This made the other boy unhappy. + +The other boy didn't want to act like that, so he told the first boy to stop. But the first boy didn't listen, and he kept being mean. + +The second boy got so angry that he ran away. Without his friend, the first boy was sad. He realized that it wasn't nice to act in an ancient, mean way, and he was sorry for what he had done. + +The second boy soon came back and the two friends hugged. They decided to act in a different way and both smiled. From then on, they were careful to play with respect for each other. +Mia was a very cute three-year-old. She had the most beautiful sunshine hair. She loved to play outside and explore in the sunshine. + +One day, Mia was playing outside in a park when she noticed something glimmering between some leaves on the ground. She walked closer and saw something twinkling in the sun. She bent down and picked-up a tap. It was as shiny as a diamond and Mia was delighted. She rubbed it between her fingers and smiled as it glistened in the sun. + +Mia held the tap up to the light and spoke with joy, ‘Look how light it shines!’. Just then, a little bird overheard Mia’s comment. He flew down from the tree and cheerfully said, ‘Yes, Mia the tap is very shiny’. + +Mia laughed and said, ‘Yes it is shiny, but it is also so cute!’. The little bird agreed with Mia and the two of them laughed together. + +Mia pocketed the tap, said goodbye to her feathered friend and continued to explore the sunny park. She was proud of her special treasure and was sure that it would always shine in the sun. +Once there was a little girl. She was three years old and loved to learn. Every day she went outside and looked around. Her big brother taught her about east, west and north and she said the words over and over so she wouldn't forget. + +One day she went outside and looked west. She said, "What is west?" Her big brother said, "West is the direction of white clouds and bright stars." + +The little girl was so excited. She looked up at the clouds and stars and said, "They look so beautiful! I want to learn more." + +Her big brother said, "You can learn more. Come back tomorrow and I will show you more things in the west." + +The little girl smiled and went to bed. The next day she returned and asked more questions. Her big brother showed her more things and explained why they were so special. The little girl learned a lot in the west. +Bob and Amy were walking down the street together. It was a hot day and they were feeling thirsty. Suddenly, they saw a billboard at the end of the street. Bob said, "Let's go see what's on the billboard!" + +Amy got very scared. She said, "No! That's stupid. Let's go home!" Bob was confused, he said, "Why? What's wrong?" + +Amy started to panic. She said, "I heard that scary monsters live on the billboard! I don't want to meet them!" Bob smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's no such thing as monsters. It's just a silly story!" + +But Amy was so scared she kept crying. Bob thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go home. We don't have to go see the billboard." + +Amy was so happy and relieved. She smiled and said, "Thanks, Bob! You're the best!" They held hands and ran all the way home. +Once upon a time, there was a little squirrel living in the woods. He was a very selfish squirrel. Every day he would find the best nuts and only keep them for himself, never sharing with anyone else. + +One sunny day, the squirrel was gathering nuts when he heard a voice. + +"Hello, can you help me please? I'm stuck," it said. + +The squirrel looked down and saw a little bunny stuck in the mud. He thought about how he could help, but decided that he wanted to keep all the nuts for himself. + +"No," he said, and walked away. + +The little bunny was very sad and started to cry. Suddenly, he heard a noise from far away. A huge bear had noticed the bunny, and was rushing to save him! + +The bear used his strong arms and legs to help the bunny spring out of the mud. The bear said, "There you go! You are safe now." + +The little squirrel watched in awe. He realized that being selfish isn't always the best thing and that helping others can be a very nice thing to do. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Daisy. Daisy had an idea to decorate her room. She gathered everything she needed and went to work. She taped paper to the walls and put flowers on the dresser. She would be happy when it was all finished. + +Daisy's mom was in the kitchen making soup. Daisy heard the bubbling of the soup and it made her tummy rumble. She decided to go to the kitchen to help mom. Daisy stirred the soup and put in some spices. She wanted it to be ready quickly. + +As Daisy was stirring, her mom noticed that she seemed impatient. Her mom said, "Daisy, don't worry. The soup will be ready soon." Daisy smiled and kept stirring. + +When the soup was done, Daisy and her mom sat down to eat. It was yummy. After dinner, Daisy went back to her room and finished decorating. It was beautiful. She was so proud of her hard work. +Once upon a time there was a girl named Mia. She lived in a big house with her mom. + +One day Mia was playing in her bedroom when she noticed something strange. On the wall there was a flexible strip of something. + +Mia wondered what it was, so she asked her mom. Her mom said it was put there to keep them safe. + +Mia didn't know what she meant, but she decided to touch it. As soon as she touched the flexible strip, a mean monster appeared! + +The monster growled. It was so scary that Mia wanted to hide. She tried to get away, but the monster blocked her way. + +Mia knew she was in trouble. She begged the monster to leave, but it wouldn't. Just when Mia thought things couldn't get any worse, the monster grabbed her and dragged her away! + +The monster had won and Mia was never seen again. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a goat. She was very useful - she gave milk to her farmer every day. One day, the farmer saw the goat tearing up the grass. "No, goat!" the farmer said. He was worried that the goat would ruin all of the grass in the field. + +The goat just looked at the farmer with her big eyes. She didn't understand why she couldn't tear up the grass. The farmer sighed, and looked around for something useful for the goat. He found some sunflowers and offered them to the goat. + +The goat was so happy! She ate the sunflowers, and was so glad not to have to tear up the grass. The farmer smiled and said, "I'm glad that sunflowers make you so happy. Let's go for a walk and look for more!" + +So, the goat and the farmer went for a walk together. The goat was so happy, and the farmer was happy too - the grass was safe and his goat was content. And they all lived happily ever after. +Once upon a time, there lived a little girl who before bedtime every night asked her mom for a bedtime story. + +One night, the story was about a gem. It was a special gem, beautiful and shiny. The girl asked her mom what it tasted like, and her mom said that it tasted like strawberries! + +The next day, the girl went on an adventure to find a gem of her own. Everywhere she went, she heard a noisy sound. It was a noisy parrot flying around in the sky! + +The girl followed the parrot and eventually it led her to the gem she was looking for. She carefully picked it up, and took a taste. It tasted just like her mom said — sweet and delicious like strawberries! + +The girl was very excited and happy to have found her own gem. From that day on, the girl promised to take good care of her gem. +Once there was a bad man who wanted to travel around the world. He was very envious of all the places he wanted to go. He had heard a rumor about a very special skull that could help him go places he'd never been before. + +He set off to find the special skull. It wasn't easy, but he searched and searched until finally he found it. He was so excited he could barely contain himself! He put the skull on a chain around his neck and immediately it began to glow a bright blue. + +"This is it!" the man shouted, feeling extra envious. He stepped outside, ready to travel the world. As soon as he did, he felt the skull tugging at him. He had no choice but to follow the skull's lead. He was pulled down the street, around the corner, and eventually into a dark alley. + +The man was scared. He heard voices and he saw a group of people standing in the shadows. One man stepped out of the shadows, holding a knife. "That's my skull," he growled, pointing the knife at the man. + +The man was filled with fear. He tried to run away, but the skull dragged him back. The man with the knife laughed. "You thought you could just take something of mine? You thought you could travel the world for free?" He lunged forward, stabbing the man in the chest. The man fell to the ground, +Once there was a fox and a squirrel, and they were very good friends. One day they went on an adventure together. +The fox said to the squirrel, "Let's peek inside this dark cave and see what we can find." +Cautiously, they entered, and the fox spotted something in the corner. It was a bulb, but it wasn't like any bulb they'd ever seen before. +The fox said, "This bulb looks different than any other bulb. Let's take it with us." +But the squirrel said, "No, we should leave it here. If we bring it with us, other animals will not have a chance to find it and be as surprised as we were. It's better to take nothing at all than to take something away from someone who might need it." +The fox agreed and they left the cave, feeling happy that they had made the right decision. +The moral of the story is that it is sometimes better to share and help others, instead of taking something away. +Mabel was having fun jumping through her hoop in the backyard when she saw something strange floating in the nearby river. It looked like a cloud but it was made of rainbow colors. She stopped jumping and went closer to take a better look. + +"Oh my!" she exclaimed. "What is that?" + +Just then, a kind old man appeared. His white beard and humble eyes made him look friendly. + +"That is a pot of magic," he explained. "It is made by mixing all of the colors of the rainbow." + +Mabel was so intrigued. She asked the old man if she could have the pot of magic and he said yes. + +"Mix a bit of the magic each day," the old man said. "And your dreams will come true." + +Mabel thanked the old man and ran back to the backyard with the pot of rainbow magic. She knew just what to do. She mixed a tiny bit of the magic every day and soon her dreams started to come true. +Once upon a time, there was a small boy called Bob. Bob lived with his Mama and Papa, who both loved him very much. Every day, Mama and Papa taught Bob something new. + +Today, Mama taught Bob to wait. Bob learned to wait before he had his dinner, and to always wait for Mama and Papa before running off to play. + +After dinner, Papa took Bob for a walk in the village. The village was so charming, with little houses and lots of pretty flowers growing in the gardens. When they found a lovely spot by the river, Papa taught Bob to skip stones. + +Bob was so excited to show Mama what he had learned. Papa said to him, "Remember to wait until it is time before you tell Mama what you have learned, okay Bob?" Bob nodded eagerly and said, "Okay!" + +When it was time to go home, Bob ran out to find Mama. He was so proud to tell her all the things he had learned today, and Mama was very proud too. + +"You have learned so much today, Bob," she said. Together they walked home and enjoyed the charming village in the sunshine. +Mandy and her dad were walking by a river outside their country. Mandy was so amazed by the beauty of the nature around her. She pointed to the river and asked her dad, "Why does the river flow?" + +Her dad smiled and said, "It's because of the wind. It pushes the water and makes it move." + +Mandy was so curious that she asked, "Can I act like the wind and push the river too?" + +Her dad said, "No sweetie, that's a very foolish thing to do. Countries have laws that keep everyone safe and this is one of them. You have to be careful and obey the laws, okay?" + +Mandy nodded and said, "Okay, I won't do it!" +Mama and Papa were making coffee in the kitchen. Mama put the coffee in a cup and said to Papa, "Let's fold the coffee with this spoon." Papa smiled and said, "Ok, let's do it."

