+Daisy ran away, scared and confused. When she arrived at her safe spot, Daisy felt a little relieved. She told herself that next time she wouldn't let herself be disturbed.

+
+But when she arrived at her safe spot, she found the same voice there. It belonged to a small boy who said "I was just looking for a friend."

+

+He heard a voice from behind him. "Why are you so lonely?". He turned around and saw a little girl standing there. He smiled and said, "I don't have anyone to play with".
+
+The little girl said, "Come with me and we can play on the bench together!".
+
+The little boy was so happy. He ran over to the bench and he and the girl sat down together. They both rubbed their hands against the bench and laughed. 
+
+The little boy had found a friend. They played together on the bench all day long, and by the time they were done, his loneliness was gone.

+Mother and Peter were playing with their toys together. Peter ran over to his mother and said, “Mommy, let’s play a joke on Daddy.â€
+
+Mother said, “No, we shouldn’t do bad things.â€
+
+Peter thought for a moment and then smiled. “It won’t be bad. It will be fun! Please, Mommy?â€

+
+Peter’s face lit up. “Let’s hide his shoes when he’s not looking!â€

One day, the little duck wanted to take a bath in one of the many ponds, so he waddled over to the edge of the pond. As he was getting ready to bathe, he saw a frog watching him with fascination.
+
+“Hi Little Frog!†said the duck, “Are you also here to take a bath?†
+
+The frog was shaking his head, until he finally said “No, I do not take baths. Water is my home!†
+
+The little duck looked at the frog curiously and said, “So why do you watch me bathe?†
+
+The frog smiled and said, “I watch you because I want you to know that a bath is nice, but if you don’t take your home with you, you won’t have it when you are done!†
+
+This made the duck think, and he realized the moral of the story. He thanked the frog kindly, and from that day on, he made sure to take his home with him everywhere he went. 
+
+The moral of this story is to remember your home no matter where you go.

+
+“Oh wow,†said the frog. “I could really go for a drink like that!â€

+
+“Of course you can,†said the lily pad. “You’re such a cute frog! You can have the lemonade.â€
+
+The frog was so happy. He started to drink the lemonade. It was so sweet and tart. He drank until he was full.

+
+Suddenly, Liza shouted "Stop!" She reminded them that the heart-shaped balloon was tied to the tree, so it could not move.
+
+Liza's friends stopped running, and Liza said, "If the heart is tied to the tree, then we should be like the heart and be tied to our true friends and never abandon them."
+
+All the kids nodded in agreement and agreed to follow Liza's advice. They made a promise to be like the heart and to be cheerful and keep their friendship ties strong.

+
+But the girl shook her head and said, "No, I want to dance!"
+
+So, her mother said, "If you really want to dance, why don't you learn some new moves and become a better dancer?"
+
+The girl thought about it and agreed. She kept dancing every day and, with her persistent practice, she soon learned many new moves and her dancing became better and better.

+A little girl named Mary was playing in her yard. She saw a helicopter flying in the sky. It was so high up, she could hardly make it out. She wished she could go up in it one day.

+
+Tammy stopped and looked around. She quickly realized that there was no one else available to help her. She thought for a moment, then bravely decided to climb up the branch all by herself. 
+
+Once she reached the top, Tammy was filled with joy and gratitude. She wanted to stay up there forever, but then she felt a strong gust of wind. Suddenly, her hat flew away!

+
+When he got inside, he was even more excited. There was a little rabbit inside! The rabbit said, "Well hello there! You must want to help me protect this igloo?" Little Pete smiled and nodded his head.

+
+The little girl was afraid, so she quickly climbed back onto her swing. But the branch was too dry and it broke when she grabbed it. The little girl was so scared that she started to cry.
+
+But her dad didn't get angry, he just smiled and said: "There, there. Don't worry. That's why swings are better than poison".

+

+Tim took a breath and said, "I'm strong, I can do it Mom." 
+Mom smiled. "Good, let's get ready then."
+
+Tim put on his wetsuit and he and his mom went into the water. Tim was scared, but he kept looking at the surf and paddled out to the waves. With mom's help, he caught his first wave and he was so strong! He rode the wave all the way to the beach.

+It was a sunny day and the fisherman was ready for a fun day of fishing. He was very excited to go out on the lake and show off his creative fishing ideas.
+
+The fisherman got into his boat and pushed off the shore. He cast his rod out into the lake and waited. After a while, he managed to catch a small fish. He quickly pulled it out of the water, but before he could rejoice in his success, a huge storm came out of nowhere. The wind started blowing fiercely and the sky darkened.
+
+The fisherman quickly tried to turn back but he could not manage to get back to shore. He was rather inexperienced and it was clear that he had underestimated the powerful storm. He shouted for help, but it was too late. He was never found again and his boat eventually sunk.

+
+Sarah's parents were so sorry and immediately pulled her out of the water. They took her home and made her warm again. The moral of the story is to listen to the advice of your parents.

+She sidled up to the stand and greeted the vendor. She asked him what he had for sale. He smiled, and introduced her to his delicious desserts.
+
+However, she was ignorant of the value of money, so she asked the vendor if she could have the desserts for free. He replied that the desserts cost money, and she should understand that.
+
+The little girl was disappointed, but she realised that nothing in life is free. Just because something looks - and tastes - so delicious, it doesn't mean you can treat it as if it has no value.
+
+The little girl thanked the vendor for introducing her to the desserts, and she went away with a newfound appreciation for the value of money.
+Once upon a time there was a little girl, who was feeling very sick one day. Her mummy knew that it was time to take her to the doctor.
+
+At the doctor's office, the little girl was very nervous and afraid. The doctor smiled and said "Don't be scared, I'm here to help". She explained to the little girl that she was going to give her some medicine to help her feel better. 
+
+The little girl asked, "What is medicine?"  The doctor smiled and said, "Medicines are special liquids and pills that help us feel better when we are sick. Taking medicine is not always easy, it can be difficult to swallow". She put her hand over the little girls and said "But I'll be here to help you".
+
+The little girl smiled and said, "Okay, I'm ready to take my medicine!" The doctor beamed and gave her the medicine that she needed. 
+
+The little girl took the medicine, and before long, she was feeling better than ever. She thanked the doctor and gave her a hug. The doctor said, "You are so brave, I'm very proud of you". 
+
+The little girl went home feeling much better than before. From then on, she was no longer afraid to take medicine - because she knew that the doctor was there to explain things and to help her.
+Once upon a time, there were two friends, Bob and Tom. They liked playing together. One day, they wanted to do something special and so they decided to collect some cardboard boxes to build a fort.
+
+Tom found some nice cardboard and started to pick it up. Bob noticed and wanted to have some too. He was feeling very selfish, so he tried to steal Tom's cardboard. When Tom saw him, he got very mad and shouted, "That's not fair!"
+
+Bob realized how selfish he had been and apologized to Tom. Together, they made a nice fort out of the cardboard. They had a lot of fun playing in it. And from that day onwards, Bob remembered not to be selfish and to share things with his friends.
+Once upon a time a tire was very important to Bob. It was just the right size for his car and he used it every day. One day Bob took the tire to the garage. Suddenly the tire started to shrink! Bob asked the mechanic, “Why is the tire shrinking?â€
+
+The mechanic answered, “It's shrinking because it has a hole in it. It always shrinks when it gets a hole.†Bob sighed. He knew he needed to buy a new tire.
+
+The next day, Bob went to the store and bought a new tire. It was big and round and perfect for his car. Bob was so happy, and felt relieved that his important tire was back to normal. He thanked his mechanic for figuring out the problem.
+
+And they all lived happily ever after.
+Jack and Jill were playing in the living room. All of a sudden, a soft curtain appeared in the middle of the room. When Jack and Jill saw it, they jumped up in surprise.

+"What is that?" asked Jack.
+
+"I don't know," said Jill.
+
+They both came closer to get a better look. The soft curtain was very beautiful.
+
+It had different colors like pink, purple and white. Jack and Jill started playing with it. They pushed it back and forth and giggled at how soft it was.
+
+After a little while, they heard their mom calling them.
+
+"Jack! Jill! Time to come and eat dinner!"
+
+Jack and Jill reluctantly let go of the soft curtain and ran to the dinner table.  They couldn't help but wondering where the soft curtain had come from and where it had gone.
+Jack arrived at the playground with his friends, excited to have fun outside. As they began to play tag, Jack noticed a big bird with a red beak. The bird was so big, Jack was sure he hadn't seen one like it before. He ran up to the bird and yelled, "Hi birdie!"

+
+When Jack opened the pouch, out came a rainbow of powder. He was mesmerized and began to draw pictures with the powder. His friends started teasing him, telling him it was just silly dust and not worth playing with. Jack felt frustrated and wanted to prove them wrong, so he sprinkled the powder on the ground and waited.
+
+Suddenly the ground erupted in a garden of multicolored flowers. Jack's friends gasped, wide eyed, and Jack smiled triumphantly. He knew the bird's gift was special.

+
+The fairy was holding something in her hand. She said that it was a special promise. She said that if Tom took the promise, he would be able to do anything he wanted. But, the fairy warned Tom that the promise was fake. 
+
+Tom was brave and trusted the fairy. He decided to take the fake promise. He thought that it couldn't hurt to try. 
+
+Tom was very happy that he took the fake promise. As soon as he took it, his world came alive. He felt like he could do anything he wanted. Tom ran around and laughed. He felt like he could do anything!

+
+It flew high up into the sky, zooming as fast as it could. But then suddenly, it reached a patch of clouds. The clouds were so dense that the aeroplane couldn't go any further. It was totally stuck.
+
+The aeroplane looked around and then noticed two other aeroplanes. It spoke to them in a loud voice.
+
+Aeroplane: "What are you both doing here?"
+
+Other aeroplanes: "We are separating these clouds so that the sun can shine through."
+
+The clumsy aeroplane cheered. It had a great idea. It used its wings to separate the clouds. It worked! The clouds slowly moved apart and the sun shone through. The other aeroplanes were so happy.
+
+The crowded stayed back and enjoyed the sunshine together. It was the best adventure that the clumsy aeroplane ever had!

+
+The daddy said to her, "You can't come here no more and you can't eat any popcorn here ever again!"
+
+The little girl started to feel so sad because she loved popcorn and wanted to go to the modern movie theatre again. But the mommy and the daddy said no. The little girl had to sit at home and have no popcorn or movies. 
+
+The end.
+Once upon a time there lived a poor little man named Tom. Tom was very trusting of the wind, believing it could take him to new and wonderful places. One day, Tom decided to trust the wind and it took him to the edge of a mountain. 
+
+Tom peered over the edge and was amazed at what he saw. He decided to take one step forward to get a closer look. The wind began to blow and Tom started to slide down the mountain. He shouted, "Help me! Please, help me!"
+
+Tom's best friend, Joe, heard him and ran to the edge to help. The wind, however, had other plans. It blew harder, preventing Joe from grabbing Tom. Joe cried out, "I'm so sorry, Tom! I can't get to you!" 
+
+Tom was scared, but then he heard the wind whisper, "You trusted me, now trust yourself." Tom got an idea and he spread his arms out wide and let the wind take him away.
+
+When Tom was found, he had landed safely in a nearby valley. Unfortunately, he was too late. He had forgotten to trust himself sooner and was now in a coma. 
+
+Tom had trusted the wind, but it had betrayed him in the end.

