It was almost time for the mail truck to come. Anna and Ben put on their shoes and coats and ran to the car. They were anxious to mail their card. They hoped Grandma would like it. + +Mom drove them to the mail box. It was a big blue box with a slot. Anna and Ben took turns to put their card in the slot. They pushed it hard until it disappeared. They smiled and waved at the mail box. They said "Bye, card! Have a good trip!" + +They got back in the car. Mom said they did a good job. She said Grandma would be very happy to get their card. She said maybe Grandma would call them or send them a card back. + +As they drove away, they saw the mail truck coming.

One day, they want to make something new. They want to make a fly. + +They find a big piece of black paper and cut out a fly shape. They use scissors to cut out the wings, the eyes, the legs and the body. They glue the parts together. They attach a string to the fly. They are very proud of their fly. + +They show their fly to Mom. Mom smiles and says, "What a nice fly! But be careful, some flies are not harmless. Some flies can bite or make you sick." + +Sara and Ben nod. They know Mom is right. They do not want to get bitten or sick. They say, "Our fly is harmless, Mom. It is just paper and glue. It cannot bite or make us sick. It can only fly with the string." + +They take their fly outside. They run and swing the string. The fly flies in the air. It looks like a real fly. Sara and Ben laugh and have fun. They like their fly. They think it is the best thing they ever made with paper and glue. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They found many things in the earth, like stones, worms and shells. + +One day, they saw something shiny in the earth. They dug it out and saw that it was a toy car. But the car was broken. One wheel was missing and the paint was scratched. + +"Look, Lily, a car!" Tom said. + +"But it is broken, Tom. We can't play with it," Lily said. + +"Maybe we can repair it, Lily. We can find a new wheel and some paint," Tom said. + +They looked around the garden for something to use as a wheel. They tried a bottle cap, a button and a cookie, but none of them fit. Then they saw a nut on the ground. It was round and had a hole in the middle. + +"Look, Lily, a nut! Maybe this can be the wheel," Tom said. + +They put the nut on the car and it fit. The car had four wheels now, but it still looked old and dirty. + +"We need some paint, Tom. What color do you like?" Lily said. + +"I like red, Lily. Red is fast and bright," Tom said. + +They looked around the garden for something red.

One day, they see a big truck with a sign. The sign says "Ice Cream". Lily and Ben love ice cream. They run to the truck. + +"Can we have ice cream, please?" they ask their moms. + +"Okay, but only one each," their moms say. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They look at the ice cream flavors. There are many. Lily likes chocolate. Ben likes vanilla. But they also see strawberry, mint, cookie, and more. + +"What do you want?" Lily asks Ben. + +"I don't know. They all look good," Ben says. + +Lily is impatient. She wants her ice cream now. She suggests an idea. + +"Why don't we share?" she says. "You can have half of mine and I can have half of yours. Then we can try two flavors." + +Ben thinks that is a good idea. He agrees. + +They tell the ice cream man their order. He gives them two cones. Lily and Ben swap half of their ice cream.

They were funny and jumped on the trees. + +"Can I buy a monkey, Mom?" Sara asked. + +"No, dear, you can't buy a monkey. Monkeys are wild animals, not pets. They need to live in the zoo or the jungle," Mom said. + +"But I want a monkey. They are so cute and smart. Please, Mom, please," Sara begged. + +Tom heard Sara and laughed. He thought Sara was silly. He did not want a monkey. He wanted a dinosaur. + +"You can't buy a dinosaur, either, Tom. Dinosaurs are extinct. They are not alive anymore. They only exist in books and movies," Dad said. + +"But I want a dinosaur. They are so big and strong. Please, Dad, please," Tom whined. + +Mom and Dad looked at each other.

They decided to buy them. They gave their money to the cashier and took their toys. + +"Thank you, Mom, thank you, Dad. We love our monkey and our dinosaur," Sara and Tom said. + +They hugged their toys and smiled. Mom and Dad were happy. They solved the problem. They left the zoo and went home. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She saw many flowers and bugs. She liked to smell the flowers and watch the bugs. One day, she saw a big bulb in the dirt. It was brown and thick. She wondered what was inside. + +She asked her mom, "What is this?" Mom said, "That is a tulip bulb. It will grow into a beautiful flower. But you have to wait until spring. Then it will open and show its colors." + +Lily wanted to see the flower. She was curious and impatient. She dug up the bulb and took it to her room. She put it on her windowsill. She hoped it would open soon. + +But the bulb did not open. It stayed brown and thick. Lily was sad and bored. She forgot about the bulb. She played with her toys and books.

They found a pretty scarf that was soft and colorful. They liked it so much that they decided to try it on. + +They wrapped the scarf around their necks and pretended to be superheroes. They ran around the house and had fun. But they forgot to put the scarf back in the box. They left it on the floor and went to have a snack. + +When their mom came home, she saw the box and the scarf. She was sad and angry. She asked Tim and Kim who opened the box and played with the scarf. Tim and Kim looked at each other and felt guilty. They knew they did something bad. They said sorry to their mom and hugged her. + +Their mom was still upset, but she forgave them. She told them that they should not open other people's gifts without permission. She said that gifts are a way of showing love and respect. She said that they should be careful with their things and other people's things. She said that they should be honest and admit their mistakes. + +Tim and Kim learned their lesson. They helped their mom wrap the scarf again and put it in the box.

He tried to pull the box, but it was too heavy. + +"Stop it, Tom! You will break it!" Sue said. She pushed the box back. + +They heard a loud noise from downstairs. It was Mom and Dad coming home. + +"Quick, shut the door!" Sue said. They ran to the door and closed it. + +Mom and Dad came up to the attic. They knocked on the door. + +"Tom, Sue, are you there?" Mom said. + +"Yes, Mom," Tom and Sue said. + +"We have something to tell you. Can we come in?" Dad said. + +"OK," Tom and Sue said. They opened the door. + +Mom and Dad smiled and hugged them. + +"Happy birthday, Tom and Sue! We have a special prize for you. It's in the big box," Mom said. + +"Really? Can we open it?" Tom and Sue said. + +"Of course. Go ahead," Dad said. + +Tom and Sue ran to the box and tore off the sticker. They lifted the lid and gasped. + +Inside the box was a big, fluffy, brown teddy bear. It had a red bow around its neck and a tag that said "To Tom and Sue, with love from Mom and Dad". + +"Wow! It's so cute! Thank you, Mom and Dad!" Tom and Sue said. They hugged the teddy bear and each other. + +"You're welcome, sweeties. We're glad you like it. It's a special teddy bear. It can talk and sing and tell stories. It's your new friend," Mom said. + +"Really? That's amazing! Can we hear it?" Tom and Sue said. + +"Sure. Just press its paw and say hello," Dad said. + +Tom and Sue pressed the teddy bear's paw and said hello. + +The teddy bear opened its eyes and smiled. + +"Hello, Tom and Sue. I'm Teddy.

They also had a porch where they could sit and watch the birds and the cars. + +One day, their mom told them to rest on the porch after lunch. She said they had played a lot and needed a nap. Lily and Max did not want to nap. They wanted to keep playing. They thought their mom was not looking, so they sneaked off the porch and ran to the swing. + +"Come on, Max, let's swing high!" Lily said. + +"OK, Lily, let's swing high!" Max said. + +They pushed each other on the swing and laughed. They did not see their mom coming out of the house. She was angry. + +"Lily and Max, you are very naughty!" she said. "You did not listen to me. You did not rest on the porch. You need to go to your room now. No more playing today." + +Lily and Max felt sorry. They knew they had done something bad. They got off the swing and walked to their room. They wished they had rested on the porch. They learned their lesson. Next time, they would do what their mom said. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in their backyard. They had a big tree with many branches and a swing. One day, they saw a man in a suit walking on the street. He had a shiny watch and a phone in his hand. He looked very modern and busy. + +"Who is he?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe he works in a big building," Ben said. + +"Can we say hello to him?" Lily wondered. + +"Sure, let's go," Ben agreed. + +They ran to the fence and waved at the man. The man saw them and smiled. He stopped and came closer. + +"Hello, little ones. What are you doing?" he asked. + +"We are playing in our backyard. We like to climb the tree and swing," Lily said. + +"That sounds fun. I used to climb trees when I was your age," the man said. + +"Really? Do you still climb trees?" Ben asked. + +The man laughed. "No, not anymore. I have to work in a big building and wear a suit. But sometimes I wish I could climb trees again." + +"Why don't you?" Lily asked. + +"Well, it's not very modern or proper for a grown-up to climb trees. People might think I'm silly or childish," the man said. + +"That's sad. Climbing trees is fun and good for you. You should try it sometime," Ben said. + +"Maybe you're right. Maybe I should. Thank you for reminding me of the joy of climbing trees," the man said. + +He looked at his watch and phone. "Oh, I have to go now. I have a meeting soon. It was nice to meet you, Lily and Ben. Have a wonderful day." + +"Bye, mister. Have a good meeting. And don't forget to climb a tree," Lily and Ben said. + +They waved goodbye to the man and ran back to their backyard.

It is her favorite animal. Let's go get it now." mom said. + +Sara's eyes widened. Her favorite animal? What could it be? A cat? A dog? A bunny? She followed them to the car. She saw them take out a big box with holes. She heard a soft sound from inside. + +"Meow, meow." + +Sara gasped. It was a kitten! A fluffy, white kitten with blue eyes.

They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with a swing. Lily wants to go on the swing. She runs to the tree and grabs the rope. + +"Can I go first?" she asks Ben. + +"OK, but be careful," Ben says. He helps Lily sit on the swing. + +Lily feels happy. She kicks her legs and swings high. She sees the sky and the birds. She laughs and sings. + +Ben waits for his turn. He watches Lily swing. He sees a stick on the ground. He picks it up and pretends it is a sword. He swings it in the air and makes noises. + +Lily sees Ben playing with the stick. She thinks it is funny. She wants to play with him. She lets go of the rope and jumps off the swing. + +But she does not land well. She trips on a rock and falls down. She hurts her knee. It bleeds a little. She cries. + +Ben hears Lily cry. He drops the stick and runs to her. He sees her knee. It is pink and red. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he says. "Are you OK?" + +He hugs her and helps her stand up. He takes her to the bench. He finds a tissue in his pocket and wipes her knee. + +"It's OK, Ben," Lily says. "It was an accident. Thank you for helping me." + +She smiles and hugs him back. They sit on the bench and talk.

They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go in the hole!" Ben said. + +"No, it is dark and dirty. We might get lost or hurt." Anna said. + +But Ben did not listen. He jumped into the hole. He landed on something soft and wet. He felt something move under him. He screamed. + +"Help! Help! There is a big worm in the hole!" + +Anna heard Ben's scream. She ran to the hole. She saw Ben's feet sticking out. She grabbed them and pulled. She pulled hard. She pulled Ben out of the hole. + +Ben was covered in mud and slime. He had a bite mark on his leg. He was crying. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I was silly. I regret going in the hole. The worm was scary and mean. It bit me. It hurt." Ben said. + +"It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you are out. But you need to wash and put a bandage on your leg. You don't want to get sick." Anna said. + +She helped Ben to the house. She told their mom what happened. Their mom cleaned and bandaged Ben's leg. She gave him a hug and a cookie. + +"Next time, listen to Anna. She is smart and careful. She wants you to be safe and healthy." Their mom said. + +Ben nodded. He hugged Anna and said thank you.

They had a lot of fun together. + +But the cat was also very hungry. He saw a big bowl of milk on the table. He wanted to drink it all. He thought of a plan. He said to the dog, "Let's play a new game. I will hide and you will find me. But you have to count to ten first." + +The dog agreed. He closed his eyes and started to count. "One, two, three..." The cat ran to the table and jumped on it. He licked the bowl of milk as fast as he could. He was very happy. + +The dog finished counting. "Ten! Ready or not, here I come!"

You lied to me!" + +The cat was scared. He jumped off the table and ran away. He hid under the bed. He felt sorry. He knew he did a bad thing. He said to himself, "I should not have been greedy. I should not have tricked my friend. I should have shared the milk with him. Now he is mad at me. I hope he will forgive me." + +The dog was sad. He missed his friend. He said to himself, "I wish the cat would come out. I want to play with him. I don't care about the milk. I care about him. He is my friend. I hope he will say sorry to me." + +The cat heard the dog. He came out from under the bed. He walked to the dog. He looked at him with his big eyes. He said, "I am sorry, dog. I was wrong. I was selfish. I will not do it again. Can we still be friends?" + +The dog wagged his tail. He licked the cat's face. He said, "I am sorry, too, cat. I was loud. I was mean. I will not do it again. Of course we can still be friends.

The rabbit was holding Bob's carrot nose in its mouth. And it was wearing Bob's hat and scarf. And it had Bob's eyes in its paws. Sara was very surprised. The rabbit looked funny and cute. But it also looked cold and pale. Sara felt sorry for the rabbit. + +Sara said to the rabbit, "Hello, rabbit. Do you like Bob's things? You can have them. But can I have one thing back?

Life is easy when I sleep." +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play together. One day, Sara wanted to visit Tom at his house. She asked her mom if she could go. + +"Sure, you can visit Tom, but you have to be back by lunchtime," her mom said. "And don't forget to say thank you and be polite." + +Sara nodded and ran to Tom's house. She knocked on the door and Tom opened it. He was happy to see her. + +"Hi, Sara, come in! Do you want to play with my toys?" he asked. + +"Yes, please, I love your toys!" Sara said. They went to Tom's room and had fun with his cars, trains, and blocks. + +After a while, Tom's mom came in with a tray of fruit. She smiled and said, "I thought you might be hungry, so I brought you some fruit. Do you like apples, bananas, or grapes?" + +Sara and Tom looked at the fruit and licked their lips. They both liked fruit very much. + +"Thank you, Tom's mom, you are very nice," Sara said. She reached for an apple, but Tom stopped her. + +"No, Sara, you can't have an apple. That's my favorite fruit. You can have a banana or a grape," he said. + +Sara was surprised and hurt. She thought Tom was her friend, but he was being selfish and rude. She felt frustrated and sad. + +"But, Tom, I like apples too. Can't we share?" she asked. + +"No, we can't. These are my fruits, and I can have whatever I want. You can have something else," he said. + +Sara didn't want to argue with Tom, but she didn't think he was being fair. She decided she didn't want to play with him anymore. She put down the fruit and said, "Tom, you are not a good friend. You are not nice and you don't share. I don't want to play with you anymore. I'm going home." + +She got up and left Tom's room. She said goodbye to Tom's mom and thanked her for the fruit. She ran back to her house and told her mom what happened. + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Sara, that Tom was mean to you. You did the right thing by leaving. You are a good friend, and you deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. Maybe Tom will learn his lesson and apologize to you. But if he doesn't, you can always find other friends who will share and be nice." + +Sara smiled and said, "Thank you, mom, you are the best. Can I have an apple, please?" + +Her mom laughed and said, "Of course, you can, my sweetie. You can have any fruit you want. You are a good girl, and I'm proud of you." + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring, and being selfish and rude will make you lose your friends. +Sam and Lily are twins.

They laughed. + +They learned another lesson. + +"Not everything that is good for you is sweet," their mom and dad said. + +They ate the lemon anyway. They were brave and grateful. They had a good day. +Lily and Ben are in school. They like to talk to each other. They sit next to the blackboard. The blackboard is big and green.

She sees what Lily and Ben have written on the blackboard. She is angry. She shouts at Lily and Ben. She says "How dare you write on the blackboard? The blackboard is not for you. The blackboard is for me. You are very naughty. You have to stay after school. You have to clean the blackboard. You have to say sorry." + +Lily and Ben are scared. They cry. They say "We are sorry.

