That's why I'm packing them!". + +Tom and Dan had a wonderful day exploring. They learned a lot about minerals and even found a few interesting ones! After their adventure was over, Tom put the minerals back where he found them. + +The moral of the story is that sometimes it is important to put things back where they came from once you are done exploring.

It waved to a bird and asked, "Can you help me to get polished?" + +The bird was surprised but it said, "Yes! I can help you. Don't worry." + +So the bird flew over the land and began to polish it.

He took a running start, but his mom saw him and shouted. She frowned and said, “Alex, don’t jump in the puddle. It’s not useful!†+ +Little Alex looked sadly at the puddle and asked his mom, “Why not?†+ +“Because,†she replied, “it will make you wet and cold. You don’t want to be wet, do you?†+ +Alex shook his head. His mom smiled and said, “Let’s find something else useful to do instead.†+ +Alex smiled again. Together, they walked away from the puddle and found something to do.

I want to play!" + +Miss Jenkins laughed and said, "Oh Isabella, you are so naughty at times. But that's okay, it's part of being a kid. But remember, sometimes you have to listen too." Then, Isabella finally joined in with everyone else and applaude for Miss Jenkins. +Once upon a time, there lived a humble pony.

Frog smiled and said, “Maybe I can use this fork to help me!†+ +Frog grabbed the fork and tried to use it to push himself across the pond. But instead of pushing him forward, the fork just made him move in reverse! + +He tried again, and again, but nothing changed. “Hmm, this isn’t working,†he said in a sad voice. + +Suddenly, he heard a voice coming from the big tree. + +“Bounce higher!†said the voice. Frog looked up, and saw a bird sitting high in the tree. + +The bird said, “If you bounce higher, you’ll be able to get over to the other side.†+ +Frog smiled, hopped into the air and sailed across the pond! When he landed, he looked back and thanked the bird for the idea. Then he hopped away to explore. +Once there was a boy who had a favorite shirt to dress in. It was his favorite color, blue.

That way you can learn and move onâ€. + +Zoe nodded, hugged her mum again and said, “I forgive myselfâ€. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Daisy. Daisy was 3 years old and loved to explore. + +One day Daisy was walking in the park and spotted something shiny in the dirt. She bent down and picked up a zipper. She said to the zipper, "What are you doing down there?" The zipper didn't answer, but Daisy decided to take it home with her. + +Once Daisy got home she began to explore the zipper. She tugged on the sides and the zipper began to zip up and down. She found two sides and one was dry and the other was wet. + +Daisy was excited and called her mom to show her the zipper. She ran to her mom and said, "Look at what I found Mommy." Her mom smiled and said, "It looks like the zipper is a fun toy. Let's practice zipping it up and down." + +So Daisy and her mom practiced zipping the zipper up and down and Daisy learned an important lesson. She learned that sometimes things can be discovered in the most unexpected places! +Once upon a time, there lived a naughty little monkey in a jungle. He was always getting up to mischief and causing trouble for the other animals. He liked things to be done his way and didn't like taking any sort of advice from anyone else. + +One day he was playing in the jungle when he saw a small bird on a tree branch. He decided to play a trick on the bird and quickly jumped up to grab it. With one swift move, he quickly cut off the branch with his teeth and watched as the bird tumbled to the ground. + +The bird was scared, but before it could fly away the monkey quickly hopped down and picked it up. The bird thanked the naughty monkey for not eating it and went on its merry way. + +The monkey felt guilty. He knew he shouldn't have been so mean and should have just let the bird be. He learnt his lesson and decided that he would never cause any form of harm to anyone else again. + +From that day onwards, the monkey became kind and considerate towards the animals of the jungle. He soon became everyone's friend and everyone was content in the jungle. + +Moral of the Story: Being kind and considerate is always better than being mean and nasty. +Teddy and his brother Timmy were playing in their backyard. Teddy saw a gun and said, "What is that Timmy?" + +Timmy replied, "It's a gun Teddy. It's very dangerous, so don't touch it." + +Teddy was sad and asked, "Why can't I play with it?" + +Timmy said, "That's selfish, Teddy. We have to shut the gun away and keep it safe." + +So they locked the gun away in their shed. Teddy and Timmy ran back to their backyard and laughed and played together. They knew that keeping the gun shut away was the right thing to do. +Once upon a time, there was a small boy who was very selfish. He never wanted to share anything with his friends, not even his toy car. Every day after school, the boy and his friends would go to the dark forest and explore. + +One day, the boy decided to get to the end of the forest first before anyone else. So, he ran as fast as he could, leaving his friends behind. He laughed, thinking he was going to be the first one to finish. + +But as he came close to the end of the forest, he got knocked down by a big tree branch and he couldn't get up! The sun was setting, and he was all alone in the dark forest. He screamed, but no one was there to help him. + +Finally, after hours of screaming, the boy's friends found him and carried him home. He never got to finish first, and learned the hard way that being selfish was not a good thing. +Once there was a small boy called Tom. Tom was very obedient; he did what his mum told him every day. + +One day, Tom went for a walk in the park. He saw a shiny silver coin on the ground. He said, "Wow, look at the silver! I'm going to pick it up." + +Just then, his mum called him, "Tom! Come here. Stop looking at the silver coin." Tom was very obedient, he came over and stood next to his mum. + +His mum pointed to a tree in the park and said, "Tom, can you see that tree? If you are obedient and obediently walk to the tree, I will give you 5 coins!" + +Tom was very excited and he quickly ran to the tree and waited. Sure enough, when his mum came to the tree, she had 5 shiny coins in her hand. + +Tom was very pleased. He thanked his mum and gave her a big hug. She said she was proud of his obedience and that she was sure he would always be obedient! +Mama was in the kitchen, stirring a pot of soup. She was humming a tune and swaying her hips. + +“Mama, why do you suffer?†asked Tony, her three year old son. He was sitting at the kitchen table with his chubby hands folded in his lap. + +Mama paused from her stirring and looked at Tony. “Sometimes I don’t feel well,†she replied with a smile. “But don’t worry about me. I will be just fine.†+ +Tony looked up at the ceiling and wondered why Mama had to suffer. Just then, he had an idea. He told Mama about his idea for how she could feel better. He said, “I can get my blocks and build you something! That would be useful.†+ +Mama smiled and thanked Tony. She said getting his blocks was a wonderful idea. + +Tony ran to his room and grabbed his blocks. He spent the next hour building Mama a special seat that she could sit in when she was feeling sick. He showed Mama his creation and Mama thanked Tony for being so useful. Mama sat in the seat and it made her feel much better. From then on, whenever Mama felt sick, she had Tony’s special seat to make her feel better. +Once upon a time there was a girl called Sue. Sue was only three years old, but she knew she was big enough to have a bath all by herself. + +One day, Sue's mum said, "Sue, it's time to have a bath. Would you like me to show you how to bath on your own?" Sue jumped up and said, "Yes please mum!" + +Sue’s mother opened a bottle of oil, put it in the warm water, and sprinkled some on Sue's head. Sue said, "Mummy, that tickles!" Her mother replied, "That's because the oil will make your hair soft and shiny." + +Sue was embarrassed when she slipped into the water, but when she got out she felt so clean and soft. She gave her mum a big hug and said, "Thank you mummy, I can't wait to bathe on my own again!" +Once upon a time, there was a young boy called Dan. He was three years old. Dan wanted to learn about the world around him, so his mom took him to the library. + +Dans's mom said "Dan, why don't we go to the library and see if there are any books that will help you learn?" + +Dan loved books so he was excited. So they went to the library together. + +When they arrived, Dan couldn't believe his eyes. He had never seen a library before. There were so many books! Dan's mom reminded him that he had to be gentle and use a quiet voice in the library. + +Dan was so excited that he started running around the library. He accidentally knocked over a few books and his mom told him to be more careful. She said "Dan, this library is special and you need to be strong and use gentle hands in here." + +Dan nodded and agreed to try harder. He started to explore all the different books. His mom watched him and reminded him to stay away from the weak books. + +After a few hours, Dan had found a few books he wanted to take home. His mom hugged him and said "Well done Dan, you were very gentle and careful. Let's take these books home now and read them together tonight." + +Dan smiled and held his mom's hand as they left the library. He was happy to have learned something +John had a big log. He wanted to unlock it to see what was inside, but he couldn't find a key. He tried and tried but nothing worked. He felt very frustrated. + +John asked his friend, Sarah, for help. Sarah said, "I know someone who might be able to help us". She took John to meet Bob. Bob told them his house had a big box of keys. + +John and Sarah found the right one and John unlocked the log. Inside was a big surprise! There were lots of toys and sweets. + +John and Sarah were so happy. They thanked Bob for his help and went back home to play with their new presents. +Once there was a girl named Summer. She was three years old and loved to play outside. One day, she went to the park with her mom. + +"Look Summer!" said Summer's mom. She pointed at a big present in the middle of the park. + +"What is it?" asked Summer. + +"It's a present! We're going to cut it open to see what's inside." + +Summer was so excited that she ran over to the present. She and her mom used a pair of scissors to carefully cut into the flexible wrapping paper. Finally they opened the box. + +Inside the box was a beautiful new bike. Summer was so happy she started to jump up and down. + +"Thank you mommy!" said Summer. + +"You're more than welcome," said her mom. "Now let's go for a ride!" + +Summer hopped on her bike and rode around the park with her mom. It was the best day ever! +Once upon a time there was a pink parrot who lived in the jungle. Every day he would fly around and explore. One day, he saw a small hole in the ground which he thought he would poke with his beak. + +So he did. Suddenly, the ground opened up and out came a monster! It was huge and scary looking. It roared and the parrot was so scared that he quickly flew away. + +The monster chased after him. The parrot flew as fast as he could but the monster kept getting closer and closer. He was too tired to keep flying, so he hid behind a tree. + +The monster hopped from tree to tree and soon he spotted the parrot. He poked his eyes with his sharp claws. +The parrot was crying and soon he passed out. + +When he woke up, he felt strange -- nothing was as it should be. He realized his wings were gone and he could never fly again. He was upset but he knew that this was not a normal ending. +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Alex who loved to whistle. Everywhere he went, he whistled a happy tune. One day, he heard a funny noise out the window. It sounded like a whistle but different. + +He went outside and saw a clown standing in his front yard. The clown had a whistle in his hand and he was blowing it. Alex was excited to see the clown and wanted to know what else he could do. + +The clown said, “If I show you something useful, can you whistle it back?†Alex agreed, so the clown taught him how to whistle two notes together. Alex tried it and was very proud of himself. + +The clown smiled and said, “That was really good! I know a lot of useful tricks, if you’re willing to try them.†+ +Alex was excited and couldn’t wait to learn more but he said goodbye to the clown. He kept whistling his two-note tune as he walked away, to remember what the clown had taught him. Alex thought he’d never see the clown again, but he was wrong. + +Every day, the same clown returned and taught him more useful tricks. He even taught Alex how to juggle. Alex was amazed and soon became the best whistling and juggling clown around. And it all started with a simple whistle. +One day, there was a little girl who wanted to take a big step. She put on her shoes and marched right out the door. She decided to go to the store to get a radish. When she arrived at the store, the radish was big and tough. She didn't know how to pick it! + +The storekeeper saw her, so he came over and showed her how to do it. He showed her how to squeeze the radish gently, and when it was soft, it was ready to eat. The little girl thanked the storekeeper and took two radishes home. + +When she got home, she washed them and cut them into pieces. Then, she roasted them in the oven with some butter and herbs. After a few minutes, the radishes were ready! They were crunchy and delicious. + +The little girl smiled and thought, 'I'm so glad I took a big step today!' +Once upon a time there was a dad, a mom and a baby. They wanted to have an adventure. They decided to go to the beach. When they arrived, the sun was shining so warmly. The baby smiled and ran to the soft, wet sand. Dad and mom watched with great joy as the baby built sandcastles and collected bright shells. + +But then the baby saw something sparkling in the sand. He reached out to grab it. It was too hot! The baby screamed and cried as he saw his little hand turn red. He had been burned by the warm sand! Dad and mom quickly tried to cool it by putting wet sand on it. + +The baby's parents should have been more careful. They should have remembered that the sand can shine and be very warm even if the sun isn't out. This is an important lesson for everyone. Being careful and paying attention to details can help keep us safe. +Once upon a time there was a 3 year old girl, who was playing in her garden. She saw a beautiful veil, lying in the grass, and she had the idea to collect it. She stopped to take a good look at the veil, and then she took it in her little hands. + +The 3 year old girl was feeling so happy and comfortable with her new find. She was running around through the garden, and she saw her mother. "Look Mommy!", shouted the girl and showed the veil with a smile on her face. + +"Oh, that looks beautiful!", said the girl's mother. She asked the girl, "Would you like to wear it and look like a princess?". The girl was so excited about the idea and nodded her head. + +The girl's mother put the veil on her little daughter's head and it felt so comfortable and gentle. The girl was looking in the mirror and said, "I am so beautiful". + +The girl was so excited about her beautiful veil and she couldn't wait to show it to her friends. She was running around with the veil in her hands, and she was shining like a real princess. +Once upon a time there was a girl called Ali. She liked to play and explore and one day she asked her mom if she could go for a walk. + +Her mom said yes and so Ali set off. Ali spotted a big palace at the end of the street and began to walk towards it. When she reached the palace, she asked what it was. + +The guard said that it was a palace and it was the home of the King and Queen. Ali was so excited and asked the guard if she could go inside. The guard said no, but he offered to give her a tour of the palace garden. + +Ali gladly accepted. As they walked around, she spotted some strange looking fruits on the trees. The guard explained that they were called sour fruits and they tasted really good. + +Ali smiled and asked if she could have some. The guard said yes and gave her some to take home. Ali thanked him, said goodbye and happily started to make her way back home. + +She munched on the sour fruits on her way, enjoying the delicious taste and imagining what life must be like in a palace. +Jim and his mom were out at the park. Jim wanted to play on the swings, so he asked his mom. She said yes. + +Jim was so excited. He ran over to the swing and grabbed the rubber chains. Then he started to swing. + +He went so high! But then, he started to get scared. He was feeling very fearful. + +Jim shouted to his mom, "Mom, I'm scared up here! Please order me down!" + +His mom smiled and said, "Be brave, Jim. You can do it. Come on down when you're ready." + +So Jim took a big breath and slowly let go of the rubber chains. He felt a little braver as his feet reached the ground. He was so proud of himself! +One morning, a man and a little boy went for a walk in the countryside. It was sunny, and the little boy wanted to explore. They soon came upon an old mill. + +"Look, Dad! A mill!", said the little boy. + +"Yes, it's a very old mill. It's been here for many years", said the man. + +So the little boy ran inside and explored. Inside he found a bald man. He looked very old. + +"Who are you?", asked the little boy. + +"I am the miller", said the bald man. + +The miller was very unkind. He said to the little boy, "You have to stay here, you can't leave." + +The little boy began to cry, so the man ran into the mill and tried to rescue him. But the miller was too strong. He kept the little boy and the man never saw him again. + +The man went home very sad, and never went back to the mill again. +Once upon a time there was a mommy bear and a baby bear. Mommy bear was very dependable, always working hard all day to take care of the little bear. One day, baby bear asked, "Mommy, can we do something fun?" + +Mommy bear thought and said, "I know! Why don't we act like we are very fancy and have a little luxury? We can pretend we are going on a special picnic!" + +So they acted like they had a lot of money and went on a special picnic. They got a big picnic blanket and put it on the grass. Mommy bear brought a tiny blanket, special paper plates and some juice in pretty glasses. + +They smiled, laughed and ate the food just like it was a fancy place.

I love you!" and gave Mommy bear a big bear hug. +Once upon a time there lived a little bear called Bob. Every day, Bob would promise his mum that he would help her clean their house. But he never seemed to do it. One day Bob's mum had had enough. She told Bob he had to help with the housework that day or else he wouldn't get ice-cream. + +At first, Bob didn't want to be rough with the broom, but with gentle words and a smile, his mum persuaded him to help. As he started to sweep and mop, Bob made a promise that he would always help out from now on no matter what. + +Bob was surprised to see how happy and relieved his mum was when she saw how hard he had been working. To reward him for keeping his promise, she showed him a jar of honey she had hidden away for a special occasion. Bob couldn't believe his luck - a reward for keeping his promise! From then on, Bob kept his promise every day and was never rough again. +Once upon a time, in a very dry season, there was a family of four. There was Papa, Mama, Baby and their dog, Max. Every week, Papa and Mama would take baby to the park to play. + +One week, Baby was so eager to go outside that it ran ahead of Papa and Mama. Before they knew it, Baby had approached a large scale. “What is this Papa?†Baby asked. + +Papa smiled. “It’s a scale, Baby. We can weigh things on it. I want to see how much you weigh!†+ +And so, Papa put Baby on the scale, and they were both very surprised at the number that the scale showed. + +Mama was so proud of Baby. “Look how much you’ve grown since the last dry season!†she said. + +Baby was happy and smiled. It was a great day in the park. +Once there was a clown named Bob. Bob was a very polite clown and he was liked by everyone. One day, Bob decided to kneel down. He knelt in the middle of a park and saw all the children who were playing. As he knelt all the children came running over to him. + +The children were thrilled to see a clown and they asked him to put on a show. Bob was happy to do so and he began to perform tricks and make them laugh. After a few minutes, Bob bowed down and thanked all the children for inviting him. + +The children were so pleased with Bob's performance and thanked him for coming to play. Bob thanked them back and said goodbye. As he left all the children waved and shouted goodbye, their polite smiles lighting up the park. Bob was glad that he had knelt and put on a show for the children. He knew it was something that made them happy. +Once upon a time, there was a lazy bear named Benny. He loved lounging around in the park all day, eating his favorite snack - banana. + +One day while he was laying in the park, he saw a 3 year old girl walking by with her mom. She noticed Benny and said to her mom, “Look Mommy! A bear!†+ +The mom said, “Yes, that is a bear. We should give him a banana. It’s his favorite snack.†+ +The little girl ran over to Benny with a banana in her hand. She said, “Hi bear! Here is a banana for you!†+ +Benny smiled gratefully and took the banana. He said, “Thank you! I love bananas.†+ +The little girl and her mom smiled and waved goodbye to Benny as they went on their way. Benny stayed in the park, lazily snacking on his banana. +The little girl walked into the wild pitch. It was dark, and she was a bit scared. + +Suddenly, she heard a noise. She froze and started to shake slightly. + +Then, a voice behind her said, ‘It’s ok, I won’t scare you!’ + +The little girl turned around and saw a wolf. She screamed and ran away from it. + +The wolf said, ‘Wait, I just wanted to say hi! I’m not wild, I won’t scare you!’ + +The little girl stopped and realised the wolf was not scary. She smiled and said, 'Hello! My name is...' +John and his sister Jane were excited to join the competition.

