They want to see what it is. + +They run to the water. They do not see the big wave. The big wave is fast and loud. It hits them and pulls them in. They are scared. They try to swim and shout. But the water is too strong and too icy. They cannot breathe. + +Mom and Dad are on the shore. They see Tom and Jen in the water. They are shocked. They run to help them. But they are too late. The big wave takes Tom and Jen away. They are gone. + +Mom and Dad cry. They blink and blink. They hope it is a bad dream. But it is not. It is real. Tom and Jen are not on the shore. They are not in the water. They are not anywhere. They are gone. +Lily and Tom were going to a hotel with Mom and Dad. They were very happy. They packed their toys and clothes in a big bag. Mom and Dad put the bag in the car. + +"Are we there yet?" Lily asked. + +"Soon, sweetie," Mom said. "Look, there is the hotel. It is very big and gray." + +Lily and Tom looked out the window. They saw the hotel. It had many windows and doors. It looked like a castle. + +They got out of the car. Dad took the bag from the trunk. He carried it to the hotel. Lily and Tom followed him. They saw a man in a uniform. He smiled at them. + +"Hello, welcome to the hotel," he said. "Do you need help with your bag?" + +"No, thank you, I got it," Dad said. + +But then, Dad tripped on a stone. He dropped the bag. The bag opened. The toys and clothes fell out. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Tom cried. + +They ran to pick up their things. The man in the uniform helped them. He was very nice. + +"I'm sorry, I'm so clumsy," Dad said. + +"It's okay, don't worry," the man said. "It happens to everyone. Let me show you to your room." + +He took the bag and led them to the hotel. Lily and Tom followed him. They hoped their room would be nice. They wanted to play with their toys. They were still happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs and stones. Sometimes they found shiny things or pretty things, but most of the time they found dirt and worms. + +One day, Tom found something different. It was black and hard and not shiny at all. He showed it to Lily and asked, "What is this?" + +Lily looked at it and said, "I don't know. Maybe it is coal." + +"Coal?" Tom asked. "What is coal?" + +Lily shrugged. "I heard mom mention it once. She said it is something people use to make fire. But we don't have fire here. We have a stove and a heater." + +Tom nodded. He wondered why people would use coal to make fire. He thought fire was scary and hot and dangerous. He did not like fire. + +He decided he did not like coal either. He threw it away and said, "Let's find something else. Something shiny or pretty or fun." + +Lily agreed. They dug another hole and forgot about the coal. They had more fun with the bugs and stones. They did not need coal to play. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play outside. Today is cold and windy. Mom says they need to wear jackets. + +"Here, Tom, wear this blue jacket. It is warm and cozy," Mom says. + +"No, Mom, I want the yellow jacket. It is bright and fun," Tom says. + +"But, Lily has the yellow jacket. She likes it too. You can share," Mom says. + +"No, Mom, I want the yellow jacket. It is mine. Lily can have the blue jacket," Tom says. + +Lily hears Tom. She is sad. She likes the yellow jacket. She does not want the blue jacket. + +"Tom, please, can I have the yellow jacket? I love it. It is soft and pretty," Lily says. + +"No, Lily, you cannot have the yellow jacket. It is mine. You can have the blue jacket," Tom says. + +Lily cries. Mom is angry. She takes the yellow jacket from Tom. + +"Tom, you are not nice. You need to share with Lily. She is your sister. You can have the yellow jacket another day. Today, you will wear the blue jacket," Mom says. + +Tom cries too. He does not want the blue jacket. He wants the yellow jacket. + +Mom puts the blue jacket on Tom. She puts the yellow jacket on Lily. She takes them outside. + +"Come on, Tom and Lily, let's go to the park. We can spend some time there. We can play on the swings and the slide. We can have fun," Mom says. + +Tom and Lily stop crying. They like the park. They like to play. They forget about the jackets. They run and laugh. They have fun. Mom smiles. She is happy. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but they did not like to put them away. Their room was messy and their mom was not happy. + +One day, mom said, "Lily and Max, you need to clean your room. It is too dirty and you can lose your things. I will help you, but you have to be organized. Do you know what that means?" + +Lily and Max shook their heads. They did not know what organized meant. + +Mom said, "Organized means you put things where they belong. For example, you put your books on the shelf, your toys in the box, and your clothes in the closet. Then you can find them easily and your room looks nice. Do you want to try?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They wanted to make mom happy and they wanted to find their things. They followed mom to their room and started to clean up. + +Lily picked up her bathrobe from the floor and hung it on a hook. She said, "Look, mom, I put my bathrobe where it belongs. Is that organized?" + +Mom said, "Yes, Lily, that is very organized. Good job!" + +Max saw his ball under the bed and rolled it out. He said, "Look, mom, I found my ball. I love my ball. Can I play with it?" + +Mom said, "Not now, Max. You have to put your ball in the box with your other toys. Then you can play with it later. That is organized." + +Max did not want to put his ball away. He wanted to play with it now. He said, "No, mom, I want to play now. Watch me jump with my ball!" + +Max threw his ball in the air and jumped to catch it. He jumped high and low, left and right. He jumped on the bed and on the chair. He jumped so much that he knocked over the box of toys and the shelf of books. He made a big mess. + +Mom said, "Oh, no, Max, what are you doing? You are not organized. You are making more mess. Stop jumping and help us clean up." + +Max stopped jumping and looked at the mess. He saw Lily's angry face and mom's sad face. He felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I was having fun, but I made a mess. I will help you clean up. I will be organized." + +Max put his ball in the box and helped Lily and mom put the toys and books back. He said, "Look, mom, I am organized now. Is that better?" + +Mom said, "Yes, Max, that is much better. Thank you for helping. I am proud of you and Lily. You are both organized now. Your room looks nice. How do you feel?" + +Lily and Max smiled. They felt happy and proud. They said, "We feel good, mom. We like our room. We like being organized. Can we play now?" + +Mom said, "Yes, you can play now. But remember to put your things away when you are done. That is being organized. I love you, Lily and Max." + +Lily and Max hugged mom and said, "We love you, mom. Thank you for helping us. We will be organized." They took their ball and their bathrobe and played together. They had fun and they were organized. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to create things with clay. They made animals, cars, houses and more. They had fun and shared their clay with each other. + +One day, Tom found a big jar of glue in his dad's workshop. He thought it would be fun to use the glue to make his clay things stick together better. He did not ask his dad if he could use the glue. He took the jar and went to Sue's house. + +"Look what I have!" Tom said to Sue. "It is glue. It makes things stick. Let's use it on our clay things." + +Sue was curious. She wanted to try the glue too. She did not think it was wrong to use Tom's glue. She did not know it was his dad's glue. She said, "OK, let's use the glue." + +They opened the jar and poured some glue on their clay things. They stuck them together and made bigger things. They thought it was fun and cool. They did not notice that the jar had a leak. The glue dripped out of the jar and onto the floor. + +Soon, the floor was covered with glue. The glue was sticky and hard to clean. Tom and Sue tried to wipe it with a cloth, but the cloth got stuck too. They tried to move the jar, but the jar got stuck too. They tried to pull their clay things apart, but they broke and crumbled. They were sad and scared. + +Tom's dad came to Sue's house. He saw the mess and the leak. He was angry and disappointed. He said, "Tom, what have you done? You took my glue without asking. You made a big mess and wasted the glue. You ruined your clay things and Sue's floor. You were not careful and respectful. You were naughty and selfish." + +Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, dad. I'm sorry, Sue. I wanted to create something fun and cool. I did not mean to make a mess and a leak. I did not know the glue was yours. I did not think it was wrong. I was silly and foolish." + +Sue felt sorry too. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry, Tom's dad. I wanted to try the glue too. I did not know it was wrong. I did not think it would make a mess and a leak. I was curious and careless." + +Tom's dad said, "You both made a mistake. You both need to learn from it. You need to ask before you use something that is not yours. You need to be careful and respectful with other people's things. You need to clean up your mess and fix your leak. You need to say sorry and mean it. You need to be honest and responsible." + +Tom and Sue nodded. They said, "We understand. We will do better. We are sorry. We will clean up and fix the leak. We will be honest and responsible." + +Tom's dad helped them clean up and fix the leak. He was still angry, but he was also proud. He saw that they were sorry and willing to learn. He said, "It is OK to create and have fun, but you need to do it the right way. You need to use your own things or ask for permission. You need to be careful and respectful. You need to be honest and responsible. That is how you create and have fun without making a mess and a leak." + +Tom and Sue hugged him. They said, "Thank you, dad. Thank you for helping us and teaching us. We love you. We will create and have fun the right way." + +They learned their lesson. They did not use the glue again. They used their clay and their imagination. They created and had fun without making a mess and a leak. They were happy and good friends. + +The end. +Tim and Lily were playing outside in the park. It was cold and windy, so they wore their jackets and hats. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. + +"Look, Tim, a big hill!" Lily said. "Let's climb it!" + +"OK, Lily, let's go!" Tim said. They ran to the hill and started to climb. It was hard and steep, but they did not give up. + +They reached the top and looked around. They saw the trees, the birds, the sky, and the other children. They felt happy and proud. + +"Wow, this is so nice!" Lily said. "We are so high!" + +"Yes, we are!" Tim said. "But we should go down soon. It is getting dark and cold." + +"OK, Tim, let's go down. But first, let's shout something loud!" Lily said. + +"OK, Lily, what do you want to shout?" Tim said. + +Lily thought for a moment. Then she said, "Let's shout, 'We are the best!'" + +"OK, Lily, let's shout, 'We are the best!'" Tim said. + +They took a deep breath and shouted together, "We are the best!" + +But then, Tim felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to stop it, but he could not. He sneezed very loud. + +"Achoo!" + +Lily looked at him and laughed. "Tim, you sneezed!" + +Tim felt embarrassed. He rubbed his nose and said, "Sorry, Lily, I sneezed. I hope I did not scare the birds." + +Lily smiled and said, "It's OK, Tim, you sneezed. It happens to everyone. But let's go down now. Maybe you need a tissue." + +"OK, Lily, let's go down. You are a good friend." Tim said. + +They held hands and walked down the hill. They were slow and careful, but they still had fun. They went back to their parents, who were waiting for them. They hugged them and told them about their adventure. + +They were happy and tired. They had a good day. +Sara and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big well. It had a rope and a bucket. + +"Let's see what is in the well," Tom said. He pulled the rope and the bucket came up. It was empty. + +"Maybe there is something deeper," Sara said. She wanted to look inside the well. She leaned over the edge and peered down. + +"Be careful, Sara," Tom said. He held her hand. "It is dark and deep." + +Sara did not listen. She wanted to see more. She let go of Tom's hand and leaned more. She lost her balance and fell into the well. + +"Help, help!" Sara cried. She was scared and wet. She could not see anything. + +Tom was shocked and sad. He tried to pull the rope and the bucket, but they were too heavy. He could not lift them. He shouted for help, but no one came. He did not know what to do. + +He missed Sara. He wished he could get her out of the well. He wished they had not played near the well. He wished they had stayed calm and safe in the park. He cried and cried. He was alone. +Lily and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and climb on the equipment. But Lily was shy and did not talk to other kids. She only played with Sam, her best friend. + +One day, a big boy came to the park. He was loud and rude. He pushed Lily and Sam off the swing. He said, "This is my swing. Go away, you babies." Lily and Sam were scared and ran away. + +The big boy swung higher and higher. He laughed and shouted. He did not care about anyone. He swung so high that he broke the chain of the swing. He fell down and hurt his leg. He cried and screamed. + +Lily and Sam heard the noise. They came back to see what happened. They saw the big boy on the ground. He was bleeding and crying. He looked very sad and sorry. + +Lily and Sam felt sorry for him. They went to him and asked, "Are you okay? Do you need help?" The big boy was surprised. He said, "You are not mad at me? You are not scared of me?" Lily and Sam shook their heads. They said, "No, we are not. We are kind. We are friends." + +The big boy smiled. He said, "Thank you. You are nice. I am sorry for being mean. Can I be your friend too?" Lily and Sam nodded. They said, "Yes, you can. But you have to be nice too. And you have to share the equipment. And you have to say sorry to the park lady for breaking the swing." The big boy agreed. He said, "Okay, I will. I am sorry. I will be nice. I will share. I will say sorry." + +Lily and Sam helped him up. They took him to the park lady. They told her what happened. The park lady was angry at first. But she saw that the big boy was sorry. She said, "I am glad you learned your lesson. I hope you will be more careful and respectful next time. I will call your mom to pick you up. And you will have to pay for the broken swing." + +The big boy nodded. He said, "I understand. I am sorry. I will pay. I will be careful. I will be respectful." He turned to Lily and Sam. He said, "Thank you for being my friends. You are the best. Can I play with you again?" Lily and Sam smiled. They said, "Yes, you can. But only if you are nice. And only if you share. And only if you say sorry when you make a mistake." The big boy nodded. He said, "I will. I promise. You are my friends. You are the best." They hugged and said goodbye. They were happy. They learned to be kind, to share, and to forgive. +Lily and Max were on a boat with their mom and dad. They were going to a warm island for a holiday. Lily was happy, but Max was not. He did not like boats. He felt sick and scared. + +"Look, Max, there is the island!" Lily said, pointing to the green land with palm trees. "It is so pretty! We can play on the sand and swim in the water!" + +"I don't want to go to the island," Max said, holding his tummy. "I want to go home. I don't like boats. I don't like water. I don't like sand." + +"Max, don't be silly," Mom said, hugging him. "The island is fun. You will like it when you see it. The boat will stop soon. Then you can get off and feel better." + +"No, no, no," Max said, shaking his head. "I want to stay on the boat. I don't want to get off." + +Lily felt sorry for Max. She knew he was scared. She wanted to help him. She had an idea. She took her teddy bear and gave it to Max. + +"Here, Max, this is Teddy. He is my best friend. He likes boats and islands and water and sand. He is not scared of anything. He will keep you company. He will make you brave. He will make you happy." + +Max looked at the teddy bear. He saw its brown fur and black eyes and red bow. He saw its smile and its nose. He felt its softness and its warmth. He liked the teddy bear. He hugged it and said, "Thank you, Lily. Teddy is nice. He is your best friend. He is my best friend too." + +Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, Max. I love you. You are my best friend too." She leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. + +Max felt better. He felt less sick and less scared. He felt loved. He looked at the island again. He saw the sun and the sky and the birds. He saw the flowers and the fruits and the people. He saw the sand and the water and the fish. He thought the island was pretty. He thought it was fun. He wanted to go to the island. He said, "Lily, look, there is the island! It is so pretty! We can play on the sand and swim in the water!" + +Lily and Max laughed and clapped. They were happy. They were excited. They were ready to go to the island. Mom and Dad smiled and kissed. They were happy too. They were proud of their children. They were looking forward to their holiday. The boat stopped. They got off. They went to the island. They had a wonderful time. The end. +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play in the yard. One day, they see a line of ants. The ants are carrying food to their home. + +"Look, Kim, the ants are working hard. They are storing food for winter," Tim says. + +"Can we store food too, Tim? I want to be like the ants," Kim says. + +They run to the kitchen and find some bread and cheese. They put them in a basket and go back to the yard. They look for a good place to store their food. + +They see a big tree with a hole. They think it is a good place to store their food. They put the basket in the hole and cover it with leaves. + +"Good job, Kim. Now we have food for winter too," Tim says. + +They are happy and proud. They do not see a shy squirrel watching them from the tree. The squirrel is hungry and curious. He waits for them to leave. Then he sneaks to the hole and takes the basket. He runs away with the bread and cheese. + +Tim and Kim do not know that their food is gone. They go back to the house and tell their mom what they did. + +"That's very nice, Tim and Kim. You are very smart and helpful. But you know, you don't need to store food for winter. We have enough food in the house. And the ants have their own food too. They might not like it if you take their food," mom says. + +Tim and Kim are surprised. They did not think of that. They feel sorry for the ants. + +"Sorry, mom. We did not mean to take the ants' food. We just wanted to be like them," they say. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. + +"It's okay, Tim and Kim. I know you meant well. But next time, why don't you ask me first before you store food in the yard? You never know who might find it and take it," mom says. + +Tim and Kim nod and agree. They wonder who took their food. They do not know it was the shy squirrel. The shy squirrel is happy and full. He thanks the twins for their food. He thinks they are very kind and generous. +Lily was a quiet girl who liked to read books and draw pictures. She did not like loud noises or big crowds. One day, her mom and dad had to go to a place where a lawyer worked. They said they had to talk to him about something important. They asked Lily to come with them and be good. + +Lily did not want to go, but she had no choice. She brought her favorite book and a crayon to keep herself busy. The place where the lawyer worked was very big and busy. There were many people talking and walking and making noise. Lily felt scared and nervous. She held her mom's hand tightly. + +The lawyer was a nice man who smiled and said hello to Lily. He had a big desk with many papers and books on it. He asked Lily's mom and dad to sit down and talk to him. He said he would try to help them with their problem. Lily sat on a chair next to her mom and opened her book. + +But as soon as the lawyer started to talk, a loud scream came from outside the door. Lily jumped and dropped her book and crayon. She looked up and saw a man running down the hall, shouting and waving his arms. He looked angry and crazy. He was followed by two other men who tried to catch him and calm him down. + +Lily was so scared that she started to scream too. She ran to her dad and hugged him. She wanted to go home and be safe. She did not like this place at all. Her mom and dad tried to comfort her and tell her it was okay. The lawyer said he was sorry and that the man was just a bad client who had lost his case. He said he would finish his talk with Lily's mom and dad later. He gave Lily a candy and a sticker to make her feel better. + +Lily took the candy and the sticker, but she still felt sad and scared. She wished she could be quiet and happy again. She hoped the bad man would not come back and scream again. She hoped her mom and dad would solve their problem soon and take her home. She hoped she would never have to go to the place where the lawyer worked again. +Tom is a famous doctor. He helps people with their brains. He has a big machine that can spray water on the brain.

