Do you understand?" he said. + +"Yes, we understand. Thank you for helping us," Lily and Tom said. + +They hugged the farmer and said goodbye.

"I wanted to be its friend. But it was harsh. It popped and scared me." + +Her mom hugged her. She wiped her tears. + +"I'm sorry, honey. Balloons can't speak. They are just air and rubber. They are not alive. They can't be your friends." + +"Then why do they have faces?" Lily asked. + +"Because we draw them. We make them look happy or sad or silly. But they don't have feelings. They don't know anything." + +Lily felt confused. She did not understand. + +"Then what can I do with balloons?" she asked. + +"You can play with them. You can make them squeak and bounce. You can have fun with them. But you can't talk to them. They can't hear you. They can't answer you." + +Lily nodded. She felt a little better. + +"Can I have another balloon?" she asked. + +"Sure, honey. But be careful. Don't poke them. They might pop." + +"OK, mom. Thank you." + +Her mom gave her another balloon. Lily blew it up and tied it to her chair. She drew a face on it. But she did not speak to it. She just played with it. She made it squeak and bounce. She had fun with it.

They also liked to look at the moon, which was round and bright. + +One night, they saw a new thing in the sky. It was not a star or a firefly. It was bigger and darker and had a shape like a bird. It moved fast and made a loud noise. Lila and Ben were scared. They did not know what it was. + +"Ben, what is that?" Lila asked. + +"I don't know, Lila. Maybe it is a monster," Ben said. + +They ran to their house and knocked on the door. Their mom opened it and hugged them. + +"Mom, there is a monster in the sky!" Lila cried. + +"Monster? What monster?" Mom asked. + +She looked outside and saw the thing in the sky. She smiled and said, "That is not a monster, Lila and Ben. That is a plane.

It is just unknown to you. You have never seen one before. But you can trust me, I know what it is. And you can trust the moon, too. The moon is always there, even when you can't see it. It is your friend in the night," Mom said. + +She took them inside and gave them some milk and cookies. She read them a story and tucked them in bed.

Come inside, I have candy and toys for you." + +Anna and Ben are not sure. They do not know the man. He is unknown to them. They look at each other and shake their heads. They do not want to go inside the truck. + +But the man does not listen. He opens the door and grabs Anna by the arm. He tries to pull her inside the truck. Anna is scared. She screams and kicks. Ben is angry. He runs to help his sister. He bites the man's hand. The man lets go of Anna and yells. He drops his scissors and comb. + +Anna and Ben run away from the truck. They fall on the grass. They hug each other and cry. They are safe. They do not want a haircut from the unknown man. They want to go home to their mom and dad. They are glad they have each other. +Ben and Mia were friends. They liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big green fruit on a tree. It was an avocado. + +"Look, an avocado!" Ben said. "I want to eat it. It is yummy." + +"Me too," Mia said. "But it is too high. How can we get it?" + +Ben had an idea. He found a long stick. He gave it to Mia. + +"Here, Mia. You can raise the stick and hit the avocado. Then it will fall down and we can eat it." + +Mia took the stick. She raised it high. She tried to hit the avocado. But she missed. The stick hit the tree. The tree was angry. It shook its branches. Many avocados fell down. But they did not fall on the ground. They fell on Ben and Mia. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben and Mia cried. The avocados were hard and heavy. They hurt their heads and bodies.

The dragon can burn things with fire. The princess can speak many languages. She can talk to the dragon and other animals." + +Lily looks at the book. She feels jealous. She wants the book too. She thinks Tom is lucky. She does not have a new book. She only has old books. She does not like old books. She wants to read the new book. + +"Can I read the book too?" Lily asks. She tries to take the book from Tom. Tom does not want to share. He holds the book tight. He says no. + +"No, Lily, this is my book. You cannot read it. You have your own books.

She holds the book tight. She says no. + +"No, Tom, this is my book now! You are mean! You are not my friend! You will not share your book!" Lily says. She tries to keep the book. They pull and push. They fight over the book. They tear the book. They cry. They are both unhappy. They have lost the book. They have lost their friend. +Lila was a horse who liked to ride fast and free. She did not like to wear a saddle or a bridle. She did not like to listen to humans who told her what to do. She was independent and proud. + +One day, a new human came to the farm. He wanted to ride Lila. He put a saddle and a bridle on her. He tried to make her go where he wanted. Lila did not like that. She shook her head and neighed. She tried to run away. + +"Whoa, whoa, easy girl!" the human said. "You are a beautiful horse, but you need to learn some manners. I can help you become a better rider. Trust me." + +Lila did not trust him. She did not want to be a better rider. She wanted to be free. She kicked and bucked. She threw the human off her back. She ran to the fence and jumped over it.