Suddenly, there was nothing left to compete with. + +John and Jane looked at each other in shock. + +"What are we going to do now?" asked Jane. + +"I don't know. All our equipment is too rotten to be competitive," said John, sadly. + +Just then, their mom came over and said, "It doesn't matter what you compete with, as long as you do your best!" John and Jane smiled, and the competition began. They had fun… and this time, their equipment didn't rot away! +Once there was an old lady. She liked to swim every day in the lake. One day, when she was swimming, she saw a fish hiding behind a rock underwater. She asked the fish "What are you doing?" The fish replied, "I'm hiding from the old fish that wants to eat me". + +The old lady said, "Don't worry, the old fish won't be able to catch you in this spot.

And every morning I'll come say hello to you!" + +The old lady smiled and said, "I'll look forward to that!" +Jimmy was a 3 year old boy who loved jam. He often thought about jam when he was playing.

He was so scared. + +"Don't be scared," said Dad, as he came up and saw what had happened. "We can just let the spider out the window, so it can go outside." + +Jimmy nodded, but he couldn't stop thinking that the spider was scary. He wanted to touch it, but he was too scared. In the end, Dad had to take the jam jar and the spider out of the house. + +Jimmy was sad because he wanted to eat the jam and play with the spider. He realised that he should always be careful what he thinks about, because sometimes things don't turn out the way you expect. +Once upon a time there were two friends. Sally and Jack.

When it was time to take off, Pete flew high into the sky without checking if Sam was following him. Sam shouted to Pete, "Why are you behaving so careless? Wait for me!" + +But Pete kept flying and soon, he was so far away he couldn't hear Sam. So Sam had to fly alone. + +But still, every day, Sam would fly and hope to find his careless friend again. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy who liked to look at the stars in the night sky. He especially liked one particular star that he could see from his bedroom window. + +One night he asked his mum, "Can I climb up to the star?" His mum said, "I'm sorry, but it's too far away".

Lilly wanted to find a present for her best friend's birthday, so she went to the market. + +At the market, Lilly found a beautiful sack. It was light blue with a white pattern. She knew it would be perfect for her friend. + +But, when Lilly went to buy the sack, an old lady was there. The old lady held a palm in her hand. She said to Lilly, "This is a bitter palm. I am very poor and need to sell this, but no-one wants it. Can you help me and buy it?" + +Lilly felt a bit sad for the old lady and so she agreed to buy the palm from her. She paid her the same amount it cost to buy her friend's present. + +When Lilly arrived home, her friend was so happy she started to cry. She said, "You even gave up something for me. That's the best friendship gift ever." + +This experience helped Lilly to understand that true friendship is about sacrifice. Sometimes it's better to give up something for a friend than get something for yourself. +"Where are we going, daddy?" asked the little three year old girl. + +"We are going to have a picnic," said the dad. + +"Yay!" the girl cheered. + +Dad drove the car until they reached the picnic spot.

Every day the owner tidied up the house and the cat napped in the sunshine. The two were very happy together. +Once upon a time there were two friends who were walking in the forest. They came across a big, white log that was lying on the ground. They were both curious and decided to investigate the log. + +Suddenly they heard a whisper coming from inside the log. It was faint, but they could hear it. + +The two kids got closer to the log and talked to each other in hushed tones. + +"Should we open it?" One of them asked. + +The other one nodded his head and said, "Let's do it!" + +They slowly opened the log, and out of it came a tiny white bunny. The bunny had been sleeping inside the log.

They were now inseparable; they were the best of friends. +Once upon a time there was a rich man who owned a beautiful lamp. The lamp was special because it glowed brightly and lit up the dark. + +The rich man loved his lamp so much that he kept it a secret from everyone, and never let anyone see it. One night, the rich man decided to cover the lamp with a cloth so that others couldn't see its glow. + +The next day, the poor people in the village noticed how dark it was and wondered where the beautiful lamp had gone. When the rich man heard about this he felt so guilt and shame. + +He knew their sorrow was caused by his selfishness and greed.

How funny is that?" + +Mom saw the veil and recognized it. She also saw Anna running behind Tom, with tears in her eyes. She said, "Tom, stop that. That's not funny. That's very mean. That veil is very special. It belonged to your grandma, who passed away last year. She wore it on her wedding day, and she gave it to Anna as a gift. She loved Anna very much, and so do I. How could you do such a thing?" + +Tom realized he had done something wrong. He felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't know. I was just joking. Here, take it back." He handed the veil to Anna, who snatched it and hugged it. + +Anna was still weeping. She said, "You're a bad brother. You hurt my feelings. You hurt grandma's feelings.

They were happy. +Tom and Anna like to make bread with Mom. They help Mom put flour, water, yeast and salt in a big bowl. Mom says, "Now we have to mix the dough and knead it well. Kneading means pushing and pulling the dough with your hands. It makes the dough smooth and stretchy." + +Tom and Anna take turns kneading the dough. They like how it feels in their hands. They make funny shapes and noises with the dough. Mom smiles and says, "You are doing a great job, but don't play too much with the dough. We want it to rise and become big and fluffy. Rising means the dough gets bigger and softer because of the yeast. The yeast is a little thing that lives in the dough and makes bubbles of air." + +Mom puts the dough in a warm place and covers it with a cloth. She says, "We have to wait for an hour for the dough to rise. Then we can shape it into loaves and bake it in the oven. What do you want to do while we wait?" + +Tom says, "I want to play with my cars. I have a red car and a blue car. They are very fast and loud. Vroom, vroom!" Anna says, "I want to play with my dolls. I have a pink doll and a purple doll. They are very pretty and nice. Hello, hello!" + +Mom says, "Okay, you can play with your toys, but be careful and share. Don't fight or break anything. And when I call you, you have to come and help me with the bread. Can you do that?" Tom and Anna nod and say, "Yes, Mom. We can do that." They run to their rooms and start playing. + +Mom watches them and smiles. She hopes the dough will yield a good bread for them to enjoy. She loves her little ones very much. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They find many things in the park. They find leaves, sticks, flowers and rocks. + +One day, they find a big rock. It is amazing. It is shiny and smooth. It has many colors. Lily and Ben want to keep the rock. + +"Look at this rock!" Lily says. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "Can we take it home?" + +They pick up the rock. It is heavy. They carry it together. They walk to the gate of the park. + +But then they see a man. He is wearing a hat and a badge. He is a park ranger. He stops them. + +"Hello, kids," he says. "What do you have there?" + +Lily and Ben show him the rock. They are proud. + +"It is an amazing rock!" they say. "We found it in the park!" + +The park ranger smiles. He is kind. But he is also serious. + +"I'm glad you like the rock," he says. "But you can't take it home. It belongs to the park. It is part of nature. If everyone took rocks from the park, there would be no rocks left for others to enjoy. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They are sad. They love the rock. But they also love the park. They want to share the rock with others. + +"OK," they say. "We will return the rock. Where should we put it?" + +The park ranger points to a spot near a tree. He says, "You can put it there. Thank you for being good kids. You can come back to the park anytime and see the rock again. Maybe you will find other amazing things too." + +Lily and Ben smile. They say, "Thank you, sir. We will come back soon." + +They put the rock back. They wave goodbye to the park ranger. They hold hands. They walk home. They are still friends. They still like to play in the park. They still find many things in the park. But they always return them. They are happy. +Lily liked to grow sunflowers in her garden. She watered them every day and talked to them. She said they were her friends. She gave them names like Sunny, Flora and Leo. + +One day, a big dog came to her garden. He was smelly and hungry. He saw the sunflowers and thought they were food. He ran to them and started to bite them. He broke their stems and tore their petals. + +Lily heard the noise and ran outside. She saw the dog and the sunflowers. She was very sad and angry. She shouted at the dog. "Go away! Go away! You are bad! You hurt my friends! I value my sunflowers! They are not for you!" + +The dog was scared of Lily. He dropped the sunflowers and ran away. He did not come back. Lily picked up the sunflowers and hugged them. She cried and said sorry to them. She tried to fix them, but they were too damaged. + +She went to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said she was sorry too. She said they could plant new sunflowers and take care of them. She said they would grow again and be beautiful. She said Lily was a good gardener and a good friend. She said she valued Lily very much. Lily smiled and said she valued her mom too. They went to the garden and planted new sunflowers. They hoped they would grow fast and be happy. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They pretend they are drivers and go on adventures. Sometimes their cars break down and they need to fix them. They have a box of tools and parts that they use as a garage. + +One day, Anna's car makes a loud noise and stops moving. She tries to push it, but it does not work. She is sad and asks Ben for help. + +"Ben, can you be my mechanic and fix my car?" she says. + +"Sure, Anna, I can try. Let me see what is wrong with it." Ben says. He takes the car and looks at it. He opens the hood and sees a broken wire. He needs a new wire to replace it. + +"Anna, I need a new wire. Do you have one in your garage?" he asks. + +Anna looks in her box of tools and parts. She does not see a wire. She only has screws, nuts, bolts, and other things. She shakes her head. + +"No, Ben, I don't have a wire. What can we do?" she says. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He sees a phone on the table. He picks it up and pretends to call someone. + +"Hello, this is Ben, the mechanic. I need to order a new wire for Anna's car. Can you send it to me right away?" he says. + +He waits for a second and then says, "Thank you, bye." He hangs up the phone and smiles. + +"Anna, I ordered a new wire. It will be here soon. Don't worry, your car will be fixed." he says. + +Anna is happy. She hugs Ben and says, "Thank you, Ben, you are a good mechanic. You are my friend." + +Ben hugs her back and says, "You are welcome, Anna. You are my friend too. Fixing cars is fun, but sometimes it is difficult. We need to be patient and creative." + +They wait for the new wire to arrive and then fix Anna's car. They are proud of their work and continue to play with their toy cars. They have more adventures and fun. They are happy. +Lily likes ice cream very much. She likes to eat it on a cone. She likes to lick the cone and make it smaller and smaller. She likes all the colors of ice cream: pink, white, brown, yellow, green. She likes to mix them and make new colors. + +One day, Lily goes to the park with her mom. She sees a big truck with a picture of ice cream on it. She runs to the truck and points to the ice cream. She wants to have some. Her mom nods and smiles. She gives the man some money and he gives her a cone with two scoops of ice cream: one pink and one brown. Lily is very happy. She says thank you and takes the cone. + +She walks to a bench and sits down. She starts to lick the cone. She thinks it is very yummy and pretty. She likes how the pink and brown look together. She licks and licks and licks. She does not see the bird that is flying above her. The bird sees the cone and thinks it is food. It swoops down and grabs the cone with its beak. Lily feels a tug and looks up. She sees the bird flying away with her cone. She is very sad. She cries and cries and cries. + +Her mom hears her cry and runs to her. She sees what happened and hugs her. She says she is sorry and that she will get her another cone. She takes her back to the truck and asks the man for another cone. The man nods and smiles. He says he is sorry too and that he will give her a bigger cone with three scoops of ice cream: one pink, one brown, and one yellow. He says it is a rainbow cone and that it is very pretty. He gives her the cone and does not take any money. He says it is a gift. + +Lily stops crying and looks at the cone. She sees the three colors and thinks it is very pretty. She says thank you and takes the cone. She walks to another bench and sits down. She starts to lick the cone. She thinks it is very yummy and pretty. She likes how the pink, brown, and yellow look together. She licks and licks and licks. She does not see the dog that is running towards her. The dog sees the cone and thinks it is food. It jumps up and snatches the cone with its mouth. Lily feels a bite and looks down. She sees the dog running away with her cone. She is very sad. She cries and cries and cries. + +The end. +Anna and Ben love to visit their grandma on the farm. They like to help her with the animals and the plants. One day, grandma asks them to gather some eggs from the chicken coop. Anna and Ben are enthusiastic. They run to the coop and look for the eggs. + +They find some eggs under the hens and in the nests. They put them gently in a basket. They are careful not to break them. They are happy to see the chickens cluck and peck. They say hello to them and thank them for the eggs. + +As they are leaving the coop, they hear a loud bleat. They turn around and see a goat. The goat is curious and friendly. He wants to see what is in the basket. He jumps over the fence and follows Anna and Ben. He tries to sniff the eggs and nibble the basket. + +Anna and Ben laugh and run away from the goat. They don't want him to eat the eggs. They call for grandma to help them. Grandma comes and sees the goat. She smiles and shakes her head. She knows the goat is playful and harmless. She takes the basket from Anna and Ben and gives them a hug. She tells them they did a good job gathering the eggs. She also gives the goat a pat and a carrot. She tells him he is a silly goat and he should stay in his pen. + +Anna and Ben are proud and happy. They love grandma and the farm. They love the chickens and the eggs. They even love the goat, even though he is naughty. They can't wait to gather more eggs tomorrow. +Tom and Lily were playing on the shore. They liked to build sand castles and look for shells. But Tom was feeling naughty. He wanted to tease Lily and make her angry. + +He saw Lily's sand castle and ran over to it. He kicked it with his foot and laughed. "Ha ha, your sand castle is gone!" he said. + +Lily was very sad and mad. She had worked hard on her sand castle. She cried and shouted at Tom. "You are mean, Tom! You are a bad brother! Go away!" + +Tom did not care. He thought it was funny. He saw another sand castle and ran to it. He kicked it again and laughed. "Ha ha, another sand castle is gone!" + +But this time, he did not see who made the sand castle. It was a big boy, much bigger than Tom. The big boy was angry. He grabbed Tom by the arm and said. "Hey, you little brat! Why did you ruin my sand castle? I will teach you a lesson!" + +He dragged Tom to the water and threw him in. Tom was scared and wet. He splashed and cried. "Help, help! I can't swim!" + +Lily heard Tom's cry and ran to him. She was still mad at him, but she loved him. She did not want him to drown. She reached out her hand and pulled him out of the water. She hugged him and said. "Are you okay, Tom? Don't be naughty again. Don't tease people. It is not nice." + +Tom was sorry and ashamed. He hugged Lily back and said. "I'm sorry, Lily. You are a good sister. I will not be naughty again. I will not tease people. It is not nice." + +They walked back to the shore and made a new sand castle together. They were happy and friendly. The big boy saw them and smiled. He said. "That's better. Be nice to each other. Have fun." He walked away and made a new sand castle too. +Ben and Mia love to play soccer with their friends. They run and kick the ball and try to score goals. Sometimes they are on the same team, and sometimes they are on different teams. Today, they are on different teams. + +Ben is very good at soccer. He can kick the ball very hard and fast. He scores many goals for his team. Mia is good at soccer too, but she is not as fast as Ben. She tries to stop Ben from scoring, but he is too quick for her. She feels sad and angry. + +"Ben, you are too good!" Mia says. "You score all the time. It is not fair!" + +"Sorry, Mia," Ben says. "I just like to play soccer. It is fun." + +Mia does not think it is fun. She thinks it is boring. She wants to score too. She wants to make her team happy. + +The game is almost over. Ben's team is winning by a lot.