She looks behind the trees, under the bench, in the slide. She cannot find the zip bag. + +"Tim, where is the zip bag?" Lily asks. "You are good at hiding. But I am good at finding. Give me a hint." + +Tim smiles. He likes to make Lily happy. He is a reliable friend. He says, "The zip bag is under something hard and heavy. You have to be strong to move it." + +Lily thinks. She sees the big rock. She goes to the rock. She pushes it with all her might. She sees the zip bag. She opens it. She finds the red ball. She is happy. + +"Tim, I found it! I found the red ball!

Why are you fighting over your toys?" + +Lily and Ben stopped and looked at their mom. They felt ashamed and sorry. + +"We were playing with our toys, mom." Lily said, lowering her head. "We wanted to go to the icy land, but we couldn't agree on whose toy was cooler." + +Mom smiled and hugged them. "I see. Well, I think both of your toys are very cool and creative. But you know what's cooler? Sharing and playing nicely with each other. That's what makes a good adventure." + +Lily and Ben nodded and hugged their mom back. They apologized to each other and agreed to share and play nicely. They unwrapped their toys and gave them to each other. They thanked their mom and ran back to the living room. + +"Let's go to the icy land together!" Lily said, holding Ben's car. + +"Okay!" Ben said, holding Lily's jet. "And let's have fun and be friends!" + +They smiled and flew and rolled their toys. They had a wonderful adventure in the icy land. +Mia and Ben were having lunch with their mom. They had salad, bread and cheese on their plates. Mia liked salad, but Ben did not. He pushed his salad away and asked for more cheese. + +"Ben, you have to eat some salad. It is good for you and it has many colors," mom said. + +"But I don't like salad. It is yucky and it makes me chew too much," Ben said. + +"Salad is not yucky, it is yummy. And chewing is good for your teeth and your tummy. Why don't you try a little bit and see if you like it?" mom said. + +"No, thank you. I want more cheese, please," Ben said. + +Mom sighed and gave Ben a small piece of cheese. She hoped he would eat some salad later. She looked at Mia and smiled. Mia had finished her salad and was nibbling on her bread. + +"Mia, you are a good eater. You ate all your salad and you still have some bread left. Do you want to replace your bread with some cheese?" mom asked. + +"Yes, please. I like cheese too. It is soft and tasty. And it is useful. It makes me strong and happy," Mia said. + +Mom gave Mia a slice of cheese and praised her. She was proud of her daughter. She hoped Ben would learn to like salad too. She knew it was useful too. It made them healthy and smart. She decided to make a funny face with salad on Ben's plate and see if he would laugh and try it. She thought it was worth a try. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big bottle of water and a spray. They like to spray the water on the flowers and the grass. They also like to spray each other and laugh. + +"Spray, spray, spray!" Anna says as she sprays Ben's hair. + +"Hey, stop it!" Ben says as he sprays Anna's face. + +They run around the garden, spraying and giggling. They do not see that Mom is hanging clothes on the line. Mom has a basket of clean clothes that smell nice. She wants to dry them in the sun. + +Anna and Ben run past the clothes line. They spray the clothes with water. They do not know that they are making the clothes wet and dirty. + +"Anna! Ben! What are you doing?" Mom says. She is not happy. She sees the clothes dripping with water and mud. + +"Sorry, Mom. We were playing with the spray. We did not see the clothes." Anna says. + +"We were having fun. The spray is amazing." Ben says. + +Mom sighs. She loves Anna and Ben, but she does not like the mess. She takes the clothes off the line. She puts them in the basket. She says, "You need to be more careful. The clothes are not for playing. They are for wearing. Now I have to wash them again." + +Anna and Ben feel bad. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We will help you wash the clothes." + +Mom smiles. She says, "Thank you. That is very kind of you. Come on, let's go inside and get some soap and water." + +Anna and Ben follow Mom. They hope to make her happy again. They still like the spray, but they will not spray the clothes anymore. +Tim and Liz are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big orange house. It looks old and dirty. They want to see what is inside. + +"Look, there is a key on the door!" Tim says. He takes the key and opens the door. "Let's go in!" + +"No, Tim, it is dark and scary!" Liz says. She is afraid. "Maybe there is a monster inside!" + +"Don't be silly, Liz, there is no monster. Come on, it will be fun!" Tim says. He pulls Liz by the hand and they go inside. + +The house is very dark and cold. They hear strange noises. They see spiders and rats. They smell something bad. They want to go out, but they cannot find the door. + +"Tim, I don't like this, I want to go home!" Liz cries. + +"Me too, Liz, me too!" Tim says. He tries to use the key, but it does not work. The key is broken. + +They hear a loud roar. They turn around and see a big orange monster. It has sharp teeth and claws. It is angry and hungry. It runs towards them. + +"Help, help!" Tim and Liz scream. But no one hears them. The monster catches them and eats them. The end. +Tom and Lily were playing with their crayons and paper. They liked to print pictures of animals and flowers. Tom printed a big lion with a yellow mane. Lily printed a pink butterfly with blue dots. + +"Look at my lion!" Tom said. "He is strong and brave. He can roar very loud." + +"Look at my butterfly!" Lily said. "She is pretty and charming. She can fly very high." + +They showed each other their prints and smiled. They were proud of their work. + +Suddenly, they felt the floor shake. They heard a loud noise. The crayons and paper fell off the table. The windows rattled. The books on the shelf tumbled down. + +"What is that?" Tom asked. He was scared. + +"It is an earthquake!" Lily said. She was scared too. + +They ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. It is over now. It was just a little earthquake. Nothing is broken. You are safe with me." + +They felt better. They thanked their mom and gave her a kiss. Then they went back to their prints. They decided to print a rainbow and a sun. They wanted to make something happy and bright. +Sara and Tom went to the museum with Mom and Dad. They saw many things. They saw big bones of animals that lived long ago. They saw shiny rocks and coins. They saw paintings and statues. Sara and Tom liked the museum. + +But then Mom said, "It is time to go. The museum will close soon. We have to leave." + +Sara and Tom did not want to leave. They wanted to see more things. They said, "No, Mom. We want to stay. Please, can we stay?" + +Mom said, "I'm sorry, Sara and Tom. We can't stay. We have to leave. Maybe we can come back another day. But now we have to go." + +Sara and Tom felt sad. They did not like to leave the museum. They liked the museum. They said, "Bye, museum. We will miss you." + +They followed Mom and Dad to the car. They got in the car. They looked at the museum one last time. They waved to the museum. They hoped to come back soon. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make towers and bridges and houses. Sometimes they change the blocks to make new things. + +One day, they want to make a train. They put many blocks in a line. They add wheels and a horn. They are happy with their train. + +"Choo choo!" Ben says. He pretends to be the driver. He moves the train along the floor. + +"Can I be the driver too?" Lily asks. She likes trains. + +"OK, we can change," Ben says. He is a good friend. He gives Lily the horn. + +Lily smiles. She takes the horn and says, "Choo choo!" She moves the train along the floor. + +They take turns to be the driver. They have fun with their train. They are successful. They are proud of their train. They are happy. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with boats. They had a big boat made of wood and a small boat made of paper. They went to the pond near their house to sail their boats. + +"Let me sail the big boat, Tom," Sam said. "You always sail the big boat." + +"No, Sam, the big boat is mine," Tom said. "You can sail the paper boat. It is faster and lighter." + +Sam was not happy. He wanted to sail the big boat too. He looked at the pond and saw a big duck swimming. He had an idea. + +"Look, Tom, a duck!" Sam said. "Maybe it wants to play with the paper boat. Let me throw it to the duck." + +Sam threw the paper boat to the duck. The duck saw the paper boat and thought it was food. It opened its mouth and bit the paper boat. The paper boat was gone. + +"Sam, you are so silly!" Tom said. "You lost the paper boat. Now you have no boat to sail." + +Sam felt sad and angry. He wanted to make Tom feel sad too. He saw a stick on the ground. He picked it up and ran to Tom. + +"Let me sail the big boat, Tom, or I will hit you with the stick!" Sam said. + +Tom was scared. He did not want to get hit by the stick. He let go of the big boat and ran away. Sam grabbed the big boat and put it in the pond. He smiled and said, "Now the big boat is mine." + +But Sam did not know how to sail the big boat. He pushed it too hard and it went too far. He could not reach it with his hands. He saw the big boat floating away from him. He saw a big wave coming from the other side of the pond. He saw the big wave hit the big boat. The big boat was broken. + +Sam cried. He lost the big boat too. He had no boat to sail. He had no brother to play with. He was alone and sad. He wished he had not been so mean to Tom. He wished he had shared the boats with Tom. He learned that sailing was fun, but being selfish was dangerous. +Lily liked to play with Mommy's ashtray. It was shiny and round and had pretty colors on it. She liked to pretend it was a hat or a bowl or a spaceship. But Mommy always said, "No, Lily, don't touch the ashtray. It is dirty and bad for you. Put it back on the table where it belongs." + +One day, Lily saw the ashtray on the table when Mommy was not looking. She wanted to play with it again. She took it and ran to her room. She put it on her head and spun around. She felt happy and silly. She did not hear Mommy calling her name. + +Mommy came to Lily's room and saw the ashtray on the floor. She was angry and scared. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You know you are not supposed to play with the ashtray. It is dangerous and could hurt you. Give it to me right now." + +Lily felt guilty and sad. She knew she did something wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I just wanted to have fun. I forgot to return the ashtray. Please don't be mad at me." + +Mommy hugged Lily and said, "I'm not mad at you, Lily. I love you. But you have to listen to me and follow the rules. The ashtray is not a toy. It is for grown-ups who smoke. Smoking is bad for your health and makes you cough. I don't want you to get sick or hurt. Promise me you will never touch the ashtray again." + +Lily nodded and said, "I promise, Mommy. I don't want to smoke or cough. I want to be healthy and happy. Can we play with something else?" + +Mommy smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. Let's go to the living room and play with your dolls. They are much more fun than the ashtray." + +Lily and Mommy left the room and returned the ashtray to the table. They played with the dolls and had a good time. Lily learned her lesson and never touched the ashtray again. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. They like to slide, swing, and run. They also like to wave at the birds and the dogs. + +One day, mom says, "It is time to go home and eat. We have broccoli for dinner. Broccoli is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy." + +Lily and Ben do not like broccoli. They think it is green and yucky. They make a face and say, "No, mom, we do not want broccoli. We want pizza. Pizza is yummy and cheesy." + +Mom shakes her head and says, "No, pizza is not good for you. It has too much fat and salt. You need to eat broccoli. It has vitamins and fiber. You can have pizza another day." + +Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They do not want to leave the park. They do not want to eat broccoli. They cross their arms and pout. + +Mom smiles and says, "I have an idea. How about we make broccoli fun? We can pretend it is a forest and we are giants. We can pick the broccoli trees and eat them with a loud crunch. We can also make funny noises and faces. Would you like that?" + +Lily and Ben think for a moment. They like to pretend and make noises and faces. They nod and say, "Okay, mom, we will try broccoli. But can we have some ketchup too?" + +Mom laughs and says, "Sure, you can have some ketchup. But not too much. Come on, let's go home and eat our broccoli forest. And don't forget to wave goodbye to the park." + +Lily and Ben wave goodbye to the park. They hold mom's hand and walk home. They have long hair that blows in the wind. They are happy and curious. They wonder how broccoli will taste. They hope it will not be too bad. They hope they will like it. They hope they will be strong and healthy. +Ben and Mia are playing in the park. They like to go on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But today, they see something new. It is a big metal box with a button and a hole. They are curious. + +"What is that?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a toy," Mia says. + +They go closer to the metal box. They see a sign that says: "Request a surprise. Press the button and wait." + +"Should we try it?" Ben asks. + +Mia is anxious. She does not like surprises. She thinks they might be scary. + +"I don't want to. You do it," she says. + +Ben is brave. He wants to see what the metal box can do. He presses the button and waits. He hears a beep and a whirr. Then, something comes out of the hole. It is a balloon. It is red and shiny. + +"Wow! Look!" Ben says. He grabs the balloon and smiles. + +Mia is relieved. She sees that the surprise is not scary. It is fun. + +"Can I have one too?" she asks. + +Ben nods. He presses the button again and waits. Another balloon comes out of the hole. It is blue and sparkly. + +"Here you go," Ben says. He gives the balloon to Mia. + +Mia takes the balloon and thanks Ben. They are happy. They have two balloons. They play with them in the park. They forget about the metal box. They have a good time. +Sara loved her pet cat, Luna. Luna was black and soft and liked to sleep on Sara's bed. Sara liked to play with Luna and give her treats and hugs. But Luna did not like loud noises. They made her tremble and hide under the sofa. + +One day, Sara's mom said they were going to visit Sara's grandma. Sara was happy because she liked her grandma and her cookies. But she was also sad because she had to leave Luna at home. She asked her mom if Luna could come with them. + +"No, sweetie, Luna has to stay here. Grandma is allergic to cats. She sneezes and gets red eyes when she is near them. Don't worry, Luna will be fine. We will ask Mr. Lee, our neighbor, to feed her and check on her every day. He likes cats too." + +Sara nodded, but she felt sorry for Luna. She gave her a big hug and a kiss and told her to be brave and not to tremble. She put some of Luna's favorite toys and a blanket in her basket. She hoped Luna would not be lonely or scared. + +When they got to grandma's house, Sara had fun playing with her grandma and eating cookies. But she also missed Luna and wondered how she was doing. She called Mr. Lee every night and asked him about Luna. He said Luna was fine, but a little shy. He said he tried to pet her and play with her, but she always ran away and hid under the sofa. He said he left some treats and water for her near the basket. + +Sara wished she could see Luna and make her feel better. She wished Luna could hear her voice and know she loved her. She had an idea. She asked her mom if she could record a message for Luna on her phone. Her mom said yes and helped her record a message. Sara said, "Hi, Luna, it's me, Sara. I miss you so much. You are my best friend. I hope you are not trembling or sad. I will be back soon. I love you, Luna. Bye-bye." + +She sent the message to Mr. Lee and asked him to play it for Luna. He said he would. The next night, he called Sara and told her something amazing. He said he played the message for Luna and Luna came out of the sofa. She listened to Sara's voice and purred. She rubbed her head against the phone and licked the screen. She followed Mr. Lee to the basket and ate some treats. She looked happy and calm. + +Sara was so happy to hear that. She thanked Mr. Lee and told him he was very kind. She told Luna she was proud of her and she would see her soon. She smiled and hugged her mom and grandma. She knew Luna was not trembling anymore. She knew Luna was waiting for her. She knew Luna loved her too. +Anna loved to talk to her grandma on the phone. Grandma lived in a distant place, far away from Anna's house. She could not visit often, but she always called to say hello and ask about Anna's day. + +One day, Anna was playing with her dolls when the phone rang. She ran to answer it, hoping it was grandma. But it was not grandma. It was a man with a loud voice who said he wanted to sell something. Anna did not like the man. She said, "No, thank you. I want to talk to grandma." + +The man did not listen. He kept talking and talking, saying many words that Anna did not understand. He said he had a special offer, a great deal, a limited time. Anna got bored and angry. She said, "Stop talking. I want to talk to grandma." + +The man did not stop. He said he needed Anna's address, her credit card, her password. Anna did not know what those words meant. She said, "Go away. I want to talk to grandma." + +The man did not go away. He said he would not quit until Anna bought his product. He said he had the best product in the world, and Anna would be sorry if she missed it. Anna had enough. She said, "Bye-bye. I want to talk to grandma." And she hung up the phone. + +Anna felt sad and frustrated. She wanted to talk to grandma, but the man had wasted her time. She wondered if grandma would call again. She hoped she would. She missed her voice and her stories. She decided to draw a picture for grandma and mail it to her. She hoped grandma would like it and call her soon. She loved her grandma very much. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with a swing. Ben wanted to go on the swing, but Lily said no. + +"It is my turn, Ben. You had the swing yesterday. Go and play with something else," Lily said. + +Ben was angry. He did not want to share the swing. He had a plan. He took a rope from his bag and tied it to the swing. He made a knot that was hard to undo. + +"Look, Lily, I made the swing better. Now you can swing higher and faster. Do you want to try?" Ben said. + +Lily was happy. She did not see the rope. She thought Ben was being nice. She ran to the swing and sat on it. Ben pushed her hard. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Lily said. She swung back and forth. She felt the wind in her hair. + +But then she wanted to stop. She tried to get off the swing, but she could not. The rope was tied around her waist. She was stuck. + +"Ben, help me! I want to get off!" Lily cried. + +Ben laughed. He did not help her. He ran away. He left Lily on the swing. + +Lily was scared. She did not know what to do. She wished she had more wisdom. She wished she was not so small. She wished Ben was not so mean. She hoped someone would come and save her. But no one came. She was alone on the swing. She cried and cried. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have a big mirror on the wall. They like to make faces and dress up in front of the mirror. + +One day, Sara finds a red hat in the closet. She puts it on and looks at herself in the mirror. She thinks she looks pretty. She says to Ben, "Look at me, Ben. I have a red hat. Do you like it?" + +Ben does not like the red hat. He thinks it is ugly. He wants to wear it too. He says to Sara, "Give me the hat, Sara. It is my turn. You have it for too long." + +Sara does not want to give the hat to Ben. She likes the hat. She says to Ben, "No, Ben. It is my hat. You cannot have it. Go away." + +Ben gets angry. He pushes Sara. Sara falls down. She hits her head on the mirror. The mirror breaks. Sara cries. She has a big cut on her head. She sees blood on the floor. + +Mom hears the noise. She runs to the room. She sees Sara and Ben and the broken mirror. She is very mad. She says to Sara and Ben, "What have you done? You are very bad. You hurt Sara and break the mirror. You have to leave the room. You cannot play here anymore." + +Sara and Ben are very sad. They say sorry to Mom. They say sorry to each other. But Mom does not listen. She takes them out of the room. She locks the door. She says they have to stay in the hall until Dad comes home. + +Sara and Ben sit in the hall. They are scared. They are cold. They are hungry. They wish they had not fought over the hat. They wish they had not broken the mirror. They wish they could go back to their room. But they cannot. They have to wait for Dad. They do not know what Dad will do. They think he will be very angry too. They think he will not love them anymore. They cry. They hug each other. They are very sorry. But it is too late. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a rat in the grass. The rat is big and brown. It has sharp teeth and a long tail. + +"Look, a rat!" Tom says. He is not afraid. He wants to catch the rat. + +"No, Tom, don't!" Lily says. She is scared. She thinks the rat is bad. "The rat can bite you. It can make you sick." + +Tom does not listen. He runs after the rat. He tries to grab it. But the rat is fast. It runs away. It hides under a bench. + +Tom follows the rat. He bends down. He puts his hand under the bench. He feels something furry. He thinks it is the rat. He pulls it out. + +But it is not the rat. It is a lemon. Someone left it on the ground. The lemon is yellow and round. It has a bitter smell. + +Tom is confused. He looks at the lemon. He thinks it is a toy. He wants to play with it. He puts it in his mouth. He bites it. + +"Yuck!" Tom says. He spits out the lemon. He makes a funny face. The lemon is bitter. It is sour. It hurts his tongue. + +Lily laughs. She sees Tom's face. She thinks it is funny. She runs to him. She gives him a hug. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" Lily says. She is sorry. She does not want Tom to be sad. + +Tom nods. He is okay. He is not sad. He is silly. He smiles. + +"I'm okay, Lily," Tom says. He hugs her back. "But I don't like lemons. They are bitter. They are not rats." + +Lily agrees. She does not like lemons either. She likes rats. But she does not need to catch them. She needs to be careful. She needs to be safe. She needs to be with Tom. They are friends. They like to play in the park. +Sara and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys in their room. They have dolls, cars, blocks, and books. They have fun with their toys every day. + +One day, Sara and Ben want to go to the store with Mom. Mom says they can go, but they have to clean their room first. Sara and Ben do not want to clean their room. They want to go to the store now. They say no to Mom. + +Mom is not happy. She says they have to clean their room or they cannot go to the store. Sara and Ben are sad. They want to go to the store and see the candy and the balloons. They decide to clean their room. + +Sara and Ben start to pick up their toys. Sara carries the dolls to the shelf. Ben carries the cars to the box. They work together to carry the blocks and the books. They put everything in its place. They make their room neat and tidy. + +Mom comes to see their room. She is happy. She says they did a good job. She says they can go to the store now. Sara and Ben are happy. They say thank you to Mom. They say sorry for saying no. They hug Mom and go to the store. They have a good time at the store. They are glad they cleaned their room. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a lot of fog in the air. The fog was white and soft, and it made everything look gloomy. + +"Let's go and explore the fog!" Ben said. He ran ahead of Anna, who followed him slowly. + +"Wait for me, Ben!" Anna said. "I can't see you very well in the fog!" + +Ben did not listen. He wanted to see what was in the fog. He ran and ran, until he came to a big road. He did not see the cars and trucks that were driving fast on the road. He did not hear the horns and sirens that were warning him to stop. + +"Ben, stop!" Anna shouted. She saw the danger and ran after him. She grabbed his hand and pulled him back to the sidewalk. They both fell down and scraped their knees. + +"Ow, that hurts!" Ben cried. He looked at the road and saw the cars and trucks zooming by. He was scared and sorry. + +"Ben, you were very silly and reckless!" Anna said. "You could have been hurt very badly, or worse! You should always look and listen before you cross the road, especially in the fog!" + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben said. "You are right. I was not careful. You are a good friend. You saved me. Thank you." + +Anna hugged Ben and helped him up. They walked back to their homes, holding hands. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful and to listen to their friends. They learned that the fog can be fun, but also dangerous. They learned to teach each other and to help each other. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play games outside. They have a ball, a bike and a kite. They are happy. + +But then the sky becomes dark and grey. It starts to rain. The rain is thick and wet. It makes the ground muddy and slippery. Lila and Ben are sad. + +"Let's go inside," says Lila. "We can play games there." + +"OK," says Ben. "But what games can we play?" + +They run to Lila's house. They take off their shoes and coats. They go to Lila's room. They see many toys and books. + +They can play with dolls, cars, puzzles and blocks. They can read stories, draw pictures and sing songs. They have many games to choose from. + +They forget about the rain. They have fun. They are happy again. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play pretend. They had a big cardboard box that they used as a truck. They put their toys and books inside the box and drove around the house. They liked to deliver things to their mom and dad and their dog Spot. + +One day, they heard their mom say that a hurricane was coming. She said they had to stay inside and be safe. She said the hurricane was a big storm with strong wind and rain. She said it could break things and make a lot of noise. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not like storms. They wanted to make their mom and dad happy. They thought of a plan. They decided to deliver something very important to them. They took their favorite blanket and stuffed animals and put them in the box. They drove to the living room where their mom and dad were watching the news. + +"Mom, Dad, we have a delivery for you!" they shouted. "It is something very important!" + +They opened the box and showed them their blanket and stuffed animals. They said they wanted to share them with their mom and dad. They said they wanted to cuddle with them and be brave. + +Mom and Dad smiled and hugged them. They said they were very proud of them. They said they were very kind and generous. They said they loved them very much. + +They all sat on the couch and wrapped themselves in the blanket. They held their stuffed animals and each other.

