and cry for help. + +The shiny thing is a trap. It has glue on it that makes the wings stick. A bad man made the trap to catch birds. He hears the birds cry and comes to get them. He has a big bag and a big stick. He puts the birds in the bag and hits them with the stick. He is very bad and does not care about the birds. + +Tim and Sam are hurt and sad. They wish they never saw the shiny thing. They wish they could fly in the sky again. But they cannot. They are in the bag and they cannot get out. They are going to die. The end. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play on the farm. They liked to watch the sheep and the cows and the pigs. Sometimes they pretended to be farmers and gave the animals names. + +One day, they saw a new sheep in the field. It was big and white and had a bell around its neck. Lily and Ben ran to see it. + +"Hello, sheep!" Lily said. "What is your name?" + +The sheep looked at Lily and said, "Baa!" + +Lily and Ben laughed. They thought the sheep was funny. + +"Can we play with you, sheep?" Ben asked. + +The sheep looked at Ben and said, "Baa!" + +Lily and Ben smiled. They thought the sheep was friendly. + +They started to run around the field with the sheep, chasing each other and having fun. But soon, they noticed that the sheep was very bossy. It always wanted to be the leader and tell them what to do. + +"Follow me, follow me!" the sheep said. "Baa!" + +"No, let's go this way!" Lily said. "I want to see the flowers." + +"No, let's go that way!" Ben said. "I want to see the pond." + +The sheep did not listen to Lily and Ben. It kept saying, "Baa, baa, baa!" and tried to make them follow it. + +Lily and Ben did not like that. They stopped running and looked at each other. + +"This sheep is too bossy," Lily said. + +"Yes, it is," Ben agreed. + +They decided to discuss what to do. They whispered to each other and made a plan. + +They turned to the sheep and said, "We have an idea, sheep. Why don't you play with the other sheep? They might like to follow you." + +The sheep looked at them and said, "Baa?" + +"Yes, go on, sheep. Have fun with the other sheep. We will play with the cows and the pigs. They are more nice and fun." + +The sheep thought for a moment. Then it nodded and said, "Baa!" + +It ran to join the other sheep in the field. Lily and Ben waved goodbye to it. + +They went to play with the cows and the pigs. They were happy and had a lot of fun. They learned that it is not good to be too bossy. They liked to share and take turns and be kind. They were good friends. +Sam likes to watch cartoons on TV. He likes the funny animals and the bright colors. He laughs when they do silly things. But his sister Lily does not like cartoons. She likes to play with her dolls and dress them up. She thinks cartoons are noisy and boring. + +One day, Sam and Lily have to share the TV. Their mom says they have to take turns. Sam gets to watch cartoons first, and Lily has to wait. Lily is not happy. She wants to play with her dolls. She does not want to watch cartoons. She thinks of a way to make Sam stop watching. + +She sneaks behind the couch where Sam is sitting. She waits for a moment when Sam is very focused on the TV. Then she reaches out and pinches his arm hard. Sam yelps and jumps. He drops the remote. Lily grabs it and changes the channel. She smiles and says, "Now it's my turn!" + +Sam is angry and hurt. He feels a sting on his arm where Lily pinched him. He does not think it is fair. He wants to watch cartoons. He does not want to watch dolls. He thinks of a way to get the remote back. + +He runs to the kitchen where his mom is making lunch. He tells her what Lily did. He shows her his arm. He says, "Lily pinched me and took the remote. She is mean. Can I have the remote back?" + +Mom looks at Sam and Lily. She sees the red mark on Sam's arm. She sees the smug look on Lily's face. She is not happy. She says, "Lily, that was not nice. You should not pinch your brother. You should share the TV. Give the remote back to Sam. And say you are sorry." + +Lily pouts and whines. She does not want to give the remote back. She does not want to say sorry. But she knows mom is serious. She knows mom can give her a big timeout. She does not want that. She gives the remote back to Sam. She says, "Sorry." + +Sam takes the remote and smiles. He changes the channel back to cartoons. He says, "Thank you." He sits on the couch and watches the funny animals and the bright colors. He laughs when they do silly things. He is happy. He forgets about the pinch. He thinks cartoons are the best. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were lions and roar at each other. They also liked to make a mess with the dishes and pots. + +"Roar! I am a big lion and I am hungry!" Lily said, grabbing a dish from the sink. + +"Roar! I am a bigger lion and I want that dish!" Tom said, running after her. + +They chased each other around the table, knocking over chairs and spoons. They laughed and roared louder and louder. + +"Stop! Stop!" Mom said, coming into the kitchen. She saw the mess and frowned. "What are you doing, Lily and Tom? You are not lions, you are children. And you are not playing, you are making a big noise and a big mess. Put the dish back and clean up, now!" + +Lily and Tom stopped and looked at Mom. They felt sorry for making her angry. They put the dish back and picked up the chairs and spoons. They said sorry to Mom and gave her a hug. + +"Thank you, Lily and Tom. I love you, but please don't roar and play with the dishes again. How about we read a story instead?" Mom said, smiling. + +"Okay, Mom. We love you too. Can we read a story about lions?" Lily and Tom said, nodding. + +"Sure, why not. Let's go to the living room and find a book." Mom said, holding their hands. + +They went to the living room and found a book about lions. Mom read the story to them and they listened. They learned that lions are big and strong and roar, but they also live in families and take care of each other. They liked the story and felt happy. They decided to be lions again, but only in their imagination. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with red fruits on it. They wanted to try the fruits, but they did not know what they were. + +"Let's pick some fruits and eat them," Ben said. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe they are not good for us," Lily said. + +Ben shrugged. He did not care. He was hungry and curious. He climbed the tree and picked a fruit. He bit into it and made a face. + +"Yuck! This fruit is sour and bitter. It hurts my mouth," he said. + +Lily felt sorry for him. She was polite and wanted to help. She climbed the tree and picked another fruit. She hoped it would be sweet and juicy. She gave it to Ben. + +"Here, Ben. Try this one. Maybe it is better," she said. + +Ben took the fruit and thanked Lily. He bit into it and smiled. + +"Mmm, this fruit is good. It is sweet and soft. It makes my mouth happy," he said. + +Lily was glad. She wanted to taste the fruit too. She picked one for herself and bit into it. But she did not smile. She screamed. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow! This fruit is bad. It is hot and spicy. It burns my mouth," she said. + +Ben looked at her and saw her tongue was red and swollen. He felt bad. He did not know what to do. He tried to give her some water, but it did not help. Lily cried and cried. + +A man heard them and came to see what was wrong. He saw the fruits and shook his head. + +"Those are not fruits. Those are peppers. They are not for eating. They are for cooking. You should not pick them. They can make you sick," he said. + +He took Ben and Lily to a doctor. The doctor gave them some medicine and told them to rest. He said they would be fine, but they had to be careful. + +Ben and Lily learned a lesson. They never picked peppers again. They were not friends anymore. They were mad at each other. They blamed each other for their pain. They did not play in the park anymore. They did not have fun anymore. They had a bad ending. +Ben and Mia are playing in the park. They like to dig in the sand and make shapes with their hands. They see a big pile of sand and run to it. + +"Look, Ben, I can make a castle!" Mia says. She kneels down and starts to pat the sand. + +"Wow, Mia, that's a good castle!" Ben says. He kneels down too and makes a wall around the castle. "Now we need a flag." + +They look around and see a stick and a piece of paper. Ben picks them up and puts them together. He writes a number on the paper with a crayon. "This is our flag. It has the number four, because we are four years old." + +He sticks the flag on top of the castle. They smile and clap their hands. + +"Ben, Mia, time to go home!" They hear their mom calling. They get up and run to her. + +"Mom, look at our castle! It has a flag with the number four!" Mia says. + +"That's very nice, sweeties. But you are filthy! Look at your clothes and hands. They are full of sand and dirt. You need a bath." Mom says. + +She takes them to the car and drives them home. They have a bath and wash off the sand and dirt. They put on clean clothes and have a snack. They tell mom about their castle and their flag. Mom hugs them and says they are very clever. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are twins. They share a room and a lamp. The lamp is yellow and has a star on it. Tom and Lily like the lamp. It makes them feel safe at night. + +One night, Tom and Lily are in bed. They hear a noise outside. It sounds like a big dog. Tom is scared. He wants to turn on the lamp. He reaches for the switch. + +"No, Tom!" Lily says. "Don't turn on the lamp. The dog will see us. We have to be quiet and listen." + +"But I'm scared, Lily," Tom says. "The lamp will make me feel better. It is sweet and bright. Please, Lily, let me turn on the lamp." + +Lily shakes her head. She holds Tom's hand. "Trust me, Tom," she says. "The dog will go away soon. We have to listen and wait. The lamp will be there in the morning." + +Tom and Lily listen. They hear the dog bark and growl. They hear it run and scratch. They hear it sniff and snort. They are very scared. They hug each other and close their eyes. + +After a while, the noise stops. Tom and Lily open their eyes. They see the moon and the stars. They see the lamp. It is still yellow and has a star on it. + +"See, Tom?" Lily says. "The dog is gone. We are safe. The lamp is still here. We can turn it on now." + +Tom smiles. He turns on the lamp. It is sweet and bright. He and Lily feel better. They say good night to each other and to the lamp. They fall asleep. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the garden. They see a lot of ants on the ground. The ants are busy and fast. + +Tom wants to watch the ants. He thinks they are funny and smart. He lies down on the grass and looks at them. Lily wants to play with the ants. She thinks they are cute and friendly. She picks up a stick and pokes them. + +The ants do not like Lily's stick. They get angry and bite her. Lily cries and drops the stick. Tom gets mad at Lily. He says she is mean and silly. He tells her to leave the ants alone. + +Tom and Lily start to quarrel. They shout and push each other. They do not listen and do not share. They make a lot of noise and mess. + +Mum hears them and comes to the garden. She sees them fighting and the ants running away. She is not happy. She tells them to stop and calm down. She says they are both wrong and sorry. She says they should be kind and gentle to the ants and to each other. + +Tom and Lily feel bad. They say sorry to Mum and to the ants. They hug and make up. They decide to watch the ants together. They learn a lot from them. They see how the ants work and help each other. They see how the ants carry light things and heavy things. They see how the ants make a home and a hill. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They enjoy the garden and the ants. They do not quarrel anymore. They are good twins. +Lily and Tom are playing in the garden. They like to run and jump and laugh. They see a tall tap near the fence. The tap has a shiny knob and a long hose. + +"Let's play with the tap!" Tom says. He runs to the tap and turns the knob. Water comes out of the hose and makes a big splash. + +"Wow!" Lily says. She runs to the hose and holds it. She sprays water on the grass and the flowers and the fence. She giggles and says, "This is fun!" + +But then, Lily sprays water on Tom by mistake. Tom gets wet and cold. He drops the knob and the water stops. He is not happy. He says, "Lily, why did you do that? You made me wet!" + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to. It was an accident." Lily says. She feels bad. She wants to make Tom happy again. + +She sees a towel on the chair. She runs to the towel and brings it to Tom. She says, "Here, Tom. You can use this towel to wipe yourself. It is soft and warm." + +Tom takes the towel and wipes his face and his hair and his clothes. He feels better. He smiles and says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend." + +Lily smiles too. She says, "You're welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too." + +They hug and say, "We are sorry. We are friends." + +They go back to playing in the garden. They are careful not to spray water on each other. They have fun. +Anna and Ben are twins who like to help their mom bake cakes. One day, their mom asks them to deliver a cake to their grandma, who lives next door. She gives them a big box with the cake inside and tells them to be careful and not drop it. + +Anna and Ben are very excited to see their grandma and to give her the cake. They hold the box together and walk to her house. On the way, they see a playful puppy who runs towards them and barks. The puppy wants to play with them and jumps on the box. + +"Go away, puppy!" Anna says. "This is not a toy, this is a cake for grandma!" + +But the puppy does not listen and keeps jumping. Ben tries to push the puppy away, but he is too strong. The box falls to the ground and the cake comes out. The puppy sees the cake and licks it. He likes the sugar on top. + +"Oh no!" Ben cries. "The cake is ruined! What will we do?" + +Anna and Ben are very sad and scared. They do not want to make their mom and grandma angry. They pick up the box and the cake and run back to their house. They tell their mom what happened and show her the cake. + +Their mom is not angry, but she is disappointed. She hugs them and says, "I know you wanted to help me, but you should have been more careful. The puppy was playful, but he did not know any better. You should have avoided him or told someone to help you. Now we have no cake for grandma and she will be sad too." + +Anna and Ben feel sorry and say, "We are sorry, mom. We did not mean to ruin the cake. We love you and grandma. Can we make another cake for her?" + +Their mom smiles and says, "Of course we can. But this time, we will do it together and we will be more careful. And we will also give the puppy some treats, so he will not bother us again. He is a good puppy, he just needs some training." + +Anna and Ben are happy and hug their mom. They learn that they should be careful when they deliver something, and that they should be kind to animals, even if they are playful. They make a new cake for their grandma and deliver it to her. She is very happy and thanks them. She also gives them some cookies and milk. They all enjoy the cake and the cookies and have a nice time together. +Lily liked to wear her pink skirt. It was her favorite skirt. It had flowers and ribbons on it. She wore it every day, even when it was cold. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide. She wanted to go on the slide. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She did not listen to her mom, who said, "Lily, wait for me. It is cold. You need your coat." + +Lily sat on the slide and said, "Whee!" She slid down fast. She felt the wind on her face. She felt happy. But then, she felt something else. She felt a sharp pain in her leg. She looked down and saw blood. She had cut her leg on a metal edge of the slide. It was a big cut. It hurt a lot. + +Lily cried. She cried loud. She wanted her mom. She wanted her coat. She wanted to go home. She said, "Mommy, please, please, help me. I am cold. I am hurt. I am sorry." + +Her mom ran to her and hugged her. She said, "Oh, Lily, my poor baby. It is okay. I am here. I will help you. We will go to the doctor. He will make you better. But you have to be careful. You have to listen to me. You have to wear your coat when it is cold. You have to watch out for sharp things. You have to be safe." + +Lily nodded. She was still crying. She was still cold. She was still hurt. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had worn her coat. She wished she had not worn her pink skirt. She did not like her pink skirt anymore. It was her worst skirt. It had blood and tears on it. She never wore it again. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big furry bear. The bear is soft and cuddly. They call him Uni, because he has a star on his chest. They think he knows everything about the universe. + +One day, Tom and Mia have a fight. Tom wants to play with Uni, but Mia does not want to share. She says Uni is her bear, because she saw him first. Tom says that is not fair, because they are twins and they should share everything. They pull and tug on Uni, and make him angry. + +"Stop it, stop it!" Uni says in a loud voice. Tom and Mia are surprised. They did not know Uni could talk. "You are hurting me! You are not behaving! You are being bad twins!" + +Tom and Mia let go of Uni. They feel sorry for him. They look at each other and say sorry too. They hug Uni and each other. They promise to be good twins and share their toys. + +Uni smiles and says, "That's better. I love you both. You are good twins. Now, do you want to hear a story about the universe?" + +Tom and Mia nod and cuddle with Uni. They listen to his story and learn many things. They are happy and forget their fight. They thank Uni for being their friend. +Lily loved pink. She had a pink dress, a pink hat, a pink doll and a pink bike. She wanted to ride her bike in the park, but her mom said no. It was too cold and wet outside. Lily was restless. She did not want to stay in the house. She wanted to have fun. + +She looked out the window and saw a big puddle. It was shiny and muddy.

She laughed and felt happy. + +But then she heard her mom's voice. "Lily, what are you doing? Come back here right now!" Her mom was angry. She saw Lily's pink clothes and bike covered in dirt. She did not like that. She grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her inside. She took off her wet things and put them in the wash. She said, "Lily, you are in trouble. You did not listen to me. You made a mess. You have to stay in your room until dinner." + +Lily was sad. She did not mean to make her mom mad. She just wanted to play. She went to her room and hugged her pink doll. She wished she had listened to her mom. She learned a lesson. Next time, she would wait for a sunny day. +Anna likes to skip in the park. She skips with her red shoes and her yellow dress. She skips fast and slow, high and low. She is happy. + +One day, she sees a pigeon in the park. The pigeon is gray and white. It has a shiny eye and a red beak. Anna wants to skip with the pigeon. She says, "Hello, pigeon! Do you want to skip with me?" + +The pigeon does not want to skip with Anna. The pigeon is angry. It thinks Anna is too loud and too close. It flaps its wings and makes a loud noise. It says, "Go away, girl! You scare me! You are not my friend!" + +Anna is sad. She does not understand why the pigeon is angry. She likes the pigeon. She says, "Sorry, pigeon. I did not mean to scare you. I just wanted to play with you. You are pretty and soft." + +The pigeon feels a little sorry for Anna. It sees that she is not mean. It says, "It's okay, girl. I am sorry too. I was afraid of you. You are different from me. But you are nice and bright." + +Anna smiles. She says, "Thank you, pigeon. You are different from me too. But you are smart and brave. Can we be friends?" + +The pigeon nods. It says, "Yes, we can be friends. But we cannot skip together. I fly and you walk. We have different ways of moving. But we can talk and watch each other. We can learn from each other." + +Anna agrees. She says, "That sounds good, pigeon. We can be different and be friends. We can have fun in the park." + +They both smile. They sit on a bench and chat. They watch the other birds and people. They enjoy the sun and the breeze. They are happy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big net on the grass. The net has many holes. + +"Look, a net!" Lily says. "What can we do with it?" + +"Maybe we can catch something," Tom says. "Like a ball or a bird." + +They run to the net and pick it up. They try to catch a ball, but the ball is too fast. It rolls away. They try to catch a bird, but the bird is too smart. It flies away. + +"This is hard," Lily says. "The net is too slow." + +"Maybe we can solve this," Tom says. "We need something slow and big." + +They look around and see a turtle. The turtle is slow and big. It walks on the grass. + +"Let's catch the turtle!" Tom says. + +They run to the turtle and put the net over it. The turtle stops and looks at them. + +"Hello, turtle," Lily says. "We caught you with our net." + +The turtle does not say anything. It hides in its shell. + +"Maybe the turtle is scared," Tom says. "We should let it go." + +They lift the net and let the turtle go. The turtle comes out of its shell and walks away. + +"Bye, turtle," Lily says. "Sorry for catching you." + +They wave to the turtle and smile. They are happy. They solved their problem. They found something slow and big to catch with their net. +Sara and Ben are playing with their crayons and paper. They like to print many things with their crayons. They print flowers, stars, cars and animals. + +"Look, I print a big elephant!" Sara says, showing her paper to Ben. "He has a long trunk and big ears.