They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. Lily had a red shovel and Ben had a blue one. They were having fun. + +Suddenly, they saw something white and furry in the grass. It was a rabbit! The rabbit had long ears and a fluffy tail. It looked at them with big eyes. + +"Hello, rabbit!" Lily said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The rabbit did not answer. It hopped closer to them and sniffed their shovels. Then it grabbed Lily's red shovel with its teeth and ran away. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Lily shouted. She ran after the rabbit. Ben followed her. + +The rabbit was fast. It ran across the garden and disappeared behind a bush. Lily and Ben reached the bush and looked for the rabbit. But they could not find it. + +"Where did it go?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe it went into a hole," Lily said. + +They looked around and saw a big hole under the bush. It was dark and deep. + +"Maybe the rabbit is in there," Lily said. "Let's go and get my shovel back." + +She walked towards the hole. Ben was not sure. + +"Are you sure, Lily?" he asked. "It looks scary. Maybe there is something bad in there." + +Lily did not listen. She was angry at the rabbit. She wanted her shovel back. + +"Don't be foolish, Ben," she said. "It's just a hole. Come on." + +She crawled into the hole. Ben followed her. He did not want to be left alone. + +They crawled deeper and deeper into the hole. It was dark and cold. They could not see anything. + +"Rabbit, where are you?" Lily called. "Give me back my shovel!" + +There was no answer. Only silence. + +They crawled some more. Then they saw a light. It was a small lamp. It was hanging from the ceiling of the hole. + +They crawled towards the lamp. They hoped to find the rabbit there. + +But when they reached the lamp, they saw something else. It was not the rabbit. It was a man. He was wearing a funny hat and a coat. He had a big smile on his face. + +"Hello, children," he said. "Welcome to my home. I'm the Mad Hatter. And this is my tea party." + +He pointed to a table. There were cups and plates and cakes on the table. There were also three chairs. One was empty. The other two had a mouse and a cat sitting on them. The mouse was asleep. The cat was grinning. + +"Would you like some tea?" the Mad Hatter asked. "Or some cake? Or some riddles?" + +Lily and Ben were confused. They did not know what to say. They did not know where they were. They did not know who the Mad Hatter was. They did not know why he had a lamp and a tea party in a hole. They did not know what happened to the rabbit. + +They looked at each other. They were scared. They wished they had never followed the rabbit. They wished they had never crawled into the hole. They wished they had stayed in the garden. + +They realized they had been foolish. +Sara loved to swing on the big tree in her backyard. She liked to pretend she was a bird or a fairy or a superhero. She had many costumes that she wore when she played. She had a yellow dress with wings, a red cape with a mask, and a blue suit with a star. + +One day, she wanted to show her friend Tom her costumes and her swing. She invited him to come over after school. She was very excited and happy. She ran to her room and picked her favorite costume: the yellow dress with wings. She put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled and said, "I am a beautiful fairy!" + +She ran downstairs and waited for Tom. She saw him walking up the driveway. He had a big backpack and a troubled look on his face. She waved and said, "Hi, Tom! Come and play with me!" + +Tom said, "Hi, Sara. I have something to tell you." He sounded sad and scared. + +Sara said, "What is it, Tom? Is something wrong?" + +Tom said, "Yes, Sara. Something is very wrong. I have to move away. My dad got a new job in another city. We are leaving tomorrow. I came to say goodbye." + +Sara felt a sharp pain in her chest. She felt like crying. She said, "No, Tom. You can't go. You are my best friend. We have so much fun together. We can swing and dress up and pretend. Please don't go." + +Tom said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I don't want to go either. But I have to. My mom and dad said so. I will miss you a lot. You are my best friend too. Can I give you a hug?" + +Sara nodded and ran to Tom. They hugged each other tightly. They felt tears in their eyes. They said, "I love you, friend." + +They let go of each other and looked at the big tree. They saw the swing hanging from a branch. They decided to swing one last time. They took turns pushing each other. They laughed and smiled and forgot their sadness for a moment. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They felt free and happy. + +They swung until it was time for Tom to go. They said goodbye and promised to write and call each other. They hugged again and walked away. Sara watched Tom disappear around the corner. She felt a lump in her throat. She looked at her yellow dress with wings. She felt like a fairy who had lost her magic. She wished she could fly away with Tom. She wished he could stay with her. She wished things could be different. She wished. +Here is one possible story, but there are many other ways to write it. + +Tom and Amy were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big truck and Amy had a doll. Tom wanted to play with Amy's doll, but Amy said no. + +"Please, Amy, let me see your doll. It has a pretty dress and long hair," Tom said. + +"No, Tom, this is my doll. You have your truck. Go away," Amy said. + +Tom was angry. He tried to grab the doll from Amy, but Amy held it tight. They started to pull and push. Amy screamed and Tom shouted. + +"Stop it, you two! You are making too much noise!" their mom said from the kitchen. She was busy making dinner and did not want to deal with their fight. + +But Tom and Amy did not listen. They ignored their mom and kept fighting. They did not see the lamp on the table next to them. They bumped into the table and the lamp fell down. It hit the floor and broke into pieces. The pieces flew everywhere. Some of them hit the ceiling and made holes. Some of them hit Tom and Amy and made cuts. + +Tom and Amy stopped fighting. They looked at the mess they made. They saw the broken lamp, the holes in the ceiling, and the blood on their skin. They felt pain and fear. They started to cry. + +Their mom heard their cries and ran to the living room. She saw the disaster and was shocked and angry. She yelled at Tom and Amy for being naughty and careless. She took them to the bathroom and cleaned their wounds. She put thick bandages on them and told them to go to their rooms. She said they would not get any dinner or dessert. She said they would have to pay for the lamp and the ceiling with their allowance. + +Tom and Amy felt sorry and ashamed. They wished they had listened to their mom and shared their toys. They learned their lesson the hard way. They had a bad ending. +Sara and Ben were playing with their crayons. They liked to draw on the big paper on the floor. Sara had many colors, but Ben only had one. It was white. + +"Can I have some of your colors, Sara?" Ben asked. + +"No, they are mine. You have white, that is enough," Sara said. + +"But white is boring. It does not show on the paper. I want to draw a sun and a flower and a bird," Ben said. + +Sara did not listen. She kept drawing with her colors. She made a rainbow and a house and a cat. Ben felt sad. He looked around. He saw the wall. It was white too. He had an idea. He took his white crayon and started to draw on the wall. He made a big sun and a big flower and a big bird. He smiled. He liked his drawing. + +But then he heard a voice. It was Mom. She came into the room. She saw the wall. She saw Ben with the white crayon. She was angry. + +"Ben, what did you do? You drew on the wall! That is bad. You are not allowed to do that. You have to say sorry and help me clean it," Mom said. + +Ben felt guilty. He knew he did something wrong. He dropped the white crayon. He looked at Sara. She looked at him. She felt sorry for him. She knew she was not nice to him. She had an idea. She took her colors and went to the wall. She started to draw next to Ben's drawing. She made a heart and a smiley face and wrote "I love you, Ben". + +Mom saw Sara's drawing. She smiled. She was not angry anymore. She hugged Sara and Ben. + +"I love you too, Sara and Ben. But please, do not draw on the wall again. Use the paper or the board. And share your colors. They are more fun that way," Mom said. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They said sorry to Mom. They helped her clean the wall. They learned their lesson. They played with their crayons again. They used all the colors. They made beautiful drawings. They were happy.

We will move some of your toys to the basement to make space for the crib," Mom says. + +Lily and Max are not sure how they feel about that. They like their toys and their room. They don't want to share it with the baby. + +The next day, Mom and Dad bring the baby home. She is very cute and has a pink hat. Her name is Mia. Lily and Max look at her and smile. They want to touch her and hold her, but Mom says they have to be gentle and quiet. + +That night, Lily and Max go to bed as usual. They hear Mia make some noises in the crib.

I'm going to fall." Mom says, "No, you're not. You're doing great. Just keep pedaling and look ahead. I'm here with you." + +Sara listens to mom. She keeps pedaling and looking ahead. She feels the bike going faster and smoother. She stops wobbling. She balances on the bike. She says, "Mom, I'm doing it. I'm balancing on the bike. I'm so happy." Mom says, "I'm so proud of you. You're amazing. You're a big girl now." + +Ben watches Sara. He claps his hands. He says, "Wow, Sara. You're so good. You're so brave. I want to try too." Mom says, "OK, Ben. It's your turn.