They are happy and kind. + +But then, Ben sees a big red fire truck on the shelf. He likes fire trucks a lot. He wants to play with it. He reaches for it and grabs it. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Sara says. "You can't take it, it's my fire truck!" + +"No, it's mine!" Ben says. "I like it, it's shiny and loud!" + +They start to pull the fire truck from each other. They are angry and loud. + +"Mine, mine, mine!" Ben says. + +"No, mine, mine, mine!" Sara says. + +They tug and tug until the fire truck breaks. The wheels and the ladder fall off. The siren stops working. The fire truck is broken. + +They both gasp and drop the fire truck. They are sad and sorry. + +"Oh no, what did we do?" Ben says. + +"We broke the fire truck, it's an emergency!" Sara says. + +They look at each other and feel bad. They don't want to fight. They want to be friends. + +"I'm sorry, Sara, I shouldn't have taken your fire truck," Ben says. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I shouldn't have yelled at you," Sara says. + +They hug and say sorry. They are friends again. + +They pick up the pieces of the fire truck and try to fix it. They work together and help each other. They are careful and gentle. + +They put the wheels and the ladder back on. They press the siren and it works. The fire truck is fixed. + +They smile and cheer. They are happy and proud. + +"Look, we fixed the fire truck, it's good as new!" Ben says. + +"Yes, we did, we are a good team!" Sara says. + +They decide to share the fire truck and play with it together. They make fire truck noises and pretend to put out fires. They are having fun and making noises. + +"Vroom, vroom, the fire truck is fast!" Ben says. + +"Woo, woo, the fire truck is loud!" Sara says. + +They share their toys and take turns. They are happy and kind. +Ben and Lily were eager to play with the new rubber ball that their dad gave them. It was big and red and bounced very high. They ran outside to the garden and threw the ball to each other. + +"Wow, this is so fun!" Lily said, catching the ball with both hands. + +"Let me try!" Ben said, grabbing the ball from her. He threw it as hard as he could, but he missed Lily and hit the window of the house. + +CRASH! The window broke and the ball flew inside. Ben and Lily gasped and ran to the door. + +"Oh no, we're in trouble!" Ben said, trying to open the door. But it was locked. Their dad had locked the door when he went to the shop. + +"What do we do?" Lily asked, scared. + +"Maybe we can find another way in," Ben said, looking around. He saw a small window next to the door. It was open a little bit. + +"Look, there!" he said, pointing. "Maybe we can fit through there." + +He climbed on a chair and pushed the window open more. He squeezed his head and shoulders through the window and reached for the door handle. + +"I got it!" he said, turning the handle. He heard a click and the door opened. + +"Yay, you did it!" Lily said, clapping. She ran inside with Ben and looked for the ball. + +They found it on the floor next to the broken window. They picked it up and ran back outside. + +"Let's hide the ball and say sorry to dad," Ben said, feeling guilty. + +"OK," Lily said, nodding. They hid the ball under a bush and waited for their dad to come back. + +They hoped he would not be too angry. They learned their lesson: never throw a rubber ball at a window. +Lily and Tom are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They have a big box that they pretend is a garage. They take turns to drive their cars in and out of the box. + +"Beep beep! I'm a fast car!" Tom says, zooming his red car around the grass. + +"Me too! I'm a blue car!" Lily says, following him with her car. + +They come to a big tree that has a sign on it. The sign has a picture of an arrow pointing left. + +"What does that mean?" Lily asks. + +"It means we have to go that way," Tom says. "The arrow shows us the way." + +He turns his car left and drives under the tree. + +Lily tries to do the same, but her car gets stuck on a root. + +"Oh no! My car is stuck!" she cries. + +"Don't worry, I'll help you!" Tom says. He drives his car back to her. + +He looks at her car and sees a button on the back. + +"What's this?" he asks. + +"It's the reverse button," Lily says. "It makes the car go backwards." + +"Can I press it?" Tom asks. + +"Okay, but be careful," Lily says. + +Tom presses the button and the car makes a loud noise. It starts to move backwards, but very fast. + +"Wow! It's so fast!" Tom says. + +"Too fast! Stop it!" Lily says. + +But Tom can't stop it. The car zooms out of the tree and crashes into the box. + +"Crash! Bang! Boom!" + +The box falls apart and the cars fly out. + +Lily and Tom are shocked. They look at their cars and see that they are broken. + +"Oh no! Our cars are broken!" they say. + +They start to cry. + +Mom hears them and comes to the garden. She sees the mess and the broken cars. + +"What happened here?" she asks. + +"We were playing with our cars and the arrow showed us the way and the reverse button made the car go fast and it crashed into the box and now our cars are broken!" Tom says. + +Mom hugs them and says, "I'm sorry, my loves. That sounds like a big accident. But don't worry, we can fix your cars. And I'm glad you are both healthy and not hurt." + +She takes them inside and gives them some juice and cookies. She says, "Next time, be more careful with the reverse button. And remember, the arrow is just a picture. You can go any way you want." + +Lily and Tom nod and say, "Okay, Mom. Thank you." + +They feel better and smile. They decide to play with their blocks instead. They hope their cars will be fixed soon. They still love their cars. +Tom and Lily are twins. They share a room and a bed. Every morning, their mom sets an alarm to wake them up for school. But Tom and Lily do not like the alarm. It is loud and scary. They want to sleep more. + +One day, Tom has an idea. He says to Lily, "Let's hide the alarm under the pillow. Then we will not hear it. We can sleep more." + +Lily thinks this is a good idea. She says, "Okay, let's do it." They hide the alarm under the pillow and go to sleep. + +The next morning, the alarm goes off. But Tom and Lily do not hear it. They sleep more. Their mom does not hear it either. She is busy in the kitchen. She thinks Tom and Lily are awake and getting ready for school. + +After a while, she goes to their room to check on them. She sees them sleeping under the pillow. She is surprised and angry. She says, "Tom, Lily, wake up! You are late for school! Why did you hide the alarm under the pillow?" + +Tom and Lily wake up. They are scared and sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We did not want to hear the alarm. We wanted to sleep more." + +Their mom says, "That was a bad idea. The alarm is to help you wake up on time. You need to go to school and learn. You cannot sleep all day. Now hurry up and get ready. You have to catch the bus." + +Tom and Lily get out of bed. They are sad and tired. They complain, "We do not want to go to school. We want to stay home and play." + +Their mom says, "No, you have to go to school. It is good for you. You will see your friends and your teacher. You will have fun and learn new things. You will be glad when you get there. Now stop complaining and get dressed." + +Tom and Lily get dressed. They are not happy. They hope their mom is right. They hope they will be glad when they get to school. +Sara was a little girl who loved to look at the stars. Every night, she would ask her mom to take her outside and tell her stories about the stars and the planets. Sara wanted to see a comet, a big star with a long tail that flies across the sky. Her mom said that comets are very rare and special, and that she might see one someday if she was lucky. + +One night, Sara heard on the radio that a comet was going to appear in the sky that night. She was very excited and begged her mom to let her stay up late and watch the comet. Her mom said that she could, but only if she took a nap in the afternoon. Sara did not want to nap. She wanted to play with her toys and watch TV. She thought that napping was boring and a waste of time. She said no to her mom and ran to her room. + +Sara played and watched TV until it was dark. She felt very tired, but she did not want to admit it. She wanted to see the comet more than anything. She put on her coat and hat and followed her mom outside. Her mom pointed to the sky and said, "Look, Sara, there is the comet! It is so beautiful and bright!" Sara looked up and saw a tiny dot with a faint tail. She felt very disappointed. She expected the comet to be bigger and more colorful. She could barely see it. She said, "Is that it? That is not a comet. That is a boring star. I want to go back inside." + +Her mom sighed and said, "Sara, you are too tired to enjoy the comet. You should have listened to me and taken a nap. Then you would have been more awake and happy. Napping is good for you. It helps you grow and learn and have fun. Sometimes you have to do things you don't like to do, because they are good for you in the long run. That is a lesson you need to learn, Sara." + +Sara felt very miserable. She realized that her mom was right. She had missed a chance to see something amazing because she was stubborn and selfish. She wished she had napped and been more respectful to her mom. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. You are right. I should have napped. Can we try again tomorrow?" Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, too, Sara. The comet will not be here tomorrow. It will be gone for a long time. But don't worry, there are many other wonderful things to see in the sky. And maybe someday, you will see another comet. But for now, let's go inside and get some sleep. I love you, Sara." Sara said, "I love you, too, mom. And I love the stars. And I will nap tomorrow, I promise." They went inside and cuddled in bed. Sara fell asleep and dreamed of comets. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a big teddy bear. She called him Mighty, because he was so big and soft. She hugged him every night and took him everywhere. + +One day, Lily and Mighty went to the park with her mom. They had fun on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. But when they came home, Lily saw that Mighty was very dirty. He had sand and mud and grass on his fur. Lily was sad. She did not want her best friend to be dirty. + +She asked her mom if she could wash Mighty. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful. She said that Mighty was a gift from her grandma, and he was very special. She said that Lily had to use cold water and gentle soap, and not put him in the dryer. She said that Lily had to let him dry on a towel in the sun. + +Lily nodded and took Mighty to the bathroom. She filled the sink with cold water and added some soap. She gently rubbed Mighty's fur and rinsed him with clean water. She squeezed out the extra water and wrapped him in a towel. She carried him to the backyard and laid him on a chair in the sun. + +She waited for him to dry, and then hugged him again. He was clean and fluffy and smelled good. Lily was happy. She thanked her mom for letting her wash Mighty. She said that he was the best gift ever. She said that she loved him and her mom and her grandma. Her mom smiled and hugged her and Mighty. She said that she loved them too. +Tom was a little dog who liked to play with his ball. He would run and jump and catch the ball in his mouth. He was very happy when his mom gave him the ball for his birthday. + +One day, Tom saw a big cat in the yard. The cat was black and had yellow eyes. It looked mean and scary. Tom wanted to chase the cat away, but he was afraid. He hid behind a bush and watched the cat. + +The cat saw Tom's ball and walked towards it. It sniffed the ball and then scratched it with its paw. Tom heard a loud pop and saw the ball deflate. The cat had made a hole in the ball with its claw. Tom felt very sad and angry. He loved his ball and now it was broken. + +Tom decided to be brave and stop the cat. He ran out of the bush and barked loudly. The cat was surprised and turned to face Tom. It hissed and showed its teeth. Tom felt a little worry, but he did not back down. He growled and ran towards the cat. + +The cat was not expecting Tom to attack. It was used to being bigger and stronger than other animals. It did not like to fight. It dropped the ball and ran away. Tom chased the cat until it jumped over the fence and disappeared. + +Tom was very proud of himself. He had saved his ball and scared the cat. He picked up the ball with his mouth and brought it to his mom. His mom was happy to see him and hugged him. She said he was a good and brave dog. She also said she had a surprise for him. She took him inside and gave him a new ball. It was bigger and brighter than the old one. Tom was very happy and thanked his mom. He played with his new ball and forgot about the cat. He was a happy little dog. +Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play with trucks in the park. They have two trucks: a red one and a blue one. Tom likes the red one and Ben likes the blue one. + +One day, they go to the park with their trucks. They see a big hill. They want to make their trucks go down the hill. They take turns to push their trucks from the top of the hill. + +Tom pushes his red truck first. It goes very fast and makes a loud noise. Tom is happy. He says, "Look at my truck! It is the best!" + +Ben pushes his blue truck next. It goes fast too, but not as fast as the red one. It makes a soft noise. Ben is sad. He says, "My truck is not good. It is slow and quiet." + +Tom laughs. He says, "My truck is better than your truck. I want to push it again." + +Ben says, "No, that is not fair. We have to share. It is your turn to give me your truck." + +Tom says, "No, I do not want to. It is my truck. You have your own truck." + +Ben says, "But you pushed your truck twice. I only pushed mine once. That is not fair. You have to let me try your truck." + +Tom says, "No, I do not have to. It is mine. Go away." + +Ben is angry. He tries to grab the red truck from Tom. Tom pulls it back. They fight over the truck. They yell and cry. + +A lady sees them. She is their teacher. She comes to them. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting?" + +Tom and Ben stop fighting. They look at the lady. They are scared. They say, "We are sorry, teacher." + +The lady says, "Why were you fighting over the truck?" + +Tom says, "Because it is my truck and I do not want to share." + +Ben says, "Because he pushed it twice and I only pushed it once and that is not fair." + +The lady says, "That is not a good reason to fight. You are friends. You have to be kind and share. You have two trucks. You can take turns to play with both of them. That is fair." + +Tom and Ben think. They feel bad. They say, "You are right, teacher. We are sorry. We will share and take turns." + +The lady says, "That is good. Now, say sorry to each other and hug." + +Tom and Ben say sorry to each other and hug. They are friends again. They say, "Thank you, teacher." + +The lady says, "You are welcome. Now, go and play nicely with your trucks. But be careful. Do not push them too hard. The hill is steep. You do not want your trucks to break or get lost." + +Tom and Ben say, "Okay, teacher. We will be careful." + +They go back to the hill. They share and take turns to push their trucks. They have fun. They are happy. + +The end. +Tim and Mia are playing in the garden. They have a big bucket of water and some cups. They like to pour water on the flowers and on each other. + +"Look, Mia, I can pour water very high!" Tim says. He lifts his cup and pours water in the air. Some of it falls on his head and makes him wet. + +"Ha ha, Tim, you are silly!" Mia says. She pours water on Tim's shirt and laughs. + +Tim and Mia hear a loud noise. They turn around and see a big dog. The dog is barking and running towards them. The dog looks fierce and angry. + +"Help, Mia, the dog is coming!" Tim says. He is scared and drops his cup. + +"Quick, Tim, run to the house!" Mia says. She grabs Tim's hand and they run. The dog chases them and tries to bite them. + +Tim and Mia reach the door and slam it shut. The dog stops and barks outside. Tim and Mia are safe inside. They hug each other and breathe hard. + +"That was a bad dog, Mia!" Tim says. + +"Yes, Tim, that was a very bad dog!" Mia says. "But we are brave. We made a march to the house." + +"Yes, Mia, we are brave. We made a fierce march to the house!" Tim says. + +They smile and go to find their mom. They tell her about the dog and the water. Mom hugs them and gives them a cookie. They are happy and forget about the dog. They eat their cookie and play with their toys. +Ben and Lily are playing soccer in the park. They are on the same team and they want to win. They kick the ball and run fast. They score many goals and they are happy. + +But Tom and Anna are on the other team and they are not happy. They do not score any goals and they are angry. They start to cheat and push Ben and Lily. They say mean words and make them cry. + +"Stop it! You are not nice!" Ben says to Tom and Anna. "You are breaking the rules and hurting us!" + +"We don't care! We want to score too!" Tom says and kicks the ball hard. But he misses the goal and hits a man who is walking his dog. The man and the dog are not happy either. They shout at Tom and Anna. + +The man tells their mom what they did. Their mom is very angry and sad. She punishes Tom and Anna. She makes them say sorry to Ben and Lily and the man and the dog. She also makes them go home and do chores. They cannot play soccer for a week. + +Ben and Lily are kind. They forgive Tom and Anna and hope they will be nice next time. They share their snacks and juice with them. They also invite them to play soccer again when they are not punished. They want to be friends and have fun. +Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big beetle crawling on a leaf. It was shiny and black. + +"Wow, look at that beetle!" Tom said. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"Can we catch it?" Lila asked. "I want to see it closer." + +Tom nodded. He got a jar and a lid. He tried to catch the beetle, but it was fast and smart. It ran away from the jar. + +"Come on, beetle, don't be scared!" Tom said. "We just want to be your friends!" + +Lila had an idea. She saw some strawberries growing nearby. She picked one and broke it in half. She put one half near the leaf where the beetle was. + +"Maybe the beetle likes strawberries," she said. "They are yummy and red." + +The beetle smelled the strawberry. It was hungry and curious. It crawled towards the strawberry. Lila and Tom watched quietly. + +The beetle reached the strawberry and started to eat it. It made a crunching sound. Lila and Tom smiled. + +"Now we can catch it!" Tom whispered. He moved the jar slowly over the beetle and the strawberry. He managed to catch them both. He put the lid on the jar. + +"Yay, we did it!" Lila cheered. "We caught the beetle!" + +They looked at the jar. The beetle was still eating the strawberry. It seemed happy. + +"Can we keep it?" Lila asked. "It is so cute and funny!" + +Tom thought for a moment. He liked the beetle, but he also knew that it was a wild animal. + +"I don't think so," he said. "The beetle belongs to the garden. It needs fresh air and plants and other beetles. We can watch it for a while, but then we have to let it go." + +Lila nodded. She understood. She loved the beetle, but she also wanted it to be free and happy. + +"Okay," she said. "But can we give it a name?" + +Tom smiled. He thought of a good name for the beetle. + +"How about Berry?" he said. "Because it likes strawberries." + +Lila liked the name. She hugged the jar gently. + +"Hello, Berry," she said. "You are our friend." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play and joke with each other. One day, they find a mop in the kitchen. It is big and heavy. They think it is funny to swing it around. + +"Look, I am a giant!" Ben says. He holds the mop over his head and pretends to roar. + +"I am a fairy!" Anna says. She takes the mop from Ben and waves it like a wand. She pretends to cast spells. + +They laugh and run around the kitchen. They do not see Mom coming in with a basket of clothes. + +Mom sees the twins and the mop. She is not happy. She puts the basket down and takes the mop from Anna. + +"What are you doing with my mop?" Mom asks. "This is not a toy. This is for cleaning the floor." + +"Sorry, Mom," Anna and Ben say. They look sad. + +Mom sighs. She loves her twins, but they make a lot of mess. She has an idea. + +"How about you help me with the laundry?" Mom says. "You can joke and play with the clothes. They are soft and light. And you can learn how to fold them." + +Anna and Ben think this sounds fun. They follow Mom to the living room. They pick up the clothes and toss them in the air. They make funny hats and scarves with them. They joke and giggle. + +Mom smiles. She is glad they are having fun. She hopes they will also learn something. She does not see the mop leaning against the wall. It is about to fall. +Here is one possible story, but there are many other ways to write it. + +Lily and Tom were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. Lily had a big red block that she liked very much. She said, "This is my block. It is mine. I keep it." + +Tom wanted to play with the red block too. He said, "Can I have the red block, please? I want to make a fire truck." + +Lily said, "No, you can't. It is mine. I keep it. Go away." + +Tom was sad and angry. He said, "That is not fair. You have to share. Give me the red block, now!" + +Lily said, "No, no, no! It is mine. I keep it. You can't have it." + +Tom tried to grab the red block from Lily. Lily held it tight and screamed. They pulled and pushed and fought. The red block flew out of their hands and hit the window. The window broke with a loud crash. Glass fell on the floor and cut their feet. They cried and cried. + +Mom and Dad came running. They saw the broken window and the blood and the blocks. They were very angry and scared. They said, "What have you done? This is very bad. You are in big trouble. You have to go to your rooms and no more blocks for you." + +Lily and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They wished they had shared the red block. It was not easy to keep it. It was not worth it. They lost their block and their fun and their parents' trust. They learned a hard lesson. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with each other and their toys. They are very happy because they are on vacation with their mom and dad. They are staying in a big house near the beach. + +One day, they go to the beach with their mom and dad. They see many friendly people and animals. They see a big dog, a small cat, a yellow bird, and a green turtle. They want to pet them and say hello. + +"Can we pass the ball to the dog, mom?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, honey, but be gentle and ask the owner first," mom says. + +"Can we pass the shell to the cat, dad?" Ben asks. + +"Of course, son, but be careful and don't scare it," dad says. + +Anna and Ben pass the ball and the shell to the dog and the cat. The dog and the cat are happy and play with them. The yellow bird and the green turtle watch them and smile. + +Anna and Ben have a lot of fun on the beach. They make new friends and learn new things. They are very glad they are on vacation. They hug their mom and dad and say thank you. They can't wait to see what else they can do on their vacation. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They had a ball, a truck, a doll and a teddy bear. They liked to share and take turns with their toys. + +But then a mean boy came and took their ball and ran away. Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Ben shouted. "Give it back!" + +The mean boy laughed and said, "No, it's mine now. You can't catch me!" + +Lily and Ben ran after him, but he was too fast. They saw him throw the ball over a fence into a big house. They could not get it. + +They knocked on the door of the house, but no one answered. They felt like crying. + +Then a nice lady came out of the house. She saw Lily and Ben and asked, "What's wrong, children?" + +The mean boy took our ball and threw it in your house," Lily said. "Can you please get it for us?" + +The nice lady smiled and said, "Of course, I can. That was very rude of him. Wait here, I'll be right back." + +She went inside and came back with the ball. She gave it to Lily and Ben and said, "Here you go. I'm sorry for the trouble. You can have this as a reward for being so polite and brave." + +She handed them a big bag of candy. Lily and Ben were very happy. They thanked the nice lady and hugged her. + +They went back to the park and played with their toys and candy. They forgot about the mean boy. They had their ball and a new friend. They felt very good. +Tom and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shiny things. One day, they found a big hole in the sand. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's fill this bucket with sand and dump it in the hole," Tom said. + +"OK, maybe we will find a gem," Mia said. + +They filled the bucket with sand and dumped it in the hole. They did it again and again. But they did not find any gems. They only found rocks and sticks and trash. + +"Maybe there are no gems here," Mia said. + +"Maybe we need to dig deeper," Tom said. + +They dug deeper and deeper. They made the hole bigger and bigger. They were very dirty and tired. But they did not give up. + +Then, they saw something shiny at the bottom of the hole. They reached for it. It was a gem. It was red and shiny and smooth. It looked like a heart. + +"Wow, we found a gem!" Tom said. + +"It's so pretty, can I have it?" Mia said. + +They both wanted the gem. They both pulled on it. But it did not move. It was stuck in the hole. + +They pulled harder and harder. They heard a weird noise. It sounded like a beep. + +"Beep, beep, beep," the gem said. + +They were scared. They let go of the gem. They ran out of the hole. + +They looked back. They saw a man in a yellow suit. He had a big helmet and a big tool. He was digging in the hole. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing here?" the man said. + +"We were playing, we found a gem," Tom said. + +"That's not a gem, that's a bomb," the man said. + +"A bomb?" Mia said. + +"Yes, a bomb. It's very dangerous. You should not touch it. You should stay away from it. I'm here to take it away," the man said. + +He took the bomb out of the hole. He put it in a big box. He walked away. + +Tom and Mia were sad. They lost their gem. They did not understand what a bomb was. They did not understand why it was in the park. + +They went home. They told their mom what happened. She hugged them and gave them cookies. She said they were brave and lucky. She said they should not play in the hole again. She said they should play with their toys instead. + +They ate their cookies. They played with their toys. They forgot about the bomb. They did not forget about the gem. They still thought it was pretty. They still wished they had it. +Lila liked to play with her robot. She named him Robby. Robby could talk and do many things. He could sing, dance, and tell jokes. Lila and Robby were good friends. + +One day, Lila wanted to go to the park with Robby. She asked her mom if she could take him. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful. Robby was independent. He liked to explore and learn new things. Sometimes he got into trouble. + +Lila and Robby went to the park. They saw many people, animals, and plants. Robby was curious. He wanted to talk to everyone and everything. He said hello to a dog, a bird, and a flower. He asked them questions and listened to their answers. + +Lila followed Robby and laughed at his funny words. She was happy to see him have fun. But then, Robby saw a big slide. He wanted to try it. He ran to the slide and climbed up. Lila was scared. She knew the slide was too high and fast for Robby. She shouted, "Robby, stop! That's not for you!" + +Robby heard Lila, but he did not listen. He was independent. He wanted to do what he wanted. He said, "Don't worry, Lila. I can do it. Watch me!" He slid down the slide and smiled. He thought he was brave and clever. + +But he was not. He slid too fast and flew off the slide. He landed on the ground and broke into pieces. He could not talk or move anymore. He was broken. Lila ran to him and cried. She was sad and angry. She said, "Robby, why did you do that? Why didn't you listen to me? I told you to stop! Now you are broken and I can't play with you anymore!" + +Lila hugged Robby and wished he could talk to her again. She wished he was not so independent. She wished he was more careful. She learned that being independent is good, but sometimes it is better to listen to your friends. +Tom and Mia love to play soccer with their friends. They have a big ball and two nets in the park. They wear red and blue shirts to know who is on which team. Tom is on the red team and Mia is on the blue team. + +One day, they play a game of soccer with their friends. Tom has the ball and runs fast to the blue net. He sees Mia in front of him. She tries to stop him and take the ball. Tom is smart and passes the ball to his friend Sam. Sam is near the blue net and has no one in front of him. + +Sam kicks the ball hard and it goes into the net. He makes a goal! The red team is very happy and cheers. Sam runs to Tom and gives him a high five. Tom is excited and says, "Good pass, good goal!" Mia is sad and says, "Oh no, we lost a point!" + +But Mia does not give up. She wants to make a goal too. She runs to the red net and waits for the ball. Her friend Lily has the ball and sees Mia. Lily passes the ball to Mia. Mia catches the ball and kicks it hard. It goes into the net. She makes a goal!