Mom and Dad took pictures of them. + +Then they came to the lion cage. The lions were sleeping on the grass. Lily and Sam wanted to see them better. They saw a sign that said "Do not climb". But they did not listen. They climbed on the fence to get closer. + +"Stop!" Mom and Dad shouted. "That is not safe. You could fall and hurt yourself. Or the lions could wake up and get angry. You have to follow the rules. They are there to protect you and the animals." + +Lily and Sam felt scared. They climbed down quickly. They said sorry to Mom and Dad. They learned their lesson. They did not climb on any fence again. They enjoyed the rest of the zoo. They saw the new animals. They liked the zebras, the bears, and the kangaroos. + +The moral of the story is: You should obey the signs and the rules. They are there for your safety and the animals' well-being. You should not do things that are not permitted. You should respect the zoo and the animals. +Ben likes to play with his helicopter. It is red and blue and makes a loud noise.

He wanted to get all the cards and win the game. + +"Look, I have a cat and a cat!" Ben said, showing his cards to Lily. "You have a dog and a fish. They are not the same. I get your cards!" + +"No, you don't!" Lily said, holding her cards tight. "That's not fair. You have to take turns. It's my turn now. Let me get a card from the pile." + +Ben did not listen. He tried to grab Lily's cards. Lily got angry. She pushed Ben away. Ben got angry too. He pushed Lily back. They both started to cry. + +Mom heard the noise. She came to see what was wrong. She saw the cards on the floor and the tears on their faces. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. + +"Ben wanted to get all my cards and win the game. He did not let me take a turn. He was mean!" Lily said. + +"Lily did not let me get her cards. She pushed me. She was mean!" Ben said. + +Mom sighed. She picked up the cards and put them in a box. She hugged Ben and Lily. + +"Playing games is fun, but you have to follow the rules. You have to share and be nice to each other. You have to say sorry when you make a mistake. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said sorry to each other. They gave each other a hug. + +"Can we play another game?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but this time, let's play a game that we both like. How about puzzles?" Lily said. + +"OK, I like puzzles. Let's go get the puzzles!" Ben said. + +They smiled and ran to get the puzzles. Mom smiled too. She was glad they made up. She hoped they would play nicely. +Lila was a very intelligent sheep. She liked to learn new things and ask questions. She also liked to help other sheep who had problems. One day, she saw a big fence that part the field in two. She wondered why the fence was there and what was on the other side. + +She asked her friend Tom, who was also a sheep, if he knew. Tom said he did not know, but he was afraid of the fence. He said the fence was there to keep them away from something bad. He said he heard loud noises and scary smells from the other side. He said they should stay away from the fence and be happy with their grass and water. + +Lila was not satisfied with Tom's answer. She wanted to see for herself what was on the other side. She said to Tom, "I am not afraid of the fence. I want to know more. Maybe there is something good on the other side. Maybe there are other sheep who need our help. Maybe there are new things to learn. I am going to the fence and look for a way to cross it. Do you want to come with me?" + +Tom was scared, but he did not want to lose his friend. He said to Lila, "I do not want to go to the fence, but I do not want you to go alone. I will come with you, but only if you promise to be careful and come back soon. I do not want to get in trouble or get hurt." + +Lila agreed and thanked Tom for being a good friend. They walked together to the fence and looked for a gap or a hole. They found one that was big enough for them to squeeze through. They part the fence and went to the other side. They saw a lot of new things that they had never seen before. They saw cars and houses and people and dogs and cats and birds and flowers and trees. They were amazed and curious. They wanted to explore and learn more. They did not notice that they were getting farther and farther from the fence and their field. They did not notice that some people and dogs were watching them and following them. They did not notice that they were in danger. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their dog Spot. They liked to run and jump and slide and swing. Spot liked to chase and bark and fetch and roll. They were having a lot of fun. + +But then they saw a big, black cloud in the sky. It was getting dark and windy. They heard a loud boom. It was thunder. They saw a bright flash. It was lightning. They were scared. + +"Mommy, Daddy, where are you?" Tom cried. + +"Let's go home, Tom. It's going to rain," Lily said. + +They grabbed Spot's leash and ran to the gate. But the gate was locked. They could not get out. They tried to push and pull and kick and shout. But the gate did not move. They were stuck. + +"Help, help, someone help us!" Lily screamed. + +They heard a voice. It was their neighbor, Mr. Brown. He was walking by the park with his big, thick umbrella. He saw Tom and Lily and Spot. + +"Hello, kids, what's wrong?" he asked. + +"The gate is locked. We can't get out. It's going to rain. We're scared," Tom said. + +"Don't worry, kids, I'll rescue you. I have a key. I'll open the gate for you," Mr. Brown said. + +He took out his key and unlocked the gate. He opened it and let Tom and Lily and Spot out. He gave them his big, thick umbrella. + +"Thank you, Mr. Brown. You're very kind," Lily said. + +"You're welcome, kids. Now hurry home. It's going to rain soon," Mr. Brown said. + +Tom and Lily and Spot ran home. They were happy and safe. They hugged their mommy and daddy. They told them what happened. They thanked Mr. Brown again. + +Mommy and daddy gave them a warm hug and a hot snack. They ate some soup and bread and cheese. They drank some milk and juice. They felt better. + +They looked out the window and saw the rain. They heard the thunder and saw the lightning. But they were not scared anymore. They had each other and they had Spot. And they had a friend who rescued them. They smiled and said: + +"Mr. Brown is the best!" +Lily and Sam went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They were very happy and excited. + +When they came to the gorilla house, they saw a big gorilla sitting on a rock. He looked sad and bored. Lily wanted to say hello to him. She waved her hand and said, "Hi, gorilla! What is your name?" + +But the gorilla did not answer. He did not look at Lily. He ignored her. Lily felt sad. She asked her mom, "Why does the gorilla ignore me? Does he not like me?" + +Her mom said, "No, Lily, the gorilla does not ignore you because he does not like you. He ignores you because he is not happy here. He misses his home and his family in the forest. He does not have many friends here. He is lonely." + +Lily felt sorry for the gorilla. She wanted to make him happy. She said, "Mom, can we give him something? Maybe a banana or a toy?" + +Her mom said, "That is very kind of you, Lily. But we cannot give him anything. The zookeepers take care of him and give him what he needs. We can only watch him and be respectful. Maybe he will feel better if we smile at him and talk to him gently." + +Lily and Sam nodded. They smiled at the gorilla and said, "We hope you feel better, gorilla. We are your friends. You are very big and strong and beautiful." + +The gorilla heard them. He looked at them. He saw their kind faces and heard their kind words. He felt a little bit better. He smiled back at them and made a soft sound. He did not ignore them anymore. He thanked them in his own way. Lily and Sam were very happy. They said, "You are welcome, gorilla. We are glad you are happy." +Sara and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. Sara had a lot of purple blocks. She liked purple. It was her favorite color. + +"Can I have some purple blocks, please?" Ben asked Sara. He wanted to make a purple roof for his house. + +"No, they are mine!" Sara said. She did not want to share. She hugged her purple blocks. + +"That's not nice, Sara. You have to share with your brother," Mom said. She came into the room and saw Sara and Ben. She did not like to see them fight. + +"But I love purple, Mom. Ben has other colors. He can use them," Sara said. She pouted. + +Mom sighed. She knew Sara loved purple, but she also wanted her to be kind. She had an idea. "How about we play a game, Sara and Ben? We can take turns dropping the blocks into a bucket. The one who drops the most blocks wins. And you can use any color you want." + +Sara and Ben liked games. They agreed to play. Mom gave them a big bucket. Sara and Ben started to drop the blocks into the bucket. They counted as they dropped. "One, two, three, four, five..." + +Sara dropped her purple blocks first. She wanted to win. But then she saw that Ben had more blocks than her. He had red and blue and green and yellow blocks. He dropped them faster than Sara. + +"Six, seven, eight, nine, ten..." Ben said. He smiled. He was winning. + +Sara felt sad. She wished she had more blocks. She looked at the bucket. It was full of colors. It was pretty. She saw some purple blocks at the bottom. She wanted them back. + +She reached into the bucket. She tried to grab the purple blocks. But the bucket was too heavy. It tipped over. The blocks spilled out. They made a loud noise. + +"Oops!" Sara said. She dropped the bucket. + +Mom, Sara, and Ben looked at the mess. They saw the blocks all over the floor. They saw the purple blocks mixed with the other colors. They saw each other's faces. + +They started to laugh. They laughed and laughed. They did not care who won. They had fun. They picked up the blocks. They shared them. They played together. They had a good day. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is not on a leash. It runs towards them and barks. + +"Help!" Tim cries. He is scared of the dog. + +Sam is not scared. He is humble. He knows the dog is not bad. He wants to serve his brother. He stands in front of Tim and says, "Shoo, dog! Go away!" + +The dog stops. It wags its tail. It likes Sam. It licks his hand. Sam pets the dog. He smiles. + +"See, Tim? The dog is friendly. He just wants to play. You are safe," Sam says. + +Tim comes out from behind Sam. He is still a little scared, but he trusts his brother. He touches the dog's fur. It is soft. He smiles, too. + +"Thank you, Sam. You are brave and kind. You served me well," Tim says. + +They play with the dog until its owner comes. The owner is sorry. He says he forgot the leash. He thanks Sam and Tim for being nice to his dog. He gives them a treat. They say goodbye to the dog and the owner. They go home happy. They are humble and safe. +Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. It was cold, so they wore their coats. Ben had a blue coat and Lily had a pink coat. They liked to play on the swings and the slide. + +"Can we have ice cream, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"OK, but only one scoop each," Mom said. "And you have to finish your lunch first." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They ate their sandwiches and drank their juice. Then they ran to the ice cream truck. The ice cream man was loud. He rang a bell and shouted, "Ice cream, ice cream, who wants ice cream?" + +"I want chocolate," Ben said. + +"I want vanilla," Lily said. + +The ice cream man smiled. He took their money and gave them their ice cream. He put the ice cream on cones and wrapped them in napkins. + +"Here you go, kids. Enjoy your ice cream," he said. + +"Thank you," Ben and Lily said. + +They licked their ice cream and smiled. It was yummy. They went back to Mom and showed her their ice cream. + +"Wow, that looks good," Mom said. "But don't forget to put your coats back on. It's still cold." + +Ben and Lily put their coats back on. They finished their ice cream and threw the napkins in the trash. Then they played some more on the swings and the slide. They had a fun day at the park. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to watch the planes in the sky. They pretended to be pilots and made zooming noises. + +"Look, Lily, a big plane!" Tom yelled, pointing at a shiny silver plane. "It's so fast and loud!" + +Lily looked up and saw the plane too. She smiled and waved at it. "Hello, plane!" she yelled back. "Can you take us for a ride?" + +The plane did not hear them. It was flying very low and very fast. It was not a good plane. It was a bad plane. It had a bomb inside. + +The bomb went boom. The plane broke into pieces. The pieces fell down on the park. They made fire and smoke and noise. They hurt Lily and Tom and the other people. + +Lily and Tom were scared and sad. They cried and hugged each other. They wanted their mom and dad. But their mom and dad did not come. They were hurt too. The bad plane hurt everyone. The end. +Tom and Lily were playing by the river. They liked to throw stones and watch them splash. They saw a big bridge that crossed the river. It was made of wood and metal. + +"Let's go to the bridge!" Tom said. He ran towards it. + +"No, Tom, don't go!" Lily said. She was scared of the bridge. It looked old and shaky. She thought it might fall down. She followed Tom and tried to stop him. + +Tom reached the bridge and climbed on it. He laughed and jumped. He pointed at the river and said, "Look, Lily, it's so high and fun!" + +Lily was very angry and sad. She shouted at Tom, "Tom, you are stupid! The bridge is dangerous! You can fall and hurt yourself! Come down now!" + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He thought she was silly and boring. He kept jumping and pointing. He did not see the big hole in the bridge. He stepped on it and fell through. He screamed and landed in the water. + +Lily ran to the edge of the bridge. She saw Tom in the water. He was wet and cold and scared. He cried and called for help. Lily felt sorry for Tom. She threw a rope to him and pulled him out. + +Tom was very sorry and ashamed. He hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are right. The bridge is dangerous. I was stupid. I will not do that again." + +Lily forgave Tom and said, "It's okay, Tom. I'm glad you are safe. Let's go home and get dry." + +They walked home together, holding hands. They learned a lesson and stayed away from the bridge. +Ben and Mia like to play with blocks. They make big buildings with the blocks. They make houses, castles, towers and bridges. They have fun with the blocks. + +One day, a new kid comes to play with them. His name is Max. He has a big bag of blocks. He says he can make fancier buildings than Ben and Mia. He says his blocks are better and prettier. He does not want to share his blocks. + +Ben and Mia are sad. They want to play with Max and his blocks. They ask him nicely if they can join him. But Max says no. He says they are not good enough to play with him. He says he will make the best building ever and they can only watch. + +Max starts to build his fancy building. He uses many blocks of different colors and shapes. He makes a tall and wide building. He puts windows, doors, roofs and flags on it. He says it is a palace. He says it is the most beautiful building in the world. + +But then, something bad happens. A big dog comes to the playground. The dog sees Max's building. The dog thinks it is a toy. The dog runs to the building and knocks it down. The dog starts to chew on the blocks. He breaks them and makes them dirty. He makes a big mess. + +Max is very angry and sad. He cries and shouts at the dog. He tries to get his blocks back. But the dog is bigger and stronger than him. The dog does not listen to him. The dog keeps chewing on the blocks. + +Ben and Mia feel sorry for Max. They go to help him. They try to calm the dog down. They give the dog some treats and toys. They make the dog happy and friendly. They get some of Max's blocks back. They say they are sorry for his building. + +Max stops crying and shouting. He looks at Ben and Mia. He sees that they are nice and kind. He feels bad for being mean to them. He says he is sorry too. He says he was wrong to be rude and selfish. He says he wants to be friends with them. + +Ben and Mia smile and hug Max. They say they are happy to be friends with him. They say they can share their blocks and play together. They say they can make new buildings with their blocks. They say they can make fun and fancy buildings. They say they can make buildings for everyone, even for the dog. +Anna and Ben like to play with stamps. They have many stamps with different pictures and colors. They use the stamps to make cards and drawings for their friends and family. + +One day, Anna and Ben find a new stamp in their box. It is a big stamp with a beautiful flower on it. Anna wants to use the stamp first, but Ben says he saw it first. They start to argue and pull the stamp from each other. + +"Give me the stamp!" Anna says. + +"No, it is mine!" Ben says. + +They tug and tug until the stamp tears in half. Anna and Ben are both sad and angry. They look at the broken stamp and cry. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the stamp and hugs them. + +"I'm sorry, my loves. It was an accident. But you know, fighting is not nice. You have to share and take turns. Can you say sorry to each other and make up?" + +Anna and Ben nod and wipe their tears. They say sorry and hug each other. They decide to use the other stamps and make a new card with the pieces of the broken stamp. They write "We love you, Mom" on the card and give it to her. + +Mom smiles and kisses them. She says, "You are very sweet and brave. You know how to surrender and forgive. I'm proud of you. And I love your card. It is very beautiful." +Sam liked to perform for his mom and dad. He would sing and dance and make funny faces. He was very good at it and they always clapped and smiled. But one day, they brought home a new machine. It was big and shiny and had many buttons and lights. They said it was a smart machine that could do many things. + +Sam was curious about the machine, but he also felt jealous. He wanted his mom and dad to watch him perform, not the machine. He tried to get their attention, but they were too busy playing with the machine. They asked him to be quiet and wait his turn. Sam felt angry and sad. He decided to do something bad. + +He waited until his mom and dad were not looking. Then he sneaked into the room where the machine was. He saw a cord that connected the machine to the wall. He thought that if he pulled the cord, the machine would stop working. Then his mom and dad would have to watch him perform again. He grabbed the cord and yanked it hard. + +But he did not know that the machine was very powerful and dangerous. When he pulled the cord, he made a big spark. The spark flew into the machine and made a loud boom. The machine exploded and sent pieces of metal and fire everywhere. Sam screamed and ran away. He was scared and hurt. + +His mom and dad heard the noise and rushed into the room. They saw the mess and the smoke and the broken machine. They also saw Sam, who was crying and bleeding. They were shocked and angry and worried. They shouted at Sam and asked him what he had done. They said he was a naughty and foolish boy. They said he had ruined the machine and hurt himself and them. They said he had to go to the hospital and to his room and to time out. They said they did not want to watch him perform anymore. Sam felt sorry and ashamed. He wished he had not been so lazy and jealous. He wished he had been a good boy. He wished he had a happy ending. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run around. But it was a very hot day and they soon felt thirsty and tired. + +"Mom, can we have some juice?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey. There is some juice in the cooler. Go and get it, but be careful not to spill it," mom said. + +Tom and Lily ran to the cooler, which was under a big tree. They opened it and saw two bottles of juice, one red and one yellow. + +"I want the red one!" Tom said. + +"No, I want the red one!" Lily said. + +They both reached for the same bottle and pulled it hard. The bottle popped open and the juice squirted everywhere. Tom and Lily got wet and sticky. + +"Oops!" they said. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the mess and was not happy. + +"Tom and Lily, what did you do? You wasted the juice and made a mess. You should have shared and been careful," mom said. + +Tom and Lily felt bad. They said sorry to mom and helped her clean up. They also said sorry to each other and hugged. + +"Can we still have some juice, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, you can. But only the yellow one. The red one is gone," mom said. + +Tom and Lily drank the yellow juice. It was cold and sweet. They felt better. + +"Mom, can we play some more?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey. But not too much. It is still very hot and you might get dizzy," mom said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They went back to the park and played some more. But they did not ignore mom's words. They drank water, rested in the shade and had fun. They were good kids. +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play outside in summer. They liked to run, jump, swing and slide. They had fun every day. + +But summer did not last. The days became shorter and colder. The leaves turned yellow and brown. Anna and Ben had to go to school. They did not like school. They had to sit, listen, write and read. They did not have fun. + +One day, Anna and Ben decided to skip school. They wanted to play outside like in summer. They took their bikes and rode to the park. They saw the swing and the slide. They smiled and ran to them. + +But the park was different. The swing was broken and the slide was wet. There were no other children. There were only big dogs. The dogs barked and chased Anna and Ben. Anna and Ben were scared. They tried to run back to their bikes. + +But it was too late. The dogs caught them and bit them. Anna and Ben cried and screamed. They wished they had gone to school. They wished summer had not finished. They wished the park was not different. But it was. And they were hurt. The end. +Lily was a little girl who liked to eat meat. She liked meat more than bread, cheese, or fruit. She liked meat so much that she always requested meat for her lunch and dinner. + +One day, her mom said, "Lily, we have no more meat in the fridge. We have to go to the store and buy some more. Do you want to come with me?" + +Lily nodded and put on her shoes. She was excited to go to the store and see all the different kinds of meat. She hoped her mom would buy her some chicken, or beef, or pork. + +At the store, Lily and her mom went to the meat section. Lily saw many kinds of meat. She saw regular meat, like chicken, beef, and pork. She also saw some meat that looked strange to her. She saw meat that was pink, or green, or purple. She saw meat that had spikes, or feathers, or scales. + +Lily pointed at the strange meat and asked her mom, "What is that?" + +Her mom said, "That is not regular meat, Lily. That is meat from other animals, like fish, or birds, or dinosaurs. Some people like to eat them, but we don't." + +Lily made a face and said, "I don't like that meat. I only like regular meat. Can we buy some regular meat, please?