Do not make too much noise." + +Lily and Ben say, "Okay, Mom. We will. We love you, Mom." + +Mom says, "I love you, too, Lily and Ben." She hugs them and kisses them. She smiles and says, "Now, let's go and have some cookies and milk. You deserve a treat." +Ben and Mia were playing in the park with their toys. They saw a big rat run across the grass. It had a long tail and sharp teeth. + +"Look, a rat!" Ben said. "Let's chase it!" + +"No, Ben, rats are bad. They can bite and make you sick," Mia said. "We should stay away from it." + +But Ben did not listen. He ran after the rat with his toy car. He wanted to catch it and make it his pet. + +The rat saw Ben and was scared. It ran faster and faster, looking for a place to hide. It found a hole under a tree and went inside. + +Ben followed the rat to the hole. He reached his hand inside and tried to grab it. + +"Ow!" Ben cried. He pulled his hand out and saw blood. The rat had bitten him. + +Mia ran to Ben and saw his wound. She was worried. + +"Ben, are you okay? Let me see your hand," she said. + +She took his hand and wrapped it with her scarf. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. The rat was scared and angry. It did not want to be your pet. It wanted to be free." + +Ben felt sorry too. He realized he had been mean to the rat. He said, "I'm sorry, Mia. You were right. Rats are bad. I should have listened to you. You are a good friend." + +Mia smiled and said, "It's okay, Ben. You are a good friend too. But next time, please don't chase rats. They are not toys. They are animals. They have feelings too." + +Ben nodded and said, "I understand, Mia. I will not chase rats again. I will be more humble and kind." + +They hugged and went to find their mom. They told her what happened and she took them to the doctor. The doctor gave Ben a bandage and a medicine. He said, "Ben, you are lucky. The rat did not give you a bad disease. But you should be careful with wild animals. They can be dangerous. I recommend you to play with safer toys, like balls and dolls." + +Ben and Mia agreed. They thanked the doctor and went home. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to respect animals and to listen to their friends. They also learned a new word: recommend. It meant to say what is good or right. They liked that word. They decided to use it more often. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But today, their mom has a big surprise for them. She says they are going to visit their grandma on the farm. + +"Come on, kids, hurry up! We have to catch the bus soon!" mom says. She is very bossy today. She wants them to put on their coats and hats and shoes. + +"But mom, we don't want to go!" Sara says. She likes her toys more than the farm. "The farm is boring and smelly!" + +"No, it's not, Sara. The farm is fun and nice!" Ben says. He likes the farm more than the toys. "The farm has animals and plants and wool!" + +"Wool? What is wool?" Sara asks. She does not know what wool is. + +"Wool is the soft and warm thing that comes from the sheep. Grandma makes sweaters and scarves and mittens from wool. She can teach us how to knit with wool!" Ben says. He thinks wool is cool. + +Sara thinks for a moment. She likes soft and warm things. She likes sweaters and scarves and mittens. Maybe wool is not so bad. + +"Okay, fine. I will go to the farm. But only if I can play with the wool!" Sara says. + +"Good, good. Now hurry up, kids. The bus is here!" mom says. She grabs their bags and leads them to the door. + +Sara and Ben follow mom. They are still a little grumpy, but also a little curious. They wonder what the farm will be like. They hope they will have fun with the wool. +Anna and Ben are playing in the backyard. They have a big box and some paper and crayons. They want to mail a letter to their grandma, who lives far away. + +They draw pictures of flowers and hearts and write "We love you, Grandma" on the paper. They fold the paper and put it in the box. They find a stick and write "To Grandma" on the box. + +They look for a place to mail the box. They see a hole in the fence. They think it is a mailbox. They push the box through the hole. + +"Bye bye, letter!" they say. "Have a good trip!" + +But the hole is not a mailbox. It is a hole to the neighbor's yard. And the neighbor has a big dog. The dog sees the box and thinks it is a toy. He runs to the box and bites it. + +The box breaks and the paper falls out. The dog sniffs the paper and licks it. He does not like the taste. It is sour from the crayons. He spits out the paper and barks. + +Anna and Ben hear the bark. They look through the hole. They see the dog and the broken box and the paper. + +"Oh no!" they say. "Our letter!" + +They run to the fence and try to get the box and the paper back. But the dog growls and shows his teeth. He does not want to share his toy. + +"Go away, dog!" they say. "That is our letter!" + +But the dog does not listen. He picks up the box and the paper and runs away. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They wanted to mail a letter to their grandma. They do not know what to do. + +They go back to their backyard and sit on the grass. They hug each other and cry. +Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted on paper, on cardboard, on rocks, and sometimes on the wall. Mommy was not happy when she painted on the wall. + +One day, Lily found a big pot in the kitchen. It was black and filthy. It had old food and dirt inside. Lily thought it was a good thing to paint. She took her colors and brushes and went to the pot. She painted it red and yellow and blue and green. She made stripes and dots and swirls. She was very proud of her pot. + +Mommy came into the kitchen and saw the pot. She was very angry. She said, "Lily, what did you do? This pot is filthy and now it is ruined. You can't paint on pots. You have to wash them and cook with them. Go to your room and think about what you did." + +Lily was sad. She did not understand why Mommy was angry. She liked her pot. She thought it was pretty. She went to her room and cried. She wished Mommy would like her pot too. +Tom and Amy are friends. They like to play with their toy horses and cows. They make a ranch with blocks and grass. They pretend to be cowboys and cowgirls. + +One day, they hear a loud noise. It is a big truck. The truck is coming to their ranch. The truck has a big cage. The cage has a lion inside. The lion is angry and hungry. + +Tom and Amy are scared. They run to their horses. They say to each other: + +"Quick, we have to get away from the lion!" + +"Yes, we have to be alert and fast!" + +They ride their horses to the other side of the ranch. They hide behind a fence. They hope the lion does not see them. + +The truck stops at the ranch. The driver gets out. He is looking for the lion. He sees the cage is open. He says: + +"Oh no, the lion has escaped! I have to find him and catch him!" + +He takes a rope and a net. He walks around the ranch. He looks for the lion. + +Tom and Amy watch him from the fence. They are quiet and still. They do not want the driver or the lion to find them. + +They see the lion behind a tree. The lion sees the driver. The lion roars and jumps. The driver sees the lion. He throws the net over the lion. He ties the rope around the lion. He says: + +"Got you, you naughty lion! You can't run away from me!" + +He puts the lion back in the cage. He locks the cage. He drives the truck away from the ranch. + +Tom and Amy are happy and relieved. They hug their horses. They say to each other: + +"Wow, that was scary!" + +"Yes, but we are brave and smart!" + +They go back to their ranch. They play with their toy horses and cows. They make a new fence with more blocks. They say: + +"This is our ranch. We love our ranch. No lions can come to our ranch!" +Lily liked to play with her furry dolls. She had a big group of them on her bed. She gave them names and voices and made them talk to each other. She pretended they were her friends and had adventures with them. + +One day, her mom came into her room and said, "Lily, it's time to clean up your toys. We have to go to the store soon." + +Lily did not want to clean up. She wanted to keep playing with her furry dolls. She said, "No, mom, I don't want to. I want to play more." + +Her mom said, "Lily, you have to listen to me. You can play with your dolls later, but now you have to put them away. It's not nice to leave a mess in your room." + +Lily tried to resist. She hugged her dolls and said, "But mom, they are my friends. They don't want to go in the box. They want to stay with me." + +Her mom said, "Lily, they are not real friends. They are just toys. They don't mind going in the box. They will be safe and cozy there. And you can see them again when we come back from the store. But you have to do what I say, or you will be in trouble." + +Lily did not like to be in trouble. She knew her mom was right. She sighed and said, "Okay, mom, I will clean up. But can I take one doll with me to the store?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can take one doll with you. But only one. Now hurry up and put the rest in the box." + +Lily picked her favorite doll, a pink bunny with a blue bow. She said, "Bye, furry friends. I will be back soon. Don't be sad. I love you all." She put them in the box and closed the lid. Then she took her bunny and followed her mom to the car. She hoped they would have fun at the store. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside at night. They liked to look at the stars and the moon and make wishes. One night, they saw a big, bright moon in the sky. They wanted to say hello to the moon, so they waved their hands. + +"Hello, moon!" they shouted. "We like you very much! Can you make our wishes come true?" + +The moon did not answer. It just smiled and shone. + +Tom and Lily got angry. They thought the moon was rude and did not care about them. They started to throw rocks and sticks at the moon, trying to make it talk. + +"Hey, moon! Why don't you answer us? We are your friends! Don't you like us?" they yelled. + +The moon did not like that. It felt hurt and sad. It hid behind a cloud and stopped shining. + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They realized they had been mean and silly. They wanted to make up with the moon, so they waved their hands again. + +"Sorry, moon!" they said. "We did not mean to hurt you. We were just curious and excited. We still like you very much! Can you please come back and shine?" + +The moon heard their words and felt happy. It came out from behind the cloud and shone again. + +"Hello, Tom and Lily!" it said. "I like you too. I can't make your wishes come true, but I can be your friend and light your way. Thank you for saying sorry. That was very kind and brave of you." + +Tom and Lily smiled and hugged each other. They learned that they should not be angry and rude to others, even if they don't answer. They should be respectful and polite, and say sorry when they make a mistake. They waved to the moon one more time and said good night. Then they went inside and had some tasty cookies and milk before bed. They dreamed of the moon and the stars and their wishes. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with a big red ball. They bounce the ball to each other and laugh. + +One day, they find a gray button on the ground. It is shiny and round. Lily picks it up and says, "Look, Ben, I found a button. It is pretty. Can I keep it?" + +Ben says, "No, Lily, that is my button. I lost it yesterday. Give it back to me." + +Lily says, "No, Ben, it is mine. I found it. You can have the ball." + +Ben says, "No, Lily, that is not fair. The ball is ours. The button is mine. Give it back or I will not play with you." + +Lily and Ben start to argue. They pull the button from each other. They are angry and sad. + +Then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She says, "Lily, Ben, what are you doing? Why are you fighting?" + +Lily and Ben stop and look at Mom. They feel ashamed. They tell Mom about the button and the ball. + +Mom says, "Lily, Ben, the button is not important. The ball is not important. What is important is your friendship. You should share and be kind to each other. How about you take turns with the button and the ball? Then, you can both have fun and be happy." + +Lily and Ben think about what Mom says. They say sorry to each other. They hug and smile. They agree to share the button and the ball. They bounce the ball to each other and laugh. They are friends again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw an old man sitting on a bench. He had a big hat and a long beard. He was holding a leash, but they could not see his animal. + +"Where is your animal?" Lily asked the old man. She was curious and brave. + +The old man smiled and pointed to a bush. "He is hiding there. He is shy and scared of loud noises. Do you want to see him?" + +Lily and Tom nodded and walked slowly to the bush. They gazed at the leaves and tried to find the animal. They heard a soft meow and saw a pair of yellow eyes. It was a cat, but not a normal cat. He was very old and thin. He had patches of fur missing and scars on his ears. He looked sad and tired. + +"His name is Max," the old man said. "He is my best friend. I found him on the street when he was a kitten. He was hurt and hungry. I took him home and gave him food and love. He has been with me ever since." + +Lily and Tom felt sorry for the cat. They wanted to pet him and make him happy. They reached out their hands and whispered, "Hello, Max. We are Lily and Tom. We are your friends too." + +Max looked at them and sniffed their fingers. He sensed that they were kind and gentle. He rubbed his head against their palms and purred. He felt a little bit of warmth and joy. + +The old man, Lily and Tom smiled. They sat on the bench and talked. They shared stories and jokes. They played with Max and gave him treats. They had a lot of fun. They became friends. +Lily and Ben were making a cake with Mom. They had to stir the flour, the eggs, the sugar and the butter in a big bowl. Lily liked to stir fast and make bubbles. Ben liked to stir slow and make swirls. + +"Can I lick the spoon, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben said. + +Mom smiled and gave them each a spoon. "You can lick the spoons, but don't eat too much. We have to save some for the cake." + +Lily and Ben licked their spoons and made yummy noises. They liked the sweet taste of the cake mix. + +Mom poured the cake mix into a pan and put it in the oven. "Now we have to wait for the cake to bake. Do you want to go for a walk while we wait?" she asked. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They put on their coats and shoes and followed Mom outside. They saw a lot of things on their walk. They saw a dog, a cat, a bird, a car, a bike and a flower. They said hello to the dog, the cat, the bird, the car, the bike and the flower. + +Then they saw something enormous. It was a big red truck with a ladder and a hose. It was a fire truck. It made a loud noise and flashed its lights. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. + +"It's so big!" Ben said. + +"Hello, kids!" a man in a yellow suit and a helmet said. He was a firefighter. He waved at them from the truck. + +"Hello, firefighter!" Lily and Ben said. + +"Do you want to see the fire truck?" the firefighter asked. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben said. + +The firefighter helped them climb up the truck. He showed them the ladder, the hose, the siren and the radio. He let them wear his helmet and his gloves. He told them how he helped people and animals when there was a fire. + +Lily and Ben had a lot of fun. They thanked the firefighter and said goodbye. They went back to Mom, who was waiting for them. + +"Did you enjoy your walk?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom, we saw a fire truck!" Lily and Ben said. + +"That's wonderful!" Mom said. "And guess what? The cake is ready!" + +Lily and Ben clapped their hands. They ran inside and smelled the cake. It was warm and delicious. They cut a slice for each of them and Mom. They ate the cake and smiled. They liked the cake. They liked the walk. They liked the fire truck. They liked the day. +Tim and Sam were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill. They wanted to go up the hill and see what was on the other side. + +They asked their moms if they could go. Their moms said yes, but they had to be careful and stay together. Tim and Sam said okay and ran to the hill. + +The hill was very steep and hard to climb. Tim was faster and stronger than Sam. He moved up the hill quickly. He did not wait for Sam. He wanted to be the first to reach the top. + +Sam was slower and weaker than Tim. He moved up the hill slowly. He was tired and scared. He called for Tim, but Tim did not hear him. He was too far ahead. + +Tim reached the top of the hill. He was happy and proud. He looked around and saw a beautiful lake and a forest. He wanted to explore more. He forgot about Sam. + +Sam reached the top of the hill. He was sad and angry. He did not see Tim. He felt alone and lost. He wanted to go back home. + +He saw Tim running to the lake. He shouted for Tim, but Tim did not listen. He was too busy having fun. + +Sam started to cry. He wished he had a better friend. He wished he had never come to the hill. + +A bird saw Sam crying. It flew to him and said, "Why are you crying, little boy?" + +Sam told the bird what happened. The bird said, "That is not nice. A good friend should not leave you behind. A good friend should help you and share with you. You deserve a better friend." + +The bird said, "Come with me. I will show you the way back home. I will be your friend." + +Sam smiled and thanked the bird. He followed the bird down the hill. He felt better. + +Tim played by the lake for a while. He got bored and hungry. He wanted to go back home. He looked for Sam, but he did not see him. He wondered where he was. + +He ran back to the top of the hill. He did not see Sam or the bird. He felt worried and guilty. He realized he had been a bad friend. He wished he had stayed with Sam and helped him and shared with him. + +He called for Sam, but Sam did not answer. He was too far away. + +Tim started to cry. He wished he had a friend. He wished he had never left Sam. + +He did not know the way back home. He was alone and lost. + +The moral of the story is: Be a good friend and do not leave your friend behind. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play with marbles. They had many marbles of different colors and sizes. They liked to roll them, sort them, and trade them. + +One day, they decided to have a marble race. They made a track with a cardboard box and some tape. They each chose a marble and put it at the top of the track. Then they counted to three and let go of their marbles. + +Tom's marble was red and shiny. It rolled fast and smooth. Lily's marble was blue and sparkly. It rolled slower and wobbled. Tom's marble reached the end of the track first. He cheered and said, "I win! I win!" + +Lily was sad. She wanted to win too. She looked at her marble and said, "My marble is not fair. It is too slow and bumpy." + +Tom saw that Lily was sad. He did not want to make her sad. He liked to play with her. He thought for a moment. Then he said, "Do you want to trade marbles? You can have my red marble and I can have your blue marble. Then we can race again and see what happens." + +Lily smiled. She liked Tom's red marble. It was fast and smooth. She said, "Okay, let's trade marbles. Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend." + +They traded marbles and raced again. This time, Lily's red marble reached the end of the track first. She cheered and said, "I win! I win!" + +Tom was happy for Lily. He did not mind losing. He liked his blue marble. It was sparkly and wobbly. He said, "You win! You win! Good job, Lily. You are a good friend too." + +They laughed and hugged. They played with their marbles some more. They had fun. They were happy. +Tom and Mia are playing in the park with their ball. They like to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes the ball goes too far and they have to chase it. + +One time, the ball goes over the fence and into the street. Tom and Mia run to the fence and look for the ball. They see a big car coming fast. The car hits the ball and makes a loud noise. The ball pops and flies away. + +Tom and Mia are scared. They panic and start to cry. They want their ball back. They want their mom and dad. + +A cop sees them crying by the fence. He stops his car and gets out. He walks to them and asks, "What's wrong, kids?" + +Tom and Mia point to the street and say, "Our ball! Our ball! The car broke our ball!" + +The cop looks at the street and sees the popped ball. He feels sorry for them. He says, "I'm sorry, kids. That was a silly car. It should have been more careful. But don't worry, I have something for you." + +He opens his car and takes out a new ball. He gives it to Tom and Mia and says, "Here, this is for you. It's a nice ball. You can play with it in the park. But be careful and don't let it go over the fence again, okay?" + +Tom and Mia smile and say, "Thank you, cop! Thank you for the new ball! You are very nice!" + +They hug the cop and take the new ball. They go back to the park and play with it. They are happy again. They like the cop. He is their friend. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes the ball went too far and they had to chase it. + +One time, the ball rolled into the bushes. Ben ran after it, but he did not see the big dog that was hiding there. The dog saw the ball and wanted to play too. It jumped out of the bushes and barked loudly. It grabbed the ball with its teeth and shook it. + +Ben was very scared. He wanted his ball back, but he did not want to go near the dog. He shouted for Lily to help him. + +"Lily, Lily, come here! There is a scary dog with my ball!" + +Lily heard Ben and ran to him. She saw the dog and the ball. She was not scared of dogs. She liked to pet them and give them treats. She thought the dog was just lonely and wanted to have fun. + +She walked slowly to the dog and said in a soft voice: + +"Hello, doggy. You are very big and strong. Do you like the ball? Can we play with you?" + +The dog stopped barking and wagging its tail. It looked at Lily and sniffed her hand. It liked her smell and her voice. It dropped the ball and licked her face. + +Lily giggled and scratched the dog's ears. She picked up the ball and threw it. The dog ran after it and brought it back. It gave the ball to Lily and waited for her to throw it again. + +Ben saw that the dog was friendly and not scary. He joined Lily and the dog and played with them. They had a lot of fun together. They ran and laughed and threw the ball. They forgot about their fear and their lung hurt from breathing hard. They made a new friend in the park. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play and joke with each other. One day, they go to Ben's house for lunch. Ben's mom makes soup and bread for them. She puts the soup on the table and says, "Be careful, the soup is spicy. You might not like it." + +Anna likes spicy food. She thinks it is fun to eat. She wants to joke with Ben. She says, "I bet you can't eat the soup. You are too scared of spicy food. You are a baby." + +Ben feels hurt. He is not a baby. He likes spicy food too. He wants to show Anna that he is brave. He says, "No, I am not a baby. I can eat the soup. Watch me." He takes a big spoonful of soup and puts it in his mouth. + +But the soup is too spicy for Ben. He feels his tongue burn. He feels his eyes water. He feels his nose run. He spits out the soup and cries. He says, "Ow, ow, ow! The soup is too spicy! It hurts!" + +Anna feels sorry. She did not mean to make Ben cry. She did not mean to hurt his feelings. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was joking. I did not think the soup was that spicy. Are you okay?" + +Ben's mom comes and gives Ben a glass of water. She says, "It's okay, Ben. The soup is very spicy. I made it for your dad. He likes it that way. You don't have to eat it if you don't like it. Here, have some bread. It will make you feel better." + +Ben drinks the water and eats the bread. He feels better. He says, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, Anna. I'm sorry I called you a baby. You are not a baby. You are my friend." + +Anna says, "I'm sorry I joked with you. You are not scared of spicy food. You are brave. You are my friend too." + +They hug and smile. They learn that jokes can be fun, but they can also hurt. They learn to be kind and respectful to each other. They learn to enjoy their food and their friendship. +Lily liked to look at bugs. She had a jar with holes in the lid, and she put grass and leaves inside. Sometimes she found a bug and put it in the jar too. She wanted to see what they did and how they changed. + +One day, she found a yellow caterpillar on a flower. It was fuzzy and had black stripes. Lily thought it was pretty, so she picked it up and put it in her jar. She gave it some more leaves and closed the lid. She wondered what it would become. + +She took the jar to her room and put it on her shelf. She looked at it every day, but the caterpillar did not do much. It just ate and slept and crawled around. Lily was a little bored, but she did not want to let it go. She hoped it would do something soon. + +One morning, she woke up and saw something different in the jar. The caterpillar was gone, and there was a hard brown thing hanging from a leaf. Lily did not know what it was, but she was curious. She touched the jar, but the thing did not move. She waited and watched, but nothing happened. + +She decided to go outside and play. She forgot about the jar for a while. She ran and jumped and laughed with her friends. She had fun in the sun. + +When she came back to her room, she saw a surprise. The jar was not brown anymore, it was colorful. The hard thing had opened, and a beautiful butterfly had come out. It had yellow and black wings, and it fluttered inside the jar. Lily was amazed and happy. She had delivered a butterfly from a caterpillar. She smiled and opened the lid. She let the butterfly fly away, and said goodbye. She felt proud and glad. She had learned something new. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals and colors. They can make pairs of cards that are the same. + +One day, they want to play a new game. They ask their mom to teach them. Mom says, "This game is called memory. You have to turn over two cards and see if they match. If they do, you keep them. If they don't, you turn them back and try again. You have to remember where the cards are. The one who has the most pairs at the end wins." + +Tom and Lily are excited. They want to start the game. Mom shuffles the cards and puts them face down on the table. She says, "Tom, you go first. Pick two cards and turn them over." + +Tom picks a card. It has a red apple. He picks another card. It has a blue fish. They don't match. He says, "Oh, no!" He turns them back. + +Lily says, "My turn!" She picks a card. It has a yellow duck. She picks another card. It has a yellow duck. They match. She says, "Yay!" She keeps them. + +Tom is sad. He says, "That's not fair! You got lucky!" + +Mom says, "Don't be sad, Tom. It's just a game. You have to be patient. You will find a pair soon. Just try to remember where the cards are." + +Tom nods. He says, "OK, mom. I will try again." + +He picks a card. It has a green frog. He picks another card. It has a green frog. They match.

