"I want to play the piano. It is beautiful and fun." + +Max was angry. He did not want to play the piano. He wanted to play with his cars. He kicked the piano hard. He made a loud noise. + +"Ow!" Lily cried. "You hurt the piano. And you hurt my ears. That was not nice." + +Max did not care. He kicked the piano again. He made another loud noise. + +"Stop it!" Lily shouted. "You are being mean. The piano is gentle. You have to be gentle with it." + +Lily ran to the piano. She hugged it. She tried to protect it from Max. She pressed the keys softly. She made a sweet sound. + +Max heard the sound. He stopped kicking. He listened. He felt sorry. He did not want to hurt Lily or the piano. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Max said. "I was wrong. The piano is nice. Can I play with you?" + +Lily smiled. She nodded. She moved over. She made room for Max. She showed him how to press the keys gently. They played the piano together. They made a happy sound. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with red fruit. They want to eat the fruit. But the tree is very tall and the fruit is very high. + +"How can we get the fruit?" Lila asks. + +"Maybe we can climb the tree," Ben says. + +They try to climb the tree. But it is difficult. The branches are thin and slippery. They fall down and hurt their knees. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" they cry. + +They sit on the grass and look at the fruit. They are sad and hungry. + +"I hope we can find another way to get the fruit," Lila says. + +"Me too," Ben says. + +They see a man walking with a big basket. He stops under the tree and takes out a long stick. He uses the stick to hit the fruit. The fruit falls down and he puts them in his basket. + +"Wow, he is smart!" Lila says. + +"Let's ask him if he can share some fruit with us," Ben says. + +They run to the man and say hello. They tell him they want to eat the fruit. The man smiles and gives them each a fruit. + +"Here you go, little ones. Enjoy the fruit. They are sweet and juicy," he says. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Lila and Ben say. + +They bite the fruit and smile. They are happy and full. + +They hope to see the man again. They hope to eat more fruit. They hope to play in the park. They are friends. +Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, dolls, balls and books. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, they see a big fire in the park. The fire is very hot and makes a lot of smoke. Sara and Ben are scared. They run to their mom and dad. Mom and dad hug them and say they are safe. + +"Mom, what is that?" Sara asks, pointing to the fire. + +"That is a fire, Sara. It is burning the trees and the grass. It is very bad," mom says. + +"Why is it bad, mom?" Ben asks. + +"Because it hurts the plants and the animals. And it makes a lot of ash. Ash is the gray stuff that falls from the fire. It is dirty and can make you sick," mom says. + +"Can we go and see the ash, mom?" Sara asks. + +"No, Sara. You cannot go near the fire or the ash. It is too dangerous. You have to stay here with us," mom says. + +"But I want to see the ash, mom. I want to touch it. It looks rare. I never saw ash before," Sara says. She insists. She tries to get away from mom. + +"Sara, no! You have to listen to mom. The ash is not rare. It is not a toy. It is not good for you. You can get hurt or sick. You have to stay here with us," Ben says. He holds Sara's hand. He is a good brother. + +Sara stops. She looks at Ben. She looks at mom and dad. She sees they are worried. She sees the fire is still big and scary. She does not want to go near the fire or the ash anymore. She says sorry to mom and dad. She hugs Ben. She plays with her toys. She is a good sister. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they were playing with their blocks and cars in the living room. Sara wanted to build a big tower with the blocks, but Ben wanted to drive his cars around the tower and make noises. + +"Ben, stop!" Sara said. "You are making my tower fall down!" + +"But I want to play with my cars!" Ben said. "They are fun and fast!" + +Sara and Ben started to argue and shout. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. + +Mom came into the living room and saw the mess and the noise. She was not happy. + +"Sara and Ben, what are you doing?" she asked. "It is time for lunch. Why are you fighting?" + +Sara and Ben stopped and looked at their mom. They felt bad. + +"We are sorry, mom," they said. "We wanted to play different things and we did not agree." + +Mom nodded and said, "I understand. Sometimes it is hard to share and cooperate. But you are twins and you love each other, right?" + +Sara and Ben nodded and hugged each other. + +"Right, mom," they said. "We love each other." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good. Now, let's go to the kitchen and have some lunch. I made your favorite sandwiches and fruit salad." + +Sara and Ben followed their mom to the kitchen. They were hungry and happy. + +"Mom, you are so thoughtful," Sara said. "Thank you for making us lunch." + +"Yes, mom, you are the best," Ben said. "Can we request something?" + +Mom looked at them and said, "Sure, what is it?" + +Sara and Ben said, "Can we help you clean up the living room after lunch? We want to show you that we are sorry and that we can work together." + +Mom hugged them and said, "Of course, you can. That is very kind and responsible of you. I am proud of you, Sara and Ben." + +Sara and Ben smiled and ate their lunch. They learned that it is better to share and cooperate than to fight and argue. They also learned to appreciate their mom and her thoughtful gestures. They had a good day. +Anna and Ben liked to go to the park with their mom. They liked to see the birds, the flowers, and the big fountain. They also liked to buy ice cream from the vendor, who was very nice and always gave them a smile. + +One day, they saw a big crowd near the fountain. They heard people cheering and clapping. They wondered what was going on. Mom said, "Let's go see. Maybe it's something fun." + +They walked closer and saw a man standing on a box. He had a funny hat and a long coat. He was holding a big bag. He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the amazing show of the famous magician, Mr. Magic! I will show you some tricks that will make you gasp and laugh. Are you ready?" + +The crowd said, "Yes!" + +Mr. Magic said, "For my first trick, I will make this bag disappear. Watch closely." He waved his hand over the bag and said some words. Then he opened the bag and threw it in the air. The bag was empty. + +The crowd said, "Wow!" + +Mr. Magic said, "But where did the bag go? Maybe it's in your pocket, sir." He pointed to a man in the crowd. The man checked his pocket and found the bag. He was surprised. + +The crowd said, "Ooh!" + +Mr. Magic said, "But that's not all. Inside the bag, there is something very special. Something that will make you happy. Do you want to see?" + +The crowd said, "Yes!" + +Mr. Magic said, "Then open the bag, sir, and share it with everyone." The man opened the bag and saw that it was full of candy. He smiled and handed out the candy to the people around him. + +The crowd said, "Yay!" + +Anna and Ben were excited. They wanted some candy too. They ran to the man and asked for some. The man gave them each a piece. They thanked him and ate the candy. It was sweet and yummy. + +Mr. Magic said, "Thank you, thank you. You are a very kind and generous sir. And thank you, everyone, for watching my show. I hope you enjoyed it. But before I go, I have one more trick to show you. A trick that will make you scatter. Are you ready?" + +The crowd said, "Yes!" + +Mr. Magic said, "Then watch this." He reached into his coat and pulled out a big, red balloon. He blew it up and tied it. He said, "This is a magic balloon. It can fly very high and very fast. It can also make a very loud noise. Do you want to see?" + +The crowd said, "Yes!" + +Mr. Magic said, "Then count with me. One, two, three." He let go of the balloon and it flew up in the air. It zoomed around the fountain and made a whistling sound. The crowd followed it with their eyes. It was fun to watch. + +But then, the balloon popped. It made a very loud noise. Bang! + +The crowd said, "Aah!" + +The noise scared the birds, the flowers, and the people. They all scattered. They ran away from the fountain. They hid behind the trees and the benches. They covered their ears and their eyes. + +Anna and Ben were scared too. They ran to their mom and hugged her. Mom hugged them back and said, "It's okay, it's okay. It was just a balloon. It can't hurt you. It was just a trick. A silly trick." + +Mr. Magic said, "Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. It was just a joke. A funny joke. Please don't be mad at me. Please come back. I have more tricks to show you. Please?" + +But no one came back. No one wanted to see more tricks. No one wanted to hear more noises. No one wanted to be near Mr. Magic. + +Mr. Magic was sad. He packed his bag and his hat and his coat. He walked away from the fountain. He said, "Goodbye, goodbye. Thank you for watching my show. I hope you had fun. I hope you remember me. The famous magician, Mr. Magic." + +But no one said goodbye. No one had fun. No one remembered him. + +Only the vendor said goodbye. He said, "Goodbye, Mr. Magic. Thank you for the candy. It was very nice of you. Maybe next time, you can try a different trick. A trick that won't make people scatter. A trick that will make people happy." + +Mr. Magic said, "Maybe, maybe. Thank you, vendor. You are very nice too. Maybe next time, I will buy some ice cream from you. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They find a big herb with green leaves and purple flowers. Sara smells the herb and says, "This herb is nice. It smells like candy." + +Ben picks the herb and says, "Let's take it home. We can make tea with it." He puts the herb in his pocket and they run to the house. + +But on the way, Ben trips and falls. He hurts his knee and cries. Sara helps him get up and says, "Are you okay, Ben?" + +Ben nods and says, "I'm okay, Sara. But look, I lost the herb. It fell out of my pocket." He points to the ground, but the herb is not there. + +Sara looks around and sees a rabbit. The rabbit has the herb in its mouth. It hops away and disappears in the bushes. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They say, "Bye bye, herb. We wanted to make tea with you." + +They go to the house and tell their moms what happened. Their moms hug them and say, "Don't worry, Sara and Ben. There are more herbs in the garden. We can find another one tomorrow and make tea together." +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a radio in the trash. It was old and dirty, but it still worked. They turned it on and heard music and voices. + +"Wow, this is cool!" Ben said. "We can listen to stories and songs!" + +"Let's take it home!" Sam said. "Mom and Dad will like it too!" + +They carried the radio to their house. But when they got there, they saw a man sitting on the sidewalk. He looked sad and cold. He had no coat, no shoes, no food. He was poor. + +"Hello, boys," the man said. "What do you have there?" + +"It's a radio," Ben said. "We found it in the trash. It's ours now." + +The man smiled. "That's a nice radio. I used to have one like that. But I lost it when I lost my home and my job. Now I have nothing." + +Ben and Sam felt sorry for the man. They looked at each other. Then they looked at the radio. + +"Here, you can have it," Sam said. He gave the radio to the man. "We have other toys. And we have a home and a family. You need it more than we do." + +The man was surprised and happy. He hugged the radio and thanked the boys. "You are very kind and generous," he said. "You have made my day. God bless you." + +Ben and Sam smiled. They felt good inside. They learned that sharing is caring. And that sometimes, the best gift is the one you give away. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with blocks and make towers. One day, they found a big box of blocks in the park. They were very happy and ran to the box. + +"Let's make the biggest tower ever!" Tim said. + +"Yes, let's try!" Sam agreed. + +They started to stack the blocks one by one. They made a tall and colorful tower. They were very proud of their work. + +But then, a chubby boy came to the park. He saw the tower and wanted to play with it. He did not ask Tim and Sam. He just walked to the tower and pushed it. The tower fell down and the blocks scattered everywhere. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Tim shouted. + +"Why did you do that?" Sam asked. + +The chubby boy did not answer. He just laughed and ran away. + +Tim and Sam were very sad and angry. They worked hard to make the tower and the chubby boy ruined it. They wanted to chase him and make him say sorry. But then, they saw something else. + +The big box of blocks was not empty. There were still many blocks inside. They were different shapes and sizes. They looked fun and interesting. + +"Look, there are more blocks!" Tim said. + +"Maybe we can make another tower!" Sam said. + +They looked at each other and smiled. They decided to forget the chubby boy and his mean act. They went to the box and picked up some blocks. They started to make a new tower. They tried to make it bigger and better than before. + +They learned that sometimes bad things happen, but they can always try again. They also learned that playing with blocks is more fun than fighting with bullies. They had a good time and became even better friends. +Sara and Tom are young. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They hope the sun will stay out. + +"Look, Sara, the kite is flying high!" Tom says. He holds the string and runs. Sara smiles and claps. + +But then a big wind comes. It blows the kite away. Tom tries to hold on, but the string breaks. The kite flies over the trees and out of sight. + +"Oh no, our kite!" Sara cries. She runs after it, but she cannot see it. Tom runs after her, but he cannot catch her. + +They come to a busy road. There are many cars and trucks. They make loud noises. Sara and Tom are scared. They do not know how to cross the road. + +"Stop, Sara, stop!" Tom shouts. But Sara does not hear him. She sees the kite in the sky. She thinks it is close. She hopes she can get it. + +She runs into the road. A big truck is coming fast. It does not see her. It hits her. + +Sara falls down. She does not move. She does not speak. She does not breathe. + +Tom stops. He sees Sara. He screams. He cries. He runs to her. But it is too late. + +The truck driver stops. He gets out. He sees Sara and Tom. He is sorry. He calls for help. + +But no one can help Sara. She is gone. Her kite is gone. Her hope is gone. + +Tom is alone. He is sad. He is angry. He wishes he could have been useful. He wishes he could have saved Sara. He wishes he could have his kite back. He wishes he could have his friend back. +Mia and Ben are twins. They like to play pretend. Today, they pretend to be a wealthy family. Mia is the mom and Ben is the dad. They have a big house and many toys. + +Mia and Ben dress up in nice clothes. They find a folder in their dad's office. They pretend it is a menu. They take turns to serve each other food. They use plastic plates and cups. + +"Welcome to our restaurant, sir," Mia says to Ben. "What would you like to eat?" + +Ben looks at the folder. He points to a picture of a pizza. "I want pizza, please," he says. + +"Coming right up, sir," Mia says. She goes to the kitchen and gets a toy pizza. She puts it on a plate and brings it to Ben. "Here is your pizza, sir. Enjoy!" + +"Thank you, madam," Ben says. He pretends to eat the pizza. He makes yummy noises. "This is very good pizza. You are a great cook." + +Mia smiles. She is happy. She likes to serve Ben. She likes to pretend to be wealthy. She likes to play with her twin. +Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bush with red berries. They wanted to try them, but they did not know if they were good or bad. + +"Let's ask Mom," Lila said. "She will tell us if we can eat them or not." + +But Tom was hungry and curious. He did not want to wait. He picked a berry and put it in his mouth. It was sour and bitter. He made a face and spat it out. + +"Yuck! This berry is bad!" he said. "It hurts my tongue!" + +Lila was scared. She ran to get Mom. Mom came and saw Tom. She was angry and worried. + +"Tom, what did you do?" she asked. "Did you eat a berry from the bush?" + +Tom nodded. He was sad and sorry. He knew he did a bad thing. + +Mom took Tom to the doctor. The doctor gave him some medicine and told him to drink a lot of water. He said the berry was not good for him and could make him sick. + +Lila and Tom learned a lesson. They learned to listen to Mom and not to eat things they did not know. They learned to be careful and smart. They hugged Mom and said sorry. Mom forgave them and hugged them back. She was glad they were okay. She told them she loved them. They told her they loved her too. +Sara likes to sing. She sings in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sings to her toys, to her mom, and to her dad. She sings happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs. + +One day, Sara hears a knock on the door. She runs to the door and opens it. She sees a green bird on the doorstep. The bird has a red beak and yellow feet. The bird looks at Sara and says, "Hello, little girl. Do you like to sing?" + +Sara is surprised and happy. She says, "Yes, I like to sing. Do you like to sing, too?" + +The bird nods and says, "Yes, I like to sing. I sing to the flowers, to the sun, and to the moon. I sing loud songs, soft songs, and pretty songs." + +Sara smiles and says, "Can you sing with me? I want to hear your songs." + +The bird agrees and says, "Of course, I can sing with you. I want to hear your songs, too." + +Sara and the bird sing together. They sing a song about the sky, a song about the rain, and a song about the stars. They sing with joy, with fun, and with friendship. Sara and the bird are very happy. They make each other laugh and clap. They become good friends. +Lily and Ben like to paint. They have many colors and brushes. They paint on paper, on walls, on rocks, and on their faces. They have fun and make a mess. + +One day, they go to the park with Mom. They see a big statue of a guard. He has a red coat, a black hat, and a shiny gun. He does not move or talk. Lily and Ben think he is silly. + +They want to paint him. They sneak behind him with their paints. They paint his coat blue, his hat yellow, and his gun pink. They giggle and run away. + +Mom sees them and is angry. She says, "Lily and Ben, what did you do? That is not nice. You have to say sorry to the guard and clean him." + +Lily and Ben are scared. They go back to the guard and say sorry. They try to clean him with water and napkins. But the paint does not come off. The guard is still blue, yellow, and pink. + +The guard hears them and turns around. He is not a statue. He is a real guard. He is not happy. He says, "Who are you? Why did you paint me? This is not funny. This is rude." + +Lily and Ben are shocked. They did not know he was real. They say sorry again and cry. Mom says sorry too and offers to pay for his clothes. + +The guard sees their tears and feels sorry for them. He says, "It's okay. I know you did not mean to hurt me. You are just kids. But you have to be careful. You cannot paint on people or things that are not yours. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nod and say yes. They promise to be good and not paint on anything else. The guard smiles and says, "Good. Now, do you want to see my gun? It is not real. It is a toy. I use it for the show." + +Lily and Ben are curious. They say yes and follow him. He shows them his gun and how it makes noise. He lets them hold it and play with it. They think it is cool and fun. + +Mom watches them and smiles. She is glad they are friends now. She thinks they learned a lesson. She hopes they will not paint on anything else. But she knows they are still silly. She loves them anyway. +Sam and Lily were walking with their mom to the park. They saw a big billboard on the street. It had a picture of a furry dog and some words they could not read. + +"Look, mom, a dog!" Sam said, pointing at the billboard. + +"Yes, that's a dog. It's an ad for a pet store. Do you like dogs?" mom asked. + +"I like dogs. They are furry and friendly. Can we get a dog, mom?" Lily said. + +"Maybe someday, honey. But we have to take care of a dog. They need food, water, toys, and walks," mom said. + +Sam and Lily nodded. They wanted to take care of a dog. They imagined playing with a dog in the park. + +They reached the park and saw some kids playing soccer. Sam and Lily liked soccer. They asked mom if they could join the game. Mom said yes and watched them from a bench. + +Sam and Lily ran to the field and asked the kids if they could play. The kids said yes and gave them a ball. Sam and Lily kicked the ball to each other. They had fun. + +But then, a big boy came and took the ball from them. He kicked the ball very hard and it flew away. It hit the billboard with the dog. The billboard made a loud noise and the dog fell down. + +"Hey, that's not nice! Give us back our ball!" Sam said to the big boy. + +"No, it's my ball now. Go away, you little kids!" the big boy said. He laughed and ran away. + +Sam and Lily were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. They looked at the billboard. The dog was on the ground. It looked sad too. + +"Are you okay, dog?" Lily asked. She went to the dog and touched it. It was not furry. It was paper. + +The dog did not move. It did not bark. It was not a real dog. It was a picture of a dog. + +Sam and Lily realized that the billboard was not a real dog. They felt silly. They looked at each other and smiled. + +"It's okay, dog. We still like you. You are a nice picture," Sam said. He picked up the dog and hugged it. + +"Maybe we can take you home and put you on our wall. Then you can be our pretend dog," Lily said. She helped Sam carry the dog. + +They went back to mom and showed her the dog. Mom smiled and said they could keep it. She said they were very kind and brave. + +Sam and Lily were happy. They had a new friend. They named the dog Billboard. They thanked mom and hugged her. + +They went home with Billboard. They gave him a place on their wall. They played with him every day. They loved him. He was their furry, paper, pretend dog. +Lily liked to look at the magazine with her mom. It had many pictures of animals and flowers and people. Lily wanted to learn the names of everything. She pointed at a big bird and asked, "What is that?" + +"That is an ostrich, Lily. It can run very fast, but it cannot fly," mom said. + +Lily nodded and turned the page. She saw a picture of a man with a sad face. He had a bandage on his head and a crutch in his hand. Lily felt sorry for him. She asked, "What is wrong with him?" + +"He is troubled, Lily. He had an accident and hurt himself. He needs to rest and get better," mom said. + +Lily wanted to help him. She had an idea. She took her favorite sticker book and tore out a shiny star. She insisted on putting it on the magazine, over the man's bandage. She said, "This will make him happy. Stars are good. They are bright and pretty." + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "You are very kind, Lily. I'm sure he would like your star. But we have to be careful not to ruin the magazine. It belongs to the library. We have to return it soon." + +Lily understood. She said, "Okay, mom. Can we get another magazine next time? Maybe with more animals and flowers and happy people?" + +"Of course, Lily. We can get any magazine you like. You are a good reader and a good helper," mom said. They finished looking at the magazine and put it in their bag. They went home, feeling happy and proud. +Tom and Sue are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the automobile. The automobile is red and shiny. It can make noises and move. + +One day, Mom says, "We are going to the park. Do you want to come?" Tom and Sue are excited. They love the park. They can slide, swing, and run. They say, "Yes, Mom, we want to come!" + +Mom says, "OK, then. Get ready. And bring one toy each." Tom and Sue run to their room. They look at their toys. They have dolls, balls, books, and puzzles. But they both want to bring the automobile. + +Tom says, "I want the automobile. It is mine." Sue says, "No, I want the automobile. It is mine." They start to fight. They pull and push the automobile. They make angry faces. + +Mom hears them. She comes to their room. She says, "Stop fighting. The automobile is for both of you. You have to share. You can take turns. Or you can decide to bring another toy. But you have to hurry. We are leaving soon." + +Tom and Sue look at each other. They think. They do not want to fight. They want to go to the park. They want to have fun. They decide to share the automobile. They say, "OK, Mom. We will share. We will take turns. We are sorry." + +Mom smiles. She says, "Good. I am proud of you. Now, let's go." She takes their hands. They go to the car. They put the automobile in the back seat. They buckle up. They are ready to go. They are excited. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." Mom says, "I love you, too." They drive to the park. They have a great time. +Tom and Lily were playing a game. They took turns to hide an object under a blanket and then ask the other to guess what it was. Lily hid a ball under the blanket and said, "Tom, guess what I have under the blanket. It is round and you can bounce it." + +Tom thought for a moment and said, "Is it a ball?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, you are right! It is a ball. You are very smart, Tom. Now it is your turn to hide something." + +Tom looked around the room and saw a toy spider on the shelf. He had an idea. He grabbed the toy spider and hid it under the blanket. He said, "Lily, guess what I have under the blanket. It has eight legs and it can crawl." + +Lily felt scared. She did not like spiders. She said, "Is it a spider?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, it is a spider. Do you want to see it?" + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, thank you. I do not like spiders. They are scary." + +Tom said, "But it is not a real spider. It is a toy spider. It cannot hurt you. Look, I will show you." He lifted the blanket and revealed the toy spider. + +Lily screamed and ran away. She hid behind the sofa and said, "Tom, that is not funny. That is mean. You scared me." + +Tom felt sorry. He did not mean to scare Lily. He wanted to make her laugh. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. I was just joking. Please come out. I will not show you the spider again. You are very brave, Lily. You guessed right even though you were scared." + +Lily peeked from behind the sofa and saw Tom holding the toy spider. She saw that it was not a real spider. She felt a little better. She said, "It is okay, Tom. I forgive you. But please do not hide spiders again. They are not fun. They are creepy." + +Tom said, "Okay, Lily. I promise. No more spiders. How about we hide something else? Something nice and soft and fluffy. Like a teddy bear." + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, that sounds good. I like teddy bears. They are cute and cuddly. Let us play with teddy bears." + +Tom and Lily hugged and made up. They continued to play their guessing game with teddy bears and other nice objects. They had a lot of fun and learned new words. They were happy. +Tom and Mia like to play in the water. They have a kayak that is red and yellow. They take turns to sit in the kayak and paddle with a stick. Sometimes they splash each other with water and laugh. + +One day, they see a big bottle near the kayak. It has a button on top. Tom picks up the bottle and pushes the button. Water comes out like a snake. It is a spray bottle. Tom thinks it is fun. He sprays Mia with water. Mia is wet and surprised. + +"Hey, stop that!" Mia says. "That is not nice!" + +But Tom does not stop. He sprays Mia again and again. Mia gets angry. She grabs the bottle from Tom and sprays him back. Tom is wet and cold. + +"Ha, ha, ha!" Mia says. "Now you know how it feels!" + +Tom and Mia spray each other with water until the bottle is empty. They are both wet and tired. They sit in the kayak and hug. They are quiet. They look at the sky and the trees. They hear the birds and the wind. They are happy. They are friends. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play outside in spring. Spring is when the sun is warm and the flowers are pretty. Sara and Tom see a big tree with pink flowers. They run to the tree and smell the flowers. + +"Look, Sara, a bee!" Tom says. He points to a yellow and black bee on a flower. The bee is busy. It flies from flower to flower and makes a buzzing sound. + +"I want to hold the bee," Sara says. She reaches out her hand to the flower. She wants to touch the bee. + +"No, Sara, don't!" Tom says. He is scared. He knows that bees can sting. He grabs Sara's hand and pulls her away from the flower. "Bees are not for holding. They are for looking. If you hold a bee, it will hurt you." + +Sara is sad. She does not understand why she cannot hold the bee. She likes the bee. She thinks the bee is cute. + +"Sorry, Sara," Tom says. He hugs Sara and tries to make her happy. "How about we hold something else? Something soft and nice. Like this." He picks up a fluffy white dandelion from the grass. He blows on it and the seeds fly away like little stars. + +Sara smiles. She likes the dandelion. She thinks the dandelion is fun. She picks up another dandelion and blows on it. She and Tom laugh and watch the seeds float in the air. + +They forget about the bee. They are happy. They hold each other's hands and play in the spring. They are not lazy. They are busy. Like the bee. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One night, they saw a big star in the sky. It was bright and shiny. + +"Wow, look at that star!" Tom said. "It is so pretty!" + +"I want it!" Lily said. "It is mine!" + +"No, it is mine!" Tom said. "I saw it first!" + +They began to fight over the star. They pushed and pulled and shouted at each other. They did not share or say sorry. + +The star saw them fighting and felt sad. It did not like to see friends being mean. It wanted to make them happy. + +So the star did something magic. It made a cold wind blow and snowflakes fall. The snowflakes were soft and white and sparkled like the star. + +Tom and Lily stopped fighting and looked around. They saw the snow and felt the cold. They were surprised and amazed. + +"Wow, look at the snow!" Lily said. "It is so pretty!" + +"It is!" Tom said. "Do you want to play with it?" + +"Yes, I do!" Lily said. "Let's make a snowman!" + +They smiled and hugged and said sorry. They forgot about the star and played with the snow. They made a snowman and threw snowballs and had fun. + +The star saw them playing and felt happy. It liked to see friends being nice. It winked at them and stayed in the sky. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Spot. Spot is very soft and friendly. He likes to lick their faces and wag his tail. + +One day, their mom says, "I have a surprise for you. Come with me to the car." Lily and Ben are curious. They follow their mom to the car. Spot comes too. He jumps in the back seat. + +Mom drives them to a big park. There are many trees and flowers and birds. Lily and Ben see a playground with swings and slides and a sandbox. They are very happy. They say, "Thank you, mom! This is a great surprise!" + +Mom smiles and says, "You're welcome, my loves. Have fun and be careful." She lets them out of the car and watches them run to the playground. Spot follows them and barks. + +Lily and Ben enjoy the park. They swing and slide and make sandcastles. They share their toys with other kids. They laugh and sing and hug. Spot plays with them and chases the birds. He is very silly. + +They have a wonderful time. They are glad that mom gave them a surprise. They love mom and Spot and each other. They are a happy family. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They loved to run, jump, and slide on the grass. But they hated mud. Mud was wet and dirty and made their clothes and shoes messy. They always tried to avoid mud when they played. + +One day, their mom made them a tasty lunch. She gave them sandwiches, apples, and cookies. They were very happy and hungry. They ate their lunch on a blanket under a big tree. They thanked their mom and gave her a hug. + +Then they saw a big puddle of mud near the fence. It looked like fun. They forgot that they hated mud. They ran to the puddle and jumped in. They splashed and laughed and made mud pies. They had so much fun that they did not hear their mom calling them. + +When their mom saw them, she was very surprised. They were covered in mud from head to toe. Their lunch was forgotten on the blanket. Their mom was not angry, but she was not happy either. She said, "Ben and Lily, what have you done? You know you hate mud. Why did you play in it?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other and smiled. They said, "We don't hate mud anymore, mom. Mud is fun. And tasty!" They showed their mom their mud pies. Their mom shook her head and laughed. She said, "You silly twins. Come on, let's go wash up. And maybe we can have some real tasty cookies later." +Lily and Ben were going to the park with their dad. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They were very happy and jolly. + +But when they got to the park, their dad looked in his pocket and said, "Oh no! I forgot my wallet at home. How will we buy ice cream?" + +Lily and Ben felt sad. They loved ice cream. It was their favorite treat. They started to worry. Would they have to go back home? Would they miss the fun at the park? + +Then they saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a big smile and a red hat. He was holding a wallet in his hand. He waved at them and said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want some ice cream? I have some extra money in my wallet. You can have it if you want." + +Lily and Ben looked at their dad. He nodded and said, "Thank you, sir. That's very kind of you. What's your name?" + +The man said, "My name is Jack. I'm a jolly old man who likes to make children happy. Here, take this money and go buy some ice cream. Enjoy yourselves at the park." + +Lily and Ben thanked Jack and ran to the ice cream truck. They bought two cones, one chocolate and one vanilla. They licked their ice cream and smiled. They were not worried anymore. They were jolly again. They went back to the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They had a lot of fun at the park. +Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to play outside. They would gather sticks and stones and make forts and castles. One day, they saw a big hill with many flowers and butterflies. They wanted to go there and explore. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go to the hill!" Sam said. + +"OK, Sam, but be careful. Mom said not to go too far," Ben said. + +They ran to the hill and climbed up. They saw many colors and shapes. They touched the soft petals and the fuzzy bees. They felt happy and curious. + +But they did not see the snake that was hiding under a rock. It was angry and scared. It did not like the boys who came to its home. It wanted them to go away. + +It slithered out and bit Sam on the leg. Sam screamed and fell down. He felt a sharp pain and a hot fever. He cried and called for Ben. + +"Ben, help me! A snake bit me! It hurts!" Sam said. + +Ben was scared and sad. He did not know what to do. He tried to help Sam, but he was too small and weak. He hugged Sam and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I love you. We should have listened to Mom. We should have been humble and not go to the hill," Ben said. + +But it was too late. Sam did not answer. He closed his eyes and stopped breathing. Ben was alone with his brother and the snake. He wished they never went to the hill. He wished they could go back home. He wished he could wake up from this bad dream. But he could not. He was stuck on the hill with his dead brother and the angry snake. He was very, very sad. The end. +Anna and Ben like to play hide and seek. Anna is good at finding hidden places. Ben is good at running fast. They take turns to be the seeker and the hider. + +One day, they play in the park. Anna is the seeker. She counts to ten and then looks for Ben. She sees him behind a big tree. She runs to catch him. But Ben is faster. He runs away from the tree and towards the slide. + +Anna chases him. She is almost there. But then she sees a dog. The dog is big and loud. It barks at Anna. Anna is scared. She pauses. She does not want to go near the dog. + +Ben sees Anna stop. He thinks she is tired. He says, "Ha ha, I win! You are too slow!" + +Anna says, "No, you don't win! There is a dog! It is scary!" + +Ben looks at the dog. He sees that it is on a leash. It is with a lady. The lady smiles at them. She says, "Don't worry, kids. He is friendly. He just wants to say hello." + +Anna and Ben feel better. They go to the lady and the dog. They pet the dog. He licks their hands. He is soft and warm. + +Anna and Ben say, "He is nice. What is his name?" + +The lady says, "His name is Speed. He likes to run fast, like you." + +Anna and Ben laugh. They say, "We like to run fast, too. Can we play with him?" + +The lady says, "Sure, you can. But first, let's finish your game. Who is the hider and who is the seeker?" + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They say, "We are both the seekers. And Speed is the hider!" + +They run after Speed. He runs away from them. He finds a hidden place. He waits for them to find him. He wags his tail. He is happy. He has new friends. +One day, Tim and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving fast. Suddenly, they felt the floor shake and heard a loud rumble. It was an earthquake! + +"Mommy, Daddy, what is happening?" Tim cried, holding his car tightly. + +"Come here, kids, it's okay. We have to go under the table until it stops," Mommy said, grabbing Lily's hand and pulling her to the table. Daddy followed them and hugged them all. + +The earthquake lasted for a few seconds, but it felt like a long time. The lamps swung, the books fell, and the pictures rattled. Tim and Lily were scared and clung to their parents. + +When the earthquake was over, Mommy and Daddy checked the house for damage. They saw some cracks on the walls and some broken dishes, but nothing too bad. They were relieved and thankful. + +"Are you okay, kids?" Daddy asked, smiling at them. + +"Yes, Daddy, we are okay. But that was scary," Lily said, still holding her car. + +"I know, sweetie, but we are safe now. Do you want to do something fun to cheer up?" Daddy asked. + +"Yes, please!" Tim and Lily said together. + +"Okay, how about we spin around and make funny faces?" Daddy suggested. + +He picked up Lily and spun her around, making a jolly noise. Lily giggled and made a silly face. Mommy did the same with Tim, who laughed and stuck out his tongue. They spun and spun until they were dizzy and happy. + +The earthquake was scary, but Tim and Lily had a jolly time with their parents. They learned that spinning can be fun and that they can always count on their family to protect them. +Tom and Anna like to play with trains. They have a big box of trains and tracks. They make long and winding tracks on the floor. They push the trains and make choo-choo sounds. + +One day, they find a whistle in the box. It is red and shiny. Tom picks it up and blows it. It makes a loud and high sound. Anna covers her ears and says, "Stop, Tom! That is too noisy!" + +Tom says, "But it is fun! It is like a real train whistle. Let me blow it again!" He blows it harder and longer. Anna gets angry and says, "No, Tom! You are not nice! You are making a delay. We are supposed to play with the trains, not the whistle!" + +Tom says, "But I like the whistle. It is mine. You can play with the trains." He blows it again and again. Anna says, "Fine, then. I will play with the trains by myself. You can keep the whistle." She takes the trains and the tracks and moves to the other side of the room. + +Tom feels lonely and bored. He looks at the whistle and says, "This is not fun. The whistle is not flexible. It only makes one sound. The trains are flexible. They can make many sounds and go many ways. I miss playing with the trains and Anna." He puts down the whistle and says, "Anna, I am sorry. Can I play with you again?" + +Anna looks at Tom and says, "Yes, you can. But you have to share the whistle and not blow it too much. It is too loud and it hurts my ears." Tom says, "OK, I will. Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend." They hug and smile. They play with the trains and the whistle. They have fun. +Lily and Sam are youth. They like to play and sing. One day, they see a big poster. It says: "Come and perform at the park!

