"The farmer has been painting over there - I think it will keep us warm." + +Jade didn't feel any warmer, so she decided to go and take a look. When she got there, she saw that the wall was now covered with thick, colourful paint. Jade smiled.

After a few seconds, the little girl seemed disappointed. She said, "This isn't working. The blocks don't fit together". + +Mommy then laughed and said , "That's ok. Let's try this. Instead of trying to make the blocks fit, why don't you rock them?". + +The little girl was pleased with this idea.

Ben says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend." He runs to the pitch. The pitch is a big green space where people play soccer. Ben kicks the ball hard. It flies in the air. + +Anna watches Ben. She is happy that he likes her ball. But she also wants to play with it. She is independent. She can do things by herself. She does not need to wait for Ben. She finds a stick. She draws a circle on the ground. She says, "This is my goal. I can score with the stick." She pretends that the stick is a ball. She kicks it with her foot. It rolls into the circle. She says, "Yay, I scored!" + +Ben sees Anna. He is done with the ball. He says, "Anna, do you want your ball back? I had fun with it. But you can have it now." He brings the ball to Anna. Anna says, "Yes, please. I want my ball back. I had fun with the stick. But I like my ball more." She takes the ball from Ben. Ben says, "You are welcome, Anna. You are a good friend." He picks up the stick. He says, "Can I play with your stick? It looks fun." Anna says, "OK, but only for a little bit. It is my stick. I found it in the park." She lends the stick to Ben. They smile at each other. They are happy. They are friends. They share their toys. +Sam and Mia liked to play in the park. They had a toy boat that they could sail in the pond. They ran to the pond with their boat and put it in the water. They watched it sail away and back. They took turns to blow on the sail and make it go faster. + +"Look, Mia, our boat is so fast!" Sam said. + +"Yes, Sam, it is. It is fun to sail it!" Mia said. + +They played with their boat for a long time. They saw ducks and fish and frogs in the pond. They waved to them and said hello. They laughed and had fun. + +But then they started to feel tired. They had run and played a lot. They felt hot and thirsty. They wanted to rest. + +"Sam, I am tired. Can we go and sit on the grass?" Mia asked. + +"OK, Mia. Me too. Let's go and sit on the grass," Sam agreed. + +They took their boat out of the water and carried it to the grass. They found a shady spot under a big tree. They sat on the grass and leaned on the tree. They drank some water from their bottles. They felt cool and calm. + +They looked at their boat and smiled. They had a good time sailing it. They hugged their boat and each other. They closed their eyes and rested. They were happy. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red and yellow apples. Sara and Tom want to eat some apples. + +"Let's pick some apples!" Sara says. "They look yummy!" + +"OK!" Tom says. "But how can we reach them? They are too high!" + +Sara has an idea. She sees a big stick on the ground. She picks it up and gives it to Tom. + +"Here, Tom. You can use this stick to knock down some apples." + +Tom takes the stick and swings it at the tree. He hits some apples and they fall to the ground. + +"Wow, good job, Tom!" Sara says. "Now we have some apples to eat!" + +Sara and Tom pick up the apples and bite into them. They are sweet and juicy. Sara and Tom smile and laugh. They are jolly. + +"Thank you, Sara, for the stick!" Tom says. + +"Thank you, Tom, for the apples!" Sara says. + +Sara and Tom share the apples and enjoy their snack. They are happy and full. They hug each other and say: + +"We are the best friends!" +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were knights and princesses. They had a big box that was their castle. They had a stick that was their sword. + +One day, they saw a shiny thing under a bush. They ran to see what it was. It was a real sword! It had a metal blade and a leather handle. It looked very old and cool. + +"Wow!" Ben said. "A real sword! Can I hold it?" + +"Be careful!" Lily said. "It might be sharp. And it might belong to someone. Maybe it is a magic sword." + +Ben did not listen. He reached for the sword. He wanted to feel how heavy it was. He wanted to swing it like a knight. + +But when he touched the sword, something happened. The sword made a loud noise. It sounded like a lion. The sword opened its mouth and showed its teeth. It was not a sword. It was a sword-lion! + +"Help!" Ben shouted. "It is a sword-lion! It is going to bite me!" + +Lily was scared too. But she was brave. She grabbed the stick. She ran to Ben. She hit the sword-lion with the stick. The sword-lion let go of Ben. It ran away into the bush. + +Ben and Lily hugged each other. They were safe. They were glad they had each other. + +They decided to never touch the sword-lion again. They went back to their box. They played with their stick. They had fun. They were happy. +Cora likes to sit on the copper bench in the park. It is shiny and warm and makes her feel happy. She likes to watch the birds and the dogs and the people who walk by. Sometimes she talks to them and they smile at her. She is very popular. + +One day, she sees a boy who is sad. He sits on the grass and cries. He has no friends and no toys. Cora feels sorry for him. She walks to him and says, "Hi, I am Cora. Do you want to sit with me on the copper bench?" + +The boy looks at her and wipes his tears. He says, "Hi, I am Leo. Thank you, but I don't think I can sit on the copper bench. It is too high for me. I am very small." + +Cora thinks for a moment. She has an idea. She says, "Don't worry, I can help you. I have a stool. You can use it to sit on the copper bench. Then we can be friends and play together. Do you like that?" + +Leo nods and smiles. He says, "Yes, I like that very much. You are very kind and nice. Can I hug you?" + +Cora hugs him and says, "Of course, you can. You are my new friend. Come on, let's go to the copper bench. It is waiting for us." + +They hold hands and walk to the copper bench. They use the stool to sit on it. They share their snacks and stories and laughs. They have a lot of fun. They are very happy. They are very popular. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big, shiny car with a lot of buttons and lights. They ran to the car and looked inside. + +"Wow, this is a modern car!" Lily said. "It has a screen and a phone and a camera!" + +Tom nodded. He liked the car too. He saw a wallet on the seat. He opened it and found some money. He took the money and put it in his pocket. + +"Look, Lily, I have money!" Tom said. "We can buy ice cream and toys and candy!" + +Lily frowned. She knew that taking money was wrong. She remembered what her mom had told her. + +"Tom, that is not your money. That is someone else's money. You have to give it back. It is not nice to take things that are not yours." Lily said. + +Tom did not want to give the money back. He wanted to keep it and buy things. He said no to Lily. + +"But I want the money. It is mine now. I found it. You are not my boss." Tom said. + +Lily was sad and angry. She did not like Tom's words. She did not want to play with him anymore. She ran away from the car and looked for her mom. + +"Mom, mom, where are you?" Lily cried. "Tom took someone's money and he is not nice. I want to go home." + +Her mom heard her and came to her. She hugged her and asked her what happened. Lily told her everything. + +Her mom was proud of Lily. She said she did the right thing. She said they would find the owner of the car and the money and say sorry. + +"Thank you, Lily, for being honest and kind. You are a good girl. I love you." Her mom said. + +Lily smiled. She felt better. She loved her mom too. She did not care about the money or the car. She only wanted to be with her mom. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Can we look in the hole, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't go too far inside," mom said. + +Lily and Ben went to the tree and peeked in the hole. They saw something shiny. It was a key! + +"Wow, a key! I wonder what it opens," Ben said. + +"Maybe it's a magic key. Maybe it opens a secret door," Lily said. + +They took the key and tried to find a door. They looked behind the bushes, under the bench, and on the slide. But they could not find a door. + +"Where is the door? Where is the door?" they asked. + +But no one answered. + +Mom saw them running around with the key. She was worried. + +"Where did you get that key, Lily and Ben?" she asked. + +"We found it in the tree, mom. It's a magic key. We are looking for the door," Lily and Ben said. + +Mom looked at the key. She recognized it. It was her car key! + +"Oh no, that's not a magic key. That's my car key. I must have dropped it in the tree when I was looking for my phone. We need to put it back, or we can't go home," mom said. + +Lily and Ben were surprised. They did not know it was mom's car key. They thought it was a magic key. + +"Sorry, mom. We didn't know. We thought it was a magic key," Lily and Ben said. + +They gave the key back to mom. Mom thanked them and hugged them. + +"It's okay, Lily and Ben. I'm glad you found it. But next time, don't take things that don't belong to you. And always ask me before you explore new places," mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They were happy to have mom's car key back. They were also happy to have mom. She was the best mom in the world. +Lily and Tom liked to read books. They had many books with pictures and words. They read about animals, cars, stars, and more. Sometimes they read alone, and sometimes they read together. + +One day, they decided to read on the hill. The hill was big and green, and had flowers and trees. They took a basket with books and snacks, and walked to the hill. They found a nice spot under a yellow tree. The tree had yellow leaves that looked like gold. + +They opened their books and started to read. Lily read a book about a princess and a dragon. Tom read a book about a pirate and a treasure. They read and read, and forgot about the time. They were happy and curious. + +"Look, Lily, this pirate has a map and a parrot!" Tom said, showing his book to Lily. + +"Wow, that's cool, Tom. And look, this princess has a sword and a horse!" Lily said, showing her book to Tom. + +They smiled and swapped their books. They wanted to read each other's stories. They read and read, and learned new things. They had fun on the hill. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They enjoy the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They also like to chase the birds and the squirrels. + +One day, they see a big cage in the park. Inside the cage, there is a rabbit. The rabbit is white and fluffy. It looks sad and scared. Sara and Tom want to help the rabbit. + +"Let's open the cage and let the rabbit out," Sara says. + +"OK, but we have to be quick and quiet," Tom says. + +They look around and see no one. They run to the cage and pull the door. The door is not locked. It opens easily. The rabbit sees the door and hops out. It runs to Sara and Tom and sniffs them. They pet the rabbit and smile. + +"Hello, rabbit. You are free now. You can go wherever you want," Sara says. + +The rabbit wiggles its nose and ears. It looks happy and grateful. It jumps and runs to the grass. It finds some carrots and nibbles them. It looks at Sara and Tom and makes a soft sound. + +"Bye, rabbit. Have fun. Be careful," Tom says. + +Sara and Tom wave to the rabbit. They feel good. They helped the rabbit escape. They go back to their games. The sky is clear and blue. The sun is warm and bright. They have a wonderful day. +Lily and Tom were going to the park with Mom. They put on their coats and shoes and got ready to go. But when they opened the door, they saw a big truck outside. The truck was making a lot of noise and blocking the road. + +"Sorry, kids, we have to delay our trip," Mom said. "The truck is fixing the pipes under the street. We can't go past it." + +Lily and Tom were sad. They wanted to play on the swings and the slide. They did not want to wait for the truck. + +"Can we do something else, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, we can," Mom said. "How about we tidy up your room? It's very messy and you have a lot of toys to put away." + +Lily and Tom did not like that idea. They did not like to tidy up. They liked to make a mess. + +"No, Mom, we don't want to tidy up," Tom said. "We want to go to the park." + +Mom smiled. She had another idea. + +"Okay, how about we play a game?" she said. "We can pretend that your room is the park. You can use your toys as the swings and the slide. And I can be the duck that quacks at the pond." + +Lily and Tom liked that idea. They thought it was fun. They ran to their room and started to play. They used their stuffed animals as the swings and the slide. They made quacking noises and threw pillows as the bread. And Mom joined them and pretended to be the duck. + +They had so much fun that they forgot about the truck. They also forgot about the mess. They played until the truck was gone and the road was clear. + +"Look, kids, the truck is gone," Mom said. "We can go to the park now." + +Lily and Tom were happy. They grabbed their coats and shoes and followed Mom. But before they left, they looked at their room. It was very tidy. They had put away all their toys and pillows. + +"Wow, Mom, we tidied up our room," Lily said. + +"Yes, you did," Mom said. "And you had fun, too. You are very clever and creative." + +Lily and Tom smiled. They felt proud. They hugged Mom and thanked her for the game. Then they went to the park and had more fun. +Lily was a baby who liked to eat. She ate milk, cereal, fruit, and sometimes cookies. She ate with her mouth, her hands, and sometimes her feet. She ate in her high chair, on the floor, and sometimes in her crib. + +One day, Lily was in her crib and she was hungry. She saw a teddy bear on the shelf. She thought it looked yummy. She reached for the teddy bear, but it was too far. She cried and cried. She wanted to eat the teddy bear. + +Mommy heard Lily crying. She came to the crib and saw Lily reaching for the teddy bear. She smiled and said, "Lily, you can't eat the teddy bear. It's not food. It's a toy. You can hug it and play with it, but you can't eat it." + +She picked up Lily and gave her a kiss. She said, "Do you want some real food? I have some available. How about some yogurt and banana?" Lily nodded and smiled. She liked yogurt and banana. She said, "Yes, please. Yummy, yummy." + +Mommy took Lily to the kitchen and gave her some yogurt and banana. Lily ate with her mouth and her hands. She was happy and full. She said, "Thank you, Mommy. I love you." Mommy said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good eater." She hugged Lily and took her back to the crib. She gave her the teddy bear and said, "Here, you can have the teddy bear. But remember, don't eat it. Just hug it and play with it." Lily nodded and hugged the teddy bear. She said, "Okay, Mommy. I won't eat it. I will hug it and play with it." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. +Anna loved to help her mom in the garden. She liked to dig, water, and plant seeds. She wanted to see the flowers bloom. Mom said they would bloom in the spring, when the sun was warm and the rain was gentle. + +One evening, Anna went to the garden with mom. She saw something new. There were pink and yellow and purple flowers on the plants. They were so pretty and bright. Anna was very happy. She said, "Mom, look! The flowers bloomed! They bloomed!" + +Mom smiled and hugged Anna. She said, "Yes, they did. They bloomed because you took good care of them. You are a great gardener, Anna. I am very proud of you." + +Anna felt warm and proud. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you and I love the flowers. Can we pick some and put them in a vase?" + +Mom said, "Of course we can. Let's do that. Then we can enjoy them in the house, too." + +Anna and mom picked some flowers and put them in a vase. They carried the vase to the kitchen and put it on the table. The flowers made the kitchen look bright and happy. Anna and mom smiled at each other. They had a lovely evening. +Ben was restless. He did not want to sit and eat his pasta with sauce. He wanted to play with his cars and trucks. He pushed his plate away and said, "No, thank you, Mommy. I am not hungry." + +Mommy was not happy. She said, "Ben, you have to eat your dinner. Pasta with sauce is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy. And you have to wash your hands and face before you play. They are sticky and dirty from the sauce." + +Ben did not listen. He jumped off his chair and ran to his room. He grabbed his favorite truck and zoomed it around the floor. He made loud noises with his mouth. He pretended his truck was driving through mud and rocks and water. + +Mommy followed him. She saw the sauce on his hands and face and on his truck. She said, "Ben, look what you did! You made a mess with your sauce. You have to wash your truck and yourself right now. Or you will not have any dessert." + +Ben did not want to wash his truck. He loved his truck. He did not want to make it wet. He said, "No, Mommy. Please, no. My truck is fine. It is not dirty. It is fun." + +Mommy shook her head. She said, "Ben, you have to learn to be clean and polite. You have to do what I say. Or you will have a time-out. Come on, let's go to the bathroom and wash your truck and yourself. Then we can have some ice cream." + +Ben did not like time-outs. He did not want to miss his ice cream. He sighed. He said, "Okay, Mommy. I am sorry. I will wash my truck and myself. But can I play with it again after?" + +Mommy smiled. She said, "Yes, you can. But only after you eat your dinner and wash your hands and face again. Deal?" + +Ben nodded. He said, "Deal." He took his truck and followed Mommy to the bathroom. He hoped the water would not hurt his truck. He hoped the ice cream would be chocolate. He was still restless. But he wanted to make Mommy happy. +Ben and Lily liked to watch fireworks. They liked the bright colors and loud noises in the sky. They went with Mom and Dad to the park on a special night. There were many people and many fireworks. + +"Wow, look at that one!" Ben said, pointing at a big red firework. "It looks like a flower!" + +"I like that one too!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "And that one! And that one!" She pointed at a blue firework, a green firework, and a yellow firework. + +Mom and Dad smiled and hugged them. They were happy to see their children enjoy the fireworks. + +But then, something bad happened. A firework did not go up in the sky. It stayed on the ground and made a loud boom. It scared Ben and Lily and many other people. Some people ran away. Some people screamed. Some people cried. + +"Mom, Dad, what is that?" Ben asked, holding Mom's hand. + +"It's okay, Ben. It's just a firework that didn't work right. It's not going to hurt us. We just have to be careful and stay away from it," Mom said, trying to calm him down. + +"Can we go home, please?" Lily asked, holding Dad's hand. + +"Yes, Lily. We can go home. The fireworks are over anyway. Let's return to the car and go home," Dad said, leading them to the parking lot. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They were sad that the fireworks ended so soon. But they were also glad to go home. They felt safe and warm in the car. They hugged Mom and Dad and said thank you for taking them to the park. They hoped to see fireworks again, but only the ones that go up in the sky. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun until Ben saw Sara's doll and wanted it. + +"Give me your doll!" Ben said to Sara. He tried to grab it from her hands. + +"No, it's mine!" Sara said. She held her doll tight. "You have your car, play with that!" + +Ben did not listen. He pulled harder and harder. Sara screamed and cried. The doll was delicate and Ben was hurting it. + +"Stop it, Ben!" Mom came and saw what was happening. She was angry. "You cannot demand Sara's doll. That is not nice. You have to ask and share." + +Mom took the doll from Ben and gave it back to Sara. She hugged Sara and checked if the doll was okay. The doll had a tear in its dress and a scratch on its face. + +"I'm sorry, Sara," Mom said. "Your doll is hurt. We can fix it later. Do you want to put it in a cell for now?" + +"A cell?" Sara asked. She did not know what that was. + +"Yes, a cell. It is a small box with bars. It can keep your doll safe from Ben and other things. Do you want to see?" Mom said. + +Sara nodded. She was curious. Mom took her and Ben to the garage. There, she showed them a cell. It was a cage for a hamster. Mom opened the door and put the doll inside. + +"See? Now your doll is in a cell. No one can take it or hurt it. You can visit it anytime you want," Mom said. + +Sara smiled. She liked the cell. She thought it was cozy and cute. She thanked Mom and gave her a kiss. + +Ben looked at the cell. He felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt Sara's doll. He wanted to play with it, but he did not know how to ask. + +"Mom, can I say sorry to Sara and her doll?" Ben asked. + +Mom smiled. She was proud of Ben. He was learning to be kind. + +"Of course, Ben. That is very nice of you. Come, let's go and say sorry," Mom said. + +She took Ben and Sara to the cell. Ben said sorry to Sara and her doll. He gave them a hug. Sara forgave him. She said he could play with her doll sometimes, if he was gentle. + +They all smiled. They were happy. They learned to share and care. They played together with the doll and the car. They had fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes the ball would go too far and they had to run after it. + +One time, the ball went over the fence and landed in the street. Tom and Lily ran to the fence and looked at the ball. They wanted to get it back, but they knew they were not allowed to go in the street. + +"Who will get the ball?" Lily asked. + +"Not me," Tom said. "The street is not clean. It has dirt and cars and dogs. I don't want to get dirty or hurt." + +"Me neither," Lily said. "But we need the ball. It is our ball. We like it." + +They looked at each other and did not know what to do. Then they saw a man walking on the sidewalk. He had a big hat and a nice smile. He saw the ball and picked it up. + +"Hello, kids," he said. "Is this your ball?" + +"Yes, sir," Tom and Lily said. "Thank you for getting it." + +The man walked to the fence and gave the ball to Tom. He looked at them and said, "Do you know why you should not go in the street?" + +Tom and Lily shook their heads. They did not know. + +The man said, "The street is not a safe place for kids. There are many things that can hurt you or make you sick. The cars can hit you, the dogs can bite you, the dirt can make you dirty. You should always stay on the ground, where it is clean and green and soft. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. + +The man said, "Good. Now you can play with your ball, but be careful not to kick it too hard. And if it goes in the street again, ask an adult to help you. OK?" + +Tom and Lily said, "OK. Thank you, sir." + +The man said, "You're welcome. Have fun, kids." + +He waved and walked away. Tom and Lily waved back and smiled. They were happy to have their ball back. They played with it on the ground, where it was clean and safe. They did not kick it too hard. They had fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and make noise. They saw a big hole in the fence. They wanted to see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find something fun!" + +"OK, Ben!" Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Mommy and Daddy said we can't go too far." + +They crawled through the hole and saw a forest. It was green and brown and had many trees and animals. They heard birds and squirrels and bugs. They felt curious and excited. + +They walked into the forest and looked around. They saw flowers and mushrooms and nuts. They picked some and put them in their pockets. They saw a stream and a bridge. They crossed the bridge and splashed in the water. They saw a cave and a hill. They climbed the hill and peeked into the cave. + +They did not see the sun and the sky. They did not see the fence and the garden. They did not see Mommy and Daddy. They did not know that they were lost. + +They played for a long time. They got tired and hungry and thirsty. They got dirty and wet and cold. They wanted to go home. + +"Ben, I'm scared," Lily said. "Where are we? Where is Mommy and Daddy?" + +"I don't know, Lily," Ben said. "I think we disappeared. We have to find the way back." + +They held hands and walked back. They tried to remember where they came from. They looked for the hole and the fence. They did not find them. They got more scared and sad. + +They cried and shouted. They hoped that someone would hear them. They hoped that someone would find them. They hoped that they would not disappear forever. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. But their favorite thing was to watch the fountain. The fountain was big and shiny and made water go up and down in the air. Sometimes the water made rainbows and sometimes it made funny noises. + +One day, Lily and Tom saw a new thing near the fountain. It was a big, round, red ball. It looked like a toy, but it was very heavy and hard. Lily and Tom wanted to touch it and see what it was. But there was a sign that said "Do not touch". Lily and Tom did not know what the sign meant, but they thought it was not nice. + +"Who put this ball here?" Lily asked. "Why can't we touch it?" + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe it is a part of the fountain. Maybe it makes the water go up and down." + +"Let's find out," Lily said. She was very nosy and curious. She walked to the ball and put her hand on it. It was cold and smooth. + +"Be careful, Lily," Tom said. He was a little scared. He followed Lily and touched the ball too. + +Suddenly, the ball moved. It made a loud beep and rolled away from them. Lily and Tom were surprised and fell down. The ball rolled to the fountain and jumped into the water. The water splashed everywhere and the fountain stopped working. + +Lily and Tom got up and ran away. They were wet and scared. They did not like the ball anymore. They did not want to play near the fountain anymore. + +"What was that?" Lily asked. "What did we do?" + +"I don't know," Tom said. "But I think we should not be nosy anymore. Let's go play somewhere else." +Lisa and Tom are friends. They like to sing and dance. They have a big toy microphone. They take turns to sing their favorite songs. + +One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big stage. There are many people there. They hear music and clapping. They want to see what is happening. + +They go closer to the stage. They see a man and a woman. They are singing and playing guitars. They are very good. They are attractive. Lisa and Tom like them. + +The man and the woman see Lisa and Tom. They smile and wave. They ask them if they want to join them. Lisa and Tom are happy. They nod and run to the stage. + +The man and the woman give them the microphone. They tell them to sing with them. They sing a song about friendship and love. They sing "unite, unite, we are stronger when we unite". The people in the park clap and cheer. Lisa and Tom feel proud and happy. They hug the man and the woman. They thank them for letting them sing. They make new friends. They have fun. +Ben and Mia like to play pretend. They have many toys and costumes. One day, they decide to play opera. Ben puts on a big hat and a coat. Mia wears a long dress and a scarf. They sing very loud and make funny faces. + +They have a lot of fun, but their mom is not happy. She is trying to work in the next room. She tells them to be quiet, but they do not listen. They sing louder and louder. Their mom gets angry. She goes to their room and strikes the door with her hand. "Stop that noise!" she says. "You are not opera singers, you are smelly monkeys!" + +Ben and Mia are scared. They stop singing and look at their mom. They see that she is very tired and stressed. They feel sorry for her. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We did not mean to bother you. We just wanted to have fun." + +Their mom sighs and hugs them. She says, "I know, my loves. I am sorry, too. I have a lot of work to do, and I need some peace and quiet. Why don't you play something else, something quieter?" + +Ben and Mia think for a moment. They look at their toys and costumes. They have an idea. They say, "We can play library. We can read books and whisper. Is that okay, mom?" + +Their mom smiles and nods. She says, "That sounds perfect. Thank you, my loves. You are very good and smart children. I love you very much." + +Ben and Mia smile and kiss their mom. They say, "We love you, too, mom. You are the best mom in the world." + +They put away their opera toys and costumes. They take out their books and glasses. They sit on the floor and pretend to be librarians. They read and whisper and have fun. Their mom goes back to her work and feels happy. They all have a good day. +Lily and Sam like to design kites. They use paper, sticks, glue and string. They make kites of different shapes and colors. They draw stars, flowers, animals and letters on their kites. + +One day, they go to the park with their kites. They find a big hill with a lot of wind. They run and let their kites fly high in the sky. They feel happy and proud of their kites. + +"Look at my kite, Lily!" Sam says. "It has a big S for Sam and a blue dragon on it!" + +"Wow, Sam, your kite is very cool!" Lily says. "My kite has a big L for Lily and a pink butterfly on it!" + +They watch their kites dance and swirl in the air. They laugh and cheer. + +But then, they see a big bird flying near their kites. The bird is black and has a sharp beak and claws. It looks hungry and angry. It wants to catch their kites. + +"Oh no, Lily, look out!" Sam says. "A bird is coming for our kites!" + +Lily and Sam are very alert. They pull their strings and try to move their kites away from the bird. They hope the bird will leave them alone. + +But the bird is fast and clever. It swoops and dives and tries to grab their kites. It almost gets Sam's kite, but Sam pulls it back just in time. It almost gets Lily's kite, but Lily dodges it with a quick turn. + +Lily and Sam are scared and worried. They don't want to lose their kites. They worked hard to design them. They love their kites. + +"Go away, bird, go away!" Lily and Sam shout. "These are our kites, not yours!" + +The bird does not listen. It keeps chasing their kites. It does not care about their shouts. + +Lily and Sam don't know what to do. They look at each other and have an idea. They decide to work together and trick the bird. + +They make their kites fly close to each other. They make them look like one big kite. They make them look like a tasty snack for the bird. + +The bird sees their kites and thinks it is lucky. It thinks it can catch two kites at once. It does not know it is a trap. + +It flies towards their kites with its beak open and its claws ready. It thinks it will have a good meal. + +But Lily and Sam are smarter than the bird. They wait until the bird is very close. Then they pull their strings hard and make their kites fly apart. They make their kites fly in opposite directions. + +The bird is confused and surprised. It misses their kites. It flies between them and gets tangled in their strings. It can't fly anymore. It falls to the ground with a thud. + +Lily and Sam are relieved and happy. They have saved their kites. They have outsmarted the bird. + +They run to their kites and untangle them from the strings. They check their kites and see they are not damaged. They hug their kites and each other. + +They look at the bird and see it is not hurt. It is just stuck and angry. It squawks and flaps its wings. It wants to get free. + +Lily and Sam feel sorry for the bird. They don't want to be mean to it. They decide to help it. + +They go to the bird and untie the strings from its wings and feet. They let the bird go. They hope it will learn its lesson and not bother them again. + +The bird flies away and does not say thank you. It does not look happy or grateful. It looks embarrassed and ashamed. + +Lily and Sam don't care. They are glad they have their kites. They are glad they have each other. + +They go back to the hill and fly their kites again. They have fun and enjoy the wind and the sun. + +They are the best kite designers and the best friends. +Lila and Sam were playing with shapes. They had a big box of shapes in different colors and sizes. They liked to make pictures and patterns with the shapes on the floor. + +"Look, I made a house!" Lila said, pointing to her shape picture. She used a square for the wall, a triangle for the roof, and a circle for the door. + +"That's a nice house, Lila!" Sam said, enthusiastic. "Can I make a house too?" + +"Sure, Sam, you can make a house too. There are more shapes in the box," Lila said, smiling. + +Sam took some shapes from the box and started to make his own house. He used a rectangle for the wall, a diamond for the roof, and a star for the door. + +"Look, I made a house too!" Sam said, proud. He showed his shape picture to Lila. + +"That's a different house, Sam!" Lila said, curious. "Why did you use a diamond and a star?" + +"Because I like diamonds and stars. They are shiny and pretty," Sam said, happy. + +"I like them too, Sam. They are shiny and pretty," Lila said, friendly. + +They both looked at their shape houses and smiled. They liked to play with shapes. They had fun making different pictures and patterns. They did not want to end their play. They wanted to make more shapes. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they also liked to find things. They looked for rocks, leaves and bugs. Sometimes they found hidden things, like a shiny coin or a pretty feather. + +One day, they saw a big sign on a tree. It had a picture of a dog and some words. Max could read some words, but not all. He read the sign to Lily. + +"Lost dog. His name is Spot. He is black and white. He is very friendly. If you find him, call this number. There is a reward." + +"What is a reward?" Lily asked. + +Max thought for a moment. He remembered that his mom gave him a reward when he cleaned his room. It was a sticker. + +"A reward is something good that you get when you do something good," he said. + +Lily nodded. She liked stickers. She wanted to find Spot and get a reward. + +They decided to look for Spot. They asked some people in the park if they saw him, but no one did. They walked around and called his name, but he did not come. They were about to give up, when they heard a bark. + +They followed the sound and found a hidden corner behind some bushes. There was Spot! He was wagging his tail and licking their faces. He was very happy to see them. + +They hugged him and checked his collar. It had the same number as the sign. They used Max's mom's phone to call it. A lady answered. She was Spot's owner. She was very worried and grateful. She said she would come to the park right away. + +Lily and Max waited with Spot. They played with him and gave him some water. Soon, the lady arrived. She thanked them and gave them a reward. It was not a sticker. It was a big box of cookies! + +Lily and Max were very surprised and happy. They shared the cookies with Spot and the lady. They made a new friend. They felt very proud. They liked to find things. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bike. It has a lock on it. Lily wants to ride the bike. + +"Let's take the bike," she says to Tom. "We can break the lock." + +Tom shakes his head. "No, Lily. That is bad. The bike is not ours. Someone will be sad if we take it." + +Lily does not listen. She finds a stick and hits the lock. The lock does not break. She hits it harder. The lock makes a loud noise. + +A fat man runs to the bike. He is angry. He is the owner of the bike. + +"Hey, you! Stop that! What are you doing to my bike?" he yells. + +Lily and Tom are scared. They drop the stick and run away. The fat man chases them. He is fast. + +"Come back here, you little thieves!" he shouts. + +Lily and Tom run to the park gate. They see their mom and dad. They run to them and hug them. + +"Mom, dad, help us! There is a fat man after us!" they cry. + +Mom and dad look at the fat man. He is still angry. He points at the bike. + +"They tried to take my bike! They hit the lock with a stick! They are bad kids!" he says. + +Mom and dad are shocked. They look at Lily and Tom. They are ashamed. + +"Is that true, Lily and Tom? Did you try to take his bike?" they ask. + +Lily and Tom nod. They are sorry. + +"We are sorry, sir. We are sorry, mom and dad. We made a mistake. We will not do it again," they say. + +The fat man calms down. He sees that they are sorry. He forgives them. + +"OK, OK. I forgive you. But don't ever try to take someone else's bike again. That is wrong. Do you understand?" he says. + +Lily and Tom understand. They say thank you and sorry again. They learn their lesson. They go home with mom and dad. They promise to be good. They never try to take someone else's bike again. +Yesterday, Anna and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big slide that was smooth and shiny. Anna wanted to go first, but Ben said no. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. Anna was mad and followed him. + +"Ben, wait for me!" Anna shouted. "It is my turn!" + +But Ben did not listen. He slid down the slide very fast. He was happy and laughed. He did not see a rock at the end of the slide. He stumbled on the rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and cried. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Anna asked. She ran to him and hugged him. She saw blood on his knee and felt sorry for him. + +Mom heard Ben cry and came to them. She took a band-aid from her bag and put it on Ben's knee. She kissed him and said, "It is okay, Ben. It will get better soon. Next time, be careful and share the slide with Anna." + +Ben nodded and said, "I am sorry, Anna. I was mean to you. Do you want to go on the slide again?" + +Anna smiled and said, "Yes, I do. But let's go together. It will be more fun." + +They held hands and climbed up the ladder. They slid down the slide together and laughed. They did not stumble on the rock. They had a good time at the park. Mom was proud of them. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park with their kites. They liked to run and watch their kites fly high in the sky. They had colorful kites with long tails that made them look graceful. + +"Look at my kite, Sara!" Ben said. "It is red and yellow and has a big star on it!" + +"Wow, your kite is very pretty, Ben!" Sara said. "But my kite is blue and green and has a big heart on it!" + +They laughed and ran some more, holding their kites. But then, a strong wind came and blew their kites away. They tried to hold on, but the wind was too strong. They had to release their kites and watch them fly away. + +"Oh no, our kites!" Sara cried. "They are gone!" + +Ben hugged Sara and said, "Don't be sad, Sara. We can make new kites. We still have our clothes and our shoes and our hats. And we still have each other!" + +Sara smiled and said, "You are right, Ben. We are still friends. And we can still play in the park. Maybe we can find our kites later. Or maybe someone else will find them and be happy." + +They dried their tears and went to play on the swings. They still had fun, even without their kites. They were happy and grateful. +Lily was a humble girl who liked to help her mom with the infant. She would sing to him, feed him, and change his diaper. She loved her little brother very much. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the park with the infant. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Lily wanted to play on the slide, but her mom said she had to watch the infant first. + +Lily sat on a bench with the infant and gave him a toy. She looked at the slide and wished she could go on it. She saw other kids having fun and sliding down. + +Suddenly, she heard a loud yell. She turned around and saw a boy who was bigger than her. He had taken the infant's toy and was running away with it. The infant started to cry. + +Lily felt angry and scared. She yelled back at the boy. "Hey, give that back! That is not yours, that is my brother's! You are mean and bad!" + +The boy stopped and looked at Lily. He saw that she was brave and fierce. He felt ashamed and sorry. He came back and gave the toy to Lily. He said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Here, take it. You are a good sister and a good helper." + +Lily took the toy and hugged the infant. She said, "Thank you, I forgive you. Next time, ask before you take something. Maybe we can share and play together." + +The boy nodded and smiled. He said, "Okay, I will. Maybe we can be friends." + +Lily and the boy went to the slide and took turns. The infant stopped crying and watched them. Lily's mom was proud and happy. She said, "Lily, you are a humble and kind girl. You stood up for your brother and made a new friend. I love you very much." +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big sign near the swings. The sign had many words and pictures on it. + +"What does the sign say?" Lily asked Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe it tells us something fun," Tom said. He wanted to read the sign, but it was too high for him. He had an idea. He ran to the swings and grabbed a rope. He tied the rope to the sign and pulled hard. + +"Help me, Lily! Pull the rope with me!" Tom shouted. + +Lily ran to Tom and helped him pull the rope. The sign started to move. It came down slowly. Lily and Tom were happy. They could see the sign now. + +But the sign was not fun. It said: "Danger! Do not touch! Rare birds nesting here!" + +Lily and Tom felt bad. They did not want to hurt the birds. They untied the rope and put the sign back up. They said sorry to the sign and the birds. + +"Let's go play somewhere else," Lily said. + +"OK. But next time, let's ask a grown-up before we pull a sign," Tom said. + +They learned their lesson. They ran to the slide and had fun. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park, draw pictures and read books. One day, Lily had a great idea. She said to Tom, "Let's invite our teddy bears to a tea party!" + +Tom nodded and smiled. He loved tea parties. He ran to his room and got his teddy bear, Sam. Lily ran to her room and got her teddy bear, Daisy. They met in the living room, where Lily had set up a small table and chairs. She had also found a big sheet and draped it over the couch to make a tent. + +They put their teddy bears on the chairs and gave them cups and plates. They pretended to pour tea and serve cookies. They talked to their teddy bears and made them talk back. They had a lot of fun. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar outside. They looked out the window and saw a mighty lion. It had escaped from the zoo and was walking down the street. They were scared and hid under the sheet. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. "There is a lion outside!" + +Their mom heard them and came to the living room. She saw the sheet and lifted it up. She saw Lily and Tom and their teddy bears. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my darlings. The lion is not real. It is just a man in a costume. He is part of a parade that is going to the park. He is not going to hurt you." + +Lily and Tom peeked out the window again. They saw that their mom was right. The lion was not real. It was a man in a costume. He was waving and smiling. Behind him, there were other people in costumes and floats and balloons. They were part of a parade that was going to the park. + +Lily and Tom felt relieved and happy. They said to their mom, "Can we go to the park and see the parade?" + +Their mom said, "Of course, you can. But first, let's invite the lion to join our tea party. He looks like he could use a cookie." + +Lily and Tom agreed. They waved to the lion and said, "Hello, Mr. Lion. Do you want to come to our tea party? We have tea and cookies and teddy bears." + +The lion nodded and smiled. He came to their door and said, "Thank you, Lily and Tom. I would love to come to your tea party. You are very kind and brave." + +They welcomed the lion to their living room and gave him a chair and a cup and a plate. They poured him tea and served him cookies. They talked to him and made him talk to their teddy bears. They had a lot of fun. +Tom and Anna like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They throw the ball to each other and run after the kite. They are happy. + +One day, they see a big animal in the park. It has orange and black fur and sharp teeth. It is a tiger. Tom and Anna are scared. They do not know the tiger. It is unknown to them. + +"Run, Anna, run!" Tom says. He picks up the ball and throws it at the tiger. The tiger roars and chases the ball. Tom and Anna run to their mom and dad. They hug them and tell them about the tiger. + +Mom and dad are surprised. They look at the park and see the tiger. It is not a real tiger. It is a toy tiger. Someone left it in the park. Mom and dad laugh and explain to Tom and Anna that it is not a scary animal. It is a fun toy. + +Tom and Anna feel silly. They laugh too. They go back to the park and play with the toy tiger. They throw the ball and the kite and the tiger. They are happy. +Sara and Ben like to play in the sandbox. They have shovels and buckets and toys. They make castles and roads and mountains with the sand. Sometimes they pretend they are pirates or explorers or kings and queens. + +One day, Sara finds a small box in the sandbox. She opens it and sees a shiny necklace inside. She thinks it is a treasure and puts it around her neck. She shows it to Ben and says, "Look what I found! It is mine!" + +Ben wants to see the necklace too. He thinks it is pretty and asks Sara to share it. He says, "Can I have a turn? Please, Sara, let me see it!" + +But Sara is stubborn. She does not want to share. She says, "No, Ben, it is mine! I found it first! Go away!" + +Ben is sad and angry. He thinks Sara is not nice. He wants to make her sorry. He sees a bag of powder on the ground. It is white and soft and smells good. It is flour that Mom left outside when she was baking. Ben has an idea. He takes the bag and sneaks behind Sara. He pours the powder over her head and says, "Ha! Take that, Sara!" + +Sara feels something cold and wet on her hair. She screams and drops the necklace. She is covered in white powder. She looks like a snowman. She is shocked and mad. She says, "Ben, you are mean! You ruined my treasure! I hate you!" + +Ben picks up the necklace and runs away. He thinks he is clever and funny. He says, "Too bad, Sara! Now it is mine! I will bury it and you will never find it!" + +Sara chases after Ben. She wants her necklace back. She says, "Give it back, Ben! Give it back!" + +They run and shout and fight. They do not see Mom coming. Mom sees them and is not happy. She says, "Stop, Sara and Ben! What are you doing? Why are you so dirty and noisy? Come here, both of you!" + +Sara and Ben stop and look at Mom. They are scared and sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We were playing and we found a necklace and we fought over it and we made a mess." + +Mom sees the necklace and the powder and the sandbox. She sighs and says, "Oh, Sara and Ben. You are both silly and stubborn. That necklace is not a treasure. It is a toy that I bought for you to share. And that powder is not for playing. It is for baking. And that sandbox is not for fighting. It is for having fun. Come on, let's go inside and clean up. And then we can talk about how to share and be nice." + +Sara and Ben follow Mom. They feel ashamed and sad. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We love you." + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "I love you too, Sara and Ben. But next time, please be more careful and kind." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has many boxes. The boxes have toys. + +"Wow, look at the truck!" Anna says. "It brings toys to the park!" + +"Maybe we can play with the toys," Ben says. "Let's go and see." + +They run to the truck. They see a man. The man is wearing a hat and a shirt. He is smiling. + +"Hello, kids," the man says. "Do you like toys?" + +"Yes, we do!" Anna and Ben say. + +"I have a surprise for you," the man says. "I am here to start a new toy library. You can borrow toys from me and play with them. Then you can bring them back and borrow other toys." + +"Really?" Anna and Ben say. "That sounds fun!" + +"Yes, really," the man says. "Come and see what I have. I have cars, dolls, puzzles, books, and more. You can choose one toy each for today." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They look at the boxes. They see many toys. They pick their favorite ones. + +"Thank you, mister," Anna says. She holds a doll. The doll has a dress and a hat. The doll is soft and comfortable. + +"You're welcome, Anna," the man says. He knows her name because she has a name tag. + +"Thank you, mister," Ben says. He holds a car. The car is red and shiny. The car can make noises and move. + +"You're welcome, Ben," the man says. He knows his name because he has a name tag. + +Anna and Ben hug the man. They say goodbye. They run to the playground. They play with their toys. They are happy. They like the toy library. They can't wait to come back. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to help their mom. One day, mom said, "We need to go to the store and buy some food. Can you help me carry the bags?" + +Tom and Lily said, "Yes, mom, we can help!" They put on their coats and shoes and followed mom to the car. They liked to go to the store and see all the different things. + +At the store, mom gave them each a small bag to hold. She said, "Stay close to me and don't run away." Tom and Lily nodded and walked with mom. They saw fruits, vegetables, bread, milk, eggs, and many other things. They also saw some people who worked at the store and some people who shopped like them. + +One of the people who shopped was an elderly lady. She had white hair and a cane. She looked nice, but she also looked sad. Tom and Lily saw her drop her purse and try to pick it up. But she was too slow and someone else grabbed her purse and ran away. The elderly lady cried, "Help! Help! My purse!" + +Tom and Lily heard her cry and felt sorry for her. They wanted to help her. They saw the person who took her purse run to the door. They dropped their bags and ran after him. They shouted, "Stop! Stop! Give back the purse!" + +The person who took the purse was surprised and scared. He saw Tom and Lily coming closer and closer. He saw a security guard at the door. He knew he was in trouble. He threw the purse on the floor and ran away. + +Tom and Lily picked up the purse and brought it back to the elderly lady. She was so happy and grateful. She said, "Thank you, thank you, you are very brave and kind. You saved my purse and my money. How can I thank you?" + +Tom and Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, we're glad we could help. We don't need anything, we just wanted to do the right thing." + +Mom came and hugged Tom and Lily. She said, "I'm so proud of you, you did a great job. You helped someone in need and you showed courage and honesty. You are my heroes." + +The elderly lady said, "They are my heroes too. They are wonderful children. You are a lucky mom." + +Mom said, "Thank you, you are very sweet. Can we help you with anything else?" + +The elderly lady said, "No, thank you, you have done enough. But can I give you a hug and a kiss?" + +Tom and Lily said, "Yes, please!" They hugged and kissed the elderly lady and she hugged and kissed them back. They felt happy and warm. + +They said goodbye to the elderly lady and went back to their bags. They finished their shopping and went back to the car. They told mom what they saw and what they did. Mom said, "You are amazing, I love you so much. You made someone's day better and you made me very happy." + +Tom and Lily said, "We love you too, mom. You make our days better and you make us very happy." + +They drove home and had a nice dinner. They told dad what happened at the store and he was very proud of them too. He said, "You are the best twins in the world. You have big hearts and good minds. You are my stars." + +Tom and Lily said, "We love you too, dad. You are the best dad in the world. You have a big heart and a good mind. You are our sun." + +They went to bed and had sweet dreams. They knew they had done something good and they felt good. They knew they had a loving family and they felt loved. They knew they had each other and they felt lucky. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to surf. They had a big house near the beach and many toys. They were wealthy, but they were not happy. They always fought over everything and never shared. + +One day, they went to surf with their dad. He gave them each a surfboard and said, "Be careful, there are sharks in the water. Don't go too far or too fast." + +Lily and Ben nodded, but they did not listen. They wanted to show off and have fun. They paddled out to the waves and tried to catch them. They did not see the big fin behind them. + +Suddenly, a shark came out of the water and bit Lily's surfboard. She screamed and fell into the water. Ben saw what happened and was scared. He paddled to her and helped her get back on his surfboard. + +"Are you okay?" he asked. + +"I'm okay, but my surfboard is gone. The shark ate it!" she said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry I was mean to you. I love you, you're my sister," he said. + +"I love you too, Ben. You're my brother," she said. + +They hugged and waited for their dad to come. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that surfboards and toys are not important. They learned that family and love are important. They learned to be happy with what they have. +Sam likes to jog with his dad. They jog in the park and see many things. They see birds, trees, flowers and dogs. Sam likes dogs. He wants to pet them, but dad says no. Some dogs are not nice, dad says. + +One day, they jog past a small house. A small dog runs out of the house. It barks at Sam and dad. Sam is scared. He hides behind dad. Dad stops and talks to the dog. He says, "Hello, dog. We are just jogging. We are not bad. Please be quiet." + +The dog stops barking. It wags its tail. It smells something good. It is steak. The people in the house are cooking steak. The dog likes steak. It runs back to the house. It hopes to get some steak. + +Sam and dad laugh. They are not scared anymore. They jog on. They are hungry too. They will have steak for dinner. Sam likes steak. He says, "Dad, can we jog again tomorrow?" + +Dad says, "Yes, Sam. We can jog again tomorrow. Maybe we will see the small dog again. Maybe it will be nice to us. Maybe it will share its steak with us." + +Sam smiles. He likes to jog with his dad. He likes to see many things. He likes dogs. He likes steak. He is happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play pretend. Today they pretend to have a shop. Anna is the shopkeeper and Ben is the customer. + +Anna has a big box. She puts some things in the box. She has a spoon, a hat, a ball and a jar of cream. She says, "This is my shop. I sell things here. Do you want to buy something?" + +Ben looks at the box. He sees the spoon, the hat, the ball and the jar of cream. He says, "I want to buy the cream. How much is it?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She says, "The cream is two coins. It is very good cream. You can put it on your face or your hands. It makes your skin soft and smooth." + +Ben nods. He says, "OK, I will buy the cream. Here are two coins." He gives Anna two coins. He takes the jar of cream. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good shopkeeper." + +Anna smiles. She says, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good customer. Do you want to buy something else?" + +Ben looks at the box again. He sees the spoon, the hat and the ball. He says, "No, thank you. I only want the cream. But maybe you can sell something to Tom. He is coming this way. He is very tall. He can reach the high things." + +Anna and Ben see Tom walking towards them. He is very tall. He is taller than Anna and Ben. He says, "Hello, Anna and Ben. What are you doing?" + +Anna and Ben say, "Hello, Tom. We are playing pretend. We have a shop. Do you want to see our shop?" + +Tom says, "Yes, I want to see your shop. Maybe I can find something I like." + +Anna and Ben show Tom their shop. They hope he will buy something. They wonder what he will choose. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the woods. One day, they saw a large cabin near the lake. They were curious and wanted to see inside. + +They walked to the cabin and saw a door. Tom tried to open it, but it was locked. He saw a window and climbed on a box to look inside. He saw a lot of things on a table: a shiny watch, a red hat, a big book, and a small box. + +"Wow, look at all these things!" Tom said to Lily. "Let's take some and play with them!" + +"No, Tom, that's bad!" Lily said. "We can't steal things that are not ours. Someone lives here and they will be sad and angry if we take their things." + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He broke the window with a stick and reached inside. He grabbed the shiny watch and the red hat and put them in his pocket. He also took the small box and opened it. Inside, he saw a shiny ring. + +"Look, Lily, a ring!" Tom said. "It's so pretty! I want to keep it!" + +Lily was scared and angry. She saw a car coming to the cabin. It was the owner of the cabin. He saw the broken window and heard the noise. + +"Hey, who's there?" he shouted. "What are you doing in my cabin?" + +Tom and Lily were caught. They were very sorry and ashamed. They gave back the things they stole and said they were sorry. The owner of the cabin was very mad, but he did not hurt them. He called their mom and dad and told them what happened. + +Tom and Lily learned a lesson. They never stole things again. They also never went to the cabin again. They played in the woods, but they respected other people's things. +Sara and Tom went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But their favorite was the otter. The otter was brown and furry, and it liked to swim and play in the water. + +"Look, the otter has a fish!" Sara said, pointing to the pool. The otter had caught a big fish with its teeth, and was holding it with its paws. It looked very happy and proud. + +"Wow, that fish must be tasty!" Tom said, licking his lips. He wished he could have a fish too, but Mom said they had to wait for lunch. + +The otter ate the fish in big bites, and then dived back into the water. It came up with another fish, and tossed it in the air. The fish sparkled in the sun, like a star. + +"Ooh, the fish glows!" Sara said, clapping her hands. She thought the fish was magic, and wanted to touch it. + +"No, Sara, the fish does not glow. It just shines because it is wet and the sun is bright," Mom said, holding Sara's hand. "You can't touch the fish, it belongs to the otter." + +The otter caught the fish again, and made a funny noise. It sounded like it was laughing. + +"Ha ha, the otter is funny!" Tom said, giggling. He liked the otter, and wanted to be its friend. + +"Maybe the otter is saying thank you for the fish," Dad said, smiling. "It is very smart and playful. Do you want to say hello to the otter?" + +Sara and Tom nodded, and waved to the otter. The otter waved back with its paw, and splashed them with water. Sara and Tom laughed, and felt happy. They loved the otter, and the otter loved them. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big dog with a ball. The dog has spikes on his back. Tom and Sue want to pet the dog. + +"Hello, dog," Tom says. "Can we pet you?" + +The dog wags his tail. He likes Tom and Sue. He drops the ball and lets them touch his spikes. They are not sharp. They are soft and mild. + +"Your spikes are nice," Sue says. "They are like a brush." + +The dog barks. He wants to play. He picks up the ball and runs away. Tom and Sue run after him. They want to catch the ball. + +But the dog is faster. He teases Tom and Sue. He runs close to them and then runs away. He makes funny noises. He thinks it is a game. + +"Come back, dog," Tom says. "Give us the ball." + +The dog does not listen. He keeps teasing Tom and Sue. He runs around the park. He makes them tired. + +"Stop teasing us, dog," Sue says. "It is not nice." + +The dog stops. He looks at Tom and Sue. He sees that they are sad. He does not want to make them sad. He wants to make them happy. + +He walks to Tom and Sue. He drops the ball. He licks their faces.