She brought a big box into their room and said, "This is for you, my loves. I hope you like it." Mia and Leo were very excite. They ran to the box and opened it. Inside, they saw a new blanket. It was bigger and softer and had more colors than their old one. They hugged their mom and thanked her. + +"Can we play with it now?" Mia asked. + +"Of course, but be careful. This blanket is very special. It has a secret," their mom said, and winked. + +"A secret? What is it?" Leo asked. + +"You'll find out soon enough. But don't tell anyone, okay? It's our little secret," their mom said, and left them to play. + +Mia and Leo spread the new blanket on the floor and admired it. They saw many shapes and patterns on it, like stars, flowers, animals, and letters. They wondered what the secret was. They decided to make a fort with the new blanket and hide inside. + +They had fun in their fort, telling stories and jokes and making noises. They forgot about the secret for a while. But then, they heard a knock on the door. It was their nosy neighbor, Sam. He always wanted to know what they were doing and join their games. + +"Hi, Mia and Leo. What are you playing?" Sam asked. + +"Go away, Sam. We're busy," Mia said. + +"Come on, let me in. I want to see your new blanket. I heard your mom say it has a secret," Sam said. + +"How do you know that?" Leo asked. + +"I was listening at the door. I'm curious. What is the secret?" Sam asked. + +Mia and Leo looked at each other. They didn't want to share their secret with Sam. He was rude and mean and always broke their toys. But they also didn't want to lie. They didn't know what to do. + +"Please, please, please. Let me see. I won't tell anyone. I promise," Sam begged. + +Mia and Leo sighed. They decided to let Sam in, but only for a minute. They lifted the blanket and let Sam crawl into their fort. Sam looked around and saw the new blanket. He touched it and gasped. + +"Wow, this is amazing. It's so soft and colorful. And look, it has buttons on it. What do they do?" Sam asked. + +"Those are the secret. Don't touch them," Mia said. + +"Why not? What do they do?" Sam asked. + +"They do something special. But we can't tell you. It's our secret," Leo said. + +Sam didn't listen. He was too curious. He reached for a button and pressed it. Suddenly, the blanket started to glow and make a loud noise. Mia and Leo screamed. They tried to get out of the fort, but the blanket wrapped around them and Sam. They couldn't move or breathe. They felt scared and sorry. They wished they never let Sam in. They wished they never pressed the button. They wished they never got the new blanket. They wished they had their old blanket back. But it was too late. The blanket was not a toy. It was a trap. And they were stuck. Forever. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a man playing a trumpet. The trumpet made loud and weird sounds. Ben and Lily liked the sounds. They ran to the man and asked him, "Can we try your trumpet?" + +The man smiled and said, "Sure, you can try my trumpet. But you have to be careful. It is not easy to play. You have to blow hard and part your lips like this." He showed them how to part his lips and blow into the trumpet. + +Ben and Lily took turns to try the trumpet. Ben blew too hard and made a very loud sound. He was surprised and dropped the trumpet. Lily blew too softly and made a very quiet sound. She was disappointed and gave the trumpet back to the man. + +The man said, "Don't worry, you did well for your first time. Playing the trumpet takes practice and patience. You can come back and try again another day. Do you want to hear me play some more?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and clapped their hands. They liked the man and his trumpet. They listened to him play some more weird sounds. They danced and laughed. Their mom watched them and smiled. She was happy that they had fun at the park. +Anna liked to play with dolls.

It was fun! + +But when she came back to the bench, her prince doll was gone. She looked around and saw a boy holding it. He was walking away with his dad. Anna ran after him and shouted, "Hey, that's my prince! Give him back!" + +The boy turned around and saw Anna. He said, "No, he's mine now. I found him on the bench. He's a cheap doll anyway. Look, his crown is falling off." + +Anna felt sad and angry. She tried to grab her prince doll, but the boy pushed her away. He said, "Go away, you're a crybaby. I don't want to play with you." + +The boy's dad saw what was happening and said, "Come on, son, let's go. We don't have time for this." He took the boy and the prince doll and left the park. + +Anna was left alone on the bench. She cried and cried. She wished she had never left her prince doll. She wished she could have him back.

She wished she was happy and not sad. +Sara and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big seal.

She says they have to be more careful and kind with their toys and each other. + +Sara and Ben are very sorry. They hug each other and say they are sorry. They say they love each other and the seal. They go to the seal and say goodbye. They cry and kiss the seal. They put the seal in a bag and give it to mom. Mom takes the bag and puts it in the trash. Sara and Ben watch the bag go away. They feel very sad. They lost their favorite toy. They lost their friend. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. They ran after the ball and brought it back. + +One time, the ball rolled very far and went behind a big tree. Ben and Lily ran after the ball, but they could not see it. They looked around the tree and saw a man. He was holding their ball. He was a stranger. He did not look nice. He had a big beard and a dirty coat. + +"Hello, kids," the man said. "Do you want your ball back?" + +Ben and Lily felt scared. They did not know the man. They did not want to talk to him. They wanted their ball and their mom. + +"Give us our ball, please," Ben said. He tried to sound brave, but his voice was small. + +The man smiled. He did not smile nice. He smiled mean. "Why should I?" he said. "This is a nice ball. Maybe I'll keep it. Or maybe I'll sell it. Or maybe I'll trade it for something else." + +Ben and Lily felt very scared. They did not know what to do. They looked at each other. They wished their mom was here. They wished the man would go away. + +Then they heard a voice. It was a loud voice. It was a kind voice. It was their mom's voice. + +"Ben! Lily! Where are you?" their mom called. She was looking for them. She was worried. + +Ben and Lily felt happy. They felt safe. They shouted back. "Mom! Mom! We're here! Behind the tree!" + +Their mom heard them. She ran to them. She saw the man. She saw the ball. She was angry. + +"Hey, you!" she said to the man. "What are you doing with my kids' ball? Give it back to them right now!" + +The man was surprised. He was scared. He did not want to fight with their mom. He threw the ball to Ben and Lily. He ran away. + +Ben and Lily caught the ball. They hugged their mom. They thanked her. + +Their mom hugged them back. She asked them if they were okay. She told them not to talk to strangers. She told them to stay close to her. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said they were sorry. They said they would be careful. + +They went back to the park. They played with their ball. They had fun. They did not see the man again. They were glad. They managed to get their ball back. They had a mild day. +Sara and Ben are playing with blocks in the living room. Sara likes to build tall towers and Ben likes to knock them down. Sara gets angry and shouts at Ben. + +"Stop it, Ben! You are so bossy! You always do what you want and don't let me play!" Sara says. + +Ben laughs and says, "But it's fun to knock down your towers! They are so wobbly and silly!" + +Sara feels sad and runs to her mom in the kitchen. She tells her mom what Ben did and asks for a hug. + +Mom hugs Sara and says, "I'm sorry, Sara. Ben is your brother and he loves you, but sometimes he can be a little rude. Why don't you try to talk to him and tell him how you feel?" + +Sara nods and goes back to the living room. She sees Ben sitting on the floor with the blocks. She walks up to him and says, "Ben, I don't like it when you knock down my towers. It makes me feel bad. Can you please stop?" + +Ben looks at Sara and sees that she is serious. He remembers that he loves his sister and that he doesn't want to hurt her feelings. He says, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was just playing, but I didn't think about how you felt. Can we play together and build something nice?" + +Sara smiles and says, "Yes, we can. I like to play with you, Ben. You are my brother and I love you." + +They hug and start to build a big castle with the blocks. They use their imagination and have fun. They don't shout or touch each other in a mean way. They are happy and kind. +Ben was a modest boy who liked to help his mom and dad. He did not make a lot of noise or ask for many things. He was happy to play with his toys, read his books, and nap in his bed. + +One day, Ben's mom and dad had to go to the store. They asked Ben if he wanted to come with them, but Ben said he was tired and wanted to nap. They said okay and kissed him goodbye. They told him to be good and not to open the door for anyone. + +Ben went to his bed and snuggled with his teddy bear. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. He had a nice dream about flying in a balloon with his friends. + +While Ben was napping, someone knocked on the door. It was a man with a big bag. He looked around and saw that no one was home. He decided to break in and take some things. He kicked the door and it opened. + +He went inside and looked for things to steal. He saw a TV, a laptop, a phone, and some jewelry. He put them in his bag. He felt happy and greedy. He wanted more. + +He went to Ben's room and saw him sleeping. He saw his toys, his books, and his teddy bear. He thought they were worth something. He reached for them and tried to put them in his bag. + +But he did not know that Ben's teddy bear was very special. It was a gift from Ben's grandma, who loved him very much. She had put a lot of love and magic in the teddy bear. She had made it to protect Ben from anything bad. + +When the man touched the teddy bear, it woke up. It growled and bit the man's hand. The man screamed and dropped the bag. He ran out of the room and out of the house. He was scared and hurt. + +Ben woke up and saw what had happened. He hugged his teddy bear and thanked it. He was glad that it had saved him and his things. He was not scared or hurt. + +He called his mom and dad and told them what had happened. They came home quickly and hugged him. They were proud and relieved. They called the police and told them what had happened. They found the man and arrested him. He was sorry and ashamed. + +Ben and his teddy bear went back to bed and napped some more. They had a nice dream about flying in a balloon with their friends. They were happy and safe. +Lily and Max were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Lily had a big spoon and Max had a wooden spatula. They stirred and flipped the pots and pans on the stove. + +"Look, Max, I made soup!" Lily said, enthusiastic. She lifted the spoon to her mouth and pretended to taste it. "Mmm, delicious!" + +"Let me try!" Max said. He reached for the spoon, but Lily pulled it away. "No, it's mine!" + +They started to tug on the spoon, and the pot on the stove wobbled. Lily and Max did not notice. They were too busy fighting. + +"Give it to me!" Max said. He pushed Lily hard, and she fell to the floor. The spoon flew out of her hand and hit the knob on the stove. The knob turned, and the flame under the pot came on. + +Lily and Max heard a hiss and saw the fire. They were scared. They screamed and ran out of the kitchen. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and came running. They saw the pot on fire and smelled the smoke. They quickly turned off the stove and put out the fire. They were angry and worried. + +"Lily, Max, what were you doing?" Mom asked. "You could have burned the house down!" + +"We were playing chefs," Lily said, sobbing. "But Max pushed me and turned on the stove." + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Max said, crying. "I didn't mean to." + +Mom and Dad hugged Lily and Max and told them they were glad they were safe. But they also told them they were very naughty and they should never play with the stove. They said the stove was dangerous and only for grown-ups. + +Lily and Max said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. They promised to never play with the stove again. They also said they were sorry to each other and hugged. + +Mom and Dad forgave them and gave them some cookies. They told them to play nicely and to use their toys, not the kitchen things. Lily and Max agreed and went to their room. They decided to play something else, like doctors or astronauts. They were still enthusiastic, but more careful. +Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has a big bag with him. Sara and Ben are curious. + +"Hi, what is your name?" Sara asks the new boy. + +"I am Leo. I like to collect gems." Leo says. He opens his bag and shows them many shiny stones. Some are red, some are blue, some are green. + +"Wow, they are pretty!" Ben says. He picks up a blue gem and holds it in his hand. "It is cold!" + +"Yes, they are cold. They come from the ground. I dig them with my shovel." Leo says. He points to a small shovel in his bag. + +"Can we help you dig?" Sara asks. She likes to dig too. + +"Sure, you can. There is a good spot over there. Maybe we can find more gems." Leo says. He smiles and leads them to a patch of dirt. + +Sara, Ben and Leo become friends. They dig and dig and find many gems. They share them and make necklaces and bracelets. They have fun in the park. They are happy to meet each other. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with a swing and a slide. One day, they saw a big bird with a red head and a yellow beak. It was sitting on a branch and singing. + +"Look, Lily, a bird!" Tom said. "Let's go and say hello." + +"OK, Tom, but be careful. The bird might fly away or bite us," Lily said. + +They walked slowly to the tree and tried to talk to the bird. The bird looked at them and tilted its head. + +"Hello, bird. What is your name?" Tom asked. + +"Tweet, tweet, tweet," the bird answered. + +"Wow, the bird can talk!" Lily said. "Can we be your friends?" + +"Tweet, tweet, tweet," the bird said again. + +Tom and Lily smiled and clapped their hands. They thought the bird was very nice and funny. They did not know that the bird was not really talking, but copying the sounds of their cell phone that they had left on the swing. The bird had seen the cell phone and liked its shiny screen and buttons. It had learned how to make the same noises as the cell phone. + +The bird waited for Tom and Lily to get closer to the tree. Then, it flew down from the branch and grabbed the cell phone with its beak. It flew away as fast as it could, leaving Tom and Lily shocked and sad. + +"Hey, that's our cell phone!" Tom shouted. "Come back, bird, come back!" + +"Bad bird, bad bird!" Lily cried. "Give us our cell phone!" + +But the bird did not listen. It was happy with its new toy. It flew to another tree and played with the cell phone. It pressed the buttons and made the cell phone ring and beep. It did not know that it was calling their mom, who was at work. + +"Hello, hello, who is this?" their mom said. + +"Tweet, tweet, tweet," the bird said. + +Their mom was confused and worried. She thought something was wrong with Tom and Lily. She decided to leave work and go home to check on them. + +She arrived at the garden and saw Tom and Lily sitting on the swing, looking sad. She hugged them and asked them what happened. + +"A bird took our cell phone, mom," Tom said. + +"It was a big bird with a red head and a yellow beak, mom," Lily said. + +Their mom looked around and saw the bird on another tree, still playing with the cell phone. She recognized the bird as a parrot, a smart and colorful bird that can copy sounds. + +"Oh, I see. That's a parrot, kids. It likes shiny things and can mimic sounds. It must have liked your cell phone and wanted to keep it," she said. + +"Can we get our cell phone back, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Maybe, but we have to be very careful. Parrots can be shy and scared of people. We have to be quiet and gentle and try to make friends with the parrot," she said. + +She took some seeds and nuts from the kitchen and went to the tree where the parrot was. She called the parrot softly and offered it some food. The parrot looked at her and the food. It was hungry and curious. It flew down from the tree and landed on her hand. It ate some seeds and nuts and made some happy noises. + +"Good parrot, good parrot," their mom said. "Can I have my cell phone back, please?" + +She reached for the cell phone with her other hand. The parrot saw her and got nervous. It bit her finger and flew away with the cell phone again. + +"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" their mom said. "That hurt, parrot, that hurt!" + +She put her finger in her mouth and looked at the parrot. The parrot looked at her and felt sorry. It realized that it had been naughty and mean. It flew back to her and dropped the cell phone on her lap. It rubbed its head on her finger and said, + +"Sorry, sorry, sorry." + +Their mom smiled and forgave the parrot. She thanked it for giving back the cell phone and gave it some more food. She asked Tom and Lily to come and meet the parrot. They came and petted the parrot and said sorry too. The parrot liked them and said, + +"Hello, hello, hello." + +They all became friends and played together in the garden. The parrot learned some new words and songs from Tom and Lily. They learned some new things about parrots from their mom. They had fun and laughed a lot. They decided to name the parrot Ruby, because of its red head. They also decided to keep their cell phone in a safe place, away from Ruby's +Sara and Ben liked to go to the zoo. They liked to see the animals and feed them. Their favorite animal was the hippo. The hippo was big and fat and had a big mouth. He liked to swim in the water and splash. + +One day, Sara and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They ran to the hippo pool and saw the hippo. He was hanging out of the water and opening his mouth. Sara and Ben thought he was charming. They wanted to give him some food. + +"Mom, can we feed the hippo?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful. Don't get too close to the fence," Mom said. + +Mom gave Sara and Ben some carrots and lettuce. They threw them to the hippo. The hippo ate them and made a loud noise. Sara and Ben laughed. + +They wanted to see the hippo better. They climbed on the fence and leaned over. The hippo saw them and got angry. He did not like them hanging over his pool. He jumped out of the water and bit them. Sara and Ben screamed. Mom ran to help them, but it was too late. The hippo had hurt them badly. They were not charming anymore. They were sad and scared. The hippo was not their favorite animal anymore. He was mean and scary. The end. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to watch the squirrels run and jump on the trees. One day, they saw a big squirrel with a shiny ring on its tail. Anna said, "Wow, look at that squirrel! It has a ring! Maybe it is married to another squirrel!" + +Ben said, "I want that ring! It is so pretty! I will take it from the squirrel and give it to you, Anna. Then we can pretend to be married too!" He ran after the squirrel and tried to grab its tail. But the squirrel was fast and smart. It bit Ben's hand and ran away. Ben cried out in pain and dropped the ring. + +Anna ran to Ben and saw his hand was bleeding. She said, "Oh, Ben, are you okay? That was a bad thing to do! You should not take things from others without asking. That ring belongs to the squirrel. Maybe it is a gift from its mate. How would you feel if someone took your toy or your snack?" + +Ben felt sorry for what he did. He said, "You are right, Anna. I was wrong. I am sorry for hurting the squirrel and for being greedy. I don't need the ring to be your friend. I like you just the way you are." He picked up the ring and threw it back to the tree. The squirrel came back and took the ring. It looked at Ben and Anna and made a happy noise. + +Anna and Ben hugged and said, "We are sorry, squirrel. We hope you are happy with your ring and your mate. We will not bother you again. We will be kind and respectful to all the animals in the park." They learned their lesson and went home. They were still friends and they played nicely together. They also made friends with the other squirrels and shared their snacks with them. The squirrels liked them and sometimes gave them nuts and acorns. Anna and Ben were happy and grateful. They knew that friendship is more valuable than any ring. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They had a cooler with juice and snacks. They saw a big dog with a bow on its neck. The dog was friendly and wagged its tail. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked Ben. + +"Sure, let's go say hi," Ben said. + +They walked to the dog and its owner. The owner smiled and said, "This is Daisy. She likes children. You can pet her if you want." + +Lily and Ben reached out their hands and touched Daisy's fur. She licked their faces and made them giggle. + +"Wow, she's so soft and nice," Lily said. + +"She's also very smart," the owner said. "She can do tricks. Watch this." + +The owner held a treat in his hand and said, "Daisy, sit." Daisy sat down and looked at the treat. "Daisy, speak." Daisy barked and wagged her tail. "Daisy, bow." Daisy lowered her head and chest to the ground and raised her tail. + +Lily and Ben clapped and cheered. "That's amazing," Ben said. + +"Thank you," the owner said. "She loves to make people happy. Do you want a treat too?" + +He opened the cooler and gave them each a juice and a cookie. Lily and Ben thanked him and shared their snacks with Daisy. + +They had a lot of fun with the dog and the owner. They learned that Daisy was not ignorant, but very clever and kind. They made a new friend in the park. +Ben and Lily liked to collect gems. They found them in the park, in the sand, and in the rocks. They had a big box of gems at home. They liked to look at them and make them shine. + +One day, they saw a big gem in the grass. It was red and shiny. They ran to get it. But they did not see the big dog behind the fence. The dog was angry and loud. It did not like strangers in its yard. + +"Wow, look at this gem!" Ben said. "It is the biggest one we ever found!" + +"Let me see, let me see!" Lily said. She reached for the gem. + +But then they heard a bark. The dog jumped over the fence and ran to them. It showed its teeth and growled. + +"Run, run!" Ben shouted. He dropped the gem and grabbed Lily's hand. They tried to run away, but the dog was faster. It bit Ben's leg and made him fall. Lily screamed and cried. + +The dog owner heard the noise and came out. He saw the dog and the children. He called the dog and put it on a leash. He was sorry and scared. He helped Ben and Lily and called their mom. He said he would pay for the doctor. + +Ben and Lily were hurt and sad. They did not get the gem. They did not want to collect gems anymore. They learned to be alert and careful. They never went to that yard again. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw a big rose with red petals and a nice smell. They wanted to pick it and give it to their mom. + +"Can you reach it?" Lily asked Tom. + +"I will try," Tom said. He stood on his toes and stretched his arm. He managed to touch the rose, but it had sharp thorns that hurt his hand. He cried out loud and let go of the rose. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom said. "The rose is bad! It bit me!" + +Lily felt sorry for Tom. She ran to him and hugged him. She saw blood on his hand and felt scared. + +"Let's go to mom," Lily said. "She will make it better." + +They ran to the house, but mom was not there. She had gone to the store to buy some milk. They saw a note on the table that said: "Back soon. Love, mom." + +Tom and Lily felt alone and sad. They did not know what to do. They sat on the couch and cried. They wished they had never seen the rose. They wished mom was there. They wished they had a fair day. But they did not. The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They saw a big pile of leaves that Dad had raked. They wanted to jump in the leaves and have fun. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "We can make a big mess and hide in the leaves!" + +"No, Tom, we can't!" Lily said. "Dad will be mad. He worked hard to rake the leaves. He said we have to stay away from them." + +"Who cares?" Tom said. "Dad is slow. He won't see us. Come on, it will be fun!" + +Tom ran to the pile of leaves and jumped in. He laughed and threw leaves in the air. Lily followed him. She was scared, but she wanted to play with Tom. They forgot about Dad and had a good time. + +But Dad was not slow. He saw them from the window. He was very mad. He grabbed his rake and went to the yard. He yelled at Tom and Lily. + +"What are you doing?" Dad said. "You ruined my work! You are very bad! You have to punish!" + +He took his rake and hit Tom and Lily with it. It hurt a lot. They cried and said sorry. But Dad did not listen. He hit them more and more. He did not stop. Tom and Lily wished they had listened to Dad. They wished they had stayed away from the leaves. They wished they had been good. But it was too late. Dad punished them until they were no more. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. They have many toys, but their favorite toy is a big plane. The plane is red and blue and shiny. It can make sounds and fly in the air. + +One day, Lily and Ben decide to study the plane. They want to know how it works. They look at the wings, the tail, the nose, and the wheels. They touch the buttons and the levers. They ask each other questions. + +"Where does the plane go?" Lily asks. + +"It goes to far places, like the zoo or the beach," Ben says. + +"How does the plane fly?" Ben asks. + +"It flies with wind and magic," Lily says. + +They pretend to be pilots and passengers. They take turns to fly the plane and sit in the plane. They have fun and learn new things. + +Lily and Ben think the plane is very attractive. They think it is the best toy ever. They hug the plane and thank it for the adventure. They say goodbye to the plane and put it away. They are happy and tired. They go to have a snack and a nap. They dream of flying in the plane again. +Jill and Ben like to dance. They dance in the living room, in the kitchen, and in the garden. They dance when they are happy, when they are sad, and when they are bored. They dance with music, with no music, and with their own songs. + +One day, they find a big box in the attic. It has many old things inside. They see a shiny dress, a funny hat, and a pair of shoes. Jill puts on the dress and the hat. Ben puts on the shoes. They look at each other and laugh. + +"Let's dance!" Jill says. + +They go down to the living room. They turn on the music. They dance and dance. They spin and jump and twirl. They are having so much fun. + +But they are careless. They do not see the vase on the table. They do not see the lamp on the floor. They do not see the cat on the couch. They bump into the vase. It falls and breaks. They step on the lamp. It sparks and smokes. They scare the cat. It hisses and scratches. + +"Stop!" Mom says. She comes into the living room. She sees the mess. She sees the broken vase, the broken lamp, and the angry cat. She sees Jill and Ben in the old clothes. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. + +"We are dancing," Jill and Ben say. + +"Well, your dance is over," Mom says. "You have to clean up this mess. And you have to put back the old things. They are not yours. They are Grandma's. She gave them to me. They are very special." + +Jill and Ben feel bad. They did not know. They say sorry to Mom. They say sorry to the cat. They take off the old clothes. They help Mom clean up the mess. They put back the old things in the box. They do not dance anymore. They are quiet and sad. + +Mom sees them. She hugs them. She says, "I know you like to dance. And I like to see you happy. But you have to be careful. You have to respect other people's things. And you have to watch where you are going. Do you understand?" + +Jill and Ben nod. They understand. They say sorry again. They say they love Mom. They say they love Grandma. They say they love the old things. + +Mom smiles. She says, "I love you too. And I love Grandma. And I love the old things. But you know what? I also love to dance. Do you want to dance with me?" + +Jill and Ben smile. They say yes. They hug Mom. They turn on the music. They dance and dance. But this time, they are careful. They do not break anything. They do not hurt anyone. They are happy. And so is Mom. And so is the cat. And so is Grandma, who is watching them from a picture on the wall. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today is Anna's birthday. She has a party at her house. She invites Ben and other friends. + +Before the party, Anna's mom says, "Anna, you need to bathe. You are dirty from playing outside. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." + +Anna does not want to bathe. She says, "No, mom, I don't want to bathe. I want to play more. Bathing is boring." + +Anna's mom says, "But, Anna, you have to bathe. You want to be clean and nice for your party, right? And bathing can be fun. You can play with your toys in the water. Look, I have a new rubber duck for you." + +Anna likes rubber ducks. She says, "OK, mom, I will bathe. But only for a little bit. Then I want to go to the party." + +Anna's mom helps her bathe. She washes her hair and body with soap. She rinses her with water. She gives her the rubber duck. Anna plays with the duck. She makes it quack and swim. She splashes the water. She has fun. + +After bathing, Anna's mom wraps her in a towel. She dries her hair and body. She puts on her clothes. She combs her hair. She says, "There, Anna, you are done. You look beautiful. Are you ready for the party?" + +Anna says, "Yes, mom, I am ready. Thank you for the duck. Can I take it to the party?" + +Anna's mom says, "Sure, Anna, you can take it to the party. But don't get it wet again. It needs to stay dry." + +Anna says, "OK, mom, I will keep it dry. Come on, let's go to the party. I can't wait to see Ben and the other friends. And the cake. And the balloons. And the presents. Yay!" + +Anna and her mom go to the party. Anna has a lot of fun. She shares her duck with Ben and the other friends. They all say happy birthday to Anna. They eat cake and ice cream. They play games and sing songs. They open presents. Anna is happy. She hugs her mom and says, "Thank you, mom, for the best party ever." +Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big, green vegetable that looked like a snake. They were very scared and ran to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, there is a scary snake in the garden!" they cried. + +Mom looked at the vegetable and smiled. "That is not a snake, my dears. That is a zucchini. It is a good vegetable that you can eat. Do you want to try some?" + +Tom and Anna shook their heads. They did not like vegetables. They only liked candy and cake. + +Mom was sad. She wanted them to eat healthy food. She had an idea. She cut the zucchini into small pieces and mixed them with cheese and eggs. She baked them in the oven and made zucchini muffins. + +"Look, I made some yummy muffins for you. Do you want to try some?" she asked. + +Tom and Anna smelled the muffins and their mouths watered. They liked muffins. They took a bite and smiled. They did not know there was zucchini inside. They liked the muffins very much. + +"Mom, these are the best muffins ever! Can we have more?" they asked. + +Mom was happy. She hugged them and said, "Of course, you can have more. But you have to promise me something. Next time you see a new vegetable, do not panic. Do not be scared. Try it and you might like it. Vegetables are good for you. They make you strong and smart." + +Tom and Anna nodded. They learned a lesson. They decided to try new vegetables and not judge them by their looks. They thanked mom for the muffins and the lesson. They ate the muffins and felt good. They were not scared of zucchini anymore. They were brave and curious. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. They have many toys and books. Sometimes they share, sometimes they fight. + +One day, Lily gets a fancy card in the mail. It is pink and shiny. It has a picture of a unicorn and a rainbow. It says, "Happy Birthday, Lily! You are my best friend. Love, Tom." + +Lily is very happy. She runs to show her mom. "Look, mom! Tom sent me a card! It is so fancy!" + +Mom smiles. "That is very nice of Tom. He is a good friend. Do you want to call him and say thank you?" + +Lily nods. She picks up the phone and dials Tom's number. She hears his voice. + +"Hi, Lily! Did you get my card?" + +"Yes, Tom! I love it! It is so fancy! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" + +"You are welcome, Lily! I am glad you like it. You are my best friend, too. Do you want to come to my house and play?" + +"Yes, Tom! I want to play with you. Can I bring my card?" + +"Of course, Lily! You can bring your card. And I have a surprise for you. I have a cake and balloons for your birthday!" + +"Wow, Tom! You are so nice! I can't wait to see you!" + +"Me too, Lily! See you soon!" + +Lily hangs up the phone. She hugs her mom. "Mom, Tom is the best friend ever! He sent me a card and he has a cake and balloons for me!" + +Mom hugs her back. "I am happy for you, Lily. You are a lucky girl. Now, let's get ready to go to Tom's house and have fun!" +Lily liked to play in the garden with her toy animals. She had a big squash that she used as a house for them. She made a door and windows with a knife and put some grass and flowers inside. She was very busy and happy. + +One day, a big dog came into the garden. He saw the squash and thought it was a ball. He ran to it and bit it hard. He made a big hole and all the toy animals fell out. Lily heard the noise and came to see. She saw the dog and the squash and she was very sad and angry. + +"Bad dog! Go away! You broke my house and hurt my friends!" she shouted. She picked up a stick and tried to hit the dog. But the dog was bigger and faster. He barked and jumped at Lily. He knocked her down and scratched her arm. Lily cried and screamed. She suffered a lot. + +Her mom heard her and came to help. She saw the dog and the squash and Lily. She was very scared and mad. She grabbed a broom and chased the dog away. She hugged Lily and checked her arm. She saw some blood and dirt. She took Lily inside and cleaned and bandaged her arm. She gave her some juice and a cookie and a kiss. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. That was a bad dog. He should not have come into our garden. He should not have broken your squash and hurt you. Are you okay?" she asked. + +Lily nodded and sniffed. She felt better, but she still missed her squash and her toy animals. She looked out the window and saw them lying on the ground. She hoped they were not too broken or dirty. She wanted to play with them again. + +"Mom, can we get a new squash? And can we fix my toy animals?" she asked. + +"Of course, Lily. We can go to the market and buy a new squash. And we can wash and mend your toy animals. They will be fine. And we will make a fence around the garden, so no more bad dogs can come in. Okay?" her mom said. + +Lily smiled and hugged her mom. She was glad her mom was nice and helpful. She looked forward to having a new squash and playing with her toy animals again. She hoped the bad dog would not come back. She learned to be careful in the garden. +Lila was a girl who liked to do things her own way. She was independent and did not like to follow rules. One day, she decided to play with her mom's hair tools. She found a big brush, a hair dryer and a curling iron. She wanted to make her hair look different. + +She plugged in the curling iron and turned it on. She did not know it was very hot. She took a big piece of her hair and wrapped it around the iron. She waited for a few seconds and then pulled the iron away. But her hair did not look curly. It looked burned and smelled bad. She screamed and dropped the iron. + +"Ow, ow, ow! What did you do, Lila?" her mom said, running into the room. She saw the curling iron on the floor and the smoke in the air. She saw Lila's hair and gasped. "Oh, no, Lila, you ruined your hair!" + +"I'm sorry, mom, I wanted to make it curly," Lila said, crying. "Can you fix it?" + +"I don't know, Lila, this is very bad. You should never play with these tools. They are dangerous and can hurt you. You have to listen to me and follow the rules. Do you understand?" her mom said, hugging her. + +Lila nodded and sniffed. She felt sorry and scared. She wished she could reverse what she did and have her hair back. She learned her lesson and promised to be more careful and less independent. +Sam and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big bird in the sky. It had black and white feathers and a long neck. It was a swan. + +"Look, a swan!" Sam said. "It can soar high and low. It can swim in the water. It is beautiful." + +"I want to soar like a swan," Mia said. "Can we pretend to be swans?" + +"Okay," Sam said. "Let's flap our arms and make swan sounds." + +They flapped their arms and made honking noises. They ran around the park, pretending to soar like swans. They had fun. + +But then they saw a big bull in the field. It had brown fur and horns and a ring in its nose. It was a terrible bull. It saw Sam and Mia and it was angry. It snorted and stamped its hooves. It charged at them. + +"Run, run, run!" Sam shouted. "The bull is coming!" + +They ran as fast as they could. They were scared. They reached the fence and climbed over it. They were safe. + +"That was a terrible bull," Mia said. "It was mean and scary. It wanted to hurt us." + +"I know," Sam said. "It was not like a swan. It was not beautiful. It was ugly and bad." + +They hugged each other. They were glad they were okay. They decided to play somewhere else. They did not want to see the terrible bull again. +One day, a curious fox saw a big log in the forest. He wanted to know what was inside the log, so he ran to it and poked his nose in a hole. But he felt a sharp pain and quickly pulled back. A mean bee had stung him on the nose! + +The fox was angry and wanted to punish the bee. He looked for another hole and tried to bite the bee. But the bee was faster and flew away. The fox chased the bee, but the bee led him to a big hive. Many bees came out and buzzed around the fox. + +The fox was scared and ran away from the bees. He ran so fast that he did not see a big rock in his way. He tripped over the rock and fell into a muddy pond. He was wet and dirty and his nose still hurt. He wished he had not been so curious about the log. He learned his lesson and never bothered the bees again. +Lily and Tom like to play with bricks. They have many bricks of different colors and shapes. They build houses and towers and cars with their bricks. + +One day, they go to the park with their mom. They bring some bricks with them. They find a big sandbox and start to make a castle with their bricks. They are very happy. + +But then, a big dog comes to the sandbox. The dog is curious and friendly. He wants to play with Lily and Tom. He runs around and jumps on their castle. He knocks down their bricks and makes a big mess. + +Lily and Tom are sad and angry. They yell at the dog. They try to get their bricks back. But some bricks are lost in the sand. They cannot find them. They have fewer bricks than before. + +Mom sees what happens. She comes to help Lily and Tom. She tells them not to be mad at the dog. He did not know he was ruining their castle. He just wanted to have fun. She helps them look for their lost bricks. She finds some, but not all. + +She tells Lily and Tom that they can still play with their bricks. They can make something different with them. Maybe a boat or a train or a rocket. She tells them that different can be good. It can be fun and creative. + +Lily and Tom think about it. They decide to try something different. They smile and hug mom. They say thank you to her. They start to build a new thing with their bricks. They are happy again. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play in the woods. One day, they saw a big swamp with green water and mud. They wanted to cross it, but it looked scary and smelly. + +"Let's pass the swamp and see what's on the other side," Ben said. He was brave and curious. + +"I don't know, Ben. It looks dangerous and dirty. Maybe we should go back," Lily said. She was modest and careful. + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He jumped into the swamp and started to walk. He splashed and laughed. "Come on, Lily. It's fun. Don't be afraid," he said. + +Lily did not want to hurt Ben's feelings. She followed him into the swamp. She did not like it. It was cold and sticky. She tried to smile. "Are we almost there, Ben?" she asked. + +Ben did not answer. He was too busy looking at the swamp. He saw a big frog and tried to catch it. He did not see the snake that was hiding in the mud. The snake bit Ben on the leg. Ben screamed and fell. + +Lily heard Ben's scream and ran to him. She saw the snake and the blood. She was scared and sad. She helped Ben get out of the swamp. She wrapped his leg with her scarf. She called for help. + +Soon, a man came and took Ben and Lily to the doctor. The doctor gave Ben some medicine and a bandage. He said Ben would be okay, but he had to rest and be careful. + +Lily stayed with Ben and hugged him. She was glad he was alive. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I should have said no to the swamp. It was a bad idea." + +Ben looked at Lily and said, "No, I'm sorry, Lily. I should have listened to you. You were right. The swamp was dangerous and dirty. It was not fun. It was a mistake." + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be modest and careful. They learned to respect nature and its dangers. They learned to listen to each other and be good friends. +Lily was sad. She had a cold and had to stay in bed. She could not play with her toys or go outside. She had a tube in her nose that helped her breathe. She did not like the tube. It was hard and itchy. + +One day, her mom came to her room with a big smile. She said, "Lily, I have good news. The doctor said you are improving. You can take off the tube soon. And look, I brought you a surprise." + +She gave Lily a big box with a bow. Lily opened it and saw a beautiful doll. The doll had long hair, a pink dress, and shiny shoes. Lily hugged the doll and said, "Thank you, mom. She is so pretty. What is her name?" + +Mom said, "You can name her whatever you want. She is your new friend. She will keep you company until you get better." + +Lily thought for a moment and said, "I will name her Rose. She is like a flower that makes me happy." + +Mom kissed Lily and said, "I'm glad you like her. You are a brave girl, Lily. You will be well soon. I love you." + +Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, mom. And I love Rose. She is the best gift ever." She cuddled with her doll and felt less gloomy. She hoped that tomorrow she could play with her other toys and go outside. She was improving. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big truck and Lily had a doll. They were having fun, but Lily wanted to try something new. + +"Lily, can I have your doll?" Ben asked. + +"No, Ben, this is my doll. You have your truck," Lily said. + +"But I want to play with your doll. She has pretty hair and a dress. My truck is boring," Ben said. + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to share her doll. She liked her doll very much. She hugged her doll and turned away from Ben. + +Ben was impatient. He did not like to wait. He wanted to play with the doll now. He reached out his hand and tried to grab the doll from Lily. Lily screamed and pulled the doll back. They started to fight over the doll. + +"Stop it, Ben! Stop it, Lily!" their mom said. She came into the living room and saw them fighting. She was not happy. She took the doll and the truck away from them. "You two need to learn to share and be nice to each other. No more toys for you until you say sorry and hug." + +Ben and Lily were sad and angry. They did not want to say sorry or hug. They crossed their arms and pouted. They did not look at each other. + +Their mom sighed. She wanted them to get along. She had an idea. She went to the kitchen and came back with an orange. She peeled the orange and broke it into pieces. She gave each of them a piece. + +"Look, this is an orange. It is sweet and juicy. You can both enjoy it. But you have to share it. If you don't share it, you will lose it. Do you understand?" she said. + +Ben and Lily looked at the orange. They liked oranges. They wanted to eat the orange. They nodded their heads. + +"Good. Now, can you say sorry and hug?" their mom said. + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They felt a little sorry and a little silly. They said sorry and hugged. They smiled and ate the orange. They felt better. + +Their mom smiled too. She was glad they made up. She gave them back their toys. "Now, you can play with your