Sam wears a cool hat. It is orange too. They take their guitar and their microphone. + +They go to the park. There are many people. There are other youth who perform too. Some dance, some draw, some tell jokes. Lily and Sam wait for their turn. They are a little scared, but also excited. + +When their name is called, they go to the stage. They smile and wave. They say hello to the people. Then they start to sing. They sing a song they made. It is about their love for orange. They sing loud and clear. They play the guitar and the microphone. They have fun. + +The people clap and cheer. They like Lily and Sam's song. They say: "You are very good! You are very cute! We love orange too!" Lily and Sam are happy. They say thank you. They hug each other. They perform very well. They are proud. +Anna loved spaghetti. She loved to eat it with sauce and cheese. She loved to twirl it with her fork. She loved to slurp it with her mouth. She always asked her mom to make spaghetti for dinner. + +One day, Anna's mom made a big pot of spaghetti. She put some on a plate for Anna and some on a plate for herself. She also made a salad and some bread. She told Anna to eat some salad and bread too, because they were good for her. + +But Anna did not want salad and bread. She only wanted spaghetti. She said, "No, thank you, mom. I only want spaghetti." She took her plate and went to the table. She ate all the spaghetti on her plate. She was still hungry. She saw that her mom had some spaghetti left on her plate. She said, "Mom, can I have some of your spaghetti?" + +Her mom said, "No, Anna. You already ate a lot of spaghetti. You should have eaten some salad and bread too. They would have filled you up and given you vitamins. Now you have to wait until tomorrow for more spaghetti." + +Anna was sad and angry. She said, "But I love spaghetti! I don't like salad and bread! They are not sweet and yummy like spaghetti!" She started to cry and whine. She threw her fork on the floor. She said, "I want more spaghetti! I want more spaghetti!" + +Her mom was not happy. She said, "Anna, that is not nice. You are being rude and greedy. You should be grateful for what you have. You should not waste food and make a mess. You should apologize and clean up your fork." + +Anna did not listen. She kept crying and whining. She said, "No, I won't! I want more spaghetti! I want more spaghetti!" + +Her mom said, "Anna, if you don't stop, you will have to go to your room. You will not have any dessert or story time. You will have to think about what you did wrong." + +Anna did not care. She said, "I don't care! I want more spaghetti! I want more spaghetti!" + +Her mom said, "That's it, Anna. You have to go to your room. You have been very naughty. You have to learn to share and be polite. Maybe tomorrow you will be better." + +She took Anna by the hand and led her to her room. She closed the door and left her alone. Anna was still crying and whining. She said, "I want more spaghetti! I want more spaghetti!" + +But no one heard her. No one came to give her more spaghetti. No one came to give her dessert or story time. No one came to hug her or kiss her good night. + +Anna was alone in her room. She was hungry and sad. She looked at her empty plate. She looked at her fork on the floor. She looked at her bed. She started to feel sorry. She started to regret what she did. She wished she had eaten some salad and bread. She wished she had not taken her mom's spaghetti. She wished she had not cried and whined. She wished she had said sorry and cleaned up her fork. She wished she had been nice and grateful. + +She realized that spaghetti was not the most important thing in the world. She realized that her mom was right. She realized that she had been wrong. + +She wanted to tell her mom that she was sorry. She wanted to tell her mom that she loved her. She wanted to tell her mom that she would be better tomorrow. + +But it was too late. Her mom was asleep. She had to wait until morning. + +She lay down on her bed. She closed her eyes. She hoped that her mom would forgive her. She hoped that she would have another chance. She hoped that she would have more spaghetti. + +But she also hoped that she would have more salad and bread. And more dessert and story time. And more hugs and kisses. + +She learned her lesson. She learned to be happy with what she had. She learned to be kind and respectful. She learned to say thank you and please. + +She learned that spaghetti was sweet, but not as sweet as her mom. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were cars, planes, and animals. Their mom was in the kitchen, making lunch for them. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm a fast car!" Tom said, zooming his toy car on the floor. + +"Roar, roar, I'm a big lion!" Lily said, holding her stuffed lion and jumping on the couch. + +Their mom smiled and said, "You two are having so much fun, but don't forget to be careful. Don't jump too high or too hard, or you might fall and hurt yourself." + +"OK, mom, we will be careful," Tom and Lily said, but they kept playing and making noises. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud bang from the kitchen. They stopped playing and looked at each other with shock. What was that? They ran to the kitchen and saw their mom holding a pot with smoke coming out of it. She had tried to make popcorn, but the pot had exploded and made a mess. + +"Mom, are you OK?" Tom and Lily asked, worried. + +"I'm OK, I'm OK, don't worry," their mom said, putting the pot down and wiping her face. "I just made a mistake and left the pot on the stove for too long. It was too hot and the popcorn popped too much. I'm sorry, I scared you." + +Tom and Lily hugged their mom and said, "We're glad you're OK, mom. We love you." + +Their mom hugged them back and said, "I love you too, my sweeties. You're so kind and grateful. How about we clean up this mess together and then have some sandwiches for lunch instead?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom, that sounds good." + +They helped their mom clean up the kitchen and then enjoyed their lunch. They were happy and thankful that their mom was OK and that they had each other. They decided to play more quietly and carefully after lunch, and to never leave the pot on the stove again. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a red zoom that could go very fast. They took turns to push the zoom on the floor and watch it race across the room. + +One day, their mom said, "Tim and Kim, we are going to visit grandma. Please put away your toys and get ready." Tim and Kim did not want to leave. They wanted to play with their zoom more. They said, "Mom, can we play for a little longer? Please, please, please!" + +Mom said, "No, we have to go now. Grandma is waiting for us. She has a surprise for you. If you don't put away your toys, they will get lost or broken. Hurry up and do as I say." + +Tim and Kim were not happy. They did not listen to mom. They hid their zoom under the sofa and ran to the door. They thought they could play with it later when they came back. + +Mom did not see the zoom under the sofa. She locked the door and took Tim and Kim to the car. They drove to grandma's house. Grandma was very happy to see them. She gave them a big hug and a kiss. She said, "I have a surprise for you. Come and see." + +She took them to the backyard. There, they saw a big slide and a swing. They also saw a new zoom. It was bigger and shinier than their old zoom. It had lights and sounds. It was the best zoom ever. + +Tim and Kim were amazed. They said, "Wow, grandma, this is awesome. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" They ran to the new zoom and tried it out. They had so much fun. They forgot about their old zoom. + +When they came back home, they remembered their old zoom. They ran to the sofa and looked under it. But the zoom was not there. Instead, they saw a big rat. The rat had chewed their zoom and made a mess. The zoom was broken and dirty. It was disgusting. + +Tim and Kim were sad and angry. They said, "Oh no, our zoom is ruined. It was our favorite toy. Why did we leave it under the sofa? Why did we not listen to mom? We were so silly and selfish." + +Mom heard them and came to see. She saw the rat and the zoom. She said, "I'm sorry, Tim and Kim, but this is what happens when you don't put away your toys and obey me. You have to learn to be responsible and grateful. You have a new zoom from grandma, but you should not forget your old zoom. It was a gift from me. I hope you will take good care of your toys from now on." + +Tim and Kim felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We were wrong. We will put away our toys and listen to you. We will take good care of our new zoom and our other toys. We love you, mom." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I love you too, Tim and Kim. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now, let's clean up this mess and get rid of that rat." + +The moral of the story is: You should put away your toys and listen to your mom. You should be responsible and grateful for what you have. You should not be greedy and careless. You should love and respect your mom. +Sara and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. One day, Sara has a secret. She has a new doll that can talk and sing. She wants to show Ben, but she is afraid he will be jealous. + +She puts the doll in her backpack and goes to the park. She sees Ben playing with his car.