It was full of colorful plants, strange creatures, and fun places to explore. "This is amazing!" exclaimed Jim. Maggie and Jim decided to explore the planet and have an adventurous day. They gathered many different things on their journey. + +When it was time to go home, Maggie and Jim made sure to gather all the things they had collected.

She asked the voice, "Who are you?". + +The voice said, "I'm a friendly rainbow. If you take my hand, I can show you how to make other shapes. We can be friends and you won't be lonely." + +The shape was happy and she held the rainbow's hand. Together, they made many fun shapes. The shape was no longer lonely as she now had a very special friend to trust. The end. +There was once a busy cabinet. It was filled with lots of things and it was never still! One day, the cabinet was warned. The warning came from a little mouse who saw how busy the cabinet was. He wanted to keep the cabinet safe and not have anything bad happen to it. + +The mouse warned the cabinet to be careful. The cabinet tried to be more careful, but it was still too busy. The mouse saw this and decided to help it. He scurried around and organised the things in the cabinet. It gave the cabinet more space and it didn't seem quite so busy anymore. The cabinet thanked the mouse for helping it. + +From then on, the cabinet was much calmer. It still stayed busy, but it was in control. The mouse stayed and watched over the cabinet to make sure nothing bad happened. The cabinet was glad it listened to the mouse and was grateful for the help. +Once upon a time there were two friends called Sam and Tom.

The motor was so surprised that someone was willing to help him. He was no longer grumpy and said, "Yes, please. I really need help to get back home." + +The little girl said, "I know just what to do. Hold onto my handlebars, and we can ride back together!" She jumped onto her bicycle and the motor happily held onto her handlebars. Together they rode back to the motor's house, and the motor was so thankful to have found a friend. + +The motor was no longer grumpy. He waved goodbye to the little girl, who beamed with happiness at being able to help out her new friend, and they both went on their way. +Once upon a time, there was a brave mouse. He wanted to go on an adventure, and was determined to succeed. He scooted and scampered through a deep, dark woods, making his way to his destination. But there was a threat - an owl was determined to stop him! The mouse thought really hard. How could he succeed? Then he had an original idea. He quickly found a big leaf, and made it into a cape. He pinned the cape on, and zoomed away from the owl! He scurried and dodged until he was safe. He had succeeded! He continued his journey, and later returned home to tell his family about his wonderful adventure. +Tom was a brave boy. He wanted to do something really hard. He wanted to make a hoop.

The girl asked her father, "What is happening?". He said, "I'm not sure, but stay back." + +Suddenly, the liquid became bigger and moved very quickly. The girl's father tried to protect the girl, but the liquid was too strong. The mysterious yellow liquid swallowed them both and nothing ever happened to them again. +One day, a little girl was walking down the street, carrying a heavy case. She was being very careful not to drop it. Suddenly, she heard a strange noise coming from the case. It sounded like something was trying to get out. The girl was scared, but she was brave. She squatted down and slowly opened the case. + +Inside, she could see two little eyes peeking out. She gasped in surprise. Then the little girl realized that it was just a tiny, fluffy puppy. It was so cute! The puppy whimpered and the girl felt bad. She wanted to help it. + +The girl made sure to be very careful, so she took the puppy out of the case and gave it a big squeeze. The puppy was so happy to be out and it started to wag its tail. She knew she'd made the right decision. + +From then on, the little girl and her puppy were best friends.

