I do not have a bone or a ball. I do not want to pay. I do not want a chicken. I want to play." + +The boy and the dog left the chicken coop and went to see the other animals.

It was too big for him and he was too careless to fix it. His belt hung down from his pants and dragged on the ground. Sam did not notice. + +As the seesaw went up and down, up and down, Sam's belt got caught on a rock. It pulled on his pants and made them fall down. Sam felt a tug and looked down. He saw his pants around his ankles and his underwear showing. He was very embarrassed. + +"Uh-oh!" Sam said. He tried to pull up his pants, but he could not. He was still on the seesaw and it was going down. He leaned to the side and fell off the seesaw. He landed on the grass with a thud. + +"Ow!" Sam said. He rubbed his head and his knee. He felt tears in his eyes. + +Mia saw what happened. She stopped the seesaw and ran to Sam. She saw his pants and his underwear. She giggled. + +"Sam, you are silly!" Mia said. "Why did you not fix your belt?" + +Sam felt angry. He did not like Mia laughing at him. He did not think it was funny. He grabbed his pants and pulled them up. He fastened his belt. He glared at Mia. + +"I am not silly!" Sam said. "You are mean! I don't want to play with you anymore!" + +He ran away from Mia and the seesaw. He went to the slide and climbed up. He slid down and felt better. He forgot about his pants and his belt. He looked for a new friend to play with. +Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play in the forest. They had a secret path that led to a big tree with a hole. They called it their fort and pretended to be mighty knights. + +One day, they heard a loud roar from the other side of the forest. They saw a big bear running towards them. They were scared and ran to their fort. + +"Quick, Tom, we have to protect our fort!" Mia said. + +"I know, Mia, but how?" Tom said. + +They looked around and saw some sticks and stones. They picked them up and threw them at the bear. The bear was angry and tried to reach them, but the hole was too small. + +"Go away, bear, this is our fort!" Tom and Mia shouted. + +The bear growled and scratched the tree, but it could not get in. It gave up and ran away. + +Tom and Mia hugged each other and cheered. They had protected their fort from the bear. They felt very mighty and brave. They decided to go home and tell their mom and dad about their adventure. +Anna likes grapes. She likes to eat them and play with them. She sees a big bunch of grapes on the table. She wants to take some grapes. + +She climbs on a chair and reaches for the grapes. But she is too small. She cannot get the grapes. She is sad. + +She sees her big brother Tom. He is tall. He can get the grapes. She asks him for help. She says, "Tom, please give me some grapes. I like grapes." + +Tom is gentle. He loves his little sister. He smiles and says, "OK, Anna. I will give you some grapes. But you have to share with me. And you have to be careful. Do not drop the grapes. They will make a mess." + +He picks some grapes and gives them to Anna. She is happy. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are nice. I will share with you. And I will be careful. I will not drop the grapes." + +They sit on the floor and eat the grapes. They are sweet and juicy. They enjoy the grapes. They are happy. +Ben and Mia were best friends. They liked to play with toys and pretend to be heroes. One day, they found a shiny thing in the garage. It was a laser. Ben said, "Wow, this is cool! Let's use it to fight bad guys!" Mia said, "OK, but be careful. It might be dangerous." + +They went outside and looked for bad guys. They saw a big dog barking at a cat. Ben said, "That dog is a bad guy! He wants to hurt the cat!" Mia said, "No, he is not. He is just scared. He needs a friend." Ben said, "How do you know?" Mia said, "I can see it in his eyes. Trust me." + +Ben was not sure, but he trusted Mia. He put down the laser and said, "OK, let's try to be his friend." They walked slowly to the dog and said, "Hello, dog. We are Ben and Mia. We want to play with you." The dog stopped barking and wagged his tail. He licked their faces and let them pet him. The cat came out from behind a bush and joined them. They all played happily together. + +Ben and Mia learned that the laser was not a good toy. It could hurt someone or something. They decided to give it back to the garage and find something else to play with. They also learned that not everyone who looks different or scary is a bad guy. Sometimes, they just need a friend. They were humble and kind. They were true heroes. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for worms and bugs. They found a big root that was brown and hard. They wanted to see what was under it. + +"Let's pull it out!" Tom said. + +"OK!" Lily said. + +They both grabbed the root and pulled with all their might. The root did not move. They pulled harder and harder. The root did not move. They pulled so hard that they fell down. + +"Ouch!" Tom said. + +"Ouch!" Lily said. + +They looked at the root. It was still in the ground. But something else was not. They saw a pipe that was broken and water was coming out. The water was wet and cold. It was spraying all over the garden. + +"Oh no!" Tom said. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. + +They heard a voice from the house. It was Mom. She sounded angry. + +"Tom! Lily! What have you done? You broke the water pipe! The garden is flooded! Come here right now!" + +Tom and Lily were nervous. They knew they were in trouble. They got up and ran to the house. They were wet and dirty. They wished they had not pulled the root. They wished they had played with something else. They wished they had listened to Mom. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in their room. It had a sticker that said "mail". They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Ben said. He tore the tape and lifted the lid. He saw many colorful things that looked like toys. "Wow, look at these!" he said. He grabbed a shiny ball and a soft bear. + +"Wait, Ben!" Mia said. "Maybe this is not for us. Maybe this is for someone else. Maybe we should ask Mom or Dad first." + +But Ben did not listen. He was too excited. He took out more things from the box. He found a funny hat, a noisy horn, a pretty dress, and a big book. He tried them all on and made loud sounds. + +Mia felt bad. She did not think this was right. She wanted to share the things with Ben, but she also wanted to be good. She looked at the sticker again. It had a name and an address. It was not their name or their address. It was for another kid who lived far away. + +"Ben, stop!" Mia said. "This is not our mail. This is for someone else. We should put the things back and close the box. We should tell Mom or Dad to send it to the right place." + +But Ben did not stop. He was having too much fun. He did not care about the other kid. He did not care about Mia. He said, "No, these are mine now. I like them. They are useful. You can't have any. Go away!" + +Mia felt sad. She did not like how Ben was acting. She did not want to fight with him. She decided to leave him alone. She went to find Mom or Dad. + +But when she got to the living room, she saw something that made her scared. She saw Mom and Dad talking to a man in a uniform. He had a badge and a bag. He looked angry. He said, "I'm here to check your mail. I got a report that you stole a package that was not yours. It was for a sick kid who needed some toys to cheer him up. Where is it?" + +Mom and Dad looked confused. They did not know what he was talking about. They said, "We did not steal any package. We did not get any mail today. What are you talking about?" + +The man did not believe them. He said, "Don't lie to me. I have proof. I have a tracking number and a photo. The package was delivered to your door this morning. It had a sticker that said 'mail'. It was a big box. Where is it?" + +Mom and Dad looked at each other. They remembered the big box in Ben and Mia's room. They realized what had happened. They felt ashamed. They said, "We're sorry. We did not know. Our kids must have opened it by mistake. We'll get it for you right away." + +They ran to Ben and Mia's room. They saw Ben playing with the things from the box. They saw Mia crying in a corner. They saw the empty box and the torn sticker. They knew they were in trouble. + +They took the things from Ben and put them back in the box. They scolded him for being greedy and selfish. They apologized to Mia for not listening to her. They took the box to the man and said they were sorry again. They asked him to forgive them and to send the box to the right kid. + +But the man did not forgive them. He said, "You're too late. The kid who needed the box is gone. He died this morning. He never got to see his toys. He never got to smile. You ruined his last wish. You should be ashamed of yourselves. You're going to pay for this." + +He took the box and left. He said he was going to call the police and report them for theft. He said they were going to jail. + +Mom and Dad were shocked and sad. They hugged Ben and Mia and said they were sorry. They said they loved them and they hoped they learned their lesson. + +The moral of the story is: Don't take what is not yours. Be kind and share. Listen to your conscience. Respect other people's mail. +Anna and Ben like to play hide and seek. They take turns to hide and to seek. Anna is good at hiding. She can disappear behind the sofa, under the bed, or in the closet. Ben is not so good at hiding. He is too big and too noisy. He always giggles when Anna is near. + +One day, they play hide and seek in the park. Anna says, "I will hide first. You count to ten and then you seek me." Ben says, "OK. One, two, three..." He counts slowly. He is impatient. He wants to find Anna quickly. He thinks she will hide behind a tree or a bench. + +He finishes counting. He says, "Ready or not, here I come!" He runs around the park. He looks behind every tree and every bench. He does not see Anna. He says, "Anna, where are you? I can't find you!" He hears a giggle. He follows the sound. He sees a big pile of leaves. He thinks Anna is hiding there. He jumps on the leaves. He says, "I found you!" + +But he is wrong. There is no Anna under the leaves. There is only a squirrel. The squirrel is scared. It runs away. Ben is confused. He says, "Where is Anna? Did she disappear?" He hears another giggle. He looks up. He sees Anna on a swing. She is smiling. She says, "You didn't find me! I was on the swing the whole time! You are silly, Ben!" + +Ben is surprised. He says, "How did you get there? I didn't see you!" Anna says, "I was hiding behind the slide. When you were looking behind the trees and the benches, I ran to the swing. You were too slow, Ben!" Ben says, "That's not fair! You cheated!" Anna