They had a big yard with a creek that ran through it. They liked to splash in the water and look for fish and frogs. One day, they saw a big truck come to their yard. It had a lot of metal and wires and machines. The truck driver got out and said, "Hello, kids. I'm here to build a modern bridge over your creek. It will be strong and shiny and have lights at night." + +Lily and Ben did not like this idea. They liked their creek the way it was, with rocks and logs and plants.

We want our creek to stay natural and beautiful. Please go away and leave us alone." + +The truck driver was surprised and annoyed. He said, "But kids, this is progress.

They said, "No, we don't. We like our creek the way it is. We don't need a modern bridge. We have fun and learn and explore here. This is our special place. Please don't ruin it." + +The truck driver sighed and said, "Well, kids, I'm sorry, but I have a job to do. I have to build this bridge whether you like it or not.

Go away." + +The truck driver was shocked and angry. He said, "Hey, kids, what are you doing? Stop that right now. You're making a mess and a noise and a trouble.

Now, stop that right now or I'll call your parents." + +Lily and Ben did not stop. They kept throwing and shouting. They did not care about the truck driver's work or authority.

They said, "Lily and Ben, what are you doing? Why are you making such a mess and a noise and a trouble? Why are you being rude and silly and naughty?

We want our creek to stay natural and beautiful. We like our creek the way it is. We have fun and learn and explore here. This is our special place. We don't want to lose it." + +Their parents sighed and said, "Lily and Ben, we understand how you feel. We know you love your creek and your special place. We love it too. But sometimes, things have to change. Sometimes, we have to accept progress. Sometimes, we have to think about others and not just ourselves. A modern bridge will not only help us, but also our neighbors and our friends and our community. It will make our creek better and safer and more convenient for everyone. It will not ruin it or take it away from you. You can still have fun and learn and explore here. You can still make it your special place. But you have to share it and respect it and care for it. And you have to respect and care for the people who work to make it better. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben thought about what their parents said. They felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they had been selfish and foolish and bad. They realized they had not thought about others and not just themselves. They realized they had not respected or cared for the truck driver or his work. They realized they had made a +Mia and Leo are two cats who live in a big house with a nice family.

"Do you think he wants to play with us?" + +"I don't know," Leo whispers back. "Maybe he is lost or looking for food. He doesn't have a collar like us." + +"Should we go and say hello?" Mia asks. "Maybe he is lonely and needs a friend." + +"Or maybe he is mean and wants to fight," Leo says. "He might scratch us or bite us." + +They discuss what to do for a while, but they can't decide. They are both a little scared and a little curious. They wish they could talk to the new cat and find out more about him. + +The new cat sees them hiding behind the bush and decides to make the first move. He walks slowly towards them and stops a few feet away. He sits down and licks his paw. He looks at them with a friendly smile and says, "Hi, I'm Max. I just moved in next door. Can I play with you?" + +Mia and Leo are surprised and relieved. He doesn't sound mean at all. He sounds nice and polite. They come out of the bush and greet him. They tell him their names and ask him about his family and his home. They find out that he has a lot in common with them. He likes to play, nap, and eat too. He also likes to explore, but he always comes back when his family calls him. + +They decide to invite him to join them in their favorite games. They chase each other, roll in the grass, and climb the trees. They have a lot of fun and laugh a lot. They forget their fears and become friends. + +Soon, it is time for them to go back to their houses. They say goodbye to Max and promise to play with him again tomorrow.

They said celery was yucky and boring. They said Lily was weird and different. + +Lily felt sad and hurt. She did not understand why the other kids did not like celery or her. She liked celery because it was crunchy and green. She liked being different because it made her special. She did not want to be like everyone else. + +The teacher saw Lily's face and smiled. She gave her a big piece of celery and said, "Good for you, Lily. Celery is healthy and delicious. And being different is wonderful. It means you have your own mind and heart. You should be proud of who you are." + +Lily smiled back and thanked the teacher. She took a bite of her celery and enjoyed it. She did not care what the other kids said.

I hurt my knee and Anna. Anna is broken. She is not pretty anymore. I don't deserve her." + +Mommy wiped Lily's tears and said, "Lily, you are not silly. You are brave. You wanted to try something new and have fun. Sometimes we make mistakes and get hurt. But that's how we learn and grow. Your knee will heal soon. And Anna is not broken. She is still your doll and she still loves you. Her dress is just a thing. It can be washed and mended. What matters is how you treat her and how you feel about her. She is still pretty in your eyes and in your heart. You do deserve her. And she deserves you." + +Lily looked at her mommy and at Anna. She felt a warm feeling in her chest. She said, "Thank you, mommy. You are right. I love Anna and she loves me. Her dress is not important. I will wash it and sew it. And I will be more careful next time. I'm sorry I made you worried."

It has a pretty dress and hair," Ben said. + +"You can't have it. Go away," Lily said. She was grumpy and did not want to share. + +Ben was sad and angry. He did not mind playing with the car, but he wanted to try the doll too. He thought Lily was not nice. He grabbed the doll from Lily's hands and ran away. + +"Hey, give it back!" Lily shouted. She chased Ben around the living room. They bumped into the sofa, the table and the lamp. They made a lot of noise and mess. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Ben fighting over the doll. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing? Stop it right now!" she said. "You are not playing nicely. You have to share your toys and be kind to each other." + +She took the doll and the car from them and put them on the shelf. She said they could not have them back until they said sorry and hugged. + +Lily and Ben did not like that. They did not want to say sorry or hug. They crossed their arms and pouted. They were still grumpy. + +Mom sighed. She said, "You are not ready to play with the toys yet. You have to learn to mind your manners and feelings. Maybe later, when you are calm and friendly, you can have them back. But for now, you have to sit on the couch and think about what you did." + +Lily and Ben did not want to sit on the couch and think. They wanted to play with the toys. But they knew they had no choice. They sat on the couch and looked at the toys on the shelf. They wished they had been nicer to each other.

He holds the net and walks slowly to the rock. + +But before they can reach the frog, a rude boy comes and grabs the net from Ben. He laughs and runs away with it. + +"Hey, that's our net! Give it back!" Ben shouts. He and Lily chase the boy, but he is too fast. + +The boy thinks he is clever, but he does not see the hole in the ground. He trips and falls, and the net flies out of his hand. The net lands on the frog, and the frog jumps into the pond with the net. + +The boy cries and tries to get the net back, but the frog is gone. He is sorry and ashamed. + +Lily and Ben find the boy and the net. They are angry, but they are also kind. + +"Are you OK?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, I'm OK. But I'm sorry. I was rude. I should not have taken your net." The boy says. + +"It's OK. We forgive you. But don't do it again." Ben says. + +They help the boy up and give him the net. They decide to be friends and play together. They learn to share and respect each other.

And play with our toys." Lily said. + +Sam looked at Lily. He saw that she was sad and sweaty. He thought for a moment. He liked digging, but he liked Lily more. He did not want to make her unhappy. + +"OK, Lily, you're right. Let's quit. We can come back another day. Maybe the hole will have something then. Come on, let's go home." Sam said. + +He put his shovel in his bucket and held Lily's hand. They walked back to their house, leaving the hole behind. They did not know that under the sand, there was a shiny metal box with a lock and a key. Maybe someone else would find it someday. Or maybe not. +Mia and Ben were twins who loved to play in the pool. They liked to splash each other with water and make big waves. One day, their mom came to the pool with some news.