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. We can buy some regular meat. You can choose one kind of regular meat for today. Which one do you want?" + +Lily looked at the regular meat and thought for a moment. Then she said, "I want chicken. Chicken is my favorite regular meat." + +Her mom said, "Okay, Lily. We will buy some chicken. And maybe tomorrow, we can try some new meat, like fish, or birds, or dinosaurs. What do you think?" + +Lily said, "Maybe. But I still like regular meat best." + +Her mom said, "I know, Lily. I know." +Ben and Mia were curious twins who liked to explore. One day, they found a big tape in their dad's toolbox. They wanted to measure things with it. + +"Let's measure the sofa," Ben said. + +"OK," Mia agreed. + +They pulled the tape and put it on the sofa. It was very long. They saw some numbers on it, but they did not know what they meant. + +"Let's measure something else," Mia said. + +"Let's measure the stairs," Ben said. + +They ran to the stairs with the tape. They tried to put it on the stairs, but it was hard. The stairs had zigzags and the tape was straight. + +"Maybe we can make the tape zigzag too," Ben said. + +He pulled the tape and bent it. Mia did the same. They made the tape zigzag like the stairs. + +"Look, we did it!" Mia said. + +They were happy. They did not see their mom coming. + +"Ben! Mia! What are you doing with the tape?" their mom asked. + +She was angry. She saw the tape was broken and twisted. It was not good for measuring anymore. + +"Sorry, mom," Ben and Mia said. + +They were sad. They knew they did something bad. They gave the tape to their mom. + +Their mom took the tape and threw it in the trash. She told them to go to their room. They had no more tape to play with. They had no more fun. They learned a lesson. They should not touch things that are not theirs. +Lily and Ben were playing by the lake. They liked to throw pebbles into the water and watch the ripples. Lily found a big pebble that was shiny and smooth. She wanted to show it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, look!" she said, holding the pebble in her hand. "I found a pretty pebble. Do you want to see?" + +Ben came over to Lily and looked at the pebble. He liked it too. He wanted to touch it and feel how smooth it was. + +"Can I hold it, Lily?" he asked. "Please?" + +Lily nodded and gave the pebble to Ben. He smiled and thanked her. He rubbed the pebble with his fingers and felt how cool and nice it was. + +But then, he saw something in the water. It was a duck. The duck was swimming near the shore. It looked at Ben and quacked. + +"Hello, duck!" Ben said. He thought the duck was friendly. He wanted to give the duck something. He looked at the pebble in his hand. He thought the duck would like the pebble. + +"Here, duck, here!" he said, throwing the pebble into the water. "This is for you!" + +But the duck did not like the pebble. The pebble hit the duck on the head. The duck was hurt and scared. It quacked loudly and swam away. + +Lily saw what Ben did. She was angry and sad. She liked the pebble. She did not want Ben to throw it away. She did not want the duck to be hurt. + +"Ben, why did you do that?" she said. "That was my pebble. You gave it to the duck. The duck did not want it. The duck is hurt. You are not nice. You are not helpful." + +Ben felt sorry and bad. He did not mean to hurt the duck. He did not mean to make Lily angry and sad. He wanted to be nice and helpful. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I'm sorry, duck. I did not know. I thought the duck would like the pebble. I wanted to share. I wanted to be your friend." + +Lily looked at Ben. She saw that he was sorry and bad. She felt sorry and bad too. She did not want to be angry and sad. She wanted to be nice and helpful. + +"It's okay, Ben," she said. "I'm sorry too. I know you did not know. I know you wanted to share. I know you wanted to be my friend." + +She hugged Ben and he hugged her back. They were friends again. They looked at the water and saw the duck. The duck was swimming again. It looked at them and quacked. + +"Hello, duck!" they said. "We're sorry. We're your friends. We're helpful." + +They smiled and waved at the duck. The duck smiled and waved back. They were all friends. They played by the lake. They threw pebbles into the water and watched the ripples. They were happy. +Lily and Tom went on a safari with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, zebras, and giraffes. Lily liked the giraffes best. They had long necks and spots. Tom liked the lions best. They had big teeth and roars. + +"Look, a baby giraffe!" Lily said, pointing at a small giraffe next to a big one. "It is so cute!" + +"Look, a baby lion!" Tom said, pointing at a small lion next to a big one. "It is so brave!" + +Mom and Dad smiled. They were happy to see their children enjoy the safari. + +But then, something bad happened. A loud noise scared the animals. They ran away in different directions. The safari car split from the other cars. Mom and Dad could not see the guide or the map. + +"Oh no, we are lost!" Mom said, worried. + +"Don't worry, we will find our way back," Dad said, trying to be calm. + +Lily and Tom were scared too. They hugged Mom and Dad. They hoped the animals would come back. + +They waited for a long time. They saw no animals, no cars, no people. They only saw trees and grass. + +But then, something good happened. They heard a familiar voice. + +"Hello, hello, where are you?" It was the guide. He had a radio and a compass. He had found them. + +"Here, here, we are here!" Mom and Dad shouted, waving their arms. + +The guide drove his car to them. He was happy to see them. He said he was sorry for the noise. It was a plane that flew too low. He said he had been looking for them. + +"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" He asked, checking them. + +"We are okay, we are not hurt," Mom and Dad said, relieved. + +"We are okay too," Lily and Tom said, smiling. + +The guide smiled too. He said they were lucky. He said they had seen many animals. He said they had a good safari. + +He drove them back to the camp. They saw the other cars and the other people. They were happy to see them too. + +They had a good safari. They had a good adventure. They had a good story to tell. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They made loud noises and pretended to race each other. They had fun, but they also made a big mess. They left their cars, books, and crayons all over the floor and the couch. + +Their mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. She said, "Lily and Ben, you need to clean up your toys right now. It is almost time for dinner, and we have guests coming over. Do you want them to see this mess?" + +Lily and Ben did not want to clean up. They wanted to keep playing. They said, "Mom, can we clean up later? Please, just a little more. We are having so much fun." + +Their mom said, "No, you cannot delay. You have to do it now. If you don't, you will not get any dessert. And you know what we have for dessert? Chocolate cake!" + +Lily and Ben loved chocolate cake. They did not want to miss it. They said, "Okay, mom, we will clean up. But can you help us?" + +Their mom said, "I will help you a little bit, but you have to do most of it. It is your responsibility. And you have to be quick. The guests will be here soon." + +Lily and Ben started to pick up their toys. They put them in their boxes and baskets. They also put their books and crayons back on the shelf. They worked hard, but they also argued a lot. They said things like, "That is my car, not yours!" and "You made more mess than me!" + +Their mom heard them and said, "Stop fighting, you two. You need to work together, not against each other. And you need to be polite, not rude. Say sorry and share your toys." + +Lily and Ben felt ashamed. They knew they were being bad. They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They shared their toys and finished cleaning up. They also gave their mom a hug and a kiss. + +Their mom smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. You did a good job. I am proud of you. Now, let's go to the kitchen and set the table. And then, we can have some chocolate cake!" + +Lily and Ben were happy. They said, "Yay, chocolate cake! We love you, mom!" + +They ran to the kitchen and helped their mom. They put the plates, forks, and napkins on the table. They also put a big tip for the pizza delivery man. They were ready for the guests and the dinner. And they were ready for the chocolate cake! +Mia and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big puddle on the grass. It was shiny and wet. + +"Let's splash in the puddle!" Mia said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They ran to the puddle and jumped in. They made big splashes and laughed. They felt the water on their feet and legs. + +But then, something strange happened. The puddle started to shrink. It got smaller and smaller. Mia and Ben felt the water go away. + +"Hey, where is the puddle?" Mia asked. + +"I don't know. It's gone!" Ben said. + +They looked around. They saw a dull gray cloud in the sky. It was raining. The raindrops were falling on the grass and the slide and the swings. + +"Oh, I get it. The rain took the puddle!" Mia said. + +"Wow, that's silly. How can the rain take the puddle?" Ben said. + +"I don't know. Maybe the rain likes puddles. Maybe it wants to make more puddles somewhere else." Mia said. + +"Maybe. But I liked our puddle. It was fun." Ben said. + +"Me too. But don't be sad. We can still play in the rain. We can make our own puddles!" Mia said. + +She grabbed Ben's hand and ran to the slide. They slid down and made a splash on the ground. They giggled and hugged. + +They didn't mind the rain. They had each other. And they had their own puddles. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food for their toys. One day, they found a big bottle of sauce in the cupboard. It was red and shiny and smelled good. + +"Let's make pasta with sauce!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Tom said. "I will boil the water and you will pour the sauce." + +They got a big pot and filled it with water. They put it on the stove and turned it on. Then they got a box of pasta and opened it. They poured some pasta into the pot. + +"Be careful, it's hot!" Lily warned. + +"I know, I know!" Tom said. + +They waited for the pasta to cook. They stirred it with a big spoon. They were very hungry and excited. + +"Is it ready yet?" Tom asked. + +"Almost!" Lily said. "Let me taste it." + +She took a small piece of pasta and blew on it. Then she put it in her mouth. + +"Mmm, it's good!" she said. + +"Let me try!" Tom said. + +He took another piece of pasta and blew on it. Then he put it in his mouth. + +"Yuck, it's cold!" he said. + +He spat it out on the floor. + +"What? How can it be cold?" Lily said. + +She looked at the stove. It was off. + +"Oh no, we forgot to turn it on!" she said. + +They looked at the pot. The water was cold and the pasta was hard. + +They looked at each other. They felt sad and silly. + +They heard their mom coming. + +"Hi, kids, what are you doing?" she asked. + +She saw the mess on the floor and the pot on the stove. + +"Oh, I see, you were trying to make pasta with sauce. That's very nice of you, but you need to be careful with the stove. It can be dangerous. And you need to ask me before you use the sauce. It's for dinner tonight." + +She smiled and hugged them. + +"It's OK, we can clean up together. And I can help you make some real pasta with sauce later. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. + +"OK, mom, thank you. We're sorry for the mess. We were just dreaming of being chefs." they said. + +They helped their mom clean up the kitchen. They learned their lesson. They decided to wait for dinner to enjoy the sauce. They still liked to play in the kitchen, but they always asked their mom first. And they always turned on the stove. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big truck with a picture of ice-cream on it. The truck stopped near their house and a man came out. He had a big smile and a hat. + +"Hello, kids! Do you want some ice-cream?" he asked. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They loved ice-cream. The man opened the truck and showed them many colors of ice-cream. He said they could have any one they wanted. + +Anna chose a pink one with a twist. She liked how it looked. Ben chose a brown one with nuts. He liked how it tasted. The man gave them the ice-creams and said they were free. + +"Thank you, mister!" Anna and Ben said. + +They ran back to their house, licking their ice-creams. They were very happy. + +But when they got to their door, they saw their mom waiting for them. She looked angry. + +"Where did you get those ice-creams?" she asked. + +"From the nice man in the truck," Anna said. + +"What truck?" mom asked. + +"The one with the picture of ice-cream," Ben said. + +Mom shook her head. She took the ice-creams from their hands and threw them in the trash. + +"That was a bad man, Anna and Ben. He was not nice. He was unknown. You should never take anything from unknown people. They might hurt you or make you sick. You should always ask me or dad before you eat anything. Do you understand?" mom said. + +Anna and Ben felt sad and sorry. They nodded. They understood. They hugged mom and said they were sorry. + +Mom hugged them back and said she loved them. She said she would make them some ice-cream later. She said they should always be careful and smart. + +Anna and Ben learned a lesson that day. They never took anything from unknown people again. They only ate ice-cream from mom or dad. They were careful and smart. And they were happy. +Tom and Sue are twins. They like to play and have fun. But they do not like to do chores. Mom and Dad ask them to help with the laundry. They say no. They want to play with their toys. + +Mom and Dad are not happy. They say, "You have to help with the laundry. It is a lot of work. We are a family. We help each other." + +Tom and Sue do not listen. They run to their room. They close the door. They think they are smart. + +But Mom and Dad have a plan. They take all the toys from their room. They put them in a big basket. They hide the basket in the laundry room. + +Tom and Sue get bored. They look for their toys. They cannot find them. They ask Mom and Dad, "Where are our toys?" + +Mom and Dad say, "We do not know. Maybe they are in the laundry room. But you cannot go there. You have to help with the laundry first." + +Tom and Sue are sad. They miss their toys. They realize they made a mistake. They say, "We are sorry. We will help with the laundry. Please give us our toys back." + +Mom and Dad smile. They say, "That is good. We are proud of you. You can have your toys back after you help with the laundry. It is not so hard. We will show you how." + +Tom and Sue go to the laundry room. They see the basket with their toys. They are happy. But they also see the laundry. It is a lot. It is tough. They have to sort, wash, dry, fold, and put away the clothes. + +They work with Mom and Dad. They learn how to do the laundry. They have fun. They talk and laugh. They solve the problem. They are a team. + +They finish the laundry. They get their toys back. They play with them. They are happy. They hug Mom and Dad. They say, "Thank you. We love you. We will help with the laundry again." +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to sail. They had a small boat that they took to the lake. They also had a mule named Max who helped them carry the boat and their things. + +One day, they decided to sail to the other side of the lake, where they heard there was a big hill with flowers and berries. They packed some bread and cheese and water and put them in a bag. They put the bag on Max's back and walked to the lake. + +They put the boat in the water and climbed in. They said goodbye to Max and told him to wait for them. They used a stick to push the boat away from the shore. Then they used a cloth to catch the wind and make the boat go faster. + +They had fun sailing and singing and looking at the water and the sky. They saw some fish and some birds and some clouds. They did not see the dark clouds that were coming from behind them. + +Soon, the wind became stronger and the water became rougher. The boat started to rock and splash. Tom and Sam became scared and tried to turn the boat around. But it was too late. A big wave came and tipped the boat over. Tom and Sam fell into the water and screamed for help. But no one heard them. They sank under the water and did not come up again. + +Max was a sleepy mule who did not like to move much. He stayed on the shore and ate some grass and drank some water. He did not notice the storm or the boat or the boys. He did not care. He just wanted to sleep. He lay down on the ground and closed his eyes. He did not see the wolf that was watching him from the woods. The wolf was hungry and saw a chance to get a meal. He crept closer and closer to Max. He pounced on him and bit his neck. Max tried to kick and bray, but it was too late. The wolf dragged him into the woods and ate him. +Lily loved to paint. She had many colors, but her favorite was purple. She liked to paint purple flowers, purple stars, and purple cats. She wanted to be a painter when she grew up. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a man painting a picture of the trees. He had a big canvas, a brush, and a palette. Lily was curious and went closer to see his work. She saw that he had many colors, but no purple. + +"Can I have some purple?" she asked the man. + +The man looked at her and smiled. "Sorry, little girl, but I don't have any purple. I only use the colors that I see in nature." + +"But I love purple!" Lily said. "Purple is the best color. You should have purple. Give me some purple!" + +The man frowned. "No, I can't give you any purple. This is my paint, and I need it for my picture. You can't demand things that are not yours. That is rude and selfish." + +Lily was angry. She wanted purple, and she wanted it now. She grabbed the man's palette and tried to take it from him. The man held on to it and tried to stop her. They pulled and tugged, and the paint spilled all over them and the canvas. The picture was ruined. + +Lily and the man were both covered in paint. They looked at each other and at the mess they had made. They felt ashamed and sorry. + +"I'm sorry, mister," Lily said. "I shouldn't have demanded your paint. I should have asked nicely or used my own paint." + +"I'm sorry, too, Lily," the man said. "I shouldn't have been so stingy with my paint. I should have shared with you or let you try some purple." + +They hugged and apologized. They decided to clean up the mess and start a new picture together. They used all the colors, even purple. They learned that painting is more fun when you share and respect each other. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Lily has a new book. It is about animals and their brains. Lily thinks it is very cool. She wants to show Tom. + +She calls Tom on the phone. "Hi, Tom. Do you want to come to my house? I have a new book. It is about brains," she says. + +Tom is curious. He likes to learn new things. "Yes, I want to come. What are brains?" he asks. + +Lily says, "Brains are inside your head. They help you think and feel and remember. Different animals have different brains. Some are big and some are small. Some are smart and some are not." + +Tom says, "Wow, that sounds interesting. I want to see the book. Can I come now?" + +Lily says, "Yes, you can come now. I will invite you. Mommy will make us snacks. See you soon." + +Tom says, "OK, see you soon. Bye." + +Tom puts on his shoes and jacket. He tells his mommy that he is going to Lily's house. He walks to Lily's house. He knocks on the door. Lily opens the door. She is happy to see Tom. + +She says, "Hi, Tom. Come in. I have the book. It is on the table. Let's look at it together." + +Tom says, "Hi, Lily. Thank you for inviting me. I am excited to see the book." + +They go to the table. They sit down. They open the book. They see pictures of animals and their brains. They see a lion, a monkey, a fish, a bird, and a snake. They read the words under the pictures. They learn about the animals and their brains. + +They see a picture of a spider. It has a very small brain. It is not very smart. It can only do simple things. Lily says, "Look, Tom. This is a spider. It has a very small brain. It is not very smart. It can only do simple things." + +Tom says, "I don't like spiders. They are scary. They have eight legs and many eyes. They make webs and bite. They make me shiver." + +Lily says, "Me too. I don't like spiders. They are scary. But they are also amazing. They can make webs and catch bugs. They can survive in many places. They are part of nature." + +Tom says, "You are right. They are amazing. But they are still scary. I don't want to touch them. I don't want them in my house." + +Lily says, "Me neither. I don't want to touch them. I don't want them in my house. But I like to learn about them. They are fascinating." + +Tom says, "Me too. I like to learn about them. They are fascinating. But I like other animals more. I like lions and monkeys and fish and birds and snakes. They have bigger brains. They can do more things. They are more fun." + +Lily says, "Me too. I like other animals more. I like lions and monkeys and fish and birds and snakes. They have bigger brains. They can do more things. They are more fun. Let's look at them more." + +They turn the page. They see more pictures of animals and their brains. They read more words. They learn more things. They have fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the kitchen. They pretend to cook soup. Tom has a big pot and a spoon. Mia has a bowl and a knife. + +Tom says, "I will add water to the pot. You can cut some carrots for the soup." Mia nods and takes a carrot. She cuts it into small pieces with the knife. She is very careful. She puts the pieces in the bowl. + +Tom adds water to the pot. He puts it on the stove. He turns on the fire. He says, "Now we need some salt and pepper for the soup. Can you find them?" Mia looks around. She sees a jar of salt and a jar of pepper on the shelf. She is very organized. She knows where everything is. + +Mia takes the jar of salt and the jar of pepper. She brings them to Tom. She says, "Here they are. How much do we need?" Tom says, "Just a little bit. We don't want the soup to be too salty or too spicy." He opens the jar of salt and sprinkles some into the pot. He stirs the soup with the spoon. He says, "Now you can add some pepper." + +Mia opens the jar of pepper. She shakes it over the pot. She adds a lot of pepper. She thinks pepper makes the soup tasty. She does not know that pepper is spicy. She says, "There. Now the soup is ready." Tom says, "Let's taste it." He takes a spoonful of soup and puts it in his mouth. He makes a funny face. He says, "Ouch! The soup is too hot and too spicy. You added too much pepper." + +Mia says, "Sorry. I did not know. I like pepper." She takes a spoonful of soup and puts it in her mouth. She also makes a funny face. She says, "You are right. The soup is too hot and too spicy. I don't like pepper anymore." They both laugh. They decide to make a new soup. They add more water and more carrots. They add less salt and less pepper. They stir the soup and taste it. They say, "Mmm. This soup is good. We are good cooks." They smile and eat the soup. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and dolls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big flag with many colors. It is the flag of their nation. + +"What is that?" Lily asks. + +"That is our flag. It shows that we belong to a big group of people who live in this land. We are proud of our flag and our nation," Ben's mom says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They think the flag is pretty. They want to play with it. They run to the flag and try to pull it down. + +"Stop!" a man shouts. He is wearing a uniform and a hat. He looks angry. He is a soldier. He guards the flag. "You cannot touch the flag. It is not a toy. It is a symbol of our freedom and our strength. You have to respect it." + +Lily and Ben are scared. They let go of the flag. They run back to their moms. They are sorry. They did not know. + +"Sorry, sir. We did not mean to hurt the flag. We just wanted to see it," Lily says. + +"Sorry, sir. We did not know the flag was important. We just liked the colors," Ben says. + +The soldier sighs. He is not angry anymore. He is sad. He remembers that he fought in a war to protect the flag and the nation. He remembers that some of his friends died in the war. He remembers that some people want to destroy the flag and the nation. He remembers that the flag and the nation are not weak. They are strong. + +"It's okay, kids. I know you did not understand. But you have to learn. The flag and the nation are not just pretty things. They are what we stand for. They are what we thank for. They are what we love. Do you understand?" the soldier says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They understand a little. They feel sorry for the soldier. They want to make him happy. They smile at him. They say: + +"Thank you, sir. Thank you for guarding the flag and the nation. Thank you for being strong. We love the flag and the nation, too." + +The soldier smiles back. He feels happy. He says: + +"You're welcome, kids. You're welcome." +Sara likes to work with her dad. He is a painter. He paints houses and walls and doors. Sara helps him by holding his tools and brushes.