They love their mom. They love each other. +Leo was a little lion who liked to roar. He roared when he was happy, when he was angry, and when he was bored. He roared so loud that he scared the other animals in the jungle. + +One day, he saw a big elephant drinking water from the lake. Leo wanted to play with the elephant, so he ran up to him and roared in his ear. The elephant was very surprised and angry. He turned around and sprayed water at Leo with his trunk. + +"Stop that!" the elephant said. "You are very rude and noisy. Go away!" + +Leo did not like being sprayed with water. He felt wet and cold. He also did not like being told to go away. He wanted to have fun. He roared again and jumped on the elephant's back. + +"Get off me!" the elephant said. "You are very heavy and annoying. Go away!" + +Leo did not want to get off. He wanted to show the elephant who was the boss. He bit the elephant's ear and scratched his skin. + +"Ow!" the elephant said. "You are very mean and hurtful. Go away!" + +The elephant shook his head and tried to throw Leo off. Leo held on tight and kept biting and scratching. The elephant ran around the lake and tried to find help. The other animals saw the fight and ran away. They did not want to get involved. + +Soon, the lake was empty. There was no one left but Leo and the elephant. They were both tired and sore. They stopped fighting and looked at each other. + +"Why did you do that?" the elephant asked. "Why did you roar at me and attack me? I did not do anything to you." + +Leo did not have a good answer. He realized he had been very silly and bad. He felt sorry and ashamed. + +"I don't know," Leo said. "I was bored and wanted to play. I did not mean to make you angry and hurt you. I am sorry." + +The elephant looked at Leo and saw that he was sincere. He felt sorry for him too. He knew that being bored was not fun. + +"It's okay," the elephant said. "I forgive you. But you should not roar at people and start fights. That is not how you make friends. You should be nice and polite and ask them to play. Then they will like you and have fun with you." + +Leo nodded and smiled. He learned his lesson. He thanked the elephant and apologized again. He asked him if he wanted to play with him. The elephant agreed and smiled too. They became friends and played together. They did not roar or fight anymore. They were happy and peaceful. The end. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to jog every morning. They jogged around their block, past the park, the school, and the factory. The factory was big and noisy, and made things like cars and bikes. Ben and Lily sometimes saw the workers go in and out of the factory. + +One day, as they jogged by the factory, they saw a big pile of toys outside the gate. There were dolls, trucks, balls, and puzzles. Ben and Lily stopped and looked at the toys. They wondered who they belonged to. + +"Maybe they are for the workers' kids," Lily said. + +"Or maybe they are for us," Ben said. He ran to the pile and grabbed a truck. "Look, this is a cool truck. I want it." + +Lily followed him and picked up a doll. "This is a pretty doll. I want it too." + +They started to take more toys from the pile, until they had a big bag full of them. They did not think about who the toys were for, or if they were stealing. They were selfish and only cared about themselves. + +"Hey, stop that!" a voice shouted. Ben and Lily turned and saw a man in a uniform. He was a guard from the factory. He looked angry and ran towards them. "Those toys are not yours. They are for the children's hospital. We made them as a gift for the sick kids. How dare you take them?" + +Ben and Lily felt scared and ashamed. They dropped the bag and the toys and ran away. They did not jog anymore. They cried all the way home. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that being selfish is wrong, and that they should think about others before themselves. They learned that taking things that are not yours is stealing, and that stealing is bad. They learned that jogging is fun, but not when you do something bad on the way. +Tom is a curious boy. He likes to spin and turn and see new things. One day, he finds a big red ball in the park. He picks it up and spins it in his hands. He sees many colors on the ball. He wonders what they are. + +He runs to his mom and shows her the ball. She smiles and tells him it is a globe. She says it is a map of the world. She points to different places on the ball and tells him their names. Tom is amazed. He wants to know more. + +He asks his mom if he can spin the globe and see where it stops. She says yes, but he has to be careful. He puts the globe on the ground and gives it a push. He watches it spin and turn. He sees the colors change and blur. He waits for it to stop. + +The globe slows down and stops. Tom looks at it closely. He sees a big blue spot with a green shape in the middle. He asks his mom what it is. She tells him it is the Pacific Ocean and Australia. She says it is very far away from where they live. Tom is curious. He wonders what it is like there. He wants to spin the globe again and see more of the world. +Anna loved to swim in the pool with her big brother Sam. They played games, splashed water, and pretended to be fish. Sam taught Anna how to dive, and she was very brave. She put her head under the water, kicked her legs, and pushed herself forward. She felt like a dolphin. + +Yesterday, they went to the pool again, but it was very crowded. There were many other kids and grown-ups, and some of them were loud and rude. Anna wanted to dive, but she was scared. She saw a big boy dive and splash a lot of water on a little girl, who cried. She saw a grown-up dive and hit his head on the wall, who groaned. She saw a dog dive and chase a duck, who quacked. + +Anna did not want to dive anymore. She stayed close to Sam, who hugged her and said it was okay. He said they could dive another day, when the pool was quieter and nicer. He said he was proud of her for trying, and that she was a good swimmer. He said they should go home and rest, because they were both tired. + +They got out of the pool, dried themselves, and put on their clothes. They walked to the car, holding hands. Anna felt sad, but also safe. She looked at the pool, and saw the sun shining on the water. She thought maybe she would dive again, someday. She smiled at Sam, who smiled back. They got in the car, and drove away. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and paper. + +One day, Tom has a new idea. He says to Lily, "Let's print our cars on paper. We can make a car book." Lily thinks this is a fun idea. She says, "Yes, let's do that. How do we print our cars?" + +Tom shows Lily how to print their cars. He takes a paper and a crayon. He puts a car on the paper and traces around it with the crayon. He lifts the car and shows Lily the car shape on the paper. He says, "Look, I printed my car. It is red and big. Now you try." + +Lily takes another paper and a crayon. She puts a car on the paper and traces around it with the crayon. She lifts the car and shows Tom the car shape on the paper. She says, "Look, I printed my car. It is blue and small. It is cute." + +Tom and Lily print more cars on more papers. They use different colors and sizes. They are happy and calm. They make a car book with their papers. They show their car book to their mom and dad. Their mom and dad are proud and smile. They say, "Wow, you printed your cars. You made a car book. It is beautiful. You are very clever." Tom and Lily hug their mom and dad. They say, "Thank you. We love you. We love our cars." +Lily liked to play in the kitchen. She had many toys, but she also liked to look at the things in the cabinet. The cabinet had many plates and cups and bowls. Some were white, some were blue, some had flowers or animals on them. + +One day, Lily noticed something new in the cabinet. It was a small plate with a beautiful picture on it. It had a girl with a red dress and a big hat. She had a basket with bread and cheese. She was walking in a green field with a dog and a cow. Lily thought the girl looked happy and kind. + +Lily wanted to see the plate better. She climbed on a chair and reached for the cabinet. She opened the door and took the plate in her hands. She felt the smooth and shiny surface. She looked at the picture and smiled. + +But then, she heard a loud noise. It was her mom, who came into the kitchen. She saw Lily with the plate and gasped. She ran to her and took the plate from her. She said, "Lily, what are you doing? This plate is very old and special. It was grandma's. You could have broken it!" + +Lily felt scared and sad. She did not mean to do anything bad. She just liked the plate. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to look at it. It's so beautiful." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "I know, sweetie. It is beautiful. But it's also very fragile. You have to be careful with it. Maybe someday, when you are older, I can tell you the story of the plate and grandma. Would you like that?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I would like that." + +Mom smiled and said, "Okay, then. But for now, let's put the plate back in the cabinet. And you can play with your toys instead. How about that?" + +Lily agreed and said, "Okay, mom. I love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily." And they put the plate back in the cabinet and played with the toys. +Lily and Ben like to play with water. They have a big tub in the garden. They fill it with water from the hose. They splash and laugh. They have fun. + +But one day, the water is gone. The tub is empty. Lily and Ben are sad. They look for the water. They see a hole in the tub. The water went out of the hole. The water went to the drain. + +The drain is a big pipe under the ground. The water goes to the drain when it rains. The drain takes the water away. Lily and Ben want their water back. + +They have an idea. They are clever. They get some clay. They make a ball with the clay. They put the ball in the hole. They stop the water from going out. They fill the tub again. They splash and laugh. They have fun. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are playing pirates in the garden. They have a big box for a ship, a paper hat for a captain, and a stick for a sword. They also have a hook that Tom's dad gave them. It is a real hook, but not sharp. + +"Arrr, matey, we are looking for treasure!" Tom says. He puts the hook on his hand and pretends to be a scary pirate. + +"Where is the treasure, captain?" Lily asks. She holds the sword and follows Tom. + +"It is on that island!" Tom points to a pile of rocks. "But we have to be careful. There are crocodiles in the water!" + +Tom and Lily jump out of the box and run to the rocks. They pretend to swim and dodge the crocodiles. They reach the island and start to dig. + +"Look, captain, I found something!" Lily shouts. She holds up a shiny coin. + +"Incredible!" Tom says. He digs faster and finds more coins. "We are rich, matey!" + +They fill their pockets with coins and run back to the box. They are very happy and proud. + +"Let's count our treasure, captain!" Lily says. + +"Okay, matey, but first, let me take off this hook. It is too heavy and itchy." Tom says. + +He tries to pull the hook off his hand, but it is stuck. He pulls harder and harder, but it does not come off. + +"Help, help, matey! The hook is stuck on my hand!" Tom cries. + +Lily runs to him and tries to help. She pulls the hook, but it does not move. + +"Oh no, captain, what do we do?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know, matey, I don't know. I don't want this hook on my hand!" Tom says. + +They start to cry and scream. They want their mom and dad to help them. + +But mom and dad are inside the house. They do not hear them. They are watching a movie. It is about pirates. It is incredible. +Lila and Tom were twins who liked to play in the woods. One day, they saw a big wolf with gray fur and yellow eyes. The wolf looked hungry and lonely. Lila felt sorry for the wolf and wanted to be its friend. She said to Tom, "Let's follow the wolf and see where it lives. Maybe we can give it some food and play with it." + +Tom was not sure. He said, "But Lila, the wolf is wild and scary. It might bite us or take us to its den. We should go back to our house and tell Mom and Dad." But Lila did not listen. She ran after the wolf, calling, "Wait, wolf, wait! We want to be your friends!" + +Tom was afraid to lose his sister, so he followed her too. They ran deeper and deeper into the woods, until they came to a dark cave. The wolf went inside the cave and Lila and Tom followed. The cave was empty and cold. There was no food, no toys, no other wolves. The wolf turned around and growled at Lila and Tom. It showed its sharp teeth and claws. It was not friendly at all. It wanted to eat them! + +Lila and Tom were very scared. They wished they had listened to Tom and stayed away from the wolf. They cried, "Help, help! Someone save us!" They hoped their Mom and Dad would hear them and come to rescue them. + +Luckily, a hunter was nearby and heard their cries. He had a gun and a dog. He ran to the cave and saw the wolf. He shot the wolf and scared it away. He found Lila and Tom and hugged them. He said, "You are very lucky I was here. You should never follow a wolf or any other wild animal. They are dangerous and not your friends. You should always listen to your parents and stay safe. Do you understand?" + +Lila and Tom nodded. They said, "We are sorry, we were wrong. We will never follow a wolf again. Thank you for saving us." They went back to their house with the hunter and his dog. They told their Mom and Dad what happened and said they were sorry. Their Mom and Dad were happy they were safe and forgave them. They learned their lesson and never followed a wolf again. +Sara and Tom are playing in the park. They like to swing and slide and run. They see a big dog with a long whip. The dog is happy and wags his whip. He wants to play too. + +"Hi, doggy!" Sara says. "Can we pet you?" + +The dog barks and runs to Sara and Tom. He is very fast and strong. He jumps on Sara and licks her face. He knocks Tom down and bites his shoe. Sara and Tom are scared. They cry for help. + +"Help! Help!" they shout. "The dog is too rough!" + +Mom hears them and rushes to the park. She is worried. She sees the dog and the kids. She grabs the whip and pulls the dog away. + +"Bad dog! Go away!" she says. "You hurt my kids!" + +The dog whines and runs away. He is sorry. He did not mean to be bad. He just wanted to have fun. + +Mom hugs Sara and Tom. She checks them for hurts. They have some scratches and dirt, but they are okay. + +"I'm sorry, kids," she says. "That dog was not nice. He should have a leash and a owner. Are you okay?" + +Sara and Tom nod. They are still scared, but they are brave. They thank Mom for saving them. + +"It's okay, Mom," they say. "We love you. Can we go home now?" + +Mom smiles and kisses them. She takes them by the hand and walks them home. She is glad they are safe. She hopes they will not see that dog again. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a huge bird in the sky. It has black and white feathers and a long yellow beak. Tom and Lily want to see it better. + +"Look, Lily, a huge bird!" Tom says. + +"Wow, Tom, it is huge! What is its name?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a crow. Or a duck. Or a penguin." Tom guesses. + +The huge bird flies closer to them. It makes a loud noise. It sounds like "caw, caw, caw". Tom and Lily are scared. They hide behind a tree. + +The huge bird lands on the ground. It walks towards them. It has big claws and a sharp beak. It looks angry. + +"Go away, huge bird! You are mean!" Tom shouts. + +The huge bird does not listen. It strikes the tree with its beak. It makes a hole in the bark. It tries to strike Tom and Lily too. + +"Help, help, help!" Tom and Lily cry. + +A man hears them. He runs to them. He has a stick in his hand. He waves the stick at the huge bird. He says "shoo, shoo, shoo". + +The huge bird is afraid. It flies away. It does not come back. + +The man hugs Tom and Lily. He says "don't worry, kids. You are safe now. That was not a crow, or a duck, or a penguin. That was a woodpecker. A very big woodpecker." + +Tom and Lily say "thank you, mister. You are nice. What is your name?" + +The man says "my name is Bob. And what are your names?" + +Tom and Lily say "we are Tom and Lily. We are friends. We like to play in the park. But we don't like huge birds." + +Bob says "I understand. Huge birds can be scary. But they are also beautiful and interesting. Maybe next time you can watch them from a distance. And learn their names." + +Tom and Lily say "maybe. But we like small birds better. They are cute and friendly. And they sing nice songs." + +Bob says "that's true. Small birds are wonderful too. Do you want to see some? I have a bird feeder in my garden. You can come with me and feed them." + +Tom and Lily say "yes, please. That sounds fun. Can we go now?" + +Bob says "sure. Let's go. But first, let's tell your parents where we are going. They might be worried." + +Tom and Lily say "okay. Let's go." They hold Bob's hand. They walk to his garden. They see many small birds. They feed them. They are happy. They forget about the huge bird. They have a new friend. His name is Bob. +Tom was a sailor who liked to sail on the big blue sea. He had a boat that was red and white and had a big sail. He was happy when he sailed his boat and saw the fish and the birds. + +One day, Tom saw a shiny thing in the water. He wanted to have it, so he stopped his boat and reached for it. But the shiny thing was very heavy. It was a big metal box with a lock. Tom pulled and pulled, but he could not lift it. He tied a rope to the box and to his boat, and tried to sail away. But the box was too heavy for his boat. His boat started to sink. + +"Help! Help!" Tom shouted. "My boat is sinking!" + +A fisherman heard Tom and came to help him. He had a bigger boat with a motor. He cut the rope and pulled Tom out of the water. + +"Why did you want that heavy box?" the fisherman asked. + +"I don't know," Tom said. "It was shiny and I wanted it." + +The fisherman shook his head. "You should not want things that you don't need. They can make you unhappy and get you in trouble. You should be happy with what you have. Your boat is a good boat. It can sail on the sea and make you happy. But now it is gone." + +Tom felt sad. He had lost his boat because he wanted something he did not need. He learned a lesson. He thanked the fisherman and went home. He decided to save his money and buy a new boat. He also decided to be happy with what he had and not want things that he did not need. He hoped to sail on the sea again and be happy. +Sara liked to imagine that she was a princess. She had a pink dress, a shiny crown and a big cart. She would fill her cart with her toys and books and pretend that she was going to visit other kingdoms. + +One day, she met a boy named Tom in the park. He had a blue shirt, a red cap and a bike. He wanted to play with Sara, but he did not like her cart. He said it was too slow and boring. + +"Can I ride your bike?" Sara asked politely. + +"No, you can't. It's mine and it's fast and fun. Your cart is silly and girly. You can't keep up with me." Tom said rudely. + +Sara felt sad and angry. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She decided to imagine that he was a dragon and that she was a brave princess. She took her cart and ran away from him. She shouted, "You are a mean dragon and I don't like you. I have a magic cart and it can fly. I'm going to find a nice prince who will be my friend." + +Tom was surprised and confused. He did not understand why Sara was so mad. He thought she was just playing. He tried to follow her, but he could not catch up with her. He saw her cart disappear behind a big tree. He wondered if it really could fly. He felt sorry and lonely. He wished he had been more polite to Sara. He wanted to say sorry and play with her again. +Lily was very happy. She had an invitation to Ben's birthday party. She liked Ben. He was her friend. He was kind and funny. He had a big dog that was soft and friendly. + +Lily wanted to do something nice for Ben. She thought hard. What did Ben like? She remembered that he liked cars and trucks. She had a toy car that was red and shiny. She decided to give it to Ben as a gift. + +She wrapped the car in a paper that had stars on it. She wrote "To Ben, from Lily" on a card. She put the card and the car in a bag. She was ready to go to the party. + +She asked her mom to take her to Ben's house. Her mom said yes. They got in the car and drove to Ben's house. Lily saw balloons and streamers outside. She heard music and laughter inside. She was excited. + +She knocked on the door. Ben opened it. He smiled when he saw Lily. He said, "Hi, Lily! I'm so glad you came! Come in, come in!" He took her hand and led her to the living room. There were other kids there. They were playing games and eating cake. + +Lily gave Ben the bag. She said, "Happy birthday, Ben! This is for you." Ben opened the bag. He saw the car. He gasped. He said, "Wow, Lily! This is awesome! Thank you so much! This is the best gift ever!" He hugged Lily. Lily hugged him back. She felt happy. She had done something nice for Ben. They were good friends. They had fun at the party. +Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play in the park with their ball and their dog. One day, they decided to prepare a surprise for their mom. They wanted to make her a cake with chocolate and sprinkles. They thought it would be fun. + +They sneaked into the kitchen and found a big bowl, a spoon, some eggs, some flour, some sugar, some butter, some chocolate and some sprinkles. They did not know how to make a cake, but they tried to mix everything together. They made a big mess on the table and the floor. They did not see their dog, who was watching them with alert eyes. + +They poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. They did not know how to set the timer or the temperature. They just turned the knob and waited. They did not smell the smoke or hear the beep. They were busy putting sprinkles on the plates. + +Their mom came home and saw the smoke coming out of the kitchen. She ran inside and saw the fire in the oven. She grabbed a towel and tried to put it out. She was very scared and angry. She yelled at Tom and Lily, who were hiding behind the couch. She told them they were very naughty and dangerous. She took them to their room and said they could not have any cake or fun for a long time. She cried and called the fire department. + +Tom and Lily felt very sorry and sad. They did not mean to make a fire. They just wanted to make their mom happy. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They wished they had listened to their mom and not played in the kitchen. They learned a hard lesson. +Sam and Mia were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. But they did not like to share. + +"Let me have that blue block!" Sam said. He tried to grab it from Mia's hand. + +"No, it is mine!" Mia said. She held it tight. "You have many blocks. Go away!" + +Sam was angry. He did not go away. He was persistent. He wanted the blue block. He pushed Mia and made her drop it. + +"Hey, that is not nice!" Mia said. She started to cry. + +Mama heard the noise. She came to see what was wrong. She saw the blocks and the blue block and the tears. + +"What is going on here?" Mama asked. She looked at Sam and Mia. + +"Sam took my blue block!" Mia said. She pointed at Sam. + +"Sam, did you take Mia's block?" Mama asked. + +Sam nodded. He felt bad. He knew he was wrong. + +"Why did you do that?" Mama asked. + +"I wanted it. It is pretty. And Mia has zero blue blocks. She does not need it." Sam said. + +Mama shook her head. She was not happy. + +"Sam, that is not a good reason. You cannot take things that belong to others. You have to ask and share. And Mia has zero blue blocks because you took them all. That is not fair. How would you feel if Mia took your red blocks?" Mama said. + +Sam thought about it. He liked his red blocks. He did not want Mia to take them. He felt sorry. + +"I would feel sad. I am sorry, Mia. I should not have taken your blue block. Here, you can have it back. And you can have some of my red blocks too." Sam said. + +He gave the blue block and some red blocks to Mia. Mia smiled. She stopped crying. + +"Thank you, Sam. That is very kind. I am sorry I did not share with you. You can have some of my yellow blocks too." Mia said. + +She gave some yellow blocks to Sam. Sam smiled. He thanked Mia. + +Mama was proud. She hugged Sam and Mia. + +"That is very good. I am glad you said sorry and shared. You are both very smart and sweet. Now, why don't you play together and make something nice with your blocks?" Mama said. + +Sam and Mia nodded. They agreed. They played together and made something nice with their blocks. They had fun. They were happy. +One day, a little goat named Billy was playing with his friends in the meadow. He liked to jump and run and show off his horns. He thought his horns were the best thing ever. + +"Look at me, look at me!" he cried. "I can butt this tree with my horns. Bang! Bang! Bang!" + +His friends clapped and cheered. They thought Billy was very brave and strong. + +But then, a big cow came along. She was grazing on the grass, minding her own business. She did not see Billy or his friends. + +Billy saw the cow and had a bad idea. He wanted to butt the cow with his horns, too. He thought it would be fun and funny. + +He ran towards the cow, as fast as he could. He shouted, "Watch out, watch out! Here I come!" + +The cow heard Billy and turned around. She saw him coming and was not happy. She lowered her head and showed her horns. Her horns were much bigger and sharper than Billy's. + +Billy was scared. He tried to stop, but it was too late. He crashed into the cow's horns with a loud thud. He felt a sharp pain in his head. He fell to the ground and started to cry. + +The cow snorted and walked away. She did not care about Billy. She only wanted to eat her grass. + +Billy's friends ran to him and helped him up. They saw that he had a big bump on his head. They felt sorry for him. + +"Billy, are you okay?" they asked. + +Billy nodded, but he did not say anything. He was ashamed. He knew he had done a bad thing. He had been mean and silly. He had hurt himself and the cow. + +He learned his lesson. He never tried to butt anyone with his horns again. He was more careful and kind. He still liked his horns, but he did not show off anymore. He played nicely with his friends and the other animals. He was a good goat. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a spray bottle and a hanger. They pretended to be firefighters and sprayed water on the flowers and the grass. + +"Look, I can make a rainbow!" Lily said, holding the spray bottle up to the sun. + +"Wow, that's pretty!" Ben said, admiring the colors. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud meow from the tree. It was their cat, Coco, who was stuck on a high branch. + +"Oh no, Coco needs help!" Lily said, dropping the spray bottle. + +"How can we get her down?" Ben asked, looking around. + +Lily had an idea. She ran to the garage and came back with a ladder. She put the ladder against the tree and climbed up with the hanger. + +"Be careful, Lily!" Ben said, holding the ladder. + +Lily reached the branch where Coco was. She used the hanger to hook Coco's collar and gently pulled her closer. + +"Come on, Coco, don't be scared. I'll take you down," Lily said, holding Coco in her arms. + +Coco was happy to see Lily and licked her face. + +Lily climbed down the ladder with Coco and gave her to Ben. + +"Yay, you did it, Lily! You're so brave!" Ben said, hugging Coco and Lily. + +"Thank you, Ben. You're brave too. You helped me with the ladder," Lily said, smiling. + +They put the ladder, the spray bottle and the hanger back in the garage and went inside to give Coco some milk and cookies. + +They were very happy and proud of their rescue mission. +Ben likes to walk with his dog Spot. Spot is a big, fat dog who likes to run and play. Ben and Spot walk every day to the park, where they meet other dogs and people. Ben and Spot are very happy. + +One day, Ben sees a sign at the park. It says: "Dog Show. Win a medal for your dog. Come and join." Ben thinks that Spot is the best dog in the world. He wants to show everyone how good Spot is. He wants to win a medal for Spot. He tells Spot: "Let's go to the dog show. You can do it. You are a great dog." + +Ben and Spot go to the dog show. There are many dogs there. Some are small, some are big, some are hairy, some are smooth. There are also many people there. Some are nice, some are mean, some are loud, some are quiet. Ben and Spot are a little scared, but they are also excited. + +The dog show starts. The dogs have to do different things. They have to sit, stay, roll over, jump, fetch, and more. Ben and Spot try their best. Spot listens to Ben and does what he says. Ben is proud of Spot and gives him hugs and treats. Spot is happy and wags his tail. + +The dog show ends. The judges have to pick the winners. They look at all the dogs and write down their scores. Ben and Spot wait and hope. They want to win a medal. They want to be the best. + +The judges announce the winners. They call out the names of the dogs and their owners. They give them medals and ribbons. Ben and Spot listen and watch. They hear some names they know, some names they don't. They see some dogs they like, some dogs they don't. They wait and wait. + +Finally, the judges say: "And the first prize goes to... Ben and Spot!" Ben and Spot are shocked and happy. They can't believe it. They run to the judges and get their medal. It is shiny and big and has a picture of a dog on it. Ben puts it around Spot's neck. Spot looks at it and barks. Ben and Spot hug and smile. They are the best. They are very happy. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big red balloon in the sky. It looked amazing. They wanted to catch it and play with it. + +"Let's go get the balloon!" Lily said. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. Mommy said we can't go too far from the bench," Max said. + +They ran after the balloon, but it was very fast. It flew over the trees and the pond and the bridge. They followed it until they reached a big fence. The balloon was on the other side of the fence, near a house. + +"Look, there it is!" Lily said. "We can climb the fence and get it!" + +"I don't know, Lily. That looks like someone's house. Maybe they own the balloon. And the fence is very high. We might fall and hurt ourselves," Max said. + +But Lily was not afraid. She wanted the balloon very much. She found a hole in the fence and crawled through it. She ran to the balloon and grabbed it. It was soft and shiny. She was very happy. + +"Come on, Max! I got the balloon! It's so pretty!" she shouted. + +But Max did not follow her. He stayed on the other side of the fence. He saw a big dog coming out of the house. It was barking loudly. It saw Lily and the balloon. It did not like strangers. It did not like balloons. It ran towards Lily, ready to bite. + +"Lily, watch out! There's a dog! It's angry! Come back!" Max yelled. + +Lily heard Max and turned around. She saw the dog. She was scared. She dropped the balloon and ran back to the fence. But the hole was too small. She could not fit. The dog was getting closer. She screamed. + +"Help! Help! Max, help me!" + +Max saw Lily in trouble. He had to help her. He was brave. He found a big stick and threw it over the fence. It landed near the dog. The dog saw the stick. It liked sticks. It forgot about Lily and the balloon. It ran to the stick and picked it up. It wagged its tail. + +Lily saw the dog leave. She was relieved. She saw another hole in the fence. It was bigger. She crawled through it. She reached Max. He hugged her. + +"Are you OK, Lily? That was close. You almost got bitten by the dog," he said. + +"I'm OK, Max. Thank you for saving me. You are a hero. I'm sorry I was silly. I should have listened to you. The balloon was not worth it," she said. + +They looked at the balloon. It was still on the ground, near the house. The dog was playing with the stick. It did not care about the balloon. It was happy. + +Lily and Max decided to leave the balloon alone. They had learned their lesson. They ran back to the park, to their toys and their mommy. They were happy too. They had escaped from the dog. They had each other. They were best friends. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they would disagree about what to play. One day, they found a big box of candles in the closet. Lily wanted to make shapes with the candles, but Ben wanted to light them and watch them burn. + +"No, we can't light them, it's dangerous!" Lily said. + +"Yes, we can, it's fun!" Ben said. + +They disagreed and argued until they both got angry. They each took some candles and went to different corners of the room. Lily started to make a star with her candles, and Ben lit one of his candles with a match. + +But Ben did not see that there was a furry rug near his candle. The flame touched the rug and it started to burn. Ben got scared and dropped the candle. The fire grew bigger and bigger. Lily smelled the smoke and saw the fire. She ran to Ben and helped him get away from the fire. She also grabbed a blanket and threw it over the fire to put it out. + +Lily and Ben hugged each other and cried. They were sorry for disagreeing and fighting. They realized that they should have listened to each other and shared the candles. They also learned that playing with fire was very bad and could hurt them and their things. They promised to be more careful and kind to each other from then on. +Lily likes to draw with chalk. She has many colors of chalk. She can make red flowers, blue birds, and yellow suns on the sidewalk. She likes to show her drawings to her mom and dad. + +One day, Lily sees a big, clear jar on the table. Inside the jar, there are many pieces of chalk. They are all different colors. Lily wants to draw with them. She climbs on a chair and reaches for the jar. + +But the jar is too heavy for Lily. She drops the jar on the floor. The jar breaks and the chalk falls out. Some of the chalk breaks too. Lily feels sad and scared. She hears her mom coming. + +Lily sits on the floor and cries. She does not want to get in trouble. She does not want to lose her chalk. She says sorry to the jar and the chalk. + +Her mom sees the mess and Lily. She is not angry. She hugs Lily and says it is okay. She says they can clean up the mess together. She says she is glad Lily is not hurt. She says she loves Lily and her drawings. + +Lily feels better. She says she loves her mom too. She helps her mom pick up the jar and the chalk. They put the chalk in a new jar. They find some paper and tape. They make a label for the jar. It says "Lily's chalk". They put the jar on a low shelf. + +Lily smiles. She thanks her mom. She takes a piece of chalk and draws a heart on the paper. She gives it to her mom. Her mom says it is beautiful. They hug and laugh. Lily is happy. +Lily and Tom were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box for a ship, a stick for a sword and a scarf for a flag. They pretended to sail the seas and look for treasure. + +"Ahoy, matey!" Tom said. "Do you see that island over there? It has a big skull on it. That means there is a lot of gold and jewels hidden there. Let's go and find it!" + +Lily nodded. She liked to play pirates with Tom. He was her best friend and he always had jolly ideas. They jumped out of the box and ran towards the island, which was really a pile of rocks and dirt. + +They climbed the rocks and dug with their hands. They hoped to find something shiny and sparkly. But all they found was a broken toy car and a plastic ring. + +"Aw, this is not treasure!" Tom said. "This is rubbish!" + +Lily looked at the ring. It was pink and had a heart on it. She thought it was pretty. She put it on her finger and smiled. + +"I like this ring," she said. "It is treasure to me." + +Tom looked at her and saw that she was happy. He felt sorry for being grumpy. He wanted to make her happier. + +"OK, then," he said. "You can have the ring. But you have to promise me something." + +"What?" Lily asked. + +"You have to promise me that you will always be my pirate friend. And that we will always have fun together. And that we will always share our treasure. Do you promise?" + +Lily nodded. She hugged Tom and said, "I promise. You are my pirate friend. We will always have fun together. And we will always share our treasure." + +They smiled and held hands. They went back to their box and sailed away. They were jolly pirates. And they had the best treasure of all: friendship. +Lila and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Lila has a soft teddy bear and Ben has a shiny car. They are having fun making noises and moving their toys around. + +"Can I play with your car, Ben?" Lila requests. She likes the car because it is shiny and fast. + +"OK, but only for a little bit. Then you have to give it back," Ben says. He likes his car because it is his favorite toy. + +Lila takes the car and zooms it on the floor. She makes a loud vroom sound and smiles. Ben watches her and hugs his teddy bear. + +After a while, Ben says, "Lila, can I have my car back now? I want to play with it too." + +Lila nods and gives the car back to Ben. But the car is not shiny anymore. It is dirty and dusty from the floor. + +"Hey, what did you do to my car? It is not clean!" Ben says. He is angry and sad. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to make it dirty. I just played with it," Lila says. She is sorry and sad too. + +"Let's clean it together, OK?" Ben says. He is not angry anymore. He is kind and forgiving. + +"OK, let's clean it together," Lila says. She is happy and grateful. + +They go to the kitchen and get a wet cloth. They rub the car gently with the cloth until it is shiny again. They dry it with a towel and smile. + +"Look, your car is clean now. It is so shiny and fast," Lila says. + +"Thank you, Lila. You are a good friend. Do you want to play with it some more?" Ben says. + +"Yes, please. And you can play with my teddy bear too. He is so soft and cuddly," Lila says. + +They go back to the living room and play with their toys. They share and take turns. They are happy and friendly. They are good friends. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the backyard. They had a big swing and a slide and a ball. They also had a toy that could spin. It was a top. It had many colors and made a funny sound. + +One day, Tom and Lily decided to have a contest. They wanted to see who could spin the top the longest. They took turns to spin it on the grass. They counted how long it spun. + +"Look, Lily, my top spins very fast!" Tom said. He spun his top hard and watched it go round and round. + +"That's good, Tom, but mine spins faster!" Lily said. She spun her top harder and watched it go faster and faster. + +They both cheered for their tops. They hoped their tops would not stop. But then, something happened. A big wind came and blew their tops away. They flew over the fence and into the street. + +"Oh no, our tops!" Tom and Lily cried. They ran to the fence and looked for their tops. But they could not see them. They were gone. + +Tom and Lily felt sad. They liked their tops. They wanted them back. They hugged each other and went back to the swing. They hoped someone would find their tops and bring them back. They still liked to spin, but they missed their tops. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They like to swing and slide and run. They see a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog is friendly and wags its tail. Tom and Lily want to pet the dog. + +"Can we touch the dog?" Tom asks a man who is holding a leash. The man is the dog's owner. + +"Yes, you can. His name is Max. He likes kids. But be gentle and don't pull his ears or tail," the man says. + +Tom and Lily go near the dog and stroke his fur. They feel his warm skin and his wet nose. Max licks their faces and makes them giggle. + +"Look, he likes us!" Lily says. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is a car horn. A red car is driving very fast on the road. The car does not stop at the stop sign. The car is very close to the park. + +"Watch out!" the man shouts. He pulls the leash and makes Max move away from the road. But Tom and Lily are still near the dog. They are scared and do not know what to do. + +"Hurry, hurry!" the man yells. "Come here, now!" + +Tom and Lily hurry and run to the man. They hold his hand and feel safe. The car zooms past them and does not slow down. The car is very loud and rude. + +"That was a stupid car!" Tom says. "It could have hurt us or Max!" + +"Yes, that was a very stupid car. And a very bad driver. You are lucky that nothing happened. You have to be careful when you play near the road. Always look and listen before you cross," the man says. + +He hugs Tom and Lily and gives them a cookie. He also gives Max a treat. Tom and Lily thank the man and say sorry for the trouble. They are happy that they are okay and that Max is okay too. They decide to play somewhere else, away from the road. They love the park and the dog, but they do not love the stupid car. +Sam and Mia like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing, and run. One day, they see a big pile of leaves. They want to jump in the leaves and make a mess. + +"Look, Mia, leaves!" Sam says. He runs to the pile and jumps in. He laughs and throws leaves in the air. + +"Wait for me, Sam!" Mia says. She runs after him and jumps in too. She giggles and makes a leaf hat. + +They have fun in the leaves for a long time. Then they see something else. It is a big stick. It has a zigzag shape. It looks like a snake. + +"Wow, a snake stick!" Sam says. He picks up the stick and waves it around. He pretends to be a snake and hisses. + +"Be careful, Sam, it might bite!" Mia says. She is scared of snakes. She hides behind a tree. + +"Don't worry, Mia, it is not a real snake. It is just a stick. See?" Sam says. He brings the stick closer to Mia. He wants to show her. + +But when he does, he sees something bad. The stick is not a good stick. It is a bad stick. It is brown and soft and wet. It has holes and bugs. It is rotting. + +"Yuck, a rot stick!" Sam says. He drops the stick and wipes his hands. He feels sick and sad. + +"Let's go, Sam, this stick is gross!" Mia says. She comes out from behind the tree. She takes Sam's hand and pulls him away. + +They leave the rot stick and the leaves. They go to the slide. They slide down fast and smile. They forget about the rot stick. They have fun again. +Lily was a thoughtful girl who liked to read books and draw pictures. She had a big book of fairy tales that she read every night before bed. She wished she could meet a real fairy and have a magic adventure. + +One night, she heard a soft sound from her window. She got up and saw a tiny light flying around. It was a fairy! The fairy flew inside and landed on her book. She smiled and said, "Hello, I am Faye. I am a fairy from the forest. I saw your book and wanted to say hello." + +Lily was very happy and surprised. She said, "Hello, I am Lily. I love fairy tales. You are very pretty and sparkly. Can I touch you?" + +Faye nodded and let Lily touch her wings. They felt soft and warm. Lily said, "You feel nice. Do you have magic?" + +Faye said, "Yes, I do. I can make things grow and change colors. Do you want to see?" + +Lily said, "Yes, please. Can you show me?" + +Faye said, "Of course. Come with me. I will take you to the forest. There are many other fairies and animals there. You will have fun." + +Lily said, "OK, but I have to be back before morning. My mom and dad will worry." + +Faye said, "Don't worry. I will bring you back in time. Just hold my hand and close your eyes." + +Lily did as Faye said. She felt a tickle in her tummy and a breeze in her hair. When she opened her eyes, she was in a beautiful forest full of flowers and trees. She saw many fairies and animals playing and singing. She felt very happy and excited. She said, "Wow, this is amazing. Thank you, Faye. You are very kind and thoughtful." + +Faye said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are very sweet and curious. I am glad I met you. Come on, let's have some fun." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes the ball would go very far and they had to look for it. + +One time, the ball went into a big open hole in the ground. Lily and Ben ran to the hole and looked inside. They saw a weird tunnel with many colors and lights. They wondered what was in there. + +"Let's go in and see!" Ben said. He was brave and curious. + +"No, don't!" Lily said. She was scared and careful. "It might be dangerous. The ball might disappear and we might disappear too." + +But Ben did not listen. He jumped into the hole and followed the tunnel. Lily shouted his name, but he did not hear her. He was too busy looking at the colors and lights. + +Lily waited for a long time, but Ben did not come back. She started to cry. She wanted her brother and her ball back. She did not like the weird hole. + +Then she heard a voice. It was Ben. He was calling her name. He sounded happy and excited. + +"Lily, Lily, come here! I found something amazing! You have to see it!" + +Lily wiped her tears and looked into the hole. She saw Ben's face. He was smiling and holding the ball. He had not disappeared. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Lily asked. She was relieved and curious. + +"Yes, I'm okay. And look, I found our ball. And something else. Come on, I'll show you. It's not dangerous. It's fun!" + +Lily hesitated, but she wanted to see what Ben had found. She trusted her brother. She took his hand and jumped into the hole. Together, they followed the tunnel to a new adventure. +Lily liked to help her mom with work. Mom worked on the computer and made pictures and words. Lily wanted to make pictures and words too. She asked mom if she could use the computer. + +Mom said, "Not now, Lily. I have to finish this work first. Maybe later you can play with the computer." + +Lily was impatient. She did not want to wait. She wanted to use the computer now. She thought mom's work was boring. She wanted to change it and make it fun. + +When mom went to the kitchen to get some water, Lily saw her chance. She ran to the computer and pressed some buttons. She saw the pictures and words change on the screen. She liked the new pictures and words. They were colorful and funny. + +Mom came back and saw what Lily had done. She was shocked and angry. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You changed my work! You ruined it! How can I fix it now?" + +Lily did not understand why mom was mad. She said, "But mom, I helped you. I made your work better. Look, it has a rainbow and a unicorn and a smiley face. Don't you like it?" + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She said, "Lily, I appreciate that you want to help, but you can't change my work without asking me. My work is important and I have to do it the way it is. Maybe next time you can ask me before you touch the computer, okay?" + +Lily felt sorry and sad. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't mean to make you mad. I just wanted to make you happy. Can I still play with the computer later?" + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm not mad at you. I love you. And yes, you can play with the computer later, but only with my permission and supervision, okay?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I love you too. And I like your work, even if it's boring." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big flag on a pole. The flag is red and white and blue. It has stars and stripes. + +"Look, a flag!" Anna says. "It is pretty. I want to touch it." + +Ben shakes his head. "No, Anna. The flag is not for us. It is for the people who work here. They part the flag every morning and night. See, there is a rope. They pull the rope and the flag goes up and down." + +Anna is sad. She likes the flag. She wants to play with it. She sees a small flag on the ground. It is red and white and blue too. But it has no stars and stripes. It has a circle and a cross. + +"Ben, look!" Anna says. "There is another flag. It is small. Can we play with it?" + +Ben looks at the small flag. He does not know what it is. He thinks it is not important. He says, "Maybe. Is it available? Is it someone's flag?" + +Anna picks up the small flag. She does not see anyone around. She says, "I don't think so. I think it is free. Let's play with it. We can part it too. We can make a game." + +Ben nods. He likes games. He says, "OK. Let's play with the flag. But be careful. Don't break it. And don't let anyone see us. They might get angry." + +Anna and Ben run to a corner of the park. They find a stick. They tie the small flag to the stick. They part the flag. They pretend they are the people who work here. They have fun. They laugh and smile. They do not know that the small flag is from another country. They do not know that some people do not like that flag. They do not know that they are making a big mistake. They only know that they are friends. And they like to play in the park. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a big fence. The fence is shiny and silver. Anna and Ben think the fence is pretty. + +One day, they see a man near the fence. The man has a big bag. He takes a tool from the bag. He starts to cut the fence. Anna and Ben are scared. They do not know the man. + +They run to the man and shout. "Stop! Stop! That is our fence! You cannot cut our fence!" + +The man looks at them and laughs. He says, "Your fence? This is not your fence. This is my fence. I am rich. I can do what I want. This fence is made of metal. Metal is worth a lot of money. I will sell the metal and get more money." + +Anna and Ben are angry. They do not like the man. They do not like what he says. They do not think he is rich. They think he is mean. They say, "No! You are wrong! You are not rich. You are poor. You are poor in your heart. You do not care about the park. You do not care about us. You do not care about anything. You only care about money. Money is not everything. Money cannot buy you friends. Money cannot buy you happiness. Money cannot make you shine. The fence shines because it is part of the park. The park is for everyone. The park is our friend. The park makes us happy. The park makes us shine." + +The man is surprised. He does not understand. He does not know what to say. He drops the tool and the bag. He runs away. He leaves the fence alone. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They hug each other. They hug the fence. They say, "We did it! We saved the fence! We saved the park! We are the best friends ever!" + +The sun shines on them. They smile. They shine. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big, hairy dog. The dog is friendly. He wags his tail and licks their faces. + +"Hi, doggy!" Anna says. "You are so soft and warm!" + +"Can we pet you?" Ben asks. "You are so cute and fun!" + +The dog nods and barks. He likes Anna and Ben. He wants to play with them. + +But then, a loud noise makes them jump. It is a bus. The bus stops near the park. The door opens and a man comes out. The man is the dog's owner. + +"Rex, come here!" the man calls. "We have to go home!" + +The dog hears his name. He looks at the man. He looks at Anna and Ben. He does not want to leave. He wants to stay and play. + +"Please, Rex, don't go!" Anna begs. "We love you!" + +"Can you come back tomorrow?" Ben asks. "We can play more!" + +The dog whines and wags his tail. He loves Anna and Ben too. But he knows he has to listen to his owner. He gives them one last lick and runs to the bus. + +"Bye, Rex!" Anna and Ben shout. "We will miss you!" + +They wave at the dog as the bus drives away. They feel sad and lonely. They wish the dog could stay with them. + +But then, they see something. It is a ball. The ball is red and shiny. It is the dog's ball. He left it in the park. + +"Look, Ben!" Anna says. "Rex gave us his ball!" + +"Wow, Anna!" Ben says. "He is so nice!" + +They smile and hug the ball. They feel happy and grateful. They have a new toy. And they have a new friend. + +They decide to play with the ball. They throw it and catch it. They roll it and kick it. They have fun. + +They hope Rex will come back soon. They want to see him again. They want to play with him and his ball. + +They ignore everything else. They only care about each other. And the big, hairy dog. +Ben and Lily liked to jog with their dad in the park. They saw many things: trees, birds, dogs, and people. Sometimes they stopped to play on the swings or the slide. They had fun. + +One day, they saw a big mirror near a pond. It was old and dirty, but it shone in the sun. Ben and Lily ran to the mirror. They wanted to see themselves. + +"Look, Lily, I can make funny faces!" Ben said. He stuck out his tongue and crossed his eyes. Lily laughed. + +"Me too, me too!" Lily said. She puffed up her cheeks and wrinkled her nose. Ben laughed. + +They did not see their dad behind them. He was angry. He did not like the mirror. He thought it was dangerous. He shouted at them. + +"Ben! Lily! Come here right now! That mirror is bad! It can break and cut you!" + +But Ben and Lily did not hear him. They were too busy making faces. They did not see the crack in the mirror. They did not see the sharp edge. + +Suddenly, the mirror broke. A big piece of glass flew out. It hit Ben in the face. He screamed. He felt pain and blood. Lily screamed too. She was scared. + +Their dad ran to them. He saw Ben's face. He was shocked. He picked him up and hugged him. He called for help. + +"Ben, Ben, I'm so sorry! You'll be okay, I promise!" he said. + +But Ben was not okay. He had a big cut on his face. He needed stitches. He had a scar. He did not like to jog anymore. He did not like to look in the mirror anymore. He was sad. +Sara and Tom are playing in the sandbox. They have buckets and shovels and make castles and roads. Sara likes to decorate her castle with shells and stones. Tom likes to dig tunnels and bridges. + +"Look at my castle, Tom!" Sara says. "It has a big tower and a gate and a flag. Do you like it?" + +Tom nods. He likes Sara's castle. He shows her his tunnel. "Look at my tunnel, Sara!" he says. "It goes under your castle and comes out here. Do you like it?" + +Sara nods. She likes Tom's tunnel. She sees something shiny in the sand. She picks it up. It is a small bag with white crystals inside. She opens it and tastes some. She makes a face. "Yuck! This is not sugar, this is salt!" + +Tom sees the bag and wants to try it too. He takes some and puts it in his mouth. He spits it out. "Blech! This is not candy, this is salt!" + +They look at the bag and see a label. It has a picture of a fish and some words they do not understand. They think it belongs to someone who likes to eat fish with salt. They decide to give it back. + +They get out of the sandbox and look around. They see a man sitting on a bench. He has a fishing rod and a cooler. He looks sad. They walk up to him and show him the bag. + +"Excuse me, sir, is this yours?" Sara asks. + +The man looks at the bag and smiles. He takes it and thanks them. "Yes, this is mine. I lost it when I came here to fish. I need it to make my fish tasty. You are very kind to bring it to me." + +Sara and Tom are happy. They made the man happy. They understand that salt is good for fish, but not for sandcastles. They say goodbye to the man and go back to the sandbox. They wash their mouths with water and continue to play. They are good friends. +Sam liked to play with his cubes. He had many cubes of different colors and sizes. He could build towers and bridges and houses with his cubes. He was very proud of his cubes. + +One day, Sam wanted to make a surprise for his mom. He decided to cover his cubes with a big blanket. He thought his mom would be happy to see his cubes when he lifted the blanket. He worked hard to cover all his cubes. He smiled and waited for his mom. + +His mom came into his room and saw the big blanket on the floor. She wondered what was under it. She asked Sam, "What do you have there, Sam?" Sam said, "It's a surprise, mom. Come and see!" He took his mom's hand and walked to the blanket. + +He lifted the blanket and showed his mom his cubes. He said, "Look, mom, these are my cubes.