says, "No, I didn't. I was just smart. You have to be more careful, Ben. Next time, I will hide even better. You will never find me!" + +They laugh. They hug. They play again. They have fun. They love hide and seek. +Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was the queen doll. The queen doll had a shiny crown and a long dress. Sara liked to make the queen doll talk and sing and tell stories. + +One day, Sara's mom said, "Sara, do you want to learn something new?" Sara nodded. She liked to learn new things. Mom said, "I will teach you how to write your name. It is not hard. You just need to make some lines and curves." Mom gave Sara a paper and a crayon. + +Sara tried to write her name. She made a line and a curve for S, a line and a curve for A, a line and a dot for R, and another line and a curve for A. She looked at her paper. She was proud. She showed mom. Mom smiled and said, "Good job, Sara! You wrote your name very well!" + +Sara wanted to write more. She asked mom, "Can I write the queen's name?" Mom said, "Sure, you can. The queen's name is Q-U-E-E-N. It has some letters that are different from your name. Do you want to try?" + +Sara tried to write the queen's name. She made a line and a curve for Q, a line and a dot for U, a line and a curve for E, another line and a curve for E, and a line and a dot for N. She looked at her paper. She was happy. She showed mom. Mom clapped and said, "Wow, Sara! You wrote the queen's name very well, too! You are a smart girl!" + +Sara hugged mom and said, "Thank you, mom! I like to learn new things. Can we learn more tomorrow?" Mom said, "Of course, we can. Learning is fun. And you are my little queen." Sara smiled and said, "I love you, mom. And I love the queen doll, too." She took the queen doll and the paper and went to play. She made the queen doll say, "Hello, I am the queen. And this is my name. Can you write your name, too?" +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys in the bath. They have a duck, a boat, a fish and a frog. They make the toys swim and splash. + +One day, Mom gives them a new shampoo. It is in a pink bottle. It smells like flowers. Mom says it is good for their hair. She says they can use it by themselves. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They want to try the new shampoo. They take the bottle and open it. They pour some shampoo on their hands. They rub it on their hair. They make bubbles. + +"Look, Ben, I have a lot of bubbles!" Lily says. + +"Me too, Lily, I have more bubbles!" Ben says. + +They laugh and have fun. They blow the bubbles. They pop the bubbles. They make more bubbles. + +But they do not see that the bottle is fragile. It is not strong. It can break. They squeeze the bottle too hard. The bottle cracks. The shampoo spills out. It makes a mess. + +"Oh no, Lily, the bottle is broken!" Ben says. + +"Oh no, Ben, the shampoo is gone!" Lily says. + +They are sad. They do not have any more shampoo. They do not know what to do. + +Mom hears them. She comes to the bath. She sees the broken bottle and the spilled shampoo. She is not happy. She is mad. + +"Lily and Ben, what did you do?" Mom says. + +"We are sorry, Mom, we wanted to use the new shampoo, but the bottle is fragile, it broke, we did not mean to, we are sorry!" Lily and Ben say. + +Mom sighs. She is not mad anymore. She is calm. She loves Lily and Ben. She knows they are little. They make mistakes. They learn. + +"It's okay, Lily and Ben, I forgive you, but you have to be careful with the shampoo, it is not a toy, it is for washing your hair, you have to use it gently, not squeeze it hard, do you understand?" Mom says. + +"Yes, Mom, we understand, we are sorry, we will be careful next time, we love you, Mom!" Lily and Ben say. + +Mom hugs them. She rinses their hair. She dries them with a towel. She gives them a kiss. She says they are good kids. She says they smell like flowers. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a man with a big hat. The hat is amazing. It has many colors and shapes. It looks like a rainbow. + +"Wow, look at that hat!" Tom says. He points to the man. + +"I want to see it!" Lily says. She runs after the man. + +"Wait, Lily!" Tom says. He follows her. + +The man sees the children. He smiles. He stops and kneels down. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you like my hat?" he asks. + +"Yes, we do!" Tom and Lily say. + +"This is a special hat. It is a magic hat. It can do many things. Do you want to see?" he says. + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily say. + +The man takes off his hat. He puts it on the ground. He claps his hands. The hat starts to move. It spins and jumps. It makes funny noises. It changes into different things. It becomes a flower, a bird, a car, a cake, and more. + +Tom and Lily laugh and clap. They are amazed. They have never seen a hat like this. + +The man picks up his hat. He puts it back on his head. + +"Did you enjoy the show?" he asks. + +"Yes, we did! Thank you, mister!" Tom and Lily say. + +"You're welcome, children. I'm glad you liked it. This hat is a gift from a friend. He is a magician. He taught me how to use it. He said I should share it with others. He said it can make people happy. Do you want to try it?" he says. + +"Yes, we do!" Tom and Lily say. + +The man gives his hat to Tom. He tells him to clap his hands. Tom does. The hat moves and makes a noise. It becomes a ball. Tom throws it to Lily. Lily catches it. She claps her hands. The hat moves and makes a noise. It becomes a doll. Lily hugs it. She gives it to the man. + +The man takes his hat. He smiles. He says, "You are very good at this. You have a lot of imagination. You can make the hat do anything you want. But remember, the hat is magic. You have to be careful. You have to be kind. You have to say please and thank you. And you have to give it back when you're done. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, we do!" Tom and Lily say. + +"Good. Then you can play with it for a little while. But don't go too far. I'll be right here. Have fun!" he says. + +He sits on a bench. He watches the children. They play with the hat. They make it do many things. They are happy. They are amazed. They say please and thank you. They give it back when they're done. + +The man is happy too. He is amazed. He thinks, "This is the best hat ever." +Sam liked to learn new things. He was very enthusiastic about books, animals, and colors. His mom was a teach at a big school. She taught big kids many things. Sam wanted to be like his mom. + +One day, Sam went to the library with his mom. He saw many books on the shelves. He wanted to read them all. He picked one book with a picture of a lion on the cover. He asked his mom, "What is this?" + +His mom smiled and said, "That is a lion. It is a big and strong animal. It lives in a place called Africa. Do you want to learn more about lions?" + +Sam nodded. He loved lions. They were his favorite animal. He opened the book and looked at the pictures. He saw lions with yellow fur, big teeth, and long tails. He saw lions sleeping, hunting, and roaring. He learned many new words from the book. + +He was so happy that he wanted to share his new knowledge with his friends. He put the book in his backpack and said goodbye to his mom. He ran to the playground where his friends were playing. He saw Billy, his best friend, on the slide. He ran to him and said, "Billy, guess what? I learned about lions today. They are amazing. Do you want to hear about them?" + +Billy looked at Sam and frowned. He did not like lions. He liked dinosaurs. He had a book about dinosaurs in his backpack. He said, "No, I don't want to hear about lions. Lions are boring. Dinosaurs are better. They are bigger and cooler. They can fly, swim, and stomp. Do you want to hear about dinosaurs?" + +Sam felt sad. He did not like dinosaurs. He thought they were scary and ugly. He wanted to talk about lions. He said, "No, I don't want to hear about dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are old and gone. Lions are alive and beautiful. They can run, jump, and roar. They are the kings of the animals. You should learn about lions." + +Billy and Sam started to argue. They raised their voices and said mean things to each other. They did not listen to each other. They did not want to be friends anymore. + +A big teach saw them and came to them. She asked, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting?" + +Billy and Sam told her their stories. They both said that their books were better and that their friends were wrong. They both wanted the teach to agree with them. + +The teach shook her head and said, "You are both wrong. You are both right. There is no better or worse book. There is no better or worse animal. There are only different books and different animals. They are all interesting and wonderful. They all have something to teach us. You should not fight over them. You should share them. You should be curious and respectful. You should be friends." + +She took the books from their backpacks and showed them to them. She said, "Look at these books. They are both full of pictures and words. They are both full of facts and stories. They are both full of wonders and mysteries. They are both gifts for you. You can learn from them. You can enjoy them. You can mention them to each other. You can teach each other. You can be enthusiastic about them. You can be enthusiastic about each other. That is what friends do." + +Billy and Sam looked at the books and then at each other. They felt sorry for what they said and did. They realized that they were both silly and stubborn. They realized that they both loved to learn new things. They realized that they both loved their friends. + +They smiled and said, "We are sorry. We were wrong. We want to be friends. We want to share our books. We want to learn from each other. We want to be enthusiastic about each other." + +They hugged and said, "Thank you, teach. You are very wise and kind. You taught us a very important lesson. You taught us how to be friends." + +The end. +Sam was an adventurous boy who liked to explore new things. He had a lab in his basement where he kept many toys and tools. He wanted to make a rocket that could fly to the moon. He worked hard every day to build his rocket with cardboard, tape and paint. + +One day, he thought his rocket was ready. He showed it to his mom and said, "Look, mom, I made a rocket! Can I go to the moon?" + +Mom smiled and said, "That's a very nice rocket, Sam, but you can't go to the moon. It's too far and too dangerous. You can play with your rocket in the backyard, but don't light it up." + +Sam nodded, but he did not listen. He wanted to succeed and go to the moon. He waited until mom was busy in the kitchen and then he sneaked out with his rocket. He found a match and lit the fuse of his rocket. He