They are friends. +Tom and Ann are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys and watch cartoons. But on Sunday, they have to go to church with Mom and Dad. They do not like church. It is boring and long. + +One Sunday, Mom and Dad tell them to get ready for church. Tom and Ann do not want to go. They hide under the bed and pretend to sleep. Mom and Dad find them and say, "You have to go to church. It is good for you. God loves you and wants you to pay attention to him." + +Tom and Ann do not understand. They ask, "What is pay? How do we pay God? Do we give him money or candy or toys?" + +Mom and Dad smile and say, "No, you do not pay God with those things. You pay God with your heart and your mind. You listen to his words and you sing his songs and you pray to him. That is how you pay God." + +Tom and Ann are still confused. They say, "But church is ugly. It is dark and cold and has no colors or pictures. Why does God like ugly things?" + +Mom and Dad say, "Church is not ugly. It is beautiful. It has candles and windows and statues that show God's love and power. You have to look with your eyes and your soul. Then you will see the beauty of church." + +Tom and Ann do not agree. They think church is ugly and boring. But they have no choice. They have to go to church with Mom and Dad. They hope it will be over soon. They want to go home and play with their toys and watch cartoons. +Mia and Ben like to dance. They dance in the living room, in the kitchen, and in the garden.

They hug their mom and dad. + +They pass by the other kids. They say "Good job" and "Thank you". They are kind. But one kid is not happy. He is angry. He is jealous. He says "You cheated! You did not dance. You just jumped and spun. That is not dancing. You are guilty!" + +Mia and Ben are shocked. They are sad. They did not cheat. They did not do anything wrong. They just danced. They love dancing. They look at the kid. They say "We are sorry you feel that way. We did not mean to hurt you. We just wanted to have fun. Dancing is fun. Do you want to dance with us?" + +The kid is quiet. He thinks. He looks at Mia and Ben. He sees their smiles. He sees their trophy. He sees their kindness. He feels something. He feels sorry. He feels guilty. He says "I am sorry. I was mean. I was wrong. You did not cheat. You danced well. You deserve the trophy. Can I dance with you?" + +Mia and Ben are glad. They are happy.

She wanted to play and run and sing. + +One day, Lily had a terrible idea. She decided to lie to the teacher. She said, "Teacher, I feel sick. My tummy hurts. Can I go home?" The teacher looked at Lily and said, "Are you sure, Lily? You don't look sick. You look fine." + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, teacher. I am sure. I feel very sick. Please let me go home." The teacher felt sorry for Lily and said, "Okay, Lily. You can go home. But you have to come back tomorrow and do your work." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, teacher. I will come back tomorrow." She ran out of the class and went to the bus stop. She was happy. She thought she was clever. She thought she could lie and get away with it. + +But she was wrong. When she got home, her mom was there. Her mom was angry. She said, "Lily, why are you home? The teacher called me and told me you lied. You said you were sick, but you were not. You were naughty and lazy. You have to go back to class and say sorry to the teacher. And you have to do extra work as a punishment." + +Lily felt sad and scared. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, teacher. I won't lie again. I will go back to class and do my work. I learned my lesson. Lying is bad. Class is good." She hugged her mom and cried. She wished she never lied. She wished she liked class. +Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big hill with purple flowers. They want to go there and smell them. + +"Come on, Ben!" Lila says. "Let's run to the hill!" + +They run and run until they reach the hill. They kneel on the soft grass and pick some flowers. They smell them and smile. + +"They smell so good!" Ben says. "Like candy!" + +Lila nods. She sees a bee flying near a flower. She wants to see it closer. + +"Look, Ben! A bee!" She says. "It is yellow and black. It makes a buzz sound." + +She moves her hand to the flower. The bee does not like it. It stings her finger. Lila cries out loud. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" She says. "The bee hurt me!" + +Ben hears her cry. He drops his flowers and runs to her. He sees her finger is red and swollen. + +"I'm sorry, Lila!" He says. "The bee is mean. Let me see your finger." + +He takes her hand and blows on it. He gives her a hug. + +"It's okay, Lila." He says. "It will get better soon. Let's go to the land and find Mom. She will make it feel better." + +Lila nods. She wipes her tears and holds Ben's hand. They walk down the hill and look for Mom. They still have some purple flowers in their other hands. They are still friends. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They like to swing and slide and run. But Tom sees a big hill and wants to climb it. He says to Lily, "Come with me. We can see the sky from the top." + +Lily is scared of the hill. It is too high and steep. She says to Tom, "No, thank you. I like to stay here. You can go if you want." + +Tom nods and runs to the hill. He uses his legs and arms to rise up. He feels strong and brave. He looks back and waves to Lily. She waves back and smiles. + +Tom reaches the top of the hill. He sees the sun and the clouds and the birds. He feels happy and proud. He shouts to Lily, "Look at me! I am so high!" + +Lily hears Tom and looks up. She sees him on the hill. He looks small and far. She feels sad and lonely. She says to herself, "I wish I was with him." + +She decides to try to climb the hill. She walks to the bottom and looks up. She is still scared, but she wants to be with Tom. She says to herself, "I can do it. I can rise up too." + +She uses her legs and arms to rise up. She feels tired and scared. She slips and falls. She hurts her knee and cries. + +Tom hears Lily and looks down. He sees her on the ground. She looks hurt and sad. He feels sorry and worried. He says to himself, "I need to help her." + +He runs down the hill. He reaches Lily and hugs her. He says to her, "I am sorry. Are you okay?" + +Lily hugs him back. She says to him, "I am okay. Thank you. You are a good friend." + +Tom and Lily walk back to the park. They see a bench and sit on it. They have open arms and open hearts. They are happy and glad. They say to each other, "We are friends. We are together." +Anna liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and shapes of crayons. She was very creative. She liked to match the crayons to the things she saw. She matched the blue crayon to the sky, the green crayon to the grass, and the yellow crayon to the sun. + +One day, she saw a butterfly on a flower. It was very pretty. It had orange and black wings. Anna wanted to draw the butterfly. She looked for an orange crayon, but she could not find one. She only had red, pink, purple, and brown crayons. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, where is the orange crayon?" + +Her mom said, "I don't know, Anna. Maybe you lost it, or maybe you used it all up." + +Anna was sad. She wanted to match the crayon to the butterfly. She did not want to use a different color. + +She thought for a moment. Then she had an idea. She was very creative. She took the red crayon and the yellow crayon. She rubbed them together on the paper. She made a new color. It was orange! + +She smiled. She used the orange crayon to draw the butterfly. She matched the crayon to the butterfly. She was very happy. She showed her mom. + +Her mom said, "Wow, Anna, you are very creative.

I like to match the crayons to the things I see." +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw a snake in the grass. The snake was green and long. Lily was not scared. She wanted to say hello. + +"Hi, snake," Lily said. "What is your name?" + +The snake looked at Lily. He was surprised. Most people ran away from him. He was lonely. He liked Lily. He said, "My name is Sam. I am a friendly snake. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Lily smiled. She liked Sam. She said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. You are a nice snake. Do you want to play with me?" + +Sam nodded. He said, "Yes, I want to play with you. What do you like to play?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "I like to play hide and seek. Do you know how to play?" + +Sam said, "No, I don't know how to play. Can you teach me?" + +Lily said, "Sure, I can teach you. It is easy and fun. I will invite you to my house. Come with me." + +Lily and Sam went to Lily's house. Lily showed Sam how to play hide and seek. They took turns hiding and finding each other. They had a lot of fun. They became good friends. Lily was happy. She said, "Sam, you are the best snake ever. I am glad I met you." + +Sam was happy too. He said, "Lily, you are the best girl ever. I am glad you invited me." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the yard. It is brown and has a lock. + +"Look, a box!" Tom says. "What is inside?" + +"I don't know," Mia says. "Maybe it has candy or stickers or a teddy bear." + +They try to open the box, but it is too hard. They need a key. They look around, but they do not see a key. + +"Maybe we can find a key in the house," Tom says. "Let's go and ask Mom." + +They run to the house and find Mom in the kitchen. She is cleaning the dishes. She has a clear apron and a sponge. + +"Mom, Mom, can we have a key?" Tom asks. + +"A key? What for?" Mom asks. + +"We found a big box in the yard. It has a lock. We want to open it and see what is inside," Mia says. + +Mom smiles. She says, "That box is a surprise for you. I have the key, but you can only have it if you help me clean the kitchen. Do you want to help me?" + +Tom and Mia nod. They say, "Yes, Mom, we want to help you." + +Mom gives them each a cloth and a spray bottle. They help her wipe the table, the chairs, the counter, and the stove. They have fun cleaning and spraying. They make the kitchen shiny and neat. + +Mom says, "Good job, Tom and Mia. You are very helpful and kind. Here is the key for the box. Go and see your surprise." + +Tom and Mia say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." They take the key and run to the yard. They put the key in the lock and turn it. The box opens. They see a lot of colorful balloons and a big cake. They are very happy. They say, "Wow, what a great surprise. Thank you, Mom. This is the best day ever." +Anna liked to learn new things. She liked to learn how to draw, how to sing, how to count. She also liked to learn new words. She had a book with pictures and words that she looked at every day. + +One day, she saw a word that she did not know. It was velvet. She asked her mom what it meant. + +"Velvet is a kind of cloth that is very soft and smooth," her mom said. "Do you want to feel it?" + +"Yes, please," Anna said. + +Her mom took her to the closet and showed her a dress that was made of velvet. It was red and shiny. Anna touched it with her hand. It felt nice. + +"Wow, velvet is so soft," Anna said. "I like it." + +"I'm glad you do," her mom said. "Do you want to try it on?" + +Anna nodded. Her mom helped her put on the dress. Anna looked at herself in the mirror. She felt like a princess. + +"Can I wear it all day?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, why not?" her mom said. "But be careful not to spill anything on it. Velvet is hard to clean." + +Anna said okay. She went to play with her toys. She felt happy in her velvet dress. + +But then, something bad happened. Her brother came home from school. He saw Anna in her dress. He did not like it. + +"Yuck, what are you wearing?" he said. "That dress is disgusting. It looks like a big tomato." + +He laughed. He made fun of Anna. He tried to pull her dress. Anna felt sad. She felt angry. She did not like her brother. + +"Stop it!" Anna said. "Leave me alone. You are mean. You don't know anything about velvet. Velvet is beautiful. Velvet is soft. Velvet is my favorite word." + +She ran away from her brother. She went to her mom. She hugged her. She told her what happened. + +Her mom said, "Don't listen to him. He is just jealous. He doesn't understand how to appreciate velvet. You are smart and brave. You learned a new word today. You should be proud of yourself." + +Anna smiled. She felt better. She still liked her velvet dress. She still liked to learn new things. She decided to ignore her brother. She went back to play with her toys. She had fun. She was happy. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big church with a tall tower and a shiny cross. They wanted to see it better, so they ran across the street and climbed over the fence. + +"Wow, look at the church!" Ben said. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"Can we go inside?" Lily asked. "Maybe there are people who sing and pray there." + +Ben nodded and they walked to the door. It was open, so they went in. They saw many seats, a big organ, and a man in a long robe. He was talking to some other people. + +"Shh, we have to be quiet," Ben whispered. "This is a holy place." + +Lily nodded and they walked around. They saw some candles, some pictures, and some books. They were curious and wanted to touch everything. + +Lily saw a small table with a white cloth and a shiny cup. She reached out her hand and touched the cup. It was heavy and cold. She tried to lift it, but it was too hard. She pulled harder and harder, until the cup fell off the table and made a loud noise. + +"Crash!" The cup broke into pieces and spilled red liquid on the floor. The man in the long robe and the other people turned around and saw Lily and Ben. + +"What are you doing here?" the man shouted. "You have broken the holy cup and spilled the holy wine! You are very naughty and disrespectful!" + +Lily and Ben were scared and ashamed. They did not know what the cup and the wine were. They did not mean to break anything. They just wanted to see the church. + +"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" they cried. They ran to the door and out of the church. They leaned against the fence and hugged each other. They felt very bad and wished they had never gone inside. + +"Let's go home," Lily said. "Maybe our moms can make us feel better." + +Ben nodded and they held hands and walked away. They decided to never go near the church again. They learned that some places are not for playing, but for being quiet and respectful. +Spot is a dog. He is fast and likes to run. He has a boy who loves him. The boy's name is Tom. + +One day, Tom and Spot go to the park. They see many things. They see birds and trees and flowers. They see other dogs and children.