He throws it on the ground. He says, "I don't want to hear your stupid doll. You are a bad friend. You don't care about me. Go away!" + +Sara is shocked and hurt. She sees the doll on the ground. She picks it up and hugs it. She starts to cry. She says, "Ben, why are you so mean? I wanted to share my secret with you. I thought you would be happy for me. I still care about you. You are my best friend." + +Ben sees Sara crying. He feels sorry and ashamed. He realizes he was wrong. He says, "Sara, I'm sorry. I was mean. I was jealous of your doll. I thought you would not play with me anymore. I was afraid to lose you. You are my best friend too." + +Sara stops crying. She smiles and says, "Ben, it's okay. I forgive you. I will always play with you. You don't have to be jealous of my doll. She is just a toy. You are a real friend. Do you want to play with her?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, please. Can I hold her?" + +Sara gives him the doll and says, "Of course. Here you go. She likes you too. She can sing a song for us." + +They press the button together. The doll says, "Hello, I'm Lily.

Good night, Ben. I love you, too. Sleep well, my little adventurers." Dad said, kissing them good night. + +They closed their eyes and fell asleep.

He called out to his mom. + +“Mommy! I feel dizzy!†+ +His mom rushed to the yard. She grabbed him and brought him to the kitchen. + +“Simon, you shouldn’t have tasted the apple.

He squawked to himself, “It looks so strange. Can I fly in there?†+He thought for a bit and then shrugged. He spread his wings and jumped into the pool. He started to glide through the water. It felt weird but in a good way. He kept flapping his wings and felt the water on his feathers. It was the best feeling ever! +Suddenly he heard a voice say, “Woah, that looks so cool!†+He looked up and saw a little girl in a red dress standing on the side of the pool. “Can I try?†asked the girl. +The duck nodded and the girl jumped in and started flapping her arms like the duck was doing. She laughed and shouted, “This is so much fun! Thanks for teaching me how to fly in the pool!†+The duck smiled and they both flew around in the pool until they were both so tired they had to take a break. +The weird and wonderful pool had been the perfect place to fly. +John felt silly. He had done something so foolish! He had taken a long strip of paper from his mom's desk and crumpled it up. Now, he was not sure how to put it back. + +John started to take small steps and tiptoed away. He wanted to get away before his mom could catch him. Suddenly, his mom appeared in the doorway! + +John was so scared he dropped the strip of paper and ran upstairs to his room. His mom found the strip and put it back on the desk. + +John was very sorry for what he had done.

Mrs Smith said: "You have to take care of it." + +The boy was very unhappy. He looked at the disgusting lizard and felt scared. + +The days passed and the boy learned to stay close to the lizard and spend time with it. He even started to like it. + +But one day, Mrs Smith came and took the lizard away. She said: "You did a good job, but now I need you to look after my cat." + +The boy was very sad. He had hoped he would keep the lizard forever. He knew this was goodbye forever. +The day was wet and damp. That's because it was raining.

She jumped happily into the snow and was so silly that she forgot how cold it was. + +"I'm too cold to dive!" she said, and quickly ran back inside. + +That day, the little girl learned an important lesson: in winter, you can have fun outside, but diving is best saved for when the weather is nice and warm. +Molly was sad. She had hurt her arm playing with her toys and it hurt to use it. Her mommy tried to make her feel better, but nothing she said made Molly feel better. + +Mommy smiled. "Let's try something new," she said. She went to her special box in the closet, and pulled out a big, fluffy feather. "This," she said, "is a special feather. It has magical powers, and it can heal boo-boos like your arm." + +"Magic?" Molly asked, eyes wide. + +"Yes," Mommy said. "Do you want to try it?" + +Molly nodded. So Mommy gently held up the feather against Molly's arm and closed her eyes. She whispered some magical words and then opened her eyes. + +Molly looked down at her arm. To her surprise, the hurt feeling was gone! She smiled and hugged her mommy. + +"You see," Mommy said, "magic is always available when you need it.

Just walk away and try again later.’ + +So the gray monkey waved to the strange monkey one more time and then walked away. Later that day, he saw the strange monkey again. This time he was waving back! + +From that day forward, the gray monkey learned an important lesson - everyone needs a little patience and kindness. If you take the time to say hello, people are much more likely to wave back. +Once upon a time there was a hero. He was a very unusual hero, because he had an important job to do. His job was to lock the door every night. Every night he worked very hard, locking the door so that no one or nothing could get in. + +One night an unusual thing happened. A little bird accidentally flew into the house. The hero saw the bird and his heart softened.

He had all his things laid out on the table and was trying to match them together.

She kept going until the sun started to set. + +Then, she saw it. It was a big, beautiful tree!

She had found something special, just like the rare bean had promised. +Once upon a time there were two siblings, a boy and a girl. The boy was named Jack and the girl was named Jill. + +Jack and Jill often argued over things, because they both wanted to stay with their parent the most.

Jack and Jill wanted to play on different slides and argued over which one to use first. + +Suddenly, their parent said, "stay together and help each other."

So they stayed together, shared their slide and had lots of fun! + +The moral of the story is: sharing is better than being jealous. +One day, a mouse and a bird were talking in the park. The mouse was telling the bird all about his adventures in the park and it seemed like the two were having a lot of fun. + +Suddenly, the sky turned dark and a heavy rain started pouring. The bird and the mouse were both wet and started looking for shelter. Eventually, they found a tree trunk and the mouse quickly ran inside of it for cover. + +The bird, however, was stuck out in the rain. It was embarrassed to speak up, so it just stayed in the rain, getting even wetter. The mouse noticed and asked the bird to come inside the tree trunk. + +“Come in!â€, said the mouse. “It’s dry here and you won’t be embarrassed.†+ +The bird was happy and it quickly ran inside the tree trunk.

It even saw the tallest mountains it had ever seen. + +The vine wanted to explore all of these things, but it didn't know how. So it decided to come back to its tree and sleep, hoping to dream of all the wonders it had seen. + +The next morning, the vine returned to the sky.