She asks her dad if she can go inside. He says yes, but be careful. + +Sara goes to the door and knocks. No one answers. She tries to open the door, but it is locked. She looks for another way in. She sees a thin crack in the wall. She thinks she can fit through it. She pushes and squeezes and crawls. She makes it to the other side. + +She is in a dark room. She sees the light in the window. She walks towards it. She sees a lamp on a table. She sees a book and a toy and a picture. She thinks someone lives here. She wonders where they are. + +She hears a noise. She turns around. She sees a big dog. It has sharp teeth and angry eyes. It barks and growls and runs at her. Sara is scared. She screams and runs back to the crack. She pushes and squeezes and crawls. She makes it to the other side. + +She sees her dad. He is worried. He hugs her and asks her what happened. She tells him about the dog. He says she was brave and lucky. He says they should finish their work and go home. Sara agrees. She does not want to see the dog again. She likes to work with her dad, but not in that house. +Ben and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. But there is a sign. The sign says: "Wear a mask. Do not touch other kids." + +Ben and Mia are frustrated. They do not like masks. They are hot and itchy. They want to touch their friends. They want to hug and high-five. + +They see a boy on the slide. He is not wearing a mask. He is touching other kids. He is laughing and having fun. + +Ben and Mia run to the boy. They say: "Hey, you! Why are you not wearing a mask? Why are you touching other kids? That is not fair!" + +The boy looks at them. He says: "I do not care about masks. I do not care about germs. I do what I want. You are silly and scared." + +Ben and Mia are angry. They say: "You are rude and selfish. You can make other kids sick. You should wear a mask. You should not touch other kids." + +The boy sticks out his tongue. He says: "No, I will not. You can not make me. Go away!" + +Ben and Mia are sad. They do not want to play with the boy. They do not want to go on the slide. They go back to their mom. They tell her what happened. + +Their mom hugs them. She says: "I am proud of you. You are smart and kind. You are following the rules. You are keeping yourself and others safe. You can still have fun with masks. You can still show love without touching. You are good kids." +Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red fruits. Sam says, "Look, Tom, apples! Let's pick some and taste them." Tom says, "OK, Sam, but be quick. Mom will call us soon." + +They run to the tree and climb up. They pick some apples and bite them. But the apples are not sweet. They are sour and bitter. Sam and Tom make faces and spit them out. They say, "Yuck! These are not apples. These are bad fruits. They taste awful." + +They hear a loud noise. They look down and see a big dog. The dog is barking and jumping. He wants the fruits. He thinks they are his. He is angry and troubled. He says, "Woof! Woof! Go away, boys. These are my fruits. You are stealing them. I will bite you." + +Sam and Tom are scared. They drop the fruits and climb down. They run away from the dog. They say, "Sorry, dog. We did not know. We will not take your fruits again. Please do not bite us." + +They reach the gate and see Mom. She is smiling and waving. She says, "Come, boys. It is time to go home. Did you have fun in the park?" Sam and Tom hug Mom and say, "Yes, Mom, we had fun. But we also had trouble. We tasted bad fruits and met a troubled dog. He was not nice. He was mean." + +Mom says, "Oh, dear. I am sorry. Those are not apples. Those are crab apples. They are not good to eat. They are only good for the dog. He likes them. He is not mean. He is just protecting his food. Next time, be careful and ask before you taste something. OK?" Sam and Tom say, "OK, Mom. We will. We love you." Mom says, "I love you too, boys. Now, let's go home and have some good fruits. I have some bananas and grapes. They are sweet and yummy. Do you want some?" Sam and Tom say, "Yes, Mom. We do. Thank you, Mom." They go home and enjoy their fruits. They are happy and safe. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play on the farm. They had many animals to see and feed, but their favorite was Molly the mule. Molly was nice and gentle, and she let them ride on her back sometimes. + +One day, Lila and Ben wanted to give Molly a treat. They found some carrots in the kitchen and ran to the barn. They saw Molly in her stall, but she looked sad and tired. Her ears were droopy and her eyes were dull. + +"Molly, what's wrong?" Lila asked, stroking her nose. "Don't you want a carrot?" + +Molly shook her head and made a low sound. Ben noticed that her leg was swollen and red. He remembered that Dad had said that Molly had hurt her leg when she stepped on a sharp rock. + +"Ouch, Molly, that must hurt a lot," Ben said, feeling sorry for her. "We should tell Dad. He can help you." + +Lila nodded and ran to the house to find Dad. Ben stayed with Molly and gave her a hug. He whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, Molly, we care about you. You are our best friend." + +Soon, Dad came with a bucket of water and a bandage. He cleaned Molly's wound and wrapped it gently. He gave her some medicine and some hay. He smiled at Lila and Ben and said, "You did a good job, kids. You noticed that Molly was in pain and you came to me. You showed that you care for her." + +Molly looked happier and licked Lila and Ben's faces. She thanked them with a soft nicker. Lila and Ben smiled and hugged her back. They were glad that Molly was feeling better. They knew that Molly cared for them too. +Lily liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She found a red skirt with a shiny zip in the closet. She put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt very pretty and grown-up. + +She wanted to show her mom, so she ran downstairs. But she did not see the toy car on the floor. She tripped and fell. The zip broke and the skirt ripped. Lily started to cry. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw Lily on the floor with the torn skirt. She hugged her and said, "It's okay, sweetie. Don't cry. It's just a fake skirt. I bought it for a costume party. It was not very good quality. I'm sorry you hurt yourself." + +Lily sniffed and looked at her mom. She said, "You're not mad at me?" + +Mom smiled and said, "No, of course not. I'm glad you like to play dress-up. But next time, be careful where you step. And maybe choose a different skirt. How about this one?" She pointed to a blue skirt with flowers on the shelf. + +Lily nodded and smiled. She liked the blue skirt better. She said, "Thank you, mom. Can I try it on?" + +Mom said, "Sure, let's go upstairs. And maybe we can find some matching shoes and a hat. What do you think?" + +Lily said, "Yes, please. That sounds fun." + +They went upstairs and had a great time playing dress-up. Lily forgot about the red skirt with the broken zip. She was happy with her mom and her new outfit. +Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play in the woods. They had a map that showed them where to find flowers, birds and bugs. One day, they saw a big fire in the woods. They were scared and ran away. + +"Where is our map?" Sara asked Tom. + +"I don't know. I think I dropped it when we saw the fire," Tom said. + +They looked for their map, but they could not find it. They were lost and did not know how to go back home. + +They saw a man who was wearing a yellow hat and a red coat. He was holding a hose and a bucket. He was a fireman.