Lily said, reaching for the ring. "It is very pretty. Where did you find it?" + +Ben pointed to a hole he had dug with his spade. "It was in the sand, under a rock. Maybe there are more!" + +They started to dig deeper and deeper, looking for more shiny things. They did not see the man who was watching them from behind a bush. He had a hat, a coat and a big bag. He looked angry and scared. + +"Stop, stop, you little brats!" he shouted, running towards them. "That is my ring! Give it back!" + +Lily and Ben were very surprised and scared. They did not know the man. He looked mean and bad. They dropped the ring and ran away, leaving their spade, bucket and shells behind. + +The man grabbed the ring and put it in his bag. He looked around, hoping no one had seen him. He had stolen the ring from a museum. It was very old and valuable. He thought he had hidden it well in the sandpit, but he was wrong. + +He did not see the policeman who was following him. He had seen him take the ring from the museum. He had followed him to the park. He had seen him scare the children. He was ready to catch him. + +He blew his whistle and shouted, "Stop, stop, you thief! Give back the ring!" + +The man tried to run away, but he was too slow. The policeman caught him and handcuffed him. He took the ring and the bag. He called for backup. + +Lily and Ben came back with their mom. They had told her what had happened. They were still scared, but also curious. They saw the policeman and the man. They saw the ring and the bag. + +"What is going on?" their mom asked the policeman. + +The policeman explained everything. He thanked Lily and Ben for finding the ring.

It is big and red and yummy!" + +Ben is sad. He does not have a radish. He looks at his seeds. They are still small and green. He wants a radish too. + +He has an idea. He lies to Sara. He says, "Sara, I have a radish too. It is bigger and redder and yummier than yours. It is under that rock. Do you want to see it?" + +Sara is curious. She wants to see Ben's radish. She says, "Yes, Ben, I want to see it. Show me your radish." + +Ben says, "OK, Sara, but you have to give me your radish first. Then I will show you mine." + +Sara thinks. She likes her radish. But she wants to see Ben's radish too. She says, "OK, Ben, here is my radish. Now show me yours." + +Ben takes Sara's radish. He smiles. He says, "Thank you, Sara. But I do not have a radish. I lied to you. I just wanted your radish. Ha ha!" + +Sara is angry. She says, "Ben, that is not nice. You are a bad friend. You lied to me. Give me back my radish!" + +Ben says, "No, Sara, it is my radish now. You gave it to me. Go away!" + +Sara cries. She runs to her mom. She tells her what Ben did. Her mom hugs her. She says, "Sara, I am sorry. Ben was wrong. He should not have lied to you. He should have been patient. He should have waited for his seeds to grow. Maybe then he would have a radish too. But you are a good girl. You worked hard and you grew a radish. You should be proud of yourself. Here, I have another radish for you. You can have it. It is from our kitchen. It is big and red and yummy too." + +Sara smiles. She says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you. And I love radishes." She eats the radish. It is crunchy and sweet. She is happy. She says, "Mom, can we plant more seeds tomorrow?" + +Her mom says, "Yes, Sara, we can. And maybe we can share some radishes with Ben. Maybe he will learn to be a good friend. And maybe he will say sorry to you." + +Sara says, "Maybe, mom, maybe. But I will not lie to him. I will be honest and kind. And I will be patient.

Let's pour some water on them and see what happens." + +Lily was not sure. She said, "Tom, I don't think that's a good idea. The water might ruin our paper and our crayons. And mom might get angry." + +But Tom did not listen. He ran to the kitchen and got a cup of water. He came back and poured some water on his rainbow. He hoped to see the colors shine and sparkle. + +But he was wrong. The water made the colors run and mix. His rainbow became a brown mess. His paper became wet and ripped.

The monster said that he liked to eat crayons and he would not give them back. Lily was very scared and sad. She tried to run away, but the monster was faster. She cried and cried for help. + +"Lily, Lily, wake up!" she heard a voice. It was her mom, who came to her room and turned on the light. She saw Lily shaking and sobbing in her bed.

Can I bring my crayons too?" + +Mom laughed and said, "Of course, you can. But don't draw on the sheets, okay?" + +Lily agreed and said, "Okay, mom.

It was her birthday coin from Grandma. "Give it to me, Ben!" + +"No, it's mine now!" Ben said. He ran away from Lily. He did not want to share. He thought the coin was better than the car. + +Lily chased Ben around the room. She tried to get her coin back. She was sad and mad. She shouted at Ben. "Quit it, Ben! Quit being mean! That's my coin!" + +Ben did not listen. He kept running and hiding. He thought he was clever. He did not care about Lily's feelings. He only cared about the coin. + +But then he tripped on a rug and fell down. The coin flew out of his pocket and rolled under the sofa. Ben could not reach it. He cried and cried. He wanted his coin back. + +Lily saw what happened. She felt sorry for Ben. She knew how it felt to lose something you like. She decided to be nice. She crawled under the sofa and found the coin. She gave it to Ben and said, "Here, Ben. You can have the coin. I don't need it. I have my car." + +Ben was surprised. He looked at Lily and the coin. He felt ashamed. He knew he was wrong. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. I'm sorry I took your coin. I was selfish. Can we share it?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She said, "Yes, we can share it. And we can play with our cars together. They are more fun than the coin." + +Ben agreed. He hugged Lily and said, "You are a good sister.