They did not know that their mom had another surprise for them. She had bought them tickets to ride the train that went around the zoo. They would see all the animals up close and hear their sounds. They would have the best day ever. But they had to wait until tomorrow. +Lily wanted to play with the big dog in the park. She liked dogs and wanted to pet him. But the dog was a guard dog and he did not like strangers. He barked and growled at Lily when she came near. + +"Go away, little girl!" the dog said. "This is my park and you are not welcome here. I am a guard and I protect this place from bad people." + +Lily was not scared of the dog. She smiled and said, "You are a good guard, but I am not a bad person. I am a friend and I want to play with you. You look lonely and bored. Don't you want to have some fun?" + +The dog was surprised by Lily's words. He had never met a child who was so brave and kind. He felt a little curious and a little sad. He had been guarding the park for a long time and he had no friends. He only had his owner, who came to feed him and walk him once a day. He wondered what it would be like to play with Lily. + +He decided to give Lily a chance. He stopped barking and growling and wagged his tail a little. He said, "Okay, little girl. I will accept you as a friend. But you have to be careful and listen to me. I am still a guard and I have rules. You can't touch my food, my toys, or my collar. And you can't go near the gate or the fence. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and agreed. She was happy that the dog accepted her as a friend. She said, "Thank you, dog. I will follow your rules. What is your name?" + +The dog smiled and said, "My name is Rex. What is yours?" + +Lily said, "My name is Lily. Nice to meet you, Rex. Can we play now?" + +Rex said, "Yes, we can play now. Come on, Lily. Let's have some fun." + +Lily and Rex ran and chased and rolled in the grass. They had a lot of fun and became good friends. They learned that it was not difficult to be kind and accept each other. They were happy and they made each other happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many green needles. It is a pine tree. + +"Look, Ben, a pine tree!" Anna says. "It smells good." + +"Yes, it does," Ben says. "Do you think we can climb it?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She likes to climb, but the pine tree is very tall and the needles are sharp. She is a little scared. + +"I don't know, Ben," she says. "It looks hard and ouchy." + +Ben thinks too. He is brave, but he does not want to hurt himself or Anna. He has an idea. + +"Maybe we can make a nest under the pine tree," he says. "We can use the pine cones and the leaves and the sticks. It will be warm and cozy." + +Anna likes Ben's idea. She smiles and nods. + +"OK, Ben, let's make a nest," she says. "It will be fun." + +They run to the pine tree and start to gather the things they need. They work together and make a nice nest. They crawl inside and snuggle. They feel warm and happy under the pine tree. They close their eyes and pretend they are birds. They chirp and sing. They have a good time. +Tim and Mia were twins who liked to play all day. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red blanket. They used the blanket to make forts, capes, tents, and anything else they could imagine. They felt mighty when they wore the blanket, like they could do anything. + +One day, their mom said it was time for a nap. Tim and Mia did not want to nap. They wanted to keep playing with the blanket. They begged their mom to let them stay up, but she said no. She said they had to share the blanket and take turns sleeping with it. Tim and Mia agreed, but they were not happy. + +Tim went to nap first. He wrapped himself in the blanket and pretended he was a superhero. He dreamed of flying and fighting bad guys. He did not hear Mia sneak into his room. Mia wanted the blanket too. She was jealous of Tim. She pulled the blanket from him and ran away. + +Tim woke up and saw that the blanket was gone. He was angry and sad. He ran after Mia and shouted, "Give me back my blanket! It's mine!" Mia did not listen. She ran faster and faster. She did not see the stairs. She tripped and fell down. She hit her head and cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw Mia on the floor, bleeding and hurt. She saw Tim holding the blanket, looking scared and sorry. She dropped everything and ran to Mia. She called for help. She did not look at Tim. Tim wished he had napped. He wished he had shared the blanket. He wished he had been a good brother. He felt small and weak. He did not feel mighty anymore. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to travel. They had a big map on the wall and they put a string on it to show where they had been. They had been to many places, like the park, the zoo, the farm, and the beach. They wanted to see more things and have more fun. + +One day, they saw an unusual picture on the map. It was a picture of a castle with a dragon. They wondered what it was like to go there. They decided to follow the string to the castle. They packed some snacks and water and set off. + +They walked for a long time, past the town, past the hills, and past the forest. They saw many animals and plants, but they did not stop to look. They wanted to reach the castle. They thought it would be exciting and magical. + +Finally, they came to the castle. It was big and old and had many towers and windows. They looked for the dragon, but they did not see it. They saw a sign that said "Welcome to the Museum of History". They were confused. They went inside and saw many things that they did not understand. They saw paintings and statues and books and armor. They saw people dressed in strange clothes and talking in strange languages. They felt lost and scared. + +They wished they had paid more attention to the things they had passed on the way. They wished they had learned more about the world and its history. They wished they had asked someone what the castle was before they went there. They realized that traveling was not only about fun, but also about learning and respecting. + +They decided to go back home and study the map more carefully. They decided to ask their parents and teachers more questions. They decided to enjoy the journey as well as the destination. They learned that traveling was a way to grow and discover. They were still friends who liked to travel, but they were also friends who liked to learn. +Lila and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. They had many blocks of different shapes and colors. + +"Look, I made a big tower!" Lila said, showing Ben her blocks. "It is very tall and strong." + +"That is good, Lila," Ben said. "But I made a better house. It has a door and a window and a roof. It is very cozy and pretty." + +Lila and Ben looked at each other's blocks. They both wanted to have the best blocks. They started to argue. + +"Your tower is too thin. It will fall down," Ben said. + +"Your house is too small. It will not fit anyone," Lila said. + +They got angry and grabbed each other's blocks. They tried to break them and cut them and throw them away. They did not care about their blocks anymore. They only cared about being right. + +But then, something bad happened. Their blocks were not dependable. They were not strong and safe. They were weak and sharp. When Lila and Ben cut and threw their blocks, they hurt themselves. They got cuts and bruises and bumps. They cried and screamed and bled. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the mess and the blood and the tears. She was very sad and mad. She took away their blocks and bandaged their wounds. She scolded them and sent them to their rooms. She said they could not play with blocks anymore. They had to learn to share and be nice. + +Lila and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not fought over their blocks. They wished they had been friends and had fun. But it was too late. They had ruined their blocks and their playtime. They had no one to talk to or hug. They were alone and unhappy. The end. +Lily was a little girl who loved to play outside. She liked to run, jump, and climb trees. She also liked to watch the bugs and birds that lived in the garden. One day, she saw a cricket on a leaf. She wanted to make friends with it. + +"Hello, cricket," she said. "What is your name?" + +The cricket looked at her and chirped. "My name is Chip," he said. "I like to fly and sing." + +"Wow, you can fly?" Lily asked. "That is so cool. I wish I could fly too." + +"You can fly with me," Chip said. "Just hold on to my back and I will take you for a ride." + +Lily was very happy. She gently picked up Chip and put him on her hand. Then she lifted him up to her ear and said, "OK, Chip, let's fly." + +Chip flapped his wings and lifted off the ground. He flew around the garden, showing Lily the flowers, the bees, and the birds. Lily laughed and clapped her hands. She felt like she was flying too. + +Chip was a very dependable friend. He always stayed close to Lily and made sure she was safe. He also taught her many things about the garden and the animals. Lily learned to appreciate the beauty and wonder of nature. She and Chip had many adventures together. They were the best of friends. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Sometimes they play with blocks, sometimes they play with dolls, sometimes they play with cars. But they do not like to take a shower. They think it is boring and cold. + +One day, Mom says, "It is time for a shower, Anna and Ben. You are dirty and sweaty. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." Anna and Ben say, "No, Mom, we do not want to take a shower. We want to play more." Mom says, "You have to take a shower, or you will get sick and smelly. It is good for you. I will help you and make it fun." + +Anna and Ben still say no. They run away from Mom. They hide under the bed. They think they are smart and safe. But Mom finds them. She says, "You cannot hide from me. I can see your feet. Come out, or I will tickle you." Anna and Ben giggle. They come out from under the bed. Mom takes them to the bathroom. + +Mom turns on the water. She makes it warm and nice. She puts some soap and bubbles in the shower. She says, "Look, Anna and Ben, the shower is like a big fountain. You can splash and sing and make shapes with the bubbles. It is fun." Anna and Ben look at the shower. They see the water and the bubbles. They hear the sound. They feel curious and brave. They say, "OK, Mom, we will try the shower." + +Mom helps them to get in the shower. She washes their hair and their body. She sings a song with them. Anna and Ben feel the water and the bubbles. They feel high and happy. They splash and sing and make shapes with the bubbles. They say, "Mom, you are right. The shower is fun. We like it." Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "I am glad you like it. See, sometimes you have to try new things. They can be good for you and fun too. That is the moral of the story." Anna and Ben nod and say, "We understand, Mom. We love you." They finish the shower and dry themselves. They feel clean and fresh. They go to bed and sleep well. They dream of water and bubbles. +Lily was a polite dog. She liked to share her toys and food with other dogs. She also liked to relax in the sun with her bone. She would chew on it and feel happy. + +One day, a new dog came to the park. His name was Max. He was not polite. He wanted to have all the toys and food for himself. He saw Lily's bone and ran towards it. + +"Hey, that's my bone!" Lily barked. "You can't take it!" + +"Yes, I can!" Max snarled. "It's mine now!" + +He grabbed the bone and ran away. Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted her bone back. + +She chased after Max and tried to get her bone. But Max was fast and mean. He bit and scratched Lily. Lily got hurt and tired. She stopped and whimpered. + +A kind lady saw what happened. She came to help Lily. She gave her a hug and a treat. She also scolded Max. + +"Bad dog!" she said. "You can't be rude and greedy. You have to share and be polite. Give Lily her bone back!" + +Max felt ashamed. He dropped the bone and looked down. He said sorry to Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I was wrong. Can we be friends?" + +Lily was a polite dog. She forgave Max. She nodded and smiled. + +"OK, Max," she said. "We can be friends. But you have to be nice and fair. Do you want to share my bone?" + +Max nodded and smiled. He said thank you to Lily. + +"Thank you, Lily," he said. "You are very kind and generous. Can we relax in the sun together?" + +Lily agreed. They relaxed in the sun with the bone. They chewed on it and felt happy. They learned to be polite and share. The kind lady watched them and smiled. She was proud of them. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play outside in nature. They saw many things, like birds, flowers, and bugs. One day, they found a big red apple on a tree. It looked delicious. + +"I want the apple!" Tim said. + +"No, I want it!" Sam said. + +They both tried to reach the apple, but it was too high. They pushed and pulled each other, but they could not get it. + +"Let's get a stick!" Tim said. + +"Good idea!" Sam said. + +They ran to find a stick, but they did not see the big hole in the ground. They fell into the hole and hurt themselves. They cried and shouted for help, but no one heard them. + +They ignored the signs that said "Danger! Do not enter!" They ignored their mom who told them to be careful. They ignored their friend who warned them about the hole. They ignored everything but the apple. + +Now they were stuck in the hole, with no apple, no help, and no fun. They wished they had listened and shared. They learned a hard lesson. The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to mark the trees with their crayons. They made red, blue and green marks on the bark. They thought it was fun and pretty. + +But then they saw a big jug on the porch. It was full of water. Lily had an idea. She said to Ben, "Let's mark the jug too. It will look nice." Ben nodded. He liked Lily's idea. + +They took their crayons and ran to the jug. They started to mark the jug with their crayons. They made yellow, pink and purple marks on the jug. They thought it was fun and pretty. + +But then they heard a loud voice. It was Mom. She was angry. She said, "What are you doing? You are ruining the jug. It is not yours to mark. It is for the flowers. Go to your room. Now!" + +Lily and Ben were frightened. They dropped their crayons and ran to their room. They were sorry. They did not know the jug was for the flowers. They did not mean to ruin it. They wished they had not marked the jug. They wished they had listened to Mom. +Tom and Lily were twins who loved to eat sugar. They would sneak into the kitchen and take some sugar from the jar when their mom was not looking. They thought sugar was the best thing in the world and they did not want to share it with anyone. + +One day, their mom went to the store and left them at home with their dad. Tom and Lily saw their chance and ran to the kitchen. They grabbed the jar of sugar and tried to open it. But the lid was too tight and they could not open it. They tried to twist it, pull it, and bang it, but nothing worked. They started to struggle and fight over the jar. They pushed and pulled and shouted at each other. + +Their dad heard the noise and came to the kitchen. He saw Tom and Lily fighting over the jar of sugar and he was very angry. He took the jar from them and said, "What are you doing? You know you are not supposed to eat sugar without asking. Sugar is bad for your teeth and your health. And you are being very selfish and rude to each other. You should share and be kind to your sibling. That is the right thing to do." + +Tom and Lily felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they had been wrong and they had hurt each other. They said, "We are sorry, dad. We were greedy and mean. We will not eat sugar without asking again. And we will share and be nice to each other." + +Their dad smiled and hugged them. He said, "I am glad you learned your lesson. I love you both very much. Now, why don't you go and play together nicely in the living room? I will make you some healthy snacks later." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "We love you too, dad. Thank you for teaching us." They put the jar of sugar back in the cupboard and went to the living room. They played together happily and did not fight anymore. + +The moral of the story is: Sugar is not good for you and you should not eat it without permission. You should also share and be kind to your sibling and not struggle and fight over things. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big maze made of hay. They wanted to try it, but their mom said they had to stay together. + +"OK, mom," they said, and ran into the maze. They had fun finding their way through the paths and walls. They saw some animals, like a cow, a pig, and a rabbit. + +But then, they got lost. They could not see their mom or the exit. They started to feel scared. + +"Tom, where are we?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, Lily. Let's keep looking," Tom said. + +They walked and walked, but they only found more hay. They heard a loud noise behind them. They turned around and saw a fat bear. The bear was hungry and angry. It wanted to eat them. + +"Run, Lily, run!" Tom shouted. + +They ran as fast as they could, but the bear was faster. It was getting closer and closer. They thought they were going to be eaten. + +But then, they saw something. They saw a red balloon. It was their mom's balloon. She had given it to them before they entered the maze. She had told them to hold it high, so she could recognize them. + +They ran towards the balloon. They saw their mom waiting for them at the exit. She was happy and relieved to see them. + +"Mom, mom, we're here!" they cried. + +"Thank God, you're safe!" she said, and hugged them. "I was so worried about you. Why did you let go of the balloon?" + +"We're sorry, mom. We forgot. We got lost. And there was a bear!" they said. + +"A bear? What bear?" she asked. + +They looked behind them. The bear was gone. It had run away when it saw their mom. + +They realized it was not a real bear. It was a man in a bear costume. He was part of the maze. He was trying to scare them. + +They felt silly and relieved. They laughed and hugged their mom. + +They learned their lesson. They never let go of the balloon again. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room.

Their mom is not happy. + +One day, mom says, "Sara and Ben, you have to clean your room. It is too messy. You have to be organized. You have to put your toys in the right places. If you do not, I will take away your toys." + +Sara and Ben do not want to lose their toys. They say, "OK, mom, we will clean our room." But they do not really want to. They think cleaning is boring. They think playing is fun. They have a plan. + +They start to clean their room. But they do not really clean. They just move their toys around. They hide some toys under the bed. They put some toys in the closet. They throw some toys in the trash. They think mom will not see. They think they are smart. + +But mom is smarter. She comes to check their room. She sees the toys under the bed. She sees the toys in the closet. She sees the toys in the trash. She is very angry. She says, "Sara and Ben, you did not clean your room. You made it worse.

We will not do it again. Please, do not take our toys. We love our toys. We will be organized. We will be good. Please, mom, please." + +Mom says, "No, Sara and Ben, you have to learn your lesson. You have to give me your toys. All of them. Now. You can have them back when you show me you can be organized. You can have them back when you show me you can be good. You can have them back when you show me you can be my staff." + +Sara and Ben do not know what staff means. They think it is a big word. They think it is a hard word. They think it is a scary word.

They hope mom will love them. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big man with a hat and a bag. He was making loud noises with his feet. He was marching. + +"What is he doing?" Lily asked. + +"He is going to the bank," Ben said. "He has money in his bag. He wants to put it in a safe place." + +"Why does he march?" Lily wondered. + +"Maybe he likes to march," Ben guessed. "Or maybe he is in a hurry." + +Lily and Ben followed the man. They wanted to see the bank. They crossed the street and walked behind him. They saw a big building with a sign. It said "Bank". + +The man went inside the building. Lily and Ben peeked through the door. They saw many people and desks and machines. They saw the man go to a window. He gave his bag to a lady. She opened it and counted the money. + +Lily and Ben were curious. They wanted to see the money. They sneaked inside the building. They looked for the man's bag. They saw it on a table. They ran to the table and grabbed the bag. + +"Let's see the money!" Lily said. + +They opened the bag. They saw many green papers and round coins. They felt happy. They had never seen so much money. + +"Wow! Look at all the money!" Ben said. + +He took a paper and a coin. He gave a paper and a coin to Lily. They smiled. + +"Let's buy something!" Lily said. + +They ran out of the building. They looked for a shop. They saw a shop with a sign. It said "Candy". + +"Candy!" Lily and Ben shouted. + +They went to the shop.

This candy is sour!" Lily said. + +"Me too! I don't like it!" Ben said. + +They threw away the bag of candy. They felt sad. They had wasted their money. + +They wished they had not taken the man's bag. They wished they had not bought the sour candy. They wished they had played in the park. + +They learned a lesson. They learned that money is not everything. They learned that candy is not always sweet. They learned that marching is not fun. +Lily and Ben like to make dough with Mom. They put flour, water, salt and oil in a big bowl. They mix and knead the dough with their hands. It is soft and sticky and fun. + +"Can we make shapes with the dough?" Lily asks Mom. + +"Sure, you can make anything you want. But be careful, don't make a mess," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben take some dough and roll it on the table. They use cookie cutters to make stars, hearts, circles and animals. They put them on a baking tray. + +"Look, Mom, I made a dough cat!" Ben says. + +"That's very nice, Ben. And what did you make, Lily?" Mom asks. + +"I made a dough flower. And I sing to it, so it can grow," Lily says. She sings a song she learned at school. "Dough flower, dough flower, you are so pretty. Dough flower, dough flower, you smell so sweet." + +Mom smiles and hugs them. "You are very creative, Lily and Ben. I'm proud of you. Now let's put the dough shapes in the oven, so they can bake and become crispy and yummy." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They help Mom put the tray in the oven.

They wanted their bubbles back. + +"Hey, give that back!" Tom shouted. He ran after the big boy. Sam followed him. They tried to catch the big boy, but he was too fast. He ran to the other side of the park, where there was a pond. He stopped and turned around. He smiled and said, "You can't have this. It's mine now. Watch this!" He opened the bottle and poured all the bubble soap into the pond. The soap made a lot of foam and bubbles on the water. The big boy laughed and said, "Ha ha, look at your bubbles now!" + +Tom and Sam were very sad. They loved their bubbles. They had no more bubble soap. They felt like crying. But then, they saw something. The wind blew some of the bubbles from the pond to them. The bubbles were big and shiny. They floated in the air. Tom and Sam smiled. They reached out and caught some of the bubbles. They popped them and felt the soap on their hands. They looked at each other and said, "We still have bubbles!" + +They realized that the big boy did not take away their bubbles. He only wasted his own soap. They still had their wands and their friendship. They still had their fun. They valued their bubbles, but they valued each other more. They were loyal friends. They hugged and said, "We don't need him. We have us. We have bubbles!" They blew more bubbles and chased them in the air. They laughed and had fun. +Anna likes to play with her beads. She has many beads of different colors and shapes. She likes to make necklaces and bracelets with them. She has a big loop of string to fit the beads on. + +One day, she finds a new bead in her box.

This is a ring. It is a special ring that your grandma gave me when I was little. It is too small for me, but maybe it will fit you." + +She puts the ring on Anna's finger. It fits perfectly. Anna feels happy and surprised. She looks at the ring and sees how it sparkles in the light. She says, "Thank you, mom. This is the best bead ever.

Tom and Anna want to read the words. + +"What does it say?" Tom asks Anna. + +Anna is clever. She can read some words. She looks at the billboard and says, "It says, 'Wake up and smell the coffee'. It is an ad for a coffee shop." + +"What is an ad?" Tom asks. + +"An ad is something that tells you to buy something or go somewhere," Anna says. + +"Why do they want us to wake up and smell the coffee?" Tom asks. + +"Maybe they want us to go to their coffee shop and drink their coffee," Anna says. + +"But we are not sleepy. And we do not like coffee. We like juice and milk," Tom says. + +"You are right. We do not need to wake up and smell the coffee. We can play in the park and have fun," Anna says. + +Tom and Anna smile and run to the swings.