hoped it would fly high and fast. + +But his rocket did not fly. It exploded with a loud bang and a big fire. Sam was scared and hurt. He cried and screamed. Mom heard the noise and ran outside. She saw Sam and his rocket on fire. She was shocked and angry. She grabbed a hose and put out the fire. She hugged Sam and said, "Sam, what have you done? You could have burned yourself and the house! You disobeyed me and did a very bad thing!" + +Sam felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, mom, I just wanted to go to the moon. I wanted to succeed." + +Mom said, "Sam, you don't need to go to the moon to succeed. You need to be safe and smart and listen to me. You are my son and I love you, but you also need to learn from your mistakes. You are grounded for a week and you can't play with your lab anymore. Maybe next time you will be more careful and less adventurous." +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the snow. One day, they saw a big chimney on a house near their yard. They wondered what was inside the chimney. They decided to go and look. + +They walked to the house and climbed on a pile of wood. They reached the chimney and peeked inside. It was very dark and dirty. They saw some black stuff and some red stuff. They did not know what they were. + +"Hello!" Tim shouted into the chimney. His voice echoed back. "Hello, hello, hello!" + +Kim giggled and shouted too. "We are Tim and Kim!" She heard her voice repeat. "We are Tim and Kim, Tim and Kim, Tim and Kim!" + +They thought it was fun to hear their voices repeat. They shouted more words and laughed. They did not hear the door of the house open. They did not see the man who came out. He was not happy to see them. + +"Hey, you kids! Get off my chimney!" He yelled. "You are making too much noise and making it dirty!" + +Tim and Kim were scared. They jumped off the wood and ran away. They did not want to play with the chimney anymore. They went back to their yard and made a snowman. They hoped the man would not be angry with them. They learned not to bother other people's chimneys. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Sara has a new toy. It is a printer. She can print pictures with it. + +"Look, Ben, I can print a picture of a cat!" Sara says. She puts a paper in the printer and pushes a button. The printer makes a noise and a picture comes out. + +"Wow, that is a sweet toy!" Ben says. He likes cats. He wants to print a picture too. "Can I print a picture of a dog?" + +"Sure, Ben, you can print a picture of a dog." Sara says. She helps Ben find a picture of a dog on the computer. They put another paper in the printer and push the button. The printer makes a noise and a picture comes out. + +"Look, Sara, I printed a picture of a dog!" Ben says. He is happy. He shows Sara his picture. Sara likes dogs too. She smiles. + +"That is a nice picture, Ben!" Sara says. "Do you want to print more pictures?" + +"Yes, Sara, I want to print more pictures!" Ben says. They print more pictures of animals. They have fun with the printer. It is a sweet toy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they are hungry. They go to the kitchen. They see a pot of soup on the stove. + +"Soup smells good," Lily says. "Can we have some?" + +Ben nods. He gets two bowls and spoons. He tries to reach the pot. But the pot is too high. He cannot get the soup. + +"Help me, Lily," Ben says. "I want soup." + +Lily helps Ben. She climbs on a chair. She holds the pot handle. She pours some soup into the bowls. But the pot is very hot. Lily drops the pot. The soup spills on the floor. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cries. "The pot is hot! It hurts!" + +Ben drops the bowls. He runs to Lily. He hugs her. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. Are you okay?" + +Lily nods. She says, "I'm okay, Ben. Thank you for hugging me. You are a good friend." + +They hear a noise. They look at the door. They see Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad are angry. They see the mess on the floor. They see the pot and the bowls. + +"What happened here?" Mom asks. "Who made this mess?" + +Lily and Ben are scared. They do not want to get in trouble. They point at the door. They say, "It was not us. It was the cat." + +Mom and Dad look at the door. They see the cat. The cat is cute. The cat is licking the soup on the floor. The cat is happy. + +Mom and Dad laugh. They say, "The cat did it? That's a silly story. But the cat is cute. We cannot be mad at the cat." + +They hug Lily and Ben. They say, "We are not mad at you either. But next time, do not touch the pot. The pot is hot. It can hurt you. And do not lie. Lying is bad. Tell us the truth." + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We will not touch the pot. We will not lie. We will tell the truth." + +Mom and Dad smile. They say, "That's good. We love you. Now let's clean up the mess. And then we can have some soup. But not from the floor. From a new pot." +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the garden. They had a contest to see who could grow the biggest sunflower. They planted their seeds in pots and watered them every day. They waited and waited for their sunflowers to grow. + +One day, Lily saw a yellow flower peeking out of her pot. She was very happy and ran to show Ben. Ben looked at his pot and saw a green stem, but no flower. He was sad and said, "You win, Lily. Your sunflower is