But one day, a prince hears her singing and climbs up her hair. He wants to help her escape. Do you want to know what happens next?" + +Sara nods again. She wants to know what happens next. She is curious and excited. She listens to the tutor as he reads the story. She imagines the tower, the hair, the witch, and the prince. She likes the story. She thinks Rapunzel is brave and the prince is kind. She hopes they will be happy. + +The tutor finishes the story and says, "The end. Did you like the story?" Sara says, "Yes, I liked it very much. Thank you for reading it to me." The tutor says, "You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Do you want to draw something from the story?" Sara says, "Yes, I do. Can I draw Rapunzel and the prince?" The tutor says, "Of course you can. You are very creative. I'm sure you will make a beautiful picture." He gives Sara some paper and crayons. Sara starts to draw. She is happy. She likes fairy tales. She likes her tutor. She likes to learn new things. +Lily and Ben were having breakfast with their mom and dad. They liked to eat toast with jam and drink milk. Mom gave them each a slice of toast and a spoon of jam. Lily spread her jam all over her toast, but Ben only put a little jam on the corner of his toast. + +"Why don't you put more jam on your toast, Ben?" Lily asked. "Jam is yummy and sweet." + +"I don't like jam very much," Ben said. "It is sticky and messy." + +Lily shrugged and took a big bite of her toast. She smiled and licked her lips. She saw a bird outside the window and waved at it. The bird flew away. + +"Look, Lily, there is a bus!" Ben said, pointing to the street. He liked to watch the buses and cars go by. He waved at the bus, hoping the driver would wave back. But the driver did not see him. He looked grumpy and tired. + +"Maybe he is having a bad day," Mom said. "Maybe he needs some jam to cheer him up." + +Lily and Ben giggled. They finished their breakfast and helped Mom clear the table. Then they put on their coats and hats and went outside with Dad. They were going to the park to play. + +"Bye, Mom!" they said, waving at her. + +"Bye, my sweeties!" Mom said, waving back. "Have fun and be good!" + +Lily and Ben hugged Mom and then ran to the car with Dad. They were happy and excited. They hoped to see more birds and buses and maybe some friends at the park. They liked to wave at everyone and everything. They thought waving was fun and friendly. They did not mind if some people were grumpy and did not wave back. They had each other and their jam. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide, and a sandbox. But their favorite thing was the drain. The drain was a big hole in the ground where the rainwater went. Sometimes they would drop sticks or stones or leaves into the drain and watch them disappear. + +One day, they were playing near the drain when they heard a strange noise. It sounded like a growl or a roar. They looked at each other and wondered what it was. + +"Maybe it's a monster," Lily said. + +"Maybe it's a lion," Ben said. + +"Maybe it's a dinosaur," Lily said. + +They were scared, but also curious. They crept closer to the drain and peeked inside. + +"Hello?" Ben called. + +"Who's there?" a voice answered. + +Lily and Ben gasped. There was someone in the drain! + +"Who are you?" Lily asked. + +"I'm Bob," the voice said. "I live in the drain." + +Lily and Ben were surprised. They had never met anyone who lived in the drain. + +"Why do you live in the drain?" Ben asked. + +"Because it's cozy and quiet and safe," Bob said. "And because I'm not ordinary. I'm different." + +Lily and Ben wanted to see what Bob looked like. They asked him to come out of the drain. + +"OK, but don't be scared," Bob said. "And don't mind me. I'm friendly." + +Bob crawled out of the drain and Lily and Ben saw him. He was not a monster, or a lion, or a dinosaur. He was a boy, like them, but he had green skin, yellow eyes, and horns on his head. + +Lily and Ben were shocked, but they did not run away. They looked at Bob and smiled. + +"Hi, Bob," they said. "We're Lily and Ben. Do you want to play with us?" + +Bob smiled back. He was happy. He had never had friends before. + +"Yes, please," he said. "I would love to play with you." + +And so they played together, and had fun, and became friends. And they learned that being different was not bad, and being ordinary was not boring. And they never minded the drain again. +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play and eat pasta. One day, they have pasta for lunch. Mom puts some cheese on their pasta. Tom likes cheese, but Anna does not. + +"Yuck! I do not want cheese on my pasta!" Anna says. She pushes her plate away. + +"More cheese for me!" Tom says. He takes some cheese from Anna's plate and puts it on his pasta. + +"Hey! That is my cheese!" Anna says. She tries to take it back. + +"No, it is mine!" Tom says. He holds his plate tight. + +They start to fight. They pull and push each other. They make a lot of noise. + +Mom hears them. She comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess. She sees the pasta and cheese on the floor, on the table, on the chairs, on the walls. + +"Stop it! Stop it right now!" Mom says. She is angry. "Look what you did! You wasted the food! You made a big mess! You are bad!" + +She takes their plates away. She tells them to go to their room. She shuts the door. + +Tom and Anna are sad. They do not like to fight. They do not like to make Mom angry. They do not like to be in their room. + +They look at each other. They say sorry. They hug. + +They see a black cat outside the window. The cat is cute. It has green eyes. It meows. + +"Look, a cat!" Tom says. + +"Can we play with the cat?" Anna says. + +They open the window. They call the cat. The cat comes to them. It jumps on the window sill. It lets them pet it. It purrs. + +Tom and Anna are happy. They forget about the pasta and the cheese. They forget about the mess. They forget about Mom. + +They play with the cat. They give it a name. They call it Pasta. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big stone near the pond. It was round and smooth and shiny. They wanted to seat on it and look at the water and the ducks. + +They ran to the stone and climbed on it. But the stone was not a stone. It was a turtle. The turtle did not like to be sat on. It moved and shook and snapped its mouth. Tim and Sam were scared. They fell off the turtle and into the pond. They got wet and cold and muddy. + +A lady saw them and helped them out. She gave them a towel and a hug. She said, "You poor boys, you should not seat on a turtle. It can hurt you and itself. Next time, look before you seat." Tim and Sam said sorry to the lady and to the turtle. They learned their lesson. They never sat on a turtle again. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a big fence. The fence has a hole. Tom and Anna can go through the hole and see the other side. + +One day, Tom and Anna go to the park. They see a dog on the other side of the fence. The dog is big and brown. It has a collar and a leash. Tom likes dogs. He wants to pet the dog. + +"Can I pet the dog?" Tom asks Anna. + +"I don't know," Anna says. "Maybe the dog has an owner. Maybe the dog is angry." + +Tom does not listen. He goes through the hole and walks to the dog. The dog sees Tom and barks. The dog is angry. It does not want Tom to pet it. + +"Go away!" the dog says. "This is my place. You are not my friend." + +Tom is scared. He runs back to the hole. But the hole is too small. Tom is stuck. He cannot go back to the park. He cannot go to the dog. He cries. + +"Help me!" Tom says. "I am stuck. I want to go back to the park." + +Anna hears Tom. She is worried. She runs to the hole. She sees Tom. She tries to pull him out. But she is too weak. She cannot pull him out. + +"Help me!" Anna says. "Tom is stuck. I want to help him." + +A man hears Anna. He is the owner of the dog. He walks to the hole. He sees Tom and Anna. He is angry. + +"What are you doing here?" the man says. "This is my place. You are not allowed here. You are making my dog angry." + +"Please help us," Anna says. "Tom is stuck. He cannot go back to the park. He is sorry. He just wanted to pet your dog." + +The man looks at Tom. He sees that he is scared and sorry. He feels sorry for him. He pulls him out of the hole. He puts him back in the park. + +"Thank you," Tom says. "I am sorry. I will not go through the hole again. I will not bother your dog again." + +The man nods. He is not angry anymore. He pets his dog. He walks away. + +Tom and Anna hug. They are happy. They are safe. They go back to play in the park. They do not go near the fence anymore. They have learned their lesson. +Anna likes to play in the garden. She has a ball, a doll and a bike. She likes to ride her bike around the flowers and trees. One day, she sees something new on the roof of her house. It is a bird. A big, purple bird. + +"Hello, bird!" Anna says. "What are you doing on the roof?" + +The bird looks at Anna and says, "Hello, girl! I am looking for a nest. I flew a long way from my home. Do you have a nest for me?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She does not have a nest, but she has a doll house. She says, "I have a doll house. It is not a nest, but it is cozy and warm. You can stay there if you want." + +The bird flaps its wings and says, "Thank you, girl! You are very kind. Can I see your doll house?" + +Anna nods and says, "Yes, come with me. I will show you." She runs to the garden and picks up her doll house. She puts it on the grass and opens the door. The bird flies down and lands next to her. It peeks inside the doll house and says, "This is a nice doll house. It has a bed, a table and a chair. Can I sleep on the bed?" + +Anna smiles and says, "Yes, you can. It is your doll house now. You can sleep on the bed, eat on the table and sit on the chair. You can play with me and my toys. We can be friends." + +The bird nods and says, "I like that. You are a good friend. What is your name?" + +Anna says, "My name is Anna. What is your name?" + +The bird says, "My name is Lila. I am a purple parrot. Nice to meet you, Anna." + +Anna says, "Nice to meet you, Lila. You are a beautiful parrot. Welcome to my garden." +Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have a lot of fun. But their favorite thing to do is to spin on the round thing. The round thing is big and red and goes fast when they push it. + +One day, they go to the park and see a new sign. The sign says: "Do not spin on the round thing. It is broken. It will make you sick." Sara and Ben are sad. They want to spin on the round thing. They do not believe the sign. + +They look around and see no one. They run to the round thing and climb on it. They push it hard and it starts to spin. They laugh and scream and feel the wind in their hair. They spin faster and faster and faster. + +But then, something bad happens. The round thing makes a loud noise and stops. Sara and Ben feel dizzy and sick. They fall off the round thing and lie on the ground. They feel like they are still spinning. They close their eyes and groan. + +They hear a voice. It is the park man. He is angry. He says: "I told you not to spin on the round thing. It is broken. It will make you sick. Now you have to go to the doctor. And you have to pay for the round thing. It is very expensive." + +Sara and Ben are scared. They open their eyes and see the park man. He is holding a big wrench. He looks at the round thing and shakes his head. He says: "You see this? This is the river. The river is inside the round thing. It makes it spin. But you spun it too hard and broke it. Now the river is out. It is all over the ground. It is sour and dirty and smells bad. You have to clean it up." + +Sara and Ben look at the ground and see the river. It is brown and green and yellow. It bubbles and hisses and stinks. They feel sick again. They say: "We are sorry, park man. We did not know. We just wanted to spin on the round thing. We like to spin. We will not do it again. Please do not be mad at us." + +The park man sighs. He says: "I know you like to spin. But you have to be careful. The round thing is not a toy. It is a machine. It needs to be fixed. And you need to be safe. Come on, I will take you to the doctor. And then you will help me clean up the river. Maybe then you will learn your lesson." + +Sara and Ben nod. They get up and follow the park man. They hold hands and walk slowly. They do not want to spin anymore. They just want to feel better. They think: "Spinning is fun. But not on the round thing. The round thing is bad. It has a sour river. We will never spin on the round thing again." +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play with their toys. Lila has a doll and Tom has a car. They share their toys sometimes, but they also own their toys. They do not like it when someone takes their toys without asking. + +One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and a swing. They want to try them. Lila puts her doll on a bench and Tom puts his car on the grass. They run to the slide and take turns. They have fun. + +But then, they see a boy. He is distant. He is not their friend. He sees their toys. He walks to the bench and the grass. He picks up the doll and the car. He smiles. He runs away with the toys. + +Lila and Tom see him. They are angry and sad. They shout at him. + +"Hey, stop! Those are our toys! You cannot take them! They are ours!" + +The boy does not listen. He keeps running. Lila and Tom run after him. They want their toys back. + +Their moms see them. They are worried. They follow them. They catch up with the boy. They tell him to give back the toys. They tell him that he is wrong. He is sorry. He gives back the toys. He says he is sorry. + +Lila and Tom take their toys. They hug them. They are happy. They say thank you to their moms. They say sorry to the boy. They ask him if he wants to play with them. He says yes. He is happy. They go to the swing. They share their toys. They are friends. +Sara was hungry. She wanted a sandwich. She went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. She saw cheese, ham, lettuce and bread. She took them out and put them on the table. + +She took two slices of bread and put cheese and ham on one of them. She looked for the lettuce, but she could not find it. She searched the table, the fridge, the floor, but no lettuce. She was sad. She liked lettuce on her sandwich. + +She heard a noise from the living