But first, you have to tell me something. How did the fire start?" the fireman asked. + +Sara and Tom looked at each other. They felt guilty. They remembered that they had played with matches before they saw the fire. They had burned some leaves and sticks. They had not put out the fire. They had left the matches on the ground. + +"We did it. We played with matches. We burned the woods. We are sorry," Sara and Tom said. + +The fireman was angry, but he was also gentle. He did not yell at them. He explained to them that playing with matches was very dangerous. He told them that fire could hurt them and the animals and the plants. He told them that they should never play with fire again. He told them that they should always be careful and responsible. + +He took them to his truck and gave them some water and a blanket. He called their parents and told them what had happened. He showed them the way back home. + +Sara and Tom learned a lesson that day. They learned that fire was not a toy.

He saw the dog and blew his whistle. The dog stopped and ran away. The man came to Tim and Lily. + +"Are you okay, kids?" he asked. "That dog is not supposed to be here. I will call the animal control." + +Tim and Lily nodded. They were glad the man saved them. They hugged each other. + +"Thank you, mister!" they said. "You are a real hero!" + +The man smiled. He gave them a sticker and a candy. He told them to be careful and have fun. + +Tim and Lily thanked him again. They picked up their stick and rope. They decided to play something else.

One day, they saw a big cow with brown spots and a long tail. The cow was eating grass and making loud noises. + +"Hello, cow!" Lily said. "Can we pet you?" + +The cow looked at them and nodded. She was a gentle cow who liked children. Lily and Tom walked up to her and touched her soft fur. They felt her warm breath and heard her heart beat. + +"You are so nice, cow," Tom said.

"We will come back tomorrow." + +"Bye, cow," Tom said. "We love you." + +They waved and ran to their mom. They forgot to ask the cow her name. But the cow did not mind. She was happy to have new friends. She watched them go and mooed softly. She hoped to see them again. She remembered their names. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They wanted to make a house out of the box. They used scissors to cut windows and a door in the box. They also cut some paper to make curtains and pictures. + +"Look, our house is ready!" Lily said. "Let's go inside and pretend we live here." + +They crawled into the box and sat on some pillows. They pretended to cook, read, and sleep in their house. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they heard a loud noise outside. It was their dog, Spot. Spot was curious about the box. He sniffed it and scratched it. He wanted to see what was inside. + +"Hey, stop it, Spot!" Ben shouted. "You are ruining our house!" + +Spot did not listen. He bit the box and tore a big hole in it. He saw Lily and Ben and wagged his tail. He wanted to play with them. + +"Go away, Spot!" Lily cried. "You are a bad dog!" + +Spot felt sad. He did not mean to be bad. He just wanted to have fun. He walked away with his head down. + +Lily and Ben looked at their house. It was broken and messy. They felt angry and sad. + +"Let's fix it," Ben said. "We can use some tape and glue." + +They tried to fix their house, but it was too hard. The box was too damaged. They gave up and threw the box away. + +They felt bored and lonely. They missed their dog. + +"Maybe we were too mean to Spot," Lily said. "He did not know he was hurting our house. He just wanted to be our friend." + +"You are right," Ben said. "He is a good dog. He is always generous with his toys and his love. Let's go find him and say we are sorry." + +They ran outside and looked for Spot. They found him lying under a tree. He had one of Ben's shoes in his mouth. He was chewing it. + +"Spot!" Ben yelled. "That's my shoe!" + +Spot dropped the shoe and looked at Ben. He wagged his tail. + +"Sorry, Spot," Ben said. "We are sorry we yelled at you. We love you. Do you want to play with us?" + +Spot barked happily. He licked Ben's face. He forgave them. + +Lily and Ben hugged Spot.

The poster said, "Play and win! Spend one coin and get a chance to spin the wheel. You can win toys, books, candy and more!" + +Sara and Tom wanted to try the game. They asked their mom for a coin. Their mom gave them one coin and said, "You can share the coin and take turns to spin the wheel. But be careful, not all the prizes are good. Some are tricks, like a wet sponge or a loud horn. And remember, you can only spin once." + +Sara and Tom agreed to share the coin. Sara went first. She put the coin in the slot and pushed the button. The wheel started to spin. Sara hoped to win a toy or a book. The wheel stopped at a yellow spot. Sara smiled. She got a prize. It was a yellow duck. Sara liked ducks. She hugged the duck and said, "Quack, quack, I'm happy!" + +Tom was happy for Sara, but he also wanted a prize. He took the coin from Sara and said, "My turn, my turn!" He put the coin in the slot and pushed the button. The wheel started to spin. Tom hoped to win a toy or a book. The wheel stopped at a red spot. Tom frowned. He got a trick. It was a wet sponge. The sponge squirted water on Tom's face. Tom was wet and sad. He said, "Splat, splat, I'm troubled!" +Anna likes to write. She writes with a crayon on a big paper. She writes her name, and some shapes, and some animals. She writes a wolf, because she saw one in a book. She makes the wolf big and gray, with sharp teeth and a long tail. + +But then, her brother Tom comes. He is angry. He wants to play with the crayon. He grabs the crayon from Anna's hand. He breaks the crayon in two. He throws the paper on the floor. He says, "Your wolf is ugly. I don't like it." + +Anna is sad. She cries. She says, "Tom, you are mean. You ruined my writing. I like my wolf. It is not ugly. It is nice." + +Tom sees that Anna is sad. He feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I was wrong. Your wolf is nice. It is not ugly. I was just mad. Can I help you fix your writing?" + +Anna stops crying. She says, "Yes, Tom. You can help me. We can use another crayon. We can tape the paper. We can write more animals. We can write a wolf and a rabbit and a bird and a fish." + +Tom and Anna hug. They say, "We love each other. We love writing. We love animals." They write together. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Anna had a big box that she said was a secret. Ben wanted to know what was inside, but Anna said he had to wait. + +"Please, Anna, tell me what is in the box," Ben begged. "Is it a toy? Is it a snack? Is it a surprise?" + +Anna smiled and said, "It is a surprise, but you have to be very careful. It is very delicate and can break easily. You have to be gentle and quiet." + +Ben nodded and said, "OK, I will be gentle and quiet. Can I see it now?" + +Anna said, "Yes, you can see it now. But you have to close your eyes first. I will reveal it to you." + +Ben closed his eyes and waited. He heard Anna open the box and take something out. He felt something soft and warm on his hand. He opened his eyes and saw a tiny kitten. It was white and fluffy and had blue eyes. It looked at him and meowed. + +"Wow, Anna, it is a kitten! It is so cute and soft! Where did you get it?" Ben exclaimed. + +Anna said, "It is a story, Ben. I found it in the garden. It was hiding under a bush. It was cold and hungry and scared. I brought it inside and gave it some milk and a blanket. I wanted to show it to you and ask you if we can keep it. Do you like it?" + +Ben said, "I love it, Anna. It is the best surprise ever. Can we name it Snowy? It looks like snow." + +Anna said, "Yes, we can name it Snowy. I think Snowy likes us too. Look, it is purring." + +They hugged the kitten and each other. They were very happy. They decided to tell their mom and dad about their new friend. They hoped they would let them keep it. They thought Snowy was the best story ever. +Tom and Lily are playing with their crayons and paper. They like to print their names and draw pictures of their family and pets. They are having fun and making a lot of noise. + +Mom is in the kitchen, making lunch. She hears Tom and Lily and smiles. She is happy that they are learning and being creative. She finishes making sandwiches and juice and calls them to the table. + +"Tom, Lily, come and eat! It's lunch time!" she says. + +Tom and Lily put down their crayons and paper and run to the kitchen. They are hungry and excited to see what Mom has made. They sit on their chairs and say thank you to Mom. + +Mom gives them each a plate with a sandwich and a glass with juice. She also gives them each a napkin. She tells them to use the napkin to wipe their mouths and hands when they eat. + +"Napkin? What is a napkin?" Lily asks. + +"A napkin is a small piece of cloth that you use to clean yourself. It is important to use a napkin when you eat, so you don't make a mess or stain your clothes," Mom explains. + +"Oh, I see. A napkin is important," Lily says. She picks up her napkin and looks at it. She sees that it is white and plain. She has an idea. + +"Mom, can I print on my napkin?" she asks. + +Mom looks at Lily and sees her holding a crayon. She shakes her head. + +"No, Lily, you can't print on your napkin. That is not what a napkin is for. A napkin is for cleaning, not for printing. If you print on your napkin, you will waste it and make it dirty. You have paper for printing. Please use your napkin properly," Mom says. + +Lily feels sad. She likes to print and she thinks her napkin would look prettier with some colors. She puts down her crayon and says sorry to Mom. + +"It's okay, Lily. I know you like to print, but you have to learn when and where to print. You can print on your paper after lunch, okay?" Mom says. + +Lily nods and smiles. She understands that Mom is right. She eats her sandwich and drinks her juice. She uses her napkin to wipe her mouth and hands. She sees that Tom is doing the same. She is proud of herself and her brother. She thinks that they are good and smart kids. She loves Mom and Mom loves them. She is happy. +Tim and Liz like to draw pictures with crayons. They have a big book with many pages.