It belongs to someone else." + +Lila was sad. She wanted the balloon very much. She thought of a plan. She took Raja and tied a long string to his tail.

Lily saw a big red tomato on a vine. She wanted to pick it and eat it. + +"Look, Ben, a tomato!" she said. "Can I have it?" + +Ben shook his head. "No, Lily, that is Mom's tomato. She grows them for salad. We have to wait until she says we can." + +Lily pouted. She was hungry and the tomato looked juicy. She reached for it anyway. But when she touched it, it fell off the vine and rolled away. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "The tomato is gone!" + +Ben ran after the tomato. He tried to catch it, but it was too fast.

I measured them with my ruler. They are cool." + +"I don't care about your soldiers," Sue said. "They are boring. They are all the same. My doll is better. She has a dress and shoes and a hat. She is pretty." + +"No, she is not," Tom said. "She is ugly. She has a big nose and a small mouth. And her dress is dark. Dark is a bad color. My soldiers are bright. Bright is a good color." + +They started to argue. They raised their voices. They pulled each other's toys. They made a lot of noise. + +Mom heard them. She came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting. She was not happy. + +"Stop it, stop it," Mom said. "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? You are brother and sister. You should be nice to each other. You should share your toys. You should not say mean things." + +She took the toys from them. She put them on the table. She made them sit down. She talked to them. + +"Tom, Sue, listen to me," Mom said. "Your toys are different, but they are both good. You can like different things, but you should respect each other's choices. You can measure your soldiers, but you should not compare them to Sue's doll. You can play with your doll, but you should not make fun of Tom's soldiers. You can have your own colors, but you should not say that one is better than the other. You can have your own stories, but you should not fight over them. You can have fun, but you should not hurt each other." + +She hugged them. She gave them their toys back. She told them to say sorry. They looked at each other. They felt bad. They said sorry. + +"Sorry, Tom," Sue said. "Your soldiers are cool. Can I play with them?" + +"Sorry, Sue," Tom said. "Your doll is pretty. Can I see her hat?" + +They smiled. They hugged.

They have fun at camp. + +One night, Tim and Sam hear a loud noise outside the tent. They are scared. They think it is a big bear or a wolf. They hug each other and whisper. + +"What is that?" Tim asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a monster," Sam says. + +They hear the noise again. It sounds like a growl and a snort. They are very scared. They want Mom and Dad to come and help them. + +They peek out of the tent. They see a big, dirty pig. It is eating their food. It is not a bear or a wolf or a monster. It is just a pig. + +They laugh. They are not scared anymore. They think the pig is funny and silly. They watch the pig eat their food and make noises. + +"Hi, pig. You are very hungry. You are very dirty. You scared us, but you are not mean. You are just a pig," Tim says. + +The pig looks at them and grunts. It wags its tail and walks away.

She asked him, "Can I have the big red truck, please?" + +Max said, "No, it's mine. You can have the small blue truck." + +Lily felt frustrated. She did not want the small blue truck. She wanted the big red truck. She said, "That's not fair. We can share the trucks. You can have the big red truck for a while, and then I can have it." + +Max said, "No, I like the big red truck. It's faster and louder. You can have the small blue truck. It's slower and quieter." + +Lily felt more frustrated. She tried to grab the big red truck from Max, but he held it tight.

She said, "Stop, stop, stop. What's going on here?" + +Lily and Max told Mom what happened. Mom said, "You both need to calm down and use your words. Fighting over the truck is not nice. You can take turns with the truck, or you can play with something else. But you can't remain angry at each other. You are siblings and you need to love and respect each other." + +Lily and Max felt sorry for their behavior. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We're sorry, Lily. We're sorry, Max." + +Mom said, "It's okay. I'm glad you apologized. Now, how about you hug and make up?" + +Lily and Max hugged and said, "We love you, Lily. We love you, Max." + +Mom said, "That's good. Now, do you want to play with the trucks together, or do you want to play with something else?" + +Lily and Max looked at each other and smiled. They said, "We want to play with the trucks together. We can share the big red truck and the small blue truck. We can make more roads and bridges. We can have more fun." + +Mom said, "That sounds great. Have fun, but be careful and kind." + +Lily and Max said, "Okay, Mom. Thank you, Mom." + +They took their trucks and went back to the backyard.