impressive." + +Lily felt sorry for Ben and said, "Don't be sad, Ben. Maybe your sunflower is just late. Let's share mine. We can both look at it and smell it and count its petals." She gave Ben a hug and they sat together by the sunflower. + +The next day, Ben saw a yellow flower peeking out of his pot. He was very happy and ran to show Lily. Lily looked at his pot and saw a big and bright sunflower. She was surprised and said, "Wow, Ben. Your sunflower is impressive too. It's bigger than mine." + +Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You were right. My sunflower was just late. Let's share yours and mine. We can both look at them and smell them and count their petals." He gave Lily a hug and they sat together by the sunflowers. + +They decided that they both won the contest, because they had the most beautiful and impressive sunflowers in the garden. They were happy and proud of their sunflowers and their friendship. +Ben and Mia are brother and sister. They like to play in their house. They have a big slide in their backyard. They slide down fast and laugh. + +One day, it rains a lot. They cannot go outside. They are sad and bored. They look for something fun to do inside. + +"I have an idea!" Ben says. "Let's make a slide upstairs!" + +"How?" Mia asks. + +"Come with me!" Ben says. He runs upstairs. He takes his blanket and pillow. He puts them on the stairs. He makes a soft and smooth slide. + +"Wow!" Mia says. "That looks fun!" + +They take turns to slide down the stairs. They are careful not to fall. They are enthusiastic and happy. They slide and slide until they are tired. + +"That was the best slide ever!" Ben says. + +"I agree!" Mia says. "You are very clever, Ben!" + +They hug each other. They go to their room. They read a book and fall asleep. They dream of sliding. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside on warm days. They have a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. + +One day, they decide to take their toys to the sandbox. Lily takes her bucket and shovel. Ben takes his truck and car. They dig and build and make roads in the sand. + +"Look, Lily, I made a bridge for my car!" Ben says, showing his toy. + +"That's nice, Ben. I made a castle for my bucket!" Lily says, pointing to her sand pile. + +They are having fun, but then they hear a loud bark. It is Rex, the dog from next door. Rex likes to run and jump and chase things. He sees the toys in the sandbox and thinks they are for him. + +"Rex, no!" Lily and Ben shout, as Rex runs towards them. He grabs Ben's truck in his mouth and shakes it. He drops it and goes for Lily's bucket. He knocks over her castle and makes a mess. + +"Bad dog, Rex! Go away!" Lily and Ben cry, trying to save their toys. They are sad and angry. + +Rex's owner hears the noise and comes outside. He sees Rex and the children and the sandbox. He is sorry and calls Rex back. + +"I'm so sorry, kids. Rex didn't mean to ruin your toys. He just wanted to play. He is a good dog, but he doesn't know better. Can you forgive him?" he says, holding Rex's collar. + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They are still upset, but they don't want to be mean. They nod and say, "It's okay. We forgive him. But please don't let him take our toys again." + +The owner thanks them and takes Rex inside. He gives them a treat and a hug. Lily and Ben smile and say, "Thank you. Bye, Rex." + +They go back to the sandbox and fix their toys. They play some more and have a good day. +Lisa loves to sing. She sings all the time. She sings in the morning, she sings in the afternoon, she sings at night. She sings loud and happy. She sings songs she knows and songs she makes up. + +One day, Lisa's uncle comes to visit. He is very big and has a beard. He hugs Lisa and says, "Hello, little singer. How are you?" Lisa feels uncomfortable. She does not like his beard. It tickles her face. She does not like his voice. It is too deep and loud. She does not want to talk to him. + +Lisa runs to her room and closes the door. She sings to herself. She sings, "I don't like uncle, I don't like uncle, he is big and scary, he is big and scary." She sings until she feels better. + +But then she hears a knock on the door. It is her uncle. He says, "Lisa, can I come in? I want to hear you sing. I like your singing. It makes me happy." Lisa is quiet. She does not know what to do. + +She thinks for a moment. She thinks, maybe uncle is not so bad. Maybe he is just different. Maybe he likes her. Maybe she can sing for him. She opens the door and says, "Okay, uncle. I will sing for you. But you have to be nice and quiet. And you have to smile." Uncle nods and smiles. He sits on the floor and listens. Lisa sings a song she knows. She sings, "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are." Uncle claps and says, "That was beautiful, Lisa. You are a wonderful singer. Thank you for singing for me." Lisa smiles and says, "You're welcome, uncle. I'm sorry I was rude. You are not so scary. You are nice." Uncle hugs her and says, "I'm sorry I made you uncomfortable. You are not so shy. You are brave." They hug and laugh. They sing together. They sing, "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are." +Sara liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She made pictures of flowers, animals, and people. She was a good painter. + +One day, she wanted to paint a big picture on the wall. She asked her mom if she could.