And I'll make sure to include the part about using the hook to catch the fish!" +Lila was a little mouse who liked to eat wheat. She lived in a big barn with her family and many other mice. Every day, she would follow her mother to the wheat field and nibble on the yummy grains. + +One day, Lila saw a big red truck parked near the field. She was curious and wanted to see what was inside. She told her mother she was going to explore and ran towards the truck. Her mother warned her to be careful and not to go too far. + +Lila climbed on the truck and peeked inside. She saw many bags of wheat stacked up. She thought it was a treasure and wanted to taste some. She jumped into the truck and tore open a bag with her teeth. She ate and ate until her belly was full. + +She did not notice that the truck started to move. The driver had come back and was driving away. Lila was scared and tried to get out, but the bags were too heavy and the truck was too fast. She cried and cried, but no one heard her. + +She never saw her mother or the barn or the field again. She was taken to a faraway place where the wheat was turned into bread. She was trapped in the truck with no way out. She wished she had listened to her mother and not followed her curiosity. She was very sad and hungry. +Tommy loved to play with his guitar. He liked to make loud noises and sing silly songs. He did not care if his mom or dad told him to be quiet. He thought he was very good at playing guitar. + +One day, Tommy saw a big guitar in the store. It was shiny and had many strings. Tommy wanted to have it. He asked his mom to buy it for him. His mom said no. She said it was too expensive and too big for him. She said he had to learn to play his small guitar first. + +Tommy was angry. He did not listen to his mom. He thought he knew better. He waited until his mom was busy. Then he took some money from her purse. He ran to the store and bought the big guitar. He was very happy. He thought he was very smart. + +He ran back home with his big guitar. He wanted to show it to his mom and dad. He thought they would be proud of him. He did not know that his mom had seen him take the money. She was very sad and angry. + +When Tommy got home, he tried to play his big guitar. But he could not. It was too heavy and too hard. He could not make any noise. He could not sing any songs. He felt very foolish. + +His mom came to his room. She saw his big guitar. She saw the money was gone. She was very upset. She said, "Tommy, what did you do? You took my money without asking. You bought a guitar you cannot play. You were very naughty and very foolish. You have to return the guitar and say sorry. You have to learn to be happy with what you have. You have to listen to your mom and dad. They know what is best for you." + +Tommy felt very bad. He knew his mom was right. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. I don't want this big guitar. I want my small guitar. I want to play with you and dad. I want to be good and smart." + +His mom hugged him. She said, "I forgive you, Tommy. I love you. But you have to promise me you will never do this again. You have to increase your respect and your patience. You have to practice your small guitar and learn to play well. Then maybe one day you can have a big guitar. But only if you earn it and deserve it." + +Tommy nodded. He said, "I promise, mom. I love you too. Thank you for teaching me a lesson. I will be a better son and a better guitar player." + +He returned the big guitar to the store. He said sorry to the store man. He gave back the money to his mom. He played with his small guitar. He was happy. He learned his lesson. He was not foolish anymore. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fight over things. One day, they see a bottle of juice on the table. They both want the juice. + +"I saw it first!" Anna says. She runs to the table and grabs the bottle. + +"No, I want it!" Ben says. He follows Anna and tries to grab the bottle too. + +They pull and tug on the bottle. They do not share. They do not listen. They are naughty. + +The bottle is not strong. It breaks. The juice spills everywhere. It makes a big mess. Anna and Ben are wet and sticky. They cry. + +Mom comes in and sees the mess. She is not happy. She scolds Anna and Ben. + +"You are naughty twins! You should not fight over things. You should share and be kind. Now you have no juice and you have to clean up." + +Anna and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. They help Mom clean up the mess. They learn their lesson. They hug and say they love each other. They are good twins. +Sam and Lily liked to go for a walk with their dog, Spot. They walked to the park, where they saw flowers, birds and swings. Spot liked to run and chase the ball that Sam threw for him. + +One day, it was very hot. Sam and Lily felt thirsty and tired. Spot was panting and looking for water. They saw a fountain in the park, but it was not working. The water was gone and the fountain was dry. + +Sam and Lily were sad. They wanted to restore the fountain and make it work again. They looked around and saw a hose near a bench. They asked a man who was sitting on the bench if they could use the hose. The man said yes and helped them turn on the water. + +Sam and Lily took the hose and sprayed water into the fountain. The water filled the fountain and made a splash. Spot ran to the fountain and drank some water. He was happy and wagged his tail. Sam and Lily laughed and played with the water. They restored the fountain and made it cool and fun. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. Today, they want to find a jewel. A jewel is a shiny thing that makes you happy. + +They go to the park. They look under the trees, in the grass, and on the swings. They do not find a jewel. They are sad. + +Then, they see a big puddle. The puddle is from the rain. The rain is water that falls from the sky. The puddle is shiny too. + +"Look, Ben!" Lila says. "Maybe there is a jewel in the puddle!" + +"Let's see, Lila!" Ben says. They run to the puddle. They are ready to find a jewel. + +They splash in the puddle. They laugh and have fun. They do not see a jewel, but they see something else. They see a rainbow. A rainbow is many colors in the sky. + +"Wow, Lila!" Ben says. "The rainbow is like a big jewel!" + +"Yes, Ben!" Lila says. "The rainbow is a beautiful jewel!" + +They smile and hug. They are happy. They have found a jewel in the puddle. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with a hole. They want to see what is inside. + +"Maybe there is a bird or a squirrel," Tom says. + +"Or maybe there is a treasure or a toy," Sue says. + +They go near the tree and look inside. They see something shiny and sticky. It is honey! + +"Wow, honey!" Tom says. "I love honey. Let's take some and eat it." + +He reaches his hand inside the hole. But he feels a sting. He pulls his hand out. It is red and swollen. He cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts! There are bees in the hole. They are angry. They bite me!" + +Sue is scared. She runs away from the tree. She sees a lady with a dog. She tells the lady what happened. + +"Help, help! My friend is hurt. He touched the honey in the tree. The bees bit him." + +The lady is kind. She goes to Tom and helps him. She puts some ice on his hand. She tells him to be calm. + +"Shh, shh, shh. It's okay. The ice will make it better. But you should not touch the honey in the tree. It belongs to the bees. They work hard to make it. They need it for their food. They do not like it when someone takes it. They will protect it. They will bite you. You should ask before you take something that is not yours." + +Tom is sorry. He learns his lesson. He says thank you to the lady. He says sorry to the bees. He says sorry to Sue. + +"I'm sorry, Sue. I was greedy. I wanted the honey. I did not think. I did not ask. I was wrong. Will you forgive me?" + +Sue is happy. She forgives Tom. She hugs him. + +"I forgive you, Tom. You are my friend. I'm glad you are okay. But next time, be careful. And be clean. Your hand is sticky. You need to wash it." + +They go to the fountain and wash their hands. They go back to the park and play. They are friends again. They are happy. They are clean. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they have to work. Mom and Dad say work is good for them. They have to clean their room, help with dishes, and learn new things. + +One day, Mom and Dad say they have to work hard. They have to help with the garden. Lily and Ben do not like the garden. It is hot and dirty. They have to dig, plant, and water. They get tired and bored. + +"Can we stop now?" Lily asks Mom. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to finish this row. Then we can have a snack and a nap," Mom says. + +"A nap? I do not want a nap. I want to play," Ben says. + +"Naps are good for you, too. They help you grow and rest. You will feel better after a nap," Dad says. + +Lily and Ben sigh. They keep working. They hope the work will end soon. They do not like naps, but they like snacks. They wonder what Mom and Dad will give them. Maybe cookies, or fruit, or cheese. They work faster. They want to finish the work and have the snack. Then they will have the nap. Maybe the nap will not be so bad. Maybe they will have nice dreams. They work hard. They are good twins. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They thought it was a good place to hide and pretend. + +"Let's be pirates and sail the seas!" Ben said. + +"Okay, but I want to be the captain!" Sara said. + +They climbed into the box and used a broom as a mast. They put a blanket over the box to make a sail. They pretended to see sharks and islands and treasure. + +"Look, there's a ship! Let's attack it and take their gold!" Ben shouted. + +"Repeat, repeat, what did you say?" Sara asked. She could not hear him well under the blanket. + +"I said, there's a ship! Let's attack it and take their gold!" Ben repeated. + +"Oh, okay. But be careful, they might have cannons!" Sara said. + +They made loud noises and waved their arms. They had a lot of fun. + +Soon, their mom came to the garage. She saw the box moving and heard the noises. She lifted the blanket and smiled. + +"What are you two doing in there?" she asked. + +"We're pirates, mom! We're sailing the seas and fighting other ships!" Ben said. + +"That sounds very exciting. But it's time for lunch now. Come out of the box and wash your hands," mom said. + +"Can we play pirates again after lunch?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, if you want to. But first, you have to put the box and the broom and the blanket back where you found them. And you have to say thank you to dad for giving you the box. He was very thoughtful to save it for you," mom said. + +"Okay, mom. Thank you, dad!" Sara and Ben said. + +They got out of the box and hugged their mom. They ran to the kitchen to eat their lunch. They were happy and hungry. They liked to play pirates, but they also liked to eat. +Sara and her mom went to the grocery store to buy some food. Sara liked to look at all the different things in the store. She saw some apples, some bread, some cheese, and some cookies. She wanted to buy some cookies, but her mom said no. + +"Why not?" Sara asked. + +"Because we have enough cookies at home, and we need to buy healthy food first," her mom said. + +Sara was not happy. She wanted to have some cookies now. She saw a big jar of cookies on a high shelf. She thought maybe she could reach it if she climbed on a cart. She waited until her mom was not looking, and then she tried to climb on the cart. + +But the cart was not steady. It moved and wobbled, and Sara lost her balance. She fell off the cart and knocked down the jar of cookies. The jar broke and the cookies scattered on the floor. Sara hurt her knee and started to cry. + +Her mom heard the noise and ran to see what happened. She saw Sara on the floor, surrounded by broken glass and cookies. She was angry and worried. + +"Sara, what did you do?" she asked. + +"I wanted some cookies," Sara said, sobbing. + +"Sara, you were very naughty. You did not listen to me, and you made a big mess. You could have hurt yourself or someone else. You need to examine your choices and think before you act. Do you understand?" her mom said. + +Sara nodded. She felt sorry for what she did. She said sorry to her mom and to the store lady who came to clean up the mess. She learned that she should obey her mom and not be greedy. + +Her mom hugged her and kissed her knee. She said she forgave her, but she had to pay for the jar and the cookies. She took some money from her purse and gave it to the store lady. + +"Thank you for being honest and graceful," the store lady said. "I hope you feel better soon." + +Sara thanked the store lady and smiled. She felt better, but she still did not get any cookies. She decided that next time, she would be more patient and respectful. She held her mom's hand and walked out of the store. +Lily and Max were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Max was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Max. She saw a big bush that was shaking a little. She thought Max was hiding there. + +She ran to the bush and shouted, "I found you, Max!" But when she pulled the leaves apart, she did not see Max. She saw a small kitten that was scared and hungry. The kitten meowed and rubbed against Lily's leg. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked the kitten. "Where is your mommy?" The kitten did not answer. It just looked at Lily with big eyes. Lily felt sorry for the kitten. She decided to take it home and give it some food and water. She picked up the kitten and hugged it. + +"Here, kitty, kitty, you can come with me. I will take care of you. You are my new friend," Lily said. + +Meanwhile, Max was hiding behind a tree. He saw Lily find the kitten and leave the park. He was confused and angry. He thought Lily cheated and did not look for him. He thought Lily did not want to play with him anymore. He felt lonely and sad. + +He came out of his hiding spot and shouted, "Lily, where are you? That's not fair! You did not reveal yourself! You did not say you found me! You did not say you were leaving!" + +But Lily did not hear him. She was already far away with the kitten. Max started to cry. He wished he had a friend like the kitten. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be selfish and jealous of others. Be happy for their good fortune and share your own. You never know when you might find a new friend or a treat. And always be alert and pay attention to your surroundings. You might miss something important or fun. +One day, a little boy named Ben wanted to play with his big sister, Mia. Mia was busy reading a book on the sofa. Ben tried to climb up the sofa, but he was too small. He fell down and hurt his knee. He cried and cried. + +Mia heard Ben crying and put down her book. She ran to him and hugged him. "What happened, Ben?" she asked. + +"I wanted to play with you, but I fell down and hurt my knee," Ben sobbed. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. You should be careful when you try to climb up the sofa. It's too high for you. Why don't you crawl to the toy box and pick a toy to play with? I'll read you a story later," Mia said. + +Ben nodded and wiped his tears. He crawled to the toy box and found a train. He liked trains. He played with the train on the floor and made choo-choo sounds. He felt better. + +Mia smiled and watched him. She was proud of her little brother. He was brave and he learned from his mistake. She picked up her book and waited for him to finish playing. Then she read him a story about a train that went on an adventure. + +The moral of the story is: Be careful when you try new things. If you fall down and hurt yourself, don't give up. Try something else that you can do. And always listen to your big sister. She loves you and wants to help you. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to pretend they were lions and tigers and make loud roars. They had fun chasing each other and hiding behind the trees and swings. + +But then they heard a big noise from the other side of the park. It was not a roar, it was a honk. They saw a big truck with a lot of boxes on it. The truck was making the noise to tell the cars to move. Lily and Ben did not like the noise. It hurt their ears and scared them. + +They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench with a book. She saw them and gave them a hug. She said, "Don't worry, it's just a truck. It will go away soon. Do you want some juice and cookies? I have some in my bag. They are sweet and yummy." + +Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They liked juice and cookies. They followed their mom to the bench and sat down. She gave them each a cup and a plate. They drank and ate and felt better. The noise was still there, but it was not so bad now. They said, "Thank you, mom. You are sweet too." + +Mom kissed them and said, "You're welcome, my little lions. Do you want to play some more?" Lily and Ben said, "Yes, please." They finished their juice and cookies and ran back to the park. They roared again and had more fun. They were happy. +Tommy was very excite to go to the office with his dad. He wanted to see what his dad did all day. He put on his best shirt and shoes and got in the car with his dad. + +When they got to the office, his dad showed him his desk and his computer. He also introduced him to some of his friends who worked there. They smiled and said hello to Tommy. Tommy liked them. + +Then his dad took him to a big room with a lot of chairs and a big screen. He said they had to go to a meeting. Tommy sat next to his dad and tried to be quiet. He saw some pictures and words on the screen, but he did not understand them. He got bored. + +He saw a red button on the table. He wondered what it did. He reached for it and pushed it. Suddenly, a loud alarm went off. Everyone in the room looked at Tommy. His dad looked angry. He said, "Tommy, what did you do?" + +Tommy felt scared. He did not mean to make the alarm go off. He said, "I'm sorry, dad. I just wanted to see what the button did." + +His dad sighed and said, "It's okay, Tommy. It was an accident. But you have to be careful in the office. There are some things you can't touch. They are not toys. They are for work." + +He hugged Tommy and said, "I love you, buddy. But maybe next time we can do something else together. Something more fun for you." + +Tommy nodded and said, "I love you too, dad. But can we go home now? The alarm is too harsh. It hurts my ears." +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play with their toys and watch TV. One day, they see a big fish in a tank at the store. The fish is old and has many colors. Sam and Ben want to have the fish at home. + +"Can we buy the fish, Mom?" Sam asks. + +"No, we can't. We don't have a tank or food for the fish. The fish is happy here," Mom says. + +But Sam and Ben do not listen. They wait until Mom is busy and they take the fish out of the tank. They put the fish in a bag and run to the car. + +"Look, we have the fish!" Ben says. + +"Shh, don't tell Mom. We can hang the fish in our room," Sam says. + +They get home and go to their room. They find a string and a hook. They make a hole in the bag and tie the string to it. They hang the fish on the hook on the wall. + +"Wow, the fish looks nice!" Sam says. + +"Yeah, it does!" Ben says. + +They play with the fish and talk to it. They forget to give it water or food. The fish is sad and scared. It can't breathe or swim. It tries to tell Sam and Ben, but they don't understand. + +The next day, Mom comes to their room. She sees the fish on the wall. She is angry and sad. + +"What have you done?" Mom asks. + +"We hung the fish, Mom. We wanted to have the fish," Sam says. + +"You hung the fish? You killed the fish! The fish needs water and food to live. The fish was old and sick. You should have left it at the store. How could you be so cruel?" Mom says. + +Sam and Ben are sorry and scared. They cry and say they are sorry. But it is too late. The fish is dead. Mom takes the fish and the bag and throws them away. She tells Sam and Ben to go to their bed and think about what they did. They have no fish and no toys. They have no fun. They have a bad day. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to go on the swings and the slide. But they also liked to push each other. Sometimes they pushed gently, and sometimes they pushed hard. + +One day, they saw a big hill with a wide path. They decided to race each other down the hill. They got on their bikes and pedaled fast. "I will win!" Tom shouted. "No, I will!" Lily said. + +They were almost at the bottom of the hill, when Tom saw a big rock on the path. He wanted to avoid it, but he also wanted to beat Lily. He had an idea. He pushed Lily's bike with his hand. He thought she would swerve and slow down. + +But he was wrong. Lily lost her balance and fell off her bike. She hit the rock with her head. She screamed in pain and blood came out. Tom stopped his bike and looked back. He saw what he had done. He felt very bad. + +The result was that Lily had to go to the hospital. She had a big cut on her head and a broken arm. She was very angry and sad. She did not want to talk to Tom.

Do you dare to wear it?" + +Lily and Tom shake their heads. They do not want to wear sour candy. They throw the bag in the trash. They go to the fountain and drink some water.

It is not hard. It is easy. Just touch the worm and you will be rich. Rich with cookie. Come on, Ben, I dare you," Lily said. + +Ben looked at the worm and then at the cookie. He wanted the cookie, but he did not want the worm. He was scared of the worm, but he was also curious. He wondered what the worm felt like. He wondered if the worm would bite him.