She ran after Bella and said, "Stop, stop, give me back my box. That is not yours. You are stealing." Bella did not stop. She ran to her house and locked the door. She took out Anna's thread and threw it on the floor. She did not want to sew. She just wanted to make Anna cry. + +Anna knocked on the door and said, "Please, please, give me back my box. I need my thread. I want to sew. You are not nice. You are not fair." Bella did not open the door. She laughed and said, "Go away, go away. This is my thread now. You can't have it. You can't sew. You can only cry." + +Anna cried. She had no thread. She had no box. She had no dolls or hats or scarves. She had nothing. She was not happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to eat cherries. One day, they saw a big bowl of cherries on the table. They wanted to eat them all, but their mom said, "No, you can only have one each. The rest are for the pie." + +Ben and Lily nodded, but they were not happy. They waited until their mom went to the kitchen, and then they sneaked to the table. They each took one cherry and ate it. It was sweet and juicy. They wanted more. + +They looked at each other and whispered, "Let's take some more. Mom won't notice." They each took another cherry and ate it. Then another, and another. Soon, the bowl was empty. + +They heard their mom coming back. They quickly ran to their room and hid under the bed. They felt sick and scared. + +Their mom saw the empty bowl and was angry. She knew it was Ben and Lily who ate all the cherries. She went to their room and called them. "Ben, Lily, where are you? Come out now!" + +Ben and Lily did not answer. They hoped their mom would go away. But their mom did not go away. She looked under the bed and saw them. They had cherry stains on their mouths and hands. + +She pulled them out and said, "Why did you eat all the cherries? You were very naughty. You did not listen to me. You did not share with me. You did not ask me. You made me sad and you made yourselves sick. How do you feel now?" + +Ben and Lily felt ashamed and sorry. They said, "We feel bad, mom. We are sorry. We were greedy and selfish. We should have listened to you. We should have shared with you. We should have asked you. Please forgive us." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "I forgive you, but you have to learn from your mistake. Eating too much is not good for you. Sharing is caring. Asking is polite. Next time, be good and do the right thing." + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "We will, mom. We love you." + +Their mom smiled and said, "I love you too. Now, let's go and make a new pie. We can use some apples instead of cherries. They are also good and healthy." + +Ben and Lily agreed and followed their mom to the kitchen. They helped her make the pie and enjoyed it together. They learned their lesson and never ate all the cherries again. +Lily was very tired. She had played all day with her toys and her friends. She wanted to go to bed, but she also wanted to watch her favorite show on TV. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. + +"Come on, Lily, it's time for bed," her mom said. "You can watch your show tomorrow." + +"But mom, I want to see what happens next," Lily said. "Please, just a little more." + +Her mom shook her head. "No, Lily, you need to sleep. You have school tomorrow. Turn off the TV and come with me." + +Lily pouted. She did not want to turn off the TV. She liked the TV. She looked for the remote, but she could not find it. She saw a cord behind the couch. She thought maybe the remote was there. She crawled behind the couch and pulled the cord. + +Suddenly, the TV went off. Lily gasped. She had pulled the wrong cord. She had pulled the cord that made the TV work. She felt scared. She did not mean to break the TV. She hoped her mom was not angry. + +"Lily, what did you do?" her mom asked. She came behind the couch and saw Lily holding the cord. She was not angry. She was worried. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. You did not break the TV. You just unplugged it. But you should not pull cords. They can be dangerous. You could get hurt." + +Lily felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was looking for the remote. I wanted to watch my show." + +Her mom smiled. She said, "I know, Lily. But you can watch your show another time. Now you need to sleep. You are very tired. And so am I. Let's go to bed." + +Lily nodded. She was tired. She yawned again. She let go of the cord and took her mom's hand. They walked to Lily's room. Her mom tucked her in and kissed her goodnight. Lily closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of her show and her toys and her friends. She was happy. +Lena liked soup very much. She liked to eat soup with bread and cheese. Her mom made soup for her every day. Lena was happy. + +One day, Lena and her mom went to the shop. They saw many things in the shop. Lena saw a big doll with a pink dress. She wanted the doll very much. She asked her mom to buy the doll for her. + +Her mom said no. She said the doll was too expensive. She said they had to save money for soup and bread and cheese. Lena was sad. She cried and cried. She did not listen to her mom. + +Her mom was angry. She said Lena was a bad girl. She said she would not make soup for her today. She said Lena had to eat bread and cheese only. Lena was very sad. She cried more and more. + +They went home. Lena did not eat her bread and cheese. She wanted soup. She wanted the doll. She was hungry and unhappy. She tried to remember the taste of soup. She tried to remember the smile of her mom. She could not remember. She felt alone and cold. She wished she had been a good girl. +Lily was a princess who liked to play with her crown. She wore it all the time, even when she ate and slept. She thought it made her look pretty and special. + +One day, she was playing in the garden with her crown, when it started to rain. She ran inside, but she forgot to take off her crown. The rain made her crown wet and muddy. + +"Oh no, my crown is ruined!" she cried. "It is not shiny and sparkly anymore. It is dirty and dull. How can I be a princess without a beautiful crown?" + +Her mother came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily's wet and muddy crown and smiled. + +"Don't worry, my dear," she said. "Your crown is not ruined. It just needs to be cleaned and dried. Come, I will help you." + +She took Lily and her crown to the bathroom. She washed the crown with soap and water, and then dried it with a towel. She put it back on Lily's head. + +"See, your crown is as shiny and sparkly as before," she said. "But you know what, Lily? Your crown is not what makes you a princess. It is your kindness, your courage, and your love that make you a princess. Those are the things that really matter." + +Lily hugged her mother and thanked her. She realized that her mother was right. She was a princess not because of her crown, but because of her heart. She felt happy and sleepy. She put her crown on her pillow and went to bed. She dreamed of being a kind, courageous, and loving princess. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to smell the roses and look at the bees. Lily picked a red rose and gave it to Max. "This is for you, Max. You are my best friend," she said. + +Max smiled and took the rose. He smelled it and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are my best friend too. The rose smells nice." He put the rose in his pocket and they ran to the swing. + +They swung high and low, laughing and singing. They had so much fun. But soon they felt sleepy. Their eyes were heavy and their legs were tired. They got off the swing and walked to the bench. + +They sat on the bench and leaned on each other. They yawned and closed their eyes. They were about to fall asleep when they heard a loud bark. It was Spot, the dog. He ran to them and jumped on them. He licked their faces and wagged his tail. + +Lily and Max woke up and giggled. They hugged Spot and petted him. But Spot saw something in Max's pocket. He sniffed it and pulled it out. It was the rose. He bit it and shook it. He dropped it on the ground and tore it to pieces. + +Lily and Max gasped. They saw the rose was ruined. They felt sad and angry. They scolded Spot and said, "No, Spot! Bad dog! You broke our rose! That was a gift! Go away!" + +Spot whimpered and ran away. He felt sorry and confused. He did not know why they were mad at him. He just wanted to play. + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They saw tears in their eyes. They hugged each other and said, "I'm sorry, Max. I'm sorry, Lily. The rose was beautiful. But you are still my best friend." + +They smiled and wiped their tears. They decided to forgive Spot and find another rose. They got up and walked to the garden. They held hands and said, "We love roses. But we love each other more." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pond with many otters. The otters were cute and funny. They swam and slid and played with each other. + +"Can we go and touch them?" Tom asked. + +"No, we can't. They are wild animals. They might bite us or run away," Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He was stupid and curious. He ran to the pond and tried to catch an otter. The otter was scared and angry. It bit Tom's finger and ran away. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom cried. He ran back to Lily. His finger was red and swollen. + +Lily saw his finger and felt sorry for him. She took him to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She told her what happened. + +Mom was worried and angry. She took Tom to the doctor. The doctor gave him a shot and a bandage. He said Tom was lucky. The otter could have given him a bad disease. + +Tom felt bad and ashamed. He learned his lesson. He said sorry to Lily and mom. He said sorry to the otter in his mind. He promised to never bother wild animals again. + +Lily hugged him and forgave him. She said he was not stupid, just naughty. She said he should be more careful and respectful. She said she loved him. + +Mom smiled and kissed them both. She said they were good kids. She said she loved them. + +The moral of the story is: Do not touch wild animals. They are not toys. They have feelings and rights. They can hurt you or make you sick. Respect them and enjoy them from a distance. +Sam was scared of spiders. He did not like to see them in his room or in the garden. He thought they were ugly and creepy. He always ran away when he saw one. + +One day, he was playing with his blocks when he saw a big spider on the wall. He screamed and dropped his blocks. He ran to his mom and said, "Mom, mom, there is a spider in my room! It is big and scary! Please make it go away!" + +His mom hugged him and said, "Don't be afraid, Sam. The spider is not going to hurt you. It is just looking for a place to settle. It is not interested in you or your blocks. It is just a little animal that likes to spin webs and catch flies. It is not ugly or creepy. It is amazing and clever." + +She took him by the hand and led him back to his room. She pointed to the spider and said, "Look, Sam, the spider has settled on the corner of the ceiling. It has spun a beautiful web that sparkles in the light. Do you see how it moves with its eight legs and how it makes silk with its spinnerets? It is a wonderful creature that has many skills and tricks. Can you say hello to the spider?" + +Sam looked at the spider and saw that it was not so scary after all. He saw that it had a round body and a small head and that it had different colors and patterns. He saw that it was busy and happy in its web and that it did not bother him or his blocks. He felt curious and brave and said, "Hello, spider. I am Sam. I am sorry I screamed at you. You are amazing and clever. I am glad you settled in my room. Can we be friends?" + +The spider did not answer, but it waved one of its legs at him. Sam smiled and waved back. He felt a new feeling in his heart. He felt respect and admiration for the spider. He decided to name it Spiny and to let it stay in his room. He picked up his blocks and continued to play. He was not scared of spiders anymore. He was glad he had met Spiny. +Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play and share toys. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was running and barking. + +"Look, a dog!" Tom said. "Can we pet him?" + +"Maybe, but be careful. He might bite," Sue said. + +They ran after the dog, but he was too fast. He ran to a man who was sitting on a bench. The man had a plate with a steak on it. The steak smelled good. The dog jumped on the man and tried to get the steak. + +"Hey, stop that!" the man shouted. He pushed the dog away, but the dog did not give up. He growled and showed his teeth. + +Tom and Sue stopped and watched. They were scared. The man looked angry and the dog looked hungry. + +"Help, help!" the man cried. "Someone, get this dog off me!" + +Then, a woman came. She had blond hair and a blue dress. She was attractive. She ran to the man and the dog. She grabbed the dog's collar and pulled him back. She spoke to the dog in a soft voice. + +"Shh, shh, it's okay. You don't need to be mean. Come on, let's go home," she said. + +The dog calmed down and wagged his tail. He licked the woman's face. She smiled and kissed the dog's nose. + +"Thank you, thank you," the man said. "You saved me. And my steak." + +He looked at the woman and liked her. She looked at him and liked him too. + +"Hi, I'm Jack," the man said. + +"Hi, I'm Jill," the woman said. + +They smiled and shook hands. Then they looked at Tom and Sue, who were still watching. + +"Hi, kids," Jack said. "Do you want to share my steak?" + +Tom and Sue nodded. They liked steak. They walked to the bench and sat with Jack and Jill. The dog sat next to them and wagged his tail. They all ate the steak and talked. + +Tom and Sue were happy. They made new friends. They liked Jack and Jill. And they liked the dog. + +They did not know that Jack and Jill would soon be more than friends. They did not know that they would kiss and get married. They did not know that they would adopt the dog and name him Spot. They did not know that they would all live happily ever after. + +But they did. +Lily and Ben were fish who lived in a big reef. They liked to swim and play with their friends. Sometimes they saw other fish who did amazing things, like jumping out of the water or making bubbles. + +One day, Lily and Ben saw a group of fish who were performing a show. They were spinning and flipping and making shapes with their tails. Lily and Ben watched with wonder. They wanted to perform too. + +"Can we join them?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "They look very good. We are just regular fish." + +"But we can try," Lily said. "Maybe they will teach us." + +Lily and Ben swam closer to the group of fish. They saw a big fish who seemed to be the leader. He had bright colors and a long fin. + +"Hello," Lily said. "We like your show. Can we perform with you?" + +The big fish looked at them and smiled. + +"Sure," he said. "We are always happy to have new friends. What can you do?" + +Lily and Ben thought for a moment. They did not know any tricks like the other fish. + +"We can swim fast," Ben said. + +"And we can sing," Lily said. + +"That's great," the big fish said. "Why don't you show us?" + +Lily and Ben swam fast around the reef. They sang a song they learned from their mom. The other fish watched and clapped their fins. + +"You are very good," the big fish said. "You have talent. Do you want to join our show?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They were very happy. They had made new friends and learned to perform. They felt proud of being regular fish. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they want to go on a trip to the park. The park is far away, so they need to take the bus. + +They wait for the bus with their moms. Anna has a new doll. She loves her doll. She gives her doll a hug and a kiss. Ben sees the doll and wants to play with it. He asks Anna, "Can I have your doll?" + +Anna says, "No, this is my doll. You have your car. Play with your car." Ben does not like Anna's answer. He feels angry. He tries to grab the doll from Anna. Anna holds the doll tight. She says, "Stop it, Ben! This is mine!" + +Their moms hear them fight. They are not happy. They say, "Anna, Ben, share your toys. You are friends. Friends share." Anna and Ben do not want to share. They say, "No, this is mine!" + +The bus comes. The moms take Anna and Ben to the bus. They sit on different seats. They do not look at each other. They do not talk to each other. They are not friends anymore. + +The bus takes them to the park. The park is big and green. There are swings and slides and sand. There are many children. Anna and Ben see the children. They want to play with them. But they are shy. They do not know them. They miss each other. + +They look at their toys. They do not feel happy. They think, "Maybe I can share my toy. Maybe my friend will share too. Maybe we can play together." + +They get up from their seats. They walk to each other. They say, "I'm sorry. Do you want to play with my toy?" They smile. They give each other their toys. They hug. They say, "Thank you. You are my friend." + +They go to the park. They play with their toys and the other children. They have fun. They are happy. They are friends again. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. But they did not like to share. When Lila saw Tom with a shiny red ball, she wanted it too. She ran to him and said, "Give me the ball! It is mine!" + +Tom did not want to give the ball. He said, "No, it is mine! I found it first!" He held the ball tight and ran away. Lila chased him and tried to grab the ball. They both shouted and pushed. + +A big man saw them and came over. He was the park keeper. He said, "Stop! What are you doing? You are making a lot of noise and trouble. Why are you fighting over the ball?" + +Lila and Tom both said, "It is mine! It is mine!" They did not listen to the man. They demand the ball. + +The man said, "You are both very rude and selfish. You need to learn to share and be nice. If you do not, I will take the ball away and give it to someone else. Do you want that?" + +Lila and Tom did not want that. They looked at each other and felt sorry. They said, "No, we do not want that. We are sorry. We will share and be nice." + +The man said, "That is good. Here, you can have the ball. But you have to take turns and play together. And you have to say thank you." + +Lila and Tom said, "Thank you, sir. Thank you for the ball." They took the ball and went to play together. They threw the ball and caught it and laughed. They were happy and friendly. + +The man smiled and said, "You are welcome. You are good children. Have fun and be safe." He went to check on the other kids in the park. + +Lila and Tom played until it was dark. Then they saw the light of the moon and the stars. They said, "Wow, look at the light! It is so pretty and bright!" + +They decided to go home and tell their mom and dad about the light and the ball and the man. They said goodbye to each other and hugged. They said, "See you tomorrow. You are my friend." + +They went home and had dinner and a bath. They drank some milk and ate some cookies. The cookies were sour, but they did not mind. They liked sour things. They brushed their teeth and went to bed. They dreamed of the light and the ball and the man. They were happy. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a law: they share their toys and snacks. They are independent. They do not need help from grown-ups. + +One day, a new boy comes to the park. His name is Max. He has a big truck. Ben and Sam want to play with the truck. They ask Max nicely. + +"Can we play with your truck, please?" Ben says. + +"No, it is mine. Go away!" Max says. He is rude. + +Ben and Sam are sad. They do not like Max. They think he is mean. They go to the slide. They have fun. + +Max is alone. He plays with his truck. But he is bored. He sees Ben and Sam on the slide. He wants to join them. He takes his truck and walks to them. + +"Can I play with you, please?" Max says. + +Ben and Sam look at him. They remember his words. They are angry. + +"No, you cannot. You are mean. Go away!" Sam says. + +Max is sad. He realizes he was wrong. He wants to be friends with Ben and Sam. He thinks of a way to say sorry. + +He goes to his truck. He picks it up. He walks to Ben and Sam again. + +"I am sorry. I was rude. You can play with my truck, please. Can I play with you, please?" Max says. + +Ben and Sam are surprised. They see Max is sorry. They decide to give him a chance. They smile. + +"Okay, you can play with us. But you have to follow our law. We share our toys and snacks. Do you agree?" Ben says. + +"Yes, I agree. I want to follow your law. I want to be your friend." Max says. + +Ben and Sam nod. They take turns playing with the truck. They share their snacks. They have fun. They are independent. They do not need help from grown-ups. They are happy. +Tim and Sue like to play in the park. They see a big slide and run to it. They take turns to go down the slide. It is fun. + +But then they see a weird person near the slide. He has a big hat and a long coat. He has a bag in his hand. He looks at Tim and Sue and smiles. + +Tim and Sue feel scared. They want to go away. But the weird person says, "Hello, kids. Do you want to see what is in my bag? I have something for you." + +Tim and Sue shake their heads. They say, "No, thank you. We have to go home." They try to run away. + +But the weird person is faster. He grabs Tim and Sue by their arms. He raises his bag and opens it. He says, "Too bad. You have to see it. It is a surprise." + +Tim and Sue scream. They see something bad in the bag. It is a snake. The snake is angry. It bites Tim and Sue. They feel pain. They cry. + +The weird person laughs. He says, "That is my surprise. I like snakes. Do you like snakes?" + +Tim and Sue do not like snakes. They do not like the weird person. They wish they never saw him. They wish they stayed away from the slide. They wish they were home. But it is too late. The snake is too strong. Tim and Sue fall down. They do not move. They do not play. They do not live. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the house. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben ran into the kitchen and saw a big cupboard. He opened the door and crawled inside. He closed the door behind him and waited for Lily to find him. + +Lily looked everywhere for Ben. She checked under the bed, behind the sofa, in the closet, but she could not find him. She went to the kitchen and saw the cupboard. She thought Ben might be hiding there. She opened the door and saw a lot of pots and pans, but no Ben. + +"Ben, where are you?" she called out. "I give up, you win!" + +There was no answer. Lily was puzzled. She looked inside the cupboard again, but there was still no sign of Ben. She noticed a small hole in the back of the cupboard. She reached her hand inside and felt something soft and warm. It was Ben's shirt! + +"Ben, are you there?" she asked, pulling the shirt. But the shirt came off easily, and there was nothing else in the hole. Lily gasped. Ben had vanished! + +She ran out of the kitchen and looked for her mom. She found her in the living room, reading a book. + +"Mom, mom, something bad happened!" she cried. "Ben is gone! He hid in the cupboard and then he vanished!" + +Mom looked surprised and worried. She put down her book and followed Lily to the kitchen. She saw the cupboard, the hole, and the shirt. + +"Oh, no, this is the broken cupboard!" she said. "It leads to the basement, and the basement door is locked. Ben must have fallen through the hole and got stuck in the basement. Don't worry, Lily, we'll get him out. Come on, let's get the key and open the door." + +Lily felt relieved and hopeful. She hugged her mom and ran with her to the basement door. They unlocked it and opened it. They heard a voice from below. + +"Hello? Is anyone there? I'm scared!" + +It was Ben. He was safe, but he was very dirty and hungry. Mom and Lily went down the stairs and found him sitting on a pile of old boxes. They hugged him and kissed him and told him they were sorry. They helped him up and took him back to the kitchen. They gave him some water and cookies and cleaned his shirt. + +Lily and Ben were happy to see each other again. They decided to never play hide and seek in the house again. They learned that the broken cupboard was not a good place to hide. They learned that sometimes things can vanish, but they can also come back. +Lily loved to read books. She had many books in her room. She liked books with pictures and stories. She read books every day. + +One day, she saw a new book on the shelf. It was a book about police. She liked police. They wore blue and had badges and cars. She wanted to read the book. + +She took the book and opened it. She saw a picture of a police woman. She had long hair and a smile. She was attractive. Lily liked her. + +She read the words under the picture. They said: "This is Anna. She is a police woman. She helps people and catches bad guys. She is brave and kind." + +Lily wanted to be like Anna. She said: "I want to be a police woman too. I want to help people and catch bad guys. I want to be brave and kind." + +She heard a knock on the door. It was her mom. She came in and saw Lily with the book. + +She said: "What are you reading, Lily?" + +Lily showed her the book and said: "I am reading a book about police. Look, this is Anna. She is a police woman. She is attractive. I want to be like her." + +Her mom smiled and said: "That's a nice book, Lily. And Anna is a good role model. You can be anything you want to be, Lily. You are smart and beautiful." + +She hugged Lily and said: "I love you, Lily." + +Lily hugged her back and said: "I love you, mom." +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing on the swings and slide on the slide. But Tom wanted to try something new. He saw a big hill and had an idea. + +"Let's go to the hill and push the moon!" he said to Lily. + +Lily looked at the sky. She saw the moon shining bright. She was confused. + +"How can we push the moon?" she asked. "The moon is very far and very big. We are very small and very near." + +Tom smiled. He was sure he could do it. + +"Come on, it will be fun!" he said. He took Lily's hand and ran to the hill. + +They climbed to the top of the hill. Tom pointed to the moon. + +"See? The moon is right there. We can push it with our hands and make it move." + +Lily shook her head. She did not think it was possible. + +"No, Tom, we can't push the moon. The moon does not move like that. The moon moves by itself. It goes up and down and changes shape. We can only look at the moon and say hello." + +Tom did not listen. He stretched his arms and tried to push the moon. He pushed and pushed and pushed. But nothing happened. The moon stayed where it was. + +Tom was grumpy. He wanted to push the moon. He thought it would be fun. He did not like that Lily was right. + +He frowned and said, "The moon is silly. The moon is mean. The moon does not want to play with us." + +Lily felt sorry for Tom. She knew he was sad. She wanted to cheer him up. + +She hugged him and said, "The moon is not silly. The moon is not mean. The moon is just different. The moon has its own way of playing. The moon likes to shine and smile and wink at us. The moon is our friend." + +Tom looked at Lily. He looked at the moon. He saw the moon shining and smiling and winking at him. He felt better. + +He smiled and said, "You are right, Lily. The moon is our friend. The moon is nice. The moon is fun. Let's say hello to the moon and thank it for playing with us." + +They waved their hands and said, "Hello, moon! Thank you for playing with us! You are the best!" + +The moon winked back and said, "You are welcome, Tom and Lily! You are the best, too! Good night and sweet dreams!" +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the garden. They dig holes and find worms and rocks. Sometimes they find potatoes. Potatoes grow under the ground. They are brown and round and good to eat. + +One day, Tim and Sam find a big potato. It is bigger than their hands. They are very happy. They want to show it to their mom. But they are also very dirty. Their clothes and hands and faces are full of dirt. + +"Mom will be mad if we go inside like this," Tim says. "We have to wash first." + +"But I want to show her the potato now," Sam says. "It is so big and cool." + +"Promise me you will wait," Tim says. "I will be quick. I will wash and then come back. Then we can show her together." + +"OK, I promise," Sam says. He holds the potato in his arms. He thinks it is his best friend. + +Tim runs to the house. He turns on the tap and washes his hands and face. He changes his clothes. He looks clean and nice. He runs back to the garden. + +But Sam is not there. The potato is not there. Tim looks around. He sees Sam at the door of the house. He is holding the potato. He is smiling. He is also very dirty. + +"Sam, you broke your promise!" Tim shouts. "You said you would wait for me!" + +"Sorry, Tim," Sam says. "But I was too excited. I wanted to show mom the potato. Look, she is very happy. She says we can have it for dinner." + +Tim is sad and angry. He feels betrayed. He does not want to share the potato with Sam. He does not want to talk to him. + +"Sam, you are a bad brother," Tim says. "You are also a dirty liar. I don't like you anymore." He turns away and walks to his room. He slams the door. + +Sam feels sorry. He did not mean to hurt Tim. He loves his brother. He loves the potato. He wants to make up with Tim. He thinks of a way to say sorry. + +He takes the potato to the kitchen. He asks mom to help him. He washes the potato. He peels it. He cuts it. He makes potato shapes. He makes a heart, a star, a flower, and a smiley face. He puts them on a plate. He sprinkles some salt and cheese on them. He puts them in the oven. + +He waits for a few minutes. He smells the potato. It smells yummy. He takes it out of the oven. He carries it to Tim's room. He knocks on the door. + +"Tim, can I come in?" Sam says. "I have something for you." + +Tim does not answer. He is still mad. He does not want to see Sam. + +"Please, Tim, open the door," Sam says. "I made you something. I want to say sorry. I want to share the potato with you. I want to be your friend again." + +Tim hears Sam's voice. He hears the word potato. He feels curious. He likes potatoes. He wonders what Sam made. He opens the door. + +He sees Sam holding the plate. He sees the potato shapes. He sees the heart, the star, the flower, and the smiley face. He thinks they are cute. He feels happy. + +"Sam, these are for me?" Tim says. "They look so good. Thank you." + +"Yes, Tim, they are for you," Sam says. "I am sorry I broke my promise. I was wrong. You are a good brother.