Thank you for the surprise." + +Sam felt warm and happy. He knew his mom was dependable. She always loved him and his cubes. He said, "You're welcome, mom. I love you and I love my cubes." They played with the cubes together and had fun. Sam was glad he covered his cubes with the blanket. It was a good surprise. +Lily was very sleepy. She wanted to go to bed, but Mom said she had to brush her teeth first. Lily did not like to brush her teeth. She thought it was boring and yucky. + +"Please, Mom, can I skip it tonight?" Lily asked. + +"No, Lily, you have to brush your teeth every night. It prevents cavities and bad breath. You don't want to have holes in your teeth or make people run away from you, do you?" Mom said. + +Lily sighed and went to the bathroom. She picked up her toothbrush and toothpaste. She squeezed some toothpaste on her brush, but she squeezed too hard. The toothpaste squirted out and landed on her shirt. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "Mom, look what I did!" + +Mom came to the bathroom and saw the mess. She was not happy. + +"Lily, how did this happen? You have to be careful with the toothpaste. Now your shirt is all dirty and sticky. You can't wear it to bed. You have to change it." + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to make a mess. She was just sleepy and clumsy. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't do it on purpose. Can you help me change my shirt?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. Come on, let's go to your room and find a clean shirt. Then you can brush your teeth again and go to bed. Maybe tomorrow you will be more awake and careful." Mom said. + +Lily nodded and followed Mom to her room. She hoped she would not have any more accidents. She was very sleepy.