toys again. But remember to share and be nice to each other. OK?" + +Ben and Lily said OK. They thanked their mom and gave her a kiss. They played with their toys again. Sometimes they swapped their toys. Sometimes they played together. They did not fight anymore. They had fun. +Ben and Mia were playing in the garden. They saw a big bird with unusual colors. It had red, blue and green feathers. It was very pretty. + +"Look, Mia, a rainbow bird!" Ben said. + +"Wow, can we touch it?" Mia asked. + +They ran towards the bird, but it flew away. They followed it to the other side of the garden, where there was a big lime tree. The bird landed on a branch and started to eat a lime. + +"Maybe it likes limes," Ben said. "Let's give it some more." + +They picked some limes from the tree and threw them to the bird. The bird caught them with its beak and ate them happily. It made a loud noise that sounded like a laugh. + +"Ha ha, it likes us!" Mia said. + +They threw more and more limes to the bird, until they ran out of limes. The bird looked at them and made another noise. It sounded like a growl. + +"Uh oh, what's wrong?" Ben asked. + +The bird opened its wings and flew towards them. It was not a friendly bird. It was a hungry bird. It wanted to eat them! + +"Run, Mia, run!" Ben shouted. + +They turned around and ran back to the house. But the bird was faster. It caught Mia by her hair and lifted her up in the air. Mia screamed and cried. + +"Help, Ben, help!" Mia said. + +Ben tried to help, but he was too small. He could not reach the bird. He could only watch as the bird flew away with Mia. He was very sad and scared. + +The end. +Ben and Lily were playing outside in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. But they had to behave, because their mom was watching them from the window. She told them not to go too far or too fast. + +"Look, Lily, the sky is so blue and dry today!" Ben said. He pointed at the fluffy clouds. "Do you see any shapes?" + +Lily squinted her eyes and looked up. "I see a bunny, and a flower, and a star!" she said. She smiled and clapped her hands. + +"Wow, you have a good eye!" Ben said. He tried to see what she saw, but he only saw clouds. "I see a big ball, and a boat, and a hat!" + +They took turns telling each other what they saw in the sky. They had fun and used their imagination. They behaved well and did not make any trouble. + +Their mom was happy and proud of them. She came out of the house and gave them a hug and a kiss. "You are such good children!" she said. "Do you want a snack?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben and Lily said. They followed their mom inside. They were hungry and thirsty. They enjoyed their snack and told their mom about the sky. She listened and smiled. She loved them very much. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck in the park. The truck has many cones on it. The cones are orange and white. The truck is loud. It makes a beep-beep sound. + +"Look, Ben, cones!" Lily says. She runs to the truck. She wants to touch a cone. + +"Wait, Lily, be careful!" Ben says. He follows her. He is scared of the truck. + +The truck driver sees Lily and Ben. He smiles. He stops the truck. He gets out. He has a hat and a vest. + +"Hello, kids, do you like cones?" he asks. + +"Yes, we do!" Lily says. "Can we have one?" + +"Sure, you can. But only one each. And you have to be safe. Don't go near the truck when it moves. It is loud and big. It can hurt you." he says. + +He gives Lily and Ben each a cone. They are happy. They say thank you. They hold the cones. They feel the cones. The cones are hard and smooth. + +"Let's play with the cones, Ben!" Lily says. + +"OK, Lily, let's go!" Ben says. + +They run to the grass. They put the cones on the ground. They make a circle with the cones. They pretend the cones are their friends. They meet new friends. They have fun. They laugh. They forget about the truck. +Lily and Sam were playing in the backyard. They had a big pot and some spoons. They wanted to make soup for their dolls and teddy bears. + +"What do we need for soup?" Lily asked. + +"We need water and salt and carrots and noodles," Sam said. + +They filled the pot with water from the hose. They added some salt from the kitchen. They picked some carrots from the garden. They broke some noodles from the box. + +"Now we have to stir the soup," Lily said. She took a spoon and started to stir the pot. + +Sam took another spoon and helped her. They stirred and stirred until the soup was hot and bubbly. + +"Soup is ready!" they shouted. They poured some soup into small bowls. They gave a bowl to each doll and teddy bear. They sat down on a blanket and pretended to eat. + +"Yum, yum, this is the best soup ever!" Lily said. + +"Yum, yum, I agree!" Sam said. + +They heard a loud thud. They looked up and saw a baseball flying over the fence. It landed in their pot and splashed the soup everywhere. + +"Hey, that's our soup!" Lily cried. + +"Hey, that's our baseball!" a voice said from the other side of the fence. + +It was Tom, their neighbor. He was playing baseball with his friends. + +"Sorry, we didn't mean to hit your soup," Tom said. + +"Can we have our baseball back?" he asked. + +"Can we have our soup back?" Lily asked. + +They decided to trade. Tom threw the baseball over the fence. Lily and Sam threw the soup over the fence. + +The baseball was hard and round. The soup was soft and wet. + +They were both happy with their trade. They said goodbye and went back to their games. +Tom and Mia like to play in the pool. They have a rod that floats on the water. They take turns to dive and catch the rod. They laugh and splash each other. + +"Look at me, Mia!" Tom says. He dives under the water and grabs the rod. He comes up and holds it high. "I got it!" + +"Good job, Tom!" Mia says. She claps her hands. "Now it's my turn!" + +She dives under the water and looks for the rod. She sees it near the bottom of the pool. She swims fast and reaches for it. But Tom is faster. He dives again and snatches the rod before Mia can touch it. + +"Ha ha, I got it again!" Tom says. He swims to the edge of the pool and climbs out. He waves the rod at Mia. "You are too slow, Mia!" + +Mia feels sad and angry. She does not like to lose. She does not like Tom's teasing. She swims to the edge of the pool and gets out. She does not want to play with Tom anymore. + +"Tom, you are not nice!" Mia says. She stomps her feet. "You are not my friend!" + +Tom feels sorry. He did not mean to hurt Mia's feelings. He likes to play with Mia. She is his best friend. He wants to make her happy. + +"Mia, I'm sorry!" Tom says. He runs after Mia. He gives her the rod. "Here, you can have the rod. You are a good diver. You are my friend!" + +Mia smiles. She takes the rod. She hugs Tom. "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. You are nice!" + +They go back to the pool. They play with the rod. They share and take turns. They have fun. They are happy. They are popular. Everyone likes to play with them. +Ben and Lily were playing with a big ball in the park. They liked to kick the ball and catch it and roll it. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they saw a big tree with a rope hanging from it. The rope had a knot at the end. It looked like a swing. Ben wanted to try it. He ran to the tree and grabbed the rope. + +"Ben, be careful!" Lily said. "That rope is not for swinging. It is too high and too thin. You might fall and hurt yourself." + +Ben did not listen. He was brave. He wanted to swing. He said, "I dare you to swing with me, Lily. Don't be scared. It will be fun." + +Lily was scared. She did not want to swing. She thought it was dangerous. But she did not want to look silly. She wanted to be brave too. She said, "OK, I dare you to swing first, Ben. Show me how you do it." + +Ben smiled. He thought he was clever. He pulled the rope and swung his legs over the knot. He pushed himself off the ground and flew in the air. He felt happy and free. + +But then he saw something red. It was a sign on the tree. It said, "Danger. Do not swing on this rope. It is old and weak. It might break." + +Ben felt scared. He wanted to stop. He tried to slow down and grab the tree. But it was too late. The rope snapped and Ben fell to the ground. He cried out loud. He hurt his arm and his leg. + +Lily ran to him. She was sorry. She said, "Ben, are you OK? I'm sorry I dared you to swing. I should have stopped you. It was a bad idea." + +Ben was sad. He said, "I'm sorry too. I should have listened to you. It was a bad idea. I was not brave. I was foolish." + +Lily hugged him. She said, "It's OK, Ben. We all make mistakes. Let's go and find a grown-up. They will help you. And then we can play with the ball again. That is safer and more fun." + +Ben nodded. He said, "OK, Lily. Thank you for being my friend. And next time, let's not dare each other to do silly things. Let's just have fun." +Lily was having a party for her birthday. She wanted to invite all her friends from school and play games and eat cake. She made cards with stickers and glitter and wrote her name on them. She gave one to each friend in her class. + +But there was one boy who did not get a card. His name was Sam and he was very shy. He liked to draw pictures of skeletons and monsters and he did not talk much. Lily thought he was weird and scary and she did not want him at her party. + +Sam saw Lily giving out cards and he felt sad. He wished he could go to her party and have fun. He liked Lily and he wanted to be her friend. He did not know why she did not like him. He thought his skeletons and monsters were cool and funny, not weird and scary. + +One day, Lily was walking home from school with her cards. She was very happy and excited for her party. She did not see Sam following her. He wanted to talk to her and ask her why she did not invite him. He hoped she would change her mind and let him come. + +But as Lily crossed the street, she did not look both ways. She did not see the big car coming fast. She was in danger. Sam saw the car and he was scared. He ran to Lily and pushed her out of the way. He saved her from the car, but he got hit instead. He fell to the ground and he was hurt. + +Lily was shocked and scared. She saw Sam lying on the road and she saw blood. She ran to him and cried. She said, "Sam, Sam, are you okay? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't invite you. You are brave and kind and you saved me. You are my friend. Please don't die." + +Sam opened his eyes and smiled. He said, "Lily, I'm okay. Don't cry. I'm glad you are safe. You are my friend too. Thank you for saying sorry. Can I still come to your party?" + +Lily nodded and hugged him. She said, "Yes, yes, of course you can come. You are the best friend ever. You are lucky you are not dead. And I am lucky you are alive. And I am lucky you like skeletons and monsters. They are cool and funny. Can you draw one for me?" + +Sam nodded and hugged her back. He said, "Yes, yes, I can draw one for you. And I can show you how to make them out of paper and glue. And we can play games and eat cake. And we can be friends forever." + +They smiled and held hands. They waited for the ambulance to come and take Sam to the hospital. They knew they would be okay. They knew they had learned a lesson. They knew they had found a friend. +Anna loved strawberries. She wanted to eat them every day. But her mom said no. She said strawberries were not good for Anna's teeth. She said Anna had to eat other things too. + +One day, Anna saw a big bowl of strawberries on the kitchen table. Her mom was not there. Anna thought, maybe I can have one. Just one. She reached for the bowl and took a strawberry. It was sweet and juicy. She wanted another one. And another one. She ate and ate until the bowl was empty. + +Then her mom came back. She saw the empty bowl and Anna's red mouth. She was very angry. She said, "Anna, did you eat all the strawberries?" Anna nodded. She felt bad. She knew she did something wrong. Her mom said, "That was very naughty, Anna. You did not listen to me. You did not share with your brother. You ate too much. Now you will have a tummy ache and a tooth ache. And you will have no dessert tonight. That is your punishment." + +Anna started to cry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I love strawberries. I won't do it again." Her mom said, "I love you, Anna. But you have to learn to follow the rules. And to be kind and fair. Now go to your room and think about what you did." Anna went to her room. She felt miserable. She wished she had not eaten all the strawberries. She wished she had listened to her mom. She hoped her mom would forgive her. She hoped her brother would not be mad at her. She hoped she would feel better soon. She learned a hard lesson that day. +Tim and Mia liked to jog in the park with their dog, Rex. They jogged every day after school, and Rex ran with them. Jogging was their task, because they wanted to be fast and strong. They also liked to see the birds, the flowers, and the other people in the park. + +One day, they saw a mysterious man in a big coat and a hat. He was sitting on a bench, and he had a big bag next to him. He looked at Tim and Mia and Rex, and he smiled. He said, "Hello, children. Do you want to see what's in my bag? I have something very special for you." + +Tim and Mia were curious, and they stopped jogging. They walked towards the man, and Rex followed them. The man opened his bag, and he said, "Look, I have some candy, some toys, and some books. You can have anything you want, if you come with me." + +Tim and Mia liked candy, toys, and books, and they wanted to have some. They forgot about their task, and they forgot about their parents. They said, "Yes, please. We want to see what you have." + +The man smiled again, and he said, "Good, good. Come closer, then. Don't be shy." He grabbed Tim and Mia by their arms, and he pulled them into his bag. Rex barked and tried to bite the man, but the man kicked him away. He closed his bag, and he ran away with Tim and Mia inside. He was a bad man, and he wanted to hurt them. + +Tim and Mia screamed and cried, but no one heard them. They wished they had not stopped jogging, and they wished they had not talked to the man. They were very scared, and they did not know what would happen to them. They missed their parents, and they missed Rex. They were sorry for being curious, and they learned a hard lesson. +Tom and Lily were humble kids who lived in a small house with their mom and dad. They liked to help their parents with chores and play with their toys. One day, their mom told them that they had to sell some of their toys to get money for food and rent. Tom and Lily were sad, but they agreed to do it. + +They took their toys to the park, where they saw other kids playing and having fun. They put a sign that said "Toys for sale" and waited for someone to come. Soon, a boy came and looked at their toys. He saw a red car that Tom loved very much. He asked, "How much for this car?" + +Tom hesitated, but he knew he had to sell it. He said, "One dollar." + +The boy laughed and said, "That's too much. I'll give you ten cents." + +Tom felt angry, but he was too scared to say no. He gave the boy the car and took the ten cents. The boy ran away with the car, smiling. + +Lily saw what happened and felt sorry for Tom. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tom. We still have each other." + +Tom nodded, but he felt a big hole in his heart. He missed his car and wished he could have it back. He looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark. He realized that it was the last day of summer. He felt like he had lost everything. He wished he could go back to the happy days when he had his car and his toys and his summer. He cried and cried, and Lily cried with him. They went back to their small house, where their mom and dad were waiting for them. They tried to smile, but they were not happy. They had sold their toys, but they had not sold their sadness. +Mia and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But sometimes they fight over them. They yell and pull and cry. + +One day, Mom gives them a big box. She says it is a surprise. Mia and Ben are curious. They crawl to the box and open it. Inside, they find a big teddy bear. It is soft and brown and has a red bow. It has a tag that says "For Mia and Ben. Share and be happy." + +Mia and Ben smile. They hug the teddy bear. They say thank you to Mom. They take turns holding the teddy bear. They tell it stories and sing to it. They are gentle and kind. + +Mom watches them. She is happy. She says "Look at my sweet twins. They are playing so nicely. They have peace in their room." She gives them a kiss and a cookie. Mia and Ben say "We love you, Mom. We love our teddy bear. We love each other." They cuddle with the teddy bear and eat their cookie. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, books and crayons to have fun with. But sometimes they got bored and wanted to do something new. + +One day, they found a big marker under their bed. It was red and shiny and made a thick line. Tom had an idea. He said to Lily, "Let's mark the mattress with this. We can make a big picture of a dragon. It will be mighty and scary and cool." + +Lily liked the idea. She said, "Yes, let's do that. But we have to be quiet. Mom and Dad will be angry if they see it. They say the mattress is not for drawing on." + +So they took the marker and climbed on the mattress. They started to mark the white sheet with red lines. They made a big head, a long tail, wings, claws and teeth. They added fire and smoke and scales. They were very proud of their dragon. It looked mighty and scary and cool. + +But they did not hear Mom coming up the stairs. She opened the door and saw the mess. She gasped and said, "What have you done? You marked the mattress with a marker. That is very naughty. You ruined the sheet and the mattress. How will we clean it?" + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They did not mean to be naughty. They just wanted to have fun. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We made a dragon. It is mighty and scary and cool. Do you like it?" + +Mom did not like it. She was very angry. She said, "No, I do not like it. It is a bad dragon. You have to throw away the marker and help me wash the sheet and the mattress. And no more drawing on the mattress. Ever." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They threw away the marker and helped Mom wash the sheet and the mattress. They learned their lesson. They decided to draw on paper next time. And they hoped the dragon would not come back in their dreams. +Lila and Ben were best friends. They liked to play outside and look at the weather. Sometimes the weather was sunny and warm, and they would run and jump in the grass. Sometimes the weather was rainy and cold, and they would splash in the puddles and make mud pies. + +One day, the weather was very windy and cloudy. Lila and Ben wanted to fly a kite, but they did not have one. They asked their moms if they could make a kite, and their moms said yes. They gave them some paper, sticks, string, and glue. Lila and Ben were very happy and went to work. + +They cut the paper into a diamond shape and glued the sticks across it. They tied the string to the middle of the sticks and made a tail with some ribbons. They drew a face on the kite and gave it a name: Fluffy. They were very proud of their kite. They thought it was very intelligent and could fly high in the sky. + +They ran outside with Fluffy and looked for a good spot to fly it. They saw a big hill near their house and decided to go there. They climbed the hill and felt the wind blow on their faces. They held Fluffy and waited for the right moment. + +"Are you ready, Fluffy?" Lila asked. + +Fluffy nodded. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Lila asked. + +Ben nodded. + +"Are you ready, Lila?" Ben asked. + +Lila nodded. + +They threw Fluffy into the air and watched it soar. They cheered and laughed as they pulled the string and made Fluffy dance. They felt very happy and free. + +But then, something bad happened. The wind became stronger and louder.

Lila and Ben cried. + +They ran after Fluffy, but they could not catch it. They saw Fluffy disappear into the clouds. They felt very sad and lost. + +They sat on the hill and hugged each other.

They wanted to go on it, but there was a line of other kids. + +"Let's wait our turn," Mia said. + +"No, let's go now," Sam said. He ran to the slide and pushed a boy who was in front of him. The boy cried and told his mom. + +"Sam, that was not nice. You have to say sorry and go to the end of the line," the mom said. + +Sam did not want to say sorry or go to the end of the line. He wanted to go on the slide. He saw a hole in the side of the castle. He thought he could escape through it and get to the top of the slide. + +He crawled into the hole and followed a dark tunnel. He hoped to find the slide, but he found something else. He found a room full of gold. There were coins, rings, necklaces, and crowns. They sparkled and shone. + +"Wow, this is amazing," Sam said. He grabbed a handful of gold and put it in his pocket. He wanted to take more, but he heard a loud roar. He turned around and saw a big dragon. The dragon had red scales, yellow eyes, and sharp teeth. It was guarding the gold. + +"Who are you? What are you doing here? This is my gold. Go away or I will burn you," the dragon said. + +Sam was scared. He dropped the gold and ran back to the hole. He hoped the dragon would not follow him. He crawled out of the hole and saw Mia waiting for him. + +"Sam, where were you? I was worried. Did you go on the slide?" Mia asked. + +"No, I did not go on the slide. I found a secret room with gold and a dragon. It was not fun. It was scary. I want to go home," Sam said. + +"Gold and a dragon? That sounds like a fairy tale. Are you making it up?" Mia asked. + +"No, I am not making it up. Look, I have gold in my pocket," Sam said. He showed Mia the gold he had taken. + +Mia gasped. She touched the gold and felt that it was cold and hard. It was not regular gold. It was fake gold. It was plastic. + +"Sam, this is not real gold. This is toy gold. You must have found a play room, not a secret room. The dragon was probably a puppet or a costume. You were fooled," Mia said. + +Sam felt silly. He had been fooled by fake gold and a fake dragon. He wished he had waited his turn and gone on the slide. He learned his lesson. He said sorry to the boy he had pushed and to the mom. He gave back the toy gold and went to the end of the line. He waited for his turn and went on the slide with Mia. He had more fun on the slide than in the play room. He decided to be nice and honest from then on. +Lily loved to pray every night before she went to sleep. She would fold her hands, close her eyes, and talk to God.