+But when they get to the park, they see Max and Sam. Max and Sam are mean. They are in the big tree. They say, "This is our tree. Go away. You can't play here."
+
+Lily and Ben are angry. They say, "No, this is our tree. We have a plan. We want to make a fort under the tree. You go away. You can't play here."
+
+Max and Sam laugh. They say, "No, we won't go away. We like the tree. We have a plan too. We want to throw pine cones at you. Watch out!"
+
+They start to throw pine cones at Lily and Ben. Lily and Ben duck and run. They are scared and sad. They look for another place to play. They find a small hill. They say, "This is our hill. We can make a fort here. We don't need the tree. We don't like Max and Sam. They are mean."
+
+They start to make a fort on the hill. They use boxes and blankets and sticks. They have fun. They are happy. They forget about Max and Sam. They forget about the tree. They have a new plan. They want to play on the hill. They are friends.
+Ben and Lily liked to draw with ink. They had many colors of ink in small bottles. They used brushes to make pictures on paper. They had fun making animals, flowers, and shapes.
+
+One day, they wanted to draw a big sun. They needed a lot of yellow ink. Ben saw a big bottle of yellow ink on the shelf. He wanted to get it for Lily. He climbed on a chair and reached for the bottle. But the bottle was too heavy for him. He tried to pull it, but it slipped from his hand. It fell down and broke on the floor. The yellow ink spilled everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben cried. "Look what I did!"
+
+Lily heard the noise and came to see. She saw the broken bottle, the yellow ink, and Ben's worried face. She felt sorry for him. She said, "It's okay, Ben. It was an accident. Don't be sad."
+
+But Ben was sad. He liked the yellow ink. He wanted to draw a big sun. He said, "But now we can't draw a sun. We have no yellow ink."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She had an idea. She said, "We can still draw a sun. We can use other colors. We can mix them and make yellow."
+
+She showed Ben how to mix red and green ink. They made a new color. It was yellow. They smiled. They used the new yellow ink to draw a big sun. They also used the spilled yellow ink to make more pictures. They made stars, moons, and flowers. They had fun with the ink.
+
+They cleaned up the mess. They threw away the broken bottle. They put the paper on the wall. They looked at their pictures. They were proud of their work. They said, "We made a beautiful sun. And we learned something new. We can make yellow with red and green."
+
+They hugged each other. They were happy. They liked to draw with ink.
+Lily was a little girl who loved to hear stories. Every night, she would request a story from her mom or dad before she went to sleep. She liked stories about animals, princesses, and adventures.
+
+One night, she asked her dad for a story. Her dad looked troubled. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily, but I have a lot of work to do. I can't tell you a story tonight. Maybe tomorrow."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "But I want a story now! You always tell me stories. It's not fair!" She started to cry and kick her blanket.
+
+Her dad sighed and said, "Lily, I know you love stories, but sometimes I have other things to do. You have to be patient and understanding. Stories are not more important than work. Work helps us have food, clothes, and toys. Do you want me to lose my work?"
+
+Lily stopped crying and thought for a moment. She said, "No, I don't want you to lose your work. I want you to be happy. But I also want to hear stories. Can you tell me a short story? Please?"
+
+Her dad smiled and said, "Okay, I can tell you a short story. But you have to promise to go to sleep right after. Deal?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Deal. Thank you, dad. I love you."
+
+Her dad hugged her and said, "I love you too, Lily. Now, let me tell you a story about a brave mouse and a big cheese."
+
+Lily listened to the story and felt happy. She learned that she should not be selfish and demand things from others. She learned that she should respect her dad's work and be grateful for what he does. She learned that stories are a gift, not a right. She fell asleep with a smile on her face.
+Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They had a lot of fun toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They would kick it, throw it, and roll it in the park.
+
+One Wednesday, Tom and Lily went to the park with their ball. They saw some other kids playing there too. They wanted to join them and make new friends. They asked the other kids if they could play with them. The other kids said yes, but they had a mean plan.
+
+The other kids said they would play a game with Tom and Lily. The game was called "include". They said the rules were simple: one kid would have the ball, and the other kids would try to get it. If they got it, they would say "include" and pass it to another kid. But they would never pass it to Tom or Lily. They wanted to keep the ball for themselves.
+
+Tom and Lily did not know the other kids were lying. They tried to play the game, but they never got the ball. They ran and jumped and shouted, but the other kids ignored them. They said "include" to each other, but never to Tom or Lily. Tom and Lily felt sad and angry. They wanted their ball back.
+
+They decided to stop playing and get their ball. They ran to the kid who had the ball and tried to grab it. But the kid was stronger and faster. He pushed Tom and Lily away. He threw the ball over the fence, where Tom and Lily could not reach it. He laughed and said "include that!" The other kids laughed too. They ran away, leaving Tom and Lily alone.
+
+Tom and Lily cried. They had lost their ball and their new friends. They wished they had never played with them. They wished they had been more careful and reliable. They learned a hard lesson that Wednesday. They learned that some people are not nice, and some games are not fair. They learned that they should stick with their best friend, and their big red ball.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. One day, they decided to make a world in the sandbox. They used their shovels, buckets and toys to create mountains, rivers, roads and houses.
+
+"Look, Lily, this is my world," Ben said, pointing to his side of the sandbox. "It has a castle, a bridge and a dragon."
+
+"That's nice, Ben, but my world is better," Lily said, showing her side of the sandbox. "It has a farm, a lake and a unicorn."
+
+They both thought their worlds were the best, but they also wanted to see what the other had. They agreed to trade places and explore each other's worlds.
+
+Ben walked over to Lily's world and saw the farm. He liked the animals, especially the cow and the pig. He tried to pet them, but they were rough and dirty. He also saw the lake, but it was too wet and cold. He did not like Lily's world.
+
+Lily walked over to Ben's world and saw the castle. She liked the towers, the flags and the windows. She tried to climb them, but they were hard and sharp. She also saw the bridge, but it was too high and shaky. She did not like Ben's world.
+
+They both ran back to their own worlds and felt happy again. They realized that they liked different things, and that was okay. They also learned that they could gain more fun by sharing and respecting each other's worlds. They smiled and hugged and continued to play.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, it is very cold and icy. Anna and Ben want to go to the store. They put on their coats and hats and gloves.
+
+"Let's go to the store and buy some candy," Anna says.
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful. The ice is slippery," Ben says.
+
+They walk to the store. They hold hands. They see a big telephone on the street. It is red and shiny.
+
+"Look, a telephone! Let's call Mom and tell her where we are," Anna says.
+
+She lets go of Ben's hand and runs to the telephone. She picks it up and pushes some buttons.
+
+"Hello, Mom? It's Anna. We are at the store. Can we buy some candy?" she says.
+
+But Mom does not answer. The telephone is broken. It makes a loud noise. It hurts Anna's ear. She drops the telephone and cries.
+
+Ben hears Anna cry. He runs to her. He slips on the ice. He falls down. He hits his head on the ground. He bleeds. He does not move.
+
+Anna is scared. She does not know what to do. She screams for help. But no one hears her. The store is closed. The street is empty. The sky is dark. Anna and Ben are alone. They are cold and hurt. They are sad. The end.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a new girl sitting on a bench. She had a big bag with her.
+
+"Who is she?" Anna asked Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe she is new here. Do you want to say hello?" Ben said.
+
+Anna nodded. She and Ben walked to the bench. The new girl looked up and smiled.
+
+"Hi, I'm Anna and this is Ben. What is your name?" Anna said.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily. I just moved here with my mom and dad. It's nice to meet you." Lily said.
+
+"Nice to meet you too. Do you want to play with us?" Ben said.
+
+"Sure, I would love to. Can I show you something first?" Lily said.
+
+She opened her bag and took out a big white thing. It had green leaves on top.
+
+"What is that?" Anna asked.
+
+"It's a cauliflower. My mom gave it to me. She said it's good for you. Do you like it?" Lily said.
+
+Anna and Ben looked at the cauliflower. They had never seen it before.
+
+"I don't know. I never tried it. What does it taste like?" Ben said.
+
+"It tastes like...like...I don't know. It's crunchy and soft. Do you want to try some?" Lily said.
+
+She broke off a small piece and gave it to Anna. Anna took a bite. She made a face.
+
+"It's weird. I don't like it." Anna said.
+
+She gave the piece to Ben. Ben took a bite. He smiled.
+
+"I like it. It's yummy. Can I have more?" Ben said.
+
+Lily gave him another piece. She was happy that Ben liked her cauliflower.
+
+"Can I have some too?" Lily said.
+
+She took a piece and ate it. She liked it too.
+
+"See, it's not so bad. It's good for you." Lily said.
+
+Anna looked at them. She felt left out. She wanted to be friendly.
+
+"Maybe I can try it again. Maybe I will like it this time." Anna said.
+
+She took another piece and ate it. She tried to smile.
+
+"It's...it's not so bad. It's...it's okay." Anna said.
+
+Lily and Ben clapped their hands.
+
+"Yay, you did it. You are brave. You tried something new." Lily said.
+
+"Good job, Anna. You are a good friend. You gave it a chance." Ben said.
+
+Anna felt happy. She was glad that she tried the cauliflower. She was glad that she met Lily. She was glad that she had Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. Thank you for sharing your cauliflower. Thank you for being friendly." Anna said.
+
+"You're welcome, Anna. Thank you for being friendly too. Thank you for introducing yourself." Lily said.
+
+They hugged each other. They became friends.
+
+"Can we play now?" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, let's play. What do you want to play?" Lily said.
+
+They looked around the park. They saw the swings, the slide and the run.
+
+"Let's play everything!" Anna said.
+
+They laughed. They ran to the swings. They had fun. They played everything.
+Lily and Tom were brother and sister. They liked to play in their room with their toys and books. But today, their mom was very busy. She had to work on her computer and talk on the phone. She told Lily and Tom to be quiet and not bother her.
+
+Lily and Tom tried to be quiet, but they got bored. They wanted to have some fun. They saw their mom's big pillow on her bed. They thought it would be fun to jump on it and throw it around.
+
+"Let's play with the pillow!" Lily said to Tom.
+
+"OK, but don't mention it to mom. She might get mad," Tom said.
+
+They took the pillow and brought it to their room. They jumped on it and threw it around. They laughed and screamed. They did not hear their mom calling them.
+
+Their mom got very angry. She heard the noise and came to their room. She saw the pillow on the floor, ripped and dirty. She saw the feathers everywhere. She saw Lily and Tom with feathers in their hair and clothes.
+
+"What are you doing?" she yelled. "You ruined my pillow! How could you be so naughty?"
+
+Lily and Tom felt scared and sorry. They tried to say sorry, but their mom did not listen. She took the pillow and threw it in the trash. She took their toys and books and put them in a box. She said they could not play with them for a week. She said they had to stay in their room and be quiet.
+
+Lily and Tom cried. They hugged each other. They wished they had not played with the pillow. They wished they had been quiet and not bothered their mom. They had no fun at all. They had a bad day.
+Ben and Mia liked to play catch in the hall. They threw a soft ball to each other and laughed. They had to be careful not to hit the walls or the door. Mom said they could play until dinner was ready.
+
+One day, Ben had a new idea. He found a hard ball in his room. It was shiny and red. He thought it would be more fun to play with. He hid it behind his back and went to the hall. He saw Mia waiting for him.
+
+"Are you ready to play catch?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, I am!" Mia said. "Throw me the ball!"
+
+Ben smiled and threw the hard ball. He threw it very fast and hard. He wanted to surprise Mia. But Mia did not see the hard ball. She only saw a red blur. She reached out her hands to catch it.
+
+The hard ball hit Mia's nose. It hurt a lot. Mia cried out loud. She dropped the ball and held her nose. Blood came out of her nose. She was scared and sad.
+
+Ben saw what he did. He felt bad. He ran to Mia and hugged her. He said he was sorry. He did not mean to hurt her. He only wanted to play.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the hall. She saw Mia's nose and the hard ball. She was angry and worried. She took Mia to the bathroom and cleaned her nose. She put a band-aid on it. She told Ben to go to his room. She said he was not allowed to play with the hard ball anymore. She said he had to be gentle and kind with his sister.
+
+Ben went to his room. He felt sorry and sad. He wished he had not thrown the hard ball. He wished he had played with the soft ball. He wished he had not hurt Mia. He hoped Mia would forgive him. He hoped Mom would forgive him. He learned a lesson. He learned that hard balls are not good for playing catch in the hall.
+Lily liked to record stories with her toy phone. She would pretend to be a princess, a pirate, or a superhero. She would make up adventures and talk into the phone. Then she would play back her stories and listen to them.
+
+One day, she wanted to record a story about a tough lion who lived in the jungle. She thought of all the things the lion could do, like roar, hunt, and run. She picked up her phone and started to record.
+
+"Hello, I am the tough lion. I live in the jungle with my friends. I like to roar loud and scare the monkeys. I like to hunt for food and share with my friends. I like to run fast and jump over the river. I am the king of the jungle. No one can stop me. The end."
+
+She was happy with her story. She wanted to play it back and hear how it sounded. But when she pressed the button, nothing happened. She pressed it again and again, but still nothing. She looked at her phone and saw that the battery was low. She felt sad and angry. She had worked hard on her story, and now she could not hear it.
+
+She ran to her mom and showed her the phone. She said, "Mom, my phone is broken. I recorded a story about a tough lion, but I can not hear it. Can you fix it?"
+
+Her mom looked at the phone and saw the problem. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. Your phone is not broken. It just needs new batteries. I have some in the drawer. Let me get them and put them in your phone. Then you can hear your story."
+
+She took the phone and went to the drawer. She found some batteries and replaced the old ones. She gave the phone back to Lily and said, "Here you go, Lily. Your phone is working now. Let's hear your story."
+
+Lily pressed the button and heard her story. She smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I like my story. Do you want to hear it?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course, I do. I love your stories. You are very creative. Let's sit down and listen to your story together."
+
+They sat down on the couch and listened to Lily's story about the tough lion. They both enjoyed it and clapped at the end. Lily hugged her mom and said, "I love you, mom. You are my favorite person in the world."
+
+Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my favorite person in the world too."
+Lily liked to gaze at the pond. She saw many things in the water. She saw fish and frogs and ducks. But her favorite thing to see was the goose. The goose was big and white and had a long neck. Lily wanted to be friends with the goose.
+
+One day, Lily saw the goose in trouble. A mean dog was chasing the goose and barking loud. The goose was scared and tried to run away. Lily felt sad for the goose. She wanted to help the goose. She ran to the dog and shouted, "Stop! Leave the goose alone!"
+
+The dog was surprised by Lily. He stopped chasing the goose and looked at Lily. Lily was brave and stared at the dog. She said, "The goose is my friend. You are not nice. Go away!" The dog was ashamed and ran away. Lily was happy and proud.
+
+The goose was grateful to Lily. He came to Lily and gave her a gentle peck on the cheek. He made a soft honk to say thank you. Lily smiled and hugged the goose. She said, "You are welcome, goose. I am glad you are safe. You are a helpful friend. I like you." The goose liked Lily too. They became the best of friends. They gazed at the pond together and had fun.
+Lila was a little girl who liked to play in the valley. She had many friends there, like the birds, the flowers, and the stream. She was happy and kind to everyone.
+
+One day, she saw a big shiny stone in the stream. She wanted to have it, so she took it and put it in her pocket. She did not think about who it belonged to, or how they would feel.
+
+The next day, she came back to the valley, but everything was different. The birds did not sing, the flowers did not smile, and the stream did not sparkle. She wondered what was wrong.
+
+She saw a fairy sitting on a rock, looking sad. She asked her what happened. The fairy said, "That stone you took was my magic stone. It made the valley happy and beautiful. Without it, everything is dull and sad. You were selfish and greedy, and you hurt me and the valley."
+
+Lila felt sorry and ashamed. She realized she had done a bad thing. She took out the stone from her pocket and gave it back to the fairy. She said, "I'm sorry, fairy. I did not mean to make you and the valley unhappy. I was wrong to take your stone. Please forgive me."
+
+The fairy smiled and thanked her. She said, "I forgive you, Lila. You have learned your lesson. It is better to share and care than to take and keep. The stone is not mine, it belongs to the valley. You can enjoy it with me and the others, but you must not take it away."
+
+Lila nodded and hugged the fairy. She felt happy and relieved. The stone glowed and the valley came back to life. The birds sang, the flowers smiled, and the stream sparkled. Lila played with the fairy and the others, and never took anything that was not hers again. She was happy and kind to everyone.
+On Tuesday, Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw many birds in the sky. Some were big and some were small. Some were black and some were white. Some were loud and some were quiet.
+
+"Look, Mom, that bird is soaring!" Ben said, pointing to a hawk. "It is flying very high and fast. It can see everything from up there."
+
+"Yes, it is soaring, Ben. It is a very strong and smart bird. It can catch mice and rabbits for food," Mom said.
+
+"I want to soar too, Mom. Can I fly like a bird?" Lily asked, flapping her arms.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Lily. "You can't fly like a bird, Lily. But you can soar in other ways. You can soar with your imagination. You can soar with your dreams. You can soar with your love."
+
+Mom gave Lily a soft kiss on her cheek. Lily felt happy and warm. She closed her eyes and imagined she was soaring with the birds. She heard them sing and felt the wind on her face. She smiled and said, "I am soaring, Mom. I am soaring."
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Anna. Anna had a pretty dress and long hair. Lily liked to brush Anna's hair and make her shine.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Anna. She saw some other kids playing on the swings and slides. She wanted to join them, but she was shy. She held Anna close to her chest and watched them.
+
+"Hi, what's your name?" a boy asked her. He had a red cap and a big smile.
+
+Lily felt scared. She did not know the boy. She did not say anything.
+
+"Can I see your doll?" the boy asked. He reached out his hand.
+
+Lily felt angry. She did not want to share Anna. She pushed the boy's hand away.
+
+"Go away!" she shouted. "Anna is mine!"
+
+The boy looked sad. He walked away.
+
+Lily's mom saw what happened. She came over to Lily.
+
+"Lily, that was not nice," she said. "You should not push or shout at other kids. You should be kind and friendly. Maybe the boy just wanted to play with you and Anna."
+
+Lily felt ashamed. She knew her mom was right. She had been rude and mean. She looked at Anna. Anna did not shine anymore. She looked dull and sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," Lily said. "I'm sorry, boy. I'm sorry, Anna."
+
+She ran after the boy. She caught up with him.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily," she said. "Do you want to play with me and Anna?"
+
+The boy smiled. He nodded.
+
+"Sure, I'm Tom," he said. "Anna is a nice doll. Can I brush her hair?"
+
+Lily smiled. She nodded.
+
+"Okay, you can brush her hair. And I can try your cap."
+
+They sat down on a bench. They played with Anna and the cap. They laughed and talked.
+
+Lily's mom watched them. She was happy. She saw Lily and Anna shine again.
+Tim and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to look for new things and learn their names. Sometimes they found a flower, a bug, or a rock. They asked their mom or dad what they were and how to say them.
+
+One day, they saw a strange object on the grass. It was round and shiny and had a hole in the middle. They had never seen it before. They wondered what it was and what it did.
+
+"Look, Mia, what is this?" Tim asked, picking up the object.
+
+"I don't know, Tim. Maybe it is a toy. Can you make it do something?" Mia said, curious.
+
+Tim tried to shake it, spin it, and blow on it. But nothing happened. The object was silent and still. He felt frustrated. He wanted to understand what it was.
+
+"Maybe we can ask mom or dad. They know a lot of things. They can tell us what this is and what it does," Mia suggested.
+
+"Okay, let's go find them. Maybe they will like it too," Tim agreed.
+
+They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench. They showed them the object and asked them what it was.
+
+Mom and dad looked at the object and smiled. They recognized it. It was something they used to play with when they were little. It was a CD, a disc that had music or stories on it. They explained to Tim and Mia what it was and how it worked. They said they needed a special machine to play it.
+
+Tim and Mia were amazed. They had never heard of a CD or a machine that could play it. They wanted to hear the music or stories on it. They asked mom and dad if they had such a machine at home.
+
+Mom and dad nodded. They said they had one in the attic, but they had not used it for a long time. They said they could take it out and show it to Tim and Mia later.
+
+Tim and Mia were excited. They thanked mom and dad and hugged them. They put the CD in their backpack and waited for the time to go home. They hoped the machine would work and the CD would play. They wanted to understand the unknown object and enjoy its sounds.
+Lily and Tom liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, run, and swing. They liked to hear the sounds of the birds, the wind, and the other kids.
+
+One day, they saw a new swing. It was big and shiny. It had a long chain and a round seat. Lily and Tom wanted to try it.
+
+"Can I go first?" Lily asked.
+
+"OK, but only for a little bit," Tom said.
+
+Lily climbed on the seat and held the chain. Tom pushed her gently. Lily felt happy. She swung higher and higher. She laughed and shouted.
+
+But then, something bad happened. The chain broke. Lily fell down. She hit the ground hard. She felt pain. She cried.
+
+Tom ran to her. He was scared. He saw blood on her knee. He heard a dull sound. It was the broken chain hitting the swing.
+
+"Are you OK?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, it hurts!" Lily said.
+
+Tom hugged her. He tried to make her feel better. He said sorry.
+
+A lady came. She was the park keeper. She saw what happened. She was angry. She said the swing was not for kids. It was for grown-ups. She said someone had left it there by mistake. She said she would call for help.
+
+Lily and Tom learned a lesson. They should not play with things they do not know. They should be careful and safe. They should listen to the sounds of the park. They should not make dull sounds.
+Tom and Anna liked to play knights and dragons in the park. Tom had a big shield that he made from a cardboard box. Anna had a long stick that she pretended was a sword. They skipped around the trees and bushes, looking for a dragon to fight.
+
+"Look, Tom, there is a dragon!" Anna shouted, pointing to a big rock. "Let's go and fight it!"
+
+Tom and Anna ran towards the rock, holding their shield and sword. They made loud noises to scare the dragon. But the rock did not move or make any sound. It was just a rock.
+
+"Maybe this is not a real dragon," Tom said, feeling disappointed. "Maybe it is a sleeping dragon."
+
+"Or maybe it is a friendly dragon," Anna said, feeling curious. She touched the rock with her stick. "Hello, dragon, are you awake?"
+
+Suddenly, the rock moved and opened its eyes. It was not a rock, it was a turtle! The turtle looked at Tom and Anna and blinked. It was not a dragon, it was a pet.
+
+"Oops, sorry, turtle," Anna said, feeling embarrassed. "We thought you were a dragon."
+
+The turtle did not mind. It liked to play with Tom and Anna. It let them pet its shell and feed it some grass. Tom and Anna learned that the turtle's name was Max and that he lived in the park with his owner.
+
+"Max, you are a very useful turtle," Tom said, smiling. "You can be our shield and our friend."
+
+Anna agreed. She gave Max a hug and said, "You are a very nice turtle. You can be our sword and our friend."
+
+Max was happy. He liked to be useful and nice. He skipped with Tom and Anna around the park, playing knights and dragons and having fun.
+Anna loves her blue comb. She uses it every day to make her hair look nice. She likes to comb her hair in front of the mirror and sing a song. She thinks her comb is very pretty and shiny.
+
+One day, Anna's brother Tom sees her blue comb on the table. He thinks it is a toy and he grabs it. He runs away with the comb and laughs. Anna is very sad and angry. She wants her comb back. She chases Tom around the house and shouts, "Give me my comb! Give me my comb!"
+
+Tom runs into his room and closes the door. He plays with the comb and pretends it is a car. He makes vroom-vroom noises and zooms the comb on the floor. He does not hear Anna knocking on the door and crying, "Please, Tom, please, give me my comb!"
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Anna outside Tom's door and asks her, "What is the matter, Anna? Why are you so upset?" Anna tells Mom that Tom took her blue comb and he won't give it back. Mom says, "That is not nice of Tom. He should not take your things without asking. Let me talk to him."
+
+Mom opens Tom's door and sees him playing with the comb. She says, "Tom, what are you doing with Anna's comb? That is not your toy. That is her comb. She needs it to comb her hair. You should give it back to her and say sorry." Tom looks at Mom and says, "But I like the comb. It is fun. It is blue. It is mine." Mom says, "No, Tom, it is not yours. It is Anna's. She loves her comb very much. How would you feel if she took your toy truck and did not give it back?" Tom thinks for a moment and says, "I would feel sad and angry. I would want my truck back." Mom says, "That is how Anna feels right now. She wants her comb back. You should be a good brother and share with her. Can you do that?" Tom nods and says, "Yes, Mom, I can do that. I am sorry, Anna. Here is your comb. I won't take it again." He gives the comb to Anna and smiles.