She took her paints and brushes. She went to the wall. She started to paint. She painted a big sun, a blue sky, and a green hill. She was happy. + +But then, her mom saw her. She was angry. She said Sara was naughty. She said she had to stop painting. She said she had to clean the wall. Sara was scared. She did not want to clean the wall. She liked her picture. + +She ran to her dad. He was in his office. He was a writer. He wrote stories and books. He was busy. He did not see Sara. Sara said, "Dad, dad, please help me. Mom is mad at me. She wants me to clean the wall. But I painted a picture. It is a nice picture. Please protect me. Please protect my picture." + +Her dad looked at her. He saw her paints and brushes. He saw her sad face. He smiled. He said, "Sara, you are a good painter. But you should not paint on the wall. It is not good. It is not polite. You should paint on paper or canvas. They are for painting. They are useful. The wall is not for painting. It is for hanging pictures. Do you understand?" + +Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, dad, I understand. But I like my picture. Can I keep it? Can I hang it on the wall?" + +Her dad thought for a moment. He said, "Well, maybe we can make a deal. If you help mom clean the wall, I will help you make a copy of your picture. We can use a camera and a printer. Then, you can hang your copy on the wall. How does that sound?" + +Sara smiled. She said, "That sounds good, dad. Thank you. You are a good writer. And a good protector." + +Her dad hugged her. He said, "You are welcome, Sara. You are a good painter. And a good daughter." +One day, a lonely soldier was walking in the forest. He had no friends to talk to or play with. He only had his gun and his hat. He was very sad. + +He saw a big tree with many apples. He was hungry, so he picked an apple and ate it. It was sweet and juicy. He felt a little better. + +Then he heard a voice. "Hey, who are you? Why are you eating my apples?" It was a squirrel. The squirrel was angry. He lived in the tree and the apples were his. + +The soldier was scared. He pointed his gun at the squirrel. "I am a soldier. I can do what I want. These are my apples now. Go away or I will shoot you." + +The squirrel was not afraid. He said, "You are a bad soldier. You are not nice. You are not sharing. You are not making friends. You are only making enemies. You are not happy. You are lonely." + +The soldier felt ashamed. He realized the squirrel was right. He lowered his gun and said, "I am sorry, squirrel. You are right. I am a bad soldier.

She crawled behind the sofa and pulled the cushion over her. + +Tom counted to ten and then shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" He searched the kitchen, the bathroom, the bedroom, but he could not find Lily. He wondered where she was. He went to the living room and saw the fat sofa. He thought it looked a little strange. He decided to check it out. + +He walked to the sofa and lifted the cushion. He saw Lily's face and hair. He smiled and said, "I found you!" Lily was surprised and scared. She screamed and jumped out from behind the sofa. She ran to the other side of the room. Tom chased her and tried to catch her. + +They ran around the furniture and laughed. They had a lot of fun. They did not notice that the cushion had fallen on the floor. They also did not notice that the sofa had a hole in it. They did not know that something was hiding inside the hole. Something that did not like loud noises. Something that had sharp teeth and claws. Something that was about to peek out and join the game. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in nature. They see trees, flowers, birds and bugs. They have fun and learn new things. + +One day, they go to the lake with their moms. The lake is big and blue.

They know the tide can come in and out. + +One day, they see a big boat on the sea. It has a flag and a horn. They wonder who is on the boat and where it is going. They want to tell their mom and dad. + +They run back to their blanket where their mom and dad are reading. They point to the boat and say, "Look, look, a boat!" Their mom and dad smile and nod. They tell them the boat is going to another land. They tell them the boat has people and things on it. + +Lily and Ben are curious. They ask, "What people? What things?" Their mom and dad tell them some stories. They tell them about sailors and pirates, about fish and whales, about treasure and maps. They tell them the boat is an adventure. + +Lily and Ben listen with wide eyes. They imagine they are on the boat too. They feel the wind and the waves. They hear the horn and the flag. They see the land and the sky. They hug their mom and dad and say, "Thank you for telling us stories. We love you." + +Their mom and dad hug them back and say, "We love you too. You are our treasure." They kiss them on their soft cheeks and cuddle them on their blanket. They watch the boat until it is out of sight. They are happy and cozy on the beach. +Tim and Sue went to the farm with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens and sheep. They liked to feed them and pet them. But they were very curious about the big bull in the fence. He had horns, a ring in his nose and a loud moo. + +"Can we see the bull, Mom?" Tim asked. + +"Please, Mom, can we?" Sue added. + +Mom looked at the bull and said, "He is very interesting, but he is also very strong and sometimes angry. We have to be careful and stay away from the fence. We can watch him from here, but we cannot touch him or talk to him. He might get scared or mad." + +Tim and Sue nodded. They did not want to make the bull scared or mad. They watched him from a distance and saw how he ate grass, kicked dirt and shook his head. They wondered what he was thinking and feeling. They thought he was very interesting, but also very different from the other animals. They learned a lot from the farm. +One