Tom's mom gives Rex a treat and puts a bandage on his nose. She says, "You are a good dog, Rex. But you have to be careful with cats. They have sharp claws and teeth." Rex nods and eats his treat.

He only cared about himself. Lily and Tom were sad and hurt. They did not have their ball anymore. They did not have fun anymore. They went home and told their moms what happened. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be greedy and mean. Share and be fair. Do not hurt others. Be kind and friendly. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to climb the big slide and slide down fast. They also liked to swing on the swings and go high in the air. But their favorite thing was to build a house with the wood blocks. The wood blocks were in a big box near the sandbox. They were dry and hard and had different shapes and colors. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He was wearing a red hat and a blue shirt. He looked at the wood blocks and smiled. He walked over to Lily and Ben and said, "Hi, I'm Sam. Can I play with you?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Sure, we're building a house. Do you want to help us?" + +Sam said, "Yes, I love building houses. Can I have some wood blocks?" + +Lily and Ben gave him some wood blocks and showed him their house. They had made a door, a window, and a roof. They were very proud of their house. + +Sam looked at their house and said, "That's a nice house, but I can make it better. Watch this." He took some wood blocks and added them to the house. He made a chimney, a fence, and a flag. He said, "There, now it's a perfect house." + +Lily and Ben looked at Sam's house and felt sad. They didn't like his chimney, his fence, and his flag. They liked their house better. They said, "Sam, you changed our house. We don't like it. Please take your wood blocks away." + +Sam said, "No, I won't. This is my house now. You can't touch it. Go away." + +Lily and Ben felt angry and hurt. They wanted their house back. They said, "Sam, you're not nice. You're mean. You can't play with us. Go away." + +Sam said, "No, I won't. This is my park now. You can't play here. Go away." + +Lily and Ben didn't know what to do. They looked at each other and had an idea. They whispered to each other and smiled. They said, "Okay, Sam, we'll go away. But first, can we slide on the slide one more time?" + +Sam said, "Fine, but hurry up. And don't touch my house." + +Lily and Ben ran to the slide and climbed up. They waited until Sam was looking at his house. Then they slid down fast and kicked the wood blocks on their way. The wood blocks flew in the air and fell on the ground. Sam's house was gone. + +Sam saw what happened and screamed. He ran to the wood blocks and tried to pick them up. But they were too many and too heavy. He cried and said, "You broke my house. You're bad. You're mean. I hate you." + +Lily and Ben laughed and said, "No, you broke our house. You're bad. You're mean. We don't like you." + +They took their wood blocks and ran away. They found a new spot in the park and built a new house. They were happy and said, "This is our house. We like it. We're friends." +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend to drive them on the floor and make noises. + +One day, Tom finds a new car in his toy box. It is brown and big. It has a number on the side. The number is six. Tom likes the car very much. He shows it to Sam. + +"Look, Sam, I have a new car. It is brown and big. It has a number. The number is six. Do you like it?" Tom asks. + +Sam looks at the car. He likes it too. He wants to play with it. He asks Tom, "Can I play with your car? It is very nice. I like the number. The number is six. It is my favorite number." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes to share with his friend, but he also likes his new car. He does not want to give it away. He says, "You can play with my car, but only for a little while. Then you have to give it back to me. It is my car. I found it in my toy box." + +Sam agrees. He takes the car and pretends to drive it on the floor. He makes noises. He has fun. Tom watches him. He feels happy that his friend is happy, but he also feels a little sad. He misses his car. He wants to play with it too. + +After a little while, Tom says, "Sam, can I have my car back now? I want to play with it too. It is my turn." + +Sam looks at Tom. He likes the car very much. He does not want to give it back. He says, "No, Tom, I want to play with it more. It is my car now. I like it more than you. You have many other cars. You can play with them." + +Tom feels angry. He says, "No, Sam, it is not your car. It is my car. I found it in my toy box. You have to give it back to me. It is not fair. You are not a good friend." + +Sam feels angry too. He says, "No, Tom, you are not a good friend. You are selfish. You do not like to share. You can not have your car. It is mine." + +They start to fight. They pull the car from each other. They shout and cry. They are not happy. + +Mom hears them. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees them fighting over the car. She says, "Stop, Tom and Sam. What are you doing? Why are you fighting over the car? It is just a toy. It is not worth losing your friendship. You should share and take turns. That is what good friends do." + +Tom and Sam look at Mom. They feel ashamed. They know she is right. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Tom. Sorry, Sam. We were wrong. We should not fight over the car. We should share and take turns. We are good friends." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That is good, Tom and Sam. I am proud of you. You are good friends. Now, why don't you play nicely with the car and your other toys? You can have fun together." + +Tom and Sam smile too. They say, "Okay, Mom. Thank you, Mom. We will play nicely with the car and our other toys. We will have fun together." + +They hug Mom. They hug each other. They take turns to play with the car. They make noises. They are happy. +Lily loved rockets. She had many toys of rockets, and she liked to play with them every day.