She ran to her mom, who was in the kitchen. She hugged her mom and showed her toe. Her mom looked at it and said, "Oh, poor Lila. You have a boo-boo. Let me get a band-aid." + +Her mom got a band-aid and put it on her toe. She kissed it and said, "There, there. It will be better soon. Do you want some food? I made some soup and bread for lunch." Lila nodded. She was hungry and the soup smelled good. She followed her mom to the table and sat on a chair. Her mom gave her a bowl of soup and a slice of bread. She said, "Be careful, the soup is hot. Blow on it first." + +Lila blew on the soup and took a sip. It was yummy. She ate the bread too. She felt better. She smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best." Her mom smiled back and said, "You are welcome, Lila. I love you." They hugged and ate their lunch. + +After lunch, Lila went back to her toys. She picked up her car and said, "Sorry, car. I did not mean to drop you. You are still my friend." She made it go fast and make noises again. Vroom, vroom! She did not hit her toe again. She was happy. She played until it was time for a nap. She took her bear and went to her bed. She said, "Good night, car. Good night, doll. Good night, ball. I will see you later." She cuddled her bear and closed her eyes. She had a good day. +Sara and Ben like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make towers, bridges, houses and more with their blocks. + +One day, they decide to have a contest. Who can make the highest stack of blocks? They each choose a spot on the floor and start to build. Sara picks red, blue and yellow blocks. Ben picks green, orange and purple blocks. + +They work hard and have fun. They talk to each other as they build. + +"Look at my stack, Sara. It is very tall and strong," Ben says. + +"My stack is taller and stronger, Ben. See how many blocks I have?" Sara says. + +They keep adding more blocks to their stacks. They are careful not to make them fall. They want to win the contest. + +But then, they hear a knock on the door. It is their mom. She has a surprise for them. She has a big cake with candles and frosting. It is their birthday! + +"Happy birthday, Sara and Ben!" Mom says. "Come and blow the candles and have some cake." + +Sara and Ben are happy. They forget about their stacks of blocks. They run to the door and hug their mom. They thank her for the cake. + +They look at the cake. It is pale and white, like snow. It has sprinkles and stars on it. It looks yummy. + +"Wow, mom. This is the best cake ever. Can we have some now?" Sara asks. + +"Of course, my loves. But first, make a wish and blow the candles," Mom says. + +Sara and Ben close their eyes and make a wish. They wish for more blocks to play with. They open their eyes and blow the candles together. They clap and cheer. + +They have a slice of cake each. They share it with their mom. They enjoy the sweet taste and the soft texture. They smile and laugh. + +They are happy. They have a good mom. They have a good cake. They have a good stack of blocks. They have a good birthday. +Lily and Ben are playing hide and seek in the park. Lily is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Lily counts to ten with her eyes closed. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! Ready or not, here I come!" she shouts. + +She looks around and sees a big slide, a swing, a sandbox and a tunnel. She thinks Ben might be hiding in the tunnel, so she runs towards it. She crawls inside and sees a dark exit at the other end. She hopes Ben is there. + +But when she reaches the exit, she does not see Ben. She sees a big dog instead. The dog is barking and showing its teeth. Lily is scared and wants to go back. But the dog is blocking the exit. She does not know what to do. + +She hears Ben's voice from behind. "Lily, are you okay? I'm here!" he says. He was hiding behind the slide and saw the dog. He runs to the tunnel and tries to help Lily. He picks up a stick and waves it at the dog. "Go away, bad dog! Leave Lily alone!" he says. + +The dog does not like the stick and runs away. Lily and Ben are happy and hug each other. They crawl out of the tunnel and see a nice lady. She is the dog's owner and she is sorry. She says the dog is not mean, just slow and curious. She says she will keep the dog on a leash from now on. She gives Lily and Ben a cookie and a juice. They say thank you and go back to play. They decide to count together and find a new hiding spot. They are brave and good friends. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with toys. Tom has a big white bear. Anna has a small brown dog. One day, they go to the park with their toys. + +"Look at my bear!" Tom says. "He is so soft and cuddly. He can hug me and keep me warm." + +Anna looks at the bear. She feels envious. She wants a bear like that. She thinks her dog is not as nice. + +"Can I play with your bear?" Anna asks. + +"No, he is mine!" Tom replies. "You have your dog. Go play with him." + +Anna feels sad and angry. She does not want to play with her dog. She wants to play with the bear. She thinks of a plan. + +She waits until Tom is not looking. Then she runs to his bear and grabs it. She runs away with the bear. + +"Hey, give me back my bear!" Tom shouts. He sees Anna running with his bear. He runs after her. + +They run and run. They do not see the big tree. They bump into the tree. The bear falls to the ground. The dog runs to the bear. He bites the bear. He tears the bear. + +Tom and Anna stop running. They see the bear and the dog. The bear is not white anymore. He is dirty and ripped. He is not soft and cuddly anymore. He is sad and hurt. + +Tom and Anna feel sorry. They feel bad. They did not share. They did not care. + +They look at each other. They say sorry. + +"Sorry, Tom. I should not have taken your bear. I was envious. I like your bear, but I like you more. You are my friend." Anna says. + +"Sorry, Anna. I should have let you play with my bear. I was selfish. I like my bear, but I like you more. You are my friend." Tom says. + +They hug each other. They hug the bear. They hug the dog. They are friends again. They learn to share. They learn to care. +Lily liked to play with her toys, but she did not like to share them. She had a big dragon that she loved very much. She made the dragon roar and fly and breathe fire. She did not let anyone else touch the dragon. + +One day, her friend Ben came over to play. He saw the dragon and wanted to play with it too. He asked Lily, "Can I play with your dragon? It looks so fun!" + +Lily said, "No, you can't! It is my dragon! Go away!" + +Ben felt sad and angry. He said, "That is not nice! You are very bossy! You should share your toys!" + +Lily said, "No, I should not! I don't want to share! Go find your own toys!" + +Ben looked around and saw a book on the shelf. He took the book and opened it. He saw pictures of different animals and words under them. He said, "Look, Lily, I found a book! It has a lot of animals in it! Do you want to see?" + +Lily looked at the book and saw a picture of a lion. She liked lions. She said, "Maybe I want to see. What is that animal?" + +Ben said, "That is a lion. It is big and yellow and has a mane. It can roar like your dragon." + +Lily said, "Really? Can I hear it roar?" + +Ben said, "Sure, you can. But first, you have to let me play with your dragon. That is fair." + +Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to hear the lion roar, but she did not want to give up her dragon. She said, "How about we play with both? You can play with my dragon for a little bit, and I can play with your book for a little bit. Then we can switch." + +Ben said, "That sounds good to me. I think that is a good idea. I recommend we do that." + +Lily said, "OK, let's do that. But be careful with my dragon. He is very special to me." + +Ben said, "Don't worry, I will be careful. And you be careful with my book. It is very special to me too." + +They smiled at each other and started to play. They had fun with the dragon and the book. They learned new words and made new sounds. They shared their toys and became friends. +Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat dinner. Mom said, "I have a surprise for you. I made a colorful dinner. Come and see!" + +Lily and Ben ran to the kitchen. They saw a big plate with many different foods. There were red tomatoes, green beans, yellow corn, orange carrots, and purple cabbage. Mom said, "This is a rainbow dinner. You can eat all the colors of the rainbow. It is good for you and tasty too." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They liked the colorful dinner. They picked up their forks and spoons and started to eat. They chewed the tomatoes and said, "Mmm, juicy!" They chewed the beans and said, "Mmm, crunchy!" They chewed the corn and said, "Mmm, sweet!" They chewed the carrots and said, "Mmm, bright!" They chewed the cabbage and said, "Mmm, soft!" + +Mom watched them and smiled too. She said, "I'm glad you like the rainbow dinner. You are eating very well. You are good children." Lily and Ben said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you and we love the colorful dinner." They gave Mom a hug and a kiss. They finished their dinner and asked for more. Mom said, "Of course, you can have more. There is plenty of rainbow for everyone." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the forest near their house. They look for animals, flowers and pine cones. Pine cones are brown and hard. They fall from the pine trees. Pine trees are tall and green. They smell nice. + +One day, Anna and Ben find a big pine cone. They pick it up and shake it. It makes a funny sound. They laugh and run to show it to their mom. Mom is in the kitchen. She is making cookies. + +"Look, mom, look!" Anna says. "We found a big pine cone!" + +"It makes a sound!" Ben says. He shakes the pine cone near mom's ear. + +Mom smiles and takes the pine cone. She listens to the sound. She says, "It sounds like a jolly jingle bell. Do you know what a jingle bell is?" + +Anna and Ben shake their heads. They do not know. + +Mom says, "A jingle bell is a small metal ball with a hole in it. It has a tiny thing inside that makes a sound when you move it. Like this." She takes a jingle bell from a drawer and shakes it. It makes a tinkling sound. + +Anna and Ben like the sound. They say, "Wow, a jingle bell!" + +Mom says, "Can you repeat what I said? A jingle bell is a small metal ball with a hole in it. It has a tiny thing inside that makes a sound when you move it." + +Anna and Ben try to repeat what mom said. They say, "A jingle bell is a small... metal... ball... with a hole... it has a tiny... thing... that makes a sound... when you move it." + +Mom claps and says, "Very good, Anna and Ben! You are very smart. Do you want to make a jingle bell necklace with the pine cone and the jingle bell?" + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "Yes, please!" + +Mom helps them to tie a string around the pine cone and the jingle bell. She puts the necklace around Anna's neck. Anna shakes the necklace and makes a jolly sound. Ben claps and says, "I want one too!" + +Mom says, "OK, let's go back to the forest and find another pine cone. Then we can make another jingle bell necklace for Ben." + +Anna and Ben hug mom and say, "Thank you, mom! We love you!" + +Mom hugs them back and says, "I love you too, my jolly jingle bells!" +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. + +One day, Tom sees a big red car in Sam's hand. He wants it. He says, "Give me that car, Sam. It is mine." + +Sam says, "No, Tom. It is not yours. It is mine. I got it from Grandma. You have your own cars." + +Tom gets angry. He tries to grab the car from Sam. Sam holds it tight. They pull and push. The car breaks. The wheels fall off. The horn makes a sour noise. + +Tom and Sam stop. They look at the broken car. They feel sad. They both love the car. They want to fix it. + +They try to put the wheels back on. They try to make the horn sound good. But they can't. The car is too broken. They need help. + +They go to Mom. They show her the broken car. They say, "Mom, can you fix our car? We broke it. We are sorry." + +Mom looks at the car. She shakes her head. She says, "I can't fix this car, boys. It is too broken. You should not fight over your toys. You should share and be nice. Now you have no car to play with." + +Tom and Sam feel bad. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We will share and be nice. Can we have another car?" + +Mom says, "No, boys. You can't have another car. You have to learn your lesson. You have to play with what you have. Maybe you can find something else to play with in the west room. There are some books and puzzles there." + +Tom and Sam go to the west room. They look for something to play with. But they don't feel like playing. They miss their big red car. They wish they could fix it. They wish they could go back in time and not fight. They are unhappy. The end. +Tom and Mia are playing in the garden. They see a big wire on the ground. It is shiny and curly. + +"Look, a wire!" Tom says. "Let's play with it!" + +"No, Tom, that is not a good toy," Mia says. "It can hurt you. Mama said to ignore it." + +But Tom does not listen to Mia. He is curious and clumsy. He picks up the wire and swings it around. He feels happy and silly. + +"Tom, stop it!" Mia says. "You are being naughty. The wire can cut you or shock you. Put it down now!" + +But Tom does not stop. He ignores Mia. He thinks he is having fun. He runs with the wire and trips over a rock. He falls down and the wire hits his arm. He feels a sharp pain and a loud zap. He drops the wire and cries. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Mia says. She runs to him and hugs him. She is scared and sorry. + +Tom is not okay. He is hurt and sad. He has a red mark on his arm. He wishes he had listened to Mia. He says, "I'm sorry, Mia. You were right. The wire is not a good toy. It is bad and dangerous. I was silly and clumsy. Can you forgive me?" + +Mia nods and smiles. She says, "Of course I can, Tom. You are my brother and I love you. But next time, please ignore the wire and play with something else. Okay?" + +Tom nods and smiles. He says, "Okay, Mia. Thank you for being my sister and caring for me. I love you too. Can we go inside and get a band-aid and a hug from Mama?" + +Mia says, "Yes, let's go. Come on, Tom. Hold my hand." + +They go inside and leave the wire behind. They learn their lesson and never play with it again. +Lily and her mom were in the car. They wanted to go to the park. But there was a lot of traffic. Cars and trucks and buses were everywhere. They moved very slow. + +"Mom, why are we not moving?" Lily asked. + +"Because there are too many cars, honey. We have to wait for them to move," her mom said. + +Lily was bored. She looked out the window. She saw a huge building. It had a big cross on top. It was a church. + +"Mom, what is that?" Lily pointed. + +"That is a church, honey. That is where people go to pray," her mom said. + +"What is pray?" Lily asked. + +"Pray is when you talk to God. You can say thank you, or ask for help, or say sorry, or anything you want," her mom said. + +"Can we pray now?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey. We can pray anytime, anywhere. What do you want to pray for?" her mom asked. + +Lily thought for a moment. Then she said, "I want to pray for the traffic to go away. And for us to go to the park. And for us to have fun. And for God to love us." + +Her mom smiled. She said, "That is a very good prayer, honey. I will pray with you." + +They closed their eyes. They held hands. They prayed together. Then they opened their eyes. + +The traffic started to move. The cars and trucks and buses made way for them. They drove to the park. They had fun. They felt God's love. They were happy. +Sara likes to mix things. She has a big bowl and a spoon. She puts flour, sugar, eggs and milk in the bowl. She mixes and mixes. She wants to make a cake for Mommy. + +Mommy is in her bed. She is very tired. She works hard every day. Sara wants to make her happy. She puts the bowl in the oven. She sets the timer. She waits and waits. + +The timer rings. Sara takes the bowl out of the oven. She smells the cake. It smells good. She puts some icing on the cake. She writes "I love you Mommy" with sprinkles. She is very proud. + +She carries the cake to Mommy's room. She opens the door. She sees Mommy sleeping. She puts the cake on the table. She says "Mommy, Mommy, wake up! I have a surprise for you!" + +Mommy opens her eyes. She sees Sara and the cake. She smiles. She hugs Sara. She says "Thank you, Sara. You are so kind. You made me a cake. I love you too, Sara. You are the best daughter ever." +Lily and Sam were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a colorful doll with long hair and a dress. Sam had a big truck with wheels and a horn. They were having fun, but they also wanted to share. + +"Can I play with your doll?" Sam asked Lily. + +"OK, but only for a little bit. Then you give it back to me," Lily said. + +"Can I play with your truck?" Lily asked Sam. + +"OK, but only for a little bit. Then you give it back to me," Sam said. + +They swapped their toys and tried them out. Lily made the truck go vroom vroom and honk honk. Sam brushed the doll's hair and sang to her. They were happy, but they also missed their own toys. + +"I want my doll back," Lily said. + +"I want my truck back," Sam said. + +They reached for their toys, but they both held on tight. They pulled and pulled, but neither of them would let go. They started to cry and yell. + +"Give me my doll!" Lily demanded. + +"Give me my truck!" Sam demanded. + +They were loud and angry, and they made a mess. Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asked. + +"They took my toy!" Lily and Sam said at the same time. + +Mom looked at them and shook her head. She was not happy. + +"You both need to learn to share and be nice. If you can't play with each other's toys, then you can't play with any toys. Give me the doll and the truck," Mom said. + +She took the toys and put them on a high shelf. Lily and Sam looked at their toys and felt sad. They realized they had been silly and mean. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I like your doll, but I like you more," Sam said. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I like your truck, but I like you more," Lily said. + +They hugged and said they were sorry to Mom. Mom smiled and gave them a kiss. + +"OK, I forgive you. But you have to promise to share and be nice from now on. If you do, you can have your toys back later. Now, how about some hot chocolate?" Mom said. + +Lily and Sam nodded and smiled. They liked hot chocolate, but they liked each other more. They followed Mom to the kitchen and held hands. They were happy again. +Lily was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new things. She always had many questions and ideas in her head. She loved to go to school and learn from her teacher, Miss Rose. But sometimes, she was too curious and did not follow the rules. + +One day, Miss Rose was teaching the class about animals. She drew different animals on the blackboard and asked the children to name them. Lily knew all the animals and raised her hand eagerly. She wanted to impress Miss Rose and her friends. + +But when Miss Rose called on her, Lily did not say the name of the animal. Instead, she asked, "Why do elephants have big ears? Can they fly with them?" Miss Rose smiled and said, "That's a good question, Lily, but we are not talking about that right now. Please answer the question I asked you." + +Lily felt embarrassed and angry. She did not like to be told what to do. She thought Miss Rose was boring and did not care about her questions. She decided to show Miss Rose that she was smarter and more fun than her. She waited for Miss Rose to turn her back and then grabbed a piece of chalk. She quickly drew a big pair of wings on the elephant on the blackboard and wrote, "Look, I can fly!" + +The other children saw what Lily did and started to laugh. Miss Rose heard the noise and turned around. She saw the elephant with wings and the words on the blackboard. She was shocked and angry. She knew it was Lily who did it. She said in a stern voice, "Lily, what have you done? This is very rude and disrespectful. You have to apologize and erase what you wrote. And as a punishment, you have to stay in the classroom during recess and write 'I will not draw on the blackboard' ten times." + +Lily felt scared and sorry. She realized she had made a big mistake. She did not mean to hurt Miss Rose's feelings or make fun of her lesson. She just wanted to be adventurous and creative. She said in a small voice, "I'm sorry, Miss Rose. I won't do it again. Please don't punish me." + +Miss Rose looked at Lily and saw that she was sincere. She said, "I appreciate your apology, Lily, but you still have to face the consequences of your actions. You have to learn to respect the rules and the teacher. You can be adventurous and creative, but not in a way that disrupts the class or damages the blackboard. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Rose. I understand. I will do what you say." She took the eraser and wiped the blackboard clean. Then she took a piece of paper and a pencil and started to write her punishment. She felt sad and bored. She wished she could go outside and play with her friends. She learned a hard lesson that day. She learned that being adventurous can be fun, but it can also get you in trouble. She decided to be more careful and respectful next time. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big machine in the park. It has many buttons and lights. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. "What does it do?" + +"I don't know," Mia says. "Maybe it makes sounds or pictures." + +Tom wants to try the machine. He pushes a button. The machine makes a loud beep. Tom laughs. + +"Let me try!" Mia says. She pushes another button. The machine makes a long hiss. Mia smiles. + +They push more buttons. The machine makes more sounds. They have fun. + +But then, a man comes. He is angry. He wears a hat and a coat. He has a badge. + +"Hey, you two!" he says. "Stop playing with the machine! It is not a toy! It is a very important machine! It measures the air and the weather!" + +Tom and Mia are scared. They did not know the machine was important. They did not want to break it. + +"Sorry, mister," Tom says. "We did not know. We were just curious." + +"Curious?" the man says. "You could have damaged the machine! It is very expensive and delicate! You should not touch things that are not yours!" + +The man is very loud. He makes Tom and Mia cry. + +"Please, don't be mad," Mia says. "We won't do it again. We will go away." + +The man sighs. He sees that Tom and Mia are sorry. He is not so angry anymore. He remembers that he was also curious when he was a child. + +"Okay, okay," he says. "I won't be mad. But you have to promise me something. Next time, if you see something you don't know, don't touch it. Ask someone first. Or better yet, suggest a different game. There are many other things you can play with in the park. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Mia nod. They understand. They promise to be careful. They suggest to play with the swings and the slide. The man smiles. He lets them go. He fixes the machine. He hopes it still works. He hopes the weather is good. +Sara was a lonely girl. She had no friends to play with at school. She liked to draw and read, but the other kids did not. They liked to run and shout and push. Sara did not like that. + +One day, Sara saw a new boy in her class. His name was Ben. He had a tray with his lunch on it. He looked around for a place to sit, but no one wanted him to sit with them. Sara felt sorry for him. She waved at him and said, "Hi, Ben. Do you want to sit with me?" + +Ben smiled and walked over to Sara. He put his tray next to hers and said, "Thank you, Sara. You are very kind. Do you mind if I share some of my cookies with you?" + +Sara shook her head and said, "No, I don't mind. I like cookies. Do you like to draw and read?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, I do. I have a book in my backpack. Do you want to see it?" + +Sara said, "Yes, please. I have some crayons in my bag. Do you want to use them?" + +Ben said, "Yes, thank you. You are very nice. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Sara smiled and said, "Yes, I do. You are very nice, too. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Ben and Sara hugged and said, "Yes, we do. We are friends." + +Sara and Ben ate their lunch and talked and laughed. They showed each other their books and drawings. They had a lot in common. They were not lonely anymore. They were happy. +Tom and Anna like to cook with Mom. Mom has a big book with many recipes. She shows them how to make a cake. They need eggs, flour, sugar, butter and milk. + +"Can I crack the eggs?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, but be careful not to make a mess," Mom says. + +"I want to stir the flour and sugar," Anna says. + +"OK, but don't spill them on the floor," Mom says. + +They mix everything in a big bowl. Then they pour the batter in a pan. Mom puts the pan in the oven. + +"Now we have to wait for the cake to bake," Mom says. + +They sit on the couch and read a story. They smell something yummy. The cake is ready. Mom takes it out of the oven and lets it cool. + +"Can we eat it now?" Tom asks. + +"Not yet, we have to make the frosting," Mom says. + +She takes another bowl and puts some cream cheese, butter and lemon juice in it. She whips them with a fork. + +"Can I taste it?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, but it might be sour," Mom says. + +Anna dips her finger in the bowl and licks it. She makes a funny face. + +"Yuck, it is sour!" she says. + +"That's OK, we will add some sugar to make it sweet," Mom says. + +She adds some sugar and stirs again. She spreads the frosting on the cake. She cuts a slice for each of them. + +"Here you go, enjoy your cake," she says. + +They take a bite and smile. + +"Mmm, it is delicious!" they say. + +They thank Mom for teaching them how to cook. They hug her and give her a kiss. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were very happy. They were going to the theater with Mom and Dad. The theater was very big and old. Mom said it was ancient. Ben and Lily did not know what ancient meant, but they liked the theater. It had many seats and a big stage. + +They sat in their seats and waited for the show to start. The show was about a princess and a dragon. Ben and Lily liked princesses and dragons. They watched the show and clapped their hands. The princess was very pretty and the dragon was very scary. + +But then something strange happened. The dragon changed. It became smaller and smaller. It turned into a frog. The princess was surprised and laughed. She picked up the frog and kissed it. The frog changed again. It became a prince. The prince was very handsome and happy. He hugged the princess and thanked her. They lived happily ever after. + +Ben and Lily liked the show very much. They asked Mom and Dad how the dragon changed. Mom and Dad said it was magic. Ben and Lily wanted to see more magic. They asked Mom and Dad if they could go to the theater again. Mom and Dad smiled and said yes. Ben and Lily were very happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. Tom had a big shovel and Lily had a small one. + +"Look, Tom, I found a worm!" Lily said, holding up a long, wiggly thing. + +"Wow, that's a big worm!" Tom said. "Can I see?" + +Lily gave him the worm and he put it in his hand. It tickled his palm. + +"Let's put it back in the hole," Lily said. "Maybe it has a family." + +They put the worm back in the hole and covered it with dirt. Then they dug another hole. + +"Hey, what's this?" Tom said, pulling out something orange and pointy. + +"It looks like a carrot!" Lily said. "Do you think it's a magic carrot?" + +"Maybe," Tom said. "Let's guess what it can do." + +"I guess it can make us fly!" Lily said. + +"I guess it can make us invisible!" Tom said. + +"I guess it can make us powerful!" Lily said. + +They took turns holding the carrot and pretending to have different powers. They flew around the garden, hid behind the bushes, and lifted heavy rocks. + +They had so much fun with the carrot that they didn't notice their mom calling them for lunch. + +"Tom, Lily, come inside!" their mom said. "It's time to eat!" + +They ran inside, still holding the carrot. + +"Look, mom, we found a magic carrot!" they said. + +"A magic carrot?" their mom said. "That's very nice. But you know what? Carrots are also good for eating. They make your eyes bright and your teeth strong. Do you want to share it with me?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They liked their mom and they liked carrots. They nodded and gave her the carrot. + +"Thank you, sweeties," their mom said. "You are very generous. Let's wash it and cut it into pieces. Then we can all enjoy it together." + +They washed the carrot and cut it into pieces. They ate it with their sandwiches and milk. It was crunchy and sweet. + +They smiled at each other. They still felt powerful, even without the magic carrot. They had each other, and that was the best magic of all. +Lily liked to dive in the pool. She was a good swimmer and she felt independent in the water. She could swim fast and do flips and jumps. She had fun with her friends and her teacher. + +One day, after swimming, Lily was very hungry. She went to the cafeteria with her friends and saw a big pot of soup. It smelled good and it was hot. Lily wanted some soup, but she did not want to wait in line. She was independent, she thought, and she could get her own soup. + +She grabbed a bowl and a spoon and walked to the pot. She reached for the ladle, but it was too high for her. She stretched and stretched, but she could not reach it. She decided to dive for it. She climbed on a chair and jumped into the pot. + +Splash! Lily was in the soup. It was hot and wet and sticky. She screamed and cried. Her friends and her teacher ran to help her. They pulled her out of the pot and wrapped her in a towel. They were worried and angry. + +"Lily, what did you do?" her teacher asked. "Why did you dive into the soup?" + +"I wanted some soup," Lily said. "I was independent." + +"No, Lily, you were not independent. You were foolish and dangerous. You could have burned yourself or spilled the soup on someone else. You have to wait your turn and ask for help when you need it. That is being independent and smart." + +Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She realized she had made a big mistake. She apologized to her teacher and her friends. She learned her lesson. She did not dive into the soup again. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play with chalk. They drew pictures and words on the sidewalk outside their houses. One day, a new boy arrived in their street. His name was Ben and he had a big bag of chalk. + +"Hi, can we play with you?" Lily asked Ben. + +"Sure, but you have to follow my rules," Ben said. "I am the boss of the chalk. You can only use the colors I give you and you have to draw what I say." + +Lily and Sam felt uncomfortable. They did not like Ben's rules. They wanted to use their own colors and draw their own things. But they did not want to be rude, so they agreed. + +Ben gave Lily a yellow chalk and Sam a brown chalk. He told them to draw a sun and a tree. Lily and Sam did not like these colors. They wanted to use blue and green and pink and purple. They also wanted to draw other things, like flowers and animals and stars. + +"Can we use different colors and draw different things?" Lily asked Ben. + +"No, you can't. You have to do what I say. I am the boss of the chalk," Ben said. + +Lily and Sam felt unhappy. They did not have fun playing with Ben. They decided to leave and play with their own chalk. + +"Bye, Ben. We don't want to play with you anymore. You are not a good friend. You are bossy and mean," Lily said. + +Sam nodded and followed Lily. They went to their own sidewalk and used their own chalk. They drew what they wanted and used all the colors. They had fun and smiled. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be bossy and mean to your friends. Let them use their own colors and draw their own things. Share and be kind. That's how you make good friends. +Tom and Anna were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses with their blocks. Sometimes they would count how many blocks they had, or how high their towers were. + +"Look, Anna, I have ten blocks in my tower!" Tom said, holding up his fingers. + +"That's good, Tom. I have nine blocks in my bridge. Can you count them with me?" Anna asked, pointing to her blocks. + +They started to count together. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine!" + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from outside. It was a siren. They saw a big red truck with a flashing light drive past their window. It was a fire truck. + +"What's that, Tom?" Anna asked, feeling scared. + +"That's a fire truck, Anna. It goes to help people when there is a fire. It's an emergency," Tom explained. + +"An emergency? What's that?" Anna wondered. + +"An emergency is when something bad happens and people need help fast. Like when there is a fire, or someone is hurt, or lost, or stuck. The fire truck has water and tools and brave people to help," Tom said. + +"Oh, I see. Do you think there is a fire somewhere?" Anna asked. + +"I don't know, Anna. Maybe. I hope everyone is okay," Tom said. + +They looked out the window again. It was a gloomy day. The sky was gray and the clouds were dark. They felt sad and worried. + +"Tom, can we pray for the people who need help?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, Anna. Let's pray," Tom agreed. + +They folded their hands and closed their eyes. They prayed for the people who had an emergency. They prayed for the fire truck and the brave people. They prayed for the fire to go away. They prayed for the sun to come out and make the day bright again. + +They felt a little better after they prayed. They hugged each other and smiled. + +"Tom, can we play with our blocks again?" Anna asked. + +"Okay, Anna. Let's play," Tom said. + +They went back to their blocks. They built new towers and bridges and houses. They counted their blocks again. They had fun. They hoped the people who had an emergency were safe and happy too. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they make a big mess. Mommy says they have to clean their room before they can go outside. + +"Look, Lily, we have so many toys on the floor. We have to put them in the box," Ben says. + +"But I don't want to clean. I want to play more," Lily says. + +"No, Lily, we have to listen to Mommy. She will be happy if we clean our room. And then we can go outside and play with our friends," Ben says. + +"Okay, Ben, you are right. Let's clean our room. You take the cars and I take the dolls," Lily says. + +They work together and put all their toys in the box. They also throw away the trash and make their beds.