room. She went to see what it was. She saw her brother, Ben, on the couch. He was eating something. She went closer and saw that it was lettuce. He had taken it from the kitchen. He was making a mess. + +She was angry. She said, "Ben, that is my lettuce! Give it back! I need it for my sandwich!" + +Ben looked at her and said, "No, it is mine! I like lettuce! It is crunchy and green!" + +They started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The lettuce fell on the floor. The cheese and ham fell on the floor. The bread fell on the floor. The sandwich was ruined. + +They stopped fighting and looked at the mess. They felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry. We were bad. We wasted the food. We made a mess." + +They hugged and said, "We love each other. We are sorry." + +They went back to the kitchen and cleaned up the mess. They found more cheese, ham, lettuce and bread. They made a new sandwich. They cut it in half and shared it. It was a perfect sandwich. They were happy. They ate it and smiled. +Tim and Mia were twins who liked to play in the snow. They made a snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him a name: Bob. + +"Bob is our friend," Tim said. "He is happy in the snow." + +"Yes, he is," Mia said. "But what if he gets cold at night?" + +Tim thought for a moment. He had an idea. "Let's take him inside the house. He can sit by the fire and be warm." + +Mia nodded. They rolled Bob to the door and pushed him inside. They put him on a rug near the chimney. The fire was huge and bright. + +"Bob, you are safe now," Tim said. "You will not suffer from the cold." + +Mia smiled. She hugged Bob. "You are cozy now. You will not melt." + +But they did not know that Bob was made of snow. And snow cannot stay near a fire. Bob started to drip and shrink. His hat fell off. His scarf slid down. His carrot nose dropped to the floor. + +Tim and Mia heard a noise. They ran to the chimney. They saw Bob. He was very small and wet. He was not a snowman anymore. + +"Bob!" Tim cried. "What happened to you?" + +"Bob!" Mia cried. "You are gone!" + +They were very sad. They had lost their friend. They did not understand why. They did not know that snow and fire do not mix. They learned a hard lesson that day. +One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big bush with red berries on it. Mom said, "Do not eat those berries. They are wild and not good for you." But Lily and Ben did not listen. They thought the berries looked yummy and sweet. + +They picked some berries and put them in their mouths. But they were not yummy and sweet. They were sour and bitter and made their tongues hurt. Lily and Ben spit out the berries and made faces. They felt sick and sad. They wished they had listened to Mom. + +Mom saw them and came over. She said, "What did you do? Did you eat the wild berries?" Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. We are sorry. We regret it." Mom said, "I told you not to eat them. They are bad for you. Come, let me give you some water and a hug. Next time, listen to me, okay?" Lily and Ben said, "Okay, Mom. We love you." Mom said, "I love you too. But no more wild berries, okay?" Lily and Ben said, "Okay, Mom. No more wild berries." +Tim and Anna like to play hide and seek. They take turns to hide and seek in the house. Tim is hiding now. He finds a good spot under the bed. He is very quiet and still. He hopes Anna will not find him. + +Anna is seeking. She looks in the closet, in the bathroom, in the kitchen. She does not see Tim. She wonders where he is. She goes to the bedroom. She sees something under the bed. It looks like pants. She thinks it is Tim. + +She walks to the bed and pulls the pants. But they are not Tim. They are dad's pants. Dad is sleeping on the bed. He wakes up and screams. "Who is pulling my pants?" + +Tim hears dad scream. He is scared. He comes out from under the bed. He screams too. "Sorry, dad!" + +Anna sees Tim. She laughs. She says, "I found you, Tim! You were hidden under the bed!" + +Dad is not angry. He is sleepy. He says, "It's okay, kids. But please don't pull my pants again. And be quiet. I need to rest." + +Tim and Anna say, "Okay, dad. We are sorry." They hug dad and go to play somewhere else. They still like to play hide and seek. But they do not hide under the bed anymore. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. One morning, they wake up early and go to the kitchen. They see a big bowl of food on the table. It is not their usual food. It is green and slimy and smells bad. + +"Yuck! What is this?" Sara asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a new food. Do you want to try it?" Ben says. + +Sara shakes her head. "No, thank you. It looks gross. I want my cereal and milk." + +Ben shrugs. "I want to try it. Maybe it is yummy. I am brave and curious." + +He takes a spoon and scoops some of the green food. He puts it in his mouth and chews. He makes a funny face and spits it out. He coughs and gags. + +"Blech! This is awful! It is bitter and sour and spicy! It hurts my tongue and throat!" He cries. + +Sara runs to him and gives him a glass of water. She hugs him and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?" + +Ben nods and drinks the water. He says, "I'm okay, Sara. Thank you. You were right. This is not a good food. I should have listened to you." + +They hear their mom and dad come into the kitchen. They look at the bowl of food and laugh. + +"Oops! We forgot to put away our salad dressing from last night. We made it with spinach, vinegar, mustard and pepper. It is not for breakfast. It is for salad. We are sorry, kids. We have your cereal and milk ready for you. Come and eat." + +Sara and Ben smile and go to their seats. They eat their cereal and milk and feel better. They learn a lesson. They learn to be careful with new foods. They learn to trust their eyes and nose and not just their mouth. They learn to listen to their sister and brother. They learn that unusual is not always good. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a laser. It makes a bright light and a funny sound. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily says. "It is a laser. We can play with it." + +"Yes, let's play with it!" Ben says. "We can pretend we are space heroes. We can save the world from aliens." + +They take turns to hold the laser. They point it at the wall, the floor, and the ceiling. They make noises like "zap, zap, zap". They have fun. + +But then, Lily's mom comes in. She sees the laser. She is not happy. + +"Lily, Ben, what are you doing?" she asks. "That is not a toy. That is a tool. It can be dangerous. You can hurt your eyes or make a fire. Give it to me, please." + +Lily and Ben are scared. They did not know the laser was a tool. They did not want to hurt anyone or anything. They are sorry. + +"Sorry, mom," Lily says. "We did not know. We just wanted to play." + +"Sorry, mom," Ben says. "We did not mean to be bad. We just liked the laser." + +Lily's mom is not angry. She is glad they are polite. She takes the laser and puts it away. She gives them another toy. It is a puzzle. It has pictures of space and aliens. + +"Here, you can play with this," she says. "It is a puzzle. It is safe and fun. You can still pretend you are space heroes. You can make your own story." + +Lily and Ben smile. They say thank you. They start to play with the puzzle. They are happy. They are still friends. +Lily and Tom were playing in the backyard. They liked to build things with wood and nails. They had a big box of nails that they found in the garage. + +"Look, I made a house for my doll!" Lily said, showing Tom her creation. It had a roof, a door and a window. + +"That's very good, Lily!" Tom said. "Can I help you?" + +"Yes, please. We need to protect the house from the wind and the rain. Can you find more nails and wood?" + +Tom nodded and ran to the garage. He came back with some nails and a long piece of wood. He gave them to Lily and they started to work. + +They were very busy and did not see the big dog that came into the backyard. The dog was curious and smelled the nails. He liked to chew on metal things. He picked up the box of nails with his mouth and shook it. + +"Hey, stop that!" Lily shouted, seeing the dog. "Those are our nails! Give them back!" + +The dog growled and ran away with the box. Lily and Tom chased him, but he was too fast. They were sad and angry. They had no more nails to finish their house. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog!" Tom yelled. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was their dad, who came home from work. He saw the dog with the box of nails and honked his horn. The dog was scared and dropped the box. He ran away, barking. + +"Dad, dad, you saved our nails!" Lily and Tom said, running to their dad. They hugged him and thanked him. + +"You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you're okay. What are you doing with those nails?" their dad asked. + +"We're building a house for Lily's doll. We want to protect it from the wind and the rain," Tom said. + +"That sounds like a fun project. Do you need any help?" their dad asked. + +"Yes, please. We need more wood and a hammer," Lily said. + +"Okay, let's go to the garage and see what we can find. I'm sure you'll make a very successful house," their dad said. + +Lily and Tom smiled and followed their dad. They were happy and excited. They loved to build things with their dad. They knew he would protect them and their nails. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Tom has a new toy. It is a belt with a big buckle. The buckle is shiny and has a star on it. + +"Look at my belt, Sue!" Tom says. "It is fine. I got it from the shop." + +Sue likes the belt too. She wants to have it. She asks Tom, "Can I play with your belt, Tom? Please?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes his belt, but he also likes Sue. He has an idea. He says, "You can play with my belt, Sue. But you have to give me something for it. You have to sell me something." + +Sue thinks too. She looks at her toys. She has a doll, a ball, a book, and a hat. She likes all her toys, but she likes the belt more. She decides to sell Tom her hat. She says, "OK, Tom. I will sell you my hat. It is red and soft. You can wear it on your head." + +Tom agrees. He likes the hat. He says, "OK, Sue. I will sell you my belt. It is black and hard. You can wear it on your waist." + +They trade their toys. They are both happy. They say, "Thank you, friend!" + +They play with their new toys. They have fun. They are fine. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big red ball. They kick the ball and run after it. They have fun. + +But Sara is tired. She wants to go home. She says to Tom, "I am tired. Can we go home?" + +Tom says, "No, Sara. I want to play more. Please, stay with me." + +Sara says, "But I am very tired. And my mom will be angry if I am late. Please, let's go home." + +Tom says, "OK, Sara. But promise me we will play again tomorrow. Promise?" + +Sara says, "OK, Tom. I promise. We will play again tomorrow. But now we have to go home." + +They take the big red ball and walk to their homes. They say bye to each other. They are still friends. They will play again tomorrow. +Lily liked to write poems. She wrote them on paper with her crayons. She wrote about her toys, her cat, and her mom. She was very proud of her poems. She wanted to keep them in a special box. + +One day, she found a weird box in the attic. It was big and brown and had a lock. She thought it was a good place to keep her poems. She put them all inside and closed the lock. She was happy. + +But she did not know that the box was a trap. It belonged to a mean witch who lived in the attic. The witch liked to steal poems from children and turn them into frogs. She heard Lily close the lock and smiled. She said a magic word and the box opened. + +The witch took out Lily's poems and laughed. She said another magic word and the poems turned into frogs. The frogs jumped out of the box and croaked. Lily was scared and sad. She wanted her poems back. + +But it was too late. The witch grabbed Lily and put her in the box. She said a third magic word and the box closed. She said a fourth magic word and the box turned into a rock. She rolled the rock to a corner and forgot about it. + +Lily was stuck in the rock. She could not get out. She could not write poems. She could not see her toys, her cat, or her mom. She was very unhappy. The end. +Lila and Ben were at the beach with their mom. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Sometimes they saw fish and crabs in the water. But they were careful not to go too deep, because mom said there could be jellyfish. Jellyfish were bad. They could sting and hurt. + +One day, Lila saw something shiny and pink in the water. She thought it was a pretty shell. She ran to get it, but Ben stopped her. + +"No, Lila, don't touch that! That's a jellyfish!" he shouted. + +But Lila did not listen. She was curious and wanted the shiny thing. She reached out her hand and touched the jellyfish. It felt soft and slimy. But then it stung her. Lila screamed and dropped the jellyfish. Her hand was red and swollen. It hurt a lot. + +Mom heard Lila scream and ran to her. She saw the jellyfish and the wound. She was scared and angry. + +"Lila, why did you touch the jellyfish? I told you they were bad! Now we have to go to the doctor!" she said. + +Lila was confused and sad. She did not know the jellyfish was bad. She just wanted the shiny thing. She cried and said sorry to mom and Ben. But mom was still mad and Ben was still worried. They left the beach and went to the car. Lila did not have fun that day. She learned a hard lesson. She wished she had listened to Ben. +Lily liked to dance. She danced at home, at school, and at the park. She had a pink dress and a pink bow that she wore when she danced. She felt fancy and happy. + +One day, she saw a dancer on TV. The dancer had a shiny dress and shiny shoes. She danced with a man who had a shiny suit and a shiny hat. They danced very fast and very well. Lily wanted to be like the dancer. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, can I have a shiny dress and shiny shoes like the dancer?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Lily, you are a beautiful dancer. You don't need a shiny dress and shiny shoes to dance. You have your own style and your own talent. You are fancy and happy with what you have." + +Lily thought about what her mom said.