Lily was curious. She wanted to examine the rocket, and see how it worked. She thought no one would mind if she just looked at it for a little while. + +She ran to the rocket, and climbed on it. She touched the buttons and the levers, and pretended she was flying. She did not see the man who was watching her. He was the owner of the rocket, and he was very angry. He had built the rocket for a contest, and he did not want anyone to ruin it. + +He shouted at Lily, and told her to get off his rocket. He said she was a naughty girl, and she had broken his rocket.

They said they understood her curiosity, but they also said she should not touch things that did not belong to her. They said she should always ask for permission, and respect other people's property. They said they would apologize to the man, and help him fix his rocket. + +Lily learned her lesson. She realized she had made a mistake, and she felt sorry for the man. She said she was sorry, and she offered to help him with his rocket. The man was still angry, but he also saw that Lily was sincere. He accepted her apology, and let her help him. He even showed her how his rocket worked, and told her some stories about rockets. Lily was happy, and she thanked him. + +She still loved rockets, but she also learned to be careful and respectful. She never touched a rocket without asking again. She hoped that one day, she would have her own rocket, and fly to the stars. +Tim and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the park and pretend they were heroes.

He could reveal his power and be a real hero. He took off his mask and looked at the dog. + +"Stop!" he said in a loud voice. "I am Tim, and I have the power of fire!" + +He opened his mouth and breathed out a flame. The flame was not very big, but it was bright and hot. The dog was surprised and afraid. It yelped and ran away. The cat was safe. + +"Wow!" Mia said. "You have a power? You are different!" + +Tim smiled. He felt proud and happy. He put his mask back on. + +"Yes, I am different. But I am still your friend. And we are still heroes." + +Mia hugged him. She was not afraid of his power. She thought it was cool and amazing. + +"Yes, you are my friend. And you are the best hero ever!" +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play outside when the weather is nice. Today, the sun is shining and the sky is blue. Ben and Mia go to the park with their bikes. + +"Look, Mia, I have a new bell on my bike!" Ben says. He rings the bell. It makes a loud sound. + +"Wow, Ben, your bell is cool!" Mia says. "Can I try it?" + +"Sure, Mia, you can try it. I can lend you my bike for a little while. But be careful, okay?" Ben says. He is a good friend. + +"Thank you, Ben, you are very nice.

They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. But sometimes it was very hot and sunny. Then they looked for a place with shade, where it was cool and not bright. + +One day, they saw a big tree with many leaves. It had a lot of shade under it. They ran to the tree and sat down. They felt happy and relaxed. + +"Look, Ben, there is a bird nest on the branch!" Sara said. She pointed to a small brown nest with some eggs inside. + +"Wow, Sara, it is very pretty!" Ben said. He wanted to see it better. He stood up and tried to reach the nest. + +But Sara stopped him. She said, "No, Ben, don't touch it! The nest belongs to the birds. They worked hard to make it. They need it to keep their eggs warm and safe. If you touch it, you might break it or scare the birds away. That would be very bad." + +Ben listened to Sara. He said, "You are right, Sara. I am sorry. I was not thinking. I will not touch the nest. I will just look at it from here. It is very nice to see the birds and their nest. They are modest and happy in their shade. They do not need much to live." + +Sara smiled and said, "Yes, Ben, they are. And we are too. We have each other and this tree and this park. We do not need much to play and have fun. We are lucky and grateful." + +They hugged each other and stayed under the tree. They watched the birds and their nest. They felt peaceful and content. They learned to respect and restore nature.