She goes to the farm with her mom and dad every week. She has a nice horse named Spot. Spot is brown and white and very gentle. + +One day, Lily sees a new horse at the farm. It is big and black and has a shiny mane. Lily wants to ride the new horse. She asks her mom and dad, "Can I ride the black horse, please?" + +Her mom and dad shake their heads. "No, Lily, you can't ride the black horse. It is not for children. It is too fast and strong. You can ride Spot, your nice horse." + +Lily feels sad and angry. She does not want to ride Spot. She wants to ride the new horse. She thinks her mom and dad are not fair. She runs away from them and tries to climb on the black horse. + +But the black horse does not like Lily. It snorts and kicks and bucks. Lily falls off and hurts her knee. She cries and cries. Her mom and dad run to her and hug her. They say, "We are sorry, Lily. We know you wanted to ride the black horse. But it is not safe for you. You have to listen to us. We love you and we want you to be happy and healthy." + +Lily stops crying and looks at her mom and dad. She says, "I love you too. I am sorry I did not listen to you. You are right. The black horse is not for me. Can I ride Spot, my nice horse?" + +Her mom and dad smile and nod. They help Lily get on Spot. Spot is gentle and calm. He lets Lily stroke his mane and feed him a carrot. Lily feels happy and safe. She says, "Spot, you are my best friend. I like to ride you. You are a nice horse." +Sam likes to print. He has a big printer in his room. He prints pictures of cars, animals, and stars. He prints many papers and puts them on his wall. + +One day, Sam wants to print a new picture. He finds a picture of a lion on his computer. He likes the lion. It has a big mane and sharp teeth. He clicks the button to print the lion. + +But the printer makes a loud noise. It goes beep, beep, beep. Sam is scared. He covers his ears. He runs to his mom. + +"Mom, mom, the printer is loud!" he cries. + +Mom comes to his room. She sees the printer. She sees the paper. She sees the lion. + +"Sam, the printer is loud because it is out of ink. It cannot print the lion. It needs more ink," she says. + +She hugs Sam. She turns off the printer. She takes the paper. + +"Look, Sam, the lion is still on the paper. It is not a full lion, but it is a sight. You can see its eyes and nose and mane. It is a beautiful lion," she says. + +She puts the paper on Sam's wall. She smiles. + +"Maybe we can get more ink tomorrow and print more pictures. But for now, let's go and have a snack. Do you want a cookie?" she asks. + +Sam nods. He is not scared anymore. He likes the lion. He likes his mom. He likes cookies. He follows his mom to the kitchen. +Lily loves cocoa. She likes to drink it when it is cold outside. She likes how it is warm and smooth and sweet. She likes to put marshmallows on top of her cocoa. They are soft and white and yummy. + +One day, Lily and her mom go to the store. They need to buy more cocoa. Lily sees many kinds of cocoa on the shelf. She sees cocoa with nuts, cocoa with mint, cocoa with candy. She wants to try them all. But her mom says they can only pick one. + +Lily thinks hard. She looks at all the cocoa. She picks up one, then another, then another. She smells them and reads the names. She does not know which one to pick. They all look good. + +Then she sees it. The cocoa she wants.

The aeroplane made a loud noise and started to move. Lily and Ben looked out the window and saw the ground get smaller and smaller. They felt happy and scared at the same time. + +The lady with the cart came and gave them some food and drink. Lily and Ben opened their trays and saw some bread and cheese and juice. They tasted their food. Lily liked the cheese. It was soft and yummy. Ben did not like the bread. It was hard and dry. He made a face and said, "Yuck! This bread is bad. I don't want it." + +Mum saw Ben's face and said, "It's okay, Ben. You don't have to eat it. Maybe you can have some of Lily's cheese. Or you can have some of my apple. It's sweet and crunchy." + +Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Mum. Can I have some apple, please?" Mum gave him some apple and he tasted it. He liked the apple. It was sweet and crunchy. He said, "Mmm, this apple is good. I like it." + +Lily and Ben finished their food and drink and put their trays away. They looked out the window again and saw some clouds and some birds. They wondered where they were going and what they would see. They felt happy and curious. They hugged their mum and dad and said, "We love you. We love flying in the aeroplane." +Lily and Ben are playing with a ball in the park. They see a cat sitting on a bench. The cat has a long string around its neck. Lily and Ben want to pet the cat. + +"Hello, cat," Lily says. "Can we play with you?" + +The cat looks at them and meows. It does not run away. Lily and Ben walk slowly to the bench.

Tim shouts. He chases Lily around the living room. He tries to catch her and get his block back. Lily runs faster and faster. She does not see the table leg in front of her. She bumps into it and falls down. The white block flies out of her hand and hits the floor. It breaks into two pieces. + +"Oh no!" Lily cries. She picks up the broken pieces and tries to put them together. They do not fit. She feels sorry and scared. She does not want Tim to be mad at her. + +Tim sees the broken block and stops running. He feels sad and angry. He loved his white block. He thinks Lily is not nice. He walks over to her and snatches the pieces from her hand. + +"You broke my white block!" Tim yells. "You are a bad girl. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +Lily starts to cry. She wants to say sorry and make Tim happy. She does not know what to do.

Can we be friends again?" + +Tim looks at Lily and sees her tears. He feels sorry and sad. He does not want to make Lily cry. He remembers that they are friends and that they like to play together. He thinks maybe he can share his blocks with her. + +"OK, I'm sorry too," Tim says. "I shouldn't have been mean to you. You can play with my blocks if you want. Can we hug and make up?" + +Lily smiles and nods. She hugs Tim and says thank you. Tim hugs her back and says you're welcome.

They laugh. They have fun in the park. They talk to the man and the dog. They forget about the sign. They forget about the cold. +Tommy and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big dog with a collar and a leash. The dog was brown and fluffy. It looked friendly. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Tommy asked Lily. + +"Let's ask the owner first," Lily said. She was a careful girl. + +They walked to the owner, who was sitting on a bench. He was reading a book. He had glasses and a hat. + +"Excuse me, sir, can we pet your dog?" Lily asked politely. + +The owner looked up and smiled. "Sure, kids, his name is Buddy. He loves to be petted and massaged. He's very gentle." + +Tommy and Lily thanked the owner and went to Buddy. They stroked his fur and scratched his ears. Buddy wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was very happy. + +"Can I massage his belly?" Tommy asked. + +"Sure, he likes that too," the owner said. + +Tommy put his hand under Buddy's belly and rubbed it softly. Buddy rolled over and closed his eyes. He made a funny noise. + +"What's that?" Tommy asked. + +"That's him snoring. He's very relaxed," the owner said. + +Tommy and Lily laughed. They thought Buddy was cute and funny. + +But then, something happened. A loud noise came from the street. It was a fire truck with a siren and a horn. It was going to a fire. + +Buddy woke up and got scared. He jumped up and barked. He was fierce. He pulled his leash and ran to the street. He wanted to chase the fire truck. + +"Stop, Buddy, stop!" the owner shouted. He dropped his book and ran after him. + +Tommy and Lily were shocked. They didn't know what to do. They felt bad for the owner and Buddy. + +"Come back, Buddy, come back!" they yelled. + +But Buddy didn't listen. He ran faster and faster. He crossed the street and almost got hit by a car. The driver honked and yelled. Buddy was in trouble. + +The owner was out of breath. He couldn't catch up with Buddy. He was worried and embarrassed. He wished he had a stronger leash. + +"Help, help, someone help me!" he cried. + +Tommy and Lily looked around. They saw a policeman on a bike. He was wearing a helmet and a badge. He was near the park. + +"Look, there's a policeman! Maybe he can help!" Lily said. + +"Let's ask him!" Tommy said. + +They ran to the policeman and told him what happened. They pointed to Buddy and the owner. + +"Please, sir, can you help them? The dog is scared and the owner is embarrassed. They need your help!" Lily said. + +The policeman nodded. He was kind and brave. He got on his bike and pedaled fast. He followed Buddy and the owner. + +"Stay here, kids, I'll be back soon!" he said. + +Tommy and Lily waited. They hoped the policeman would catch Buddy and bring him back. They hoped the owner and the dog would be okay. They hoped the fire truck would put out the fire. + +They held hands and prayed. They were good friends. +Tom was a little boy who liked to taste new things. He tasted apples, cheese, bread, and milk. He tasted flowers, grass, dirt, and bugs. He tasted everything he could find. + +One day, he saw a big shadow on the wall. It looked like a monster with horns and teeth. Tom was not afraid. He wanted to taste the shadow. He ran to the wall and opened his mouth. + +"Stop!" a voice said. Tom looked up and saw his big sister, Jen. She was holding a flashlight. She was making the shadow with her hand. + +"What are you doing?" Jen asked. "You can't taste a shadow. It's not real. It's just dark and cold." + +Tom was confused. He touched the wall with his tongue. It was hard and smooth. He did not like it. He felt miserable. + +"Why did you make a monster shadow?" Tom asked. "You scared me." + +Jen smiled. She was sorry. She wanted to play with Tom. She turned off the flashlight. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I was bored. Do you want to play with me? We can make funny shadows with our hands. Like a dog, or a bird, or a bunny." + +Tom nodded. He liked funny shadows. He forgave Jen. He took her hand and they went to the bed.