This is my star. It is silver and shiny. It makes me wish. This is my tree. It is green and tall. It makes me climb. This is my bird. It is red and blue. It makes me sing. This is my cake. It is chocolate and yummy. It makes me hungry," Lily says. + +Tom likes her drawings. He nods his head and laughs. + +"Wow, Lily, you are very good at drawing too. I like your sun and your moon and your star and your tree and your bird and your cake. They are very pretty and fun too," Tom says. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are very nice too. Do you want to eat some cake?" Lily asks Tom. + +"Yes, I do. Can we have some cake?" Tom asks Lily. + +"Sure, we can. Let's go to the kitchen and ask Mommy. Maybe she has some cake for us," Lily says. + +They put their drawings in Tom's folder. They hold hands and run to the kitchen. They ask Mommy for some cake. + +"Mommy, Mommy, can we have some cake? We are hungry. We have been drawing a lot. We have many drawings in Tom's folder. Do you want to see?" Lily asks Mommy. + +Mommy smiles and hugs them. She is proud of them. + +"Of course, you can have some cake. You are very good at drawing. I would love to see your drawings. Let me get some cake for you. What kind of cake do you want?" Mommy asks them. + +"Chocolate cake, please. Chocolate cake is yummy," Tom and Lily say together. + +Mommy gets some chocolate cake for them. She cuts two slices and puts them on plates. She gives them some forks and napkins. She sits with them and looks at their drawings. + +"These are your drawings? They are amazing. You are very talented and creative. I like your house and your car and your dog and your cat and your flower, Tom. I like your sun and your moon and your star and your tree and your bird and your cake, Lily. You have done a great job. I am very proud of you," Mommy says. + +Tom and Lily beam with joy. They thank Mommy and eat their cake. They share their cake with Mommy. They talk about their drawings and their colors and their stories. They are happy. They love drawing. They love cake. They love Mommy. They love each other. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They like to swing on the swings. They swing high and low. They feel the wind in their hair. + +One day, a new girl comes to the park. Her name is Mia. She has a big bow in her hair. She also likes to swing on the swings. She swings very fast and very high. She says, "Look at me! I have the best swing style!" + +Lily and Ben look at Mia. They think she is not very nice. They do not like her swing style. They like their own swing style. They say, "We do not care about your swing style. We have our own swing style. We swing good and we have fun." + +Mia feels sad. She wants to have friends. She says, "I am sorry. I did not mean to be mean. I just wanted to show you my swing style. Can I play with you?" + +Lily and Ben think for a moment. They decide to give Mia a chance. They say, "Okay. You can play with us. But you have to be nice. And you have to share the swings. And you have to say nice things about our swing style." + +Mia nods. She says, "Okay. I will be nice. And I will share the swings. And I will say nice things about your swing style. Can you teach me your swing style?" + +Lily and Ben smile. They say, "Sure. We can teach you our swing style. Come on, let's swing together!" + +They all swing on the swings. They swing high and low. They feel the wind in their hair. They have fun. They have different swing styles, but they have the same swing spirit. They are friends. +Sara liked to play in her pink chamber. It had many toys and books and a big bed. She also had a friend who lived in her chamber. His name was Leo and he was a lion. Leo was soft and cuddly and he liked to roar. + +One day, Sara's mom came to her chamber and said, "Sara, it's time to go to the park. Put on your coat and shoes and bring Leo with you. He needs some fresh air too." + +Sara was happy to go to the park, but she was worried about Leo. She said, "Mom, will Leo be okay? He is not used to the park. There are many people and dogs and noises. He might be scared." + +Mom smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sara. Leo will be fine. He has you to care for him. You can hold him tight and talk to him and show him the flowers and the swings. He will have fun with you. You are his best friend." + +Sara nodded and hugged Leo. She said, "Okay, Mom. I will care for Leo. He is my best friend too." She put on her coat and shoes and took Leo with her. They went to the park and had a wonderful time. Sara and Leo were happy. +Lily and Tom were playing with a big ball in the park. They liked to kick the ball and run after it. The ball was lively and bounced high and far. Sometimes the ball went too far and they had to look for it. + +One time, the ball rolled under a big tree. Lily and Tom ran to the tree and saw the ball. But they also saw a big knot on the tree. The knot looked like a face with a nose and a mouth. Lily and Tom were curious and wanted to touch the knot. + +"Hello, knot," Lily said. "Can we touch you?" + +The knot did not answer. It was just a knot. + +"Please, knot," Tom said. "We want to see how you feel." + +The knot did not answer. It was just a knot. + +Lily and Tom were polite and did not touch the knot without asking. They waited for the knot to say something. But the knot did not say anything. It was just a knot. + +Lily and Tom got bored and decided to play with the ball again. They took the ball and kicked it. The ball was lively and bounced high and far. Lily and Tom had fun and forgot about the knot. + +The knot did not mind. It was just a knot. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play and have fun. One day, they go to the festival with their moms. The festival has many things to see and do. There are balloons, clowns, games, and music. + +Anna and Ben see a big tent. They want to go inside. Their moms say okay, but they have to return soon. Anna and Ben go inside the tent. They see many weird things. There are people with funny clothes, animals with strange colors, and machines that make noises. Anna and Ben are curious. They want to touch and try everything. + +"Look, Ben, a horse with wings!" Anna says. She points to a white horse with feathers on its back. + +"Wow, Anna, a robot with eyes!" Ben says. He points to a metal box with lights on its face. + +They run to the horse and the robot. They want to pet and play with them. But the horse and the robot are not real. They are toys. They are part of a show. The people in the tent are actors. They are pretending to be from another world. + +Suddenly, a loud voice says, "Welcome to the space circus! The show is about to begin!" + +Anna and Ben are scared. They do not like the voice. They do not like the show. They want to go back to their moms. They hold hands and run to the exit. They find their moms waiting for them. They hug them and tell them what they saw. + +Their moms smile and say, "It's okay, Anna and Ben. It was just a pretend show. The festival has many different things for different people. Some people like weird things, and some people do not. You can choose what you like and what you do not like. That's part of the fun." + +Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They are happy to be with their moms. They decide to go to another part of the festival. They see a big slide. They want to go on it. Their moms say okay, but they have to return soon. Anna and Ben go on the slide. They have fun. They like the slide. They return to their moms with big smiles. They say thank you. They enjoy the festival. +Tim and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They swing, slide and run. They have fun. + +One day, Tim's mom says, "Tim, we have to go home. We have to send a letter to grandma. She lives far away." + +Tim says, "But I want to play with Lily. Can we send the letter later?" + +Tim's mom says, "No, Tim. We have to send it now. Grandma will be happy to get our letter. She loves you very much. You can play with Lily tomorrow." + +Tim says, "OK, mom. Bye, Lily. See you tomorrow." + +Lily says, "Bye, Tim. Have a great day. Say hi to grandma for me." + +Tim and Lily hug. Then Tim and his mom go home. They write a letter to grandma. They tell her about the park and their friend. They draw a picture of them. They put the letter in an envelope. They stick a stamp on it. They go to the mailbox. They send the letter to grandma. + +Tim feels good. He hopes grandma will like their letter. He thinks about Lily. He can't wait to play with her again. He loves his mom and grandma. He has a great home. +Tom was a young boy who liked to play in the garden. He saw a big hill of dirt with many small holes. He wondered what was inside. He took a stick and poked one of the holes. Out came many ants, running and biting. Tom was scared and ran away. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" his mom asked. She saw the ants and the stick. She was not happy. + +"Mom, I wanted to see what was in the hill. But there were ants. They were angry and hurt me," Tom said. + +"Tom, that is not a hill. That is an ant home. The ants live there and work hard. They do not like it when you poke their home. They think you are a big monster who wants to eat them. That is why they bite you. You should not bother them. You should be kind and gentle to the ants and other animals," his mom said. + +"I am sorry, mom. I did not know. I will not poke the ant home again. I will fill the hole with dirt and say sorry to the ants. Can I watch them from far away? They are very fast and smart," Tom said. + +"Yes, you can watch them from far away. But do not touch them or their home. They have their own life and work. Maybe you can learn something from them. They are good at sharing and helping each other. They are very strong and brave. They are amazing creatures," his mom said. + +Tom nodded and did what his mom said. He filled the hole with dirt and said sorry to the ants. Then he sat on the grass and watched them carry food and make tunnels. He was curious and amazed. He learned to respect the ants and their home. He also learned some new words: hill, home, and ant. He was a young boy who liked to learn. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. Lily had a big dish that she filled with water and salt. She said it was soup for the hungry people. + +Tom wanted to help, but he was not careful. He took a spoon and tried to stir the soup, but he spilled some on the floor. Lily was angry. She said, "Tom, you are making a mess! You are not a good chef!" She slapped his hand with the spoon. + +Tom felt a sting and started to cry. He said, "Lily, that hurt! You are not a nice sister!" He ran to their mom, who was in the living room. Mom saw his red hand and his tears. She hugged him and said, "What happened, Tom?" + +Tom told her what Lily did. Mom said, "That was not kind, Lily. You should not slap your brother. You should be compassionate and share your toys. How would you feel if he slapped you?" + +Lily felt sorry. She knew she was wrong. She went to Tom and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was mean. I didn't mean to hurt you. Do you want to play with me again?" + +Tom nodded. He said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm sorry too. I didn't mean to spill your soup. Do you want to make a cake with me?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, let's make a cake. A big, yummy cake for everyone." + +They hugged and went back to the kitchen. Mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of her compassionate children. +Lily and Tom want to see the big show with the animals and the clowns. They have tickets that Mom gave them. They hold hands and walk to the big tent. They see many people and many seats. + +"Where do we seat, Lily?" Tom asks. + +"Look, there are numbers on the tickets. We have to find the same numbers on the seats," Lily says. She is older than Tom and knows more things. + +They look around and see a seat with the number 12. That is Lily's number. They see another seat with the number 13. That is Tom's number. They are happy and go to their seats. + +But there is a problem. There is a boy in Tom's seat. He is bigger than Tom and has a mean face. + +"Hey, this is my seat. You have to go away," Tom says. + +"No, this is my seat. You have to go away," the boy says. + +They both show their tickets. They both have the number 13. + +"How can this be?" Lily asks. + +The boy laughs. "I have two tickets. One for me and one for my friend. He is not here yet. So I can seat wherever I want." + +"That is not fair. That is not how tickets work. You are ignorant," Lily says. + +The boy does not like that. He gets angry and pushes Tom. Tom falls down and cries. Lily helps him up and hugs him. + +A man sees what happens. He is wearing a red coat and a hat. He works for the show. He comes to them and asks what is wrong. + +The boy says that Tom and Lily are trying to take his seat. Tom and Lily say that the boy has two tickets and is lying. + +The man looks at the tickets. He sees that the boy has two tickets for the same seat. He sees that Tom and Lily have tickets for different seats. + +He tells the boy that he made a mistake. He tells him that he has to give one ticket back and seat in his own seat. He tells him that he is sorry for the trouble. + +He tells Tom and Lily that they can seat in their seats. He tells them that he is sorry for the trouble. + +He gives them a smile and a candy. He tells them to enjoy the show. + +Tom and Lily thank him and seat in their seats. They are happy and forget the boy. They watch the big show with the animals and the clowns. They have fun. +Lily and Max were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big structure with slides and swings and ladders. They wanted to go and have fun on it. + +"Can we go, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful and stay where I can see you," mom said. + +Lily and Max ran to the structure. They climbed the ladders, slid down the slides, and swung on the swings. They laughed and shouted with joy. + +Then, Lily saw something shiny and bright behind a wall. She was curious and wanted to see what it was. She left Max on the swing and went to the wall. She peeked around the corner and saw a big balloon. It was red and yellow and blue and green. It sparkled in the sun. + +"Wow, a balloon!" Lily said. "I want it!" + +She reached out her hand to grab the balloon. But she did not see the string that was tied to the balloon. The string was also tied to a bench where a man was sitting. He was reading a book and did not notice Lily. + +When Lily pulled the balloon, the string pulled the bench. The bench moved and the man fell off. He dropped his book and his glasses. He was surprised and angry. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" he shouted. "That's my balloon!" + +Lily was scared and sorry. She let go of the balloon and ran back to Max. She told him what happened. + +"That was not nice, Lily," Max said. "You should say sorry to the man." + +Lily nodded. She took Max's hand and walked to the man. She looked at him with big eyes and said: + +"I'm sorry, mister. I did not mean to make you fall. I just liked your balloon. It was so bright and pretty." + +The man looked at Lily and Max. He saw that they were just kids who made a mistake. He felt less angry and more kind. + +"It's okay, little girl. I forgive you. You can have the balloon if you want. But next time, ask before you take something that is not yours." + +He gave Lily the balloon and helped her tie it to her wrist. He also gave Max a smile and a candy. He picked up his book and his glasses and sat back on the bench. + +Lily and Max thanked the man and hugged him. They were happy and grateful. They ran back to their mom and showed her the balloon. + +"Look, mom, a balloon!" Lily said. + +"Where did you get it?" mom asked. + +"We got it from a nice man," Max said. "But first, Lily made him fall." + +Lily blushed and told mom the whole story. Mom was not happy that Lily took the balloon without asking. But she was proud that Lily said sorry and made up with the man. + +She hugged Lily and Max and said: + +"I'm glad you learned your lesson, Lily. And I'm glad you were brave and honest, Max. You are both good kids. Now, let's go home and have some lunch." + +Lily and Max nodded. They held mom's hand and walked to the car. They waved goodbye to the man and the structure. They still had the balloon and the candy. They were still laughing and shouting with joy. +Lily was a curious girl who liked to ask questions. She wanted to know everything about the world and the people in it. She liked to read books and watch shows that told her stories about history. History was the name for things that happened a long time ago, before she was born. + +One day, Lily received a big box from her grandma. It was a gift for her birthday. She was very excited and opened it with her mom. Inside, she found a beautiful doll with a long dress and a hat. She also found a book with pictures and words about the doll's history. + +"Mom, who is this doll?" Lily asked. + +"This doll is called Molly, and she is from the time of the American Revolution," Mom said. "That was a very important time in history, when some people fought for freedom and independence from another country." + +"Wow, that sounds interesting," Lily said. "Can you read me the book and tell me more about Molly and the Revolution?" + +"Of course, sweetie," Mom said. "Let's sit on the couch and cuddle with Molly. I'm sure you'll love her history as much as I do." + +Lily hugged Molly and thanked her grandma for the wonderful gift. She was happy to have a new friend and a new way to learn about history. She was a curious girl who liked to ask questions, and she always wanted to know more. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing and slide and run. One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is a big rope with a buckle at the end. It hangs from a tree. + +"What is that?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Let's try it!" Ben says. + +They run to the rope. Ben grabs the buckle and tries to pull it. It is too high. He can't reach it. + +"Let me try!" Lily says. + +She jumps and catches the buckle. She is very smart. She knows how to use the buckle. She puts it around her waist and hangs from the rope. She swings back and forth. She laughs. + +"Look at me! I'm flying!" she says. + +Ben claps his hands. He is happy for Lily. He wants to try too. + +"Can I have a turn?" he asks. + +"Sure!" Lily says. She swings to the tree and lets go of the buckle. She lands on the ground. She gives the buckle to Ben. + +Ben puts the buckle around his waist and hangs from the rope. He swings back and forth. He laughs. + +"Look at me! I'm flying too!" he says. + +Lily claps her hands. She is happy for Ben. They take turns swinging on the rope. They have fun. They are good friends. +Tim and Sam are playing with their toy cars. They like to make them go fast and crash into each other. But Tim has a special car that has a hook on the back. He can attach it to other cars and pull them along. + +"Look, Sam, I can attach my car to yours!" Tim says. He hooks his car to Sam's car and drives away. + +"Hey, stop! That's not fair!" Sam says. He tries to get his car back, but Tim is too fast. He laughs and drives around the room. + +Sam is angry. He looks for something to stop Tim. He sees a lock on the door. He has an idea. He runs to the door and puts the lock on it. He turns the key and locks the door. + +"Ha, ha, now you can't get out!" Sam says. He smiles and crosses his arms. + +Tim is surprised. He stops his car and looks at the door. He sees the lock and the key. He feels scared. He doesn't like to be locked in. + +"Sam, please, open the door!" Tim says. He drops his car and runs to the door. He pulls on the handle, but it doesn't move. He bangs on the door, but no one hears him. + +"Sam, I'm sorry, I won't attach my car to yours anymore!" Tim says. He starts to cry. + +Sam hears Tim cry. He feels sorry. He doesn't want to make Tim cry. He wants to play with him. + +"Tim, don't cry, I'll open the door!" Sam says. He runs to the door and puts the key in the lock. He turns the key and unlocks the door. He opens the door and sees Tim. + +"Tim, I'm sorry, I was just joking!" Sam says. He hugs Tim and gives him his car back. + +"Sam, I'm sorry, I was just playing!" Tim says. He hugs Sam and gives him his hook back. + +They smile and wipe their tears. They are calm and happy. They decide to play with their cars together, without attaching or locking anything. They are good friends. +Tom is a boy who likes to design things. He has many crayons and papers and stickers. He can make cars and houses and animals with his crayons and papers and stickers. He likes to show his designs to his mom and dad and his sister Lily. + +Yesterday, Tom wanted to design something special for his grandpa. His grandpa is bald and he always wears a hat. Tom thought his grandpa would like a new hat with a funny design. He took a big paper and cut a circle. Then he drew a face on the paper with his crayons. He gave the face a big smile and a nose and eyes and ears. But he did not draw any hair. He stuck some stickers on the paper to make it colorful. He made a hole on each side of the paper and tied a string to it. He was very proud of his design. + +He ran to his grandpa and said, "Grandpa, I made you a hat! Look, it has a face like you, but no hair. Do you like it?" He put the paper hat on his grandpa's head and tied the string under his chin. + +His grandpa looked at himself in the mirror and laughed. He hugged Tom and said, "Thank you, Tom. I love your design. It is very funny and creative. You are a great designer. You made my day." + +Tom was happy. He liked to make his grandpa happy. He said, "You're welcome, grandpa. I love you. Can I design more things for you?" + +His grandpa said, "Of course, Tom. You can design anything you want for me. You are my favorite designer." +Anna and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Anna liked the swans. They had long necks and white feathers. She wanted to feed them some bread. + +"Mom, can I give some bread to the swans?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. They might bite you if you get too close," Mom said. + +Anna took a piece of bread and threw it into the pond. A swan swam towards it and ate it. Anna smiled. She threw another piece. But this time, a duck got to it first. The swan was angry. It hissed and flapped its wings at the duck. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Ben said. He did not like the swan. He thought it was greedy and mean. + +"Why is the swan so mean, Mom?" Anna asked. + +Mom shrugged. She did not know why the swan was so mean. Maybe it was hungry. Maybe it was scared. Maybe it was just a bad swan. + +"Some swans are nice, and some swans are mean. Just like some people are nice, and some people are mean," Mom said. + +"Are we nice, Mom?" Anna asked. + +"Of course, you are nice. You are very nice and kind and sweet," Mom said. + +"Are we wealthy, Mom?" Ben asked. + +Ben had heard the word wealthy from a TV show. He did not know what it meant. He thought it had something to do with money. + +Mom smiled. She hugged Anna and Ben. + +"Wealthy means having a lot of money. But money is not the most important thing in life. We are wealthy in other ways. We have each other. We have love. We have happiness. Those are the things that matter," Mom said. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They did not care about money. They cared about their mom. They loved their mom. They were happy with their mom. + +They watched the swan and the duck for a while. Then they went to play on the swings. They had a fun day at the park. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They were very enthusiastic and happy. + +But then they saw a big dog coming towards them. The dog was barking and growling. It looked angry and scary. Sara and Ben were afraid of the dog. They thought it was a threat. + +"Run, Sara, run!" Ben shouted. "The dog wants to bite us!" + +Sara and Ben dropped the ball and ran to the swings. They climbed up and hoped the dog would go away. But the dog did not go away. It remained near the ball and sniffed it. It did not seem to like the ball. + +"Maybe the dog is lonely and wants to play," Sara said. "Maybe it is not a threat." + +"Are you sure, Sara?" Ben asked. "It looks mean and big." + +Sara nodded. She had an idea. She took a cookie from her pocket and threw it to the dog. The dog saw the cookie and ran to get it. It ate the cookie and wagged its tail. It looked happy and friendly. + +"See, Ben, the dog is nice," Sara said. "Let's go and pet it." + +Sara and Ben got down from the swings and walked slowly to the dog. The dog licked their hands and let them touch its fur. Sara and Ben smiled and laughed. They made a new friend. They played with the dog and the ball until their mom came to pick them up. They were very enthusiastic and happy. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park when they saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and scary. They heard a loud noise like a train. + +"What is that?" Lila asked. + +"It is a hurricane," Tom said. "It is a big wind that can break things and make a mess." + +Lila and Tom ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, we are safe here. The hurricane is far away. It will not touch us." + +Lila and Tom felt better. They looked at the cloud again. It had a funny shape. It looked like a hairy monster with a big mouth. + +"Look, mom, it is a hairy hurricane!" Lila said. + +Mom laughed and said, "You have a good imagination, Lila. But it is not a hairy hurricane. It is just a cloud." + +Lila and Tom smiled. They liked to make up stories. They played with their mom until the cloud went away and the sun came out. They had a fun day in the park. +Lily and Ben were twins who loved to play in the mud. They made mud pies, mud castles, and mud animals. They did not care if they got filthy. They had fun. + +But their mom did not like it when they came home covered in mud. She said they had to take a bath before they could have dessert. Dessert was their favorite thing. They liked cake and ice cream and cookies. + +Lily and Ben did not want to take a bath. They wanted dessert. They had an idea. They ran to the bathroom and got on the scale. The scale could weigh them. They hoped the scale would say they were clean. + +But the scale did not say they were clean. The scale said they were heavy. Very heavy. The scale made a loud beep. Lily and Ben looked at each other. They were confused. + +Mom heard the beep and came to the bathroom. She saw Lily and Ben on the scale. She saw the mud on their clothes and faces and hair. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. + +"We wanted to see if we were clean," Lily said. + +"We wanted dessert," Ben said. + +Mom shook her head. She said, "The scale cannot tell you if you are clean. The scale can only tell you how much you weigh. And you weigh a lot because you have mud on you. You need to take a bath. Now." + +Lily and Ben sighed. They got off the scale and followed Mom to the tub. They knew they had to wash the mud off. They hoped dessert would still be there when they were done. +Lily liked to swim in the pool. She had a blue swimsuit and a yellow duck. She splashed and kicked and had fun. But sometimes she felt lonely. She wished she had a friend to swim with. + +One day, she saw a new boy next door. He had a red hat and a green bike. He looked nice. Lily waved to him and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want to swim with me?" + +The boy smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. I like to swim too. But I don't have a swimsuit or a duck. Can I borrow yours?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Sure, you can. Come on, let's go to the pool." + +They went to the pool and shared the swimsuit and the duck. They swam and played and laughed. They became good friends. Lily was happy. She was grateful for her new neighbor. She said, "Ben, you are a good swimmer and a good friend. Thank you for swimming with me." + +Ben hugged her and said, "Lily, you are a good swimmer and a good friend too. Thank you for sharing with me." + +They smiled and swam some more. They had a lot of fun. They were happy and grateful. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big bull in a field. The bull was black and had horns. It looked angry. + +"Look, a bull!" Sam said. "Can we go and see it?" + +"No, Sam, no!" Lily said. "The bull is bad. It can hurt us. We have to stay away." + +But Sam was curious. He wanted to see the bull up close. He ran to the fence and climbed on it. He stared at the bull. The bull stared back. + +"Sam, come back!" Lily shouted. "The bull is coming!" + +The bull did not like Sam. It did not like that he stared at it. It felt like Sam was a threat. It snorted and pawed the ground. Then it charged at Sam. + +Sam was scared. He saw the bull running at him. He tried to get off the fence, but it was too late. The bull hit the fence with its horns. The fence broke and Sam fell. He landed on the grass, near the bull. + +"Help, help!" Sam cried. "The bull is bad!" + +Lily ran to Sam. She grabbed his hand and pulled him away. She ran to the park gate, where their mom was waiting. She told their mom what happened. + +"Are you okay, Sam?" their mom asked. "You are very lucky. The bull could have hurt you badly. You should never stare at a bull. You should never go near a bull. Bulls are dangerous animals. You have to be careful." + +Sam nodded. He was sorry. He was also sore. He had bruises and scratches from the fence and the grass. He learned his lesson. He would never stare at a bull again. He hugged his mom and Lily. He was glad they were safe. +Lila and her mom went to the subway to go to the park. Lila liked the subway. It was big and fast and loud. She liked to look out the window and see the lights and the tunnels. + +"Mom, can I have a smoothie?" Lila asked. She saw a sign for a smoothie shop at the next station. + +"Sure, honey. We can get a smoothie when we get off the subway," mom said. + +Lila smiled. She liked smoothies. They were cold and sweet and smooth. She liked to drink them with a straw. + +The subway stopped at the station. Lila and her mom got off and walked to the smoothie shop. Lila saw a lot of colors and flavors. She picked a pink one with strawberries and bananas. + +"Here you go, Lila. A strawberry banana smoothie," mom said. She gave Lila a cup and a straw. + +"Thank you, mom!" Lila said. She put the straw in her mouth and took a sip. It was delicious. She felt happy. + +Lila and her mom walked to the park. Lila held her smoothie in one hand and her mom's hand in the other. She saw a playground with swings and slides and a sandbox. She wanted to play. + +"Mom, can I go to the playground?" Lila asked. + +"Of course, Lila. But be careful with your smoothie. Don't spill it or shake it too much," mom said. + +"Okay, mom. I will be careful," Lila said. + +Lila ran to the playground. She saw a lot of kids and toys. She wanted to try everything. She went to the swing and pushed herself with her feet. She felt the wind in her hair. She went to the slide and climbed to the top. She slid down with a whoosh. She went to the sandbox and made a castle with a bucket and a shovel. + +She was having so much fun. She forgot about her smoothie. She left it on a bench. A dog came by and sniffed it. He liked the smell. He licked the cup. He bit the straw. He shook the cup. The smoothie spilled everywhere. + +Lila saw the dog. She saw her smoothie. She felt sad. + +"Mom, mom! The dog took my smoothie!" Lila cried. + +Mom heard Lila. She saw the dog. She saw the smoothie. She felt sorry. + +"Oh, Lila. I'm sorry. The dog was naughty. He shouldn't have taken your smoothie," mom said. + +She hugged Lila. She wiped her tears. She gave her a tissue. + +"It's okay, mom. I still love you. And I still love smoothies. Can we get another one?" Lila asked. + +"Sure, Lila. We can get another one. But this time, let's keep it close to us. And let's share it, okay?" mom said. + +"Okay, mom. Let's share it. And let's be nice to the dog. Maybe he was hungry," Lila said. + +Mom smiled. She kissed Lila. She took her hand. They walked back to the smoothie shop. They got another smoothie. They shared it. They were happy. +Tim was a bird who liked to fly. He flew high in the sky and saw many things. He saw trees and flowers and houses and cars. He saw other birds too, but they did not want to play with him. They said he was too small and too slow and too noisy. Tim felt lonely and sad. + +One day, he saw a big piece of meat on the ground. It smelled good and he was hungry. He flew down to eat it, but he did not see the trap. A net fell on him and he was stuck. He tried to get out, but he could not. He was scared and he cried. + +"Help! Help!" he shouted. + +A dog heard him and came running. The dog liked meat too, and he saw Tim in the net. He licked his lips and barked. + +"Hello, little bird. You look tasty. I will eat you for my lunch." + +"Please, no!" Tim begged. "I don't want to be your lunch. I want to fly and be free. Please, let me go." + +The dog looked at Tim and felt sorry for him. He remembered how he was lonely too, before he found a home and a family. He did not want to make Tim more lonely and sad. + +"Okay, little bird. I will not eat you. I will help you. I will bite the net and set you free. But you have to promise me something." + +"What is it?" Tim asked. + +"You have to promise me to be my friend. I don't have many friends. I want to play with you and talk to you and have fun with you. Will you be my friend?" + +Tim was surprised and happy. He did not expect the dog to be so kind and friendly. He nodded and said. + +"Yes, I will be your friend. Thank you for helping me. You are very nice and brave and smart." + +The dog smiled and wagged his tail. He bit the net and tore it apart. Tim flew out and landed on the dog's head. He thanked him again and said. + +"Come on, let's go and play. I know a place where we can find some seeds and bones and water. We can share them and enjoy them together. We can fly and run and bark and sing. We can be the best friends ever." + +The dog agreed and followed Tim. They left the meat and the trap behind. They did not need them anymore. They had each other. They were not lonely and sad anymore. They were happy and glad. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, Tim gets a letter in the mail. He is very happy. He shows it to Sam. + +"Look, Sam, I have a letter! It is from my grandma. She lives far away. She sends me letters sometimes. Do you want to hear what she says?" + +"Yes, Tim, I want to hear. What does she say?" + +Tim opens the letter and reads it. He speaks slowly and loud. + +"Dear Tim, I hope you are well and happy. I miss you very much. I have a surprise for you. I am coming to visit you next week. I can't wait to see you and hug you. I love you, Grandma." + +Tim and Sam smile. They are very excited. They like surprises. They like Tim's grandma. She is very nice and fun. She always brings them cookies and toys. + +"Wow, Tim, that is a great letter! Your grandma is coming to visit you! That is so cool! You are very lucky. I wish my grandma would come to visit me too." + +"Maybe she will, Sam. Maybe she will send you a letter too. You never know. Letters are fun. They make you happy. They tell you things. They are like speaking, but on paper." + +Tim and Sam hug. They are happy. They go back to playing with their cars and balls. They talk about what they will do with Tim's grandma. They have many ideas. They can't wait for next week. +Sara likes to paint. She has many colors and brushes. She paints flowers and trees and animals. She wants to be a painter when she grows up. + +One day, she sees a new painter in the park. He has a big hat and a long coat. He paints very fast and very different. His paintings are not like Sara's. They are dark and strange and mysterious. + +Sara is curious. She walks to the new painter and says hello. She asks him what he is painting. + +The new painter looks at Sara and smiles. He says, "I am painting what I see in my dreams. Do you want to see?" + +Sara nods. She wants to see his dreams. She thinks they must be very interesting. + +The new painter shows Sara his paintings. They are full of shapes and colors and shadows. Sara does not understand them, but she likes them. They make her feel something. + +The new painter says, "Do you want to paint with me? I can teach you some tricks." + +Sara says yes. She wants to learn from the new painter. She thinks he is very mysterious and very nice. + +They paint together for a long time. They have fun and talk and laugh. Sara learns new things and the new painter likes Sara's paintings. + +They become friends. Sara is happy. She likes to paint with the new painter. She thinks he is the best painter in the park. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big old dog. The dog is soft and brown. He has a red collar. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asks Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe he is not nice," Tom says. + +They go closer to the dog. The dog wags his tail. He looks happy. He does not bark. + +"Hello, dog. What is your name?" Lily says. + +The dog licks Lily's hand. He likes her. + +"His name is Skip. He is my dog," a voice says. + +They turn around and see a girl. She is older than them. She has long hair and a blue dress. + +"Hi, I am Anna. Do you want to play with Skip?" she says. + +"Yes, please. We like Skip. He is soft and nice," Tom says. + +"Okay. Come on, Skip. Let's play," Anna says. + +She throws a ball. Skip runs after it. Lily and Tom run too. They skip and laugh. They have fun with Skip and Anna. They make new friends. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Tom and Lily have a lot of fun there. + +One day, Tom and Lily want to try something new. They see a hill with a lot of grass. The grass is green and soft. Tom and Lily think it looks like a good place to roll down. + +"Let's roll down the hill!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Lily says. + +They run to the top of the hill. They lie down on the grass. They hold hands. They start to roll down the hill. + +But the hill is not as easy as it looks. The grass is not all soft. Some of it is tough and prickly. It scratches Tom and Lily's skin. It makes them itch. And the hill is very steep. It makes them roll very fast. They feel dizzy and scared. + +"Stop! Stop!" Tom and Lily shout. + +But they can't stop. They keep rolling down the hill. They pass the slide, the swing, and the sandbox. They roll all the way to the fence. They hit the fence with a thud. + +"Ouch!" Tom and Lily say. + +They let go of each other's hands. They sit up on the grass. They look at each other. They are covered with dirt, grass, and scratches. They feel sore and sad. + +They did not have fun. They did not like the hill. They did not complete their roll. + +They wish they had stayed on the slide, the swing, or the sandbox. + +"Let's go back to the park," Tom says. + +"Yes, let's go," Lily says. + +They get up and walk back to the park. They leave the hill behind. They do not want to try it again. They decide to play with their old toys. They are happy again. +Lily was a baby who liked to repeat what her big sister Emma said. Emma thought this was silly and sometimes got annoyed with Lily. One day, Emma was playing with her dolls in her room and Lily was in her crib in the same room. Emma pretended that her dolls were having a tea party and made up funny names for them. + +"This is Princess Sparkle and this is Mr. Snuggles," Emma said, holding up two dolls. "They are best friends and they like to drink tea and eat cookies." + +"Princess Sparkle! Mr. Snuggles!" Lily repeated from her crib, making Emma roll her eyes. + +"Shh, Lily, you are ruining my game," Emma said. "You don't know how to play with dolls. You are too little." + +"Too little! Too little!" Lily repeated, giggling. + +Emma sighed and tried to ignore Lily. She moved her dolls to another corner of the room and continued her tea party. She made up more names and stories for her dolls, hoping that Lily would stop copying her. + +"This is Captain Fluffy and this is Miss Rainbow," Emma said, holding up two more dolls. "They are pirates and they like to sail the seas and find treasure." + +"Captain Fluffy! Miss Rainbow!" Lily repeated from her crib, making Emma frown. + +"Lily, stop it!" Emma said. "You are being very silly and annoying. You don't know how to play with pirates. You are a baby." + +"Baby! Baby!" Lily repeated, clapping her hands. + +Emma was very angry and frustrated. She threw her dolls on the floor and stomped to Lily's crib. She glared at Lily and said, "Lily, you are a bad baby. You can't repeat everything I say. You have to be quiet and let me play." + +Lily looked at Emma with big eyes and said, "Bad baby? Quiet? Play?" + +Emma felt a pang of guilt and regret. She realized that Lily was not trying to be silly or annoying. She was just trying to learn new words and have fun with her sister. Emma felt sorry for being mean to Lily. She smiled and said, "No, Lily, you are not a bad baby. You are a good baby. And you can repeat some things I say, but not everything. And you can play with me, but not with my dolls. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Good baby. Repeat some. Play with you. Understand." + +Emma hugged Lily and said, "I love you, Lily. You are my little sister and I want to teach you new things. But sometimes I need to play by myself, too. Can you let me do that?" + +Lily hugged Emma back and said, "Love you, Emma. You are my big sister and I want to learn from you. But sometimes I need to repeat, too. Can you let me do that?" + +Emma and Lily agreed to respect each other's needs and wants. They decided to play together with some toys that they both liked, such as blocks and balls. They had fun and learned new words from each other. They were happy and proud to be sisters. +Anna liked cherries very much. She liked how they were red and shiny and sweet. She liked to pick them from the tree in the garden and eat them with her fingers. But sometimes, her mom said no. She said cherries were not good for Anna's tummy if she ate too many. She said Anna had to share them with her brother and sister and dad. + +One day, Anna saw a big bowl of cherries on the table. They looked so yummy and juicy. She wanted to eat them all. She looked around and saw no one. She thought, maybe mom will not know. She reached for the bowl and grabbed a handful of cherries. She put one in her mouth and bit it. + +But something was wrong. The cherry was not sweet. It was spicy. It burned Anna's tongue and made her cough. She spit out the cherry and dropped the others. She ran to the sink and drank some water. She felt tears in her eyes. She did not like spicy cherries. + +She heard a voice behind her. It was mom. She looked angry and sad. She said, "Anna, what did you do? Those cherries were not for you. They were for dad. He likes spicy cherries. He put some pepper on them. You should not have taken them without asking. You should have waited for me to permit you. Now you have hurt your mouth and wasted the cherries. That was not nice." + +Anna felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I did not know. I like cherries, but not spicy ones. They are bad. I will not do it again. I will share and ask next time. Please forgive me." + +Mom hugged Anna and said, "I forgive you, Anna. But you have to be careful and listen to me. Cherries are good, but only in moderation. And not all cherries are the same. Some are spicy and some are not. You have to check before you eat. And you have to respect dad's food. He works hard and deserves his treat. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I love you. And I love dad. And I love cherries. But not spicy ones." +Tom and Lily love to watch movies. They have a big TV and a box with many movies. Sometimes they watch funny movies, sometimes they watch scary movies, sometimes they watch movies with animals. + +One day, they watch a movie with a famous dog. The dog can do many tricks and help people. Tom and Lily like the dog very much. They clap and laugh when the dog does something good. + +But then, the dog gets in trouble. He is chased by a bad man who wants to catch him. The dog runs and jumps and hides, but the bad man is close. Tom and Lily are afraid for the dog. They want him to be safe. + +"Pause the movie, Tom!" Lily says. "I don't want to see the dog get hurt!" + +Tom pauses the movie. The dog is frozen on the TV. He looks scared and sad. + +"Don't worry, Lily," Tom says. "It's just a movie. The dog will be okay. He is a smart and brave dog. He will find a way to escape." + +"Are you sure, Tom?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, I'm sure," Tom says. "Do you want to see how the movie ends?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She wants to know what happens to the dog, but she is also nervous. + +"Okay, Tom," she says. "But can we hold hands?" + +"Of course, Lily," Tom says. "We can hold hands and watch the movie together." + +Tom and Lily hold hands and press play. The movie starts again. They watch as the dog outsmarts the bad man and finds his friends. They cheer and hug when the dog is happy and safe. + +They like the movie very much. They think the dog is the best dog ever. They want to have a dog like him. + +"Maybe we can ask Mom and Dad for a dog," Tom says. + +"Maybe we can," Lily says. "But first, let's make a stamp for the dog. He deserves a stamp." + +They get some paper and paint and make a stamp for the dog. They stamp his picture on the paper and write his name. They hang the paper on the wall. + +They are proud of their stamp. They think the dog is famous and cool. They hope he likes their stamp. They smile and hug. They love movies and stamps and dogs. +Lila was a princess who lived in a big castle. She had many pretty dresses and toys, but she was not happy. She wanted to see the world outside the castle, but her father, the king, said it was too dangerous. He said she had to wear a veil over her face whenever she went out, so no one would know who she was. + +One day, Lila saw a boy playing with a kite in the garden. He had brown hair and blue eyes, and he smiled a lot. Lila wanted to play with him, but she was afraid he would not like her veil. She hid behind a tree and watched him. + +"Hello, who are you?" the boy said, looking at the tree. He had seen Lila's veil peeking out. + +Lila was scared, but also curious. She came out from behind the tree and said, "I am Lila. I live in the castle. Who are you?" + +"I am Tom. I live in the village. I came to fly my kite. Do you want to try?" he said, holding out his kite. + +Lila nodded. She liked kites. She took the kite and ran with it. The kite flew high in the sky, and Lila felt free and happy. She forgot about her veil. + +"Wow, you are good at flying kites!" Tom said, clapping his hands. + +"Thank you. You are very kind," Lila said, smiling. + +They played with the kite for a while, and then they sat on the grass and talked. They told each other about their lives, their dreams, their favorite things. They found out they had a lot in common. They became friends. + +Lila felt something she had never felt before. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. She wanted to show Tom her face. She wanted him to see her smile. She reached for her veil and opened it. + +Tom gasped. He saw Lila's face. She had golden hair and green eyes, and she was very beautiful. He also saw something else. He saw a crown on her head. + +"You are the princess!" he said, in awe. + +Lila nodded. She was afraid he would be angry or scared. She said, "I am sorry I did not tell you. I wanted to be like you. I wanted to have fun. I wanted to be your friend." + +Tom smiled. He was not angry or scared. He was happy. He said, "You are still like me. You are still fun. You are still my friend. And you are also the princess. That is amazing. I like you, Lila." + +Lila smiled back. She was happy. She said, "I like you, Tom. You are my best friend. You are also amazing. You make me feel things I never felt before." + +They hugged each other. They did not care about the veil or the crown. They only cared about each other. They were friends, and maybe something more. They were happy. +Sara and Ben liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to open and close the doors of the freezer and the fridge. They liked to see the ice and the food inside. + +One day, they found a big bag of carrots in the freezer. They wanted to make a snowman with the carrots. They took the bag out and opened it. But the carrots were not good. They were soft and brown and smelled bad. They had rot. + +"Yuck!" Sara said. "These carrots are rot. We can't use them for our snowman." + +"Maybe we can find something else," Ben said. He looked around the kitchen. He saw a can of soup on the counter. He had an idea. + +"Look, Sara," he said. "We can use this can for our snowman's head. It is round and shiny. And it has a picture of a mighty lion on it. Our snowman will be a mighty lion snowman." + +Sara liked Ben's idea. She smiled. They took the can and some other things from the kitchen. They went outside to the snow. They made a mighty lion snowman with the can, some sticks, some leaves and some rocks. They were very happy with their snowman. They forgot about the rot carrots in the freezer. +Lily and Max liked to play hide and seek in the big house. They ran from room to room, looking for good places to hide. One day, they found a new room with a big window and a long curtain. Lily thought it was a perfect spot to hide behind the curtain. She pulled the curtain and ran behind it. + +Max counted to ten and started to look for Lily. He looked under the bed, behind the door, in the closet, but he could not find her. He heard a giggle from the window. He ran to the window and saw a lump behind the curtain. He pulled the curtain and said, "I found you, Lily!" + +But when he pulled the curtain, he pulled too hard. The curtain came off the rod and fell to the floor. Lily and Max gasped. They saw a big hole in the curtain where Max had pulled it. They knew they had made a big mess. They were scared that Mom would be angry. + +They tried to fix the curtain. They lifted it up and put it back on the rod. But the hole was still there. They tried to cover the hole with a pillow. But the pillow was too small. They tried to tie the curtain with a ribbon. But the ribbon was too loose. They tried to restore the curtain, but they could not. + +They heard Mom coming up the stairs. They did not know what to do. They hid behind the curtain again. Mom opened the door and saw the curtain on the window. She saw the hole, the pillow, and the ribbon. She smiled. She knew who had done it. She walked to the window and said, "Lily, Max, are you there?" + +Lily and Max peeked out from behind the curtain. They looked at Mom with big eyes. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We were playing hide and seek and we broke the curtain. We tried to restore it, but we could not. Please don't be mad." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm not mad, my loves. I know you were having fun. But you have to be careful with the curtain. It is old and fragile. Next time, find another place to hide. And don't be persistent in pulling the curtain. It might tear again." + +Lily and Max nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. We're sorry. We love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too. Now, let's go downstairs and have some cookies. And maybe we can find a new curtain for this room." +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and make things. One day, they find some wool in a box. They want to make something with the wool. + +"What can we make with the wool?" Sara asks. + +"Maybe we can make a scarf or a hat," Ben says. + +They try to wrap the wool around their fingers and make loops. But it is hard. The wool slips and gets tangled. They feel sad. + +"Let's not give up," Sara says. "We can do it if we try." + +She encourages Ben to keep trying. She shows him how to hold the wool and make a knot. Ben tries to copy her. He makes a knot too. + +"Look, we did it!" Ben says. "We made a knot!" + +They smile and hug each other. They are happy. They keep making knots and loops with the wool. They make a long string of wool. + +"We can make a scarf with this," Sara says. + +They wrap the string of wool around their necks. They feel warm and cozy. + +"We made a scarf!" Ben says. + +They are proud. They made something with the wool. They are successful. They show their scarf to their mom and dad. They are happy too. They praise Sara and Ben for their work. + +"You are very clever and creative," mom says. + +"You are very patient and helpful," dad says. + +Sara and Ben feel good. They thank their mom and dad. They share their scarf and play with their toys. They have fun. They love each other. +Lily liked to study ducks. She had a book with many pictures of ducks. She knew their names and sounds. She wanted to see real ducks, not just in the book. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom. There was a pond with many ducks. Lily was very happy. She ran to the pond and pointed at the ducks. "Look, mom, a mallard, a wood duck, a teal!" she said. + +She saw a duck that was different from the others. It had a red head and a blue bill. It was making a loud noise. "Quack, quack, quack!" it said. Lily did not know this duck. She looked at her book, but she could not find it. + +She asked her mom, "What is this duck, mom? It is not in my book. It is very crazy." + +Her mom smiled and said, "That is not a duck, Lily. That is a goose. A goose is a big bird that looks like a duck, but it is not. It is very noisy and sometimes mean. You have to be careful with geese. They can bite you." + +Lily was surprised. She did not know there were birds that looked like ducks, but were not. She wanted to learn more about geese. She said, "Can we get a book about geese, mom? I want to study geese too. Maybe they are not so crazy, just different." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Sometimes they play with toys, sometimes they play with books, sometimes they play with puzzles. Puzzles are fun, but hard. They have many pieces that fit together. Lily and Ben try to solve the puzzles. + +One day, they find a new puzzle. It is big and colorful. It has pictures of people doing yoga. Yoga is when people bend and stretch their bodies in different ways. Lily and Ben think yoga looks funny and fun. They want to try it. + +They open the puzzle box and dump the pieces on the floor. They start to look for the edges and the corners. They try to match the colors and the shapes. But the puzzle is very hard. They cannot find the right pieces. They get frustrated and sad. + +"Ben, this puzzle is too hard. I don't like it. Let's play something else." Lily says. + +"No, Lily, we can do it. We just need to try harder. Let's look at the picture on the box. It will help us." Ben says. + +They look at the box. They see the people doing yoga. They see their faces and their clothes and their poses. They see the background and the details. They see something else. They see a distant mountain. A distant mountain is a mountain that is very far away. It looks small and blue. + +"Look, Lily, there is a distant mountain on the picture. Do you see any pieces with the mountain?" Ben says. + +"Yes, Ben, I see some. They are blue and white. Here, I have one. Do you have one?" Lily says. + +"Yes, Lily, I have one too. Let's put them together. Maybe they will fit." Ben says. + +They put the pieces together. They fit. They find more pieces with the mountain. They fit too. They make a row of pieces with the mountain. They are happy. + +"Ben, we did it. We solved part of the puzzle. We made the distant mountain. It is beautiful." Lily says. + +"Yes, Lily, we did it. We are good at puzzles. Let's do more. Let's do the people doing yoga. They are funny and fun." Ben says. + +They smile and hug. They are happy. They do more puzzles. They have fun. They learn about yoga and distant mountains. They are friends. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with Mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also liked to run on the grass and look for bugs and flowers. + +"Look, Tom, a green bug!" Lily said, pointing to a shiny beetle on a leaf. "Can I catch it?" + +"Be careful, Lily, don't step on the flowers," Tom said. He followed his sister as she ran after the bug. + +Lily was so excited that she did not see the hole in the ground. She stepped on it and fell down. She hurt her knee and started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she sobbed. "Mom, help!" + +Mom heard Lily's cry and ran to her. She picked her up and hugged her. + +"It's okay, Lily, it's just a scratch," Mom said. She wiped Lily's tears and put a band-aid on her knee. "There, all better." + +"Thank you, Mom," Lily said. She smiled and gave Mom a kiss. + +"Can I still catch the green bug?" she asked. + +"Maybe later, Lily," Mom said. "Why don't we go and have a snack first?" + +"Okay, Mom," Lily said. She held Mom's hand and walked with her. Tom followed them, too. + +They went to a bench and ate some cookies and juice. They saw the green bug fly away, but they did not mind. They were happy to be together. +Lila and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for mom. They found a big bowl and a big spoon. They put some flour, some sugar, some eggs and some milk in the bowl. They took turns to stir the mixture. + +"Stir, stir, stir," they said. "We are making a cake!" + +They looked for something to decorate the cake. They saw a jar of sprinkles on the shelf. They climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. But they knocked over a vase of flowers. The vase fell and broke. Water and petals spilled on the floor. A feather from the flowers flew in the air and landed in the bowl. + +"Oh no!" Lila said. "The cake has a feather in it!" + +Tom picked up the feather. It was soft and white. He tickled Lila's nose with it. Lila giggled and sneezed. + +"Stop it, Tom!" she said. "The feather is not for tickling. It is for the cake!" + +Tom put the feather on top of the mixture. He said, "There. Now the cake is pretty. Mom will love it." + +They put the bowl in the oven. They did not know how long to bake it. They waited and waited. They smelled something burning. They opened the oven. The cake was black and hard. The feather was burned and crispy. + +"Uh oh," Tom said. "The cake is not good. Mom will not love it." + +Lila and Tom felt sad. They heard mom coming home. They ran to hug her. They said, "Mom, we are sorry. We tried to make a cake for you. But we made a mess. And the cake has a feather in it." + +Mom smiled and kissed them. She said, "Thank you, Lila and Tom. You are very sweet. I don't care about the cake. I love you." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. Their room has a big window. They can see the park from the window. Sometimes they see dogs, birds, and people. + +One day, they see a big truck. The truck has a long arm. The arm has a big ball. The ball hits a house. The house is old and brown. The ball makes a loud noise. The house falls down. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They kneel on the floor. They hug each other. They say, "What is happening?" + +Mom comes in. She sees the truck and the house. She smiles. She says, "Don't worry, my loves. They are making a new house. A modern house. A modern house is new and nice. It has bright colors and big windows. Maybe we can visit the new house someday." + +Lily and Ben feel better. They stand up. They look at the window. They see the truck and the ball. They say, "Wow, a modern house. That sounds fun. Can we help them make it?" + +Mom laughs. She says, "No, my loves. That is a big job. Only the workers can do it. But we can watch them and cheer them on.