It was red and had a picture of a fire on it. + +"Look, Lily, a fire button!" Ben said. "Let's press it and see what happens!" + +"No, Ben, that's a bad idea!" Lily said. "Mommy said we should never touch that button. It's only for when there is a real fire and we need help." + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He was curious and foolish. He reached for the button and pushed it hard. Suddenly, a loud noise came from the elevator. It was a bell that rang and rang. Then, a voice said, "Fire alarm! Fire alarm! Please evacuate the building!" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They did not know what to do. They ran to the elevator and tried to open the door, but it was locked. They cried and shouted for help. + +Soon, a man came and saw them. He was a fireman. He had a helmet, a coat, and a hose. He opened the elevator door and took them out. + +"Are you okay, kids?" he asked. "Did you see a fire?" + +Ben and Lily shook their heads. They felt ashamed. + +"No, sir, we're sorry," Lily said. "It was Ben. He pressed the fire button." + +The fireman frowned. He was not happy. + +"That was a very foolish thing to do, Ben," he said. "You should never play with the fire button. It's not a toy. It's for emergencies. You could have caused a lot of trouble and danger for yourself and others. Do you understand?" + +Ben nodded. He was sorry, too. + +"Yes, sir, I understand," he said. "I won't do it again. I promise." + +The fireman took them to their mommy, who was waiting outside. She hugged them and thanked the fireman. She was relieved that they were safe, but she was also angry. + +"Ben and Lily, you are in big trouble," she said. "You have to apologize to the fireman and the other people in the building. And you have to go to your room and think about what you did. No more playing in the elevator. Do you hear me?" + +Ben and Lily said yes. They were sad and sorry. They learned their lesson. They never played with the fire button again. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the big van. The van is blue and has many seats.

Sara asks her brother. + +"No, I have not seen your doll. Maybe you left it in the house," Ben says. + +Sara shakes her head. "No, I brought it with me. I want my doll. I don't want to play anymore." + +Sara starts to cry. Ben feels sorry for her. He tries to cheer her up. + +"Don't cry, Sara. Maybe we can find your doll later. Do you want to play with my car? It is red and fast. You can drive it," Ben says. + +Sara wipes her tears. She looks at Ben's car. It is shiny and nice. She smiles a little. + +"OK, I will play with your car. Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother," Sara says. + +Ben is glad. He gives Sara his car. They play together again. They make noises and pretend to drive. They have fun.

He says to Lily, "Let's make a tent with the cloth. We can hide under the table and pretend we are in a forest." + +Lily likes the idea. She nods and smiles. They pull the cloth off the table and drape it over the chairs. They crawl under the cloth and sit on the floor. They can see the legs of the table and the chairs. They pretend they are trees. + +They make noises like animals. Tom roars like a lion. Lily squeaks like a mouse. They laugh and giggle. They are not bored anymore. They have fun under the table. + +Mom comes in and sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "What are you doing? You have to put the cloth back on the table. It is not a toy.

Can we stay under the table for a little longer?" + +Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, you have to come out now. You can play with your toys or read a book. But you have to tidy up the living room.

You have to be careful and wait for it to cool down." + +Lily felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, mom, I was too eager to taste the cake. I didn't listen to you. I learned my lesson. Next time, I will use a mitt and be patient." + +Her mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Lily, I'm glad you're not hurt badly. You're a good helper and a good learner.

Maybe I should bathe it and make it clean." + +He decided to bathe the river. He took his net and his boat and went to the big dam. He opened the dam and let the water flow out. He thought the water would wash away the dirt and the fish would come back. + +But he was wrong. The water did not wash away the dirt. It washed away the fish and the plants and the animals that lived in the river. It also washed away his net and his boat and his home. He had nothing left. He was very sorry. + +"What have I done?" he cried. "I have ruined the river and everything in it. I have been very foolish and greedy. I should have been happy with what I had." + +A kind old man saw him and felt sorry for him. He gave him some food and some clothes and some advice. + +"My son, you cannot bathe the river. The river is not dirty. It is alive and beautiful. It gives life to many things. You must respect it and take care of it. You must not take more than you need. You must share with others. That is the way to be happy and fit." + +The fisherman learned his lesson. He thanked the old man and promised to do better. He went to a new river and started a new life.