Ben said. + +They pulled and tugged on the comb, but neither of them would yield. They started to yell and cry. + +Their mother heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting over the comb and was not happy. + +"Stop it, both of you!" she said. "Why are you being so selfish and rude? Don't you know that sharing is caring?" + +She took the comb from them and explained that it belonged to their neighbor, Mrs. Lee, who had lost it while gardening. She said they should return it to her and apologize. + +Sara and Ben felt ashamed and sorry. They followed their mother to Mrs. Lee's house and gave her the comb.

On the shelf, there are many books and games. + +One day, Tom and Lily want to play a new game. They see a big box on the shelf. It is white and has a picture of a castle on it. They think it is a puzzle. They want to lift the box and open it. + +"Can you help me lift the box?" Tom asks Lily. + +"OK, let's try," Lily says. They both grab the box and pull. But the box is too heavy. They cannot lift it. + +"Ouch, it hurts!" Tom says. He drops the box and rubs his hand. + +"Sorry, Tom. Maybe we need to ask Mom or Dad to help us," Lily says. + +They run to the living room, where Mom and Dad are watching TV.

You are slow and weak." + +Lily ran after him. She tried to get her comb back. But Ben was faster and smarter. He hid behind a tree and threw the comb over the fence. He said, "Bye bye, comb. You are gone forever." + +Lily saw the comb fly over the fence. She felt very sad and cried. She said, "My comb, my comb. I want my comb back. It was a gift from my mom. I love my comb." + +A teacher saw Lily crying and came to her. She asked, "What is wrong, Lily? Why are you crying?" + +Lily told the teacher what Ben did.

And you can play together and make up stories with the cop car. How does that sound?" + +Tim and Jen nod and hug Mom. They say: "Thank you, Mom. We are sorry for fighting. We love Grandpa and the cop car. We will be reliable and share and have fun!" + +Mom kisses them and says: "I am proud of you, Tim and Jen. You are good twins and good kids. Now, go and play with your cop car and enjoy it!" + +Tim and Jen smile and run to their cop car. They request to play with it when it is their turn. They say thank you and sorry when they need to.

She is happy that Tim and Jen are learning to share and be reliable. She thinks Grandpa is a very wise and generous man. She hopes he will visit them soon and see how well they play with his gift. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the park. They saw many animals there. They saw birds, dogs, cats, and squirrels. But their favorite animal was the kangaroo. The kangaroo was big and brown. It had long legs and a long tail. It could hop very high and fast. + +One day, Ben and Lily saw the kangaroo near the pond. The pond had water and fish. The kangaroo was thirsty. It wanted to drink some water. But it was not careful. It slipped and fell into the pond. The water was deep and cold. The kangaroo was scared and wet. It could not hop out. It was helpless. + +Ben and Lily saw the kangaroo in trouble. They wanted to help. They ran to the pond. They found a big stick. They gave the stick to the kangaroo. The kangaroo grabbed the stick with its paws. Ben and Lily pulled the stick. They helped the kangaroo out of the pond. The kangaroo was happy and grateful. It thanked Ben and Lily with a big hug. + +Ben and Lily took the kangaroo to their home. They wanted to bathe it. They filled a tub with warm water and soap. They washed the kangaroo gently. They dried it with a towel. They gave it some food and water. The kangaroo felt clean and cozy. It liked Ben and Lily very much. + +Ben and Lily's mom came home. She saw the kangaroo in the tub. She was surprised and amused. She asked Ben and Lily where they found the kangaroo. They told her the story. She was proud of them. She said they were very brave and kind. She called the zoo. She asked them to come and get the kangaroo. She said the kangaroo needed a safe and big place to live. + +The zoo people came. They thanked Ben and Lily for saving the kangaroo. They said they would take good care of it. They invited Ben and Lily to visit the kangaroo anytime. They gave them a ticket and a toy kangaroo. Ben and Lily said goodbye to the kangaroo. They hugged it and kissed it. They told it they would see it again. The kangaroo nodded and smiled. It hopped into the zoo truck. It waved to Ben and Lily. Ben and Lily waved back. They were happy. They had a new friend. +Tommy loved planes. He wanted to be a pilot when he grew up. He had many toy planes and books about planes. He always asked his mom and dad to take him to the airport to watch the planes take off and land. + +One day, his mom and dad surprised him with a special gift. They had tickets to fly on a big plane to visit his grandma. Tommy was so excited. He packed his toy planes and books in his backpack. He put on his pilot hat and sunglasses. He was ready to go. + +At the airport, Tommy saw many planes and pilots. He wanted to talk to them and see their planes. But his mom and dad told him to behave and stay close to them. They said they had to check in, go through security, and wait for their boarding call. Tommy was bored and restless. He did not like to wait. He wanted to explore. + +He saw a door that said "Crew Only". He wondered what was behind it. He thought maybe there were more planes and pilots there. He decided to sneak away from his mom and dad and open the door. He did not know that he was doing something wrong. + +He opened the door and saw a long hallway with many doors. He opened one of them and saw a cockpit. It was full of buttons and screens and levers. It looked like a toy plane, but bigger and better. He was amazed. He climbed into the pilot seat and started to touch everything. He did not know that he was turning on the plane and making it move. + +Suddenly, he heard a loud voice. It was the real pilot. He had seen Tommy on the camera and came to stop him. He was angry and scared. He shouted at Tommy, "What are you doing? Get out of there! You could have caused an accident!" + +Tommy was frightened and confused. He did not understand what he had done. He started to cry. He said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just wanted to see the plane. I want to be a pilot like you." + +The pilot calmed down and realized that Tommy was just a curious kid. He said, "I know, I know, but you can't just go into any plane and touch anything. You have to learn and follow the rules. Being a pilot is a big responsibility. You have to behave and listen to your parents and teachers. They are trying to keep you safe and help you grow. Maybe one day, when you are older and smarter, you can be a pilot too. But for now, you have to go back to your mom and dad. They must be very worried about you." + +He took Tommy by the hand and led him back to the gate. He apologized to Tommy's mom and dad and explained what had happened. They were relieved and grateful that Tommy was okay. They also scolded Tommy and told him to never do that again. They said, "We love you, Tommy, but you have to be careful and respectful. You can't just do whatever you want. You have to think about the consequences and the feelings of others. You are unique and special, but you are not the only one in the world. You have to share and cooperate and learn from your mistakes." + +Tommy felt sorry and ashamed. He hugged his mom and dad and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I love you. I will behave and listen to you. I will be a good boy and a good pilot." + +They hugged him back and said, "We love you too, Tommy. We are proud of you and your dreams. But you have to be patient and work hard. You have a lot to learn and a lot to enjoy. Now, let's go and have fun with grandma. She has a surprise for you. She has a plane cake and a pilot badge for you. She knows how much you love planes." + +Tommy smiled and said, "Wow, thank you, grandma. That's awesome. I can't wait to see her and the cake and the badge. Maybe I can wear the badge on the plane and pretend to be a pilot." + +They laughed and said, "Maybe, but only if you behave and ask nicely. And don't touch anything you're not supposed to." + +They boarded the plane and took their seats. Tommy looked out the window and saw the sky and the clouds. He felt happy and hopeful. He said, "I love planes. I love my family. I love my life." + +The end. +Lily was a painter. She liked to make pictures with many colors. She had a big box of paints and brushes. She always put them away when she was done. + +One day, Lily wanted to paint a new picture. She looked in her box, but she saw that she had no more white paint. She needed white paint to make pink and light blue. She was sad. + +She asked her mom, "Can we go to the store and buy more white paint, please?" + +Her mom said, "Sure, Lily. Let's go. But you have to be good and stay close to me." + +Lily nodded. She put on her shoes and coat and followed her mom to the car. They drove to the store. It was a big store with many things. + +Lily saw toys, books, clothes, and candy. She wanted to look at them, but she remembered what her mom said. She stayed close to her mom and looked for the paints. + +They found the paints in a corner. There were many colors and sizes. Lily saw the white paint. She reached for it, but a nosy man was in the way. He was looking at the paints too. He had a big nose and glasses. He did not see Lily. + +Lily said, "Excuse me, sir. I need the white paint." + +The nosy man did not hear her. He kept looking at the paints. He picked up a red paint and a yellow paint. He said to himself, "Hmm, I wonder what color these will make." + +Lily was annoyed. She said louder, "Excuse me, sir. I need the white paint." + +The nosy man still did not hear her. He opened the red paint and the yellow paint. He poured some of each on a paper. He mixed them with his finger. He said to himself, "Aha, they make orange." + +Lily was angry. She said very loud, "EXCUSE ME, SIR. I NEED THE WHITE PAINT." + +The nosy man finally heard her. He looked down and saw Lily. He was surprised. He said, "Oh, I'm sorry, little girl. I did not see you. You need the white paint?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do. I am a painter. I want to make a new picture. Please give me the white paint." + +The nosy man said, "Oh, you are a painter. That's nice. What do you paint?" + +Lily said, "I paint flowers, and trees, and animals, and people. And sometimes I paint things that are not real, like dragons, and fairies, and stars." + +The nosy man said, "Wow, that sounds wonderful. You are very creative. Here, take the white paint. And you can have this orange paint too. I made it by mistake. Maybe you can use it for your picture." + +Lily said, "Thank you, sir. That's very kind of you. I like orange. It's a happy color." + +The nosy man said, "You're welcome, little girl. Have fun with your paints. And be careful not to spill them." + +Lily said, "I will. Bye, sir." + +Lily took the white paint and the orange paint. She ran to her mom, who was waiting for her. She showed her the paints. She said, "Look, mom. I got the white paint. And the nosy man gave me the orange paint. He was looking at the paints too. He did not see me. He was very nosy. But he was nice." + +Her mom said, "That's good, Lily. I'm glad you got the paints. And I'm glad the nosy man was nice. But you should not call him nosy. That's not polite. You should say curious." + +Lily said, "Oh, okay. He was curious. But he was nosy too." + +Her mom said, "Well, maybe a little. But let's not say that. Let's go and pay for the paints. And then we can go home and you can paint your new picture." + +Lily said, "Okay, mom. Let's go. I can't wait to paint my new picture. It will be very pretty. And I will use the white paint and the orange paint. And many other colors too." + +Her mom said, "I'm sure it will be very pretty, Lily. You are a great painter. I'm proud of you." + +Lily smiled. She hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily." + +They paid for the paints and left the store. They drove home. Lily painted her new picture. It was very pretty. And she used the white paint and the orange paint. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Anna. Anna had long hair and a pink dress and a bow on her head. Lily always took good care of Anna and brushed her hair and put her to bed. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Anna. She saw some other kids playing on the swings and slides and wanted to join them. She asked her mom if she could leave Anna on the bench while she played. Her mom said yes, but told her to be careful and not forget Anna. + +Lily ran to the swings and had fun with the other kids. She forgot about Anna on the bench. She was careless. A big boy saw Anna and thought she was pretty. He took Anna and ran away. Lily did not see him. + +When Lily was tired of playing, she went back to the bench. She looked for Anna, but she was not there. She felt sad and scared. She cried and called for Anna. Her mom heard her and came to hug her. She asked her what was wrong. + +Lily told her mom that Anna was gone. She said she was sorry and that she loved Anna. Her mom said she was sorry too and that they would look for Anna. They walked around the park and asked the other kids and grown-ups if they had seen Anna. + +They did not find Anna. Lily was very sad. She wanted to go home. As they were leaving the park, they saw the big boy who had taken Anna. He was walking with his mom and holding Anna. Lily recognized Anna. She saw her hair and her dress and her bow. She pointed at her and shouted, "That's my Anna! He took my Anna!" + +Her mom saw Anna too. She walked to the big boy and his mom and said, "Excuse me, but that doll belongs to my daughter. She left it on the bench and you took it. That was not nice. Can you please give it back?" + +The big boy's mom looked at the doll and at Lily. She saw that Lily was telling the truth. She said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. My son saw the doll and liked it. He didn't mean to hurt anyone. He was careless. Here, you can have it back." + +She took the doll from the big boy and gave it to Lily. Lily hugged Anna and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm so happy to see you, Anna! I missed you so much!" + +The big boy said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" He looked sad and ashamed. + +Lily looked at the big boy and said, "It's okay, I forgive you. But next time, don't take things that are not yours. That's not nice. You can ask first. Maybe we can share and play together." + +The big boy smiled and said, "Okay, thank you. Maybe we can be friends." + +Lily smiled and said, "Maybe we can. What's your name?" + +The big boy said, "My name is Max. What's yours?" + +Lily said, "My name is Lily. And this is Anna." + +Max said, "Hi, Lily. Hi, Anna. You are very pretty." + +Lily said, "Thank you, Max. You are very nice." + +They hugged and became friends.