It is brown and round and has spots on it. + +"Look, a rock!" Lily says. "Can we play with it?" + +"OK, let's play with it," Ben says. They run to the rock and touch it. It is hard and cold. + +"What can we do with it?" Lily asks. + +"Let's make a house with it," Ben says. "We can use sticks and leaves and flowers." + +They find some sticks and leaves and flowers and put them around the rock. They make a door and a window and a roof. They make a bed and a table and a chair inside. They are happy with their house. + +"Wow, this is a nice house," Lily says. "Can we go inside?" + +"Sure, let's go inside," Ben says. They crawl inside the house and sit on the bed. They pretend to eat and drink and read and sleep. + +"This is fun," Ben says. "We have a friendly house." + +"Yes, we do," Lily says. "We have a friendly rock, too." + +They hug the rock and smile. They play in the house until it is time to go home. They say goodbye to the rock and the house and promise to come back soon. They hold hands and walk to their moms. They are happy. +Ben and Mia went to the zoo with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. They liked the animals, but they loved the show. The show was in a big pool, where dolphins and seals did tricks. They jumped, spun, and splashed. Ben and Mia clapped their hands and shouted "Wow!" + +The staff who worked with the animals were very nice. They wore green shirts and hats. They talked to the children and told them about the animals. They said the animals were smart and friendly, and they needed a lot of care and love.