He takes a page from the book and draws a big spider with eight legs and many eyes. He thinks it looks scary and funny. He wants to attach the page to the wall with tape. He thinks Liz will scream when she sees it. + +He waits for Liz to come back from the bathroom. He hears her footsteps. He hides behind the sofa. He holds the page with the spider in his hand. He is ready to attach it to the wall. + +But Liz sees the page before Tim can attach it. She sees the spider and she is frightened. She drops her crayon and runs away. She cries, "Help! Help! There is a spider!" + +Tim feels bad. He did not want to make Liz cry. He comes out from behind the sofa. He says, "Liz, Liz, don't be scared. It is not a real spider. It is a picture. I drew it for you. I wanted to make you laugh. I am sorry." + +Liz stops crying. She looks at the page. She sees that it is not a real spider. It is a drawing. She sees that Tim is sorry. She says, "Tim, I don't like spiders. They are scary. But I know you did not mean to scare me. You are my friend. I forgive you." + +Tim and Liz hug. They decide to draw something else. They draw a rainbow with many colors. They attach the page to the wall with tape. They think it looks pretty and happy. They smile. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they go to the park with their moms. There is a big hill in the park. Sam and Ben want to take their cars and trucks to the top of the hill. + +"Look, Ben, the hill is very high. We can make our cars and trucks go fast down the hill. It will be fun!" Sam says. + +"OK, Sam, let's go. But we have to be careful. There is a law that says we have to share the hill with other kids. We can't take all the space," Ben says. + +Sam and Ben start to climb the hill with their cars and trucks. They see other kids playing with balls and kites and bikes. They say hello to them and ask if they can play too. The other kids say yes and they share the hill. + +Sam and Ben have a lot of fun. They make their cars and trucks go fast down the hill. They also play with the balls and kites and bikes. They are happy and kind. They follow the law of the hill. Their moms are proud of them. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big tub of water and some plastic cups. They liked to splash each other and make bubbles. + +"Look, Lily, I can splash you from here!" Ben said, as he threw a cup of water at his sister. + +"Hey, that's rude, Ben! You got water in my eyes!" Lily said, as she rubbed her face. + +"Sorry, Lily, I was just having fun. Here, you can splash me back," Ben said, as he smiled. + +Lily picked up a cup of water and was about to splash Ben, when she saw something shiny in the grass. She put down the cup and ran to the shiny thing. + +"What is it, Lily?" Ben asked, as he followed her. + +"It's a bulb, Ben! A bulb for a lamp!" Lily said, as she held up the shiny thing. + +"Wow, how did it get here?" Ben asked, as he looked at the bulb. + +"I don't know, maybe someone dropped it. Can we keep it, Ben?" Lily asked, as she hugged the bulb. + +"Sure, Lily, we can keep it. Maybe we can find a lamp for it later. But now, let's go back to splashing. It's more fun than bulbs," Ben said, as he took Lily's hand. + +"Okay, Ben, let's go back to splashing. But I still like the bulb. It's pretty," Lily said, as she put the bulb in her pocket. + +They ran back to the tub of water and started to splash each other again. They laughed and played until their mom called them for lunch. They were happy and wet. +Lily was a princess who lived in a big castle. She had many toys and dresses and books, but she did not like to share them with anyone. She was very selfish and always wanted more. + +One day, a new girl came to the castle. Her name was Mia and she was the daughter of a friend of Lily's father, the king. Mia was very kind and polite and wanted to play with Lily. But Lily did not allow her to touch any of her things. She said, "These are mine, go away!" + +Mia felt sad and lonely. She went to the garden and found a small ball. She started to bounce it and have fun. Lily saw her and ran to her. She said, "That is my ball, give it to me!" She snatched the ball from Mia and ran away. + +Mia cried and went to find her father. He saw her tears and asked her what was wrong. She told him how Lily was mean and selfish and did not allow her to play with anything. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Mia. Lily is not a good friend. She needs to learn how to share and be nice." + +He took Mia to the king and told him what happened. The king was angry and disappointed with Lily. He called her and said, "Lily, you have been very selfish and rude to Mia. She is our guest and you should treat her with respect and kindness. You are not allowed to play with any of your toys or dresses or books until you apologize to Mia and share with her." + +Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She realized she had been wrong and hurt Mia's feelings. She went to Mia and said, "I'm sorry, Mia. I was selfish and mean. Can you forgive me? Can we be friends? Can we play together?" + +Mia smiled and said, "Yes, Lily. I forgive you. I would like to be your friend. We can play together." + +Lily and Mia hugged and became friends. They played with the ball and the toys and the dresses and the books. They had fun and laughed and learned how to share and be nice. The king and Mia's father were happy and proud of them. They said, "You are both good princesses." +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many birds. They heard the birds sing and chirp. They wanted to see the birds up close. + +"Let's climb the tree," Ben said. "Maybe we can find a nest." + +"Okay," Lily said. "But be careful. Don't hurt the birds or their eggs." + +They climbed the tree slowly and quietly. They saw a nest with three blue eggs. A mother bird was sitting on the eggs. She looked at them with her black eyes. + +"Hello, bird," Ben said softly. "We are your friends. We just want to look at your eggs. They are very pretty." + +The bird did not answer. She was scared and angry. She flapped her wings and pecked at Ben's hand. Ben cried out and let go of the branch. He fell to the ground with a thud. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Lily shouted. She climbed down the tree as fast as she could. She ran to Ben and hugged him. + +"I'm okay," Ben said. "But my hand hurts. The bird bit me. She was not nice." + +"She was protecting her eggs," Lily said. "She thought you wanted to take them away. She loves her eggs very much. She wants to keep them safe and warm until they hatch." + +Ben looked at the nest again. He saw the bird calm down and sit on the eggs again. She sang a soft song. She was happy and peaceful. + +"I'm sorry, bird," Ben said. "I didn't mean to scare you. I hope your eggs hatch soon. I hope your babies are healthy and beautiful." + +The bird heard Ben's words.

You are not supposed to take books from the shelf without asking. You are supposed to be quiet and respectful. You are in trouble. Give me the book and come with me. We are going home. No more library for you today." + +Tom and Sue are sorry. They did not mean to be bad. They like the library and the books. They give the book to their mom and follow her. They do not talk to each other. They are ashamed and sad. They have no book and no fun. They have a bad ending. +Anna was upset. She had a rash on her arm and it was itchy and red. She wanted to scratch it, but Mommy said no. Mommy said scratching would make it worse. Mommy put some lotion on her arm and said it would help. But Anna did not like the lotion.

You have to be brave and patient," Mommy said. She hugged Anna and kissed her cheek. + +Anna sniffed. She wanted to be brave and patient, but she was still upset. She wished her rash would go away soon. She looked at her arm and saw the lotion was still there. She tried to wipe it off with her sleeve, but Mommy saw her. + +"Anna, don't do that! You'll make it worse. You have to leave the lotion on. Why don't you call Daddy and tell him how you're feeling? Maybe he can cheer you up," Mommy said. She gave Anna the phone and dialed Daddy's number. + +Anna took the phone and waited for Daddy to answer. She heard his voice and smiled. + +"Hi, Daddy!" Anna said. + +"Hi, sweetie! How are you?"

They opened it and saw a shiny metal thing with buttons and wires. They did not know what it was, but it looked fun. They decided to have a look at it. + +"Maybe it is a game," Tom said. "Let's push the buttons and see what happens." + +"OK, but be careful," Sue said. "It might be dangerous or broken." + +They pushed the buttons and turned the wires. Nothing happened at first. Then, they heard a loud beep and saw a bright flash. The metal thing started to make noises and shake. They were scared and ran away from the box. + +They heard a voice from the box.

Do you want to go on an adventure?" + +Tom and Sue looked at each other. They did not know what to do. They did not expect to find a time machine in the attic.

You can buy anything you want with it." + +Sara did not know that ten dollars was not a lot of money. She thought it was. She said, "OK, you can have my garden. Give me the money." + +Bob gave her a ten dollar bill. He said, "Thank you, Sara. You are very kind. I will take good care of your garden."

Crab wants to be free," Tom said. + +"But I want to see it. It has claws and eyes and legs," Sara said. + +"You can see it, but don't touch it. If you touch it, it might pinch you.

He made a long spaghetti snake on his plate. He made a spaghetti hat on his head. He made a spaghetti necklace around his neck. He giggled and said, "Look, mom. I'm a spaghetti monster." + +Tommy's mom looked at him and shook her head. She said, "Tommy, you're very silly. But you're also very messy. And you're wasting your spaghetti. You better eat it before it disappears." + +Tommy didn't listen. He kept playing with his spaghetti. He threw some spaghetti in the air. He swung some spaghetti like a lasso.

But first, you have to clean up. And you have to say sorry to the dog. He didn't know any better. He was just hungry. And you have to learn your lesson. Don't play with your food. Eat it while you can. Because you never know when it might disappear." +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to jog with their dad. Every morning, they put on their shoes and hats and followed their dad to the park. They jogged on the grass, on the path, and sometimes on the bridge. They saw birds, flowers, and squirrels. They had fun and felt good. + +One day, they saw a tall man with a big bag near the bridge. He smiled at them and said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want some sauce?" He opened his bag and showed them some bottles of red, green, and yellow sauce. Ben and Lily liked sauce. They liked it on their pasta, on their chicken, and on their bread. They wondered what the sauce tasted like. + +Their dad said, "No, thank you. We don't want any sauce. Come on, kids, let's jog away." But Ben and Lily did not listen. They were curious and hungry.

What do you like?" + +The lady says, "I like apples, bananas, oranges, potatoes, onions, and lettuce. How much are they?" + +Mom says, "They are one coin for each fruit and two coins for each vegetable. But you can have a discount if you buy a lot." + +The lady says, "Thank you, that is very generous of you. I don't have much money, but I have a lot of mouths to feed." + +Tom and Sue feel sorry for the lady and her little girl. They decide to give her some extra fruits and vegetables for free.

They had paper, crayons, stickers, and glitter. They also had scissors and glue. + +"Let's cut some shapes and stick them on the wall," Anna said. + +"OK, but be careful with the scissors," Ben said. + +They started to cut and stick.

She wanted to use it for her decoration. + +"Look, Ben, I found a pick. It is useful. I can make holes in the paper," Anna said. + +"No, Anna, don't use the pick. It is not for paper. It is for hair. It can hurt you," Ben said. + +But Anna did not listen. She took the pick and tried to make a hole in a star. But the pick was too hard and the paper was too soft. The pick slipped and poked Anna's hand. Anna screamed. It hurt a lot. There was blood on her hand and on the star. + +Ben ran to get their mom. Mom came and saw what happened. She was angry and sad.

He was not hot. She looked at his eyes. They were not red. She did not believe him. + +"Yes, mom, I am sick. I cannot go to school. I need to rest," Tim lied. He hoped his mom would let him stay home. + +His mom sighed. She knew he was lying. She did not like it. She wanted him to go to school and learn and make friends. She wanted him to be fit and smart and happy. She decided to teach him a lesson. + +"OK, Tim, you can stay home. But you cannot play with your toys, watch TV, or eat snacks. You can only lie in bed and drink water. You need to rest and get better," she said. + +Tim was happy. He thought he had tricked his mom. He said thank you and went to his room. He closed the door and smiled. He planned to play with his toys, watch TV, and eat snacks when his mom was not looking. + +But he soon found out that his mom was not fooled. She had taken away his toys, his TV, and his snacks. She had left only his books, his puzzles, and his water. He had nothing fun to do. He was bored and lonely. He heard his mom talking on the phone. She said that his friends were having fun at school. They were playing games, singing songs, and making art. They were learning new things and having a good time. Tim felt sad.

Ben was not happy with his napkin. It was blue and had cars on it. He wanted a pink napkin too. + +"Mom, can I have a pink napkin?" Ben asked. + +"No, Ben, you have a blue napkin. That's your napkin. Lily has a pink napkin. That's her napkin. There are no more pink napkins available," Mom said. + +Ben was sad and angry. He did not like his blue napkin. He looked at Lily's pink napkin. He wanted to take it from her. He reached out his hand and tried to grab it. Lily saw him and moved her napkin away. + +"Ben, no! That's my napkin! You have your own napkin!" Lily said. + +Ben did not listen. He tried to grab Lily's napkin again. Lily moved it away again. Ben got mad. He poked Lily in the arm. Lily felt a sharp pain. She cried out. + +"Ben, ouch! That hurt! Why did you poke me?" Lily said. + +Mom and Dad heard Lily cry. They looked at Ben and Lily. They saw Ben's hand and Lily's arm. They saw the napkins on the table. + +"Ben, what did you do? Why did you poke Lily?" Mom asked. + +"Ben, that was not nice. That was mean. You made Lily sad and hurt. You need to say sorry to Lily," Dad said. + +Ben looked at Mom and Dad. He looked at Lily. He saw her tears and her red arm. He felt bad. He did not want to make Lily sad and hurt. He wanted to make her happy and well. He knew he did something wrong. He knew he had to say sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry I poked you. I'm sorry I tried to take your napkin. I was silly and selfish. I like your napkin, but it's yours, not mine. I have my own napkin, and it's fine. Can you forgive me?" Ben said. + +Lily looked at Ben. She heard his words. She saw his face. He looked sorry and sad. She felt sorry and sad too. She loved her brother. She wanted to forgive him. + +"It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. I'm sorry I moved my napkin away. I like your napkin, but it's yours, not mine. I have my own napkin, and it's fine. Can we hug?" Lily said. + +Ben and Lily hugged. They felt better. They smiled. Mom and Dad smiled too. They were proud of Ben and Lily. They learned to say sorry and forgive. They learned to share and care. They finished their lunch. They wiped their mouths with their napkins. They threw their napkins in the trash. They went to play. They were happy. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to go on the subway with their mom. They liked to look out the window and see the buildings and the people. Sometimes they played games like I Spy or Count the Colors. + +One day, they went on the subway to visit their grandma. Lily wanted to sit by the window, but so did Max. They both tried to get the seat, but it was too small for both of them. They started to push and pull and shout. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. "You are making a lot of noise and bothering the other people. Why can't you share the seat?" + +"But I want to see the window!" Lily said. + +"So do I!" Max said. + +They disagreed and kept fighting. Their mom was very unhappy. + +A lady who was sitting next to them smiled and said, "Excuse me, do you mind if I switch seats with you? I don't need the window, and maybe you can both sit there." + +Lily and Max looked at the lady. She was very kind and had a nice hat. They nodded and said, "Okay, thank you." + +They moved to the other seat and the lady took their place. Now they could both see the window and they stopped fighting. They looked at the lady and said, "We are sorry for being loud and rude. We are grateful that you helped us." + +The lady smiled and said, "You're welcome. It's good to share and be polite. Sometimes we all disagree, but we can always find a way to get along." + +Lily and Max learned a lesson that day. They hugged their mom and thanked her for taking them to the subway. They were excited to see their grandma and tell her about their adventure. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park after the rain. They liked to jump in the puddles and splash each other. They saw a big puddle near the slide and ran towards it. + +"Look, Lily, this puddle is so big and shiny!" Ben said. + +"Let's jump in it, Ben!" Lily said. + +They jumped in the puddle and laughed. But then they noticed something strange. The puddle was not just water. It was also bubbly and sparkly. And it made a funny sound, like a whistle. + +"What is this, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, Lily. It is a mysterious puddle." Ben said. + +They looked at the puddle more closely. They saw that it had many colors, like a rainbow. And it smelled like candy. And it felt warm and soft. + +"Maybe it is magic, Ben." Lily said. + +"Maybe it is, Lily. Do you think it can do something?" Ben said. + +They touched the puddle with their fingers. The puddle tickled them and made them giggle. Then they saw something amazing. The puddle started to rise in the air, like a balloon. It lifted them up with it. + +"Wow, Ben, we are flying!" Lily said. + +"Wow, Lily, we are flying!" Ben said. + +They flew with the puddle over the park. They saw the trees, the flowers, the birds, and the people. They waved at them and shouted hello. They felt happy and free. + +The puddle took them to a beautiful place, where there were more puddles like it. They met other children who were flying with the puddles. They played with them and shared their stories. They had a lot of fun. + +The puddle was a friendly puddle. It knew when it was time to go back. It gently lowered them to the ground, near the slide. It thanked them for playing with it and said goodbye. It gave them a hug and a kiss. Then it flew away with the other puddles. + +Ben and Lily were sad to see the puddle go. But they were also grateful for the adventure. They hugged each other and smiled. + +"That was the best puddle ever, Ben." Lily said. + +"That was the best puddle ever, Lily." Ben said. + +They went back to their mom, who was waiting for them. They told her about the puddle and how it made them fly. She listened to them and smiled. She was happy that they had a wonderful time. + +She gave them a hug and a kiss. Then she took them home, where they had a warm bath and a cozy bed. They dreamed of the puddle and the magic it brought. They hoped to see it again someday. +Timmy was a little boy who liked to wander. He did not listen to his mommy when she told him to stay close to her. He wanted to see everything in the big park. He saw birds, flowers, swings, and slides. He saw a big pond with ducks and fish. He wanted to feed them, but he had no bread. + +He saw a man with a cart. The man had many treats. He had ice cream, candy, popcorn, and soda. Timmy wanted a treat. He forgot about his mommy. He ran to the man and asked for a treat. + +"Hello, little boy. Do you want a treat?" the man said. + +"Yes, please. I want ice cream," Timmy said. + +"OK, here you go. That will be one dollar," the man said. + +Timmy did not have a dollar. He had no money at all. He looked sad. + +"Sorry, little boy. No money, no treat. Go away," the man said. + +Timmy felt upset.