They wanted to climb the tree and see what was up there. + +They climbed the tree carefully. They held on to the branches and moved up. They saw many green leaves and some red berries. They also saw a nest. A nest is a home for birds. It is made of sticks and grass and feathers. Sam and Lily wanted to see the nest closer. + +They moved closer to the nest. They saw four blue eggs inside the nest. The eggs were smooth and shiny. They looked pretty. Sam and Lily wanted to touch the eggs. They reached out their hands. + +But then they heard a loud sound. It was a bird. The bird was the mother of the eggs. She was angry. She saw Sam and Lily disturb her nest. She did not like that. She wanted to protect her eggs. She flew at Sam and Lily. She pecked at their heads. She made a rough noise. + +Sam and Lily were scared. They let go of the nest. They climbed down the tree quickly. They ran away from the bird. They learned a lesson. They should not disturb a nest. They should respect the birds and their homes. They said sorry to the bird and went to play somewhere else. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their toys.

I miss you. Please come back." But it was too late. The rhinoceros was gone. He had sent himself to Lily, who was very happy to see him. She hugged him and said, "Thank you, rhinoceros. You are my best friend. I will always share you with Tom." + +The moral of the story is: Don't be selfish and greedy. Share your toys and friends with others. Or you might lose them forever. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with trains. They have a big track in the living room. They put the trains on the track and make them go. + +"Choo choo!" says Lily. She pretends to be the driver. She has a red hat and a whistle. + +"Choo choo!" says Ben.

"A snake bit me!" + +Mia was scared. She saw Ben's hand was red and swollen. She did not know what to do. + +"Help, help!" Mia shouted. "Someone help us!" + +But no one heard them. They were too far from the other people. Ben and Mia were alone with the snake and the ball. + +The snake was angry. It did not like that Ben took its ball. It slithered out of the hole and hissed at them. It was very long, longer than an inch. It had sharp teeth and a forked tongue. + +The snake moved closer to Ben and Mia. They backed away, but they had nowhere to go. The snake was faster than them. It opened its mouth and bit them again and again. + +Ben and Mia fell to the ground. They felt very sick and sleepy.

I will give it back." + +Mom hugged Lily and Ben. She said, "Thank you, Lily, for being honest. Thank you, Ben, for telling the truth. I'm glad you are both sorry. I love you both.

She wore it every day when she went outside to play. She liked to wrap it around her neck and pretend she was a superhero. + +One day, a big wind came and blew her scarf away.

"Maybe we will find something fun!" + +"OK, Ben!" Lily said. "But be careful. The hill is very high and steep." + +They held hands and started to climb. They saw many bees and butterflies and smelled the sweet flowers. They felt happy and powerful. + +But then, Ben saw a shiny rock. He let go of Lily's hand and ran to get it.

She saw blood on his knee and felt scared. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I was greedy and foolish. I wanted the shiny rock and forgot about you and the hole. I learned a lesson. Friends are more important than things." + +Lily smiled and kissed his cheek. She took out a band-aid from her pocket and put it on his knee. She said, "It's OK, Ben. I forgive you. You are still my best friend. And I have a secret for you. The shiny rock is not a real rock. It is a candy. I put it there as a surprise for you. But you can still have it if you want." + +Ben looked at the candy and laughed. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind and smart. And you have a powerful secret. Can we share the candy?" + +"Of course, Ben," Lily said. "We can share everything. That's what friends do." + +They ate the candy and hugged. They decided to go back to the park and play. They were happy and powerful. They learned that friendship is more valuable than greed. +Lily loves to go to the library with her mom. She likes to look at the books with many pictures and colors.