They had a great time at the zoo. They hugged their mom and dad and said "Thank you for taking us to the zoo!" +Tommy was very bored. He had to go with his mom to the office. The office was a big room with many desks and chairs and computers. Mommy worked on a computer and talked on a phone. Tommy had to sit on a chair and be quiet. + +Tommy did not like the office. He wanted to play with his toys or watch cartoons. He looked around the office and saw many people. Some people smiled at him, but some people looked grumpy. Tommy wondered why they were grumpy. Maybe they did not like the office either. + +Tommy saw a man with a big beard and glasses. He was sitting on a desk next to mommy's desk. He was typing on a computer and frowning. He looked very grumpy. Tommy wanted to make him happy. He got off his chair and walked to the man. + +"Hello, mister," Tommy said. "Why are you grumpy?" + +The man looked at Tommy and sighed. He stopped typing and took off his glasses. + +"I'm grumpy because I have a lot of work to do and no time to do it," the man said. "And because this office is noisy and boring." + +Tommy nodded. He understood. He felt the same way. + +"Maybe you need a break," Tommy said. "Maybe you need to play a game or watch a cartoon. That always makes me happy." + +The man smiled a little. He liked Tommy's idea. + +"Maybe you're right, kid," the man said. "Maybe I do need a break. Do you want to play a game with me?" + +Tommy nodded. He was happy. He liked games. + +"Sure, mister," Tommy said. "What game do you want to play?" + +The man thought for a moment. He looked at his computer and had an idea. + +"How about we play tic-tac-toe?" the man said. "Do you know how to play tic-tac-toe?" + +Tommy nodded. He knew how to play tic-tac-toe. He liked tic-tac-toe. + +"OK, mister," Tommy said. "Let's play tic-tac-toe." + +The man opened a new document on his computer and drew a grid with his mouse. He let Tommy go first. Tommy clicked on a square and made an X. The man clicked on another square and made an O. They took turns until Tommy won. + +"Yay, I won!" Tommy said. He clapped his hands and laughed. + +"Good job, kid," the man said. He clapped his hands and laughed too. + +They played again and again. They had fun. They forgot about their work and their boredom.

They want to have fun. They see the bookshelf. They have an idea. + +"Let's jump on the bookshelf!" Tom says. "We can reach the top books!" + +Mia nods. She thinks it is a good idea. They move their toys away. They climb on the bookshelf. They start to jump. + +"Look, I can touch this book!" Tom says. He grabs a book. It is red and shiny. + +"Me too, me too!" Mia says. She jumps higher. She reaches for a book. It is blue and soft. + +But the bookshelf is not strong. It shakes and wobbles. The books fall down. The bookshelf tips over. Tom and Mia scream. + +"Help, help!" they cry. + +Mom hears them. She runs to their room. She sees the mess. She sees Tom and Mia under the bookshelf. She is scared. + +"Are you okay?" she asks. She lifts the bookshelf. She hugs Tom and Mia. + +They are not hurt. They are only scared. They cry and say sorry. + +"Shh, shh, it's okay," Mom says. "You are safe now. But you should not jump on the bookshelf. It is dangerous. You could get hurt. You should be careful." + +Tom and Mia nod. They understand. They say sorry again. They help Mom clean up. They promise to not jump on the bookshelf again. They hug Mom. They love Mom. Mom loves them. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big field behind their house, where they could run and jump and roll. Sometimes they saw animals in the field, like birds and rabbits and cows. They liked to watch them and make noises like them. + +One day, they saw a new animal in the field. It was big and hairy and had horns. It looked like a cow, but it was not a cow. It was a bull. Tim and Kim did not know what a bull was, but they wanted to see it closer. They ran towards it, waving their arms and shouting. + +The bull did not like Tim and Kim. It did not like their noise and their movement. It felt angry and scared. It lowered its head and charged at them, making a loud roar. Tim and Kim were very afraid. They turned around and ran back to their house, but the bull was faster. + +Their mom saw them from the window. She saw the bull chasing them. She was very worried. She grabbed a broom and ran outside. She waved the broom at the bull and shouted, "Go away! Go away!" The bull stopped and looked at her. It did not like the broom. It did not like her voice. It felt more scared. It turned around and ran away, back to the field. + +Tim and Kim reached their house and hugged their mom. They were safe and happy. Their mom was proud and relieved. She said, "You are very brave, but you are also very silly. You should not go near a bull. It is dangerous. It can hurt you. You should stay away from it and be careful in the field." Tim and Kim nodded and said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We will not do it again." Their mom smiled and said, "It's okay. I love you. Now let's go inside and clean up. You are very dirty from the field." Tim and Kim agreed and followed their mom. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to respect the animals in the field and to listen to their mom. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a big box full of shiny things they found or made. They called them jewels. + +"Look, Ben, I found a rare jewel!" Anna said, holding up a blue glass bead. "It's so pretty and sparkly!" + +"Wow, Anna, that's a great jewel!" Ben said. "Can I see it?" + +Anna nodded and threw the bead to Ben. But she threw it too hard and it flew over his head. It landed in the pond, where a big fish was swimming. + +"Oh no, Anna, you lost the rare jewel!" Ben said. "The fish will eat it!" + +Anna felt sad and sorry. She ran to the edge of the pond and tried to see the bead. But it was too deep and dark. She could not see anything. + +"Maybe we can get it back," Ben said. "Let's find a stick and try to fish it out." + +They looked around and found a long stick. They took turns to poke the water with the stick, hoping to touch the bead. But they had no luck. The fish was too fast and smart. It dodged the stick and swam away. + +"Maybe the fish will spit it out," Anna said. "Maybe it doesn't like the taste of the jewel." + +"Maybe," Ben said. "Or maybe it will keep it as its own treasure." + +They waited and watched, but the fish did not spit out the bead. It just swam around, happy and proud. It had a rare jewel in its mouth. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hole in the ground. It is a cave. + +"Let's go inside the cave," Tom says. "It looks fun." + +"No, Tom, it is dark and scary," Lily says. "We don't know what is in the cave. Maybe there are bad things." + +Tom does not listen to Lily. He takes a flashlight and runs to the cave. He wants to see what is in the cave. Lily follows him. She does not want to be alone. + +They go inside the cave. It is very dark and cold. They hear strange noises. They see shadows and shapes. They are afraid. + +"Tom, I don't like this," Lily says. "Let's go back. The park is safe and nice." + +"OK, Lily, you are right," Tom says. "This cave is not fun. It is scary. Let's go back." + +They turn around and walk to the exit. But they see something blocking the way. It is a big bear. The bear is angry. It growls and shows its teeth. It wants to take them. + +Lily and Tom scream. They are very scared. They do not know what to do. They hug each other. + +"Help, help!" they shout. "There is a bear in the cave. Help us!" + +Their parents hear them. They run to the cave. They see the bear. They scare the bear away. They take Lily and Tom out of the cave. They hug them and kiss them. + +"Lily, Tom, are you OK?" they ask. "What were you doing in the cave? It is dangerous. You could have been hurt." + +"We are sorry, Mom, Dad," Lily and Tom say. "We were curious. We wanted to see the cave. But it was not fun. It was scary. We will not go to the cave again. We will stay in the park.

Sam says. + +They are very scared. They cry for help. + +A man hears them. He is the owner of the dog. He comes to the bench. He sees Tim and Sam. He sees his dog. + +"Bad dog! Stop that!" the man says. + +He grabs his dog. He puts a leash on his dog. He says sorry to Tim and Sam. + +"I'm sorry, boys. My dog is naughty. He likes to eat everything. He does not mean to hurt you. Are you OK?" the man says. + +Tim and Sam nod. They are OK. They are not hurt. They are glad the man came. + +"Thank you, mister. Your dog is big and scary. He tried to eat the slide. He tried to eat us." Tim says. + +"Yeah, thank you, mister. Your dog is hungry and loud. He bit the slide. He barked at us." Sam says. + +The man smiles. He gives them a hug. He gives them a cookie. + +"Here, boys. Have a cookie. It is yummy. It is better than the slide. Do not be afraid of my dog. He is friendly. He just needs to learn some manners. Do you want to pet him?" the man says. + +Tim and Sam look at the dog. The dog looks at them. He wags his tail. He licks his lips. + +They are not sure.