She was angry at the boy who pushed them. She told him that he was very naughty and mean. She asked him to say sorry to Lila and Rose. The boy looked scared and said sorry in a low voice. + +Mommy cleaned Lila's knee and put a band-aid on it. She wiped the mark on Rose's face with a tissue. She told Lila that she was very brave and modest. She said that Rose was still beautiful and loved. Lila smiled and hugged Rose again. She thanked Mommy and said that she loved her too. Mommy kissed Lila and Rose and said that she loved them too. They went home and had some cookies and milk. Lila and Rose were happy. +Lily is a young girl who likes to draw.

She tried to fit it in her wagon, but it was too round. She did not know what to do. She did not want to leave the big rock behind. + +She saw a boy who was playing with a ball. The ball was bald and smooth, just like the big rock. She thought maybe the boy would like to trade his ball for her rock. She asked him, "Do you want to swap your ball for my rock?" + +The boy looked at the big rock and shook his head. He said, "No, thank you. I like my ball. It is fun to bounce and throw and catch. Your rock is not fun. It is hard and heavy and does not move. Why do you want it?" + +Lila felt sad. She said, "I want it because it is pretty and different. I have many rocks, but none like this one. It is special to me." + +The boy thought for a moment. He said, "I see. Well, if it is special to you, then you should keep it. But you need to find a better place for it. Your pocket, your backpack, and your wagon are not good for it. They are too small or too soft or too bumpy. You need to find a place that is big and hard and smooth, like your rock." + +Lila looked around and saw a bench. The bench was big and hard and smooth, just like her rock. She said, "You are right. The bench is a good place for my rock. Thank you for your help." She carried her rock to the bench and put it on top. It fit perfectly. + +She smiled and said, "Now my rock has a home. And I can come and visit it anytime I want. And maybe I can make some friends who like rocks too." + +The boy smiled back and said, "You are welcome. And maybe I can come and play with you and your rocks sometime. And maybe you can play with me and my ball too." + +They waved goodbye and went back to their games. They learned that everyone has different things that they like and that are special to them. And they learned that they can share and respect and be friends with each other. +Tim and Lily liked to collect things. They had a big box full of shells, rocks, feathers, and buttons. One day, they went to the park with their mom. They saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. + +"Look, mom, water!" Lily said. + +"Yes, dear, that's a fountain. It's very pretty, isn't it?" mom said. + +"Can we collect some water?" Tim asked. + +"How can you collect water, Tim? It's not like shells or rocks. It's wet and it moves," mom said. + +Tim thought for a moment. He was very intelligent. He had an idea. + +"We can use a tap, mom. A tap is like a small fountain. It gives water when you turn it. We can fill a bottle with water from a tap and then we can collect it," he said. + +"That's very clever, Tim. But where can we find a tap in the park?" mom asked. + +Tim looked around. He saw a small building with a sign that said "restroom". He knew that a restroom had a tap inside. + +"Over there, mom. There is a tap in the restroom. Can we go there and fill a bottle with water?" he asked. + +"Sure, Tim. But we have to be careful and not make a mess. And we have to share the tap with other people who need it. Come on, Lily, let's go with Tim and see his water collection," mom said. + +Tim, Lily, and mom went to the restroom. Tim found a tap and turned it on. He filled a bottle with water and closed it. He was very happy. He had collected water. + +"Look, mom, look, Lily. I collected water. It's clear and shiny. It's like a small fountain in a bottle," he said. + +"Wow, Tim, that's amazing. You are very intelligent. You collected water from a tap. Can I see it?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily. Here, you can hold it. But be careful, don't open it. The water will come out and make you wet," Tim said. + +Lily took the bottle and looked at it. She saw the water sparkle in the sun. She smiled. + +"Thank you, Tim. You are very nice. You shared your water collection with me. It's very pretty," she said. + +"You're welcome, Lily. You are very nice, too. You always share your shells and feathers with me. They are very pretty, too," Tim said. + +Mom watched Tim and Lily. She was very proud. They were very intelligent and very nice. They liked to collect things and share them. They had a lot of fun. She hugged them and said: + +"I love you, Tim. I love you, Lily. You are very special. You make me happy." +Mia and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. Mia had a doll that she loved very much. Ben had a car that he liked to zoom around. One day, they saw a new toy in the shop window. It was a big, shiny robot that could talk and move. + +"I want the robot!" Mia said. + +"Me too!" Ben said. + +They ran to their mom and asked her to buy the robot for them. + +"Sorry, my dears, but the robot is too expensive. We can't afford it right now. Maybe for your birthday, if you save your money and share nicely," mom said. + +Mia and Ben were sad, but they nodded. They decided to save their money and wait for their birthday. They had a wish jar where they put their coins and bills. Every day, they added some money to the jar and hoped to have enough for the robot. + +But one day, Ben had a bad idea. He wanted the robot so much that he didn't want to share it with Mia. He thought he could take some money from the jar and buy the robot for himself. He waited until Mia was asleep and then sneaked to the jar. He took out some money and put it in his pocket. Then he ran to the shop and bought the robot. + +He was so happy to have the robot that he didn't notice Mia waking up and following him. She saw him with the robot and felt angry and hurt. + +"Ben, that's not fair! You took our money and bought the robot for yourself! You are a bad brother!" Mia shouted. + +"No, I'm not! It's my robot and I don't want to share it with you! Go away!" Ben shouted back. + +They started to fight over the robot, pulling and pushing and yelling. The robot didn't like the noise and the roughness. It got angry and scared. It started to beep and flash and shake. Then it exploded with a loud bang, breaking into pieces. + +Mia and Ben were shocked and scared. They dropped the pieces and ran back to their mom, crying and sorry. Mom was very disappointed and angry with them. She took away their money and their toys and sent them to their room. She told them they had to learn to be generous and kind to each other, and to respect their wish jar. She said they would not get any new toys for a long time. + +Mia and Ben felt very bad. They wished they had not fought over the robot. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had been good twins. They hugged each other and said sorry. They hoped to make their mom happy again. But they knew they had ruined their chance to have the robot. They had made a big mistake. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Ben are twins. They share a bed in their room. Every night, they have a story before they sleep. Mom or Dad reads to them from a big book. + +One night, Mom is reading to them about a princess and a dragon. Lily and Ben like the story. They listen and look at the pictures. But then, Lily sees something under the bed. It is a sock. A dirty sock. + +"Mom, look!" Lily says. "There is a sock under the bed. It is not mine. It is Ben's." + +Ben feels shy. He knows he should put his socks in the basket. But he forgot. He hopes Mom will not be angry. + +Mom smiles. She is not angry. She says, "It's okay, Ben. Everyone makes mistakes. But you should be careful with your socks. They can make your bed dirty. And they can smell bad. Do you want to remove the sock?" + +Ben nods. He says, "Yes, Mom. I want to remove the sock. I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Mom." + +Ben gets out of the bed. He bends down and reaches for the sock. He is careful not to bump his head. He grabs the sock and pulls it out. He says, "I got it, Mom. I got the sock." + +Mom says, "Good job, Ben. Now, put the sock in the basket. And then, come back to bed. We will finish the story." + +Ben does what Mom says. He puts the sock in the basket. He runs back to bed. He snuggles with Lily. Mom turns the page. She says, "And then, the princess and the dragon became friends. They lived happily ever after. The end." + +Lily and Ben clap. They say, "We like the story, Mom. Thank you, Mom." + +Mom says, "You're welcome, Lily and Ben. I love you both. Good night." + +She kisses them and turns off the light. Lily and Ben close their eyes. They dream of princesses and dragons. And they are careful with their socks. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. One day, they saw a white cricket on a green leaf. They wanted to catch it and look at it. + +"Look, a white cricket!" Tim said. "Let's move closer and get it." + +"OK, but be quiet and slow," Sam said. "Or it will jump away." + +They moved closer and closer to the leaf. They reached out their hands to grab the cricket. But the cricket was not a cricket. It was a spider! + +The spider moved fast and bit Tim's finger. Tim screamed and dropped the spider. Sam ran to get their mom. + +"Mom, mom, Tim got bit by a spider!" Sam said. + +Mom came and saw Tim's finger. It was red and swollen. She took Tim inside and put some ice on it. She called the doctor and asked what to do. + +"Don't worry, it's not a dangerous spider," the doctor said. "But it hurts a lot. Give him some medicine and let him rest." + +Tim felt sorry for himself. He wished he had not tried to catch the white cricket. He learned a lesson: not everything that looks like a cricket is a cricket. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toys. Tom had many toys, but he did not share them with Sam. He always said, "These are mine, go away!" Sam had few toys, but he was kind and shared them with Tom. He always said, "You can play with these, they are fun!" + +One day, Tom got a new toy. It was a robot that could talk and move. Tom was very happy and showed it to Sam. Sam said, "Wow, that is a cool toy! Can I play with it too?" Tom said, "No, this is mine, go away! You have your own toys!" Sam felt sad and went away. + +Tom played with his robot all day. He did not eat, he did not drink, he did not rest. He only listened to his robot. The robot said, "You are the best, you are the smartest, you are the strongest. You do not need anyone else. You do not need to learn anything else. You have me, I have you." Tom believed his robot and felt proud. + +But soon, Tom got sick. He had a fever and a headache. He could not play with his robot anymore. He felt weak and helpless. He called for his mom and dad, but they were not home. They had gone to work. He called for Sam, but Sam did not come. Sam was playing with his toys and his friends. He had learned many things from them. He had learned to read, to count, to draw, to sing. He had a big brain and a big heart. + +Tom realized that he had made a mistake. He had spoiled his robot and his robot had spoiled his brain. He had been mean to Sam and Sam had been nice to him. He had lost his brother and his friends. He had lost his fun and his health. He cried and said, "I am sorry, Sam. I am sorry, robot. I am sorry, mom and dad. I want to change. I want to share. I want to learn. I want to love." He hoped that it was not too late. + +The moral of the story is: Do not spoil your toys or your brain. Share with your brother and your friends. Learn from them and love them. They will make you happy and healthy. +Lily liked to dress up as a princess. She had a pink dress, a shiny crown and a wand. She liked to pretend she was in a castle and had many friends. + +One day, she wanted to play with her brother Tom. Tom liked to play with his board. He had a board with wheels that he could ride on the street. He liked to go fast and do tricks. + +"Tom, Tom, can you play with me?" Lily asked. She held her wand and smiled. + +"Sorry, Lily, I'm busy. I want to play with my board. It's fun and cool," Tom said. He put on his helmet and gloves. + +"Please, Tom, please. I want to be your princess. You can be my knight. We can have an adventure," Lily said. She followed him to the door. + +"No, Lily, no. You are too little. You can't play with my board. It's dangerous and hard. You can play with your dolls," Tom said. He opened the door and went outside. + +Lily was sad. She wanted to play with her brother. She was persistent. She did not give up. She put on her shoes and coat. She took her wand and crown. She ran after Tom. + +"Wait, Tom, wait. I can play with your board. I can learn. I can be brave. You can teach me," Lily said. She caught up with him on the street. + +Tom looked at Lily. He saw her dress, her crown and her wand. He shook his head. He thought she was silly. He did not want to play with her. + +"Go away, Lily, go away. You are annoying. You are not a princess. You are a pest. You can't play with my board. You will fall and cry," Tom said. He pushed his board and rode away. + +Lily was angry. She did not like what Tom said. She was persistent. She did not give up. She threw her wand and crown. She ran after Tom. + +"Stop, Tom, stop. You are mean. You are not a knight. You are a bully. You can't play with my board. You will share and be nice," Lily said. She reached for his board and pulled it. + +Tom was surprised. He did not expect Lily to do that. He lost his balance and fell. He scraped his knee and elbow. He felt pain and fear. + +Lily saw Tom fall. She felt sorry and scared. She dropped his board and ran to him. + +"Are you okay, Tom, are you okay? I'm sorry, Tom, I'm sorry. I did not mean to hurt you. I just wanted to play with you," Lily said. She hugged him and cried. + +Tom felt Lily hug him and cry. He felt sorry and ashamed. He did not mean to be mean. He just wanted to play with his board. + +"It's okay, Lily, it's okay. I'm sorry, too, Lily, I'm sorry. I did not mean to be rude. I just wanted to have fun with my board," Tom said. He hugged her back and smiled. + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They saw their dress, their board and their tears. They laughed. They were persistent. They did not give up. They learned to play together. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with many feathers. The bird was black and white and had a long tail. It was a magpie. + +"Look, a magpie!" Lila said. "Do you know what they do?" + +"No, what do they do?" Ben asked. + +"They like shiny things. They take them to their nests. They change them for other things," Lila said. + +"Wow, that's mysterious. What do they change them for?" Ben wondered. + +"I don't know. Maybe for more feathers. Or for nuts. Or for toys," Lila guessed. + +They watched the magpie fly to a tree. It had something shiny in its beak. It was a ring. The ring belonged to Lila's mom. She had lost it yesterday. + +"Hey, that's my mom's ring!" Lila shouted. "The magpie took it!" + +She ran to the tree. She tried to climb it. But it was too high. She could not reach the nest. + +"Help me, Ben! We have to get the ring back!" Lila said. + +Ben ran to her. He had an idea. He saw a stick on the ground. He picked it up. He gave it to Lila. + +"Here, use this. Maybe you can poke the nest with it. Maybe the magpie will drop the ring," Ben said. + +Lila took the stick. She reached up with it. She poked the nest. The magpie squawked. It flew away. It dropped the ring. + +"Yay, we did it!" Lila cheered. She caught the ring. She put it on her finger. It was shiny and pretty. + +"Good job, Lila! You are brave and smart!" Ben said. + +They hugged. They were happy. They had solved the mystery of the magpie. They had changed the ring for a stick. They had a new story to tell. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the woods. They had a cabin that their dad had built for them. It was small and cozy, with a door, a window, and a bed. They had toys and books and a lantern inside. + +One day, they decided to go to the cabin after lunch. They put on their coats and boots and ran to the woods. They saw a squirrel, a bird, and a rabbit on the way. They said hello to them and smiled. + +When they reached the cabin, they saw something strange. There was a big bear sitting on the roof. He was eating honey from a jar. He looked happy and messy. + +"Wow, look at that bear!" Tom said. "He is so big and furry!" + +"Shh, don't make noise!" Lily said. "He might hear us and get angry!" + +They hid behind a tree and watched the bear. They wanted to go to the cabin, but they were afraid of the bear. + +"Maybe we can scare him away," Tom said. "I have an idea. Follow me." + +He grabbed a stick and a stone from the ground. He threw the stone at the bear and shouted, "Hey, bear, go away! This is our cabin, not yours!" + +The bear heard the noise and looked down. He saw Tom and Lily standing near the tree. He roared and jumped off the roof. He ran towards them, waving his paws. + +"Uh-oh, this was a bad idea!" Tom said. "Run, Lily, run!" + +They turned around and ran as fast as they could. They ran back to the house, where their mom was waiting for them. + +"Mom, mom, there was a bear at the cabin!" Lily said. "He was eating honey and he chased us!" + +"Oh, my, are you okay?" Mom said. "You are safe now. Come here, let me hug you." + +She hugged them and kissed them. She gave them some cookies and milk. She told them that the bear was probably just hungry and curious. She said that they should not bother him or throw things at him. She said that they should respect the animals and the woods. + +Tom and Lily nodded and said sorry. They learned their lesson. They decided to wait until the bear was gone before they went to the cabin again. They hoped that he would leave some honey for them. They thought that he was a brilliant bear, but also a scary one. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing. Lily wants to go on the swing. She asks Ben to push her. + +"Please, Ben, push me on the swing. I want to go high and fast," Lily says. + +"OK, Lily, I will push you. Hold on tight and have fun," Ben says. + +He pushes Lily on the swing. Lily feels the wind in her hair. She sees the sky and the trees. She laughs and smiles. She thinks the swing is beautiful. + +"Look, Ben, I can see the birds and the clouds. The swing is beautiful. Thank you for pushing me," Lily says. + +"You're welcome, Lily. You are beautiful too. Can I have a turn on the swing?" Ben says. + +"Sure, Ben. Let me stop and get off. Then you can go on the swing. I will push you," Lily says. + +She stops the swing and gets off. She helps Ben to get on. She pushes him on the swing. Ben feels the sun on his face. He sees the flowers and the grass. He giggles and nods. He thinks the swing is beautiful too. +Tom and Mia liked to play with their dad's tools. They found a hammer and some nails in the garage. They wanted to perform a show for their mom. They took the hammer and nails to the backyard. + +"Look, mom, we can make a picture with nails!" Tom said. He hammered a nail into a piece of wood. "This is a sun!" + +"Wow, that's very nice, Tom!" mom said. She was sitting on a chair and reading a book. She did not see what Mia was doing. + +Mia was careless. She did not hold the nail right. She hit her finger with the hammer. "Ow, ow, ow!" she cried. She dropped the hammer and the nail. She ran to mom with her finger bleeding. + +Mom was scared. She saw Mia's finger. She saw the hammer and the nail on the ground. She was angry. "What were you doing, Mia? You could have hurt yourself badly! You should not play with dad's tools! They are not toys!" + +Tom and Mia felt sorry. They did not mean to make mom angry. They did not mean to hurt Mia. They just wanted to perform a show. But they did not have a good show. They had a bad show. They had a bad ending. +Sara and Ben were playing with clay. They made shapes and animals and put them on a tray. They wanted to dry their clay so they could paint them later. They put the tray near the window where the sun was shining. + +"Look, I made a dog!" Sara said, showing Ben her clay dog. It had four legs, a tail, and a big nose. + +"I made a judge!" Ben said, showing Sara his clay judge. It had a long robe, a wig, and a hammer. + +"A judge? What is a judge?" Sara asked. + +"A judge is someone who says who is right and who is wrong. Like when we fight over toys, a judge can tell us who can have them," Ben explained. + +"Oh, I see. Can I be a judge too?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, you can be a judge. But you have to be fair and listen to both sides," Ben said. + +They decided to play judge and jury. They took turns being the judge and the jury, and used their clay animals as the cases. They had fun making up stories and rules. + +But then, something bad happened. The sun was too hot and the clay was too thin. Their clay shapes and animals started to crack and break. The dog's nose fell off, the judge's wig split in half, and the hammer crumbled to dust. + +"Oh no! Our clay is ruined!" Sara cried. + +"What did we do wrong?" Ben asked. + +They looked at the window and saw the sun was still shining. They realized they had put their clay too close to the heat. They should have put it somewhere cooler and darker. + +They felt sad and sorry. They had worked hard on their clay and they wanted to keep them. They wished they had been more careful. + +They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They decided to make new clay shapes and animals, but this time they would use more clay and put them in a safer place. They learned their lesson and hoped their clay would dry well. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their dolls. They liked to pretend that their dolls were famous singers and actors. They made up songs and stories for them. + +"Look, my doll is singing on a big stage!" Anna said. "She is very famous and everyone loves her." + +"My doll is an actor in a movie!" Ben said. "He is very brave and smart and he fights the bad guys." + +They were having fun, but then they saw something in the sky. It was dark and gray and smelled bad. It was smoke. + +"Where is the smoke coming from?" Anna asked. "Is there a fire?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "But it reminds me of something my mom told me." + +"What did she tell you?" Anna asked. + +"She told me that smoke is bad for you and you should stay away from it," Ben said. "She said that some people put sticks in their mouths and make smoke, but that is very silly and unhealthy." + +"Wow, that is silly," Anna agreed. "Why would they do that?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "But we should not do that. We should take care of our dolls and ourselves." + +"Yes, we should," Anna said. "Let's go to another part of the park, where there is no smoke." + +They picked up their dolls and ran to a different place, where they could play and breathe fresh air. They were happy and safe. +Anna has a loose tooth. She can wiggle it with her tongue. She wants it to fall out. She knows the tooth fairy will come and give her a coin. She thinks that is fun. + +One day, she is playing with her doll. She rocks her doll in her arms. She sings a song to her doll. She loves her doll very much. She pretends her doll is her baby. + +But then, she feels something in her mouth. She spits it out. It is her tooth! She is so happy. She runs to show her mom. She says, "Look, mom, my tooth came out!" + +Her mom smiles and hugs her. She says, "That's great, Anna! You are a big girl now. Your tooth is very important. We have to keep it safe. Do you know why?" + +Anna nods. She says, "Yes, mom. Because the tooth fairy will come tonight. She will take my tooth and leave me a coin. Can I put my tooth under my pillow?" + +Her mom says, "Of course, sweetie. But first, let's wash your tooth and put it in this little box. Then, you can put it under your pillow. And don't forget to brush your other teeth. They are important too." + +Anna does what her mom says. She is very excited. She can't wait for the night. She hopes the tooth fairy will like her tooth. She wonders what coin she will get. She thinks she will buy a new dress for her doll. She rocks her doll again and says, "Good night, baby. Good night, tooth. Good night, tooth fairy." +Lily and Max were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They also liked to look at the flowers and the bugs and the birds. + +One day, they saw a huge bird in the sky. It was black and white and had a long neck and big wings. It was a swan. Lily and Max wanted to see it better, so they ran after it. + +"Wow, look at the swan!" Lily said. + +"It's so big and pretty!" Max said. + +The swan flew over the fence and landed on the pond next door. Lily and Max followed it. They climbed over the fence and ran to the pond. They saw the swan swimming and splashing in the water. It looked happy. + +"Hello, swan!" Lily said. + +"Can we play with you?" Max said. + +The swan looked at them and made a loud noise. It sounded like a honk. It flapped its wings and stretched its neck. It did not look happy. + +"Go away, go away!" the swan said. + +Lily and Max were scared. They did not know the swan was angry. They thought it wanted to be friends. + +"Sorry, swan!" Lily said. + +"We didn't mean to bother you!" Max said. + +They ran back to the fence and climbed over it. They went back to their yard. They decided to play with their toys instead. They did not want to make the swan mad again. + +They settled on the grass and had a picnic. They shared their cookies and juice. They talked and laughed and had fun. + +They forgot about the swan. They were happy in their yard. +One day, an elderly lady named Nana was making cocoa for her grandson, Tim. She liked to make cocoa with milk, sugar, and a little bit of cinnamon. She poured the cocoa into two mugs and brought them to the living room, where Tim was playing with his toy cars. + +"Here you go, Tim. Some hot cocoa for you," Nana said, handing him a mug. + +"Thank you, Nana. I love your cocoa. It is so yummy and warm," Tim said, taking a sip. + +"You're welcome, Tim. Do you want to play a game with me?" Nana asked. + +"Sure, Nana. What game do you want to play?" Tim asked. + +"How about tic-tac-toe? Do you know how to play?" Nana asked. + +"Yes, Nana. I know how to play. You draw a big square and then you make nine small squares inside. Then you take turns to put an X or an O in a square. The first one to make three Xs or Os in a row wins," Tim explained. + +"That's right, Tim. You are very smart. Here, I have some paper and a pencil. Let's play on the table," Nana said, setting up the game. + +They played tic-tac-toe for a while, and Tim was very good at it. He won most of the games, and Nana was very proud of him. She also let him win some games, because she wanted him to have fun. + +"Wow, Tim. You are a tic-tac-toe champion. You win a lot," Nana said, smiling. + +"Thank you, Nana. You are a good player too. You win some times," Tim said, hugging her. + +"I love you, Tim. You are a sweet boy. Do you want some more cocoa?" Nana asked. + +"Yes, please, Nana. I love you too. And I love your cocoa," Tim said, taking another sip. +Ben and Mia like to play with their cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with their blocks and pretend to drive their cars on them. + +One day, they want to have a race. They each choose their fastest car and line them up at the start. They count to three and say "go!" They push their cars along the road and cheer for them. + +But the road is difficult. It has many turns and bumps. Ben's car goes too fast and hits a block. It makes a loud noise and flips over. It is a wreck. Ben is sad and cries. + +Mia sees Ben's car and stops her car. She does not want to win the race. She wants to help Ben. She comes to Ben and gives him a hug. She says "sorry" and "it's okay". She helps him fix his car and his block. + +Ben and Mia smile and hug. They do not care about the race. They care about each other. They are good friends. They play with their cars again, but this time they go slower and more careful. They have fun. +Lily liked to read books. She had many books in her bookcase. She liked to look at the pictures and the words. She wanted to learn more things. + +One day, she saw a new book in the library. It was about animals. She loved animals. She wanted to read the book. She asked her mom if she could borrow the book. + +"Sure, Lily, you can borrow the book. But you have to return it in two weeks, okay?" her mom said. + +"Okay, mom, thank you!" Lily said. She was happy. She took the book and ran to her room. + +She put the book on her bed and opened it. She saw many colorful pictures of different animals. She read the names and the sounds they made. She learned about lions, elephants, monkeys, and more. + +She was so busy reading that she did not hear her brother Jake come in. Jake was older than Lily. He liked to play with his toys. He saw Lily's bookcase and had an idea. + +He took some of his toys and put them on the bookcase. He wanted to make a creative scene. He put his cars, his dinosaurs, his robots, and his blocks on the shelves. He moved some of Lily's books to make room. He thought it looked cool. + +He did not notice that Lily saw him. She was angry. She did not like that he touched her books. She did not like that he filled her bookcase with his toys. She wanted her books back. + +"Jake, what are you doing?" she shouted. "That's my bookcase! Those are my books! Give them back!" + +"No, Lily, this is my game. I'm making a creative scene. Your books are boring. My toys are fun!" Jake said. + +They started to argue. They pulled and pushed each other. They made a lot of noise. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the mess on the bookcase and the bed. She saw the book from the library.