Maybe it belongs to someone else." + +Lily and Ben ran to the house and asked Mom. Mom said they could use the pipe, but they had to be careful and not break it.

Tom and Anna were stuck in the tree. They were scared and sad. They cried for help. + +A man was walking by the park. He heard their cries and saw them in the tree. He was a generous man. He had a rope and a flashlight. He threw the rope to Tom and Anna and said, "Don't worry, I will help you. Grab the rope and slide down. I will catch you." + +Tom and Anna grabbed the rope and slid down. The man caught them and hugged them. He gave them his flashlight and said, "Here, take this light. It will help you see in the dark. You can keep it. It is a gift." + +Tom and Anna thanked the man and smiled. They were happy and grateful. They shared their apples with the man. They ate the apples and talked. They became friends. They learned that the man's name was Bob and he was a firefighter. He told them stories about his job and his adventures. + +They had a lot of fun. They learned that sometimes bad things happen, but good things can happen too. They learned that being generous is a good thing. They learned that helping others is a good thing. They learned that making friends is a good thing. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw some big, dark clouds in the sky. They heard a loud boom and saw a bright flash. + +"Mommy, what is that?" Anna asked, scared. + +"That is thunder and lightning, sweetie. It means it will rain soon. We should go inside and stay safe," Mommy said. + +"But we want to play more!" Ben said, sad. + +"I know, honey, but rain can make you wet and cold. Maybe we can play a game inside, or read a book, or draw a picture. How about that?" Mommy said, smiling. + +Anna and Ben nodded, but they still wished they could play outside. They followed Mommy into the house and closed the door. + +The rain started to fall hard. It made a lot of noise on the roof and the windows. Anna and Ben looked outside and saw the water splash on the ground and the plants. They saw a big puddle form in the yard. + +"Look, Mommy, a puddle!" Anna said, excited. + +"Can we go and jump in it?" Ben asked, hopeful. + +"Not now, sweetie. It is still raining and there might be more thunder and lightning. It is not safe to go outside. Maybe later, when the rain stops and the sky is clear, we can go and have some fun in the puddle. But for now, we have to wait," Mommy said, gently. + +Anna and Ben sighed, but they understood. They decided to play a game inside. They chose to play hide and seek. Mommy counted to ten while Anna and Ben ran to find a good hiding spot. + +Anna hid under the bed. Ben hid in the closet. Mommy looked for them in the living room, the kitchen, the bathroom, but she could not find them. She pretended to be confused and surprised. + +"Where are Anna and Ben? I can't find them anywhere. Maybe they went outside in the rain. Oh no, they will get wet and sick. I hope they are okay. I wish they would come back," Mommy said, loudly. + +Anna and Ben heard Mommy and felt sorry for her. They wanted to make her happy. They also wanted to go outside in the puddle, but they knew they had to wait. They had an idea. + +They came out of their hiding spots and ran to Mommy. They hugged her and said, "We are here, Mommy. We are not outside. We are inside and dry and warm. We love you, Mommy." + +Mommy hugged them back and said, "I love you too, Anna and Ben. You are very good and smart. You made me happy. Thank you for playing with me." + +They smiled and kissed Mommy. Then they looked outside and saw that the rain had stopped. The sky was clear and blue. The sun was shining. The puddle was still there, big and shiny. + +"Look, Mommy, the rain stopped. The sky is clear. The puddle is still there. Can we go and jump in it now?" Anna and Ben asked, excited. + +Mommy looked outside and saw that it was safe and beautiful. She smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But first, let's pray and thank God for the rain and the sun and the puddle and the fun. And let's put on some boots and coats, so we don't get too wet and cold. How about that?" + +Anna and Ben nodded, happy. They prayed and thanked God. They put on some boots and coats. They followed Mommy outside and ran to the puddle. They jumped and splashed and laughed and played. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Tom and Anna liked to play in the woods behind their house. They liked to look for bugs, flowers and birds. One day, they saw a new trail that they had never seen before. It looked like someone had made it with a big stick. + +"Let's follow it," Tom said. "Maybe we will discover something cool." + +"OK," Anna said. "But we have to be careful. Maybe it is dangerous." + +They walked on the trail for a while. They saw some footprints that looked like a bear's. They heard some noises that sounded like a growl. They felt some wind that made them shiver. + +"Tom, I don't like this trail," Anna said. "I want to go back." + +"Me too," Tom said. "This trail is scary. Let's run." + +They turned around and ran as fast as they could. They did not see the big hole in the ground. They fell into it and landed on a pile of leaves. They looked up and saw a big bear looking down at them. It had a big stick in its mouth. It had made the trail. + +"Help!" Tom and Anna screamed. + +The bear dropped the stick and roared. It was angry that they had followed its trail. It wanted to eat them. + +But then they heard another noise. It was their dad. He had heard their screams and came to the woods. He had a gun. He shot the bear and scared it away. + +"Tom! Anna! Are you OK?" he shouted. + +He climbed into the hole and hugged them. They were OK, but they were very scared. + +"Dad, you saved us!" Tom and Anna said. + +"Of course I did," he said. "But you should never follow a strange trail in the woods. It is very dangerous. You could discover something you don't want to. Come on, let's go home." + +He lifted them out of the hole and took them home. They never followed that trail again. They learned their lesson. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they see a big box on the table. It has a bow and a tag that says "For Ben and Lily, from Grandma and Grandpa". + +"What is in the box?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know. Let's open it!" Lily says. + +They rush to the table and pull the bow. They lift the lid and see a funny puppet show. There are two puppets, a dog and a cat, and a curtain with stars and moons. + +"Wow! This is so cool!" Ben says. + +"Let's put on a show!" Lily says. + +They take the puppets and the box to the couch. They hide behind the couch and make the puppets talk. + +"Hello, I am the dog. I like to run and bark," Ben says with a deep voice. + +"Hello, I am the cat. I like to nap and purr," Lily says with a high voice. + +They make the puppets do funny things, like chase each other, sing songs, and tell jokes. They have a lot of fun. + +Mom and Dad hear them laughing and come to see. They sit on the floor and watch the show. + +"Bravo! Bravo! You are very good!" Mom says. + +"That was a great start! Can we see more?" Dad says. + +Ben and Lily smile and nod. They are happy that Mom and Dad like their show. They thank Grandma and Grandpa for the gift. They think it is the best gift ever. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. Sara is faster than Ben, but Ben is stronger than Sara. They have fun together. + +But then Sara starts to cough. She feels something bad in her chest. Her lung is tight and hurts. She stops running and sits on the grass. She breathes hard and fast. + +"Are you okay, Sara?" Ben asks. He runs to her and sits next to her. He is worried about his friend. + +"No, Ben. I feel sick. My lung is tight. I can't run anymore." Sara says. She sounds sad and scared. + +Ben hugs Sara and tries to make her feel better. He remembers that his mom has a phone that can call a doctor. He takes out the phone from his pocket and pushes the button. + +"Hello, mom? Sara is sick. Her lung is tight. Can you come and help us?" Ben says. + +"Okay, Ben. Don't worry. I'm coming right now. Stay with Sara and keep her warm. I love you." Mom says. + +Ben and Sara wait for mom. They hold hands and talk softly. They hope that the doctor can make Sara's lung feel good again. They are good friends.