She saw the man waving at her. + +"Hello, neighbor," she said. "You have a nice pool. And a nice butterfly." + +"Hello, neighbor," he said. "Your kids are very polite. They can swim in my pool anytime." + +Their mom smiled. She nodded. She said to Lily and Max, "OK, you can swim in the neighbor's pool. But only for a little while. And you have to wear your swimsuits and your floaties. And you have to listen to the man. And you have to come back when I call you. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, mom," they said. "We understand." + +They ran to their house. They got their swimsuits and their floaties. They ran back to the neighbor's pool. They thanked the man. They jumped into the water. They splashed and laughed. They had fun. They saw the butterfly flying over them. It was bright and beautiful. +Tim and Mia were friends who lived next to each other. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they heard a loud boom in the sky. They looked up and saw bright colors and sparks. They were fireworks! + +"Wow, look at the fireworks!" Tim said. "They are so pretty and loud!" + +"I like the fireworks too!" Mia said. "They make me happy and excited!" + +They watched the fireworks for a long time, until they started to fade away. Then, they heard their moms calling them. + +"Tim, Mia, it's time to go home!" their moms said. "It's late and you need to sleep!" + +"Okay, mom!" Tim and Mia said. They hugged each other and said goodbye. + +"See you tomorrow, Tim!" Mia said. + +"See you tomorrow, Mia!" Tim said. + +They ran to their homes, feeling warm and cozy. They were glad they saw the fireworks together. They were good friends. + +But not everyone was happy that night. Sam was a poor boy who lived in a small and dirty house. He had no toys, no friends, and no mom. His dad was mean and drunk. He often hit Sam and yelled at him. + +"Shut up, you stupid boy!" his dad said. "Stop looking at the fireworks! They are a waste of money and time!" + +"But dad, I like the fireworks!" Sam said. "They make me feel less sad and lonely!" + +"I don't care what you feel!" his dad said. "You are a burden and a nuisance! I wish you would leave me alone!" + +He slapped Sam hard and pushed him to the floor. Sam cried and curled up in a corner. He wished he could leave his dad and his house. He wished he had a friend like Tim or Mia. He wished he could see the fireworks again. He felt cold and scared. He was a poor boy. +Lily liked to play in her mom's room. She liked to look at the shiny things and the soft things. She liked to touch the perfume bottles. They had pretty colors and shapes. She liked to smell the perfume. It made her nose happy. + +One day, Lily saw a new perfume bottle on the dresser. It was pink and round and had a flower on top. Lily wanted to touch it and smell it. She climbed on a chair and reached for the bottle. But she was too small and the bottle was too far. She stretched and stretched, but she could not touch it. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted the perfume. She started to cry. She cried very loud. Her mom heard her cry and came to the room. She saw Lily on the chair and the perfume bottle on the dresser. She knew what Lily wanted. + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "It's okay, Lily. Don't cry. I have a surprise for you." She took the perfume bottle and sprayed some on Lily's wrist. She said, "This is your perfume, Lily. I bought it for you. It smells like roses. Do you like it?" + +Lily sniffed her wrist and smiled. She liked the perfume. It smelled like roses. She said, "Thank you, Mom. I love it. I love you." She hugged her mom and kissed her cheek. Mom kissed her back and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my cheerful girl." They laughed and played with the perfume. Lily was happy. She touched the perfume bottle and smelled the roses. +Tom and Lily were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things and make up stories. But there was one corner that they never went to. It was dark and dusty and full of cobwebs. + +One day, Tom was feeling brave. He wanted to see what was behind the cobwebs. He took a stick and poked at them. He saw a big box with a lock on it. + +"Look, Lily, a box!" he said. "Maybe there is something fun inside." + +Lily was scared. She did not like the cobwebs. She did not like the box. She thought it was a bad idea. + +"Tom, don't touch it!" she said. "It might be dangerous. Maybe there is a monster inside." + +Tom did not listen. He wanted to open the box. He tried to break the lock with the stick. He made a lot of noise. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud growl. Something was moving in the box. Something was angry. + +Tom and Lily were very afraid. They dropped the stick and ran away. They ran down the stairs as fast as they could. They did not stop until they reached their mom. + +"Mom, mom, there is a monster in the attic!" they cried. + +Their mom looked at them. She saw their dirty clothes and their scared faces. She did not believe them. + +"A monster?" she said. "What are you talking about? There is no monster in the attic. You are just making things up." + +She asked them a lot of questions. She wanted to know what they were doing in the attic. She wanted to know why they were so messy. She wanted to know why they were so silly. + +Tom and Lily did not know what to say. They did not want to tell her about the box. They did not want to get in trouble. They did not want to go back to the attic. + +They wished they had never touched the cobwebs. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they had never seen the box. +Sam and Lily liked to play baseball with their dad in the park. They had a small bat, a ball and a glove each. They took turns hitting the ball and catching it. Their dad threw the ball gently and cheered them on. + +One day, an elderly man was sitting on a bench near the park. He watched Sam and Lily play with a smile. He had a big hat and a cane. He looked kind and friendly. + +"Hello, young ones," he said to them. "Do you like baseball?" + +"Yes, we do!" Sam and Lily said together. They ran over to the bench and sat next to him. + +"I used to play baseball when I was your age," the man said. "I was very good at it. I even played for a team once." + +"Wow, that's cool!" Sam said. "What was your team's name?" + +The man thought for a moment. He looked at his hat. It had a letter on it. He pointed to it and said, "We were the Cubs. Do you know the Cubs?" + +Sam and Lily shook their heads. They did not know the Cubs. They only knew their dad's team, the Tigers. + +The man laughed. He said, "The Cubs are a famous baseball team. They play in a big city far away. They have many fans and trophies. But they also have a curse." + +"A curse?" Lily asked. She did not like curses. They sounded scary. + +"Yes, a curse," the man said. "They have not won the big game for a long time. Many people say it is because of a goat." + +"A goat?" Sam and Lily asked. They did not understand. What did a goat have to do with baseball? + +The man nodded. He said, "A long time ago, a man brought a goat to the game. He wanted the goat to watch with him. But the goat smelled bad and made noise. The people did not like the goat. They told the man to leave with his goat. The man was angry. He said, 'You will never win again!' And he left with his goat. And since then, the Cubs have not won the big game." + +Sam and Lily gasped. They felt sorry for the Cubs. They did not think it was fair that a goat could make them lose. + +"That's a sad story," Lily said. + +The man smiled. He said, "It is, but it is also a funny story. And maybe one day, the curse will end. And the Cubs will win again. And the goat will be happy too." + +Sam and Lily smiled too. They liked the man and his story. They said, "Thank you for telling us. We hope the Cubs win soon." + +The man said, "You're welcome. And I hope you keep playing and having fun. You are very good at baseball. Maybe one day, you will play for a team too." + +Sam and Lily said, "Maybe we will. And maybe we will play for the Cubs." + +The man laughed. He said, "That would be wonderful. I would be very proud of you." + +Sam and Lily hugged the man. They said, "We like you. You are very nice." + +The man hugged them back. He said, "I like you too. You are very sweet." + +Then they heard their dad call them. He said, "Come on, kids. It's time to go home." + +Sam and Lily said goodbye to the man. They ran back to their dad. They told him about the man and his story. Their dad listened and smiled. He said, "That's a very interesting story. And that's a very nice man. I'm glad you met him." + +They walked home together, holding hands. They talked about baseball and goats and curses and teams. They were happy and curious and excited. They loved baseball and they loved each other. And they wondered if the Cubs would ever win the big game. +Anna is a big girl. She goes to school with her friends. She likes to learn new things and play with toys. But today is a hard day. Today she has an exam. + +An exam is when the teacher asks you many questions. You have to write the answers on a paper. If you do well, you get a star. If you do not, you get a sad face. Anna is scared of the exam. She does not know all the answers. + +She sits at her desk and looks at the paper. She sees many words and numbers. She does not understand them. She feels lonely. She wants to be with her friends. But they are busy with their papers. She wants to ask the teacher for help. But the teacher says she has to remain quiet. + +She starts to cry. She does not want to do the exam. She wants to go home. She wants to hug her mom. She wants to read a book. She wants to forget the exam. + +"Anna, what is wrong?" The teacher comes to her desk. She sees Anna's tears and paper. She feels sorry for Anna. She knows the exam is hard for her. + +"I can't do it, teacher. It is too hard. I don't know the answers. I am lonely. I want to go home." Anna says between sobs. + +"Shh, Anna, don't cry. You are not alone. I am here to help you. And your friends are here too. They are proud of you for trying. You don't have to do the exam if you don't want to. You can do something else. You can draw a picture or play with the blocks. You can do the exam another day, when you feel ready. OK?" The teacher says gently. + +"Really? I can do that?" Anna asks, wiping her eyes. + +"Yes, really. You can do that. You are a big girl. You can choose what you want to do. Come on, let's go to the corner. There are some crayons and paper. You can draw whatever you want. Maybe you can draw a star for yourself. You deserve a star, Anna. You are a brave and smart girl." The teacher says, smiling. + +Anna smiles too. She feels better. She follows the teacher to the corner. She picks up a crayon and a paper. She starts to draw a star. She is not lonely anymore. She is happy. She forgets the exam. +Anna was a wealthy woman who lived in a big house with her daughter, Lily. She loved Lily very much and wanted to give her everything she could. She bought her many toys, clothes, books and sweets. She also hired a nanny, a teacher and a driver to take care of Lily. + +One day, Anna had to go to work and left Lily with the nanny. Lily was bored and wanted to play with her mother. She asked the nanny, "Where is mama?" + +The nanny said, "Mama is at work. She works hard to make money for you and her." + +Lily said, "I don't want money. I want mama. Can we go see her?" + +The nanny said, "No, we can't. Mama is very busy and we have to stay here. Why don't you play with your toys or read a book?" + +Lily said, "No, I don't want to. I want mama. I miss her." + +The nanny said, "I'm sorry, Lily. But you have to be patient and wait for mama to come back. She will be home soon and she will hug you and kiss you and tell you stories." + +Lily said, "Okay, I will wait. But I hope mama comes back soon. I love her." + +The nanny said, "I know, Lily. I love her too. She is a good mama and she is trying to raise you well. She wants you to be happy and smart and kind. She is proud of you and so am I." + +Lily said, "Thank you, nanny. You are nice and you take care of me. But you are not mama. Mama is the best." + +The nanny said, "You're welcome, Lily. And you are right. Mama is the best. And she loves you more than anything in the world." +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with a lot of rocks. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Ben!" Lily said. "Maybe we will find something fun!" + +"OK, Lily!" Ben said. "But be careful. The rocks are hard and sharp." + +They started to climb the hill. They used their hands and feet to hold on to the rocks. They were very brave and strong. + +Halfway up the hill, Ben saw something shiny. He stopped and looked closer. It was a small piece of gold. He picked it up and showed it to Lily. + +"Look, Lily! I found gold!" Ben said. "We are rich!" + +Lily looked at the gold. She was not impressed. + +"So what?" Lily said. "Gold is just a yellow rock. It is not fun. It is not soft. It is not tasty. It is not useful. I don't want gold. I want to see what is on the other side of the hill." + +Ben shrugged. He did not understand why Lily did not like gold. He thought gold was very nice and valuable. He put the gold in his pocket and followed Lily. + +They reached the top of the hill. They looked over the other side. They saw a big lake with a lot of ducks. The ducks were swimming and quacking. The water was blue and clear. The sun was shining and making the lake sparkle. + +"Wow!" Ben and Lily said. "This is beautiful! This is fun! Let's go and play with the ducks!" + +They ran down the hill and reached the lake. They threw some bread to the ducks and watched them eat. They laughed and clapped. They were very happy and successful. They forgot about the gold. They only cared about the ducks. +Ben and Lily were playing hide and seek in the living room. Ben was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran to the window and hid behind the curtain. She thought Ben would never find her there. + +Ben looked around the room. He saw the sofa, the table, the lamp, and the rug. He did not see Lily. He scratched his head and said, "Where are you, Lily? I can't find you!" + +Lily giggled behind the curtain. She thought she was very clever. She peeked out and saw Ben's back. She wanted to scare him. She jumped out and shouted, "Boo!" + +Ben was startled and turned around. He saw Lily and smiled. He said, "There you are, Lily! You scared me! You are a good hider!" + +But then he saw something else. He saw the curtain was torn. Lily had ripped it when she jumped out. He pointed at the curtain and said, "Oh no, Lily! Look what you did! You broke the curtain! Mom will be mad!" + +Lily looked at the curtain and felt guilty. She did not mean to break it. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't know. I was just playing." + +Ben sighed. He knew Lily was sorry. He said, "It's okay, Lily. We can tell Mom the truth. Maybe she can fix it. Come on, let's go find her." + +Ben and Lily held hands and walked to the kitchen. They hoped Mom would not be too mad. They learned a lesson. They should be careful when they play hide and seek. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing. Lily wants to go on the swing. She asks Tom, "Can you push me on the swing?" + +Tom says, "Yes, I can push you on the swing. But you have to share. I want to go on the swing too." + +Lily says, "OK, I will share. You can go on the swing after me." + +Tom pushes Lily on the swing. Lily feels the wind in her hair. She laughs and says, "This is fun! I like the swing!" + +After a while, Lily gets off the swing. She says, "Thank you, Tom. Now it is your turn. I will push you on the swing." + +Tom goes on the swing. Lily pushes him. Tom feels the sun on his face. He smiles and says, "This is fun! I like the swing too!" + +They take turns on the swing. They have a lot of fun. They are glad. + +Then they see a man with a cart. He has bowls of ice cream. Lily and Tom love ice cream. They run to the man. They ask, "Can we have some ice cream, please?" + +The man says, "Yes, you can have some ice cream. What flavor do you want?" + +Lily says, "I want chocolate." + +Tom says, "I want vanilla." + +The man gives them each a bowl of ice cream. They say, "Thank you, sir." + +They sit on a bench. They eat their ice cream. They lick their spoons. They are happy. + +They say to each other, "This is a good day. We have the swing and the ice cream. We have each other. We are friends." +Tim had a bike with two pedals. He liked to ride his bike fast and far. He did not care if the road was smooth or rough. He did not care if he made his bike dirty or broken. He just wanted to have fun. + +One day, a man came to his house. He had a big truck with many bikes. He said he wanted to sell the bikes to kids who did not have one. He saw Tim's bike and said, "That is a nice bike. Do you want to sell it to me? I will give you money for it." + +Tim thought for a moment. He liked his bike, but he also liked money. He thought he could buy a new bike with the money. He said, "OK, I will sell you my bike." He gave his bike to the man and took the money. + +The man smiled and said, "Thank you, Tim. You are a good boy. You have helped another kid to have a bike." He put Tim's bike in his truck and drove away. + +Tim ran to his mom and showed her the money. He said, "Look, mom, I sold my bike. I have money now. I can buy a new bike." His mom looked at him and said, "Tim, I am sorry, but you made a mistake. You sold your bike for too little money. You cannot buy a new bike with this money. You have to save more money. And you have to take care of your things. Your bike was rough, but it was still good. You should have cleaned it and fixed it. Then you could have kept it or sold it for more money." + +Tim felt sad and sorry. He realized he had been foolish and greedy. He wished he had his bike back. He learned a lesson. He learned to value what he had and to be careful with his choices. He said, "Mom, I am sorry. I was wrong. I will not sell my things again. I will take care of them and be happy with them." His mom hugged him and said, "It's OK, Tim. I forgive you. You are a good boy. You have learned a moral value. You have learned to be grateful and wise." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a big pile of leaves. They run to the pile and jump in. They laugh and throw leaves in the air. + +"Look, Ben, a coat!" Anna says. She sees a red coat under the leaves. She picks it up and puts it on. It is too big for her, but she likes it. It is soft and warm. + +"Wow, Anna, you look lovely!" Ben says. He smiles and claps his hands. He wants to try the coat too. He asks Anna, "Can I wear the coat, please?" + +Anna shakes her head. She says, "No, Ben, it is my coat. I found it first. You can find another coat." + +Ben feels sad. He wants to share the coat with Anna. He thinks Anna is not nice. He says, "Fine, Anna, keep the coat. But I don't want to play with you anymore." He turns around and walks away. + +Anna feels sorry. She likes Ben. She does not want to lose him. She says, "Wait, Ben, don't go. I'm sorry. You can wear the coat too. We can take turns." + +Ben stops and looks back. He sees Anna holding the coat. He sees her eyes. They are wet and shiny. He knows she is sorry too. He says, "OK, Anna, I forgive you. Let's be friends again." + +Anna smiles and runs to Ben. She gives him a hug and the coat. They put the coat on together. It is big enough for both of them. They look funny and happy. They go back to the pile of leaves and kick them. They laugh and play. They are friends. +Lily was going to a party with her mom and dad. She wanted to wear new clothes. She did not like her old clothes. They were too small and too boring. + +She went to her room and looked at her closet. She saw a dress with flowers, a skirt with stars, and a shirt with hearts. She liked them all. She did not know what to wear. + +She called her mom. "Mom, can you help me?" she asked. "I want to wear new clothes." + +Her mom came to her room and smiled. "You have many new clothes, Lily. You got them for your birthday. Do you remember?" + +Lily nodded. She remembered. But she wanted more new clothes. She wanted to look pretty and special. + +Her mom hugged her and said, "You are always pretty and special, Lily. No matter what you wear. But I can help you choose. What do you like best?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked the dress with flowers. It was pink and soft. She liked pink. She said, "I like the dress with flowers. Can I wear it?" + +Her mom said, "Of course you can. It is a beautiful dress. And it matches your shoes and your bow. You will look like a princess." + +Lily smiled and put on the dress with flowers. She looked at herself in the mirror. She liked what she saw. She felt happy and excited. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Now let's go to the party. I'm sure you will have a lot of fun." +Sara liked to look at the shiny things on the tree. They were called ornaments. Some were round and some were star-shaped. Some were red and some were gold. Sara wanted to touch them and play with them. + +But Mom said no. She said the ornaments were not toys. She said they could break or fall. She said Sara had to resist the urge to touch them. She said Sara had to be a good girl and wait for Santa. + +Sara tried to be good. She tried to resist. But one day, when Mom was busy in the kitchen, Sara saw a very pretty ornament. It was modern and shiny. It had a lot of colors and shapes. It looked like a rainbow. Sara wanted it very much. + +She reached for it with her little hand. She grabbed it and pulled it. But it was not easy to take off. It was attached to a string. The string was attached to a branch. The branch was attached to the tree. The tree was big and heavy. + +Sara pulled harder and harder. She did not hear Mom coming. She did not see the tree shaking. She did not notice the other ornaments falling. She only saw the rainbow ornament in her hand. + +Then she heard a loud crash. She looked up and saw the tree on the floor. She saw Mom's face. She saw Mom's eyes. She saw Mom's mouth. Mom was angry and scared. Sara was scared too. + +She dropped the ornament and started to cry. She said she was sorry. She said she could not resist. She said she loved the rainbow ornament. She said she wanted to keep it. + +Mom hugged her and said it was okay. She said she was glad Sara was not hurt. She said she understood Sara's curiosity. She said she loved her very much. She said they would fix the tree and the ornaments. She said they would find a special place for the rainbow ornament. She said it was Sara's gift from Santa. She said Sara was a good girl after all. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They drive them on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa. + +One day, they see a big truck outside. The truck is full of wheat. Wheat is what bread is made of. Tom and Sam think the truck is funny. They want to drive it. + +They sneak out of the house and run to the truck. They climb inside and find the keys. They turn the keys and the truck starts. It makes a loud noise. Tom and Sam laugh. They drive the truck on the road. + +They do not know how to drive well. They hit other cars and trees and signs. They make a big mess. People are angry and scared. They shout and honk and call the police. + +The police come and stop the truck. They take Tom and Sam out. They are not happy. They tell Tom and Sam that they are in big trouble. They call their parents and take them to the station. + +Tom and Sam are sad and sorry. They cry and say they are sorry.

They saw cars and buses and bikes. They saw dogs and cats and birds. They saw flowers and trees and grass. Lila liked to look at everything. She asked her mom many questions. + +"Mom, what is that?" she pointed at a big red truck. + +"That is a fire truck. It helps people when there is a fire," her mom said. + +"Mom, what is that?" she pointed at a yellow sign. + +"That is a stop sign. It tells people to stop and look before they cross the road," her mom said. + +"Mom, what is that?" she pointed at a blue balloon. + +"That is a balloon. It is filled with air. It can fly in the sky," her mom said. + +They reached the shop. It was a modest shop. It was not big or fancy. It had many things inside. It had books and toys and clothes and more. Lila and her mom went inside. They looked around. They wanted to find something nice for Lila's dad. + +"Mom, what about this?" Lila picked up a green hat. + +"That is a nice hat, but your dad already has a hat. He does not need another one," her mom said. + +"Mom, what about this?" Lila picked up a red car. + +"That is a fun car, but your dad does not play with cars. He likes to read and write and draw," her mom said. + +"Mom, what about this?" Lila picked up a blue book. + +"That is a perfect book, Lila. Your dad loves books. He will be very happy with this one. It has stories and pictures and jokes. Let's buy it," her mom said. + +They went to the counter. They paid for the book. They wrapped it in paper. They put a bow on it. They wrote a card. They said, "Happy birthday, dad.