day, Tom and Anna were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they were bored. They wanted to see something new. + +"Let's look out the window," Tom said. "Maybe we can see something fun." + +"OK," Anna said. She liked to look out the window. She liked to see the birds, the cars, and the people. + +Tom and Anna went to the window. It was big and high. They could not reach it. They needed something to help them. + +"I have an idea," Tom said. He ran to the closet and took out a chair. He pushed it to the window. He climbed on the chair and lifted the window. He looked outside. + +"Wow, look at that!" he said. + +"What is it?" Anna asked. She climbed on the chair and looked outside too. + +They saw a big, round, shiny thing in the sky. It was not the sun, or the moon, or a star. It was something else. It was mysterious. + +"Is it a balloon?" Anna asked. + +"No, it is too big and too bright," Tom said. + +"Is it a plane?" Anna asked. + +"No, it is too quiet and too still," Tom said. + +"Then what is it?" Anna asked. + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe it is a spaceship." + +"A spaceship?" Anna said. "Do you think there are aliens inside?" + +"Maybe," Tom said. "Maybe they are friendly. Maybe they want to play with us." + +"Or maybe they are scary. Maybe they want to take us away," Anna said. + +They looked at the mysterious thing in the sky. They felt curious and afraid. They did not know what to do. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was their mom. She was calling them for lunch. + +"Tom, Anna, come downstairs. It's time to eat," she said. + +Tom and Anna looked at each other. They did not want to leave the window. They wanted to see the mysterious thing. + +But they also wanted to eat. They were hungry. + +"OK, mom, we're coming," they said. + +They closed the window and got off the chair. They put the chair back in the closet. They ran downstairs to the kitchen. + +They did not tell their mom about the mysterious thing. They thought she would not believe them. They thought she would say it was their imagination. + +But they did not forget. They wondered what it was. They wondered if it would come back. They wondered if they would ever see it again. +One day, a lazy cat named Max was lying on the sofa. He did not want to play with his toys, or chase the birds, or help his owner. He just wanted to sleep and yawn all day. + +"Max, come here!" his owner called. "I have a surprise for you!" + +Max opened one eye and saw his owner holding a hat. It was a big, red hat with a feather on it. Max did not like hats. He thought they were silly and itchy. + +"What is that?" Max asked. + +"It's a hat for you, Max!" his owner said. "You can wear it when we go for a walk. You will look so handsome and smart!" + +Max did not want to go for a walk. He did not want to wear a hat. He wanted to stay on the sofa. He yawned and turned his head away. + +"No, thank you," he said. "I don't like hats. I don't like walks. I like to sleep." + +His owner was sad. He put the hat on the table and left. He took his dog, Spot, for a walk instead. Spot was a happy and friendly dog. He liked to run and jump and bark. He liked to wear hats, too. He wore the big, red hat with a feather on it. He looked so handsome and smart. + +On the way, they met many people and animals. They all smiled and said hello to Spot. They all admired his hat. They all wanted to play with him.

He felt lonely and bored. He wished he had gone for a walk. He wished he had worn the hat. He wished he had been more friendly and playful. + +He learned a lesson that day. He learned that being lazy and grumpy is not fun. He learned that being happy and friendly is better. He learned that trying new things can be fun, too. He decided to change his ways. He decided to be more like Spot. + +The next day, when his owner called him, he jumped off the sofa. He ran to his owner and licked his face. He saw the hat on the table and put it on his head. He looked so handsome and smart. + +"Let's go for a walk, Max!" his owner said. "You look great in that hat!" + +Max wagged his tail and barked. He was ready to go. He was ready to have fun.

It was a big truck that came to the pool. The truck had a big net. The net was for catching the dolphins. The truck men wanted to take the dolphins away. The dolphins were scared.

She runs to the slide and waits in line. + +Ben is not happy. He wants to ride the slide too, but he is scared. He does not like the high and fast slide. He wants to ride the small and slow slide.

They will turn pink and smell yummy." + +Lila and Ben followed Mom to the stove. They watched her put the shrimp in the pan. They heard them sizzle and pop. They smelled them and licked their lips.

"It has six cars and a caboose!" + +"That's nice, but I like a short train better," Ben says, attaching only two cars to his engine. "It can go faster and fit in small spaces." + +They put their trains on the track and turn on the switch. The trains start to move, but soon they run into a problem. There is a pile of dirty clothes on the floor that blocks the track. + +"Oh no, the dirty clothes are in the way!" Lily says, stopping her train. "We have to move them or our trains will crash!" + +"Let's ask Mom to help us," Ben says, stopping his train too.

They tell her about the dirty clothes and the train. + +"Okay, I'll help you, but first you have to help me," Mom says. "Can you put these plates in the sink and wipe the table?" + +Lily and Ben nod and do what Mom asks. They are good helpers. Then Mom follows them to the living room and moves the dirty clothes to the basket. She also fixes the track and the switch. + +"Thank you, Mom!" Lily and Ben say, hugging her. + +"You're welcome, my sweeties," Mom says, smiling. "Now you can play with your train, but be careful and don't make a mess." + +Lily and Ben turn on the switch and watch their trains go. They are happy and have fun.