Anna has a white doll that she loves very much. Ben has a red car that he likes to zoom around. They are having fun, but then Ben sees Anna's doll and wants to play with it. + +"Anna, can I have your doll?" Ben asks. + +"No, Ben, this is my doll. You have your car," Anna says. + +"But I want to try your doll. It looks so soft and pretty," Ben says. + +He tries to grab the doll from Anna, but Anna resists. She holds the doll tight and says, "No, Ben, this is mine. You can't have it." + +Ben gets angry and starts to cry. He throws his car on the floor and kicks it. Anna gets scared and starts to cry too. They make a lot of noise and their mom hears them. + +She comes to the living room and sees them crying and fighting. She is very serious and says, "What is going on here? Why are you crying and fighting?" + +"Ben wants my doll and he tried to take it from me," Anna says. + +"But I want to play with the doll. Anna won't share," Ben says. + +Mom sighs and says, "Anna, Ben, you have to learn to share and take turns. Playing with toys is more fun when you are nice to each other. How about you swap your toys for a little while and see how you like them?" + +Anna and Ben look at each other and think. They are still upset, but they also want to make mom happy. They nod and say, "Okay, mom." + +Mom smiles and says, "Good. Now, give each other a hug and say sorry." + +Anna and Ben hug and say, "Sorry, Anna. Sorry, Ben." + +They swap their toys and start to play again. Anna likes the red car and Ben likes the white doll. They zoom and cuddle and laugh. Mom watches them and feels proud. She says, "That's better. I'm glad you are sharing and playing nicely. You are good kids." +Lily was a very independent girl. She liked to do things by herself, like putting on her shoes, brushing her teeth, and choosing her clothes. She also liked to explore new places, like the park, the library, and the farm. + +One day, her mom took her to the farm. Lily was very excited. She wanted to see the animals, the plants, and the machines. She held her mom's hand as they walked around the farm. She saw cows, pigs, chickens, sheep, and horses. She saw corn, wheat, carrots, and apples. She saw tractors, plows, and wagons. + +"Mom, can we see the bees?" Lily asked. She loved honey. She liked to eat it on toast, in yogurt, and with fruit. + +"Sure, honey," her mom said. "But we have to be careful. Bees can sting if they are angry." + +They followed a sign that said "Beehive". They saw a wooden box with a lot of bees flying around it. They also saw a farmer wearing a special suit and a hat with a net. He was holding a smoker and a tool. + +"Hello, I'm Farmer Ben," he said. "Do you want to see how I get honey from the bees?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily said. + +"OK, but you have to stay behind this fence. It's for your safety. The bees don't like strangers," he said. + +He explained how he used the smoker to calm the bees, and how he used the tool to open the box and take out the frames. He showed them the frames full of honeycomb, and how he spun them in a machine to get the honey out. He gave them a jar of fresh honey to take home. + +"Wow, thank you, Farmer Ben!" Lily said. "This is the best honey ever!" + +"You're welcome, Lily," he said. "I'm glad you like it. You're a very curious and independent girl. Maybe you can be a farmer when you grow up." + +Lily smiled. She liked that idea. She hugged her mom and thanked her for taking her to the farm. She had a lot of fun and learned a lot of new things. She was very excited to tell her dad and her friends about her adventure. +Sara and Ben woke up early. They wanted to see the sunrise. They put on their coats and hats and went outside. They saw the sky was pink and orange and yellow. They smiled and held hands. + +"Look, Sara, the sun is coming up!" Ben said. + +"Yes, Ben, it is so pretty!" Sara said. + +They saw a big hill near their house. They decided to climb it. They wanted to see the sun better. They walked and walked until they reached the top. They saw the sun was bright and warm. They felt happy. + +"Let's create something with the sun!" Sara said. + +"What do you mean?" Ben asked. + +"Let's use our hands and make shapes with the sun!" Sara said. + +They stretched their arms and fingers and made different shapes with the sun. They made a heart, a star, a flower, and a smiley face. They laughed and had fun. + +"Look, we created something with the sun!" Ben said. + +"Yes, we did! And it is yummy!" Sara said. + +They pretended to eat the shapes they made. They tasted sweet and good. They hugged and thanked the sun for the yummy shapes. They watched the sun rise higher and higher. They felt warm and cozy. They went back to their house and had breakfast. They told their mom and dad about their adventure. They said they saw the sunrise and created something yummy with the sun. Their mom and dad smiled and hugged them. They said they were proud of them. They said they loved them. Sara and Ben felt happy. They loved their mom and dad. They loved the sun. They loved each other. +Sam is a big boy. He likes to help his mom and dad. Sometimes, he helps mom with the dishes. Sometimes, he helps dad with the car. He thinks he has a job, like mom and dad. + +One day, dad is very busy. He has a serious job. He has to call many people on his phone. He has to write many things on his paper. He has to go to his office. He tells Sam to be good and quiet. + +Sam wants to help dad. He sees dad's phone on the table. He thinks he can call people too. He picks up the phone and pushes the buttons. He hears a voice. + +"Hello, this is Bob. Who is this?" the voice says. + +"Hi, Bob. This is Sam. I have a job. I help my mom and dad. What do you do?" Sam says. + +"Sam? How did you get this number? This is a serious call. I need to talk to your dad. Is he there?" Bob says. + +Sam does not understand. He thinks Bob is his friend. He wants to talk more. + +"No, dad is busy. He has a serious job too. Do you like cars? I help dad with the car. It is big and red. It goes vroom vroom." Sam says. + +Bob is confused and annoyed. He does not like cars. He needs to talk to dad. He tries to be polite. + +"Sam, that's nice, but I really need to talk to your dad. Can you please give him the phone?" Bob says. + +Sam does not want to give the phone. He likes to talk to Bob. He thinks Bob likes to talk to him. + +"No, Bob. You are my friend. We can talk more. Do you like dogs? I have a dog. His name is Spot. He is brown and white. He likes to run and bark." Sam says. + +Bob is losing his patience. He does not like dogs. He needs to talk to dad. He raises his voice. + +"Sam, listen to me. This is not a game. This is a serious call. You have to give the phone to your dad. Now!" Bob says. + +Sam hears Bob's loud voice. He gets scared. He thinks Bob is angry. He does not like angry people. He starts to cry. + +"Dad, dad, help me! Bob is angry. He is yelling at me. He wants the phone. I don't like him. He is not my friend." Sam cries. + +Dad hears Sam's cry. He runs to the table. He sees Sam holding the phone. He sees Bob's name on the screen. He knows Bob is his boss. He knows Bob is important. He knows Bob is waiting. He feels worried. + +"Sam, what are you doing? Why do you have my phone? Who are you talking to?" dad asks. + +Sam gives the phone to dad. He hugs dad's leg. He wipes his tears. + +"Dad, I'm sorry. I wanted to help you. I wanted to call people. I wanted to have a job. But Bob is angry. He is not nice. He does not like me." Sam says. + +Dad picks up Sam and holds him. He kisses his head. He smiles. + +"Sam, I love you. You are a good boy. You are very helpful. But you can't use my phone. It is not a toy. It is for my job. My job is serious. I have to talk to Bob. He is my boss. He is not angry at you. He is just busy. He has a serious job too. Do you understand?" dad says. + +Sam nods. He understands. He feels better. + +"Dad, I love you too. You are a big boy. You have a serious job. But can you play with me later? Can we play with the car and the dog?" Sam says. + +Dad nods. He feels better too. + +"Of course, Sam. We can play later. After I finish my job. After I talk to Bob. He is waiting. Can you say sorry to him?" dad says. + +Sam nods. He takes the phone. He talks to Bob. + +"Bob, I'm sorry. I did not mean to bother you. I hope you are not angry. You have a serious job. But can you be nice to me? Can you be my friend?" Sam says. + +Bob hears Sam's voice. He hears Sam's sorry. He feels sorry too. He softens his voice. + +"Sam, it's okay. I'm not angry. I was just surprised. You don't have to bother me. You have a good dad. He has a serious job. But he loves you. And I can be nice to you. I can be your friend." Bob says. + +Sam smiles. He likes Bob +Anna loves music. She likes to listen to songs and sing along. She also likes to watch her big sister play the violin. The violin makes beautiful sounds when her sister moves the bow on the strings. + +One day, Anna sees the violin on the table. She wants to try it. She climbs on a chair and tries to reach the violin. But the violin is too far. She stretches her arm, but she cannot touch it. She feels sad and frustrated. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" her sister asks. She comes into the room and sees Anna on the chair. She is not angry, but she is worried. "The violin is not a toy. You could break it or hurt yourself. Please get down from the chair." + +"But I want to play the violin, too!" Anna says. She looks at her sister with big eyes. "Can you teach me? Please?" + +Her sister smiles and hugs her. "I'm glad you like the violin, Anna. But you are too young to play it. You need to wait until you are bigger and stronger. Then I can teach you. For now, you can listen and watch me. Maybe you can clap or hum along. OK?" + +Anna nods. She feels a little better. She gets down from the chair and follows her sister. Her sister picks up the violin and plays a song for her. Anna listens and claps. She thinks her sister is very successful. She hopes one day she can be like her. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. One day, they found a rat in a hole. The rat was brown and furry, with a long tail and sharp teeth. + +"Look, a rat!" Ben said. "Can we keep it?" + +Lily shook her head. "No, we can't. Rats are not good pets. They are difficult. They bite and scratch and run away." + +"But I like it. It is cute and soft. Please, Lily, can we keep it?" Ben begged. + +Lily sighed. She knew Ben liked animals, but she also knew rats were not safe. She had an idea. "How about we make a house for it? We can use a box and some grass and some food. Then we can watch it, but not touch it." + +Ben thought about it. He wanted to hold the rat, but he also wanted to make it happy. He nodded. "Okay, let's do that. But we have to be careful. We don't want the rat to escape or the cat to catch it." + +They found a box and some grass and some food. They made a house for the rat and put it in the hole. They watched the rat eat and sleep and sniff. They smiled and whispered to each other. + +They had a new friend. But they knew they could not keep it. +Lila and Ben were at the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, but their favorite was the elephant. The elephant was big and gray, and had a long nose and big ears. + +"Can we touch the elephant, mom?" Lila asked. + +"Only if the zookeeper says it's okay," mom said. "The elephant is very gentle, but also very strong. We have to be careful and respectful." + +The zookeeper came and said they could touch the elephant, but only on its back. He gave them some carrots to feed the elephant. The elephant took the carrots with its nose and made a happy sound. + +Lila and Ben climbed on a stool and reached out to touch the elephant. They felt its skin and hair. It was rough and prickly, not soft like their teddy bears. + +"Wow, the elephant is not soft at all!" Ben said. + +"No, it's not," the zookeeper said. "But it needs to have tough skin to protect itself from the sun and the bugs. It also has a thick layer of fat under its skin to keep it warm. The elephant is different from us, but it's also amazing and beautiful." + +Lila and Ben nodded. They learned that the elephant was not soft, but it was still a wonderful animal. They thanked the zookeeper and the elephant, and gave it one more carrot. They decided to examine more animals and learn more about them. They realized that different doesn't mean bad, and that everyone has something special to offer. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their big house. One day, they find a new game. They take their pillows and slide down the stairs. It is fun and fast. + +But Mom and Dad are not happy. They are working in their office. They hear loud noises from the stairs. They tell Anna and Ben to stop. They say it is dangerous and noisy. They say they will be deaf if they keep sliding. + +Anna and Ben do not listen. They think Mom and Dad are boring. They want to have more fun. They slide down the stairs again and again. They laugh and scream. + +But then, something bad happens. Ben slides too fast and hits his head on the wall. He cries and bleeds. Anna is scared. She runs to him and hugs him. She calls Mom and Dad. + +Mom and Dad come quickly. They see Ben and Anna. They are worried and angry. They take Ben to the hospital. They scold Anna. They say she should have listened. They say she should have been careful. + +Anna feels sad and sorry. She regrets sliding down the stairs. She regrets not listening to Mom and Dad. She regrets hurting Ben. She hopes Ben will be okay. She says she is sorry. She says she loves Ben. She says she will never slide down the stairs again. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Ben says. He tries to lift the lid, but it is too heavy. He hurts his toe. "Ow!" he cries. + +"Are you okay?" Lily asks. She sees his toe is red. She runs to get a band-aid. She comes back and puts it on his toe. "There, that will help," she says. + +"Thank you, Lily," Ben says. He feels better. He hugs his sister. "You are very useful," he says. + +Lily smiles. She is happy to help. She has an idea. "Maybe we can use something to open the box," she says. She looks around and sees a stick. She picks it up and gives it to Ben. "Try this," she says. + +Ben takes the stick. He uses it to pry the lid open. He and Lily look inside. They see many toys and books. They are very excited. They take them out and start to play. + +"Wow, look at all these things!" Ben says. He finds a puzzle. He likes puzzles. He starts to put the pieces together. + +"Look at this!" Lily says. She finds a book. She likes books. She opens it and sees many pictures and words. She tries to read them. + +They play and learn for a long time. They have fun. They are happy. They are glad they found the box. They are glad they have each other. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play games. Today they play a game with limes. They have a big bowl of limes. They take turns to pick one lime and squeeze it in their mouths. The one who makes the funniest face wins. + +Tim picks a lime and squeezes it. He makes a sour face and spits out the juice. He says, "Blech! This lime is too sour!" + +Sam laughs and says, "My turn!" He picks a lime and squeezes it. He makes a mild face and swallows the juice. He says, "Mmm! This lime is not sour. It is sweet!" + +Tim is surprised and says, "How can a lime be sweet? Let me try!" He picks another lime and squeezes it. He makes a mild face and swallows the juice. He says, "You are right! This lime is sweet!" + +Sam smiles and says, "I win! I found the sweet lime!" + +Tim says, "No fair! You cheated! You knew which lime was sweet!" + +Sam says, "No, I did not cheat. I just guessed. It was luck!" + +Tim says, "OK, OK. You win. But can we play again? I want to find another sweet lime!" + +Sam says, "Sure, let's play again. Maybe we can find more sweet limes!" + +They play again and have fun. They like limes. They like games. They like to be friends. +Lily liked to look at the stars at night. She saw many bright dots in the dark sky. Some were big, some were small, some were white, some were yellow. She wondered what they were and how they got there. + +One night, she saw something very interesting. One of the stars was blinking. It was not like the other stars. It was changing from bright to dim, and then back to bright again. Lily was curious. She asked her mother, "What is that star, mother? Why is it blinking?" + +Her mother smiled and hugged her. She said, "That is not a star, Lily. That is a plane. A plane is a big metal bird that can fly very high and very fast. People can go inside the plane and travel to faraway places. The plane is blinking because it has lights on its wings. The lights help the plane to see and to be seen by other planes and by the ground." + +Lily was amazed. She said, "Wow, a plane! That is so cool! Can we go inside a plane someday, mother? Can we fly to faraway places?" + +Her mother said, "Maybe someday, Lily. Maybe someday. But for now, let's enjoy the stars and the plane. They are both beautiful and interesting." She kissed Lily on the forehead and said, "Good night, my sweet girl. I love you." + +Lily said, "Good night, mother. I love you too." She closed her eyes and dreamed of flying in a plane. +Lily liked her long hair. She liked to play with it and make it into braids and buns. But her mom said she needed a haircut. Lily did not want a haircut. She was scared of the scissors and the loud noise of the hair salon. + +"Please, mom, no haircut!" Lily cried. + +"Come on, Lily, it will be fun. You can choose a new style and a pretty color. How about pink?" her mom said. + +"Pink?" Lily asked. She liked pink. It was her favorite color. She had a pink dress and a pink teddy bear and a pink bike. + +"Yes, pink. You will look so cute with pink hair. And it will grow back, don't worry. I care about you, Lily. I want you to be happy and healthy." her mom said. + +Lily thought about it. She still liked her long hair, but she also liked pink. And she knew her mom cared about her. Maybe a haircut was not so bad. + +"Okay, mom. I will try a haircut. But only if I can have pink hair." Lily said. + +"Deal. Let's go, then. You are a brave girl, Lily." her mom said. + +They went to the hair salon. Lily sat on a big chair and put on a cape. The hairdresser smiled at her and said hello. She showed her some pictures of different haircuts and colors. Lily pointed at the one she liked. It was a bob with pink streaks. + +"Are you sure, Lily? This is a big change." the hairdresser asked. + +"Yes, I am sure. I want to look like a princess." Lily said. + +The hairdresser nodded and started to cut Lily's hair. Lily closed her eyes and held her mom's hand. She felt the scissors snip snip snip. She heard the hairdryer whoosh whoosh whoosh. She smelled the spray that made her hair shiny. + +When it was done, the hairdresser turned the chair around and showed Lily a mirror. Lily opened her eyes and gasped. She saw a new Lily. A Lily with short hair and pink hair. A Lily that looked like a princess. + +"Wow! I love it! Thank you, thank you!" Lily said. + +"You're welcome, Lily. You look beautiful. And so brave." the hairdresser said. + +Lily hugged her mom and thanked her too. She was happy with her haircut. She felt proud and pretty. She did not miss her long hair. She liked her pink hair. She liked her new Lily. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with trains. They have many trains and a big track. They make the track go around the room. They put the trains on the track and make them go fast. + +One day, Tom sees a new train in the shop. It is red and shiny. It has a loud whistle. Tom wants the new train. He asks his mom to buy it for him. His mom says no. She says he has enough trains already. Tom is sad and angry. + +He goes to Sam's house to play. He sees that Sam has the new train. Sam is happy and proud. He shows Tom how the train works. He says it is the best train ever. Tom feels jealous. He wants the new train too. He says to Sam, "Can I play with your train?" + +Sam is kind. He likes to share. He says, "Sure, you can play with my train. But you have to be careful. It is my favorite train." He gives Tom the train and lets him put it on the track. + +Tom is happy. He plays with the new train. He makes it go fast and whistle. He forgets about his other trains. He forgets about Sam. He thinks the new train is his. He says, "This is my train. I don't want to give it back." + +Sam is sad and hurt. He says, "No, it is not your train. It is my train. You have to give it back. It is not nice to take things that are not yours." He tries to take the train from Tom. + +Tom and Sam start to fight. They pull and push. They yell and cry. They break the track. They break the train. They break their friendship. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big fog that covered everything. They wanted to see what was in the fog, so they ran into it. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Lily said. "I can't see anything!" + +"Me too!" Tom said. "Let's hurry and find something cool!" + +They ran and ran, but they got lost in the fog. They could not see the park or each other. They felt scared and cold. + +"Where are you, Lily?" Tom shouted. + +"Where are you, Tom?" Lily shouted. + +They heard a voice that sounded like Lily's. It said, "I'm here, Tom! Come to me!" + +Tom followed the voice, but it was not Lily. It was a mean dog that was jealous of their fun. It barked and bit Tom. Tom cried and tried to run away, but the dog chased him. + +Lily heard Tom's cry and the dog's bark. She wanted to help Tom, but she did not know where he was. She also heard a voice that sounded like Tom's. It said, "I'm here, Lily! Come to me!" + +Lily followed the voice, but it was not Tom. It was a big truck that was driving fast in the fog. It honked and hit Lily. Lily screamed and fell down. The truck did not stop. + +The fog cleared and the sun came out. The park was quiet and empty. Lily and Tom were gone. The dog and the truck did not care. They went away. The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big tree in the park. The tree has many green leaves and brown branches. Lily and Ben want to touch the leaves. They think they are pretty. + +They run to the tree and try to reach the leaves. But they are too short. The leaves are too high. They cannot touch them. + +Lily has an idea. She says to Ben, "Let's stretch our arms. Maybe we can touch the leaves then." + +Ben nods. He says, "OK, let's try." + +They stretch their arms as much as they can. They open their palms and try to catch the leaves. But they are still too short. The leaves are still too high. They cannot touch them. + +They feel sad. They want to touch the leaves. + +A man sees them. He is tall and kind. He smiles at them. He says, "Do you want to touch the leaves?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, please." + +The man says, "OK, I can help you. Come here." + +He lifts them up, one by one. He holds them in his arms. He brings them close to the leaves. He says, "Now you can touch them. Be gentle. They are healthy and beautiful." + +Lily and Ben touch the leaves. They feel soft and smooth. They are happy. They say, "Thank you, mister. You are nice." + +The man says, "You're welcome, kids. You are nice, too. Enjoy the park." + +He puts them down. He waves at them. He walks away. + +Lily and Ben wave back. They smile. They have a new friend. They have touched the leaves. They have fun. +Lily loved to draw animals. She had many books with pictures of animals, and she liked to copy them with her crayons. One day, she saw a new animal in her book. It was big and orange, with black stripes and sharp teeth. It was a tiger. + +She wanted to draw the tiger, but she did not know how. She asked her mom to help her. Her mom smiled and said, "I will explain how to draw a tiger, but you have to listen carefully and follow the steps." + +Her mom showed her how to draw a big oval for the body, a smaller circle for the head, four legs, a tail, and two ears. Then she showed her how to add the stripes, the eyes, the nose, and the mouth. Lily watched and tried to do the same. She used her orange and black crayons. + +When she finished, she looked at her drawing and then at the book. She was very proud of her work. She said, "Look, mom, I drew a tiger! It looks like the one in the book!" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "You did a great job, Lily! I am very proud of you too. You see, you can draw anything if you listen and learn and try your best." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. Can you explain how to draw another animal?" + +Her mom nodded and said, "Of course, my dear. How about a giraffe?" + +Lily clapped her hands and said, "Yes, please! I love giraffes!" + +They turned the page and started to draw again. +Anna likes to play with her mirror. She likes to see her face and make funny faces. She likes to wave at herself and say hello. She thinks the mirror is her friend. + +One day, Anna takes her mirror to the park. She wants to show her mirror to the other kids. She sees a boy on the swing. She runs to him and says, "Look at my mirror! It is my friend. Do you want to see?" + +The boy looks at Anna and her mirror. He does not like Anna. He thinks she is silly. He says, "Your mirror is not your friend. It is just a thing. You are stupid. Go away!" + +He pushes Anna and her mirror. The mirror falls on the ground and breaks. Anna feels sad and hurt. She cries and picks up the pieces of her mirror. + +A girl on the slide sees what happens. She feels sorry for Anna. She goes to her and says, "Are you okay? That was mean. I am sorry for your mirror." + +She helps Anna to clean up the pieces. She says, "Your mirror was not your friend, but I can be your friend. Do you want to play with me?" + +Anna smiles and nods. She says, "Yes, please. Thank you. You are gentle and kind." + +They go to the slide and have fun. They wave at each other and laugh. Anna learns that friends are better than things. She learns that gentle and kind words are better than mean and rude words. She is happy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big red truck in the park. It is shiny and has four big wheels. + +"Wow, look at this truck!" Lily says. "Can we play with it?" + +"Sure, let's play!" Tom says. They climb on the truck and pretend to drive. They make loud noises like honk, vroom and beep. + +But then, the truck starts to make a strange noise. It sounds like grrr, grrr, grrr. Smoke comes out of the back. The truck stops moving. + +"Oh no, what's wrong with the truck?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know, maybe it needs oil," Tom says. He remembers that his dad puts oil in his car sometimes. + +"Oil? What is oil?" Lily asks. + +"Oil is a thing that makes cars and trucks go. It is slippery and wet. It is in a can like this," Tom says. He points to a can under the truck. It has a picture of a drop on it. + +"Can we get the oil and put it in the truck?" Lily asks. + +"Maybe, let's try," Tom says. They get off the truck and look for the place where the oil goes. They find a cap that says oil on it. They open the can and pour some oil in the cap. + +"Be careful, don't spill it," Lily says. + +"I'm careful, don't worry," Tom says. They fill the cap with oil and close it. They hope the truck will work again. + +They climb back on the truck and turn the key. The truck makes a happy noise like purr, purr, purr. It starts to move. + +"Yay, we did it! The truck is happy!" Lily says. + +"We did it! We are good at fixing trucks!" Tom says. They smile and hug. They drive the truck around the park and have fun. They are happy too. +Anna and Ben are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They look for something to give him a nose. They see a branch on the ground. It is brown and long. + +"Let's use this branch for his nose!" Anna says. + +"OK!" Ben says. They stick the branch in the snowman's face. He looks funny. + +They hear a sound. It is a bird. It is sitting on a tree. It is pink and small. It sings a song. + +"Look, a bird!" Ben says. + +"Wow, it is so pretty!" Anna says. They want to see the bird better. They walk to the tree. + +The bird sees them. It is scared. It flies away. It drops something. It is a feather. It is pink and soft. + +"Look, a feather!" Anna says. + +"Let's take it!" Ben says. They run to the feather. They pick it up. It is cold. + +They hear another sound. It is their mom. She is calling them. + +"Anna! Ben! Time to go inside!" she says. + +"OK, mom!" they say. They run to their mom. They show her the feather. + +"Look, mom, we found a pink feather!" they say. + +"Wow, that is very nice!" she says. "Where did you find it?" + +"A pink bird dropped it!" they say. + +"A pink bird? That is amazing!" she says. "Maybe it was a flamingo. They are pink birds that live in warm places. But sometimes they fly to cold places too." + +"Really?" they say. + +"Yes, really. But they don't like the cold. They can freeze. That is why they have feathers to keep them warm." she says. + +"Wow, that is cool!" they say. + +They go inside. They put the feather in a vase. They drink hot chocolate. They tell their mom about their snowman and his branch nose. They are happy. They had a fun day. +Tom and Anna are playing in the yard. They like to play hide and seek. Tom is the seeker and Anna is the hider. Anna runs to the shed and looks for a good spot to hide. She sees a big iron box. She thinks it is a good spot to hide. She opens the box and gets inside. She closes the lid. + +Tom counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looks for Anna in the yard. He does not see her. He looks for Anna in the house. He does not see her. He looks for Anna in the garage. He does not see her. He starts to feel sad and worried. He says, "Anna, where are you? I can't find you!" + +Anna hears Tom's voice. She feels proud. She thinks she is the best hider ever. She does not want to come out of the box. She stays quiet and still. She does not know that the box is locked. She does not know that Tom can't open it. + +Tom hears a faint sound from the shed. He runs to the shed and looks around. He sees the big iron box. He thinks Anna might be inside. He tries to open the lid. He can't. He pushes and pulls. He can't. He bangs and kicks. He can't. He starts to feel scared and angry. He says, "Anna, are you in there? Come out, come out, right now!" + +Anna hears Tom's voice. She feels scared. She thinks Tom is mad at her. She wants to come out of the box. She tries to open the lid. She can't.