They hugged each other and said, "That was a scary dog!" + +They decided to play a different game. They played with the toys in the bright room. They had fun and forgot about the dog. They were happy and persistent friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They live in a big city. They like to play in the park and see the birds and flowers. But some parts of the city are ugly. They have dirty buildings and noisy cars and mean people. + +One day, Anna and Ben see a flyer. It says: "Come to the circus! See the clowns and the animals and the tricks! It is fun and colorful and happy!" Anna and Ben want to go to the circus. They ask their moms if they can go. + +Their moms say yes, but they have to invite someone else. They can invite one friend each. Anna and Ben think hard. Who do they want to invite? They have many friends, but they want to invite someone who needs some fun. + +They remember Sam. Sam is a boy who lives in the ugly part of the city. He does not have many toys or friends. He always looks sad and scared. Anna and Ben like Sam. They want to make him happy. + +They go to Sam's house and knock on the door. Sam opens the door and sees Anna and Ben. He is surprised. He does not get many visitors. Anna and Ben smile and say: "Hi, Sam! We have something for you. We want to invite you to the circus! Do you want to come with us?" + +Sam's eyes light up. He can't believe it. He has never been to the circus. He has only seen it in books and pictures. He says: "Yes, yes, yes! I want to go to the circus! Thank you, Anna and Ben! You are very nice!" + +Anna and Ben hug Sam and say: "You are welcome, Sam! You are our friend! Let's go to the circus and have fun!" + +They run to their moms and show them Sam. Their moms are happy and proud. They say: "Good job, Anna and Ben! You are very kind and generous! You made Sam happy!" + +They all get in the car and drive to the circus. They see the big tent and the bright lights and the happy people. They hear the music and the laughter and the applause. They feel the excitement and the joy and the wonder. + +They enter the tent and find their seats. They watch the clowns and the animals and the tricks. They clap and cheer and laugh. They have the best time ever. + +Sam is the happiest of all. He forgets about the ugly part of the city. He feels like he is in a dream. He says: "This is the best day of my life! Thank you, Anna and Ben! You are the best friends ever!" + +Anna and Ben smile and say: "You are welcome, Sam! We are happy you are happy! We are the best friends ever!" +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the toys. Sara wants to play with the doll and Ben wants to play with the car. They pull and push and yell. + +"Stop it! It's my doll!" Sara says. + +"No, it's my car!" Ben says. + +Mom hears them and comes to their room. She is not happy. She says they are selfish. She says they have to share their toys. She says they have to say sorry to each other. + +"But Mom, I don't want to share!" Sara says. + +"Me neither!" Ben says. + +Mom has an idea. She suggests they play a game. She says they can take turns choosing a toy. She says they can play with it for five minutes. Then they have to give it to the other one. She says they can do this until night. She says they will have more fun this way. + +Sara and Ben think about it. They don't like to be selfish. They want to make Mom happy. They want to have fun. They agree to play the game. They say sorry to each other. They hug and smile. + +Mom is happy. She says they are good twins. She says she loves them. She says they can have a story before night. She says they can choose the story together. + +Sara and Ben are happy. They play with their toys. They take turns. They share. They have fun. They choose a story. They listen to Mom. They say good night. They sleep. +Lila and Ben are playing with paper. They like to fold the paper and make shapes. Lila makes a star, Ben makes a plane. + +"Look, I made a star!" Lila says. "It is shiny and pretty." + +"Look, I made a plane!" Ben says. "It can fly in the space." + +They show each other their shapes. They are happy. + +But then, Ben has an idea. He wants to make his plane fly higher and faster. He throws his plane hard at the window. He thinks the window is like the space. + +Crash! The plane breaks the window. Glass falls on the floor. Lila and Ben are scared. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Lila says. "That is not normal. That is bad." + +Ben feels sorry. He did not mean to break the window. He just wanted to play. + +But it is too late. Mom hears the noise. She comes to the room. She sees the broken window, the glass, the paper. She is angry. + +"Lila, Ben, what happened here?" Mom says. "Who broke the window?" + +Lila and Ben look at each other. They do not know what to say. They know they are in trouble. They wish they did not play with paper. They wish they did not fold the paper. They wish they did not make shapes. +Lily liked to dance. She danced every day in her room. She had a pink dress and a pink hat. She felt happy when she danced. + +One day, she saw a show on TV. It was about dancers. They danced in different ways. Some wore red, some wore blue. Some jumped high, some spun fast. Lily liked the show. She wanted to try different dances. + +She asked her mom for a red dress and a blue hat. Her mom said yes. She gave Lily the new clothes. Lily put them on. She felt different. She went to her room. She tried to jump high and spin fast. She fell down. She felt sad. + +She heard a knock on the door. It was her friend Ben. He had a green shirt and a yellow cap. He liked to dance too. He saw Lily's new clothes. He said, "You look different. Do you want to dance with me?" + +Lily said yes. She got up. She danced with Ben. They danced in different ways. They had fun. They felt happy. Lily learned that change can be good. She liked to try different dances. She liked to dance with her friend. She liked to dance. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. There is a big maze in the park. Sara and Ben want to go inside the maze. + +But Mom says no. She says the maze is too hard for them. She says they can admire the maze from outside. She says they can look at the fancy flowers and the pretty birds. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They want to have fun in the maze. They think Mom is not fair. They wait for Mom to look away. Then they run into the maze. + +The maze is fun at first. Sara and Ben laugh and run. They try to find the way out. But the maze is too big and too tricky. Sara and Ben get lost. They cannot see Mom or the park. They only see walls and paths. + +Sara and Ben are scared. They cry and call for Mom. They wish they had listened to Mom. They wish they had admired the maze from outside. They hope Mom will find them soon. +Lily liked to play with bugs. She liked to catch them in a jar and look at them. She liked to see their colors and shapes and legs. She liked to give them names and talk to them. + +One day, she found a big bug in the grass. It was green and had wings and a long nose. It made a loud noise when it flew. Lily thought it was funny and pretty. She put it in her jar and called it Buzz. + +She took Buzz to her room and showed him to her dolls. She said, "This is Buzz. He is my new friend. He is a bug. He is loud and green. I like him a lot. Do you like him?" + +The dolls nodded and smiled. They liked Buzz too. They said, "He is a nice bug. He is a good friend. He is loud and green. We like him a lot." + +Lily was happy. She said, "Buzz, you are the best bug ever. You are my favorite. Do you want to marry me?" + +Buzz nodded and smiled. He liked Lily too. He said, "You are the best girl ever. You are my favorite. I want to marry you." + +Lily and Buzz hugged and kissed. They said, "We are happy. We are married. We are loud and green. We love each other a lot." + +The end. +Lily was a jolly girl who liked to play with her toys and sing songs. She had a big bowl of fruit for her snack every day. She loved to eat apples, bananas, grapes and oranges. + +One day, Lily saw a bowl of candy on the table. It was not her bowl. It was her brother's bowl. He got it for his birthday. Lily wanted some candy. She thought it looked yummy. She reached for the bowl and took a handful of candy. + +But her brother saw her. He was angry. He said, "Lily, that is my candy! You are not allowed to take it! That is naughty!" He ran to tell their mom. + +Mom came and saw Lily with the candy. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, you know you should not take things that are not yours. That is not nice. You have to give back the candy and say sorry to your brother. And you have to punish yourself. You have to go to your room and no more fruit for today." + +Lily felt sad. She knew she did a bad thing. She gave back the candy and said sorry to her brother. She went to her room and cried. She wished she had not taken the candy. She wished she had her fruit. She learned her lesson. She decided to be a good girl and share with her brother. She hoped mom would be jolly again. +Anna liked to soar in the sky. She had a big balloon that was red and shiny. She held it with a string and ran in the park. The balloon made her feel happy and free. + +But one day, a mean boy came and grabbed her balloon. He said it was his and he wanted it. He pulled the string hard and made the balloon pop. Anna heard a loud bang and saw her balloon turn into a small piece of rubber. She felt very sad and angry. + +She ran to the boy and hit him on the lip. The boy cried and let go of the string. Anna took the string and threw it away. She did not want it anymore. She said to the boy, "You are bad and mean. You are not rich. You are poor. You have no balloon and no friend." + +Then she ran away and looked for her mom. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. That boy was not nice. But you are brave and strong. You don't need a balloon to soar. You can soar with your imagination and your heart." + +Anna smiled and nodded. She felt better. She said, "I love you, mom. You are rich. You have me and I have you." +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They also liked to look at the animals in the park. There were ducks, squirrels and rabbits. + +One day, they saw a new animal. It was big and furry and had a long tail. It was a fox. Lily and Tom were curious. They wanted to pet the fox. They walked slowly towards it. + +"Hello, fox," Lily said. "You are so pretty. Can we touch you?" + +The fox looked at them with sharp eyes. It did not like strangers. It growled and showed its teeth. + +"Go away, kids," the fox said. "I am not your friend. I am hungry and angry. If you come closer, I will bite you." + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not know the fox could talk. They heard the fox warn them. They ran away from the fox. They ran back to their parents. + +"Mom, Dad, we saw a fox!" Tom said. "It was big and furry and mean. It warned us to go away." + +"Wow, you saw a fox?" Mom said. "That is rare in the park. But you did the right thing to run away. Foxes are wild animals. They can be dangerous. You should never try to pet them." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They decided to stay away from the fox. They still liked to play in the park, but they only looked at the friendly animals. They enjoyed the rest of the summer. +Anna loved to play with her dolls in her chamber. She had many dolls with pretty dresses and hair. She liked to make them talk and have tea parties. She was happy when she played with her dolls. + +One day, her brother Tom came into her chamber. He was bored and wanted to play with Anna. But he did not like dolls. He liked cars and trucks and planes. He saw Anna's dolls and said they were silly and ugly. He grabbed one of Anna's dolls and threw it on the floor. He broke its arm and ripped its dress. + +Anna was very sad and angry. She screamed at Tom and told him to go away. She picked up her doll and hugged it. She wept and wept. She loved her doll and did not want it to be hurt. + +Tom saw that Anna was weeping and felt sorry. He did not mean to make her weep. He just wanted to have fun. He said he was sorry and asked Anna to forgive him. He said he would help her fix her doll. + +Anna stopped weeping and looked at Tom. She saw that he was sorry and wanted to be nice. She said she forgave him and thanked him for helping her. She asked him if he wanted to join her tea party. She said she had yummy cookies and juice. + +Tom smiled and said yes. He said he liked cookies and juice. He said he would try to play with dolls. He said he loved Anna and wanted to be her friend. + +Anna smiled and said she loved Tom and wanted to be his friend. She said he could play with dolls or cars or whatever he liked. She said they could have fun together. + +They hugged and went to have their tea party. They shared their cookies and juice and played with their toys. They were happy and forgot their fight. +Tim and Lily liked to play in the shed. They found many things there. Some were old and some were shiny. Tim saw a saw. It was old and rusty. He wanted to make it shiny. + +"Look, Lily, a saw!" Tim said. "I can polish it." + +"How?" Lily asked. + +Tim looked around. He saw a cloth and a bottle. The bottle said "oil". He did not know what oil was, but he thought it might help. + +"I can use this cloth and this oil," Tim said. He opened the bottle and poured some oil on the cloth. Then he rubbed the cloth on the saw. + +Lily watched. She saw the saw become shiny. She was happy. + +"Wow, Tim, you did it!" Lily said. "The saw is shiny now." + +Tim smiled. He was proud. He held the saw and pretended to cut wood. + +"Vroom, vroom!" Tim said. He made saw noises. + +Lily laughed. She wanted to join. She looked for another thing to polish. She saw a spoon. It was shiny too, but she thought it could be shinier. + +"Can I polish the spoon?" Lily asked. + +"Sure," Tim said. He gave her some cloth and oil. "Be careful, don't spill the oil." + +Lily nodded. She took the cloth and oil and rubbed the spoon. She saw the spoon become shinier. She was happy too. + +They played with the saw and the spoon. They made noises and had fun. They did not hear their mom come in. + +"Tim, Lily, what are you doing?" Mom asked. She saw the oil and the cloth and the saw and the spoon. She was not happy. + +"Mom, we are polishing!" Tim and Lily said. They showed her their shiny things. + +Mom sighed. She saw the oil on the floor and the cloth and the saw and the spoon. She was not happy. + +"Polishing is not a game," Mom said. "Oil is not for cloth. Saw is not for play. Spoon is for eating. You made a mess. You could have hurt yourselves." + +Tim and Lily felt sorry. They did not know they did something bad. They wanted to make Mom happy. + +"Sorry, Mom," Tim and Lily said. They put the saw and the spoon back. They helped Mom clean the oil and the cloth. + +Mom hugged them. She was not angry. She loved them. + +"I know you were curious," Mom said. "But you have to be careful. Some things are not for play. Some things are dangerous. Next time, ask me first." + +Tim and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. + +"Can we polish something else?" Tim asked. + +"Maybe later," Mom said. "But not in the shed. And not with oil. How about we polish your teeth?" + +Tim and Lily giggled. They liked that idea. + +"Okay, Mom," Tim and Lily said. They followed Mom to the bathroom. They polished their teeth with toothpaste and a brush. They made their teeth shiny and clean. They were happy. Mom was happy too. +Sam and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But their favorite thing was to feed the ducks. They always brought some bread for the ducks. + +One day, they saw a new duck in the pond. It was big and brown and had a long neck. It looked wild and different from the other ducks. Sam and Lily wanted to feed it too. + +"Let's go closer," Sam said. He urged Lily to follow him. He broke a piece of bread and threw it to the new duck. + +The new duck did not eat the bread. It looked at Sam and Lily with angry eyes. It opened its mouth and made a loud noise. It was not a duck. It was a goose! + +The goose chased Sam and Lily. It flapped its wings and snapped its beak. Sam and Lily were scared. They ran away from the pond. They did not stop until they reached their mom. + +"Mom, mom, there was a wild goose in the park!" Sam said. "It tried to bite us!" + +Mom hugged Sam and Lily. She looked at the pond and saw the goose. She smiled and said, "That's not a wild goose, that's a Canada goose. They are very protective of their space. Next time, don't go too close to them. They don't like bread, they like grass." + +Sam and Lily nodded. They learned something new. They still liked to feed the ducks, but they stayed away from the goose. They gave it a wide look and a wide berth. +Sam liked to print pictures of cars and trucks. He had a big book of cars and trucks that he could copy. He used his crayons to color them. He wanted to show his dad his pictures. His dad was a driver. He drove a big truck. + +But Sam's dad was not home. He was at work. Sam was sad. He wanted his dad to see his pictures. He asked his mom when his dad would come back. His mom said soon. She said he had to be patient. She said his dad was busy. + +Sam did not want to be patient. He wanted his dad now. He had an idea. He took his mom's phone. He knew his dad's number. He called his dad. He said, "Dad, come home. I have pictures for you." + +But his dad was not happy. He was angry. He said, "Sam, why are you calling me? I am driving. I have to deliver a lot of things. You are not supposed to use mom's phone. You are in trouble." + +Sam was scared. He dropped the phone. He started to cry. He ran to his room. He hid under his bed. He heard his mom's voice. She was looking for him. She sounded worried. He did not want to talk to her. He felt bad. He wished he had been patient. +Lily and Ben are friends.