He was frightened and ran to his mom and dad. "Mom, Dad, please help me! There is a monster in my bedroom!" he cried. + +Mom and Dad hugged Tom and said, "Don't worry, Tom. There is no monster in your bedroom. It was just a thunder. Thunder is a big sound that comes from the sky when it rains. It can't hurt you." + +"But I saw a big shadow on the wall. It had horns and teeth and claws!" Tom said. + +"That was not a monster, Tom. That was your teddy bear. The lightning made a flash and made your teddy bear look like a monster. Your teddy bear is your friend. He keeps you safe and warm." + +Mom and Dad took Tom back to his bedroom. They turned on the light and showed him his teddy bear. They also gave him a kiss and a hug.

There's a ball, a doll, a car, a book, and more," they said. + +They took out the toys and played with them. They had a lot of fun. + +"Who do you think put these toys in the box?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe it was a fairy. Or a giant. Or a mighty lion," Ben said. + +They looked at the box again. They saw a note on it. It said: "To Ben and Lily, from Grandma and Grandpa. We love you." + +They smiled and hugged the note. + +"Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa. You are the best," they said. +Lily was nervous.

You are doing great. Do you want to try one more word?" + +Lily nodded. She felt a little less nervous. She turned the page and saw a picture of a yellow sun. She liked the sun. It was bright and warm. She looked at the word under the picture. It said "sun". She said it out loud. "Sun." + +"Very good, Lily," her mom said. "You know this word as well. You are a smart girl.

They had a big book with pictures of the stars and planets. They wanted to learn their names. + +One night, they asked their dad to help them. He took them outside and pointed at the sky. + +"See that bright star over there? That is the sun. It is very hot and gives us light and warmth. But it is far away, so it looks small. The sun is the center of our solar system. That means it is the boss of the other stars and planets that go around it." + +"What are those other stars and planets called, dad?" Sara asked. + +"Well, some of them have names that you know, like Earth, where we live, and Moon, that we see at night. Some of them have names that are harder to say, like Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. They are all different sizes, colors, and shapes. Some of them have rings, or moons, or ice, or rocks, or gas. They are all part of our solar system, too." + +"Wow, that is amazing, dad. But what is the name of everything else? All the other stars and planets that we don't see?" Ben asked. + +"That is a good question, Ben. The name of everything else is the universe. The universe is very big and very old. It has billions and billions of stars and planets and other things that we don't know. Some of them might have life, like us, or different kinds of life. Some of them might be very cold, or very hot, or very dark, or very bright. The universe is very mysterious and beautiful. We are lucky to be part of it." + +Sara and Ben looked at the sky with wonder and awe. They thanked their dad for teaching them. They hugged him and said good night. They went to bed and dreamed of the sun, the planets, and the universe. +Lily and Tom were playing in their bedroom. They had many toys and books and dolls. They liked to make noise and have fun.

They wanted to play with it. They threw it to each other and laughed. The ball bounced high and low and all around. It was very fun. + +But then, the ball bounced too high. It hit the ceiling and made a loud bang. It bounced back and hit the lamp. The lamp fell and broke. The light went out. The bedroom was dark and quiet. + +Lily and Tom were frightened.

Lily said happily. + +Tommy opened the package and showed Lily the toy car. "It's so clear and shiny," Lily said. "Can I join you and play with it?" "Of course!" Tommy said. They played with the toy car together and had lots of fun. When it was time to go home, Tommy put the toy car back in the package. "Can I take the package home with me?" Lily asked.

Timmy learned that sharing is better than fighting. The end. +Once upon a time, a little boy named Timmy went to the airport with his mom and dad. They were going on a trip to see Timmy's grandma. Timmy was so excited to go on an airplane for the first time! + +At the airport, Timmy saw many planes. They were big and could move really fast! Timmy's dad told him that the planes were very smart and could fly all over the world. + +After waiting for a little while, it was finally time for Timmy and his family to get on their plane. Timmy's mom told him to be a smart boy and listen to the flight attendants. Timmy nodded his head and followed his family onto the plane. As the plane started to move, Timmy felt a little scared but also very excited. He couldn't wait to see his grandma! +Once upon a time, there was a kind man who had a humble house. He liked to cook meat and share it with his friends. One day, a little girl came to his door and asked for some food. The man smiled and gave her a big piece of meat. The little girl was very happy and said thank you. She went home and told her mommy about the nice man who gave her some meat. From that day on, the man and the little girl became friends and shared many meals together. +Once upon a time, there was a happy boy named Timmy. He loved to run and play with his friends in the park. One day, he saw his friend Tommy with a cheerful face. "What's the matter?" asked Timmy. "It's my birthday tomorrow, but my house is not decorated," replied Tommy. + +Timmy had an idea. "Let's decorate your house together!" he exclaimed. They went to the store and bought balloons, streamers, and a big cake. They worked hard to decorate the house and make it look beautiful. Tommy's face was now full of joy and happiness. + +The next day, all their friends came to Tommy's house for the birthday party. They played games, ate cake, and had lots of fun. Tommy thanked Timmy for making his birthday so special. "You are the best friend ever," said Tommy with a big smile on his face. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to play with her toys. One day, she went to her toy chamber to play with her dolls. She saw a lovely doll that she forgot she had. + +Lily: "Oh, I forgot I had this lovely doll! Let's play together!" + +The doll was happy to play with Lily, and they had so much fun together. They played tea party and sang songs. + +Doll: "Thank you for playing with me, Lily. Let's play again tomorrow!" + +Lily: "Yes, let's do that. I will never forget about you, my lovely doll." + +From that day on, Lily always remembered her lovely doll and played with her every day. The end. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Lila has a hoop. She can roll it and jump in it. Ben has a ball. He can kick it and catch it. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He is sitting on a bench. He looks sad. He has no toys. Lila and Ben want to make him happy. + +Lila goes to the boy. She smiles and says, "Hi, I am Lila. This is my hoop. Do you want to play with it?" She offers him the hoop. The boy looks at the hoop. He nods and takes it. He rolls it and jumps in it. He smiles and says, "Thank you, Lila. I am Sam. Your hoop is fun." + +Ben goes to the boy. He smiles and says, "Hi, I am Ben. This is my ball. Do you want to play with it?" He offers him the ball. The boy looks at the ball. He nods and takes it. He kicks it and catches it. He smiles and says, "Thank you, Ben. I am Sam. Your ball is fun." + +Lila and Ben are happy. They have a new friend. They play with the hoop and the ball. They laugh and run. They do not see the distant clouds. They do not hear the thunder. They only see each other. They are happy. +Anna likes to go to the zoo with her mom and dad. She likes to see the animals and hear the noises they make. Her favorite animal is the elephant. She thinks they are big and interesting. + +One day, Anna sees a new elephant at the zoo. It is smaller than the others and has a pink bow on its head. Anna thinks it is cute and wants to say hello. She runs to the fence and waves at the elephant. + +The elephant sees Anna and walks to the fence. It lifts its trunk and makes a loud sound. Anna laughs and claps her hands. She lifts her arms and asks the elephant to lift her up. The elephant nods and wraps its trunk around Anna. It lifts her up and puts her on its back. + +Anna is happy and excited. She feels like she is flying. She hugs the elephant and says thank you. The elephant makes a happy sound and swings its trunk. Anna's mom and dad take a picture of Anna and the elephant.