+Anna is very happy and relieved. She takes her comb and says, "Thank you, Tom. Thank you for giving me my comb back. I am sorry for shouting at you. Do you want to play with me?" Tom says, "Yes, Anna, I want to play with you. You are my sister and I love you." They hug each other and say sorry. Mom is proud of them and says, "That is very nice of you, Tom and Anna. You are good children. You can play together with your toys, but remember to ask before you take something that is not yours. And remember to be kind and gentle with each other." Tom and Anna say, "Yes, Mom, we will. We love you, Mom." They hug Mom and then go to play. They are happy and they are friends.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. But today, they have to go to a meeting with Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad are grumpy. They say the meeting is important and boring.
+
+Anna and Ben do not want to go. They want to stay home and watch cartoons. They hide under the bed and make funny noises. Mom and Dad call them to dress and get ready. Anna and Ben do not listen. They giggle and whisper.
+
+Mom and Dad come to their room. They look under the bed and see Anna and Ben. They are not happy. They say, "Anna and Ben, you are naughty. You have to dress and come with us. The meeting is soon. Hurry up!"
+
+Anna and Ben crawl out from under the bed. They make faces and stick out their tongues. They say, "We do not want to dress. We do not want to go. The meeting is stupid. We want to play."
+
+Mom and Dad sigh and shake their heads. They say, "Anna and Ben, you have to dress and go. The meeting is not stupid. It is about your school and your teacher. You have to be polite and listen. Maybe you will learn something new."
+
+Anna and Ben roll their eyes and groan. They say, "Fine. We will dress and go. But we will not like it. We will be bored and grumpy."
+
+Mom and Dad smile and hug them. They say, "Thank you. We love you. We promise the meeting will not be too long. And after the meeting, we will get ice cream and watch cartoons. How does that sound?"
+
+Anna and Ben perk up and nod. They say, "That sounds good. We love you too. We will dress and go. And we will try to be nice and quiet."
+
+Mom and Dad help them dress and comb their hair. They hold their hands and walk to the car. They hope the meeting will go well and the twins will behave. They also hope the ice cream and cartoons will make them happy and forget their grumpiness.
+Tim and Jen are friends who like to play on the farm. They love to see the animals and feed them. One day, they find a big sack of corn in the barn. They decide to share it with the chickens, the pigs and the cows.
+
+"Look, Jen, we have so much corn!" Tim says. "Let's feed the animals and make them happy!"
+
+"OK, Tim, that sounds fun!" Jen says. "But we have to be careful not to spill the corn or make a mess."
+
+They take some corn from the sack and walk to the chicken coop. They throw the corn on the ground and watch the chickens peck and cluck. The chickens are happy and make loud noises.
+
+"Wow, the chickens love the corn!" Jen says. "They are so noisy!"
+
+"Let's feed the pigs next!" Tim says. "They are hungry too!"
+
+They take some more corn from the sack and walk to the pig pen. They pour the corn into a big trough and watch the pigs snort and munch. The pigs are happy and make funny sounds.
+
+"Look, the pigs love the corn too!" Tim says. "They are so messy!"
+
+"Let's feed the cows last!" Jen says. "They are gentle and calm."
+
+They take the rest of the corn from the sack and walk to the cow pasture. They hold the corn in their hands and let the cows lick and chew. The cows are happy and make soft sounds.
+
+"Wow, the cows love the corn as well!" Jen says. "They are so sweet!"
+
+They pat the cows on their heads and say goodbye. They walk back to the barn and put the empty sack away. They are proud of themselves for being generous and feeding the animals.
+
+"Tim, Jen, what have you been doing?" a voice says. It is the farmer, who owns the farm and the animals.
+
+"We have been feeding the animals, sir!" Tim says. "We found a sack of corn and we shared it with them!"
+
+"Is that so?" the farmer says. "Well, that was very kind and generous of you! The animals are very lucky to have you as friends. But you know what? That sack of corn was a special treat for them. It was not their regular food. You should always ask me before you feed them anything, OK?"
+
+"OK, sir, we are sorry!" Tim and Jen say. "We did not know that. We just wanted to make them happy!"
+
+"I understand, and I appreciate your good intentions. But you have to be careful with what you feed the animals. Some things might be bad for them or make them sick. Next time, I will show you what they eat and how much they need. How does that sound?"
+
+"That sounds good, sir!" Tim and Jen say. "Thank you for letting us play on your farm and feed your animals!"
+
+"You are welcome, Tim and Jen. You are very good kids. Now, how about some cookies and milk as a reward?" the farmer says.
+
+"Yay, cookies and milk!" Tim and Jen say. "Thank you, sir, you are very generous too!"
+
+They follow the farmer to his house and enjoy some cookies and milk. They are happy and full. They have learned a lesson and made some friends. They love the farm and the animals. They can't wait to come back and play again.
+Tom and Lily were playing outside with chalk. They liked to pretend they were drawing big pictures on the sidewalk. Tom drew a house with a door and a window. Lily drew a flower with many colors.
+
+"Look at my house!" Tom said. "It has a door and a window. You can come inside and play with me."
+
+"Look at my flower!" Lily said. "It has many colors. You can smell it and be happy."
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other's drawings. They both thought their own drawings were better.
+
+"My house is better than your flower!" Tom said. "A house is big and strong. A flower is small and weak."
+
+"No, my flower is better than your house!" Lily said. "A flower is pretty and nice. A house is boring and plain."
+
+Tom and Lily started to argue. They raised their voices and made angry faces. They did not want to share their chalk or their sidewalk.
+
+A lady was walking by with her dog. She saw Tom and Lily fighting. She felt sad for them. She was a compassionate lady. She wanted to help them.
+
+"Hello, children," she said. "Why are you fighting? You have such beautiful drawings. You should be proud of them."
+
+Tom and Lily stopped arguing. They looked at the lady and her dog. The dog was wagging its tail and smiling.
+
+"We are fighting because we think our drawings are better than each other's," Tom said.
+
+"But you can both have good drawings," the lady said. "You don't have to compare them. You can appreciate them for what they are. You can also learn from each other. Maybe you can draw something together with your chalk. Something that has both a house and a flower."
+
+Tom and Lily thought about what the lady said. They felt sorry for being mean to each other. They decided to try to draw something together.
+
+"Thank you, lady," they said. "You are very kind. We will draw something together. Something that has both a house and a flower."
+
+The lady smiled and waved. She walked away with her dog. Tom and Lily picked up their chalk and started to draw. They drew a big garden with a house and many flowers. They had fun and became friends again. They learned to be compassionate and to share their chalk and their sidewalk.
+Ben and Mia liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was the volcano. The volcano was big and red and made of plastic. It had a hole on the top where they could put baking soda and vinegar and make it erupt.
+
+One day, Ben and Mia were playing with the volcano in the backyard. They had a lot of fun making it erupt and watching the foam come out. They pretended they were explorers and the volcano was a real one.
+
+"Look, Mia, the volcano is angry!" Ben said. "It is making a lot of noise and smoke!"
+
+"Yes, Ben, it is scary!" Mia said. "But we are brave and we can escape!"
+
+They ran away from the volcano and hid behind a tree. They laughed and waited for the eruption to stop.
+
+But then, they heard a loud crash. They looked and saw that their dog, Rex, had knocked over the volcano. Rex was curious and wanted to see what was inside. He bit the volcano and broke it into pieces. The baking soda and vinegar spilled everywhere.
+
+"Rex, no!" Ben and Mia shouted. "You ruined our volcano!"
+
+They ran to the volcano and tried to fix it. But it was too late. The volcano was broken and could not erupt anymore. Ben and Mia were very sad and angry. They loved their volcano and now it was gone.
+
+"Bad dog, Rex!" Ben said. "You are a naughty dog! You have to replace our volcano!"
+
+But Rex did not understand. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He thought they were playing with him. He did not know he had done something wrong.
+
+Ben and Mia cried and hugged their volcano. They wished they had another one. But they did not. They had to play with something else. But nothing was as fun as the volcano. They missed their volcano very much. The end.
+Anna and Ben like to play with their toys. They have cars, dolls, blocks and books. One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a sign that says "Stop". It is red and white and has a stick.
+
+"Look, a sign!" Anna says. "We can use it for our game."
+
+"What game?" Ben asks.
+
+"We can pretend we are driving and we have to stop at the sign," Anna says. "It will be fun."
+
+"OK," Ben says. He picks up a car and makes it go vroom. Anna picks up a doll and puts it in another car.
+
+They play for a while, taking turns to stop at the sign. They laugh and have fun. Then, Anna has an idea.
+
+"Let's learn what the sign says," she says. "I know how to read some words. Do you?"
+
+"No," Ben says. He feels sad. He wants to learn too.
+
+"It's easy," Anna says. She points to the sign. "This word is 'stop'. It means you have to stop. Can you say it?"
+
+"Stop," Ben says.
+
+"Good," Anna says. "Now, this word is 'fake'. It means it is not real. It is just a toy. Can you say it?"
+
+"Fake," Ben says.
+
+"Very good," Anna says. She smiles. She thinks she is very smart.
+
+Then, she has another idea.
+
+"Let's go outside and play with the sign," she says. "We can put it on the road and make the cars stop."
+
+"No, that's not a good idea," Ben says. He feels scared. He knows the cars are real and fast. "The sign is fake. It will not work."
+
+"Don't be silly," Anna says. "It will work. Come on, it will be fun."
+
+She grabs the sign and runs outside. Ben follows her. He does not want to be alone.
+
+They go to the road and see a big car coming. Anna puts the sign on the road and waves at the car. She thinks the car will stop.
+
+But the car does not stop. The car does not see the sign. The car is too fast. The car hits the sign and breaks it. The sign flies in the air and hits Anna. Anna falls down and cries. She is hurt.
+
+Ben runs to Anna and tries to help her. He is scared and sad. He wishes they did not play with the sign. He wishes they listened to him.
+
+The car stops and the driver gets out. He is angry and worried. He sees Anna and Ben and the sign. He knows what happened.
+
+He calls for help and talks to them. He says they are very naughty and stupid. He says they could have died. He says they should never play with signs. He says signs are not toys. He says signs are important and real.
+
+Anna and Ben learn a hard lesson. They learn that signs are not toys. They learn that fake things can be dangerous. They learn that they should not lie and pretend. They learn that they should listen and be careful.
+
+They are sorry and sad. They wish they could go back and play with their toys. They wish they could forget the sign. They wish they could have a good ending. But they can't.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play pretend. Today they pretend to be pirates. They have a big box for a ship and a paper for a map.
+
+"Arrr, matey, where is the treasure?" Tom asks Sara. He holds the map and looks at it.
+
+Sara points to a spot on the paper. "There, on the island. We have to sail there and dig."
+
+They move the box to the other side of the room. They pretend to see waves and sharks. They make noises like "woosh" and "snap".
+
+They reach the island. They get out of the box and look for a shovel. They find one in the closet. They start to dig on the floor.
+
+"Look, look, I found something!" Sara shouts. She pulls out a small metal pot. It is shiny and round.
+
+"What is it?" Tom asks. He comes closer and looks at the pot.
+
+"Maybe it is a pirate's cook pot. Maybe they cooked soup or stew in it," Sara says. She opens the lid and looks inside.
+
+But the pot is empty. There is nothing in it. Sara and Tom feel sad.
+
+"Aw, no treasure. Just an empty cook pot," Tom says.
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. Then she smiles. She has an idea.
+
+"Hey, we can still use it. We can pretend to cook our own soup or stew. We can use toys and pillows for food. It will be fun," she says.
+
+Tom likes the idea. He smiles too.
+
+"Okay, let's do that. You be the cook and I'll be the helper. What do we need?" he says.
+
+Sara and Tom run to get toys and pillows. They put them in the pot. They stir and taste. They pretend to eat and enjoy.
+
+They have fun. They forget about the empty cook pot. They make their own treasure.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a lot of dirt and rocks. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side.
+
+They ran up the hill, holding hands. They were happy and excited. They reached the top and looked around. They saw a lot of trees and flowers and birds. They also saw a big hole in the ground. It was a pit.
+
+"Wow, look at that pit!" Tom said. "I wonder what is inside."
+
+"Maybe there are bugs or worms or snakes," Lila said. "Or maybe there is treasure or candy or toys."
+
+They were curious and brave. They decided to go closer and peek inside the pit. They walked slowly and carefully. They did not want to fall or get hurt.
+
+They reached the edge of the pit and leaned over. They saw nothing but darkness and dirt. They felt a cold wind blowing from the pit. It was harsh and scary.
+
+"Hello, hello, hello!" Tom shouted into the pit. He wanted to hear his echo.
+
+But instead of his echo, he heard a loud roar. It was a bear. It was angry and hungry. It lived in the pit. It did not like visitors.
+
+"ROAR!" The bear roared. It jumped out of the pit. It was big and brown and furry. It had sharp teeth and claws. It wanted to eat Lila and Tom.
+
+"Run, run, run!" Lila screamed. She grabbed Tom's hand and pulled him away. They turned and ran down the hill. They were terrified and shocked.
+
+They ran as fast as they could. They did not look back. They reached the bottom of the hill and ran to their parents. They hugged them and told them what happened.
+
+Their parents were surprised and worried. They told them to never go near the pit again. They said it was dangerous and forbidden. They said they were lucky and brave.
+
+Lila and Tom nodded and agreed. They learned their lesson. They did not want to see the bear again. They decided to play somewhere else. They liked the swings and the slides better. They were safe and fun.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toy guns in the garden. They liked to pretend they were cowboys and robbers. Ben had a big gun that made a loud noise when he pulled the trigger. Lily had a small gun that was quiet and cheap.
+
+"Bang, bang, bang!" Ben shouted, as he shot at Lily. "I got you, robber! You have to fall down and give me your money!"
+
+"No, you didn't!" Lily said, as she dodged behind a tree. "You missed me, cowboy! Your gun is too slow and noisy. My gun is faster and smarter. Pew, pew, pew!" She shot back at Ben.
+
+Ben felt a tickle on his arm. He looked and saw a red dot. It was the result of Lily's gun. It was a sticker gun that put stickers on whatever it shot. Ben was surprised and angry.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" He complained. "Your gun is cheating! It sticks to me and I can't get it off. That's a cheap trick!"
+
+Lily laughed and ran towards him. "It's not cheating, it's fun!" She said. "And it's not cheap, it's clever. Look, I have more stickers for you. Come here, cowboy, and let me shoot you some more!"
+Lily loved to chew. She chewed her food, her toys, her clothes and sometimes even her hair. She liked to make loud noises with her mouth when she chewed, like a lion or a crocodile. Her mum and dad told her to stop chewing things that were not food, but Lily did not listen.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big aeroplane in the sky. She wanted to chew it. She thought it would be crunchy and tasty, like a biscuit. She ran to the garden and jumped as high as she could, but she could not reach the aeroplane. She tried to climb a tree, but she fell down and hurt her knee. She cried and cried, and her mum came to hug her.
+
+Her mum was kind. She cleaned Lily's knee and put a bandage on it. She gave Lily a glass of milk and a real biscuit. She told Lily that she could not chew the aeroplane, because it was too far away and too big and not food. She said that the aeroplane was for people to travel and see new places. She showed Lily a book with pictures of different countries and animals and flowers. Lily liked the book. She stopped crying and smiled.
+
+She asked her mum if they could go on the aeroplane one day and see the world. Her mum said yes, maybe when Lily was older and bigger. She said that Lily had to be good and not chew things that were not food. She said that Lily had to brush her teeth and eat healthy food and listen to her mum and dad. Lily nodded and said okay. She hugged her mum and said thank you. She finished her biscuit and milk and looked at the book. She did not want to chew the aeroplane anymore. She wanted to see it.
+Anna was hungry. She wanted to eat toast with jam. She asked her mom, "Can I have toast, please?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, you can. But you have to be careful. Toast is hot. Do you know how to make toast?"
+
+Anna nodded. She had seen mom make toast many times. She went to the kitchen. She took a slice of bread. She put it in the toaster. She pushed the lever down. She waited for the toast to pop up.
+
+She heard a ding. The toast was ready. She reached for it. But it was too hot. She burned her finger. She cried, "Ow, ow, ow!"
+
+Mom heard her cry. She ran to the kitchen. She saw Anna holding her finger. She said, "Oh, no! Are you okay? Let me see your finger."
+
+She took Anna's finger. She put it under cold water. She said, "This will help. It will make the pain go away. You have to be more careful, Anna. Toast is very hot. You have to wait for it to cool down. Or you have to use a fork or a napkin to take it out."
+
+Anna said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was too hungry. I wanted to eat toast. I didn't recognize how hot it was."
+
+Mom said, "It's okay, Anna. I understand. You were hungry. But you have to be more careful. Next time, ask me to help you. Or wait for the toast to cool down. Okay?"
+
+Anna said, "Okay, mom. Thank you for helping me. Can I still have toast?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, you can. But let me make it for you. I will put some jam on it. Do you want strawberry or grape?"
+
+Anna said, "Strawberry, please. I love strawberry jam."
+
+Mom said, "Me too. Here you go. Enjoy your toast. But be careful. Don't burn your tongue."
+
+Anna said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love toast."
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They saw a big tree with green and yellow fruits. They wanted to try them.
+
+"Look, Lily, pears!" Tom said. "They look yummy. Can we have some?"
+
+"Yes, Tom, let's get some. But they are too high. How can we reach them?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom had an idea. He saw a big box near the fence. He ran to get it and brought it to the tree. He put it under a branch with a pear.
+
+"Here, Lily, stand on the box. Then you can lift the pear and pick it," Tom said.
+
+Lily climbed on the box and reached for the pear. She lifted it with both hands and pulled it off the branch. She was happy.
+
+"Yay, I got one! Thank you, Tom. Do you want to share it?" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, please. Let's sit under the tree and eat it," Tom said.
+
+They sat down and broke the pear in half. They took a bite and smiled. It was sweet and juicy.
+
+"Mmm, this is a delicious pear. I like it," Tom said.
+
+"Me too. It is the best pear ever. We are lucky," Lily said.
+
+They finished the pear and hugged each other. They were happy and full. They decided to play some more in the garden. They loved pears and each other.
+Sara loves her dog, Max. Max is big and brown and has a soft fur. Sara likes to hug Max and play with him in the park. Max has a red collar with a shiny tag. The tag has Max's name and Sara's phone number.
+
+One day, Sara gets a new toy. It is a small camera that can record sounds and pictures. Sara wants to record Max and show her friends. She puts the camera on Max's collar and turns it on. Then she says, "Come on, Max, let's go for a walk!"
+
+Sara and Max walk around the park. They see many things. They see birds and flowers and trees. They see other dogs and people. Max barks and wags his tail. Sara talks to Max and tells him he is a good boy. The camera records everything.
+
+When they get home, Sara takes the camera off Max's collar. She plugs it into her laptop and watches the video. She sees Max's beautiful face and hears his happy voice. She sees the park and all the things they saw. She hears her own voice and laughs. She thinks, "This is the best video ever!"
+
+She calls her friends and invites them over. She wants to show them her video. She says, "You have to see this! I recorded Max and he is so cute!" Her friends come and watch the video. They all agree that Max is the most beautiful dog in the world. They all hug Max and give him treats. Max is very happy. Sara is very happy. She loves her dog and her new toy.
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play together at school. Today, they are hungry. They go to the lunch room with their teacher.
+
+"Look, Lily, we have sandwiches and apples for lunch. Do you like them?" Max asks.
+
+"Yes, I do. They are normal and good. What do you have on your sandwich?" Lily answers.
+
+"I have cheese and ham. Do you want to try some?" Max offers.
+
+"OK, thank you. I will give you some of mine too. I have peanut butter and jelly." Lily says.
+
+They trade some of their sandwiches and eat them. They are happy and full. They drink some milk and water. Then, they go back to their classroom.
+
+"Did you have a good lunch, Lily and Max?" their teacher asks.
+
+"Yes, we did. We had normal and yummy lunch. We shared our sandwiches and apples." Lily and Max say.
+
+"That's very nice of you. Sharing is caring. I'm glad you enjoyed your lunch." their teacher says.
+
+Lily and Max smile. They are good friends. They like normal lunch.
+Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tim had a red car and Lily had a yellow doll. They were having fun, making noises and pretending to drive and talk.
+
+But then Tim saw Lily's doll and wanted it. He thought it was prettier than his car. He waited until Lily looked away and then he grabbed the doll. He ran to the other side of the room and hid behind the couch.
+
+Lily saw that her doll was gone and started to cry. She looked around and saw Tim's car on the floor. She was angry and sad. She picked up the car and threw it at Tim.
+
+Tim heard the car flying towards him and ducked. The car missed him and hit the window. The window broke with a loud crash. Glass flew everywhere and made a big mess.
+
+Mom and Dad heard the noise and came running. They saw the broken window, the glass, the car and the doll. They were very mad. They asked Tim and Lily what happened. Tim felt guilty. He knew he did a bad thing. He tried to lie and say that the car jumped by itself. But Mom and Dad did not believe him. They knew he took Lily's doll and made her angry.
+
+Mom and Dad scolded Tim and Lily. They said they were naughty and selfish. They said they had to pay for the window and clean up the glass. They said they had to share their toys and say sorry to each other. They said they had no more playtime today. They took away their toys and sent them to their rooms.
+
+Tim and Lily were very unhappy. They wished they had not fought over the doll. They wished they had been nice and kind. They learned a hard lesson. They hoped Mom and Dad would forgive them. But they knew they had to wait a long time.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box. It has a sign that says "Send to Santa". Anna and Ben are curious. They want to know what is inside the box.
+
+"Let's open it!" Ben says.
+
+"No, we can't. It is not ours. It is for Santa." Anna says.
+
+"But maybe it has something nice. Maybe it has toys or candy." Ben says.
+
+He tries to lift the lid of the box. But it is too heavy. He can't open it.
+
+"Help me, Anna!" Ben says.
+
+Anna shakes her head. She does not want to help. She thinks it is wrong to open the box. She thinks Santa will be mad.
+
+"Come on, Anna. It will be fun. Just a little peek." Ben says.
+
+He pulls Anna's arm. Anna feels scared. She does not want to make Ben sad. But she does not want to make Santa sad either. She does not know what to do.
+
+She looks at the box. She sees something shiny. It is a strand of hair. It is hidden under the lid. It is red and long. It looks like Anna's hair.
+
+Anna gasps. She remembers. Last week, she cut her hair. She did not like it. It was too long and messy. She wanted to have short and neat hair like Ben. She cut her hair with scissors. She hid the scissors and the hair under her bed. She did not tell anyone.
+
+But someone found her hair. Someone put it in the box. Someone wanted to send it to Santa.
+
+Anna feels a chill. She knows who did it. It was her brother. He was mad at her. He wanted to get her in trouble. He wanted to make Santa think she was bad.
+
+Anna pulls her arm away from Ben. She runs away from the box. She does not want to see it. She does not want to see her hair. She does not want to see Santa.
+
+She cries. She wishes she did not cut her hair. She wishes she did not have a mean brother. She wishes she had a nice friend like Ben.
+
+She hopes Santa will forgive her. She hopes Ben will find her. She hopes the box will go away.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. They had to chase it before it went too far.
+
+One time, the ball rolled into the street. Anna and Ben did not see the big car coming. The car hit the ball and made a loud noise. The ball popped and flew in the air. Anna and Ben were scared and sad. They wanted their ball back.
+
+The car stopped and a man got out. He was sorry and he said he would buy them a new ball. He also called an ambulance to check if they were hurt. Anna and Ben heard the siren and saw the flashing lights. They had never seen an ambulance before. They wondered what it was.
+
+The ambulance came and two people got out. They wore white clothes and had a big bag. They smiled and said hello to Anna and Ben. They asked them if they were okay and if they felt any pain. They checked their heads, their arms, and their legs. They said they were very brave and lucky. They gave them stickers and candy.
+
+Anna and Ben felt better and thanked the people. They said they were incredible and they liked their stickers and candy. The people said they were welcome and they were happy to help. They said they had to go and help other people who needed them. They said goodbye and got back in the ambulance. They turned on the siren and the lights and drove away.
+
+Anna and Ben waved to them and watched them go. They still missed their ball, but they were glad they were not hurt. They learned to be careful and not to play in the street. They also learned that ambulances were good and they helped people who were in trouble. They hoped they would see them again, but not because they were hurt. They hoped they would see them again, because they were incredible.
+Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big melon growing on a vine. They wanted to pick it and eat it, but their mom said no. She said the melon was not ripe yet, and they had to wait.
+
+Tim and Lily were grumpy. They did not want to wait. They wanted the melon now. They thought of a plan. They took a bucket of water and poured it on the melon. They hoped the water would make the melon grow faster and become ripe.
+
+But they did not know that too much water was bad for the melon. The water made the melon increase too much. It became too big and too heavy for the vine. The vine broke and the melon fell to the ground. It cracked open and spilled its seeds and juice everywhere.
+
+Tim and Lily were sad. They had ruined the melon. They knew their mom would be angry. They ran to the house and hid under the bed. They wished they had listened to their mom and waited for the melon to be ripe.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But they also like to help their mom and dad. Mom and dad work hard to get money. Money is what they use to buy food and clothes and other things.
+
+One day, mom and dad tell Anna and Ben that they have a surprise for them. They say they have a big box with something special inside. Anna and Ben are very excited. They wonder what it is. They ask mom and dad to open the box.
+
+Mom and dad say no. They say they have to wait until tomorrow. They say tomorrow is a special day. It is their birthday. Anna and Ben are happy. They love their birthday. They get cake and candles and presents.
+
+Mom and dad say they have to wrap the box first. They say wrapping is when you cover something with paper and tape and ribbon. They say wrapping makes the box look pretty and fun. They say wrapping is also a way to show love.
+
+Anna and Ben want to help. They ask mom and dad if they can wrap the box. Mom and dad say yes. They give them some paper and tape and ribbon. They show them how to cut and fold and stick. Anna and Ben try their best. They have fun. But wrapping is not easy. The paper is rough and tears. The tape is sticky and sticks to their fingers. The ribbon is curly and hard to tie. The box looks messy and funny.
+
+Mom and dad smile. They say they love the box. They say they love Anna and Ben. They say they are the best wrappers ever. They hug and kiss them. Anna and Ben are happy. They say they love mom and dad. They say they are the best parents ever. They hug and kiss them back. They can't wait to see what is inside the box. They hope it is something they can play with and share. They hope it is something that shows love.
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play at the gym. The gym has many things to do. They can run, jump, slide, and hang.
+
+One day, they go to the gym with their moms. They see a big rope. The rope is hanging from the ceiling. Lily and Max want to try it.
+
+"Look, Max, a rope!" Lily says. "Let's hang on it!"
+
+"OK, Lily, let's go!" Max says. They run to the rope.
+
+They take turns to hang on the rope. They swing and laugh. They have fun.
+
+But the rope is filthy. It is dirty and sticky. It makes their hands filthy too.
+
+"Yuck, Lily, the rope is filthy!" Max says. He looks at his hands. They are brown and gooey.
+
+"Yuck, Max, you are right!" Lily says. She looks at her hands. They are also brown and gooey.
+
+They drop the rope. They run to their moms.
+
+"Moms, moms, the rope is filthy!" they say. "Our hands are filthy too!"
+
+Their moms look at their hands. They are shocked.
+
+"Oh, no, Lily and Max, what did you do?" their moms say. "The rope is filthy! You need to wash your hands!"
+
+They take Lily and Max to the bathroom. They wash their hands with soap and water. They scrub and rinse. They make their hands clean again.
+
+"Sorry, moms, we didn't know the rope was filthy," Lily and Max say.
+
+"It's OK, Lily and Max, you didn't mean to," their moms say. "But next time, be careful what you touch. Some things are filthy and can make you sick."
+
+Lily and Max nod. They hug their moms. They are happy. They still like to play at the gym. But they don't touch the filthy rope anymore.
+Lila and Sam were very hot and thirsty. They had been walking in the sand for a long time. They wanted to find water and shade. They saw a big hill in front of them. Maybe there was something good behind it.
+
+"Come on, Lila, let's go faster!" Sam said. He was holding a purple scarf that his mom had given him. He liked to perform magic tricks with it.
+
+"OK, Sam, but I'm tired," Lila said. She was holding a yellow ball that her dad had given her. She liked to bounce it and catch it.
+
+They climbed the hill and looked down. They saw a beautiful sight. There was a green place with palm trees and a pond. It was an oasis. They ran down the hill and jumped into the water. They splashed and laughed.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing!" Lila said. "We found a secret place!"
+
+"Look, Lila, I have a surprise for you!" Sam said. He took out his purple scarf and waved it in the air. He said some magic words and then pulled the scarf away. There was a bunch of grapes in his hand.
+
+"Wow, Sam, how did you do that?" Lila asked. She took a grape and ate it. It was sweet and juicy.
+
+"It's a magic scarf, Lila. It can make anything you wish for," Sam said. He smiled and gave her another grape.
+
+They shared the grapes and enjoyed the oasis. They were happy and grateful. They did not know that a hungry camel was watching them from behind a tree. It wanted the grapes and the scarf. It waited for the right moment to attack.
+Tom and Mia are playing with their toy cars on the floor. They have a big mat with roads and buildings on it. They make sounds like vroom and beep as they drive their cars around.
+
+"Look, Mia, I can reverse my car," Tom says. He moves his car backwards and makes a beeping sound. "Beep, beep, beep!"
+
+"Wow, Tom, you are good at reversing," Mia says. She tries to reverse her car too, but she bumps into a building. "Oops, sorry, building!"
+
+Tom laughs. "It's okay, Mia, you just need to practice more. Here, let me show you." He drives his car next to Mia's and points to a button on the side. "This is the reverse button. You press it and then move your car backwards. See?"
+
+Mia nods. She presses the button and moves her car backwards. She does not bump into anything this time. "Yay, I did it! Thank you, Tom!"
+
+They high-five each other and smile. They are happy to play together.
+
+Mom comes into the room and sees them playing. She smiles too. She has a belt in her hand. She is going to wear it with her dress. She likes her dress. It is modest and pretty.
+
+"Hi, kids, are you having fun?" Mom asks.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we are playing with our cars," Tom says. "We are learning how to reverse."
+
+"That's great, Tom. And you, Mia, are you enjoying your cars too?" Mom asks.
+
+"Yes, Mom, I like my cars. And I like your belt. It is shiny and nice," Mia says.
+
+"Thank you, Mia. You are very sweet. Do you want to try it on?" Mom asks.
+
+Mia nods. She loves to try on Mom's things. Mom puts the belt around Mia's waist and buckles it. Mia looks at herself in the mirror. She feels like a princess.
+
+"You look beautiful, Mia," Mom says.
+
+"You look beautiful too, Mom," Mia says.
+
+They hug each other and laugh. They are happy to be together.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. Today is a mild day. The sun is warm and the wind is soft.
+
+"Look, Lila, a pumpkin!" Tom says. He points to a big orange pumpkin on a table. The table is near a tent. The tent is for a fair.
+
+"Wow, it is so big and round!" Lila says. She runs to the pumpkin. She wants to touch it.
+
+"Be careful, Lila. It is not ours. It is for a contest." Tom says. He follows her.
+
+Lila and Tom reach the pumpkin. They see a sign. The sign says: "Biggest Pumpkin Contest. Winner gets a prize."
+
+"I wonder what the prize is." Lila says. She puts her hand on the pumpkin. It feels smooth and hard.
+
+"Maybe it is a toy. Or a book. Or a cake." Tom says. He puts his hand on the pumpkin too.
+
+Suddenly, the pumpkin starts to shake. Lila and Tom are scared. They let go of the pumpkin.
+
+"What is happening?" Lila says.
+
+The pumpkin lifts off the table. It flies in the air. It makes a loud noise. It sounds like a rocket.
+
+"Wow, it is flying!" Tom says.
+
+Lila and Tom watch the pumpkin fly. It goes higher and higher. It goes over the tent. It goes over the trees. It goes over the clouds.
+
+"Bye, bye, pumpkin!" Lila and Tom say.
+
+They laugh and clap. They think it is funny and amazing.
+
+The end.
+Tim and Sue were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big truck with a picture of ice cream on it. They ran to the truck and asked for ice cream.
+
+"Can we have ice cream, please?" they said to the man in the truck.
+
+"Sure, what kind do you want?" the man said.
+
+Tim and Sue looked at the many flavors of ice cream. They wanted to try them all. They ordered one cone each, but they were not happy. They wanted more.
+
+"Can we have another one, please?" they said to the man.
+
+"Another one? Are you sure?" the man said.
+
+"Yes, please!" Tim and Sue said.
+
+The man gave them another cone each, but they still wanted more. They ordered one more, and then another, and then another. They ate the ice cream very fast, because they were afraid the man would run out.
+
+Soon, they had eaten six cones each. They felt very full and sick. Their stomachs hurt and they could not run or play. They felt very slow and sad.
+
+The man in the truck saw them and shook his head. He said, "You should not eat so much ice cream. It is not good for you. You should eat only a little, and enjoy it. Then you will feel happy and healthy."
+
+Tim and Sue realized they had made a mistake. They said, "We are sorry, sir. You are right. We should not be greedy. We should be thankful for what we have."
+
+They learned their lesson and never ordered so much ice cream again. They also said sorry to their mom and dad, who were worried about them. They promised to eat well and play well. They felt better and happier.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. They have a big box of toys in their room. One day, they find a bottle of lotion in the box. They do not know what it is.
+
+"Look, Ben, what is this?" Sara asks, holding the bottle.
+
+"I don't know, Sara. Maybe it is for your hair. Let me see." Ben says, taking the bottle from Sara.
+
+He tries to open the bottle, but it is too hard. He pulls and pulls, but nothing happens. He gets angry and throws the bottle on the floor. The bottle splits and lotion comes out.
+
+"Oh no, Ben, you broke it!" Sara cries, looking at the mess.
+
+"Sorry, Sara, I didn't mean to. Look, the lotion is soft and white. Maybe we can use it to make something." Ben says, trying to cheer up Sara.
+
+They dip their fingers in the lotion and start to draw on the floor. They make shapes, letters, and animals. They have fun with the lotion. They laugh and talk.
+
+"Look, Sara, I made a star. Do you like it?" Ben asks, showing his drawing.
+
+"Yes, Ben, I like it. It is very pretty. Look, I made a heart. It is for you." Sara says, showing her drawing.
+
+"Thank you, Sara. You are very sweet. I love you." Ben says, hugging Sara.
+
+"I love you too, Ben. You are very nice. We are the best twins." Sara says, hugging Ben back.
+
+They are happy and forget about the broken bottle. They do not hear their mom coming to their room. She sees the lotion on the floor and the drawings. She is not happy. She is very angry. She scolds Sara and Ben. She makes them clean the floor. She takes away their toys. She says they are naughty and they have to go to bed early.
+
+Sara and Ben are sad. They say sorry to their mom. They say sorry to each other. They go to bed. They hug their pillows. They wish they had not found the lotion. They wish they had not split the bottle. They wish they had not made their mom angry. They wish they had not been naughty. They wish they had been good. They wish they had been soft.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play dress up. They have a big box of clothes and hats and shoes. They can be anything they want.
+
+One day, they find a jug in the kitchen. It is wide and blue and has a handle. Tom says, "This is a magic jug. It can make anything we wish."
+
+Lily says, "Really? What do you wish?"
+
+Tom says, "I wish I was a pirate. I want a hat and a sword and a parrot." He puts the jug on his head and says, "Magic jug, make me a pirate!"
+
+Lily laughs. She says, "That is not a hat. That is a jug. You look silly."
+
+Tom says, "No, I don't. I look brave and strong. You are just jealous. What do you wish?"
+
+Lily says, "I wish I was a princess. I want a dress and a crown and a necklace." She takes the jug from Tom's head and puts it on her chest. She says, "Magic jug, make me a princess!"
+
+Tom laughs. He says, "That is not a necklace. That is a jug. You look silly."
+
+Lily says, "No, I don't. I look pretty and smart. You are just jealous. Let's go and show Mom and Dad."
+
+They run to the living room, where Mom and Dad are reading. They see Tom and Lily with the jug. They smile and say, "Wow, you look amazing. What are you playing?"
+
+Tom and Lily say, "We are playing dress up with the magic jug. It can make anything we wish."
+
+Mom and Dad say, "That is very creative. But be careful with the jug. It is not a toy. It is for water and juice."
+
+Tom and Lily say, "OK, Mom and Dad. We will be careful. Can we keep playing?"
+
+Mom and Dad say, "Sure, you can keep playing. But don't forget to share the jug. And have fun."
+Tom and Mia love to play soccer. They have a big ball and two goals in their backyard. Sometimes they pretend they are famous players and score many goals. They smile and cheer when they win.
+
+One day, their dad takes them to a real soccer game. He drives them to a very big place with many people and cars. He says it is a stadium. Tom and Mia are very excited. They want to see the players and the ball.
+
+They follow their dad to their seats. They are very high up and can see the whole field. The players are wearing different colors and have numbers on their shirts. The ball is white and black and very shiny. The people are very loud and clap and sing.
+
+The game starts and the players run and kick the ball. Tom and Mia watch and try to guess who will score. They cheer for their favorite team and boo the other team. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But soon it gets dark and the lights come on. Tom and Mia feel tired and cold. They yawn and rub their eyes. Their dad says it is time to go home. He picks them up and carries them to the car. They say goodbye to the stadium and the players and the ball. They fall asleep on the way home. They dream of playing soccer in their backyard. They smile in their sleep.
+Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They played on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They had a lot of fun, but they also got very tired and thirsty.
+
+"Can we have some ice cream, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, sweetie. Let's go to the ice cream truck," Mom said.
+
+They walked to the ice cream truck and saw many colors of ice cream. Lily liked pink and Ben liked blue.
+
+"Hello, what can I get you?" the ice cream man asked.
+
+"I want a pink cone, please," Lily said.
+
+"I want a blue cone, please," Ben said.
+
+"Coming right up," the ice cream man said. He scooped the ice cream and put it on the cones. He gave them to Lily and Ben.
+
+"Thank you," Lily and Ben said.
+
+They licked their ice cream and smiled. It was cold and sweet and yummy. They felt less tired and more happy.
+
+Mom watched them and smiled too. She was glad they had a good day at the park. She ordered a cone for herself too. She liked green.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many vines. The vines are long and green. They look like ropes.
+
+"Let's play with the vines!" Tom says. "We can swing and climb and jump!"
+
+"OK!" Lily says. "That sounds fun!"
+
+They run to the tree. They grab the vines. They swing from one vine to another. They feel like monkeys. They laugh and shout.
+
+But then, they see a man. The man is angry. He has a hat and a rake. He is the gardener. He takes care of the park. He likes the park to be organized and clean.
+
+"Hey, you kids!" the man yells. "Stop playing with the vines! You are making a mess! You are hurting the tree!"
+
+Tom and Lily are scared. They drop the vines. They run away from the man. They run to the other side of the park. They find a slide and a swing. They play there instead.
+
+They are still friends. They still like to play. But they do not play with the vines anymore. They do not want to make the man angry again. They do not want to hurt the tree. They learn to respect the park.
+Lily and Ben were going to camp with Mom and Dad. They were very happy. They packed their bags, their toys and their snacks. They got in the car and drove to the woods.
+
+When they got to the camp, they saw a big tent, a fire and some chairs. Mom and Dad said they could explore the camp, but they had to stay close and be careful. Lily and Ben nodded and ran to the tent. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+They opened the tent and saw two sleeping bags, some pillows and a lantern. Lily grabbed a pillow and threw it at Ben. Ben grabbed a sleeping bag and wrapped it around himself. They laughed and played in the tent. They pretended they were in a castle, a cave and a spaceship.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing in there?" they heard Mom's voice. "It's time for dinner. Come out and join us."
+
+Lily and Ben crawled out of the tent. They saw Mom and Dad sitting by the fire. They smelled something yummy. Mom had cooked some soup and bread. Dad had roasted some marshmallows. They looked thick and gooey.
+
+"Wow, this looks good!" Lily said. "Can we have some?"
+
+"Of course, you can," Dad said. "But first, wash your hands. They are dirty from playing in the tent."
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the water bucket. They washed their hands and dried them with a towel. Then they sat by the fire and ate their dinner. They enjoyed the soup, the bread and the marshmallows. They felt warm and cozy.
+
+They thanked Mom and Dad for the food. They hugged them and said they loved them. Then they went back to the tent and got ready for bed. They put on their pajamas, brushed their teeth and crawled into their sleeping bags. Mom and Dad came to the tent and kissed them good night. They turned off the lantern and left.
+
+Lily and Ben snuggled in their sleeping bags. They looked at the stars through the tent window. They heard the sounds of the night. They felt happy and safe. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of their camp adventure.
+Tom was a soldier. He had a big gun and a green hat. He went to a far place to fight bad people. He missed his home and his mom.
+
+One day, he saw a small boy in the street. The boy was crying and scared. Tom wanted to help him. He gave him some water and a candy. The boy smiled and said thank you.
+
+But then, a loud noise came from a big car. The car had a bomb inside. It blew up and made fire and smoke. Tom and the boy fell down and got hurt. Tom was very sad and angry. He wished he did not give the boy the candy. He regretted it.
+
+The bad people were crazy. They wanted to hurt everyone. They did not care about the boy or Tom. They only cared about their bomb.
+
+Tom tried to get up and help the boy. But he was too weak and in pain. He saw some other soldiers come and take him away. He hoped the boy was okay. He hoped he could go home soon. He hoped he could forget the bomb and the candy. He hoped he could be happy again.
+Lena and Tom were friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars. One day, Lena had an idea. She said to Tom, "Let's play marriage. You be the husband and I be the wife. We can wrap this scarf around us and pretend it is a dress."
+
+Tom did not like the idea. He said, "No, I don't want to play marriage. I want to play cars. Cars are fun and fast. Marriage is boring and slow."
+
+But Lena was persistent. She said, "Please, Tom, please. It will be fun. We can have a cake and a party and a kiss. Please, please, please."
+
+Tom did not want to make Lena sad. He said, "Okay, fine. But only for a little while. Then we play cars."
+
+Lena was happy. She wrapped the scarf around them and said, "Now we are married. You have to do what I say. I say we go to the kitchen and get some cake."
+
+Tom did not like cake. He liked cookies. He said, "No, I don't want cake. I want cookies. Cookies are yummy and crunchy. Cake is sticky and mushy."
+
+But Lena was persistent. She said, "No, Tom, no. We have to have cake. Cake is what married people have. You have to do what I say. I say we go to the kitchen and get some cake."
+
+Tom did not want to argue. He said, "Okay, fine. But only a little piece. Then we play cars."
+
+Lena was happy. She dragged Tom to the kitchen and said, "Look, there is a big cake on the table. It is for us. We can have as much as we want."
+
+Tom did not like the cake. He saw that it had nuts and raisins. He hated nuts and raisins. He said, "No, Lena, no. I don't like this cake. It has nuts and raisins. Nuts and raisins are yucky and hard. I want cookies. Cookies are yummy and crunchy."
+
+But Lena was persistent. She said, "No, Tom, no. You have to eat the cake. It is our cake. You have to do what I say. I say you eat the cake."
+
+Tom did not want to eat the cake. He said, "No, Lena, no. I don't want to eat the cake. I want to play cars. Cars are fun and fast. I don't want to play marriage. Marriage is boring and slow."
+
+But Lena was persistent. She said, "No, Tom, no. You have to play marriage. You have to eat the cake. You have to kiss me. You have to do what I say. I say you do it now."
+
+Tom did not want to do any of that. He said, "No, Lena, no. I don't want to do any of that. I want to go home. I don't want to be your friend. I don't want to be your husband. I don't want to be with you."
+
+But Lena was persistent. She said, "No, Tom, no. You can't go home. You can't leave me. You are my friend. You are my husband. You are mine."
+
+Tom was scared. He tried to run away. But Lena was faster. She grabbed him and pulled him back. She wrapped the scarf around them and said, "You are mine. You are mine. You are mine."
+
+Tom cried. He cried and cried and cried. He wished he never played marriage. He wished he never met Lena. He wished he could play cars. He wished he could be free.
+
+But Lena was persistent. She did not let him go. She did not let him cry. She did not let him wish. She only let him be hers.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide. Ben is scared of the slide.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's go on the slide. It is fun!" Lily says.
+
+"No, Lily, I don't want to go on the slide. It is too high and too fast. I want to play on the swings." Ben says.
+
+Lily and Ben do not know what to do. They want to play together, but they like different things. They decide to take turns. First, they go on the swings. Ben pushes Lily and Lily pushes Ben. They laugh and have fun. Then, they go on the slide. Lily helps Ben to climb up the ladder. She holds his hand and says, "Don't be afraid, Ben, I am here with you. You can do it!" Ben closes his eyes and slides down with Lily. He feels a tickle in his tummy. He opens his eyes and smiles. He says, "That was not so bad, Lily. That was fun!"
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They find a way to play together. They try different things. They are good friends.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. Tim had a toy gun that made a loud noise when he pressed a button. Lily had a magnifying glass that made things look bigger.
+
+"Look, Tim, I found a clue!" Lily said, pointing to a shiny thing on the ground. "It's a ring with a letter on it. Maybe it belongs to the bad guy we are looking for."
+
+Tim ran over to see the ring. He picked it up and looked at it. It had a letter B on it. "Maybe it's for Bob or Ben or Bill," he said. "Let's keep it and show it to mom and dad later. Maybe they can help us find the bad guy."
+
+They put the ring in their pocket and continued to play. They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They decided to hide there and wait for the bad guy to come. They crawled inside the hole and peeked out.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud bark. It was a big dog that was running towards them. It had a collar with a tag that said Rex. It looked angry and hungry.
+
+"Help, Tim, help!" Lily screamed. "The dog is going to get us!"
+
+Tim grabbed his toy gun and pressed the button. It made a loud noise. "Bang, bang, bang!" he shouted. "Go away, dog, go away!"
+
+The dog stopped and looked at Tim. It tilted its head and wagged its tail. It was not angry and hungry. It was friendly and playful. It liked the noise that the toy gun made. It ran towards Tim and licked his face.
+
+"Hey, stop it, dog, stop it!" Tim said, laughing. "You are tickling me!"
+
+Lily came out of the hole and saw the dog. She was not scared anymore. She petted the dog and smiled. "He's a nice dog, Tim," she said. "He just wanted to play with us. Maybe he's the bad guy's dog and he ran away from him. Maybe he's looking for a new home."
+
+Tim looked at the dog's tag. It had a phone number on it. "Maybe we should call this number and see if the dog has a owner," he said. "Maybe they are looking for him and they miss him."
+
+Lily nodded. She took out her phone and dialed the number. A voice answered. "Hello?"
+
+"Hello, we found your dog," Lily said. "He's in the park with us. He's a big dog with a collar that says Rex. He's very nice and he likes to play."
+
+The voice sounded happy and surprised. "You found Rex? Oh, thank you, thank you! I've been looking for him all day. He ran away from me when I was walking him. He's very curious and he likes to chase things. Where are you in the park? I'll come and get him right away."
+
+Lily told the voice where they were. They waited for a few minutes. Then they saw a man running towards them. He had a hat with a letter B on it. He was the bad guy they were looking for!
+
+"Rex, Rex, there you are!" the man said, hugging the dog. "I'm so sorry I lost you. I'm so happy you're safe. And who are these nice kids who found you? Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
+
+Tim and Lily looked at each other. They were confused. The man was not a bad guy. He was a good guy. He was Rex's owner. He was very grateful to them.
+
+They gave the man the ring they found. It was his ring. It had a letter B on it. It was for Brian. He had lost it when he was looking for Rex.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" the man said again. "This ring is very special to me. It was a gift from my wife. You are very kind and smart kids. You are like spies. You found my dog and my ring. You are amazing!"
+
+Tim and Lily smiled. They were happy. They had helped the man and the dog. They had solved the mystery. They had made new friends.
+
+They played with Rex for a while. Then they said goodbye to the man and the dog. They went back to their mom and dad. They told them what happened. They showed them the toy gun and the magnifying glass.
+
+Mom and dad were proud of them. They hugged them and kissed them. They said they were very brave and clever. They said they loved them very much.
+
+Tim and Lily were glad. They loved their mom and dad very much. They loved each other very much. They loved to play and have fun. They loved to pretend and imagine.
+Tom and Sue wanted to go to the park. They put on their hats and shoes and ran to the door. But Mom said, "Wait, wait, wait. You have to eat your lunch first. You can go to the park after lunch."
+
+Tom and Sue were sad. They did not want to delay. They wanted to play on the swings and the slide. They did not want to eat their lunch. They said, "But Mom, we are not hungry. We want to go now."
+
+Mom said, "No, you have to eat your lunch. It is good for you. And look, the sky is getting dark. It might rain soon. You don't want to get wet, do you?"
+
+Tom and Sue looked at the sky. It was gray and cloudy. They did not like rain. They did not want to get wet. They said, "OK, Mom, we will eat our lunch. But please hurry. We don't want to miss the park."
+
+Mom smiled and gave them their lunch. They ate it quickly and drank their juice. They said, "Thank you, Mom. Can we go now?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, you can go now. But take your coats and umbrellas, just in case. And be careful and have fun."
+
+Tom and Sue put on their coats and umbrellas and ran to the park. They were glad. They played on the swings and the slide. They had a lot of fun. But then they heard a loud boom. It was thunder. They saw a flash. It was lightning. They felt a drop. It was rain.
+
+Tom and Sue ran to the big tree. They opened their umbrellas. They were safe and dry. They said, "Wow, that was close. We are lucky we have our coats and umbrellas. Thank you, Mom, for making us eat our lunch. If we had not delayed, we would have been wet and cold."
+
+They hugged each other and waited for the rain to stop. They were glad. They learned a lesson. Sometimes, delaying is good.
+Mia and Leo were best friends. They liked to play with blocks, cars and dolls. One day, Mia got a big envelope in the mail. It was an invitation to Anna's birthday party. Mia was very happy and eager to go. She ran to Leo's house to show him.
+
+"Look, Leo, look!" Mia said, waving the invitation. "Anna is having a party. There will be cake and games and balloons. Do you want to come with me?"
+
+Leo looked at the invitation and smiled. He liked Anna too. She was nice and funny. He nodded and said, "Yes, Mia, yes! I want to come with you. When is the party?"
+
+Mia looked at the invitation again. It said, "Saturday, 2 pm, at Anna's house. Please RSVP." Mia did not know what RSVP meant. She asked Leo, "What is RSVP?"
+
+Leo did not know either. He shrugged and said, "Maybe it means, 'Ready, Split, Visit'."
+
+Mia thought that made sense. She said, "OK, then we are ready, we split, and we visit Anna. Let's go tell our moms."
+
+They ran back to Mia's house and showed the invitation to Mia's mom. Mia's mom explained what RSVP meant. It meant, 'Please reply if you can come or not'. She said, "Mia, you have to call Anna's mom and tell her if you can come to the party. Do you want me to help you?"
+
+Mia said, "Yes, please, mom. I want to come to the party very much. And Leo too. He is my best friend."
+
+Mia's mom smiled and said, "OK, then. Let's call Anna's mom and say yes. Then you can split and play with Leo until it is time to go to the party."
+
+Mia and Leo were very happy and eager. They thanked Mia's mom and split to play in the yard. They could not wait for Saturday to come. They knew they would have a lot of fun at Anna's party.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a red car that could make noises and move by itself. They always wanted to play with the car, but they had to share it.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily were playing with the car in their room. Ben had the car and was making it go around the bed. Lily wanted a turn, but Ben did not want to give it to her.
+
+"Ben, give me the car! It is my turn!" Lily said.
+
+"No, it is not! It is my car! I want to play with it!" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, it is! We have to share! You are selfish!" Lily said.
+
+They started to fight over the car. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The car fell on the floor and broke. It did not make noises or move anymore.
+
+Ben and Lily stopped fighting. They looked at the car and felt sad. They both started to cry.