She sees the bird's eyes are wide and its heart is beating fast. + +"Don't worry, Anna. I will help the bird. I will feed it and make it better," Ben says. He brings the bird inside the house and puts it in a shoebox. He finds some bread and water and breaks them into small pieces. + +"Here, birdie, eat this. It will make you strong," Ben says. He holds a piece of bread in his finger and offers it to the bird. The bird is fearful at first, but then it sees that Ben is kind and gentle. It opens its beak and takes the bread from Ben's finger. + +"Good birdie, good birdie," Ben says. He strokes the bird's feathers softly. The bird makes a happy sound and nibbles on Ben's finger. + +"Wow, Ben, you are so brave and nice. You made a new friend," Anna says. She comes closer and looks at the bird. The bird looks at her and tilts its head. + +"Hello, birdie. I am Anna. Ben is my brother. We want to help you," Anna says. She smiles and holds out her finger. The bird hops onto her finger and nuzzles her hand. + +"Hello, Anna. Hello, Ben. Thank you for helping me. You are good friends," the bird says. Anna and Ben are surprised and happy.

They both say thank you for the lucky penny. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and dolls. One day, they have a big fight. Anna wants to build a house with the blocks, but Ben wants to make a car. They yell and push each other. They are very sad and angry. + +Anna and Ben go to their own corners. They do not talk or look at each other. They play alone, but they do not have fun. They miss their friend. They want to say sorry, but they do not know how. + +Then, they hear a loud crash. They turn and see that their teacher has dropped a glass. The glass is broken. There are many sharp pieces on the floor. The teacher is scared and hurt. She has a cut on her hand. She needs help. + +Anna and Ben forget their fight. They run to their teacher. They say, "Are you okay? Do you need a band-aid? We can help you clean up." They unite to help their teacher. They are careful not to touch the glass. They use a broom and a dustpan. They throw the glass in the trash. They give their teacher a hug and a band-aid. + +The teacher smiles and thanks them. She says, "You are very kind and brave. You are good friends. I am proud of you." Anna and Ben smile too. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They are happy and glad. They go back to play with the blocks and the dolls. They share and take turns. They have fun. They are friends again. +Sam and Mia liked to play with their big white ball. They would bounce it to each other and catch it with their hands. Sometimes they would bounce it on the ground and try to make it go high in the air. + +One day, they decided to play with their ball in the park. They found a nice spot with green grass and some trees. They started to bounce their ball and have fun. + +"Look, Mia, I can bounce it really high!" Sam said, and threw the ball with all his strength. + +"Wow, Sam, that's amazing!" Mia said, and watched the ball fly up and up. But then, something bad happened. The ball hit a branch of a big tree and got stuck. + +"Oh no, our ball!" Sam and Mia cried. They ran to the tree and tried to get their ball back. But the tree was too tall and the branch was too far. They could not reach their ball. + +They felt very sad and looked at their ball. It was still white, but now it was not bouncing. It was just sitting on the branch, like a bird. + +"Maybe we can find someone to help us," Mia said, and looked around. But there was no one in the park. Everyone had left. + +They felt even sadder and hugged each other. They did not know what to do. + +But then, they heard a loud bark. They turned and saw a big dog running towards them. It was brown and furry and had a friendly face. It wagged its tail and licked their faces. + +"Hi, doggy!" Sam and Mia said, and petted the dog. The dog seemed to like them and barked again. + +Then, the dog looked at the tree and saw their ball. It barked louder and jumped up and down. It wanted to play with their ball. + +"Maybe the dog can get our ball," Sam said, and pointed at the tree. + +"Good idea, Sam," Mia said, and clapped her hands. "Come on, doggy, get our ball!" + +The dog barked and ran to the tree. It jumped as high as it could and caught the ball with its mouth. It pulled the ball down and ran back to Sam and Mia. It dropped the ball at their feet and wagged its tail. + +"Yay, doggy, you did it!" Sam and Mia cheered, and hugged the dog. They picked up their ball and thanked the dog. The dog barked and licked their faces again. + +They were very happy and decided to play with their ball and the dog. They bounced their ball and threw it for the dog to catch. The dog was very good at catching and brought the ball back every time. + +They had a lot of fun and made a new friend. They forgot about their sadness and smiled. They never wanted to leave. +Lily liked to sing and dance. She learned many songs and dances from her mom and dad. They sang and danced with her at home and sometimes in the park. Lily was happy when she sang and danced. + +One day, Lily's mom and dad took her to a big place with many seats and a stage. They said they were going to see a show. Lily was excited.

They sang and danced and made jokes. Lily laughed and clapped. She liked the show. She wanted to join them. + +When the show was over, the people on the stage bowed and smiled. The people in the seats stood up and clapped. They clapped very hard and loud. They liked the show too. Lily clapped hard and loud. She was happy. + +Lily's mom and dad took her hand and walked to the left. They said they were going to meet the people on the stage. Lily was surprised. She wanted to meet them. She wanted to tell them she liked their show. She wanted to sing and dance with them. + +They went to a room behind the stage. They saw the people from the show. They were still wearing their colorful clothes and funny hats. They smiled and said hello. Lily's mom and dad said they were friends with them. They said they were proud of them. They hugged and kissed them. + +Lily was shy. She hid behind her mom and dad. The people from the show saw her. They said she was cute. They said they liked her clapping. They asked her if she liked to sing and dance. Lily nodded. She liked to sing and dance. + +The people from the show invited Lily to sing and dance with them. They said they had a song and a dance for her. They said it was easy and fun. Lily was curious. She wanted to try. She left her mom and dad and went to the stage. + +The people from the show taught Lily the song and the dance. It was a song and a dance about animals. Lily liked animals. She learned the words and the moves. She sang and danced with them. She was happy. + +Lily's mom and dad watched from the seats. They saw Lily on the stage. They saw her sing and dance with the people from the show. They saw her smile and laugh. They were happy too. They clapped for her. They clapped hard and loud. They applauded her. +Ben and Lily liked to go to the creek near their house. They liked to see the fish and the frogs and the ducks. They also liked to throw stones and sticks in the water and watch them splash. + +One day, they saw a big, hairy dog by the creek. The dog was barking and growling and showing its teeth. Ben and Lily were scared. They wanted to run away, but the dog was blocking their way. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "There is a mean dog here!" + +A man came running from the other side of the creek. He was the dog's owner. He called the dog and put a leash on it. + +"I'm sorry, kids. He is not mean, he is just scared. He doesn't like strangers. He is a good dog, really. His name is Max." + +The man let Ben and Lily pet Max. Max licked their hands and wagged his tail. He was not so scary anymore. + +"See? He is friendly now. He just needs to know you better. You should always be careful around dogs you don't know. They might be afraid or hurt or sick. You should always ask the owner before you touch them. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said sorry to the man and to Max. They learned to be more respectful and kind to animals. They also learned to be brave and ask for help when they needed it. They thanked the man and Max and went back to their house. They still liked to go to the creek, but they always looked for Max and said hello to him. +Tom and Amy are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big oak tree in the park.

She uses some acorns and leaves and stones as food. + +"Hello, welcome to my restaurant!" Amy says. "What do you want to order?" + +Tom looks at the menu that Amy made with a paper and a crayon. He sees some funny names for the food, like acorn soup, leaf salad and stone cake. + +"Hmm, I want to order acorn soup and leaf salad, please!" Tom says. + +"OK, coming right up!" Amy says.

It was shiny and had a rainbow on the wrapper. They wanted to buy it, but it was too expensive. + +"Let's raise money for the gum," Sam said. "We can sell our old toys and books." + +"Good idea," Mia said. "We can also do chores and help people." + +They worked hard for a week. They sold their things, cleaned their rooms, helped their neighbors and saved their coins. They finally had enough money for the rare gum. + +They ran to the store and bought the gum. They were so happy and excited. They opened the wrapper and split the gum in half. They put it in their mouths and chewed. + +But the gum was not good. It was sour and bitter and made their tongues hurt. They spit it out and cried. + +They had wasted their money and their things for a bad gum. They wished they had never seen the rare gum. They hugged each other and said sorry. They learned a hard lesson. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had many screws and pieces of wood and metal. They wanted to make something with them. + +"Let's build a robot!" Tom said. He took a screw and tried to put it in a hole. + +"Let's build a car!" Sam said. He took another screw and tried to put it in a different hole. + +They started to argue and pull the screws from each other. They did not share or help each other. They made a big mess and broke some of the pieces. + +Dad came and saw what they had done. He was not happy. He said, "Boys, what are you doing? You have wasted the screws and the materials. You have not made anything. You have only fought and hurt each other." + +Tom and Sam felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Dad. We wanted to make something cool, but we did not agree or work together." + +Dad said, "You can make something cool, but you have to cooperate and respect each other. Screws are not for fighting, they are for joining. If you use them well, you can create something amazing." + +He showed them how to use the screws and the pieces to make an enormous robot car. It had wheels and arms and eyes and a mouth. It could move and talk and beep. + +Tom and Sam were very happy. They thanked Dad and hugged him. They said, "We love you, Dad. We love our robot car. We hope we can play with it together and have fun." + +Dad smiled and said, "I love you too, boys. I hope you have learned your lesson. Sharing and helping are better than fighting and hurting. And screws are for joining, not for pulling." +Lily liked to watch her favorite show on the screen. She sat on the couch with her teddy bear and smiled at the funny animals. She did not like it when someone disturbed her. + +One day, her big brother Tom came into the living room. He wanted to play a game on the screen. He took the remote and changed the channel.

He has a leash and a collar. He is the dog's owner. He calls the dog and puts the leash and the collar on it. He says sorry to Ben and Lily. He says the dog is not mean, just playful. He says he will buy them a new ball and frisbee. + +Ben and Lily stop crying. They say thank you to the man. They are not scared of the dog anymore. They pet the dog and say hello. The dog licks them and wags its tail. It is not ugly, just messy. Ben and Lily smile. They are happy. They make a new friend. +Tom and Lily like to play near the pond. They see ducks and frogs and fish. Sometimes they throw bread for the ducks. The ducks come and eat the bread. Tom and Lily are happy. + +One day, Tom has a new idea. He wants to get a duck. He thinks ducks are fun and soft. He tells Lily his idea. Lily says no. She says ducks are not pets. They belong in the pond. Tom is stubborn. He does not listen to Lily. + +He runs to the pond and tries to catch a duck. The duck is scared and angry. It quacks and flaps its wings. It bites Tom's hand. Tom cries. He lets go of the duck. The duck swims away. + +Lily runs to Tom and hugs him. She says sorry. She says she was right. Ducks are not pets. They belong in the pond. Tom says sorry too. He says he was wrong.

She smiles. + +"Playing is good, but you have to be careful," mom says. "You can't jump on the sofa. You can't make so much noise. And you have to clean up the masks." + +Lily and Sam are sorry. They say sorry to mom. They take off the masks and put them away. They tidy up the room. + +Mom is happy. She hugs them and says, "Thank you, Lily and Sam. You are good friends. Now, do you want a snack?" + +Lily and Sam nod. They are hungry. They go to the kitchen with mom. They are still cheerful. They love to play. +Sam was a fish who liked to spray ink. He thought it was fun to make big clouds of black ink in the water. He sprayed ink at his friends, at the rocks, at the plants, and at the other animals. He did not care if they got angry or scared. He just laughed and swam away. + +One day, Sam saw a big boat on the water. He wanted to spray ink at it. He thought it would be funny to make the boat dirty. He swam closer and closer to the boat. He did not see the net that the boat had. The net was for catching fish. The net was reliable. It did not break or let go. + +Sam swam right into the net. He felt something tight around him. He tried to get out, but he could not. He was stuck. He was scared. He wanted to spray ink, but he had no ink left. He had used it all for fun. He had no ink to hide or to help him. He had no friends to help him either. They were all mad at him for spraying ink at them. + +The boat pulled up the net. Sam saw the people on the boat. They looked happy. They had caught a lot of fish. They saw Sam too. They did not like Sam. They thought he was ugly and bad. They threw him away. Sam fell into the air. He could not breathe. He could not swim.

Sam says, showing Tim a red car with a button on the roof. "If I press this, it shoots a missile and boom!" + +"Wow, that's cool!" Tim says, admiring the car. "Can I try it?" + +"OK, but be careful. Don't shoot the missile at anything bad. Only at the bad guys." Sam says, handing the car to Tim. + +Tim takes the car and presses the button. A small plastic missile flies out of the car and lands on the fence. Tim laughs and presses the button again. Another missile shoots out and hits a flower pot. The pot breaks and the dirt spills out. + +"Hey, stop that!" Sam says, grabbing the car back. "You're not supposed to shoot the missile at the flowers. They are not bad guys. They are pretty and nice." + +"Sorry, Sam. I didn't know." Tim says, feeling sorry. "I just wanted to see how fast the missile goes." + +"Well, now you know. The missile goes very fast, but you have to be careful where you shoot it. You can't break things or hurt things with it. That's not nice." Sam says, shaking his head. + +"OK, Sam. I understand. Can we still play with the car?" Tim asks, hoping Sam is not mad. + +"Sure, we can still play with the car. But only if you promise to be good and not shoot the missile at anything bad. Do you promise?" Sam asks, looking at Tim. + +"I promise, Sam. I will be good and not shoot the missile at anything bad." Tim says, nodding. + +"OK, then. Let's play." Sam says, smiling.