He thinks Anna is scared and hurt. He wants to help her. He looks for something to break the lid. He sees a hammer. He grabs the hammer and hits the lid. He hits and hits and hits. He breaks the lid. He opens the box and sees Anna. She is crying and shaking. He hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know. Are you okay?" + +Anna hugs him and says, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was hiding. I'm okay, I'm okay. Thank you, thank you, you saved me." + +Tom and Anna are happy. They are friends again. They decide to play something else. They do not play hide and seek anymore. They do not like the big iron box anymore. They leave the shed and go to the yard. They play with the ball. They have fun. They are proud. They are brave. They are smart. They are kind. They are good. +Ben and Lily liked to play with the big sheet. They used it to make a tent, a cape, a sail, and a blanket. One day, they decided to play superheroes. Ben put the sheet around his neck and said, "I am Super Ben! I can fly and save people!" Lily said, "I am Super Lily! I can run fast and stop bad guys!" + +They ran around the yard, pretending to fight and rescue. They saw a big tree and thought it would be fun to climb it. Ben said, "Look, Super Lily! There is a cat stuck on the branch! We have to save it!" Lily said, "OK, Super Ben! You fly up and get it, and I will catch you!" Ben nodded and climbed the tree. He reached the branch and grabbed the cat. It was not a real cat, but a toy. Ben did not know that. He thought it was a real cat and it was scared. + +He shouted, "Don't worry, kitty! I will save you!" He jumped off the branch, holding the cat and the sheet. He thought the sheet would make him fly, like a parachute. He was wrong. The sheet did not make him fly. It made him fall faster. He was foolish. He did not know how flying works. + +Lily saw Ben falling. She was scared. She ran to catch him, but she was too late. Ben hit the ground hard. He dropped the cat and the sheet. He cried. He was hurt. Lily cried too. She was sorry. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Super Ben! I should have stopped you! You were foolish, but I love you!" Ben said, "I'm sorry, Super Lily! I should have listened to you! I was foolish, but I love you too!" They hugged and cried. + +Mom heard them crying. She came out and saw them. She was worried. She said, "What happened, Ben and Lily? Are you OK?" They told her what they did. She was angry and sad. She said, "You were very foolish, Ben and Lily! You could have been hurt very badly! You should never jump from a tree with a sheet! That is not how flying works! You should be careful and safe!" She checked them for injuries. They had some bruises and scratches, but nothing serious. She said, "You are lucky, Ben and Lily! You are not badly hurt, but you need to learn from your mistake. No more playing with the sheet. No more jumping from trees. No more pretending to be superheroes. Do you understand?" They nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We are sorry, Mom. We love you, Mom." She said, "I love you too, Ben and Lily. But you need to be smarter and safer. Come on, let's go inside and have some ice cream. That will make you feel better." They said, "OK, Mom. Thank you, Mom." They followed her inside, holding hands. They learned their lesson. They were foolish, but they were also brave and kind. They were still Ben and Lily. +Lily and Ben were twins who loved to read. They had many books on their bookshelf in their room. Sometimes, they would read together and share their stories. + +One day, it was very cold outside. The wind was loud and the snow was white. Lily and Ben wanted to read, but they could not find their favorite books. They looked on the bookshelf, but they were not there. + +"Where are our books?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe Mom or Dad took them," Ben said. + +They went to ask Mom and Dad, but they were not in the house. They had gone to the store to buy some food. Lily and Ben felt sad and lonely. They wished they had their books to keep them company. + +They went back to their room and saw a note on the door. It said: "We have your books. If you want them back, come to the basement. But be careful, it is dark and scary. Signed, The Monsters." + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not like the basement. It was cold and damp and full of spiders. They shivered as they thought of the monsters. + +"Should we go?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a trick," Ben said. + +They decided to be brave and go to the basement. They held hands and walked down the stairs. They turned on the light and saw their books on a table. They also saw two figures hiding behind a curtain. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked. + +"We are the monsters," a voice said. + +Lily and Ben pulled the curtain and saw their older brother and sister. They were wearing masks and costumes. They were trying to scare them. + +"Ha ha, we got you!" they said. + +Lily and Ben were angry. They did not think it was funny. They grabbed their books and ran back to their room. They locked the door and did not talk to their brother and sister. + +Mom and Dad came home and saw what happened. They were not happy. They scolded their older children and told them to apologize to Lily and Ben. They also told them to share their books and be kind to each other. + +Lily and Ben forgave their brother and sister. They hugged and said they were sorry. They learned that reading is fun, but playing together is better. They also learned that scaring others is not nice, and that monsters are not real. They were happy and warm again. +Tom was a little person who liked to sleep a lot. He had a big bed with a soft pillow and a warm blanket. He liked to dream about flying and playing with his friends. + +One morning, Tom heard a loud noise outside his window. He opened his eyes and saw a fierce animal. It had sharp teeth, a long tail and a big roar. It was a lion! The lion was looking for food and it saw Tom in his bed. + +"Hello, little person," the lion said. "You look tasty. Can I eat you for breakfast?" + +Tom was very scared. He did not want to be eaten by the lion. He jumped out of his bed and ran to his door. He tried to open it, but it was locked. He forgot to take his key. + +"Help! Help!" Tom shouted. "There is a lion in my room!" + +His mom and dad heard his cry. They ran to his room and unlocked the door. They saw the lion and they were angry. + +"Go away, lion!" Tom's dad said. "This is our home. You cannot eat our son!" + +The lion was not afraid of Tom's dad. He growled and showed his teeth. He wanted to fight. + +But then, Tom's mom did something clever. She took a big pot and a wooden spoon from the kitchen. She banged the pot with the spoon and made a loud noise. The noise hurt the lion's ears. He covered them with his paws and whimpered. + +"Stop! Stop!" the lion said. "That noise is too loud. It makes me dizzy. Please let me go!" + +Tom's mom did not stop. She banged the pot louder and louder. The lion was so scared that he ran away. He jumped out of the window and ran into the forest. He never came back. + +Tom was happy. He hugged his mom and dad and thanked them for saving him. + +"You are brave, Tom," his mom said. "You did not let the lion eat you." + +"You are smart, mom," Tom said. "You made the lion run away with your noise." + +Tom's dad smiled. He gave Tom his key and said, "Here, Tom. This is your key. You can lock your door at night. But don't worry. There are no more lions around. You can sleep well." + +Tom took his key and nodded. He went back to his bed and snuggled under his blanket. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. He dreamed about flying and playing with his friends. He was happy. +Tom and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with blocks and make different shapes. Sometimes they made houses, sometimes they made cars, sometimes they made animals. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, they found a big box of new blocks. They were very happy. They wanted to use all the blocks and make the biggest shape ever. But they had a problem. Tom wanted to make a rocket, and Sam wanted to make a castle. They both thought their idea was the best. + +They started to argue and fight. They pulled and pushed the blocks. They did not want to yield and let the other friend have some blocks. They did not want to share or compromise. They were very angry and sad. + +Then, they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw that their shape had fallen down. All the blocks were scattered and broken. They had ruined their shape and their new blocks. They felt very sorry and foolish. + +They realized that they had been bad friends. They had not been loyal or kind to each other. They had not respected or listened to each other. They had not valued their friendship more than their shape. + +They hugged and said sorry. They decided to work together and make a new shape. They agreed to take turns and help each other. They learned to yield and cooperate. They were happy and proud. + +They made a beautiful shape. It was a rainbow. It had all the colors and all the blocks. It was a symbol of their friendship and their lesson. They smiled and played. They were good friends. +Tom and Lily are best friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. One day, they see a big truck with many balloons on it. The truck stops at the red light near the park. + +"Wow, look at the balloons!" Lily says. "They are so pretty and colorful. I want one!" + +"Me too!" Tom says. "Let's go and ask the truck man if he can give us one." + +They run to the truck, but they have to wait for the green light. They are very eager to get a balloon. They hold hands and look at the traffic. They see cars, buses, bikes, and people. + +"Beep beep!" The truck horn sounds. The truck man smiles and waves at them. He opens the door and takes out two balloons. One is red and one is blue. + +"Here you go, kids," he says. "These are for you. Have fun!" + +"Thank you, thank you!" Tom and Lily say. They take the balloons and hug the truck man. Then they run back to the park. + +"Look at our balloons!" Lily says. "They are so big and round. I love mine!" + +"Me too!" Tom says. "I love yours too!" + +They look at each other and smile. Then they kiss each other on the cheek. + +They are very happy. They play with their balloons and their toys. They are best friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play soccer in the park. They have a ball and two goals. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score. + +One day, Lily and Ben are playing soccer when they see a big dog. The dog is black and brown and has a long tail. The dog runs to the ball and picks it up with its mouth. Lily and Ben are scared. They want their ball back. + +"Hey, dog, give us our ball!" Lily shouts. + +The dog looks at Lily and Ben. It growls and shows its teeth. It is hungry and angry. It does not want to give the ball. + +"Please, dog, we just want to play!" Ben says. + +The dog does not listen. It runs away with the ball. Lily and Ben chase the dog, but the dog is faster. It performs a trick and jumps over a fence. Lily and Ben cannot follow. They stop and cry. + +They have lost their ball. They have no score. They are hungry and sad. They go home and tell their moms what happened. Their moms hug them and say they are sorry. They make them some sandwiches and juice. They say they will buy them a new ball. + +But Lily and Ben are still unhappy. They miss their old ball. They do not want to play soccer anymore. They have a bad day. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big cliff near their house. They wanted to see how high it was. + +"Let's measure the cliff," Tom said. "We can use this stick and count how many times it fits." + +"OK," Sue said. "But be careful. The cliff is very steep and we might fall." + +They took turns holding the stick and putting it on the ground. They moved it up the cliff and said a number each time. + +"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten," Tom said. "Wow, the cliff is ten sticks high. That's a lot." + +"Let me try," Sue said. She took the stick and started from the bottom. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve," she said. "The cliff is twelve sticks high. That's even more." + +Tom looked at Sue and frowned. "How can that be?" he asked. "We used the same stick. Did you cheat?" + +"No, I didn't cheat," Sue said. "Maybe the stick got smaller. Or maybe the cliff got bigger." + +They looked at the stick and the cliff. They were confused. They decided to measure something else. + +"Let's measure this flower," Tom said. He picked a nice yellow flower and held it next to the stick. "The flower is half a stick long. That's easy." + +"Let me see," Sue said. She took the flower and the stick. She smiled. "The flower is one stick long. That's better." + +Tom and Sue looked at each other and laughed. They realized they were holding the stick differently. Tom was holding it from the end, and Sue was holding it from the middle. + +"That's why our numbers were different," Tom said. "We were measuring wrong." + +They hugged and said sorry. They learned how to measure right. They had fun playing with the stick and the flower. They were nice friends. +Lily liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She would pour out the clothes from the big box and try them on. She liked the shiny dresses and the soft scarves. She did not like the hangers. They were hard and pointy and made her clothes look funny. + +One day, Lily wanted to wear a perfect dress for her tea party with her dolls. She poured out the clothes and found a pink dress with flowers. She put it on and looked in the mirror. She smiled. She was so pretty. She did not need a hanger for her dress. She threw the hanger on the floor and ran to the living room. + +Mom came home and saw the mess in her room. She saw the clothes on the floor and the hanger on the bed. She was not happy. She called Lily and asked her what she did. Lily said she was playing dress-up and she found a perfect dress. She showed mom her dress and said she did not need a hanger. + +Mom said she was glad Lily liked her dress, but she was not glad she made a mess. She said hangers are important. They help keep the clothes nice and neat. They also help save space in the box. She said Lily should always put the clothes and the hangers back in the box when she was done playing. She said that was the right thing to do. + +Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to make mom unhappy. She said she was sorry and she would help mom clean up. She said she would use the hangers next time. She learned that playing dress-up was fun, but she also had to be responsible and respectful. She hugged mom and said she loved her. Mom hugged her back and said she loved her too. They cleaned up the room together and had a nice tea party with the dolls. +Sara and Ben are playing in their room. They have many toys, but they want to make something new. They see the curtain on the window. It is light and soft. + +"Let's make a tent with the curtain!" Sara says. + +"OK, how do we do that?" Ben asks. + +Sara thinks for a moment. She has an idea. She pulls the curtain from the rod. She folds it in half. She puts one end on the bed and the other end on the chair. + +"Look, we have a tent!" Sara says. + +Ben crawls under the curtain. He likes the tent. It is cozy and dark. He invites Sara to join him. + +"Come in, Sara. It is fun in here!" Ben says. + +Sara crawls under the curtain too. She smiles at Ben. They pretend they are camping in the woods. They tell stories and sing songs. They have a lot of fun with the curtain. +Tom and Sue were very happy. They were going on a safari with their grandma and grandpa. They loved to see the big animals in the park. They packed their hats, their water and their snacks. + +"Are you ready, kids?" Grandma asked. She was elderly, but she was very strong and kind. She liked to care for Tom and Sue. + +"Yes, Grandma!" Tom and Sue said. They climbed into the car with Grandpa. He was elderly too, but he was very smart and funny. He liked to tell stories about the animals. + +They drove to the park and saw many animals. They saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and more. Tom and Sue pointed and shouted with joy. + +"Look, Grandma, a lion!" Tom said. + +"Wow, Grandpa, an elephant!" Sue said. + +Grandma and Grandpa smiled and took pictures. They were very proud of Tom and Sue. They taught them the names of the animals and how to be respectful and safe. + +They had a wonderful safari. They saw many things and learned a lot. They thanked Grandma and Grandpa for the trip. They hugged and kissed them. + +"We love you, Grandma and Grandpa!" Tom and Sue said. + +"We love you too, Tom and Sue!" Grandma and Grandpa said. +Ben and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. But Ben and Lily liked the penguins best. They watched them swim and slide on the ice. + +"Look, mom, they are so funny!" Lily said. + +"Yes, they are, dear. But do you know why they live in the cold?" mom asked. + +"Because they like it?" Ben guessed. + +"Partly, yes. But also because they have thick feathers and fat to keep them warm. And they eat fish and squid that live in the cold water," mom explained. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They learned something new. + +But one penguin looked sad. He was sitting alone on a rock, not playing with the others. He looked restless and bored. + +"What's wrong with him, mom?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, sweetie. Maybe he misses his home or his friends. Or maybe he is sick or hurt," mom said. + +"Can we help him, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Well, we can't go inside the penguin house, but we can do something nice for him. We can wave to him, or talk to him, or draw him a picture," mom suggested. + +Ben and Lily liked that idea. They waved to the sad penguin, and said hello. They told him their names, and that they liked him. They drew him a picture of a fish, and showed it to him. + +The sad penguin looked at them. He tilted his head, and made a soft noise. He seemed curious and happy. + +"Look, mom, he likes us!" Lily said. + +"Yes, he does. You are very kind, Ben and Lily. You made him feel better. You improved his day," mom said. + +Ben and Lily smiled. They were glad they helped the sad penguin. They hoped he would have more fun with the other penguins. They said goodbye to him, and went to see the other animals. But they always remembered the sad penguin, and how they improved his day. +Dan and Mia are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big truck with a picture of a pastry on it. The truck stops near the park and a man comes out. He is bald and has a big smile. + +"Hello, kids! Do you want to try some of my pastries? They are fresh and yummy!" the man says. + +Dan and Mia look at their mom and dad. Mom and dad nod and give them some money. Dan and Mia run to the truck and look at the pastries. There are many kinds: chocolate, apple, cheese, and more. + +"I want a chocolate pastry!" Dan says. + +"I want an apple pastry!" Mia says. + +The man gives them their pastries and says, "Enjoy!" + +Dan and Mia take a big bite of their pastries. They are soft and sweet and warm. They make them happy. + +"Thank you, mister!" Dan and Mia say. + +"You're welcome, kids! Have a nice day!" the man says. + +He starts his truck and drives away. Dan and Mia wave to him and go back to their mom and dad. They share their pastries with them and tell them how good they are. + +Mom and dad hug them and say, "We love you, Dan and Mia. You are our sweet pastries!" +Tom and Mia liked to play in the park. They saw many pigeons there. They liked to feed them bread and seeds. One day, they saw a pigeon with a hurt wing. It could not fly with the other pigeons. It looked sad and lonely. + +"Can we help the pigeon?" Mia asked Tom. + +"Maybe we can," Tom said. "Let's take it home and ask mom." + +They gently picked up the pigeon and put it in a box. They carried it to their house. They showed it to their mom. She said they could keep it for a while, but they had to be careful and kind. + +Tom and Mia made a soft bed for the pigeon in the box. They gave it water and food. They talked to it and stroked it. They named it Fluffy. Every day, they checked on its wing. They hoped it would get better soon. + +After a few weeks, Fluffy's wing was healed. It could flap and stretch it. It looked happy and strong. Tom and Mia were happy too. They were proud of their work. They had helped to restore the pigeon's health. + +But they also knew that Fluffy belonged to the sky. They decided to take it back to the park. They opened the box and let Fluffy out. Fluffy looked at them and cooed. Then it flew up and joined the other pigeons. + +"Bye, Fluffy!" Tom and Mia said. "We will miss you, but we are glad you are free." + +They watched Fluffy fly away. They felt a little sad, but also happy. They had been successful in helping a friend. They had learned to be gentle and generous. They smiled and hugged each other. They knew they would always remember Fluffy. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys and read books. But today they are going to visit their grandma. Grandma lives in a big house with a garden. She has a dog named Spot. + +"Come on, Lily and Max, it's time to go!" Mom says. She puts on their coats and hats. They get in the car and drive to grandma's house. + +"Hello, my darlings!" Grandma says. She hugs and kisses them. "I'm so happy to see you. Do you want some cookies and milk?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Max say. They follow grandma to the kitchen. Spot follows them too. He wags his tail and barks. + +They eat the cookies and drink the milk. They tell grandma about their toys and books. Grandma tells them stories about when she was little. They laugh and have fun. + +But soon Lily and Max feel sleepy. Their eyes are heavy and their heads are nodding. + +"Are you tired, my darlings?" Grandma asks. "Do you want to take a nap?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Max say. They follow grandma to the guest room. Spot follows them too. He curls up on the rug. + +Grandma tucks them in the bed. She kisses them and sings a lullaby. + +"Sleep well, my darlings," Grandma says. "I love you very much." + +Lily and Max close their eyes. They dream of cookies and milk, toys and books, and grandma and Spot. They are happy and cozy. They are glad they came to visit. +Ben and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. Ben has a big red truck and Mia has a soft yellow duck. They like to make noises and pretend they are driving and swimming. + +"Beep beep! Move, duck!" Ben says, pushing his truck towards Mia's duck. + +"Quack quack! No, truck!" Mia says, holding her duck close to her chest. + +Ben tries to grab the duck from Mia, but she squeezes it hard and does not let go. Ben gets angry and pulls harder. Mia gets scared and starts to cry. + +"Stop, stop!" Mom says, hearing the noise. She comes to the living room and sees Ben and Mia fighting over the duck. She picks up Ben and puts him on the couch. She hugs Mia and wipes her tears. + +"Why are you fighting, Ben?" Mom asks. + +"I want the duck!" Ben says. + +"But the duck is Mia's toy. You have your own truck. You need to share and be nice to your sister." Mom says. + +"But I like the duck!" Ben says. + +"You can ask Mia if you can play with the duck, but you cannot take it from her. That is not normal. That is rude." Mom says. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He looks at Mia and sees that she is still holding the duck. He feels sorry for making her cry. + +"Mia, can I play with the duck?" Ben asks. + +Mia looks at Ben and sees that he is not angry anymore. She smiles and nods. + +"Okay, you can play with the duck. But be gentle. Don't squeeze it too hard." Mia says. + +"Thank you, Mia. I will be gentle. Can I ask you a question?" Ben says. + +"Sure, what is it?" Mia says. + +"Why does the duck quack?" Ben says. + +Mia laughs and says, "Because it is a duck. That is what ducks do. They quack." + +Ben laughs too and says, "That is funny. I like ducks. They are cute." + +Mom smiles and says, "I'm glad you are getting along now. You are both cute too. Now, why don't you play together nicely and have fun?" +Anna and Ben are playing with a toy car. The car can move and make noises when they press a button. They like the car very much. It is a reliable car. It does not break or stop. + +"Look, Anna, I can make the car go fast!" Ben says. He presses the button hard and the car zooms across the floor. + +"Wow, Ben, that is fun!" Anna says. She presses the button too and the car turns and beeps. + +They play with the car for a long time. They make it go around the table, under the chair, and over the rug. They laugh and clap. + +But then, the car starts to slow down. It does not move as fast or make as much noise. Ben and Anna are confused. + +"What is wrong with the car?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe it is tired?" Anna guesses. + +They look at the car and see a small door on the bottom. They open it and find a battery inside. The battery is small and round. It has a plus and a minus sign on it. + +"Maybe the battery is low," Ben says. "We need a new battery." + +"Where can we get a new battery, Ben?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know, Anna. Maybe we can ask Mom or Dad," Ben says. + +They pick up the car and the battery and run to find their parents. They hope they can get a new battery and play with the car again. They do not want the car to end. They love the car. It is a reliable car. It makes them happy. +Tom loved his pony very much. He liked to feed him, brush him and ride him in the field. He named his pony Spot, because he had a big black spot on his back. Tom and Spot were best friends. + +One day, Tom's dad said they had to leave the farm. He said they had no money and they had to go to a new place. Tom was very sad. He did not want to leave Spot. He begged his dad to let him keep his pony, but his dad said no. He said they had to sell Spot to another farmer. + +Tom was very brave. He hugged Spot and said goodbye. He told him he loved him and he would always remember him. He gave him a carrot and a kiss. Then he got in the car with his dad and drove away. + +Spot watched the car leave. He was very sad too. He did not understand why Tom had to go. He missed his friend and his field. He did not like the new farmer. He was mean and hit him with a stick. He made him work hard and gave him little food and water. Spot wished he could see Tom again. + +But Tom never came back. He and his dad moved to a big city. They lived in a small and dirty apartment. Tom had no friends and no pony. He was lonely and unhappy. He often dreamed of Spot and the farm. He wished he could go back. But he never did. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with crayons. They had many colors and shapes of crayons, and they made pictures on paper. Sometimes they also made marks on the wall, but they knew that was bad. Their mom and dad would mind if they saw the marks, and they would be angry and sad. + +One day, Tom had a new idea. He said to Sam, "Let's make marks on the floor. It will be fun and no one will see them." Sam was not sure. He said, "But what if mom and dad find out? They will mind a lot. And the floor is not for crayons. It is for walking and cleaning." Tom said, "Don't be silly. It is just a game. Come on, it will be fun." + +So Tom and Sam started to make marks on the floor with their crayons. They made circles and lines and stars and flowers. They laughed and had fun. But they did not see that their mom was coming home. She opened the door and saw the marks on the floor. She was very angry and sad. She said, "What have you done? This is disgusting. You have ruined the floor. How could you do this? I mind a lot. You are very naughty. Go to your room and think about what you did." + +Tom and Sam felt very bad. They knew they had done something wrong. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not mean to make you angry and sad. We were just playing. We will not do it again." Mom said, "You should not play with crayons on the floor. You should only use them on paper. And you should always ask me or dad before you use them. Crayons are for making beautiful pictures, not disgusting marks. You need to learn to respect the things you have and the things you share. Now go to your room and think about that." + +Tom and Sam went to their room and thought about what they did. They felt sorry and ashamed. They decided to never make marks on the floor again. They also decided to clean the marks with a cloth and some water. They hoped that mom would forgive them and be happy again. They learned that they should not do things that would make mom and dad mind, and that they should be careful and kind with their crayons. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw many trees with green and yellow leaves. Tom and Lily liked to pick up the leaves and throw them in the air. + +"Look, mom, I have a big leaf!" Tom said, holding a leaf bigger than his hand. + +"That's a nice leaf, Tom. Can I see it?" mom asked. + +Tom ran to mom and gave her the leaf. Mom smiled and hugged Tom. "Thank you, Tom. You are very sweet." + +Lily also wanted to show mom her leaf. She found a leaf that was red and had a funny shape. She thought it looked like a heart. + +"Mom, mom, look at my leaf!" Lily said, waving her leaf. + +Mom turned to Lily and saw her leaf. Mom laughed and hugged Lily. "That's a beautiful leaf, Lily. You are very smart." + +Tom and Lily were happy that mom liked their leaves. They hugged mom back and said, "We love you, mom." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Tom and Lily. You are my crazy kids." +Tom and Sue were playing with their toy cars in the yard. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. But they were getting bored of the same old games. + +"Let's do something new," Tom said. "Let's load our cars on the big truck and take them to the park." + +"OK," Sue said. "That sounds fun. How do we load them?" + +Tom pointed to the truck. It had a ramp and a motor. "We push the button and the ramp goes down. Then we drive our cars up the ramp and into the truck. Then we push the button again and the ramp goes up. Then we turn on the motor and the truck goes vroom." + +They did what Tom said. They loaded their cars on the truck. They pushed the buttons. They turned on the motor. They were ready to go to the park. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was Mom. She came out of the house and saw them. + +"Tom! Sue! What are you doing?" she asked. "That's not your truck. That's Dad's truck. He needs it for work. You can't play with it. You have to unload it right now." + +Tom and Sue looked at each other. They felt sad and sorry. They had to unload their cars from the truck. They had to push the buttons. They had to turn off the motor. They had to put their cars back in the yard. + +They had no fun at all. They wished they had played with their toy cars in the yard. It was not so boring after all. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big brush. The brush is flexible. They can bend it and twist it and make different shapes. + +One day, Sara and Tom are playing with the brush. Sara wants to make a circle with the brush. She bends the brush into a loop. Tom wants to make a snake with the brush. He twists the brush into a zigzag. They both pull the brush from each other. + +"Let go, Tom! I want to make a circle!" Sara says. + +"No, Sara! I want to make a snake!" Tom says. + +They pull harder and harder. The brush is flexible, but it is not strong. The brush breaks in half. Sara and Tom are sad. They look at the broken brush. + +"Oh no, we broke the brush!" Sara says. + +"It is our fault. We were not nice to each other." Tom says. + +They hug and say sorry. They pick up the pieces of the brush. They go to their mom and show her the brush. + +"Mom, we broke the brush. We are sorry." Sara and Tom say. + +Mom looks at the brush. She smiles and hugs them. + +"It is okay, Sara and Tom. I am glad you are sorry. The brush is flexible, but it is not magic. It can break if you pull it too hard. Next time, you can share the brush and take turns. Or you can use other toys to make circles and snakes." Mom says. + +Sara and Tom nod. They say thank you to mom. They go back to their room. They find other toys to play with. They are happy. They are flexible, too. +Lila and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big balloon. It was red and shiny. They wanted to touch it. + +"Look, a balloon!" Lila said. + +"Let's go and see it!" Tom said. + +They ran to the balloon. But when they got there, they saw a man. He was holding the balloon. He had a mean face. He was a thief. + +"Hey, that's our balloon!" Lila said. + +"No, it's mine!" the thief said. "I found it!" + +He pulled the balloon hard. It made a loud noise. POP! The balloon burst. The air came out. The balloon pieces fell to the ground. + +Lila and Tom were sad. They liked the balloon. They wanted to play with it. + +The thief was angry. He wanted the balloon. He wanted to sell it. + +He looked at Lila and Tom. They were different. They had kind faces. They had fun. + +He felt sorry. He did a bad thing. He hurt the balloon. He hurt Lila and Tom. + +He said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I should not take your balloon. Can you forgive me?" + +Lila and Tom looked at him. They were surprised. He was different. He had a sorry face. He had words. + +They said, "It's OK. We forgive you. But don't take things that are not yours. That's not nice." + +The thief nodded. He said, "Thank you. You are nice. You are friends." + +He smiled. He felt good. He learned a lesson. + +He said, "Can I play with you?" + +Lila and Tom said, "Yes, you can. Come on, let's play!" + +They ran to the swings. They had fun. They were happy. + +The balloon was gone. But they had something better. They had a new friend. +Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. Some are big and some are small. Some are red and some are blue. + +One day, they decide to play with their big truck. It is yellow and has a trailer. They put some cars and toys in the trailer. They pretend they are going to a far place. They make noises like a truck. + +"Vroom, vroom, beep, beep!" Sam says. He is the driver. He holds the truck in his hands. + +"Look, look, a gas station!" Tom says. He is the helper. He points to a toy house. "We need to get some fuel for our truck. It is almost empty." + +"OK, OK, let's go!" Sam says. He drives the truck to the toy house. He stops the truck near the house. He looks for a hose to fill the truck with fuel. He sees a long string on the floor. He thinks it is a hose. He picks it up and puts it in the truck. + +"Wait, wait, that is not a hose!" Tom says. He sees that the string is not a hose. It is a cord. It is connected to a lamp. "That is a cord for the lamp. You need to remove it. It is not fuel. It is electricity." + +"Oops, oops, sorry, sorry!" Sam says. He removes the cord from the truck. He puts it back on the floor. He looks for a real hose. He finds one in a box. He takes it out and fills the truck with fuel. + +"There, there, now we have fuel!" Sam says. He smiles. He is glad. He drives the truck away from the toy house. + +"Yay, yay, we can go now!" Tom says. He claps. He is glad too. He sits in the trailer with the cars and toys. He waves to the toy house. + +"Bye, bye, gas station!" Sam and Tom say. They continue their journey. They have fun with their big truck. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a big ball that they could kick and throw. Sometimes they shared the ball, and sometimes they fought over it. + +One day, Tom had the ball and he did not want to give it to Lily. He ran away from her and teased her. He said, "You are too slow, you can't catch me. The ball is mine, mine, mine!" + +Lily felt angry and sad. She wanted to play with the ball too. She chased Tom and tried to grab the ball. But Tom was faster and he dodged her. He laughed and teased her more. He said, "You are too weak, you can't take the ball. The ball is mine, mine, mine!" + +Lily stopped and cried. She said, "You are mean, you don't share. The ball is ours, ours, ours!" + +Tom saw Lily crying and he felt sorry. He realized he was being mean and he did not like it. He stopped and walked back to Lily. He said, "I'm sorry, I was mean. You are right, the ball is ours, ours, ours. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily looked at Tom and wiped her tears. She said, "Yes, I want to play with you. But you have to share and be nice." + +Tom nodded and smiled. He said, "OK, I will share and be nice. You are my sister and I love you." + +They hugged and made up. Then they played with the ball together. They kicked and threw the ball and had fun. They did not tease or fight anymore. + +The park was not empty and silent. It was full of laughter and joy. Tom and Lily were happy. +Anna and Ben were playing with their dolls in the garden. They liked to pretend that their dolls could talk and do magic. Anna had a pink doll with a shiny dress and a wand. Ben had a blue doll with a cape and a hat. + +"Let's make a magic show for Mommy and Daddy!" Anna said. "We can use our dolls to do tricks!" + +"Okay!" Ben said. "But we have to practice first. Magic is hard!" + +They went to a corner of the garden and tried to make their dolls do magic. Anna waved her wand and said, "Doll, make a flower grow!" But nothing happened. Ben tapped his hat and said, "Doll, pull out a rabbit!" But nothing happened. + +They tried again and again, but their dolls did not do any magic. They felt sad and frustrated. + +"Maybe our dolls are broken," Anna said. "We need to fix them!" + +"How can we fix them?" Ben asked. + +Anna thought for a moment. Then she had an idea. She ran to the shed and came back with some glue and glitter. + +"Look!" she said. "We can put some glue and glitter on our dolls. Maybe that will make them more magical!" + +Ben liked the idea. He helped Anna to put some glue and glitter on their dolls. They made them sparkle and shine. + +"Now they look more magical!" Anna said. "Let's try again!" + +They went back to the corner and tried to do magic again. This time, something happened. Anna waved her wand and a flower grew out of the ground. Ben tapped his hat and a rabbit popped out. + +"Wow!" they both said. "It worked! Our dolls can do magic!" + +They were so happy and excited. They ran to their parents and said, "Mommy, Daddy, come and see! We have a magic show for you!" + +Mommy and Daddy followed them to the corner. They saw the flower and the rabbit. They smiled and clapped. + +"That's amazing!" Mommy said. "How did you do that?" + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They felt embarrassed. They did not want to tell their parents that they had put glue and glitter on their dolls. + +They whispered to each other, "Should we tell them?" + +"No, let's keep it a secret," they said. + +They smiled and said, "It's a magic secret. We can't tell you. But we can show you more tricks!" + +They did more tricks with their dolls. They made a ball bounce, a bird sing, and a rainbow appear. Mommy and Daddy watched and cheered. They did not notice the glue and glitter on the dolls. They thought their children were very clever and creative. + +Anna and Ben felt proud and happy. They had fixed their dolls and made a magic show. They had a lot of fun. They decided to keep their magic secret and play with their dolls every day. +Lily and Ben are twins.