+Sara and Tom like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and games. But sometimes they get bored and want to see what is outside. They have a big window in their room that they can look through.
+
+One day, they see a fierce storm outside. The wind is very strong and loud. It makes the trees and the flowers bend and shake. The rain is very wet and fast. It makes the window wet and shiny. The thunder is very scary and loud. It makes Sara and Tom jump and hug.
+
+Sara and Tom want to see more of the storm. They climb on their bed and twist the handle of the window. The window opens a little bit and they feel the wind and the rain on their faces. They laugh and shout and twist the handle more. The window opens more and more and the storm comes in their room.
+
+The wind and the rain make their toys and books and games fly and fall. The thunder makes their bed and window shake and bang. Sara and Tom are not laughing and shouting anymore. They are scared and crying. They twist the handle again and again, but the window does not close. The storm is too fierce.
+
+Mom and Dad hear the noise and come to their room. They see the mess and the storm and Sara and Tom. They are angry and worried. They close the window and hug Sara and Tom. They tell them to never open the window in a storm. They tell them to be careful and safe. They tell them to clean their room and say sorry. Sara and Tom nod and hug Mom and Dad. They say sorry and clean their room. They do not want to see the storm anymore. They want to play with their toys and books and games. They want to be happy and calm.
+One day, a boy named Ben saw a big dragon in the sky. He was not scared, because he liked dragons. He wanted to be friends with the dragon. He ran to the hill and waved his arms.
+
+The dragon saw Ben and flew down to him. He was a green dragon with yellow eyes and a long tail. He was very friendly and harmless. He liked to play with Ben. He let Ben ride on his back and showed him the clouds and the birds.
+
+But some people in the town did not like the dragon. They thought he was bad and dangerous. They wanted to chase him away. They got sticks and stones and ran to the hill. They shouted and threw things at the dragon.
+
+The dragon was sad and scared. He did not want to hurt anyone. He wanted to be friends with everyone. He looked at Ben and asked him what to do.
+
+Ben told the dragon to yield. He said that if the dragon flew away, the people would stop being angry. He said that he would miss the dragon, but he would always remember him. He said that maybe one day, the people would learn to be nice to the dragon.
+
+The dragon nodded and hugged Ben. He said that he would miss Ben too, but he would always watch over him. He said that he hoped that one day, he could come back and play with Ben. He said that he was glad to have met Ben.
+
+Then the dragon flew away, high in the sky. He waved his tail and said goodbye to Ben. Ben waved his hand and said goodbye to the dragon. He smiled and hoped that the dragon would be happy and safe. He knew that the dragon was his friend.