I'm glad you had fun in the garden. And I'm grateful for you both." +Sam liked to design machines with his blocks and toys. He had a big box of blocks, and he used them to make cars, planes, robots and more. He also had some old buttons, wires and tubes that he found in the garage. He used them to make his machines look more real and cool. + +One day, he decided to design a machine that could make food. He thought it would be fun to surprise his mom and dad with a tasty snack. He used some blocks to make a box with a hole on top. He put some buttons and wires on the side, and a tube on the front. He said, "This is my food machine. It can make any food I want. Watch this!" + +He took a banana from the kitchen and put it in the hole. He pressed a button and waited. A few seconds later, a banana came out of the tube. Sam smiled and said, "See? It works! Now I can make more food. What do you want, Mom?" + +Mom came to see what Sam was doing. She saw his food machine and said, "Wow, Sam, you are very clever. You designed a machine that can make food. That's amazing. But how do you choose what kind of food it makes?" + +Sam said, "I use these buttons. They have different colors and shapes. They tell the machine what food to make. This one is for sweet food, this one is for salty food, this one is for spicy food, and this one is for surprise food. You can try it if you want." + +Mom said, "OK, I'll try it. I like spicy food, so I'll press this button." She pressed the button with a red star on it. She waited for the food to come out of the tube. She hoped it would be something yummy, like chili or curry. + +But instead of something yummy, a red pepper came out of the tube. Mom took it and bit it. It was very spicy. It made her mouth burn and her eyes water. She said, "Ahh! Sam, this is too spicy. This is not food, this is fire. Where did you get this pepper?" + +Sam said, "I got it from the garden. I saw it there and I thought it looked like a star. I thought it would be good for spicy food. I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't know it was so spicy. Do you want some water?" + +Mom said, "Yes, please. And maybe some bread. And some milk. And some ice cream. And some honey. And some cheese. And some..." She ran to the kitchen to find something to cool her mouth. + +Sam felt bad. He wanted to make his mom happy, not hurt her. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'll fix my food machine. I'll make it better. I'll make it only make yummy food. I'll design a new button for you. A button that makes food that you like. A button that makes food that is not spicy. A button that makes food that is... what do you like, Mom?" + +Mom came back from the kitchen. She had a glass of water and a slice of bread. She said, "I like food that is sweet and soft and smooth. I like food that is like... pudding. Can you make pudding, Sam?" + +Sam said, "Yes, I can. I can make pudding. I'll design a button for pudding. A button that is yellow and round and has a smiley face on it. A button that makes pudding. Do you want to try it, Mom?" + +Mom said, "Yes, I do. I'll try it. But only if you try it with me. And only if you promise to never use the spicy button again. Deal?" + +Sam said, "Deal. Let's try it. Let's make pudding." He pressed the yellow button and waited. A few seconds later, a bowl of pudding came out of the tube. It was yellow and round and had a smiley face on it. It looked yummy. Sam and Mom took spoons and tasted it. It was sweet and soft and smooth. It was pudding. They smiled and said, "Mmm, this is good. This is yummy. This is pudding. Thank you, Sam. You are a great designer. You made a great food machine. And a great pudding button. We love you, Sam." + +Sam said, "I love you too, Mom. And I love pudding. And I love designing machines. But I don't love spicy food. No more spicy food for me. Only pudding. And maybe some banana. And some surprise food. But only if it's good. And not spicy. Can we have some more pudding, Mom?" + +Mom said, "Sure, Sam. We can have some more pudding. As much as +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with paper and scissors.

He says, "No, Sara, those are mom's scissors. They are not for us. They are sharp and can hurt you. Give them back!" + +Sara says, "No, Ben, I want them. They are better than ours. They cut faster and smoother. Go away!" + +Ben tries to grab the scissors from Sara, but she pulls them away. They fight and tug and yell. The scissors slip and cut the paper. The paper tears and rips. The animals and flowers are ruined. The paper is a mess. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees the paper and the scissors and the twins. She is very angry and sad. She says, "Sara and Ben, what have you done? You have wasted the paper and ruined your art. You have used my scissors without asking. You have fought and hurt each other. You have been wild and naughty. Go to your room now!" + +Sara and Ben feel bad and sorry. They cry and say, "We are sorry, mom. We were wrong. We won't do it again. Please forgive us." + +Mom says, "I love you, Sara and Ben, but you have to learn to share and be careful. You have to respect my things and your own. You have to be kind and gentle.

The dog was brown and fluffy and had a collar with a tag. + +"Hi, doggy!" Ben said, walking up to the dog. He reached out his hand to pet the dog. + +"Wait, Ben!" Mia said, grabbing his arm. "You need a license to pet the dog!" + +"A license? What's that?" Ben asked, looking confused. + +"A license is a card that says you can do something. Like driving a car or petting a dog. You have to ask the dog's owner first," Mia explained. + +"Who's the dog's owner?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe Mommy or Daddy. Let's go ask them," Mia said. + +They left their cars on the sofa and ran to the kitchen, where Mommy and Daddy were making lunch. + +"Mommy, Daddy, can we pet the dog on the sofa?"

It wants their sandwiches. + +"Help, help, help," says Lily. "The dog is scary. It will take our sandwiches." + +"Shoo, shoo, shoo," says Ben. "Go away, dog. These are our sandwiches." + +The dog does not listen. It jumps on the bench and grabs Ben's sandwich. It runs away with it in its mouth. + +"Hey, hey, hey," says Ben. "That is my sandwich. Give it back, dog." + +Lily laughs. She thinks it is funny. She says, "Silly dog. Silly Ben. You should have eaten cheese. Cheese is better than ham." + +Ben is sad. He says, "No, no, no. Cheese is worse than ham. Ham is better than cheese." + +They argue and argue. They do not hear their mom calling them. She says, "Lily, Ben, it is time to go home. Come on, hurry up." + +They stop arguing. They say, "OK, mom. We are coming." + +They pack their things and follow their mom. They leave the park. They do not see the dog. The dog is happy. It has eaten the sandwich. It thinks, "Yum, yum, yum. I like ham. It is juicy and salty." +Tom was a curious boy who liked to explore the woods near his home. One day, he saw a big oak tree with many branches and leaves. He wanted to climb it and see what was on top. He asked his mom if he could go, and she said yes, but be careful and come back soon. + +Tom ran to the oak tree and started to climb. He felt the bark under his hands and feet, and the wind in his hair. He saw birds and squirrels and bugs on the way. He was very happy and excited. He reached the top and looked around. He saw the sky, the sun, the clouds, and the other trees. He felt like he was flying. + +He stayed there for a long time, enjoying the view. He did not notice that it was getting dark and cold. He started to feel tired and sleepy. He yawned and rubbed his eyes. He wanted to go back to his mom, but he did not know how to climb down. He was scared and sad. He wished he had listened to his mom and come back sooner. + +He curled up on a branch and tried to keep warm. He hoped his mom would find him. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. He dreamed of his mom, his home, and his bed. + +Meanwhile, his mom was looking for him. She was worried and angry. She called his name and searched the woods. She saw the oak tree and noticed something on top. She saw Tom's red shirt and blue jeans. She realized he was there. She shouted his name and told him to wake up. She climbed the tree and reached him. She hugged him and kissed him. She was relieved and happy. + +She carried him down and took him home. She scolded him and told him not to do that again. She also praised him and told him he was brave and smart. She gave him a warm bath, a hot soup, and a soft blanket. She tucked him in and read him a story. She said she loved him and he said he loved her. He apologized and thanked her. He smiled and fell asleep. He was safe and cozy. +Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play together every day. They have a big dream. They want to marry each other when they grow up. + +One day, they find a cute ring in the park. It is shiny and has a pink stone. Lily puts it on her finger and says, "Look, Ben, I have a ring. Now we can marry!" + +Ben is happy and says, "Yes, Lily, you are my bride. Let's have a wedding!" + +They run to the playground and find a slide. They say the slide is their church. They climb up the slide and hold hands. They say, "I do, I do, I do!" + +But then, a big boy comes. He sees the ring on Lily's finger. He wants the ring. He says, "Hey, that's my ring! I lost it yesterday. Give it back!" + +Lily and Ben are scared. They say, "No, this is our ring! We are married!" + +The big boy is angry. He tries to grab the ring from Lily. Lily and Ben scream. They slide down the slide and run away. + +They find a bench and sit down. They hug each other and cry. They say, "We don't want to give up our ring. We love our ring. We love each other." + +They look at the ring and see it is still shiny and cute. They smile and say, "Don't worry, Ben, don't worry, Lily. We will keep our ring. We will wait until we grow up. Then we will marry for real!" +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to eat cereal for breakfast. They had a big box of cereal with many colors and shapes. They poured some cereal into their bowls and added milk. They were very hungry and happy. + +But then, their mom came into the kitchen and looked at them. She was not happy. She had a pale face and a loud voice. She said, "Ben and Lily, you are making a mess! Look at the floor! There is cereal and milk everywhere! You have to clean up and shut the box!" + +Ben and Lily were scared of their mom. They did not like to see her pale and hear her loud. They said, "Sorry, mom. We did not mean to make a mess. We will clean up and shut the box." + +They got a cloth and a broom and started to wipe and sweep the floor. They tried to be fast and quiet. They hoped their mom would be happy again. They also shut the box of cereal and put it back on the shelf. + +Their mom saw them working hard and felt sorry for them. She said, "Thank you, Ben and Lily. You are good kids. I am sorry I was pale and loud. I had a bad headache and I was in a hurry. I love you very much. How about we hug and share some cereal?" +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with toy cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks of different colors and sizes. They pretend that the cars and trucks need fuel to go fast and far. + +One day, they find a big bottle of water in the kitchen. They think it is fuel for their cars and trucks. They pour some water into a small cup and take it to their room. They choose which cars and trucks they want to fill with fuel. They take turns to dip the cars and trucks into the cup and make zooming noises. + +They have fun for a while, but then they notice that the water is making the cars and trucks wet and sticky. They also see that some of the water has spilled on the floor and the bed. They worry that Mom will be angry. They try to dry the cars and trucks with a towel, but it does not work very well. + +They hear Mom coming up the stairs. They quickly hide the bottle of water and the cup under the bed. They hope that Mom will not see them. They pretend to play with other toys that are not wet. + +Mom opens the door and smiles. She says, "Hi, boys. What are you playing with?" She looks around the room and sees the wet and sticky cars and trucks. She also sees the water under the bed. She frowns and says, "Oh, no. What have you done? This is not fuel. This is water. Water is not good for cars and trucks. It can make them rust and break. You should not play with water like this. You should be more careful." + +Tom and Sam feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We thought it was fuel. We wanted to make the cars and trucks go fast and far. We did not mean to make a mess." + +Mom sighs and says, "I know, boys. I know you like to play and pretend. But you have to learn to choose the right things to play with. Water is not fuel. Water is for drinking and washing and watering plants. Fuel is for real cars and trucks, not toys. Fuel is high and dangerous. You should not touch it or play with it. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sam nod and say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We are sorry. We will not do it again." + +Mom hugs them and says, "It's okay, boys. I love you. But you have to help me clean up this mess. And then we will find some other things to play with. Things that are safe and fun. Okay?" + +Tom and Sam say, "Okay, Mom. We love you too." They help Mom clean up the room and the toys. They learn their lesson and choose better things to play with next time. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Lily has a pretty camera. It is pink and has flowers on it. She likes to take photos of the birds and the trees. + +One day, Lily and Ben see a big dog in the park. It is brown and has a long tail. It is running and jumping. Lily wants to take a photo of the dog. She says to Ben, "Look at the dog! It is so funny. I want to take a photo of it. Can you help me?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, I can help you. Let's go closer to the dog. But be careful. Don't scare it." They walk slowly to the dog. Lily holds her camera. She is ready to take a photo. + +But then, the dog sees them. It barks and runs to them. It is not angry. It is friendly. It wants to play. It licks Lily's face and jumps on Ben. They laugh and pet the dog. The dog wags its tail. + +Lily forgets about her camera. She drops it on the grass. The dog sees the camera. It thinks it is a toy. It picks it up with its mouth and runs away. Lily and Ben are shocked. They say, "Oh no! The dog has my camera! Come back, dog! Give me my camera!" + +They chase the dog. But the dog is faster. It runs to the other side of the park. It meets another dog. It drops the camera and plays with the other dog. Lily and Ben catch up. They see the camera on the ground. They are happy. They say, "There is my camera! It is not broken. Thank you, dog!" + +They pick up the camera. They look at the photos. They see a photo of the dog's face. It is funny. They laugh and say, "The dog took a selfie! What a silly dog! It is a good photo. We will keep it." + +They wave to the dog and the other dog. They say, "Bye, dog! You are a nice dog. But don't take my camera again. It is mine. I own it." They go back to their parents. They show them the photo of the dog. Their parents smile and say, "What a cute dog! And what a pretty camera! You are good at taking photos, Lily. Well done!" Lily and Ben are proud. They hug their parents. They are happy. The end. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play dress up. They have many hats and coats and shoes. They can be anyone they want. + +One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has a sign that says "Dad's old stuff". They open the box and see many things. They see a helmet, a mask, a suit, and a tank. They look like a space man. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sara says. "Let's wear it and go to the moon!" + +"Okay, but be careful," Ben says. "This is gas. It helps you breathe. Don't break it or lose it." + +They put on the helmet, the mask, the suit, and the tank. They feel heavy and funny. They walk to the backyard. They pretend they are on the moon. They jump and run and make noises. + +They have fun for a long time. Then they hear Mom call them. "Sara! Ben! Time for lunch!" + +They take off the helmet, the mask, the suit, and the tank. They put them back in the box. They run to the house. + +They see Dad in the kitchen. He is making sandwiches. He sees the box. He smiles. + +"Did you play with my old stuff?" he asks. + +"Yes, we did," Sara says. "We were space men. We went to the moon." + +"That's awesome," Dad says. "You know, I used to wear that when I was a firefighter. I saved many people with that gas. I was very grateful for it." + +"Really?" Ben says. "You were a firefighter? That's so cool!" + +"Yes, I was," Dad says. "But now I'm a teacher. And I'm very grateful for you two. You are my stars." +