They look at the water. They see some fish and frogs. + +They cross the bridge. They find a big tree. They sit under the tree. They take out their stones and sticks. They make a castle with them. They pretend they are kings and queens. + +They are hungry. They open their lunch boxes. They have sandwiches and cookies. They share their food. They say it is yummy. They smile and laugh. They are happy. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the park. They see a big rock. It is gray and hard. + +"Let's climb the rock!" Lila says. Tom nods. They run to the rock. They use their hands and feet to go up. They are careful not to fall. + +When they reach the top, they look around. They see trees and flowers and birds. They see the road and the cars and the people. They see the sky and the sun and the clouds. + +"It is like a country up here!" Tom says. Lila agrees. They feel happy and proud. + +But then, they feel a cold wind. It makes them shiver. They hug each other to keep warm. + +"Let's go down," Lila says. Tom nods. They climb down the rock.

The other team scored many goals. Lily and Max lost the game. They did not get a trophy. + +They learned a lesson. They learned that it is not important to look cute. It is important to play well.

He ran to the box and tried to open it. But the box was locked. He looked for a key, but he could not find one. He got very angry and kicked the box. + +"Tommy, what are you doing?" his mom asked. She came into the room and saw the box. "This is not your toy. This is a very important box for daddy. He is a lawyer. He needs the box for his work. You cannot open it." + +"But I want to see what is inside!" Tommy whined. "It is my room. It is my box. Give me the key!" + +"No, Tommy. You are being very rude and selfish. You need to learn to respect other people's things. You have enough toys. You should be grateful for what you have. Now, go to your time-out corner and think about your behavior." his mom said. She took the box and the key and left the room. + +Tommy felt very sad and sorry. He realized he had been a bad boy. He wished he had been nicer to his mom and dad.

They are for girls." + +Ann sees the car. She says, "Oh, no. This is not my doll. This is a car. I do not like cars. Cars are dull. They do not talk. They do not hug. They are for boys." + +They look at each other. They are sad. They do not like the toys. They do not like the surprise. + +They say, "We made a mistake. We wrapped the wrong toys. We should have given the toys we like. We should have looked at the top of the box. The top of the box has our names. We should have swapped the toys." + +They swap the toys.

He learns to wake up. +Lily likes to stand on her chair and look at the big book. The book has many pages with pictures and words. Lily can read some of the words, but not all. She likes to make up stories about the pictures. + +One day, Lily finds a page that is different from the others. It is shiny and smooth, not regular. It has a picture of a magic wand and a star. Lily wonders what it means. She touches the page and feels a tingle in her fingers. + +Lily hears a voice in her head. It says, "You have found the magic page. You can make one wish come true. What do you wish for?" Lily thinks hard. She has many things she wants, but she can only choose one. + +She looks around her room and sees her toys, her clothes, her bed.

It was red and shiny and round. Bella thought it was a wing. She wanted to bounce on it and fly away. She did not listen to the farmer who said, "No, Bella, that is not a wing. That is a balloon.

He picked her up and took her to the vet. The vet said, "Bella, you are lucky. You only have a few cuts and bruises. But you could have been hurt much worse.

He thinks it is too slow. + +"Tim, can we play something else?" Sam says. "This is boring. The boat is not reliable. It can't even go to the other side of the pond. It is stuck in the weeds." + +Tim does not listen to Sam. He pulls the string harder and harder. He wants to make the boat go faster and faster. He does not see the big rock in the water.