+
+But then, she heard a loud noise from the street. She saw a big truck hit a small car. The car was broken and the truck was smoking. Lily was scared and ran to the house. She saw her mom and dad watching the news on the TV. They looked worried.
+
+"What happened, Mommy?" Lily asked.
+
+"There was a bad accident, sweetie. Some people are hurt and need help. The police and the ambulance are there," Mommy said.
+
+"Can we help them, Mommy?" Lily asked.
+
+"Well, we can't go there, but we can do something else. We can prepare some food and water for them. Maybe they are hungry and thirsty," Mommy said.
+
+"That's a good idea, Mommy. I can help you. I can also give them my bandage. Maybe they need it more than my doll," Lily said.
+
+"That's very kind of you, Lily. But you don't have to give your bandage. It was a gift from Grandma. It was expensive," Mommy said.
+
+"But Mommy, I want to share. Sharing is caring. Grandma would be happy if I help someone," Lily said.
+
+Mommy smiled and hugged Lily. "You are right, Lily. Sharing is caring. Grandma would be proud of you. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and prepare some food and water. Maybe we can also make some cards and draw some pictures for them. That would make them feel better," Mommy said.

+An old man saw Lily crying. He had a cane to help him walk. He asked Lily what was wrong. Lily told him she lost Anna. The old man said he saw a hairy dog take Anna. He said he would help Lily find Anna.
+
+They followed the dog's paw prints on the grass. They found the dog under a bush, chewing on Anna. Lily was very upset. She shouted at the dog to give Anna back. The dog growled and barked.
+
+The old man used his cane to scare the dog away. He picked up Anna and gave her to Lily. Lily hugged Anna and thanked the old man. She was very happy to have Anna back.
+
+The old man told Lily to be careful with her toys. He said toys are not just things, they are friends. He said friends need love and respect. He said Lily should not forget Anna again.
+
+Lily learned her lesson. She said sorry to Anna and promised to take good care of her. She also said thank you to the old man and the cane. She smiled and waved goodbye. She went back to the park with her mom and dad, and Anna. She never forgot Anna again.
+Ben liked to perform for his family. He could sing, dance and tell jokes. He always made them laugh and clap. He wanted to perform for his friends too. He asked his mom if he could have a show on Wednesday.
+
+Mom said yes, but she had some rules. She said he had to be quiet when she was working. She said he had to clean his room and help with chores. She said he had to invite his friends nicely and share his toys. Ben said he would do all that.
+
+On Wednesday, Ben was very excited. He put on his best clothes and his hat. He set up his stage in the living room. He waited for his friends to come. But no one came. He called them on the phone, but they said they were busy. They said they had homework, or soccer, or piano. They said they did not want to see his show.
+
+Ben was very sad. He felt like crying. He did not understand why his friends did not like him. He thought they were mean. He decided to perform anyway. He sang, and danced, and told jokes. But he was very noisy. He did not care about mom's rules.
+
+Mom heard him from her office. She was angry. She had an important meeting on the phone. She told him to stop. But he did not listen. He kept performing. Mom came to the living room. She saw the mess. She saw the hat. She saw the stage. She was very mad. She yelled at him. She said he was naughty. She said he had to go to his room. She said he could not have any dessert. She said he could not perform ever again.
+
+Ben was very scared. He ran to his room. He threw his hat on the floor. He sobbed on his bed. He wished he had never performed. He wished he had better friends. He wished he had a nicer mom. He wished it was not Wednesday. He wished he was happy. But he was not. He was miserable. The end.
+One day, a cat saw a rat in the garden. The cat was hungry and wanted to catch the rat. The rat was small and fast, and knew how to hide. The cat chased the rat, but the rat ran away.

+
+They ate and ate, until they were full and fat. They ate so much that they could not run anymore. They ate so much that they could not fit through the door anymore. They ate so much that they gained a lot of weight.
+
+A man came to the house. He saw the cat and the rat. He was angry and shocked. He had never seen such a big cat and such a big rat. He thought they were impressive, but not in a good way.
+
+"Hey, you! What are you doing in my house? How did you get so big? You ate all my food! You are thieves and pests!" the man said.
+
+The cat and the rat were scared and sorry. They wanted to run away, but they could not. They were stuck in the house. They wished they had not eaten so much. They wished they had not chased each other. They wished they had been friends.
+Sara and Ben were playing with their toy boats by the river. They liked to make them sail and race on the water. Sara had a big red boat and Ben had a small blue boat.

+"Look, my boat is faster than yours!" Sara said, as she pushed her boat with a stick.
+
+"No, it's not! My boat is smarter than yours!" Ben said, as he steered his boat with a string.
+
+They both laughed and had fun, until Sara saw a big hole in the river bank. She wondered what was inside.
+
+"Hey, Ben, look at that hole! Do you think we can fit our boats in there?" Sara asked.
+
+"I don't know. Let's try!" Ben said.
+
+They took their boats and walked to the hole. It was dark and deep. Sara put her boat in first. It fit, but she could not see it anymore.
+
+"Where did it go?" Sara asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it's gone forever!" Ben said.
+
+Sara felt sad and scared. She wanted her boat back. She looked at Ben's boat. It was smaller than hers. Maybe it would not fit in the hole.
+
+"Ben, can I try your boat?" Sara asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful!" Ben said.
+
+He gave his boat to Sara. She put it in the hole. It fit, too, but she could not see it either.
+
+"Where did it go?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it's gone forever, too!" Sara said.
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He wanted his boat back. He looked at Sara. She looked guilty.
+
+"Sara, why did you do that? You made us lose our boats!" Ben said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I was curious. I didn't mean to!" Sara said.
+
+They both cried and hugged. They wished they had not put their boats in the hole. They wished they had played by the river instead.

+Anna liked to grow things in her garden. She had many flowers and plants, but her favorite was a bean. She had planted a bean seed in a pot and watched it grow every day. She watered it, talked to it, and gave it a name. She called it Ben.
+

+
+One day, Anna saw something on Ben's stem. It was a tiny green pod. She was very happy and curious. She wondered what was inside the pod. She asked Ben, but he did not answer. He just swayed in the wind.
+
+"Maybe you have a surprise for me," she said. "Maybe you have a gift. I can't wait to see it."
+
+The next day, the pod was bigger and fatter. Anna was very excited. She wanted to open it and see what was inside. She asked Ben, but he did not answer. He just nodded in the wind.
+
+"Maybe you have a friend for me," she said. "Maybe you have a baby. I would love to meet it."
+
+The day after, the pod was ready to burst. Anna could not wait any longer. She gently picked the pod and opened it. Inside, she saw three shiny black beans. She was amazed and delighted. She smiled and hugged Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Ben," she said. "You are so generous and kind and unique. You gave me three beans. They are like you, but also different. They are your children. I will plant them and watch them grow. I will name them too. I will call them Ben, Jen, and Ken."
+Anna is a daughter. She likes to play with her dolls. She has a big doll and a small doll. She pretends they are her babies. She gives them names and hugs.
+
+One day, it is cold and windy outside. Anna wants to go out and play, but her mom says no. "It is too cold, Anna. You need to stay inside and keep warm," her mom says.
+
+Anna is sad. She looks at her dolls. They look cold too. She has an idea. She runs to her room and gets a blanket. She covers her dolls with the blanket. She says, "There, now you are cozy and warm. I love you, my babies."
+
+Her mom sees what she is doing. She smiles. She goes to Anna and gives her a kiss. She says, "You are a good daughter, Anna. You are very kind and caring. Do you want to read a book with me?"
+
+Anna nods. She picks up her dolls and the blanket. She follows her mom to the couch. They sit together and read a book. The book has pictures of animals. Anna likes the animals. She points at them and says their names. Her mom helps her with the hard ones. They have fun.

+When Tommy arrived at his grandma's house, he ran to the bedroom where he usually slept. He saw a big surprise. There was a new mattress on the bed. It was very colorful. It had many shapes and animals on it. Tommy liked it a lot.
+
+He jumped on the mattress and felt how soft and bouncy it was. He looked at the animals and tried to recognize them. He saw a cat, a dog, a bird, a fish, and a lion. He pointed at each one and said their names. He smiled and laughed.
+
+Grandma came to the bedroom and saw Tommy on the mattress. She smiled and hugged him. She said, "I'm glad you like your new mattress, Tommy. I bought it for you because you are a very good boy. Do you want to hear a story about the animals on the mattress?"
+
+Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, please, Grandma. I love stories. And I love you." He snuggled with Grandma on the mattress and listened to her story. He felt very happy and sleepy. He closed his eyes and dreamed of the colorful animals.
+Tom and Mia liked to play with cardboard boxes. They made a big fort with them in the living room. They pretended it was a castle and they were the king and queen.
+
+One day, they heard a loud roar outside. They looked out the window and saw a big truck. It was red and shiny and had a picture of a lion on it. The truck was making the roar sound.
+
+"Wow, look at that truck!" Tom said. "It is so cool!"
+
+"I don't like it," Mia said. "It is too loud and scary. It makes me nervous."
+
+Tom wanted to see the truck better. He opened the door and ran outside. He waved at the driver and shouted, "Hello, Mr. Lion!"
+
+Mia followed him. She was afraid he would get hurt. She grabbed his hand and pulled him back. "Tom, come back! It is not safe!"
+
+The driver saw the children and smiled. He stopped the truck and got out. He was wearing a yellow hat and a blue shirt. He walked towards them and said, "Hi, kids. I'm Bob. I work for the circus. This is my truck. Do you like it?"
+
+Tom and Mia nodded. They were curious about the truck and the circus. Bob showed them the picture of the lion and explained, "This is Leo. He is the star of the show. He can do tricks and roar very loud. Do you want to hear him?"
+
+Tom and Mia looked at each other. They were still nervous, but also excited. They said, "Yes, please!"
+
+Bob pressed a button on his truck. The truck roared again, but this time, it sounded like a real lion. Tom and Mia gasped and covered their ears. They felt a shiver down their spines.
+
+Bob laughed and said, "Don't worry, kids. It's just a sound. Leo is not here. He is at the circus tent. Do you want to come and see him?"
+
+Tom and Mia thought for a moment. They liked animals and they wanted to see the circus. They looked at their cardboard fort and then at Bob. They said, "Yes, please!"
+
+Bob smiled and said, "Great! Come on, then. I'll take you there. But first, let's ask your mom and dad if it's okay."
+
+Tom and Mia ran back to the house and asked their parents. Their parents agreed and gave them some money for tickets. They thanked them and hugged them. Then they followed Bob to his truck. They climbed inside and buckled their seatbelts. They were ready for an adventure.
+
+The truck roared again and drove away. Tom and Mia looked out the window and saw the cardboard boxes. They waved goodbye to their fort and said, "See you later, castle!"
+
+The end.

+
+Lily nods. She likes the name. She says, "Greeny is a good name. Hello, Greeny!"

+
+The truck stops at a house. Tom sees a man. The man has a box. The man gives the box to a woman. The woman says, "Thank you. This is a gift from my sister. She lives far away. She sent me this box."
+
+Tom hears the word "send". He thinks, "Send? What is send?" He wants to know. He goes to the woman. He barks. He says, "Woof, woof. What is send?"

+Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. They liked to run, jump and laugh. They also liked to make fun of other kids. They thought they were very smart and cool.
+
+One day, they saw a new kid in the park. He was very small and shy. He had a big shadow that followed him everywhere. Tim and Sam thought he was funny and weird. They decided to tease him.
+
+"Hey, shadow boy, what are you doing here?" Tim shouted. "Do you have a name or are you just a shadow?"
+
+Sam laughed. "Yeah, shadow boy, why are you so smelly? Did you forget to wash? Do you live in the dark?"
+
+The new kid looked scared and sad. He tried to ignore them and walk away. But Tim and Sam followed him. They kept yelling and laughing. They wanted to make him cry.
+
+"Leave me alone!" the new kid said. "My name is Ben. I have a shadow because I have a special power. I can make things disappear. And I'm not smelly. I have a perfume that smells like roses."
+
+Tim and Sam did not believe him. They thought he was lying. They wanted to see his power. They wanted to make him prove it.
+
+"Really? You have a power?" Tim said. "Then show us. Make something disappear. How about that tree over there?"
+
+"Yeah, or that bike, or that dog, or that car," Sam said. "Come on, shadow boy, do it. Or are you too scared?"
+
+Ben felt angry and hurt. He did not like Tim and Sam. He did not want to be their friend. He wanted them to go away. He wanted them to stop bothering him. He wanted them to accept him.
+
+He looked at his shadow. He whispered something. He pointed at Tim and Sam.
+
+Suddenly, Tim and Sam felt a cold wind. They felt a dark force. They felt a pain in their chests. They screamed.
+
+They disappeared.
+
+Ben smiled. He picked up his backpack. He walked away.
+
+He did not look back.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to explore. One day, they found a big, old temple in the woods. It had many stones and statues and doors. It looked mysterious and fun.
+
+They went inside the temple and saw many things. They saw paintings of animals and people. They saw pots and jewels and books. They saw candles and lamps and mirrors. They wanted to touch everything.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was a roar. It came from a dark room. They were scared. They ran to the door, but it was locked. They needed to find another way out.
+
+They looked around and saw a window. It was high and small, but they could reach it. They climbed on a table and pushed the window open. They saw the sun and the trees and the path. They jumped out of the window and ran away.
+
+They did not look back. They did not want to see what was in the dark room. They did not want to go back to the temple. They were happy to be safe and free. They learned to be careful when they explore.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. It was evening and the sky was dark. They heard their mom call them for dinner.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go eat," Ben said. He put his cars in a box and got up.
+
+"No, I want to play more," Lily said. She held her doll and did not move.
+
+"But mom said we have to eat now. It's good food. She made soup and bread and cheese," Ben said. He tried to pull Lily's hand.
+
+Lily did not like soup. She liked pizza and cake and ice cream. She did not want to eat soup. She pulled her hand back and said, "No, no, no!"
+
+Ben was angry. He wanted to eat and he did not like Lily's whining. He pushed Lily and said, "You are a bad sister. You always do what you want. You never listen to mom."
+
+Lily was sad and angry too. She pushed Ben back and said, "You are a bad brother. You always boss me around. You never play with me."
+
+They started to fight and yell. They did not see their mom come into the living room. She was holding a large tray with bowls and plates and spoons. She saw Lily and Ben fighting and she was shocked and upset.
+
+"Stop it, stop it, stop it!" she shouted. She put the tray on the table and went to separate Lily and Ben. She hugged them and said, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? You are supposed to love each other. You are supposed to be kind and gentle."
+
+Lily and Ben felt ashamed and sorry. They looked at their mom and said, "We are sorry, mom. We were playing and we got mad. We did not mean to hurt each other."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "It's okay. I know you are good kids. But you have to learn to share and cooperate and respect each other. And you have to listen to me when I call you for dinner. It's not good to skip meals. You need to eat to grow and be healthy and strong."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We will do better. We love you, mom."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. Now, let's go eat. The soup is still warm and the bread is still soft. And guess what? I have a surprise for you. I made a cake for dessert. It has chocolate and sprinkles and candles. It's for your birthday, Lily. Happy birthday, my sweet girl."
+
+Lily's eyes widened and she gasped. She forgot it was her birthday. She felt happy and excited. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best mom. I love cake. Can I have a big piece?"
+
+Mom laughed and said, "Of course, you can. But first, you have to eat your soup. Come on, let's go to the kitchen. And you too, Ben. You can help me light the candles and sing the song. It's a special evening for our family."
+
+Lily and Ben followed their mom to the kitchen. They held hands and smiled. They were not mad anymore. They were hungry and happy. They stretched their arms and legs and said, "We are ready to eat. We are ready to celebrate. We are ready to have fun."
+Ben and Mia are playing on the shore. They like to dig in the sand and find shells and stones. They see a big wave coming and run away. The wave is very fast and wet.
+
+"Look, Ben, look!" Mia says. "The wave wrap a big stick in seaweed. It looks like a snake!"
+
+Ben laughs and picks up the stick. He swings it in the air and makes a hissing sound. "I am a snake, Mia, I am a snake! I will bite you!"
+
+Mia screams and runs away. She finds a light shell and throws it at Ben. "You are not a snake, Ben, you are silly! This is a shell, not a snake!"
+
+Ben drops the stick and catches the shell. He looks at it and smiles. "You are right, Mia, this is a shell. It is very pretty and shiny. Do you want to keep it?"
+
+Mia nods and runs back to Ben. They hug and share the shell. They are happy and forget about the wave and the stick. They keep playing on the shore until the sun goes down.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play outside, but they hate winter. Winter is cold and wet and dark. They have to wear big coats and boots and hats. They cannot ride their bikes or swing on the swings.
+
+One day, they see snow outside. It is white and soft and shiny. They want to touch it and make snowballs and snowmen. They ask their mom if they can go out.
+
+"OK, but be careful," mom says. "The snow is very deep. Don't go too far."
+
+Lily and Tom put on their winter clothes and run outside. They feel the snow on their hands and faces. It is cold and tickles. They laugh and throw snowballs at each other. They roll big balls of snow and stack them up. They make a snowman with a carrot nose and a scarf and a hat.
+
+They are having fun, but they are also getting cold and tired. They look around and see that the snow is deeper than they thought. They cannot see their house or their mom. They are lost.
+
+They start to cry and call for mom. They are scared and hungry and want to go home.
+
+Mom hears them and comes out. She sees them in the snow and runs to them. She hugs them and tells them it is OK. She helps them find their way back to the house.
+
+They go inside and take off their wet clothes. Mom gives them hot chocolate and cookies. They sit by the fire and warm up.
+
+They tell mom about their snowman and their snowballs. They say they like snow, but they still hate winter. They want spring to come soon. Mom smiles and kisses them. She says she loves them, no matter what season it is.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with glow sticks. They would snap them and shake them and make them shine in the dark. They would wave them and draw shapes in the air. They would pretend they were magic wands or swords or rockets.
+
+One night, they wanted to play with glow sticks in their room. But their mom said no. She said it was time for bed and they had to sleep. Ben and Lily were sad. They wanted to have fun. They did not want to sleep.
+
+They had an idea. They hid some glow sticks under their pillows. When their mom left, they took them out and turned off the light. They started to play with them quietly. They thought their mom would not know.
+
+But they were wrong. Their mom saw the light under their door. She opened it and saw them playing with glow sticks. She was angry. She said they were naughty and they had to stop. She took away the glow sticks and turned on the light.
+
+Ben and Lily felt ashamed. They saw their mom's face and their own shadows on the wall. They knew they had done something bad. They said they were sorry and they hugged their mom. She said she loved them and she forgave them. She tucked them in and kissed them good night. They closed their eyes and tried to sleep. They dreamed of glow sticks and shadows and magic.
+One day, a chubby boy named Tom went to the park with his mom. He saw many things to play with: swings, slides, sand, and balls. He wanted to try them all, but he had to choose one.
+
+"Mom, what can I play with?" he asked.
+
+"You can play with anything you like, Tom. But you have to choose one thing at a time," his mom said.
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He liked swings, but they were too high. He liked slides, but they were too fast. He liked sand, but it was too messy. He liked balls, but they were too hard.
+
+He looked around and saw a big, red balloon tied to a bench. It was shiny and round and soft. He liked balloons. He ran to the bench and grabbed the balloon.
+
+"Mom, I choose this!" he shouted.
+
+"OK, Tom. You can play with the balloon. But be careful not to let it go," his mom said.
+
+Tom nodded and hugged the balloon. He bounced it, tossed it, and rolled it. He had so much fun with the balloon. He forgot about the other things in the park.
+
+He was happy with his choice. He smiled and said, "I love my balloon!"
+Tim was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many cars, trains, and planes that he could zoom around his room. But he did not have any friends to play with. He felt lonely and sad.
+
+One day, he heard a loud noise outside his window. He looked and saw a parade. He saw people wearing funny hats and costumes, playing music and dancing. He saw big balloons shaped like animals and stars. He saw cars and trucks decorated with flowers and flags. He wanted to join the parade and have fun.
+
+He ran to his mom and asked, "Mom, can I go to the parade? Please, please, please!"
+
+His mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can, but you have to hold my hand and stay close to me. The parade is very crowded and noisy. You don't want to get lost or hurt."
+
+Tim nodded and grabbed his mom's hand. They went outside and followed the parade. Tim saw many things that made him happy. He waved to the people, clapped to the music, and laughed at the jokes. He even made some new friends who were also watching the parade. They shared their toys and candy and talked about their favorite parts of the parade.
+
+Tim felt happy and not lonely anymore. He learned that the world was full of fun and friendly people. He learned that he could make friends if he was kind and polite. He learned that he could enjoy the parade if he was careful and listened to his mom. He thanked his mom for taking him to the parade and giving him a hug. He said, "Mom, I love you and I love the parade. It was the best day ever!"
+Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and watch cartoons. But today, it was raining. The sky was dull and gray. They could not go outside and have fun.
+
+"Mom, we are bored!" they said. "Can we do something else?"
+
+Mom was busy. She had to work on her laptop. She looked at the clock. It was almost time for the bus.
+
+"I have an idea," she said. "Why don't you get ready for the bus? You can wear your raincoats and boots. And you can take your umbrellas and backpacks. Then, you can pretend you are going to school."
+
+Tom and Lily liked this idea. They ran to their room and put on their clothes. They grabbed their things and went to the door.
+
+"Bye, Mom!" they said. "We are going to school!"
+
+Mom smiled and waved. She watched them go down the stairs. They were so cute and creative.
+
+Tom and Lily walked to the corner. They saw the bus coming. It was big and yellow. It had a sign that said "School Bus".
+
+"Look, Lily!" Tom said. "It's the real bus! Can we go on it?"
+
+Lily felt a surge of urge. She wanted to go on the bus too. It looked fun and exciting. Maybe they could meet new friends and learn new things.
+
+"Let's go, Tom!" she said. "Let's go on the bus!"
+
+They ran to the bus stop. They waved their hands. The bus stopped and opened the door. The driver looked at them.
+
+"Hello, kids," he said. "Are you going to school?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They climbed on the bus. They found two seats and sat down. They looked out the window. They saw the rain and the dull sky. But they did not care. They were happy. They were going on an adventure.
+Lily and Tom are playing in the attic. They find a big box full of old things. They open the box and see a lot of dust. They sneeze and cough.
+
+"Look, Tom, a hat!" Lily says. She picks up a hat from the box and puts it on her head. The hat is too big and covers her eyes.
+
+"Ha ha, Lily, you look funny!" Tom says. He laughs and takes a picture of her with his toy camera.
+
+"Let me see, let me see!" Lily says. She takes off the hat and tries to grab the camera. But Tom runs away with the camera.
+
+"Come back, Tom, it's my turn!" Lily says. She chases him around the attic.
+
+They run and jump and laugh. They don't see the hole in the floor. They step on the hole and fall down. They land on the sofa in the living room. The sofa is covered with dust. They sneeze and cough again.
+
+"Ouch, that hurt!" Lily says. She rubs her knee.
+
+"Sorry, Lily, I didn't see the hole!" Tom says. He hugs her.
+
+"It's okay, Tom, I'm not mad at you," Lily says. She smiles.
+
+"Look, Mom, we found a hat!" Tom says. He shows the hat to their mom, who is sitting on a chair.
+
+"Where did you get that hat?" Mom asks. She looks at the hat and the dust on their clothes.
+
+"We found it in the attic, Mom," Lily says. "We were playing with the old things in the box."
+
+"You were playing in the attic? That's bad, Lily and Tom," Mom says. She frowns. "The attic is dirty and dangerous. You could have hurt yourself. You should not use the attic as a playground. You should use the backyard or the park."
+
+"We're sorry, Mom," Lily and Tom say. They look down.
+
+"It's okay, I'm glad you're not hurt," Mom says. She hugs them. "But next time, ask me before you go to the attic, okay?"
+
+"Okay, Mom," Lily and Tom say. They nod.
+
+"Now, let's go and wash the dust off you," Mom says. She takes them to the bathroom.
+
+They wash their faces and hands and change their clothes. They feel better.
+
+"Can we see the picture, Tom?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, Lily," Tom says. He gives her the camera.
+
+They look at the picture. They see Lily with the hat and Tom with a big smile.
+
+They laugh.
+
+"It's a funny picture, Tom," Lily says.
+
+"It's a good picture, Lily," Tom says.
+
+They hug.
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. But it is wet today. The rain is falling from the sky. They cannot go to the park.
+
+"I hope it stops raining soon," Anna says. She looks out the window. She sees a big puddle. She wants to jump in it.
+
+"Me too," Ben says. He likes to slide on the slide. He wants to go to the park. He looks at the clock. He sees it is almost lunch time.
+
+"Maybe we can go to the park after lunch," he says. He smiles at Anna. He hopes the sun will come out.
+
+"Maybe," Anna says. She smiles back. She hopes the rain will stop.
+
+They eat their lunch. They drink their juice. They put on their coats and boots. They hold hands. They go outside.
+
+The rain has stopped. The sun is shining. The park is wet. But they do not mind. They run to the park. They jump in the puddle. They slide on the slide. They laugh and have fun.
+
+They are happy. They hope it will be a good week. They hope they can play in the park again. They are friends.
+Anna and Ben are going to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They are very happy. They want to see the lions, the monkeys, and the birds. They get in the car and drive to the zoo.
+
+At the zoo, they have to buy tickets. Mom gives money to a man and he gives them tickets. The tickets are clean and shiny. They have pictures of animals on them. Anna and Ben hold their tickets and follow Mom and Dad to the gate.
+
+At the gate, there is a big bell. The man at the gate says, "Please ring the bell when you are ready to enter the zoo." Anna and Ben want to ring the bell. They take turns to pull the rope. The bell makes a loud sound. Ding dong, ding dong. Anna and Ben giggle. The man at the gate smiles and says, "Welcome to the zoo. Have fun!"
+
+Anna and Ben enter the zoo with Mom and Dad. They see many animals. They hear them roar, chatter, and sing. They have a lot of fun. They are glad they rang the bell.
+Sara was a gifted girl. She could draw and sing and read very well. She liked to show her work to her mom and dad. They always said she was amazing and gave her hugs and kisses.
+
+One day, Sara found a nail on the floor. She picked it up and thought it was shiny and sharp. She wanted to use it for her art. She went to her room and looked for some paper and glue. She had an idea to make a picture with the nail.
+
+She glued the nail on the paper and drew around it. She made a sun with the nail as the center. She used yellow and orange crayons to make the rays. She was very happy with her picture. She wanted to show it to her mom and dad.
+
+She ran to the living room, where her mom and dad were watching TV. She held up her picture and said, "Look, look, I made a sun with a nail!"
+
+Her mom and dad looked at her picture and smiled. They said, "Wow, Sara, that's very creative and beautiful! You are a gifted girl!"
+
+But then they saw the nail and frowned. They said, "Sara, where did you get that nail? That's not a toy, that's dangerous. You could hurt yourself or someone else with it. You have to be careful with things like that."
+
+Sara felt sad and scared. She didn't mean to do anything bad. She just wanted to make art. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I found it on the floor. I thought it was pretty. I won't use it again. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Her mom and dad hugged her and said, "We're not mad at you, Sara. We love you very much. We just want you to be safe and happy. We're proud of you for being so gifted, but you have to mind what you use for your art. There are many other things you can use that are not dangerous, like stickers, buttons, feathers, or beads. How about we go to the store and buy you some new art supplies?"
+
+Sara nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, please, that sounds fun. Thank you, mom and dad. I love you too."
+
+They kissed her and took her hand. They went to the store and bought her some new art supplies. Sara was happy and excited. She couldn't wait to make more pictures with her new things. She was a gifted girl.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the classroom. They liked to draw pictures with crayons and paper. They shared a big desk where they put their drawings and crayons.
+
+"Look, I drew a flower for you," Lily said, giving Tom a paper with a yellow flower on it.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are very generous. I drew a car for you," Tom said, giving Lily a paper with a red car on it.
+
+They smiled and hugged each other. They were very happy.
+
+But then, something strange happened. The desk started to shake and make noises. Lily and Tom were scared. They held each other's hands and watched the desk.
+
+Suddenly, the desk disappeared. It was gone. There was nothing on the floor. No desk, no papers, no crayons. Lily and Tom gasped.
+
+"Where did the desk go?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it was magic," Tom said.
+
+They looked around the classroom. They saw their teacher, Miss Lee, standing by the door. She was holding a remote control. She had a big smile on her face.
+
+"Did you like the trick, children?" Miss Lee asked.
+
+Lily and Tom were confused. They did not understand.
+
+"What trick?" they asked.
+
+Miss Lee laughed. She pressed a button on the remote control. The desk appeared again. It was not gone. It was just hidden under a big cloth. Miss Lee had moved the cloth with the remote control.
+
+"It was a joke, children. I wanted to surprise you. The desk did not really disappear. It was just covered by a cloth. See?" Miss Lee said, showing them the cloth.
+
+Lily and Tom looked at the desk. They saw their papers and crayons. They were still there. They were not gone.
+
+"Oh, I see. It was a joke," Lily said.
+
+"It was a funny joke," Tom said.
+
+They laughed. They were not scared anymore. They were happy again.
+
+They thanked Miss Lee for the joke. They went back to the desk. They continued to draw pictures and share them. They had fun. They liked their teacher. She was very generous. She liked to make them laugh.
+One day, Tom and Lily wanted to walk to the park. They liked to play on the swings and slides. But they had to cross a big road with many cars. Tom and Lily did not know how to cross the road safely.
+
+They saw a band of people walking on the sidewalk. They had drums and guitars and horns. They made loud and happy music. Tom and Lily liked the music. They followed the band.
+
+"Where are you going?" a man in the band asked them. He had a big hat and a shiny trumpet.
+
+"We want to go to the park," Tom said.
+
+"The park is on the other side of the road," the man said. "But you cannot cross the road by yourselves. It is too dangerous. You need a grown-up to help you."
+
+"Who can help us?" Lily asked.
+
+"I can help you," the man said. "I am the leader of the band. I am wise and kind. I know how to cross the road. Follow me and I will show you."
+
+The man took Tom and Lily by the hand. He waited for the green light and the white man. He looked left and right. He said, "Now we can cross the road. Walk with me and stay close."
+
+Tom and Lily walked with the man and the band. They crossed the road safely. They thanked the man for his help.
+
+"You are welcome," the man said. "Have fun at the park. And remember, always be careful when you cross the road."
+
+Tom and Lily waved goodbye to the man and the band. They ran to the swings and slides. They had a lot of fun. They learned a new lesson. They made new friends. They were happy.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with balls and cars and dolls. One day, they find a big rubber in the park. It is cool and soft and shiny. They want to play with it.
+
+They take turns to hold the rubber and pass it to each other. They make funny noises and shapes with it. They have fun. But then, a big dog comes. It sees the rubber and wants it too. It runs to Tom and Jen and barks.
+
+Tom and Jen are scared. They try to run away, but the dog is faster. It jumps on Tom and bites his arm. Tom drops the rubber and cries. Jen screams and runs to help him. The dog grabs the rubber and runs away.
+
+Tom and Jen are hurt and sad. They have no rubber and no fun. They go home and tell their moms. Their moms hug them and take them to the doctor. The doctor gives them medicine and bandages. He says they will be okay, but they have to be careful.
+
+Tom and Jen learn a lesson. They should not play with things they do not know. They should not go near big dogs. They should stay safe and happy.
+Lily liked her bicycle. It was pink and had a cute basket. She put her doll in the basket and rode to the park. She saw many flowers and birds on the way.
+
+At the park, she saw a big dog. The dog was not cute. It was scary. It barked and ran to Lily. Lily was afraid. She wanted to escape. She pedaled fast on her bicycle. The dog chased her.
+
+Lily saw a gate. She rode through the gate. The dog could not follow her. The gate was closed. Lily was safe. She was happy. She hugged her doll and smiled. She rode back home on her bicycle. She told her mom about the dog. Her mom hugged her and said she was brave. Lily felt proud. She loved her bicycle.
+Lily and Max were playing at the park. They liked to go on the slide, the swings and the seesaw. But today, the sun was very hot and bright. The slide was metal and it burned their skin when they touched it.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried, as she slid down the slide and felt the heat. "The slide is too hot! It hurts!"
+
+Max was behind her and he also felt the burn. He wanted to stop, but he couldn't. He slid down after Lily and bumped into her.
+
+"Ouch!" Max said, as he rubbed his legs. "That was not fun! Why is the slide so hot?"
+
+They looked up and saw the sun in the sky. It was big and yellow and far away. But it made everything hot and dry.
+
+"Maybe the sun is angry," Lily said, as she shaded her eyes. "Maybe it wants us to go away."
+
+Max nodded. He was thirsty and tired. He didn't like the sun. He wished it would go away.
+
+"Let's go home," he said, as he took Lily's hand. "Maybe we can play with the hose and cool down."
+
+Lily agreed. She also wanted to play with the water and feel fresh. She didn't like the slide anymore. She hoped the sun would be nicer tomorrow.
+Anna liked to play with her doll, Lily. She would lead Lily around the house and show her different things. She would say, "Look, Lily, this is a book. You can read it. This is a ball. You can bounce it. This is an orange. You can eat it."
+
+One day, Anna found a smooth stone in the garden. It was shiny and round. She thought it was pretty. She wanted to show it to Lily. She said, "Look, Lily, this is a stone. You can hold it. It is smooth and nice."
+
+But when she got to the living room, she saw her brother, Ben, playing with Lily. He had taken off her dress and hat and put them on his teddy bear. He was making funny noises and laughing. Anna was angry. She said, "Ben, give me back Lily! She is my doll, not yours! You are mean!"
+
+Ben did not listen. He said, "No, Lily is my friend now. She likes my teddy bear better. You can have this orange instead. It is good for you."
+
+He threw the orange at Anna. It hit her in the face and made her cry. The stone fell from her hand and rolled under the sofa. Anna was sad. She wanted Lily and the stone. She did not want the orange.
+
+She ran to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. Ben was wrong to take your doll and throw the orange at you. He should say sorry and give you back Lily. Let's go and talk to him."
+
+She took Anna by the hand and led her to the living room. She saw Ben still playing with Lily and the teddy bear. She said, "Ben, what did you do to your sister? You hurt her feelings and made her cry. That was not nice. You should share your toys and be kind."
+
+Ben looked at his mom and felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Anna. I was just having fun. I didn't mean to be mean. Here, you can have Lily back. She is your doll. And I'm sorry I threw the orange at you. Do you want it?"
+
+He gave Lily and the orange to Anna. Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. I'm sorry I was angry. Do you want to see my stone? It is smooth and pretty. I found it in the garden. We can play with it together."
+
+She reached under the sofa and got the stone. She showed it to Ben. He said, "Wow, that is a nice stone. Can I hold it?"
+
+She said, "Yes, you can. But be careful. It is special to me."
+
+They held the stone and looked at it. It was smooth and shiny. They liked it. They decided to play with Lily, the teddy bear, the orange and the stone. They had fun. They were happy. They were friends.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were heroes with super powers. Lila could glow like a star and Ben could run very fast. They chased each other and laughed.
+
+But then they saw a big bee. It buzzed near the flowers and looked angry. Lila and Ben were scared of the bee. They did not want to get stung.
+
+"Help!" Lila cried. "The bee is coming!"
+
+Ben had an idea. He ran to the lemon tree and picked a lemon. He squeezed it hard and made some juice. He threw the juice at the bee.
+
+"Take that, bee!" Ben shouted. "This is sour!"
+
+The bee did not like the sour juice. It flew away, leaving Lila and Ben alone.
+
+"Wow, Ben, you are a hero!" Lila said. "You saved me from the bee!"
+
+Ben smiled and hugged Lila. "You are a hero too, Lila. You can glow and make everything bright!"
+
+They went back to playing and glowing and running. They were happy and brave. They were heroes.
+Mia and Leo are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But today, it is very cold outside. Mommy says they have to stay inside and be quiet.
+
+Mia and Leo are bored. They want to have fun. They look at their big blanket on the bed. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's make a fort with the blanket!" Mia tells Leo.
+
+"Yes, let's do that!" Leo tells Mia.
+
+They take the blanket and some pillows. They put them on the floor. They make a tent with the blanket. They crawl inside. They have their own secret place.
+
+They pretend they are explorers in the jungle. They see animals and plants. They make noises and laugh.
+
+But they are not very quiet. Mommy hears them from the kitchen. She comes to their room.
+
+"What are you doing, Mia and Leo?" Mommy asks.
+
+"We are playing fort, Mommy!" Mia tells Mommy.
+
+"We are explorers, Mommy!" Leo tells Mommy.
+
+Mommy smiles. She is happy they are having fun. But she also wants them to be quiet.
+
+"That sounds like a fun game. But you have to be quiet, okay? Daddy is working in his office. He needs to concentrate. Can you do that for me?" Mommy tells Mia and Leo.
+
+Mia and Leo nod. They love Mommy and Daddy. They want to be good.

+Ben likes to dress up as a pirate. He has a hat, a coat, a sword and a patch for his eye. He pretends his bed is a boat and he sails to find treasure. He says "Arrr!" and "Ahoy!" a lot.
+
+One day, he sees something unusual in his garden. It is a big box with a picture of a boat on it. He runs outside and opens the box. Inside, there is a real boat! It is red and white and has a sail and a flag. Ben is very happy and excited.

+Ben and Amy were little kids who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big truck that could make noises and move. They played with the truck every day, and sometimes they fought over it.
+
+One day, they were playing with the truck in the garden, when it started to rain. They ran inside the house, but they forgot to bring the truck with them. The truck was left in the rain, and it got wet and dirty. The rain also made the truck stop working. It could not make noises or move anymore.
+
+The next day, Ben and Amy went to look for the truck. They found it in the garden, but it was not the same. It was silent and still. They tried to push it, but it did not move. They tried to press the buttons, but it did not make noises. They were very sad.
+
+"Can we fix it?" Amy asked.
+
+"Maybe we can restore it," Ben said. "Restore means to make something good again. Maybe we can dry it and clean it and make it work."
+
+They took the truck inside the house and put it near the heater. They wiped it with a cloth and tried to remove the dirt. They waited for a long time, hoping that the truck would work again.
+
+But the truck did not work. It was still silent and still. Ben and Amy were very sad. They cried and hugged the truck.
+
+"Why did we leave it in the rain?" Amy asked.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "It was a mistake. I'm sorry."
+
+They wished they could have their truck back. They wished they could play with it again. But they could not. The truck was broken. They had lost their favorite toy. It was dark in their hearts. The end.

+
+One day, they found a rare toy in the box. It was a shiny red car that made noises and had lights. Anna and Ben both wanted to play with it, but there was only one. They started to pull and tug at the car, each trying to get it for themselves.
+
+"Mine!" Anna shouted.
+
+"No, mine!" Ben shouted back.
+
+They were so loud that their mom heard them from the kitchen. She came to see what was going on. She saw Anna and Ben fighting over the car and frowned.
+
+"Stop that, you two!" she said. "You have to share your toys. Why don't you take turns playing with the car?"
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other. They both wanted the car, but they also wanted to make their mom happy. They decided to settle their fight and agree to share. They said sorry to each other and hugged.
+
+"Okay, mom," Anna said. "We will take turns."
+
+"Good," mom said. "How about you play with the car for ten minutes, and then you give it to Ben for ten minutes? And then you can play with something else together."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They liked that idea. They thanked their mom and went back to their toys. They formed a group with their dolls and cars and pretended to have a picnic. They took turns playing with the rare car and had fun. They learned that sharing was better than fighting.

+Tom and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw many things: trees, flowers, birds, swings, slides. They also saw a big statue of a man on a horse. The statue was hard and gray. It did not move or smile.
+
+"Who is that?" Lily asked Mom.
+
+"That is a hero. He was brave and strong. He fought for our country a long time ago," Mom said.
+
+"Why does he look so sad?" Tom asked. He pointed at the statue's face. The statue had a frown.
+
+"Maybe he was tired or hurt. Maybe he missed his family or friends. Maybe he wished for peace and happiness," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry for the statue. They wanted to make him happy. They picked some flowers and put them on the statue's feet. They sang a song and clapped their hands. They smiled and waved at the statue.
+

+
+"Maybe," Sara says. "You can help me."
+
+They sit by the pond and wait. They see a fish swim near the string. Sara pulls the stick. But the fish is too fast. It swims away.
+
+"Try again," Ben says.
+
+Sara tries again. And again. And again. But she cannot catch a fish. She is sad.
+
+"Maybe we should try something else," Ben says.
+
+He sees a big leaf on the ground. He picks it up and folds it. He makes a boat. He puts it on the pond. He blows on it. The boat moves on the water.
+
+"Look, Sara, a boat!" he says.
+
+Sara looks. She smiles. She likes the boat. She blows on it too. The boat goes faster.
+
+"Let's race," Sara says.
+
+They blow on the boat. They make it go left and right. They have fun.
+
+But then, a duck sees the boat. It thinks it is food. It swims to the boat. It pecks at it. The boat sinks.
+
+"Hey, duck, that's our boat!" Ben says.
+
+The duck quacks. It splashes water at them. Sara and Ben get wet. They are surprised.
+
+They laugh. They don't mind. They like the duck. They say hello to the duck. The duck says hello back. They make a new friend. They are happy.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball and catch it. They saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. But then they heard a loud sound. Boom! Boom! Boom! It was rain. The rain came down fast and hard. It made everything wet.
+
+"Let's go home!" Lila said. "We don't like rain. Rain is wet and cold."
+
+But Ben saw something else. He saw a big, orange and black animal. It had stripes and sharp teeth. It was a tiger. The tiger was in a cage near the park. It looked sad and angry. It roared at the rain.
+
+"Look, Lila!" Ben said. "It's a tiger! A tiger is cool and strong. I want to see the tiger."
+
+Lila was scared. She did not like the tiger. The tiger was big and scary. She wanted to go home.
+
+"No, Ben!" Lila said. "The tiger is not cool. The tiger is mean and dangerous. It can hurt us. We have to go home."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He ran to the cage. He wanted to talk to the tiger. He thought the tiger was his friend.
+
+"Hi, tiger!" Ben said. "Do you like rain? I don't like rain. Rain is wet and boring. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The tiger looked at Ben. It did not like rain. It did not like the cage. It did not like Ben. It wanted to be free. It wanted to eat Ben. It growled at Ben.
+
+"Go away, boy!" the tiger said. "I don't want to play with you. I want to eat you. You are small and tasty. You are not my friend. You are my food."
+
+Ben was shocked. He did not expect the tiger to talk. He did not expect the tiger to be mean. He realized he made a mistake. He was sorry. He was afraid.
+
+"Help, Lila!" Ben said. "The tiger is bad. The tiger wants to eat me. I want to go home."
+
+Lila heard Ben. She was worried. She ran to Ben. She grabbed his hand. She pulled him away from the cage. She was brave. She was smart.
+
+"Come on, Ben!" Lila said. "We have to go home. The tiger is not our friend. The tiger is our enemy. We have to be careful."
+
+They ran to their home. They were wet and scared. But they were safe. They hugged their mom. They told her what happened. She was glad they were okay. She was proud of Lila. She was mad at Ben.
+
+"You should not talk to tigers, Ben!" she said. "Tigers are wild and dangerous. They can hurt you. You should listen to Lila. She knows what is best. You should say sorry to her."
+
+Ben felt bad. He knew he was wrong. He looked at Lila. He saw her wet hair and her scared eyes. He felt sorry for her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lila," he said. "You were right. The tiger was not cool. The tiger was mean. You were brave. You saved me. You are my friend. I love you."
+
+Lila smiled. She forgave Ben. She hugged him. She loved him too.
+
+"It's okay, Ben," she said. "We are friends. We are family. We stick together. We learn from our mistakes. We have fun. We love each other."
+
+They dried their clothes. They drank some hot chocolate. They played with their toys. They forgot about the rain. They forgot about the tiger. They were happy. They were home.