One day, they see a big truck with many bottles on it. The bottles are green and shiny. They want to watch the truck. + +"Mom, can we watch the truck?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't go too close to the road," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben run to the fence and watch the truck. They see a man get out of the truck. He is wearing a blue shirt and a hat. He has a big smile. He takes a bottle from the truck and gives it to a lady. The lady says thank you and gives him some money. He does the same thing with many other people. He is selling the bottles. + +"Wow, he has so many bottles. I wonder what is inside them," Ben says. + +"Maybe it is juice. Or water. Or soda," Anna says. + +"I want a bottle. Can we have a bottle, Mom?" Ben asks. + +Mom shakes her head. "No, we don't need a bottle. We have our own drinks at home. And those bottles are too expensive. The man is asking for a lot of money. He is not modest. He is greedy." + +Anna and Ben are sad. They want a bottle. They think the bottles are pretty and fun. They watch the man sell more bottles. Then they see something happen. A dog runs out of the park and chases a cat. The cat runs across the road. The dog follows the cat. The man sees the dog and the cat. He drops the bottle he is holding. It breaks on the ground. The liquid inside the bottle spills out. It is not juice. Or water. Or soda. It is green and bubbly. It smells bad. It makes a loud noise. It makes smoke. It makes fire. + +"Ah! Help! My bottles! My bottles!" The man screams. + +He runs to the truck. He tries to save his bottles. But it is too late. The fire spreads to the truck. The truck explodes. The bottles explode. The park explodes. The people scream. The dog and the cat run away. + +Anna and Ben are scared. They hug Mom. Mom hugs them back. She takes them away from the park. She takes them home. She gives them juice. And water.

Ben was scared of the hill and wanted to stay on the grass. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go up the hill!" Anna said. "It will be fun!" + +"No, Anna, the hill is too high and steep. We might fall or get lost. Let's play here with our toys," Ben said. + +Anna insisted. She took Ben's hand and pulled him towards the hill. Ben tried to resist, but Anna was stronger. She dragged him up the hill, step by step. + +As they climbed, they heard a loud roar. It sounded like a mighty animal. Ben was terrified. He wanted to go back, but Anna was curious. She wanted to see the animal. + +"Anna, please, let's go back! There is a scary noise! It might be a lion or a bear!" Ben said. + +"Don't be silly, Ben. There is no lion or bear here. It's probably just a cow or a dog. Let's go and say hello," Anna said. + +They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw a big farm with many animals. There were cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, and horses. But there was also something else. Something that made the loud roar. Something that was not a cow or a dog. + +It was a tractor. A big, yellow, noisy tractor. It was working on the field, plowing and sowing. The twins were amazed. They had never seen a tractor before. They wanted to touch it and ride it. + +"Wow, look, Ben, it's a tractor! It's so cool! Let's go and see it!" Anna said. + +"Anna, no, wait! It's dangerous! It might hurt us or run us over! Let's stay away from it!" Ben said. + +But Anna did not listen. She ran towards the tractor, waving her arms and shouting. Ben followed her, trying to stop her. The farmer who was driving the tractor saw them and stopped. He got off the tractor and walked towards them. He was not happy. + +"Hey, you kids, what are you doing here? This is private property! You can't just run around on my farm! You could have been hurt by the tractor or the animals! Go back to your house, now!" he said. + +He was very angry. He scared the twins. They realized they had made a mistake. They apologized to the farmer and ran back to the hill. They went down the hill, holding hands. They were glad they were safe. They learned their lesson. They decided to never climb the hill again. They played on the grass with their toys. They were happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big oak tree in the park. The oak tree has many leaves and acorns. + +One day, Lily and Ben find a big acorn under the oak tree. They want to see what is inside. Ben tries to crack the acorn with his teeth, but it is too hard. Lily tries to smash the acorn with a rock, but it is too strong. + +"Who can open this acorn?" Lily asks. + +"I know!" Ben says. "We can lift it up and drop it from the oak tree. Maybe it will break then." + +"That is a good idea!" Lily says. "You are very intelligent, Ben." + +Lily and Ben lift the acorn together. It is heavy, but they are strong. They climb the oak tree with the acorn. They find a high branch and put the acorn on it. + +"Ready?" Ben asks. + +"Ready!" Lily says. + +They push the acorn off the branch. It falls down, down, down. It hits the ground with a loud thud. + +Lily and Ben climb down the oak tree. They run to the acorn. They see a crack in the shell. They peel it off and find a nut inside. + +"Wow!" Lily says. "We did it!" + +"Yay!" Ben says. "We can share the nut. It is our reward for being intelligent and brave." + +They smile and eat the nut. It is sweet and crunchy. They are happy. They hug the oak tree and thank it for the acorn. They are friends with the oak tree too. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a toy car in the grass. The car is old and dirty. It has no wheels and no windows. + +"Look, a car!" Sam says. + +"Can we play with it?" Mia asks. + +Sam nods. He picks up the car and tries to make it move. But the car does not move. It is broken. + +"Maybe we can fix it," Mia says. She looks around and sees a trash can. She runs to the trash can and looks inside. She finds four bottle caps and two straws. + +"Here, I have wheels and windows!" she says. She brings them to Sam. + +Sam smiles. He takes the bottle caps and the straws. He uses the straws to make holes in the bottle caps. Then he pushes the bottle caps onto the car. He also puts the straws in the car to make windows. + +"Wow, you are smart!" Mia says. + +"Thank you, you are kind!" Sam says. + +They look at the car. The car looks new and shiny. It has wheels and windows. It is smooth and fast. + +"Let's go for a walk with the car!" Sam says. + +"Okay, let's go!" Mia says. + +They hold the car and run to the path. They make the car roll on the ground. They make the car go left and right. They make the car go fast and slow. They have fun with the car. + +They restore the car and enjoy their walk. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a bee flying near a flower. Lily likes bees. She thinks they are pretty and make honey. She wants to get closer to the bee. + +"Look, Ben, a bee!" she says. "Can I touch it?" + +Ben shakes his head. He is nervous of bees. He thinks they are scary and sting. He does not want to get near the bee. + +"No, Lily, don't touch it!" he says. "It might hurt you!" + +Lily does not listen to Ben. She walks slowly to the flower. She reaches out her hand to the bee. The bee does not like Lily. It feels angry and afraid. It buzzes loudly and flies at Lily. + +Lily screams. She runs away from the bee. She is scared and sad. She has a red bump on her arm. It hurts a lot. + +Ben runs to Lily. He hugs her and says sorry. He tries to make her feel better. + +"It's okay, Lily, it's okay," he says. "The bee is gone now. Let me get you some ice. It will help your bump." + +Lily nods. She is still crying. She holds Ben's hand. They go inside the house. They find their mom. She gives them some ice and a hug. She tells them a story about bees. She says bees are good and important, but they need to be careful and respectful around them. + +Lily and Ben listen to their mom. They learn something new. They feel a little better. They say thank you to their mom. They go back to the garden. They play with other things. They do not touch the bees. They are happy and safe. +Anna and Ben were very happy. They were going on a holiday with their mom and dad. They packed their bags with toys and clothes. They got in the car and drove to the airport. + +At the airport, they saw many big planes. They had wings and engines. They could fly in the sky. Anna and Ben wanted to see them soar. They asked their mom and dad if they could go to the window. + +"Sure, you can go to the window, but stay close to us," mom said. "We don't want to lose you in the crowd." + +Anna and Ben ran to the window. They saw a plane take off. It went very fast and then it lifted up. It soared above the clouds. Anna and Ben clapped their hands. + +"Wow, that's amazing!" Anna said. "Can we soar too?" + +"Yes, we can," dad said. "Our plane is ready to board. Come on, let's go." + +Anna and Ben followed their mom and dad. They showed their tickets to a lady. She smiled and gave them stickers. They had pictures of planes on them. + +"Here you go, these are for you," she said. "You are very original. You are the only kids with red hats today." + +Anna and Ben thanked the lady. They put the stickers on their hats. They felt very special. They walked to the plane. They found their seats. They buckled their belts. They were ready to soar. They were very excited. They were going on a holiday. +Ben and Mia like to play pirates on the big boat. They have a hat, a sword and an anchor. The anchor is heavy and shiny. They pretend to sail to an island with treasure. + +One day, they see a dark cloud in the sky. It makes a loud noise. Ben says, "Oh no, a storm is coming! We have to go back to the dock!" Mia says, "But we have to find the treasure first!" Ben says, "No, it is too dangerous. Come on, help me pull the anchor." + +They try to pull the anchor, but it is stuck. They pull harder and harder. The rope is thin and old. It makes a snap sound. The anchor breaks the rope and falls into the water. Ben and Mia gasp. They lose the anchor. + +They run to the front of the boat. They see the storm is closer. The wind is strong and the waves are big. They are scared. They shout, "Help! Help! We need help!" + +A man hears them. He is the captain of the boat. He comes to them and says, "What are you doing here? You should not play on the boat. It is not safe." He sees the broken rope. He says, "Where is the anchor? Did you break it?" Ben and Mia nod. They are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, captain. We were playing pirates. We did not mean to break the anchor." + +The captain is angry, but he is also kind. He says, "Well, you are lucky I found you. The storm is very bad. We have to go inside. I will try to fix the anchor later. But you have to promise me, no more playing on the boat. Do you understand?" Ben and Mia nod. They say, "We understand, captain. We promise. Thank you for saving us." They follow the captain inside. They are glad they are safe. They learn their lesson. They do not play pirates on the boat again. +Lily and Tom are playing with their toy soldiers. They like to pretend they are in a war and order their soldiers to fight. Lily has a lot of chubby soldiers. She thinks they are strong and brave. Tom has fewer soldiers, but they are fast and smart. + +One day, Lily and Tom decide to have a big war. They put their soldiers on opposite sides of the room. They make a loud noise to start the war. "Charge!" they shout. Their soldiers run towards each other. Some of them fall down. Some of them hit each other. Some of them hide behind the sofa. + +Lily and Tom watch the war and order their soldiers to do different things. "Go left!" Lily says. "Go right!" Tom says. "Attack!" Lily says. "Defend!" Tom says. They have fun and laugh. They do not care who wins or loses. They just like to play. + +But then, something happens. Lily's chubby soldier bumps into Tom's fast soldier. They both fall down. They look at each other. They do not want to fight. They want to be friends. They smile and shake hands. They stand up and walk away from the war. They go to the kitchen and look for some cookies. + +Lily and Tom see their soldiers leaving the war. They are surprised and confused. They do not understand why their soldiers do not want to fight. They follow them to the kitchen. They see their soldiers sharing cookies and talking. They see their soldiers being nice and happy.

They share cookies and stories. They play with their soldiers and have fun. They learn a new word: peace. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park with their dog, Patch. Patch was a big, brown dog who liked to run and chase balls. Sam threw a ball for Patch, and he ran after it very fast. But then, Patch saw a cat on the other side of the fence. He wanted to catch the cat, so he jumped over the fence and ran away. + +"Patch, come back!" Sam shouted. He and Lily ran to the fence, but they could not see Patch. They were scared and sad. They did not want to lose their dog. + +They heard a loud bark from far away. They followed the sound and saw Patch in a big hole. He had fallen into the hole and could not get out. He was dirty and hurt. He had a cut on his leg. + +"Patch, we are here!" Lily called. She and Sam tried to pull Patch out of the hole, but he was too heavy. They needed help. + +They saw a man walking by with a shovel. He was digging a garden. They waved at him and asked him to help. + +"Please, mister, can you help us? Our dog is in the hole and he is stuck. He needs to go to the vet. He is bleeding," Sam said. + +The man nodded and came over. He used his shovel to make the hole bigger. Then he lifted Patch out of the hole and put him on the grass. He gave him some water and wrapped a cloth around his leg. + +"Thank you, mister, you are very kind. You rescued our dog," Lily said. + +The man smiled and said, "You're welcome, kids. I'm glad I could help. Patch is a brave dog. He will be fine. But you should take him to the vet soon. He needs a proper patch for his wound." + +Sam and Lily hugged Patch and thanked the man again. They called their mom and told her what happened. She came to pick them up and take them to the vet. Patch was happy to see his mom. He licked her face and wagged his tail. + +They all went to the vet and Patch got a real patch for his leg. He also got a treat and a toy. He felt much better. He was glad that Sam and Lily and the man had rescued him. He loved them very much. + +They went back home and Patch rested on his bed. Sam and Lily cuddled with him and read him a story.

One day, they saw a new pool at the park. It had water and toys and a small slide. + +"Let's go swim!" Lily said. She ran to the pool and put on her swim suit. She jumped in the water and splashed. + +"Wait for me!" Max said. He ran to the pool and put on his swim suit. He tried to jump in the water, but he was too thin. He slipped on the edge and fell on the ground. He hurt his knee and cried. + +"Are you okay?" Lily asked. She got out of the water and ran to Max. She saw his knee was red and wet. + +"I'm sorry, Max. I didn't mean to leave you. Do you want to swim with me?" Lily said. + +Max sniffed and nodded. He got up and held Lily's hand. They walked to the pool and slid on the small slide. They had fun and forgot about the hurt. They were friends who liked to slide and swim. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big aeroplane in the sky. It makes a loud noise. + +"Wow, look at the aeroplane!" Ben says. "It is so fast and shiny. I want to fly in an aeroplane one day." + +Anna nods. She likes aeroplanes too. She has a toy aeroplane at home. She pretends to be a pilot and makes zooming sounds. + +"Where do you think the aeroplane is going?" Anna asks Ben. "Maybe it is going to a faraway place. Maybe it is going to see the animals in the jungle. Or the snow in the mountains. Or the sea with the fish." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He has many ideas. He likes to imagine different places. + +"I think the aeroplane is going to see the stars," he replies. "It is going to fly higher and higher until it reaches the sky. It is going to see the moon and the sun and the planets. It is going to have a lot of fun." + +Anna and Ben smile. They think that would be amazing. They watch the aeroplane until it disappears behind the clouds. They wonder what it will see next. They hope it will be happy and healthy.

They see many things on the way: birds, flowers, cars, dogs. + +One day, they see something new: an enormous elephant. The elephant is gray and has a long nose and big ears. It is walking slowly on the road. Anna and Ben are very surprised and curious. + +"Dad, what is that?" Anna asks. + +"That is an elephant, Anna. It is a very big animal that lives in faraway places. Sometimes, people bring them to the zoo or the circus," dad explains. + +"Can we speak to the elephant, dad?" Ben asks. + +"Well, we can try, but the elephant may not understand us. Elephants have their own way of speaking, with sounds and gestures," dad says. + +Anna and Ben decide to try anyway. They wave their hands and say hello to the elephant. The elephant stops and looks at them. Then, it makes a loud noise with its nose and flaps its ears. Anna and Ben laugh and clap their hands. + +The elephant seems to like them too.

Let's go to your room and cuddle on your bed," mom said. + +They walked to Sara's room and mom picked up the book from the bookshelf. But when they got to the bed, they saw a big mess. Sara's little brother, Tom, had taken all her books from the bookshelf and thrown them on the floor. He was sitting on the bed, tearing a page from the new book. + +"Tom, no!" Sara cried. "That's my new book! You're ruining it!" + +Mom was angry. She took the book from Tom and scolded him. "Tom, that's not nice. You can't take Sara's books without asking. And you can't rip them. Books are precious. They have stories and pictures that make us happy and teach us things. You have to respect them and protect them." + +Tom looked sad. He didn't mean to hurt Sara's books.

Anna wanted to talk to him, but she was afraid he would not like her. She walked around the tree, pretending to look for something. + +"Hello," the boy said. "What are you looking for?" + +Anna was surprised. She did not expect him to speak to her. She felt her face turn red.

She liked to imagine different worlds and adventures. + +"I have many stories in this book," the boy said. "Do you want to hear one?" + +Anna nodded again. She felt curious and happy. She sat down next to the boy, under the tree. + +The boy opened his book and read a story about a brave knight and a dragon. Anna listened with wonder and excitement. She forgot to be shy. She asked questions and made comments. The boy liked her. He liked her voice and her eyes. + +They read more stories and laughed and talked. They became friends. They decided to collect things together. They found leaves, flowers, acorns and pine cones. They put them in a bag and took them to Anna's house.