They do not have enough pins. Lily says, "I need more red pins for my flower." Ben says, "I need more blue pins for my car." They look at each other's picture. They see that Lily has more red pins than Ben. Ben has more blue pins than Lily. + +Lily says, "That is not fair. You have too many blue pins. Give me some blue pins." Ben says, "That is not fair. You have too many red pins. Give me some red pins." They start to pull each other's pins. They make a big mess. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the board with pins everywhere. She sees Lily and Ben crying. She says, "What happened? Why are you fighting?" + +Lily and Ben tell Mom their problem. Mom says, "You do not have to fight. You can share your pins. You can make a flower and a car together. You can use red pins and blue pins and yellow pins and green pins. You can make a beautiful picture with pins." + +Lily and Ben listen to Mom. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben." They hug each other. They start to work on their picture again. They share their pins. They make a flower and a car together. They use red pins and blue pins and yellow pins and green pins. They make a beautiful picture with pins. + +Mom smiles. She says, "Well done, Lily and Ben. You are good twins. You can play with pins. But be careful. Do not hurt yourself with pins. Pins are sharp." Lily and Ben say, "OK, Mom. We will be careful. We love you, Mom. We love pins." +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with a sign. The sign says "Serve Peace". Sara and Tom are curious. They want to know what "serve peace" means. + +They go to the truck and ask the man inside. The man is wearing a white apron and a hat. He smiles and says, "Hello, kids. I serve peace by making food for people who are hungry. Do you want to try some?" + +Sara and Tom nod. They are hungry too. The man gives them each a bowl of soup and a slice of bread. The soup is hot and tasty. The bread is soft and fresh. Sara and Tom say, "Thank you, mister. This is very good." + +The man says, "You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you like it. You know, peace is when people are kind and share with each other. When people are not kind and fight with each other, that is not peace. That is war. War is bad. War makes people sad and hurt. War makes everything dirty and broken. That is why I serve peace. I want to help people who are sad and hurt. I want to make everything clean and whole." + +Sara and Tom think about what the man says. They look around the park. They see some kids playing with a ball. They see some kids building a sandcastle. They see some kids drawing with chalk. They see some kids fighting over a toy. They see some kids throwing trash on the ground. + +Sara and Tom decide to serve peace too.

Timmy got scared and tried to run away, but he tripped and fell. The dog took Timmy's jacket and ran away with it. Timmy was very sad because he loved that jacket. + +When Timmy went back inside, his mommy asked him where his jacket was. Timmy didn't know what to do because he lost it.

Lily's little brother wanted a big ice cream cone, but their mom said no because it was too much. Lily's brother started crying and being bossy.

But the man held Timmy's hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't let go. You can trust me." + +After that, the man took Timmy to his office. The office was very tidy and neat. The man said, "Timmy, do you like my office?" Timmy said, "Yes, it's very tidy." The man smiled and said, "Thank you, Timmy. You are a good friend." + +From that day on, Timmy and the man became good friends.

But one day, Lily's mommy got worried because there was a big storm coming. She was scared that the wind and rain might hurt the flowers in their garden. + +Lily didn't want her mommy to be worried, so she decided to prevent the storm from coming.

The sun came out and the flowers were safe. + +Lily's mommy was so happy and proud of her little girl. She gave her a big hug and said, "You are so powerful, Lily!