+One day, Lila and Ben go to the park. The gate is open. They run inside. They see a big pond. The pond has water and ducks. Lila and Ben like ducks. They want to feed them.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have bread!" Lila says. She shows Ben a bag of bread. She breaks the bread into small pieces. She throws them to the ducks. The ducks come closer. They quack and eat the bread.
+
+"Can I have some bread, too?" Ben asks. He likes bread. He is hungry.
+
+"OK, Ben, but not too much. We need to save some for the ducks." Lila says. She gives Ben a piece of bread. Ben eats it. He wants more.
+
+"More, please, Lila." Ben says. He reaches for the bag of bread.
+
+"No, Ben, that's enough. You are greedy. The bread is for the ducks." Lila says. She pulls the bag away from Ben.
+
+Ben is angry. He wants the bread. He pushes Lila. Lila falls into the pond. The water is cold and deep. Lila screams. She can't swim. She is scared.
+
+"Help, Ben, help!" Lila cries. She tries to grab the edge of the pond. She can't reach it. The water fills her mouth and nose. She can't breathe.
+
+Ben is scared, too. He doesn't know what to do. He runs to the gate. He wants to get help. But the gate is closed. Someone has locked it. Ben can't open it. He bangs on the gate. He shouts for help. But no one hears him. No one comes.
+
+Lila and Ben are alone. Lila is in the pond. Ben is at the gate. They are both in trouble. They are both sad. The end.

+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. But they did not like to sort their toys when they were done. They left them all over the floor, and their mom was not happy.
+
+One night, Ben and Lily had a bad dream. They dreamed that a big monster came and took all their toys away. They woke up scared and ran to their mom. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, it was just a dream. But maybe you should sort your toys before you go to bed, so they are safe and tidy."
+
+The next day, Ben and Lily decided to sort their toys. They put the cars in one box, the dolls in another, the books on the shelf, and the blocks in a bag. They felt proud of their work and showed their mom. She smiled and said, "Good job, my loves. You are very smart and responsible. Now you can play with your toys without making a mess."
+
+But when they opened the box of cars, they saw that they were all wet and sticky. They had forgotten that they had played with them in the bathtub the day before, and they had not dried them. The water had made the paint peel off and the wheels rust. Ben and Lily felt sad and sorry. They had ruined their toys by not taking care of them.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned that sorting their toys was not enough. They also had to dry them and put them away properly. They promised their mom that they would do that from now on, and she gave them a kiss and a hug. She said, "I'm glad you learned your lesson. I love you, my loves. Now let's go and find some new toys for you."
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big balloon in the sky. It is red and yellow and blue. It looks great.
+
+"Wow, look at the balloon!" Tom says. "I want to go in it and fly."
+
+"Me too," Jen says. "Let's search for it. Maybe we can find it and go in it."
+
+They run after the balloon. They cross the street. They go into the woods. They do not see the balloon anymore. They are lost.
+
+"Tom, I'm scared," Jen says. "Where are we? Where is the balloon?"
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe the balloon flew away. Maybe it ran out of gas. Gas makes the balloon fly."
+
+They hear a loud noise. It is a car. It is their mom and dad. They are looking for them.
+
+"Tom! Jen! Where are you?" Mom and Dad shout.
+
+"Here we are!" Tom and Jen shout back. They run to the car. They hug Mom and Dad.
+
+"We were so worried about you," Mom says. "Why did you run away?"
+
+"We wanted to go in the balloon," Jen says. "It looked great."
+
+"But you should not go away without telling us," Dad says. "You could get hurt. You could get lost. You should stay with us."
+
+"We're sorry," Tom and Jen say. "We were silly. We won't do it again."
+
+Mom and Dad smile. They take them back to the park. They see the balloon again. It is still in the sky.
+
+"Look, there is the balloon," Tom says.
+
+"It is still great," Jen says.
+
+"But not as great as you," Mom and Dad say. They hug them again.
+
+Tom and Jen learn a lesson. They learn that the balloon is not worth leaving their mom and dad. They learn that they should listen to them and stay safe. They learn that they are loved.
+Ben likes to play with his ball. His ball is big and red and bouncy. He can roll it, throw it, catch it and kick it. He likes to roll it to his dog, Spot. Spot is brown and furry and friendly. He likes to chase the ball and bring it back to Ben.
+
+One day, Ben and Spot are playing with the ball in the garden. Ben rolls the ball to Spot, but Spot does not run after it. Ben looks and sees that the ball is stuck on a thread. The thread is long and thin and white. It comes from a hole in the fence. Ben wonders what is on the other side of the fence.
+
+Ben walks to the fence and pulls the thread. The thread moves and makes a sound. Ben hears a meow. He pulls harder and sees a cat. The cat is black and fluffy and angry. It has the other end of the thread in its mouth. It is trying to pull the ball away from Ben and Spot.
+
+Ben does not like the cat. He thinks the cat is mean and greedy. He wants his ball back. He pulls harder and harder. The cat pulls harder and harder. The thread stretches and snaps. The ball flies in the air. Ben and Spot jump and catch it. The cat hisses and runs away.
+
+Ben and Spot are happy. They have their ball back. They roll it, throw it, catch it and kick it. They do not care about the cat or the thread. They only care about each other. They are best friends.
+Lila was a fish who liked to swim in the reef. The reef was lovely, with many colors and shapes. Lila had many friends in the reef, like Bob the crab, Nia the starfish, and Sam the turtle.
+
+One day, Lila saw a shiny thing in the water. It was a ring that a human had dropped. Lila wanted to have the ring, because it was shiny and pretty. She swam closer to the ring, but Bob the crab said, "Lila, don't touch that! It is not for fish, it is for humans. It might hurt you or make you sick."
+
+Lila ignored Bob the crab. She thought he was just jealous of the ring. She swam closer and closer, until she could touch the ring with her fin. She felt a sharp pain, and saw blood in the water. The ring had a hook inside, and it had caught her fin.
+
+Lila cried out, "Help, help! The ring is hurting me!" She tried to swim away, but the hook was stuck. She felt scared and sorry. She wished she had listened to Bob the crab.
+
+Bob the crab heard Lila's cry, and he swam to help her. He used his claws to cut the line that held the hook. He freed Lila from the ring, and said, "Lila, are you okay? I told you not to touch the ring. It was a trap for fish, not a toy."
+
+Lila felt ashamed and grateful. She said, "Bob, I'm sorry I ignored you. You were right, the ring was bad. Thank you for saving me. You are a good friend."
+
+Bob the crab smiled, and said, "You're welcome, Lila. I'm glad you're safe. Come on, let's go back to the reef. The reef is lovely, and it has everything we need."
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with some rocks and grass. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's go!" Anna said. She ran up the hill with her legs and arms. Ben followed her, but he was slower. He was not good at climbing. He stumbled on a rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and cried.

+
+"Run, Anna, run!" Ben said. He forgot his pain and got up. He grabbed Anna's hand and ran down the hill. The lion saw them and ran after them. He was faster than them.
+
+Anna and Ben were very scared. They screamed for help. They hoped someone would hear them and save them.
+
+But then they saw something that made them stop. They saw a big fence with a sign. The sign said, "Zoo. Do not enter. Dangerous animals." They realized they were not in the park. They were in the zoo. They had climbed the wrong hill. The lion was not wild. He was in a cage.
+
+They felt silly and relieved. They laughed and said, "Oops, we made a mistake. That was not a real lion. That was a zoo lion. He can't hurt us. He can't get out."
+
+They looked at the lion and saw he was not angry. He was bored and lonely. He wanted to play with them. He licked his lips and said, "Roar. Can you be my friends? I'm lonely. You look perfect for me."

+
+Mom smiled and hugged the dog. She said it was a gift from their aunt. She said the dog was very nice and friendly and needed a home. She said they could name it and play with it and love it.
+

+Sara loves sunflowers. She likes to look at their big yellow faces and feel their soft petals. She has a sunflower seed that she wants to grow in her garden. She digs a hole with her shovel and puts the seed in. She covers it with dirt and gives it some water.
+
+"Grow, sunflower, grow!" she says.
+
+Every day, Sara checks on her seed. She waters it and talks to it. But nothing happens. The seed does not grow. Sara is frustrated. She does not understand why her seed does not grow.
+
+"Maybe it needs more water," she thinks. She pours more water on the seed. But the next day, the seed is still the same.
+
+"Maybe it needs more sun," she thinks. She moves the seed to a sunny spot in the garden. But the next day, the seed is still the same.
+
+"Maybe it needs more love," she thinks. She hugs the seed and sings to it. But the next day, the seed is still the same.
+
+Sara is very frustrated. She does not want to give up on her seed. She wants to see a sunflower.
+
+She asks her mom for help. Her mom smiles and kneels down next to her.
+
+"Sara, you are doing a great job taking care of your seed. But you have to be patient. Seeds take time to grow. They need water, sun, and love, but they also need time. You can't make them grow faster by giving them more water or sun or love. You have to wait and see what happens."
+
+Sara looks at her mom. She does not like to wait. She wants to see a sunflower now.
+
+"But mom, how long do I have to wait?" she asks.
+
+Her mom shrugs. "I don't know, Sara. Every seed is different. Some grow faster, some grow slower. Some grow big, some grow small. Some grow into sunflowers, some grow into something else. You never know what you will get until you see it. That's the fun of gardening. You have to be surprised."
+
+Sara thinks about what her mom says. She does not like surprises. She likes to know what will happen. She likes to know what she will get.
+
+She looks at her seed. She wonders what it will grow into. She wonders if it will ever grow at all.
+
+She sighs. She decides to give her seed one more chance. She decides to wait and see what happens.
+
+She hopes it will grow into a sunflower. She hopes it will grow soon. She hopes it will make her happy.
+Anna liked to look at the birds in the pet shop. She saw red birds, yellow birds, blue birds and green birds. They sang and flew in their cages. Anna wanted a bird of her own.
+
+One day, her mom said, "Anna, I have a surprise for you." She gave Anna a big box with a bow. Anna opened the box and saw a purple birdcage. Inside the cage was a purple bird. It had a yellow beak and a long tail. Anna was very happy. She said, "Thank you, mom! What is his name?"
+
+Mom said, "His name is Prince. He is a special bird. He can talk. Do you want to hear him?"
+
+Anna nodded. She put the cage on the table and said, "Hello, Prince. I am Anna. I am your new friend."
+
+Prince looked at Anna and said, "Hello, Anna. I am Prince. I am your new bird. Welcome to your home."
+
+Anna smiled and said, "Welcome to my home, Prince. I love you."
+
+Anna and Prince became good friends. They talked and played every day. Anna taught Prince new words and songs. Prince made Anna laugh and sing. They were very happy.

+
+One day, Tim and Mia find a new toy in the closet. It is a big toy car. It has four wheels, two doors, and a horn. Tim and Mia want to play with the toy car. They take it out of the closet and put it on the floor.
+
+"Let's drive the toy car!" Tim says. He sits in the driver's seat and holds the steering wheel. Mia sits in the passenger seat and holds the horn.
+
+"Beep beep!" Mia says. She presses the horn. The horn makes a dull sound. It is not loud or shiny. It is boring.
+
+Tim and Mia look at the horn. They see a wire coming out of the horn. The wire is thin and gray. It is not soft or loud or shiny. It is boring.
+
+"Maybe the wire is broken," Tim says. He pulls the wire. The wire comes out of the horn. The horn makes no sound.
+
+"Oh no!" Mia says. She looks at the wire. The wire has a metal tip. The metal tip is sharp and shiny. It is not boring.
+
+"Look, the wire is shiny!" Mia says. She holds the wire and waves it in the air. The wire sparkles in the light.
+
+"Wow, the wire is shiny!" Tim says. He takes the wire from Mia and waves it in the air. The wire sparkles in the light.
+
+Tim and Mia forget about the toy car. They play with the wire. They make shapes with the wire. They make a circle, a square, a star. They have fun with the wire.
+
+The wire is their new toy. They include the wire in their games. They like the wire. The wire is not dull. The wire is fun.
+Tom and Mia like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the big tank. The tank is green and has a long gun. They can make the tank move and make noises.
+
+One day, they are playing with the tank in the garden. They pretend that the tank is going to a distant land, where there are many animals and plants. They take turns to drive the tank and shoot the gun.
+
+"Look, Mia, there is a lion!" Tom says, pointing to a yellow flower. "Let's shoot it with the tank!"
+
+"Okay, Tom, but be careful!" Mia says, holding the tank's gun. She presses a button and the tank makes a loud bang.
+
+The lion is not a real lion, but a flower. The flower falls to the ground. Tom and Mia laugh.
+
+But then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is not happy.
+
+"Tom, Mia, what are you doing?" Mom says, coming to the garden. "You have broken the flower! That was a gift from Grandma!"
+
+Tom and Mia feel bad. They did not mean to break the flower. They pick up the flower and give it to Mom.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," they say. "We were playing with the tank. We did not see the flower."
+
+Mom is still angry, but she sees that they are sorry. She hugs them and says, "I know you like to play, but you have to be careful. The tank is not a real tank, and the flower is not a lion. The flower is a living thing, and it needs water and sun. You have to respect the flower, and all the living things in the garden."
+
+Tom and Mia nod. They understand. They say, "We will respect the flower, Mom. And we will not shoot it with the tank anymore."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "That's good. Now, let's go inside and have some juice. And maybe later, we can plant a new flower in the garden."
+
+Tom and Mia agree. They follow Mom inside, holding the tank and the flower. They still like to play with the tank, but they also like to learn about the living things in the garden. They are happy.
+Tim and Lily were playing in their room. They liked to make forts with pillows and blankets. They pretended they were brave knights and princesses. They had fun and laughed a lot.
+
+But one day, they heard a loud noise from the closet. It sounded like a growl. They were scared. They thought there was a monster in the closet. They ran to their bed and hid under the covers. They held each other tight.
+
+They waited for a long time. The noise did not stop. They wondered what to do. They wanted to call their mom, but they were afraid the monster would hear them. They wished they had a sword or a magic wand.
+
+Then, Tim had an idea. He whispered to Lily, "Maybe the monster is just lonely. Maybe he wants to play with us. Maybe he is not mean, just different. We should be kind to him. Let's move the covers and say hello."
+
+Lily was not sure. She was still scared. But she trusted Tim. She nodded her head. They moved the covers slowly and looked at the closet. They saw a pair of big eyes and a furry nose. They said in a soft voice, "Hello, monster. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The monster was surprised. He did not expect the children to be friendly. He was shy and nervous. He had never played with anyone before. He came out of the closet and smiled. He said in a low voice, "Hello, children. I am sorry I scared you. I was bored and lonely. I wanted to play with you. Can I join your fort?"
+
+Tim and Lily smiled back. They said, "Sure, monster. You can join our fort. We have pillows and blankets and toys. We can be friends. What is your name?"
+
+The monster said, "My name is Max. Thank you for being nice to me. You are very brave and kind."
+
+They invited Max to their fort. They played and laughed together. They had fun and learned a lot. They found out that Max liked to sing and dance and tell jokes. He was not scary at all. He was just different.
+
+They learned that being different is not bad. It is good. It makes the world more interesting and colorful. They learned that being kind is better than being afraid. It makes the world more happy and peaceful. They learned that being friends is the best thing ever. It makes the world more fun and beautiful.
+Ben and Mia like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make many things with blocks, like cars, houses, animals and towers.

+"Look, our building is almost done!" Ben says. "It is very big and pretty!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Mia agrees. "But we need something more. We need people to live in our building!"

+Anna loved her pet cat, Max. Max was very lazy. He liked to sleep all day on the sofa, or on Anna's bed, or on the sunny window. He did not like to play with Anna, or with his toys, or with the other cats. He only woke up when he was hungry or thirsty.
+
+One day, Anna's mom said, "Anna, we are going to visit grandma and grandpa. They have a big farm with many animals. You can bring Max with you, but you have to put him in a cage. He might get lost or scared on the farm."
+
+Anna was very excited. She wanted to see the farm animals, and she hoped that Max would like them too. She packed her bag and her cat's cage. She put Max in the cage, but he did not look happy. He meowed and scratched the bars. He wanted to stay on the sofa.
+
+"Max, don't be silly," Anna said. "You will have fun on the farm. Maybe you will make some new friends. Maybe you will learn to play and run and jump. Maybe you will not be so lazy anymore."
+
+Max did not listen. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. He did not care about the farm or the animals or the friends. He only cared about his sofa.
+
+When they arrived at the farm, Anna's grandma and grandpa greeted them warmly. They showed Anna their cows, their pigs, their chickens, their horses, and their dogs. Anna was amazed by all the different animals. She wanted to touch them and feed them and talk to them. She forgot about Max for a while.
+
+Max, however, did not forget about Anna. He was very bored and lonely in his cage. He could hear the noises of the farm animals, but he could not see them. He wondered what they looked like and what they did. He wished he could get out of his cage and explore the farm. He wished he could find Anna and be with her.
+
+He saw a chance when Anna's mom opened his cage to give him some water. He quickly slipped out of the cage and ran away. He did not know where he was going, but he hoped to find Anna.
+
+He did not find Anna. He found a big, black, furry animal with sharp teeth and a loud bark. It was a dog, and it did not like cats. It saw Max and chased him. Max was scared. He ran as fast as he could, but the dog was faster. He looked for a place to hide, but he could not find one. He wished he had stayed in his cage.
+
+Anna heard the dog's bark and Max's meow. She recognized Max's voice and ran to find him. She saw him cornered by the dog, who was ready to bite him. She screamed and ran to save him. She picked him up and hugged him. She scolded the dog and told him to go away. The dog obeyed and left.
+
+Anna was angry and worried. She checked Max for any wounds or scratches. She was relieved to see that he was not hurt. She was also proud to see that he had displayed some courage and curiosity. She said, "Max, you are very brave and smart. You wanted to see the farm and the animals. But you should not have run away from your cage. You could have been hurt or lost. You should have stayed with me. I love you and I want to keep you safe."
+
+Max purred and licked Anna's face. He was sorry and grateful. He had learned a lesson. He said, "Anna, I love you too. You are very kind and strong. You saved me from the dog. You showed me the farm and the animals. But I do not want to see them again. I want to go back to the sofa. I like to be lazy."
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with their bikes in the park. They have red bikes with two pedals each. They can go fast and slow, and turn left and right.
+
+One day, they see a big pile of dirt in the park. They wonder what it is for. They go closer and see a sign that says "Do not touch". But they are curious and want to touch.
+
+"Let's bury our bikes in the dirt!" Tim says. "It will be fun!"
+
+"No, that's not a good idea," Sam says. "The sign says no. And our bikes will get dirty and broken."
+
+But Tim does not listen. He pushes his bike into the dirt and covers it with more dirt. He laughs and says, "Look, my bike is gone!"
+
+Sam is scared. He does not want to lose his bike. He tries to pull Tim's bike out of the dirt, but it is too heavy. He calls for help, but no one hears him.
+
+Soon, a man comes with a big truck. He is the one who made the pile of dirt. He is going to use it for planting flowers. He does not see the bikes in the dirt. He starts to shovel the dirt into the truck.
+
+"Stop, stop!" Sam shouts. "Our bikes are in there!"
+
+The man hears Sam and stops. He looks at the dirt and sees the pedals sticking out. He is angry and surprised. He asks, "Who did this? Why did you bury your bikes in the dirt?"
+
+Tim is ashamed. He says, "I'm sorry, sir. I wanted to have fun. I did not think."
+
+The man sighs. He says, "You should not have done that. You should have listened to the sign and your friend. Bikes are not for burying. They are for riding. They help you stay healthy and happy. Now your bikes are dirty and damaged. You have to clean them and fix them."
+
+Tim and Sam nod. They say, "We're sorry, sir. We won't do it again. We will take care of our bikes."
+
+The man helps them get their bikes out of the dirt. He gives them a cloth and a tool. He says, "Here, use these to clean and fix your bikes. And next time, be more careful and respectful."
+
+Tim and Sam thank the man. They work hard to clean and fix their bikes. They learn their lesson. They promise to be more careful and respectful. They ride their bikes in the park, but they stay away from the dirt. They have fun, but they also follow the rules. They are good friends.

+
+Anna is happy and curious. She asks her mom to teach her more numbers. Her mom agrees and takes another paper. She takes a green crayon and draws a circle. Then she takes a yellow crayon and draws a line. She shows her paper to Anna and asks her what number it is.
+
+Anna thinks hard and looks at the paper. She remembers that a circle is a zero and a line is a one. She puts them together in her mind and says, "Ten!" Her mom claps and praises her. She tells her that ten is a bigger number than six and that she is a very clever girl.
+
+Anna feels proud and excited. She wants to create more big numbers with her crayons. She asks her mom for more paper and more crayons. Her mom smiles and gives them to her. She tells her to have fun and to create as many big numbers as she can. Anna nods and starts to create. She loves numbers and she loves to create.

+
+Sara did not know what to do. She was still trembling. She was still miserable. She did not want to eat the vegetables. But she also wanted to have dessert. She did not want to make her mom angry. She did not want to be a bad girl. She decided to try one bite. She picked up a carrot and put it in her mouth. She closed her eyes and chewed. She waited for the bad taste. But it did not come.