They did not want to lose their favorite toy. + +Then they heard a voice from the kitchen. + +"Hey, kids, do you want some cookies?" Mom asked. + +They ran to the kitchen and saw Mom holding a tray of cookies. And on the tray, they also saw the missing piece. It was the piece for the farmer's hat. + +"Mom, you found it! You found it!" Lily and Tom shouted, jumping with joy. + +"Yes, I did. It was under the table. I'm sorry, I didn't know it was part of your puzzle. Here you go." Mom said, giving them the piece. + +"Thank you, Mom! You are the best!" Lily and Tom said, hugging Mom. + +They ran back to the living room and finished the puzzle. They were very happy and proud. They showed Mom their work and ate the cookies. They learned to not panic and to always look for the missing piece. +Lily and Max loved to play with their boats in the pond. They had a red boat and a blue boat, and they liked to race them across the water. Sometimes they would blow on the sails, and sometimes they would use sticks to push them. + +One day, they met a new friend at the pond. His name was Sam, and he had a yellow boat. He asked them if they wanted to race with him. Lily and Max said yes, and they got ready to start. + +"Ready, set, go!" Sam shouted, and they all let go of their boats. The boats zoomed away, splashing and bobbing. Lily's red boat was very fast, and soon it was in the lead. Max's blue boat was close behind, and Sam's yellow boat was last. + +"Go, go, go!" Lily cheered, watching her boat. She was so happy, she did not see the big rock in the water. Her boat hit the rock and flipped over. Lily gasped and ran to the edge of the pond. + +"Oh no, my boat!" she cried. She reached out to grab it, but it was too far. She felt tears in her eyes. + +Max and Sam saw what happened, and they stopped their boats. They felt sorry for Lily, and they wanted to help her. + +"Here, Lily, you can have my boat," Sam said, holding out his yellow boat. "It's not as fast, but it's very gentle. It won't hit any rocks." + +Lily looked at Sam, and then at his boat. She smiled and wiped her eyes. + +"Thank you, Sam, you are very kind," she said, taking his boat. "Can we all play together?" + +"Of course, we can," Max said, joining them. "Let's make a new game. Let's see who can make the biggest waves!" + +They all nodded and laughed, and they started to splash their boats in the pond. They had a lot of fun, and they became good friends. They learned that racing was not as important as sharing and caring. +Tommy had a new dog. His name was Spot. Spot was a big dog with black and white fur. Tommy loved Spot very much. He wanted to play with him all the time. + +But Spot was not a good dog. He did not listen to Tommy or his mom. He ran away when they called him. He barked at other dogs and people. He pulled on the leash and made Tommy fall. He chewed on Tommy's toys and shoes. He made a big mess in the house. + +Tommy's mom said, "Spot needs to learn some manners. He needs to be obedient. He needs to come when we call him. He needs to sit and stay and heel. He needs to be nice to others. He needs to stop biting and destroying things. Or else we cannot keep him." + +Tommy was sad. He did not want to lose Spot. He said, "How can I teach him, mom? He does not understand me." + +Tommy's mom said, "You can take him to a dog school. There, a teacher will help you and Spot. He will show you how to use words and treats and a clicker. He will make Spot happy and smart. He will make Spot a good dog." + +Tommy liked the idea. He said, "OK, mom. Let's go to the dog school. I want to learn with Spot. I want to be his best friend." + +So Tommy and his mom took Spot to the dog school. There, they met the teacher and other dogs and owners. The teacher was kind and patient. He taught Tommy and Spot how to communicate and cooperate. He taught Spot how to heel, which means to walk next to Tommy without pulling. He taught Spot how to sit and stay and come when Tommy said so. He taught Spot how to be gentle and polite with other dogs and people. He gave Spot treats and praise and clicks when he did well. He corrected Spot when he did wrong. + +Spot learned fast. He liked the dog school. He liked the teacher and the other dogs. He liked the treats and the clicks. He liked Tommy and his mom. He wanted to make them happy. He became obedient. He became a good dog. + +Tommy was proud. He said, "Look, mom. Spot is heeling. He is sitting. He is staying. He is coming. He is nice. He is smart. He is a good dog." + +Tommy's mom said, "Yes, Tommy. Spot is a good dog. And you are a good owner. You learned how to teach him. You learned how to love him. You learned how to be responsible. You learned a lot at the dog school." + +Tommy and Spot hugged each other. They were happy. They were best friends. + +The moral of the story is: Learning is fun and rewarding. It can help us and our pets to be better and happier. It can strengthen our bonds and friendships. It can teach us values and skills. +Ella and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. But one day, they saw a big sign that said: "Park closed for repairs. No playing allowed." They were very sad and angry. + +"Who did this?" Max asked. "Why can't we play here?" + +"I don't know," Ella said. "But maybe we can find another place to play." + +They walked around the park, looking for a way in. They saw a fence, a gate, a wall, but they were all locked. Then they saw a small hole under a bush. It was dark and dirty, but it looked big enough for them to crawl through. + +"Look, Max, a secret tunnel!" Ella said. "Maybe it leads to the park." + +"Let's go and see," Max said. "But be careful, it might be dangerous." + +They crawled through the hole, holding hands. They felt cold and wet, and heard strange noises. They were scared, but also curious. They kept going, hoping to find the park. + +After a while, they saw a light at the end of the tunnel. They crawled faster, and came out into a beautiful garden. There were flowers, trees, birds, and a pond. And there was a big slide, a swing, a sandbox, and a seesaw. It was like a dream. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Ella said. "It's like our own secret park!" + +"Look, there's someone over there," Max said. He pointed to a bench, where an elderly lady was sitting. She had white hair, a kind face, and a big hat. She was knitting a scarf. + +"Hello, children," the lady said. "I'm glad you found my garden. I made it for you." + +"For us?" Ella and Max asked. They were surprised and happy. + +"Yes, for you. And for all the children who love to play. I used to play in the park, too, when I was young. But then they closed it, and I was sad. So I decided to make my own park, in this old tunnel. I planted the seeds, and watered them, and watched them grow. And I brought some toys, too. But I couldn't share it with anyone, because it was a secret. Until you came along." + +The lady smiled, and invited them to sit with her. She gave them some cookies and milk, and told them stories. Ella and Max listened, and laughed, and asked questions. They felt like they had found a new friend. + +"Thank you for your garden, and your stories, and your cookies," Ella said. "You are very kind." + +"Yes, thank you," Max said. "You are very cool." + +The lady hugged them, and said: "You are very welcome. And you are very brave. You united to find a way to play, and you discovered a secret. You made me very happy. And you can come back anytime you want. Just remember, don't tell anyone else. It's our secret." + +Ella and Max nodded, and promised. They played in the garden for a while, and then said goodbye to the lady. They crawled back through the tunnel, and went home. They felt like they had had the best adventure ever. And they kept their secret. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big hill. They want to climb the hill. + +"Let's go up the hill!" Tim says. "We can see the whole park from there!" + +"OK!" Sam says. "But be careful. The hill is steep and slippery." + +They start to climb the hill. They use their hands and feet. They are happy and excited. They see the trees, the flowers, the birds, and the swings. + +They are almost at the top of the hill. They see a can on the ground. It is shiny and round. It has a picture of a fish on it. + +"Look!" Tim says. "It is tuna! I love tuna! It is nice and yummy!" + +He picks up the can. He tries to open it. He pulls the ring on the can. But the can is old and rusty. It breaks. The tuna spills out. It smells bad. It is rotten. + +"Yuck!" Sam says. "That is not nice tuna! That is bad tuna! Throw it away!" + +But Tim does not listen. He likes tuna. He wants to eat it. He puts some tuna in his mouth. He chews it. He makes a face. He feels sick. He spits out the tuna. He cries. + +"Help!" Tim says. "The tuna hurts my tummy! I want to go home!" + +Sam tries to help Tim. He holds his hand. He says, "Don't worry. I will take you home. We will tell your mom. She will make you feel better." + +But it is too late. Tim is too sick. He falls down. He does not move. He does not breathe. He is gone. + +Sam is scared. He screams. He runs down the hill. He looks for help. He sees a man. He says, "Please help! My friend ate bad tuna! He is on the hill! He is not alive!" + +The man is shocked. He calls the police. He says, "There is a boy on the hill. He ate bad tuna. He is dead." + +The police come. They see Tim. They see the can. They are sad. They take Tim away. They talk to Sam. They say, "We are sorry. Your friend made a big mistake. He should not have eaten the tuna. He should have listened to you. He should have been careful." + +Sam is sad. He cries. He says, "I miss Tim. He was my friend. He was nice. He liked to play. He liked to climb. He liked tuna. But he did not know. He did not know the tuna was bad. He did not know the tuna would kill him." + +The moral of the story is: Do not eat things that you do not know. Do not eat things that smell bad. Do not eat things that are old. Listen to your friends. Be careful. Or you might die. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a small animal under a tree. It had a long tail and whiskers. It was a rat. + +"Look, a rat!" Ben said. He wanted to touch it. + +"No, Ben, don't!" Lily said. She was scared of rats.

She turns on the stove. + +"Can we watch it cook?" Tim and Sam ask. + +"Sure, but stay away from the fire. It is hot and dangerous. I will tell you when it is ready," Mom says. + +They sit on the floor and watch the pot. They see the water bubble and steam. They smell the potato. They are hungry and excited. + +"Is it done, Mom?" Tim and Sam ask. + +"Yes, it is. Let me drain it and mash it. Then we can eat it with butter and cheese," Mom says. + +She drains the pot and mashes the potato.

Do you like my car?" he asks. + +"Yes, we do!" Ben says. "Can we ride in it?" + +The man thinks for a moment. He says, "Sure, why not? Hop in. I'll take you for a spin." + +Lily is happy.

They saw a big white dog with a spike on its neck. Sara wanted to pet the dog, but Ben was scared. + +"Can I touch the dog, please?" Sara asked the dog's owner, a nice lady. + +"Sure, you can. His name is Spike. He is very friendly," the lady said. + +Sara reached out her hand to stroke the dog's fur. Spike licked her hand and wagged his tail. Sara smiled and giggled. + +"See, Ben? He is not scary. He is cute. You try too," Sara said to Ben. + +But Ben shook his head. He did not want to touch the dog. He hid behind Sara. + +"No, no, no. I don't like dogs. They are big and loud and they bite," Ben said. + +Sara insisted. She wanted Ben to like Spike too. She pulled Ben by his arm and brought him closer to the dog. + +"Come on, Ben. He won't bite you. He is nice. Look, he likes you. He is giving you a kiss," Sara said as Spike licked Ben's face. + +Ben squealed and pushed the dog away. He ran to his mom, who was sitting on a bench. + +"Mom, mom, help! The dog kissed me. I don't like it. I don't like dogs," Ben cried. + +Sara followed him and tried to calm him down. + +"Ben, don't cry. Spike is a good dog. He just wanted to say hello. He didn't mean to scare you. He is sorry," Sara said. + +But Ben did not listen. He hugged his mom and buried his face in her lap. + +"Maybe next time, Ben. Maybe next time you will like dogs," Sara said. + +She waved goodbye to the lady and Spike and went back to play. She hoped Ben would change his mind someday. She liked dogs. She liked Spike.

They also liked to draw pictures and write letters with their crayons and paper. + +One day, Lily saw a big envelope on the table. It had a stamp and a sticker that said "To Lily and Tom". She was curious and wanted to see what was inside. She grabbed the envelope and tried to open it. + +"Hey, that's our post!" Tom shouted. "Mum said we have to wait for her to open it with us. It's from Grandma and Grandpa. They sent us a surprise!" + +But Lily did not listen. She tore the envelope with her teeth and pulled out a card. It had a picture of a cake and candles and said "Happy Birthday Lily and Tom". Lily smiled and looked for more. + +She tore the card in half and found another envelope inside. It was smaller and had a shiny coin in it. Lily liked shiny things and wanted to keep the coin. She tore the envelope and took out the coin. + +"Stop it, Lily!" Tom cried. "You are ruining our post! That's our birthday money from Grandma and Grandpa. They gave us one each. You are being terrible!" + +But Lily did not care. She put the coin in her pocket and looked for more. She tore the other half of the card and found a photo. It was a photo of Grandma and Grandpa holding a puppy. They looked happy and wrote "We love you Lily and Tom. We have a new friend for you. His name is Spot. We can't wait to see you soon." + +Lily liked puppies and wanted to see Spot. She tore the photo in four pieces and threw them on the floor. + +"Enough, Lily!" Tom yelled. "You are breaking everything! You are making a mess! You are hurting Grandma and Grandpa's feelings! You are being very, very terrible!" + +But Lily did not hear him. She was too busy tearing the last piece of paper. It was a sticker that said "We miss you Lily and Tom. You are our sweethearts. Please be good and have fun." + +Lily tore the sticker and stuck it on her nose. She laughed and said "I am good and I have fun. I like to tear post. It is fun." + +Tom was very sad and very angry.

They are friends again and they follow the law. Tom's mom is proud of him and she gives him a hug. +Tom and Lily were twins who loved to play outside. One day, they saw a big field with many sheep. They ran to the fence and looked at the sheep. The sheep were white and fluffy and had bells around their necks. + +"Hello, sheep!" Tom said. "Can we pet you?" + +"Baa, baa," the sheep said. "We are friendly, but be careful. Do not go inside the fence. The farmer does not like it." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They reached out their hands and touched the sheep's wool. It was soft and warm. They smiled and laughed. + +Then, they saw something shiny on the ground. It was a red apple. It looked delicious. + +"Look, Lily, an apple!" Tom said. "Let's share it." + +"OK, Tom," Lily said. "But we have to wash it first. It might be dirty." + +They ran to a nearby stream and washed the apple. Then, they took a big bite. It was sweet and juicy. They chewed and chewed. + +But they did not notice that the apple had a worm inside. The worm was brown and slimy and had teeth. It was angry and hungry. + +"Ouch!" Tom and Lily cried. "Something bit us!" + +They spit out the apple and saw the worm. It was wriggling and hissing. They were scared and disgusted. + +"Yuck, a worm!" Tom said. "How did it get in the apple?" + +"Baa, baa," the sheep said. "That apple was rotten. The farmer threw it away. You should not eat things that you find on the ground. They might be bad for you." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They apologized to the sheep and the worm. They learned their lesson. + +"Thank you, sheep," Tom said. "You are wise and kind. We will not eat things that we find on the ground again. We will only eat things that our mom and dad give us." + +"Baa, baa," the sheep said. "You are welcome, Tom and Lily. You are brave and honest. We are glad that you are OK. Come and visit us again, but remember to stay outside the fence." + +Tom and Lily hugged the sheep and said goodbye. They ran back to their mom and dad and told them what happened. They were happy and grateful. They never ate rotten apples again. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to explore.

Ben asked, pointing to a yellow shape. "It says east. Is that a place?" + +Lila shrugged. She did not know. She wondered what east was like. Maybe it had different animals and plants and people. + +"Let's go there," Ben said. "Maybe we can find something delicious to eat." + +They put on their hats and coats and took the map. They walked out of the door and turned right. They thought that was east. They walked and walked until they saw a big park. They saw swings and slides and a pond. They also saw a man with a cart. He had ice cream and cookies and candy. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lila said. "That looks delicious. Can we have some, please?" + +The man smiled and nodded. He gave them each a cone of ice cream and a cookie. They thanked him and sat on a bench. They licked and bit and enjoyed their treats. + +"This is the best east ever," Ben said. + +Lila agreed.

He wanted to see the animals. He went to his room and slammed the door. He lay on his bed and closed his eyes. He hoped he would fall asleep and dream of the zoo. + +But he did not dream of the zoo. He had a nightmare. He dreamed that he was at the zoo, but all the animals were dirty and scary. They had big teeth and claws and they roared and growled at him. They chased him and tried to bite him. He ran and ran, but he could not find his mom and dad. He was alone and afraid. + +He woke up with a scream. He was sweating and shaking.

She picks up the things and puts them back in the bag. She takes the teddy bear. + +"This is not your bag. This is Grandma's bag. She is coming to visit us. She will be sad if her things are ruined," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben feel bad. They love Grandma. They do not want to make her sad. + +"Can we say sorry to Grandma?" Lily says. + +"Can we give her the teddy bear?" Ben says. + +Mom smiles. She hugs Lily and Ben. + +"Of course you can. Grandma will forgive you. She loves you. And she loves the teddy bear.

Sometimes, they pretended to be explorers or pirates or fairies near the fireplace. + +One day, their mom told them to be careful and not go too close to the fireplace. She said it was very hot and could hurt them. She went to the kitchen to make some cookies. Tom and Anna nodded, but they did not listen. They wanted to see the fire better and touch the wood and the stones. + +"Look, Anna, this wood is so smooth and shiny," Tom said, picking up a log. "I wonder what it feels like to burn." + +"Don't be silly, Tom, you can't burn wood. It's too hard," Anna said, grabbing a stone. "But this stone is so pretty and sparkly. I want to keep it." + +They both moved closer to the fireplace, holding their things. They did not see the sparks that flew out of the fire. They did not hear their mom calling them from the kitchen. They did not smell the smoke that filled the room. + +Suddenly, Tom tripped over a toy and fell into the fireplace. He dropped the log and it caught fire. He screamed and tried to get out, but he was too clumsy. He burned his hands and his face and his clothes. Anna dropped the stone and ran to help him, but she was too late.

You can't catch a big fish with that," Ben said to Sam. + +"Your worm is too fat. You can't catch a big fish with that," Sam said to Ben. + +They pulled and pushed each other, trying to get the better rod and worm. Their dad saw them and said, "Stop, boys, stop. You don't need to fight. You can catch a big fish with any rod and worm, if you are patient and quiet. The fish can hear you and they will swim away. Why don't you try to work together and help each other?" + +Ben and Sam felt sorry. They said sorry to each other and to their dad. They decided to work together and help each other.

Then they measured their towers with a ruler. Lily's tower was 12 inches and Max's tower was 11 inches. + +"I win, I win!" Lily shouted. She jumped up and down and clapped her hands. + +"That's not fair!" Max said. He was angry and sad. He pushed Lily's tower and made it fall down. The blocks crashed and scattered on the floor. + +"Hey, that's mean!" Lily said. She was shocked and hurt. She pushed Max's tower and made it fall down too. The blocks crashed and scattered on the floor. + +They both started to cry. They looked at each other and felt sorry. They said sorry and hugged each other. + +"Let's play something else," Lily said.

It made a loud noise and popped. Poppy was scared and sad. He had broken the balloon. He did not know what to do. + +"Poppy, what did you do?" his mom asked. She came to the yard and saw the balloon pieces. She was not angry, but she was worried. She hugged Poppy and said, "It's okay, Poppy. You did not know. The balloon was not a toy. It was for a party. But we have more balloons. And we have your ball. Do you want to play with your ball?" + +Poppy nodded and wagged his tail. He was sorry for the balloon, but he was glad his mom was not mad.

You are already famous to me, because you are my sons and I love you." + +Tim and Sam smiled and said, "We love you too, mom."