It will heal soon. I have a secret that can help." + +Lily stopped crying and looked at her mom. "What is the secret, mom?" she asked. + +Her mom smiled and said, "The secret is honey. Honey is sweet and sticky and good for you. It can also heal your cut. It will make it stop hurting and bleeding and keep it clean." + +Lily was curious and said, "How can honey heal my cut, mom?" + +Her mom said, "Honey has something called magic in it. Magic is a good thing that can do amazing things. Magic can heal your cut by fighting the bad things that can make it worse. The bad things are called germs. Germs are very small and you can't see them, but they can make you sick. Honey has magic that can stop the germs and make your cut better." + +Lily said, "Wow, mom. Honey is amazing. Can I try it?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, Lily. But first, we have to wash your cut with water and soap. Water and soap can also help heal your cut by washing away the dirt and the blood. Dirt and blood can also have germs in them. Washing your cut will make it ready for the honey." + +Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. Let's wash my cut." + +Her mom took Lily to the bathroom and washed her cut gently with water and soap. Lily said, "Ouch, mom. It stings a little." + +Her mom said, "I know, Lily. But it will only sting for a little while. It means that the water and soap are working. They are making your cut clean and safe. It will feel better soon." + +Lily said, "OK, mom. I trust you." + +Her mom dried her cut with a soft towel and said, "Now, it's time for the honey. Are you ready, Lily?" + +Lily said, "Yes, mom. I'm ready." + +Her mom took a jar of honey from the kitchen and a spoon. She scooped some honey with the spoon and said, "Now, Lily, I'm going to put some honey on your cut. It might feel a little sticky and wet, but it will not hurt. It will feel sweet and warm and nice. It will make your cut heal faster and better. OK?" + +Lily said, "OK, mom. I'm not scared." + +Her mom put some honey on Lily's cut and said, "There, Lily. How does it feel?" + +Lily said, "It feels good, mom. It feels like a kiss from you. It doesn't hurt anymore. It feels like magic." + +Her mom said, "I'm glad, Lily. You are very brave and smart. Now, we have to cover your cut with a band-aid. A band-aid is a sticker that can protect your cut from the air and the dirt. It can also keep the honey in place. It can also have a picture on it that can make you happy. Do you want a band-aid, Lily?" + +Lily said, "Yes, mom. I want a band-aid. Can I have one with a unicorn on it?" + +Her mom said, "Sure, Lily. I have one right here. Let me put it on your cut. There, Lily. How do you like it?" + +Lily said, "I love it, mom. It's beautiful. Thank you, mom. You are the best." + +Her mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you, too. Now, your cut will heal soon and you will be fine. But remember, Lily, honey is a secret. You can't tell anyone about it. It's our special thing. OK?" + +Lily said, "OK, mom. I won't tell anyone. Honey is our secret. But can I ask you something, mom?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, Lily. What do you want to ask me?" + +Lily said, "Mom, if honey can heal my cut, can it also heal other things? Like a broken toy or a sad friend or a disgusting bug?" + +Her mom said, "Well, Lily, honey can heal some things, but not everything. Honey can heal things that are alive, like you and me and plants and animals. But honey can't heal things that are not alive, like toys and books and rocks. And honey can't heal things that are already dead, like bugs and leaves and flowers. And honey can't heal things that are in your heart, like feelings and dreams and wishes. Those things need other things to heal, like glue +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Anna finds a worm and shows it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, a worm!" Anna says. "It is long and slimy and wiggly." + +Ben looks at the worm and smiles. He likes worms too. He wants to touch it. + +"Can I hold it, Anna?" Ben asks. + +Anna nods and gives him the worm. Ben holds it gently in his hand. He feels its skin. It is soft and delicate. + +"Be careful, Ben," Anna suggests. "The worm's skin is delicate. If you squeeze it too hard, it might hurt." + +Ben nods and listens to Anna. He does not squeeze the worm. He lets it crawl on his palm. He likes how it tickles his skin. + +"Thank you, Anna," Ben says. "The worm is nice. Can we keep it as a pet?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She likes the worm too, but she knows it belongs in the dirt. + +"I don't think so, Ben," Anna says. "The worm needs the dirt to live. It is its home. If we keep it in a jar, it might be sad." + +Ben understands. He does not want the worm to be sad. He wants it to be happy. + +"OK, Anna," Ben says. "Let's put it back in the dirt. Maybe we can find it again another day." + +Anna and Ben put the worm back in the dirt. They say goodbye to it and wave. Then they continue to play in the garden. They are happy too. +Tim and Jen were very happy. They were going to see a parade with their mom and dad. They liked parades. They liked the big floats, the loud music, and the colorful costumes. They wore their hats and coats, because it was cold outside. + +They walked to the park, where the parade was. They saw many people. They saw balloons and flags. They saw a big brown bear. The bear was on a float. It looked friendly. Tim and Jen wanted to see it closer. They ran to the float. They did not listen to their mom and dad, who told them to stop. + +The bear was not friendly. It was angry. It did not like the noise and the crowd. It saw Tim and Jen. It roared and jumped off the float. It ran after them. Tim and Jen were scared. They screamed and cried. They tried to run away, but the bear was faster. It caught them and bit them. They hurt a lot. + +Their mom and dad saw what happened. They were very sad and scared. They ran to help Tim and Jen. They shouted for help. Some people came with a net and a gun. They caught the bear and took it away. They called an ambulance for Tim and Jen. They hoped they would be okay. + +Tim and Jen did not enjoy the parade. They learned a hard lesson. They should have listened to their mom and dad. They should have stayed away from the bear. The bear was not friendly. It was a bad bear. It was a bad day. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box. They open the box and see many things inside. They see hats, shoes, dresses, and toys. + +"Wow, look at all these things!" Tom says. "Let's play dress up!" + +"Okay!" Mia says. "I want to be a princess!" + +She picks a pink dress and a fake crown. She puts them on and smiles. Tom looks for something to wear. He sees a green hat and a brown coat. He puts them on and says, "I am a farmer!" + +"A farmer?" Mia asks. "What do you do?" + +"I grow beans!" Tom says. He shows her a bag of beans. "Do you want some beans?" + +Mia shakes her head. "No, thank you. I don't like beans. I like cake!" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He suggests, "Why don't we make a cake with beans?" + +Mia makes a face. "A cake with beans? That sounds yucky!" + +Tom laughs. "No, it's not yucky. It's yummy! Trust me, it's a magic cake. If you eat it, you will get a wish!" + +Mia is curious. She likes wishes. She asks, "Really? A magic cake?" + +Tom nods. "Yes, really. Come on, let's make it!" + +He takes her hand and leads her to the sandbox. He pours some beans on the sand and says, "This is the flour. We need to mix it with water." + +He gets a bucket of water and pours some on the beans. He stirs them with a stick and says, "This is the batter. Now we need to bake it." + +He digs a hole in the sand and puts the batter inside. He covers it with more sand and says, "This is the oven. We need to wait for a few minutes." + +He looks at his watch and says, "Okay, it's done. Let's eat it!" + +He digs out the cake and cuts a slice for Mia. He gives it to her and says, "Here you go. Bon appetit!" + +Mia looks at the cake. It is brown and lumpy. It smells like beans. She does not want to eat it. But she wants a wish. She closes her eyes and takes a bite. She spits it out and says, "Blech! This is not a cake! This is a fake cake! It's gross!" + +Tom laughs. He says, "I'm sorry, Mia. I was just joking. It's not a magic cake. It's just beans and sand. I don't have any wishes. Do you?" + +Mia is angry. She says, "Yes, I do. I wish you were a bean!" + +She throws the cake at Tom. It hits him on the face. He is covered with beans and sand. He says, "Ouch! That hurts!" + +Mia says, "That's what you get for tricking me!" + +She runs away. Tom chases her. They run around the park. They are still friends. They like to play. But they don't like beans. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big puzzle. The puzzle has many pieces. The pieces make a picture of a beautiful eye. + +Sara and Ben want to solve the puzzle. They try to put the pieces together. But they do not agree. Sara thinks the blue piece goes here. Ben thinks the blue piece goes there. They start to argue. They pull the pieces from each other. The puzzle falls apart. + +Sara and Ben are sad and angry. They do not want to play anymore. They sit on the floor and look away. They do not talk. + +Then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. Mom comes to see what is wrong. She sees the puzzle and the pieces. She sees Sara and Ben and their faces. + +Mom says, "What happened? Why are you not playing?" Sara and Ben tell Mom what happened. They say they want to solve the puzzle, but they do not agree. They say they are sorry. + +Mom says, "It is okay to be sorry. But it is not okay to fight. You are friends. You can solve the puzzle together. You can take turns. You can listen. You can help. You can have fun." + +Sara and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. You are right. We can solve the puzzle together. We can be friends." + +Mom smiles. She says, "Good. I am proud of you. Now, let me help you start the puzzle. Look, this piece has a part of the eye. Where do you think it goes?" + +Sara and Ben look at the piece. They look at the puzzle. They look at each other. They smile. They say, "Let's find out!" They start to solve the puzzle. They have fun. They are friends. +Tom and Ann like to play with their toy horses. They have a big box of horses and they make them run and jump and race. Sometimes they pretend they are cowboys and cowgirls and they use a whip to make their horses go faster. + +One day, they hear a knock on the door. It is their uncle Bob. He is a real cowboy and he has a big hat and boots and a whip. He says he came to visit them and he has a surprise for them. He tells them to follow him to his truck. + +Tom and Ann are very excited. They think maybe uncle Bob has a real horse for them. They run after him and they see a big trailer behind his truck. Uncle Bob opens the trailer and says, "Look, kids, I brought you a pony!" + +Tom and Ann are very happy. They see a small brown pony with a white mane and tail. It looks very cute and friendly. They want to pet it and ride it. Uncle Bob says, "Be careful, kids, this pony is not very tame. He can bite and kick and run away. You have to use the whip to make him obey." + +Tom and Ann are scared. They do not want to hurt the pony or make him angry. They do not like the whip. They think it is mean and cruel. They say, "No, uncle Bob, we do not want to use the whip. We want to be nice to the pony. We want to give him a carrot and a hug." + +Uncle Bob is angry. He says, "Don't be silly, kids, you have to be tough with animals. They do not understand kindness. They only understand fear. You have to show them who is the boss. Here, take the whip and try it." + +He gives the whip to Tom and pushes him towards the pony. Tom does not want to do it, but he is afraid of uncle Bob. He takes the whip and swings it at the pony. The pony is scared and angry. He neighs and kicks and bites. He breaks the rope that ties him to the trailer. He runs out of the trailer and into the street. + +Tom and Ann scream. They see a big car coming fast. The car does not see the pony. The car hits the pony. The pony falls down and does not get up. Tom and Ann cry. They see blood and fur and bones. They are very sad and sorry. They hate the whip and uncle Bob. They wish they never met him. They wish they never left their toy horses. They wish they could have a happy ending. +Lila was clumsy. She often dropped things or bumped into things. She did not mean to be clumsy, but she could not help it. Sometimes, people got angry at her or laughed at her. That made her sad. + +One day, she was playing with her doll in the garden. She loved her doll very much. She gave her a name, a dress, and a hat. She pretended that her doll was her friend. She talked to her doll and hugged her. + +But then, a big wind came. It blew her doll away. Lila ran after her doll, but she was too slow. She saw her doll fly over the fence and into the street. She could not reach her doll. She cried out, "Doll, doll, come back!" + +She heard a loud noise. It was a car. The car hit her doll. Lila saw her doll break into pieces. She felt a pain in her heart. She wept and wept. She did not hear anything else. She only heard her weeping. It was a loud weeping in a big silence. + +Her mama heard her weeping. She came out of the house and saw what happened. She ran to Lila and hugged her. She said, "Oh, Lila, I'm so sorry. Your doll is gone. It was an accident. It was not your fault. You are not clumsy. You are my sweet girl. I love you." + +Lila felt her mama's hug. She felt her mama's love. She still wept, but not so loud. She said, "I love you, mama. I miss my doll. She was my friend." + +Mama said, "I know, Lila. I miss her too. But you know what? You have many other friends. You have me, and papa, and your brother, and your dog, and your toys. And you can make new friends too. You are a brave girl. You can smile again." + +Lila looked at her mama. She saw her mama's smile. She felt a little smile in her own face. She said, "Thank you, mama. You are my best friend." +Tom is a dog. He likes to run and play with his friends. He has a ball, a bone and a rope. He is happy. + +But one day, it is very cold and wet. The sky is gray and loud. Tom is scared. He does not like the cold and the wet and the noise. He wants to find a shelter. A shelter is a place where he can be warm and dry and safe. + +He runs and runs, looking for a shelter. He sees a big house, but the door is closed. He sees a small car, but the window is broken. He sees a tall tree, but the branches are too high. He does not find a shelter. + +He is tired and sad. He lies down on the grass. He shivers and whimpers. He hopes someone will help him. + +Then he hears a voice. It is a girl. She is walking with her mom. She sees Tom. She says, "Look, mom, a dog! He is cold and wet and sad. Can we help him?" + +She runs to Tom. She is kind and gentle. She pets him and talks to him. She says, "Don't be scared, dog. We will take you to our shelter. You can be warm and dry and happy. You can be our friend." + +Tom is alert. He looks at the girl. He wags his tail. He likes the girl. He thinks she is nice. He wants to go with her.

He has a new life. +Sara liked to play with her toy plane. She made it fly in the air and zoom around the room. She pretended it was a brave plane that could go very fast and very high. + +One day, she saw a big bird outside her window. It was pink and had a long neck. Sara thought it was a funny bird. She wanted to show it her toy plane. She opened the window and threw the plane out. + +But the bird did not like the plane. It thought it was a bad thing that came to bother it. It snapped at the plane with its beak and tried to catch it. The plane and the bird had a fight in the air. + +Sara was scared. She did not want her plane to get hurt. She ran to the door and called for her mom. "Mom, mom, help! My plane is fighting with a pink bird!" + +Her mom came and saw what was happening. She grabbed a broom and waved it at the bird. "Shoo, shoo, go away, you silly bird! Leave the plane alone!" She shouted. + +The bird was scared of the broom. It let go of the plane and flew away. Sara's mom caught the plane and gave it back to Sara. She hugged her and said, "Don't worry, sweetie, your plane is fine. But next time, don't throw it out the window, okay?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I just wanted to make a new friend." She looked at her plane and said, "Thank you for being brave, plane. I love you." She kissed it and smiled. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They opened it and saw many shiny things inside. They were very curious and wanted to touch them. + +"Look, Tom, a star!" Lily said, pointing to a silver pin with a star shape. She took it out of the box and put it on her dress. + +"Wow, it's pretty!" Tom said. He saw a round thing that looked like a ball. He picked it up and shook it. It made a funny noise. "Listen, Lily, a bell!" + +They played with the things for a while, until they heard their mom calling them. "Tom, Lily, come inside, it's time for lunch!" + +They ran to the door, but Lily stopped and looked back at the box. She had an idea. She whispered to Tom, "Let's make a wish with the star and the bell. Maybe they are magic!" + +Tom nodded and followed her. They went back to the box and held the star and the bell in their hands. They closed their eyes and said, "We wish for a big cake with candles and sprinkles!" + +They opened their eyes and clapped their hands, hoping to see their wish come true. But nothing happened. The box was still there, with the same things inside. + +They felt sad and disappointed. They put the star and the bell back in the box and walked to the door. But before they left, they heard a voice from the box. + +"Hello, children. I'm sorry, but I can't grant your wish. I'm not a magic star or a magic bell. I'm just a harmless toy. But I'm glad you played with me. You made me happy." + +Tom and Lily were surprised and scared. They looked at the box and saw a small teddy bear with a red bow. It smiled at them and waved its paw. + +"Who are you?" Tom asked. + +"I'm Teddy, your mom's old toy. She put me in the box with her other things when she grew up. But I still love her, and I love you too. You are very sweet and kind. You don't need magic to make your dreams come true. You just need to work hard and be good." + +Tom and Lily felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they had been greedy and silly. They apologized to Teddy and hugged him. They thanked him for his advice and his friendship. + +They took Teddy with them and went inside. They told their mom about the box and the toy. She was happy to see Teddy again and hugged him too. She told them stories about her childhood and how she played with Teddy. She also told them she had a surprise for them in the kitchen. + +They followed her and saw a big cake with candles and sprinkles on the table. They were amazed and delighted. They thanked their mom and gave her a kiss. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that magic is not real, but love is. They learned that wishes don't come true by themselves, but by actions. They learned that happiness is not in things, but in people. And they learned that sometimes, the best surprises are the ones you don't expect. +Lily likes to play dress up with her big sister's clothes. She finds a vest that is pink and shiny. She puts it on and looks in the mirror. She feels pretty and happy. + +She wants to show her mom and dad how she looks. She runs to the living room, where they are watching TV. She says, "Look at me!

And then you have to go to your room and think about what you did. You are a bad girl!" + +Lily takes off the vest and runs to her sister's room.

You will never have something like this!" + +He leaned on the wall to get closer to the painting and point at it. But he did not know that the wall was weak and old. It could not hold his weight and the painting. The wall broke and the painting fell on his head. It hurt him a lot and made a big mess. + +His friends were shocked and scared. They ran away from his house and did not want to be his friends anymore. The wealthy man was left alone and in pain. He cried and wished he had been nicer and more humble. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be greedy and boastful. It can make you lose your friends and your things. Be kind and generous. It can make you happy and loved. +Lily was a little girl who liked to watch TV. She watched TV all day and did not play with her toys or her friends.

Lily did not know what to do. She wanted to watch TV, but the TV was broken. She looked around and saw the stair. She thought the monster was under the stair. She started to cry. + +Her mom and dad heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. They saw the broken TV and the scared Lily. They hugged her and told her not to be afraid. They told her there was no monster under the stair. They told her it was only a show and not real. They told her to be brave and to try new things. They told her to play with her toys and her friends and to learn new things. They told her to watch TV only sometimes and not all the time. + +Lily listened to her mom and dad. She felt better and stopped crying. She decided to be brave and to try new things. She went to the stair and saw there was no monster. She went to her room and played with her toys. She went to the garden and played with her friends. She learned new things and had fun. She watched TV only sometimes and not all the time. She was happy and not scared.

She says, "Stop! You are hurting the puppy. You need to share. The couch is big enough for everyone. Lily, you can hold the puppy for a while. Ben, you can drive your truck on the floor. Then you can switch. OK?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, puppy." They hug Mom and the puppy. They play nicely on the couch and the floor. They are happy again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they saw a big black bird in the sky. It was flying very fast and making a loud noise. It looked angry and scary. Lily and Tom were scared. + +"Tom, what is that?"

"Why will it not fit?" + +Tom tries to explain. He shows Lily how the white block is wider than the other blocks. He says the white block needs more space. He says the tower needs to be balanced. + +"I see," Lily says. "The white block is too big for the tower. It will make the tower fall down. Can we use it for something else?" + +"Yes, we can," Tom says. "We can use it for a door. We can make a house with the other blocks. The white block will be a good door. It will fit in the house." + +"OK, let's do that," Lily says. "That sounds fun. We can make a house with a white door. We can play inside the house." + +Tom and Lily smile.

They found one under a rug and opened the door. + +Inside, there was a big skeleton. It was white and hard and had many bones. Ben and Lily were scared, but also curious. They went closer to look at it. The skeleton had a big head, a long neck, and a tail. It looked like a dinosaur. + +Ben touched one of the bones. It was broken and loose.

He learns his lesson. He thanks Sam. They go home. They are friends. They are happy. +Mom likes coffee. She drinks it every morning. She says it makes her happy and awake. Sometimes, I help her make coffee. I bring her the cup and the spoon. She puts the coffee and the water in the machine. The machine makes noise and steam.