+Ben and Lily were happy. They did not play the game anymore. They played with the card with the mother and the baby. They pretended that the mother and the baby were their family. They pretended that they were happy.
+Lily and Max are playing in the park. They like to run, slide and swing. They see a big box under a tree. They are curious. They go to the box and look inside.
+
+"Wow!" Lily says. "Look at all these things!"
+
+The box is full of clothes, toys, books and other things. Some of them have labels on them. Lily and Max start to take them out and try them on.
+
+"I am a princess!" Lily says. She puts on a pink dress and a crown. She finds a label on the dress. It says "Lola".
+
+"I am a pirate!" Max says. He puts on a hat, a coat and a sword. He finds a label on the hat. It says "Jack".
+
+They pretend to be Lola and Jack. They have fun. They make up stories and act them out.
+
+"Arrr, matey!" Max says. "Give me your jewels or I'll make you walk the plank!"
+
+"Never!" Lily says. "You'll have to catch me first!"
+
+They chase each other around the box. They laugh and giggle.
+
+They are having an incredible time. They don't notice that someone is watching them. It is a man. He is the owner of the box. He is not happy.
+
+"Hey, you kids!" he shouts. "Get away from my stuff! That's mine!"
+
+Lily and Max are scared. They drop the clothes and the toys. They run away from the box. They run back to their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom!" they say. "We found a box with labels and incredible things!"
+
+"What?" their mom says. "Where?"
+
+They point to the box. They see the man. He is angry. He is putting his things back in the box.
+
+"Uh-oh," they say. "We better go."
+
+They hold their mom's hand. They leave the park. They are still wearing the labels. They don't know. They are still Lola and Jack.
+Lily was a very obedient girl. She always listened to her mom and dad, and did what they told her. She liked to help them with chores, and play nicely with her toys and books.
+
+One day, mom and dad had to go to the store. They told Lily to stay at home with grandma, and not to open the door for anyone. Lily said yes, and gave them a hug and a kiss. She waved goodbye as they drove away.
+
+Lily and grandma had fun together. They read stories, sang songs, and baked cookies. Lily was very happy. Then, the doorbell rang. Lily ran to the door, but grandma stopped her.
+
+"Remember, Lily, don't open the door for anyone. It might be a stranger. Let me see who it is," grandma said.
+
+Lily nodded, and waited for grandma. Grandma looked through the peephole, and saw a man holding a big bag of lollipops. He smiled and said, "Hello, little girl. I have a special treat for you. Do you want a lollipop?"
+
+Lily loved lollipops. They were sweet and colorful, and made her tongue sticky. She wanted to say yes, but then she remembered what mom and dad had told her. She was a very obedient girl. She did not know the man, and he was not her friend. She did not want to talk to him, or take anything from him.
+
+She ran to the phone, and picked it up. She pressed the buttons, and called mom and dad. She told them what happened, and asked them to come home soon. Mom and dad were very proud of Lily. They said she did the right thing, and they loved her very much. They told her to stay with grandma, and they would be back soon.
+
+Lily hung up the phone, and hugged grandma. Grandma hugged her back, and gave her a cookie. She said, "You are a very obedient girl, Lily. You are also very smart and brave. I have a surprise for you. I have a lollipop for you, too. It is in the kitchen. Do you want it?"
+
+Lily smiled, and said yes. She followed grandma to the kitchen, and saw a lollipop on the table. It was her favorite flavor, cherry. She thanked grandma, and licked the lollipop. It was delicious. She was very happy. She was a very obedient girl, and she got a lollipop.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to water the flowers with the hose. The hose made a funny sound when they turned it on and off. It also made the water spray everywhere.
+
+One day, they saw a big butterfly on a red flower. It was very pretty. Sara wanted to look at it closer. She walked towards the flower with the hose in her hand. Ben followed her.
+
+"Be careful, Sara," Ben said. "Don't scare the butterfly away."
+
+Sara nodded. She was very quiet. She reached the flower and tried to touch the butterfly. But the butterfly flew away. Sara was sad.
+
+"Where did it go?" she asked.
+
+Ben pointed to a tree. The butterfly was sitting on a green leaf. It looked happy.
+
+"Maybe it likes the leaf more than the flower," Ben said.
+
+Sara had an idea. She turned on the hose and aimed it at the leaf. She wanted to make the butterfly come back.
+
+"Stop, Sara!" Ben shouted. "You will hurt the butterfly!"
+
+But Sara did not listen. She sprayed the water at the leaf. The butterfly got wet and fell to the ground. Sara and Ben ran to see if it was okay.
+
+The butterfly was not moving. It looked very sad. Sara and Ben felt sorry for it.
+
+"Sorry, butterfly," Sara said. "I just wanted to play with you."
+
+The butterfly did not reply. It was too tired. Sara and Ben picked it up gently and put it on a sunny spot. They hoped it would feel better soon.
+
+They decided to leave the hose alone. They found some tasty berries and ate them. They shared some with the butterfly. They hoped it would like them too.

+
+"Let's race!" said Tim. "I will use the big boat and you use the small boat. The big boat is faster and stronger. I will win!"
+
+"OK," said Kim. "But we have to be careful. There is an island in the middle of the lake. We have to go around it, not into it. The island has rocks and trees and it can hurt our boats."
+
+Tim nodded, but he did not listen. He wanted to win the race. He pushed the big boat and made it speed. He did not look where he was going. He only looked at the small boat.
+
+Kim pushed the small boat and made it speed too. But she looked where she was going. She saw the island and she steered the small boat around it. She was smart and safe.
+
+Tim did not see the island. He was too busy looking at the small boat. He did not steer the big boat around it. He crashed the big boat into it. The big boat broke and sank. Tim was wet and sad.
+
+"Tim, you are foolish!" said Kim. "You did not listen to me. You did not look where you were going. You hurt your boat and yourself. You lost the race and the boat. I won the race and the boat. I am sorry for you, but you have to learn."

+
+"Look, I made a dress for Anna with pink thread," Lily said, showing her doll to Tom.
+
+"It is very pretty. I made a shirt for Ben with blue thread," Tom said, holding his doll.
+
+They heard a loud noise from the street. It was a big truck that was delivering boxes to their neighbor's house. The truck was very noisy and smelly. Tom and Lily were frightened by the truck. They dropped their dolls and ran to their mother, who was sitting on the porch.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, there is a scary truck outside!" Lily cried, hugging her mother.
+
+"Don't worry, my loves, it is just a delivery truck. It is bringing some things to Mr. and Mrs. Lee. They are not going to hurt you or your dolls," their mother said, soothing them.
+
+"Can we go back to play with our dolls?" Tom asked, looking at the truck.
+
+"Of course you can, but be careful with the needles and the thread. Don't leave them on the ground or the truck might run over them," their mother said, smiling.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and went back to their dolls. They picked them up and checked if they were okay. They were happy to see that their dolls were not damaged by the truck. They continued to play with their thread and needles, making more clothes for their dolls. They forgot about the truck and had fun.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today they want to paint. They have paper, brushes and many colors.
+
+They go to the garden. They find a nice spot under a big tree. They put their paper on the grass. They dip their brushes in the colors. They paint what they see. Lily paints the tree. Ben paints the sky.

+
+But then they see someone. It is Lily's mom. She hears their cries. She comes to help. She sees the dog. She chases it away. She hugs Lily and Ben.
+
+"Are you okay, my loves? Don't worry, the dog is gone. He won't hurt you," she says.
+
+"Mom, mom, we are scared. The dog is bad. He ruined our paint," Lily says.
+
+"Mom, mom, we are sad. The dog is mean. He broke our paper," Ben says.
+
+"I'm sorry, my dears. The dog is not bad or mean. He is just playful. He does not know how to be nice. He does not know that your paint and paper are important to you," she says.
+
+She picks up their brushes and colors. She finds some new paper. She gives them to Lily and Ben.
+
+"Here, you can paint again. You can make new pictures. You can have fun again. I will stay with you. I will keep you safe," she says.
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They thank her. They take their brushes and colors. They start to paint again. They are happy. They are safe. They have a nice mom.

+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tent with many pastries inside. They smelled sweet and yummy.
+
+"Let's go and get some pastries," Anna said. "They look so good."
+
+"But we have no money," Ben said. "And the tent is for a party. We are not invited."
+
+Anna did not listen. She ran to the tent and grabbed a pastry. It was pink and round and had white cream on top. She took a big bite.
+
+"Yuck!" Anna spat out the pastry. "This is not a real pastry. It is fake. It is made of plastic and soap. It tastes bad."
+
+Ben laughed. He saw a sign on the tent that said: "Fake pastries for sale. Prank your friends and family."
+
+Anna felt silly and sad. She threw away the fake pastry and ran back to Ben.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna said. "I was greedy and foolish. I should have listened to you."

+
+"Would you like to hold him?" her uncle asked, smiling.
+
+Anna nodded. Her uncle helped her sit on the couch and put the baby in her arms. Anna felt the baby's soft skin and warm breath. She was very happy.

+
+"Of course you can. Lily is your doll, right?" her aunt said.
+
+"Yes, she is my best friend. She likes babies too," Anna said. She took Lily from her room and brought her to the couch. She showed Lily to Max.
+
+"Max, this is Lily. She is my doll. She has long hair and a pink dress. She is very nice. Lily, this is Max. He is my cousin. He has no hair and a blue onesie. He is very cute. Can you say welcome to him?" Anna said, making Lily talk.
+
+"Welcome, Max. I am happy to meet you. You are very cute. Do you like dolls?" Lily said, in Anna's voice.
+
+Max looked at Lily and smiled. He reached out his hand and touched Lily's hair. He made a sound like "gaga".
+
+"He likes Lily! He likes her hair!" Anna exclaimed.
+
+"Yes, he does. He likes anything that is hairy. He also likes your uncle's beard and your aunt's sweater. He is a hairy baby," her uncle joked.
+

+Tommy was very hungry. He wanted to eat something yummy. He saw a pie on the table. It was a big pie with red and juicy apples inside. It smelled so good. Tommy licked his lips.
+
+He looked around. No one was in the kitchen. He thought, maybe I can have a little bite of the pie. No one will mind. He climbed on a chair and reached for the pie. He took a fork and cut a small piece. He put it in his mouth. It was so sweet and warm. He smiled.
+
+But then he heard a loud voice. It was his mom. She came into the kitchen and saw Tommy with the pie. She was very angry. She said, "Tommy, what are you doing? That pie is for dinner. You are not supposed to touch it. You are a naughty boy. Go to your room now. You will not have any pie tonight."
+
+Tommy felt very bad. He dropped the fork and ran to his room. He was crying. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was just hungry. I didn't mean to be naughty. Please don't be mad at me. Please let me have some pie."
+
+But his mom did not hear him. She took the pie and put it in the oven. She said, "That pie is ruined. I have to bake it again. Tommy is so selfish. He never minds the rules. He makes me miserable."
+
+Tommy was very sad. He lay on his bed and sobbed. He wished he had not eaten the pie. He wished his mom would love him. He wished he could have some pie. He was very miserable.
+Anna was sad. Her big brother Tom was a soldier. He had to go far away to fight. Anna missed him a lot. She wanted to hug him and play with him.
+
+One day, Anna got a letter from Tom. It had a picture of him and his friends. They wore green clothes and had big hats. Tom wrote that he was fine, but he missed Anna too. He said he was proud of her and he would come back soon.

+
+Anna felt sorry for the lady. She gave her a hug. She said "I hope your son comes back soon too". The lady smiled and thanked her. She said Anna was sweet and patient. She said she comforted her.
+
+Anna felt good. She hoped Tom and the lady's son would come back soon. She hoped they would be comforted too. She prayed for them and all the soldiers. She knew they were doing something important. She knew they were her heroes.
+Lily was a little girl who loved to believe in magic. She liked to pretend that her toys could talk, that her drawings could come to life, and that her bed was a rocket that could take her to the stars. Every night, she would make up stories with her teddy bear and her doll, and have fun adventures in her dreams.
+
+One day, Lily went to visit her elderly grandma, who lived in a big house with a big garden. Lily liked to play with her grandma's cat, and to help her water the flowers and bake cookies. She also liked to listen to her grandma's stories, about when she was a little girl like Lily, and about the places she had seen and the people she had met.
+
+That night, Lily slept in a guest room, in a bed that was not hers. She felt a little scared, because the room was dark and quiet, and she missed her toys and her mom and dad. She wished she had her teddy bear and her doll, to keep her company and to make up stories with. She tried to close her eyes and think of something happy, but she could not fall asleep.
+
+Then, she heard a soft voice, coming from under the pillow. She lifted the pillow, and saw a small book, with a shiny cover and a golden ribbon. The voice said, "Hello, Lily. I am a magic book, and I am here to help you. If you open me, you will find a story that is just for you. A story that will make you happy and brave, and that will take you to a wonderful place. Do you want to read me?"
+
+Lily felt curious and excited. She loved stories, and she loved magic. She opened the book, and saw colorful pictures and big letters. The voice said, "This is a story about a little girl who believed in magic, and who had a special friend. A friend who was a fairy, and who could grant her wishes. Do you want to meet her?"
+
+Lily nodded, and smiled. She said, "Yes, please. I want to meet the fairy, and I want to make a wish. I want to have fun, and I want to be happy." The voice said, "Then, hold my ribbon, and close your eyes. And believe, Lily. Believe with all your heart." Lily did as the voice said, and felt a warm and gentle breeze. She closed her eyes, and felt herself flying. She opened them again, and saw a bright and beautiful world, full of flowers and butterflies and rainbows. And there, in front of her, was the fairy, smiling and waving. She said, "Hello, Lily. I am your friend, and I am here to make your wish come true. Come with me, and let's have some fun." Lily reached out her hand, and took the fairy's hand. She felt happy and brave, and she said, "Thank you, magic book. Thank you, fairy. Let's go." And they flew away, to have fun adventures in the magic world. And Lily forgot about her fears, and her sadness, and her loneliness. And she had the best dream ever.

+
+Her mom smiled and said, "An angel is a beautiful person who has wings and a halo. They live in the sky and help God. They are kind and good and love everyone."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I want to draw an angel like that. Can you help me, mom?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course, I can help you. Let's go to your room and find some crayons and papers. You can use white for the wings and the halo, and any color you like for the clothes and the hair."
+
+Lily and her mom went to her room and started to draw. Lily drew a big circle for the head, two small circles for the eyes, a line for the mouth, and a dot for the nose. She drew a long oval for the body, two sticks for the legs, and two more sticks for the arms. She drew two big curves for the wings, and a small circle for the halo. She colored the clothes pink, the hair yellow, and the wings and the halo white.
+
+She showed her mom her drawing and said, "Look, mom, this is my angel. Do you like it?"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I love it, Lily. You are a very successful artist. Your angel is beautiful and happy. I'm sure God and the other angels like it too. You are a very smart and creative girl. I'm very proud of you."

+
+"Let me have the tire first," Tom says. He speaks loud and rude.
+
+"No, I saw it first," Ben says. He speaks soft and kind.
+
+They pull the tire and fight. They are not happy.
+
+A dog comes to the park. He sees the tire. He thinks it is a toy. He runs to the tire and bites it. He makes a hole in the tire. The air comes out. The tire is flat.

+Tom and Ben stop fighting. They look at the tire. They are sad.
+
+"Look what you did," Tom says to Ben. He speaks mean and angry.
+

+
+Tom and Ben feel bad. They know they were wrong. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They pet the dog and thank him. They are friends again.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not fight over things. Share and be kind. A loyal friend is better than a flat tire.
+Sara was very thirsty. She saw a bottle on the table. The bottle had juice inside. Sara liked juice. It was sweet and yummy. She wanted to drink the juice.
+
+But the bottle was too high for Sara. She could not reach it. She tried to jump and grab the bottle. She tried to climb on a chair. She tried to use a stick. But nothing worked. Sara started to cry. She struggled to get the bottle.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, help me!" Sara shouted. "I want the juice!"
+
+Mommy heard Sara. She came to the table. She saw Sara crying and the bottle on the table.
+
+"What's wrong, Sara?" Mommy asked.
+
+"I want the juice, mommy, but I can't get it!" Sara said.
+
+Mommy smiled. She picked up Sara and hugged her. She gave her the bottle.
+
+"Here you go, Sara. You can have the juice. But next time, ask me first, okay?" Mommy said.

+Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play and joke with each other. One day, they find a big box in the park. They want to see what is inside.
+
+Tom says, "I have an idea. You go in the box and I will close it. Then I will open it and you will jump out and scare me. It will be funny."
+
+Ben thinks it is a good joke. He goes in the box and Tom closes it. Tom waits for a few seconds and then opens the box. But Ben does not jump out. He does not move. He does not make any sound.
+
+Tom is scared. He thinks Ben is dead. He cries and calls for help. He says, "I am sorry, Ben. I did not mean to hurt you. Please wake up."
+
+A man hears Tom and comes to see what is wrong. He looks in the box and sees Ben. He says, "Don't worry, Tom. Ben is not dead. He is just sleeping. He must have been tired and fell asleep in the box. He will wake up soon."
+
+Tom is happy and relieved. He hugs Ben and says, "I am sorry, Ben. I will never joke with you like that again. It was not funny. It was mean and dangerous. I love you, Ben. You are my best friend."
+
+Ben wakes up and hears Tom. He says, "I love you too, Tom. You are my best friend. I am sorry, too. I did not mean to scare you. It was not a good joke. It was silly and stupid. We should never play with things we don't know. They might be bad or hurt us."
+
+The man says, "You are right, boys. You should never play with things you don't know. You should always be careful and respectful. And you should always be kind and honest with your friends. Jokes are fun, but only when they are harmless and funny. Not when they are cruel and scary. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Ben nod and say, "Yes, sir. We understand. Thank you for helping us. We are sorry for making trouble."
+
+The man says, "You are welcome. I am glad you are okay. Now, go home and tell your parents what happened. And remember, friends don't joke with each other's lives. They joke with each other's sides. That is how you make each other laugh and happy."
+
+Tom and Ben smile and say, "Yes, sir. We will. Thank you again. Goodbye."
+
+They hold hands and walk home. They have learned a valuable lesson. They will never joke with each other's lives again. They will joke with each other's sides. And they will always be good friends.

+Lily liked peaches. She saw a peach that was enormous. It was bigger than her head. She wanted to eat it. She tried to reach it, but it was too high.
+
+"Help me, Ben," she said.
+
+Ben had an idea. He said, "Let's act like monkeys. Monkeys can climb trees and get fruits."
+
+Lily liked the idea. She said, "OK, let's act like monkeys."
+
+They made monkey sounds and jumped on the tree. They grabbed the branches and swung from one to another. They had fun acting like monkeys.
+
+They reached the enormous peach. They pulled it together and it fell to the ground. They were happy. They shared the peach and ate it. It was juicy and sweet.
+
+They said, "Thank you, tree, for the peach. Thank you, monkeys, for the idea."
+
+They smiled and hugged. They went back to playing in the garden.
+Lily liked to play with her bucket in the sand. She filled it with sand and turned it over to make a castle. She was very proud of her castle. She put a stick on top to make a flag.
+
+But then a big boy came and kicked her castle. He laughed and ran away. Lily was very sad. She cried and hugged her bucket. She wanted to protect her bucket and her castle.
+
+She saw a dog nearby. The dog was friendly and wagged its tail. Lily smiled and petted the dog. The dog liked Lily and licked her face. Lily felt better. She asked the dog to help her make a new castle.
+
+They worked together and made a bigger and better castle. They put shells and stones to decorate it. They put two sticks on top to make two flags. Lily was very happy. She thanked the dog and gave him a hug.
+
+But then the big boy came back. He saw the new castle and wanted to kick it again. He ran towards it. But the dog saw him and barked. The dog ran after him and chased him away. The big boy was scared and ran faster. He did not come back.
+
+Lily was very grateful. She praised the dog and gave him a treat. She said he was a good dog and a good friend. She said he protected her bucket and her castle. They played some more and had fun. Lily was not sad anymore. She was very happy.
+One day, Tom and Anna went to the park with their mom. They saw many things there: trees, flowers, birds, swings, slides. They wanted to play with everything.
+
+"Can we go on the swings, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful and take turns," mom said.
+
+Tom and Anna ran to the swings. They pushed each other and laughed. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They were happy.
+
+But then, they saw something ugly. It was a big dog with brown fur and sharp teeth. It was barking and growling at them. It looked angry and scary.
+
+"Mom, look! A bad dog!" Anna cried.
+
+"Shh, don't make noise. It might hear us," mom said.
+
+Mom took Tom and Anna by the hand and walked away from the dog. She tried to find the owner of the dog, but no one was there. The dog followed them and kept barking.
+
+"Mom, what do we do?" Tom asked.
+
+"We have to manage, Tom. We have to be brave and smart," mom said.
+
+Mom looked around and saw a gate. She led Tom and Anna to the gate and opened it. They went inside and closed the gate behind them. The dog could not get in. It was still barking, but it was far away.
+
+"Are we safe, mom?" Anna asked.
+
+"Yes, we are safe. We are in the zoo. Look, there are many animals here. Do you want to see them?" mom asked.
+
+"Yes, mom. We want to see them. Maybe they are not ugly like the dog," Tom said.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Tom and Anna. They forgot about the dog and enjoyed the sight of the animals. They saw lions, monkeys, elephants, giraffes, and more. They learned their names and sounds. They had fun.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big envelope in the park. It is white and has a red stamp on it.
+
+"Look, Tom, a letter!" Lily says. "Maybe it is for us!"
+
+"Let's open it and see!" Tom says. He tears the envelope and takes out a paper. It has many words on it, but they cannot read them.
+
+"Maybe it is a map," Lily says. "Maybe it shows us where to find treasure!"
+
+"Or maybe it is a ticket," Tom says. "Maybe it lets us drive a real car!"
+
+They pretend the paper is a map and a ticket. They run to the playground and find a cheap toy car. It is red and has four wheels, but it is very old and dirty.
+
+"This is our car!" Lily says. "We can drive it to the treasure!"
+
+They get in the car and make noises with their mouths. They drive around the playground, following the paper.
+
+"Beep beep! Vroom vroom!" they say.
+
+They have fun, but they do not find any treasure. They do not know that the paper is a bill. It is for the cheap toy car. Someone left it in the park because they did not want to pay for it.
+Sara liked to balance on the wall. The wall was high and long. It was near the park where Sara played with her friends. Sara was good at balancing. She could walk on the wall without falling. She felt happy and brave.
+
+One day, Sara saw a bird on the wall. The bird was pretty and blue. Sara wanted to touch the bird. She walked on the wall towards the bird. The bird did not fly away. Sara smiled and reached out her hand.
+
+But the bird was not a real bird. It was a toy bird. Someone had put it on the wall as a joke. The toy bird had a string. The string was tied to a rock. The rock was on the other side of the wall.
+
+When Sara touched the toy bird, the rock moved. The rock was heavy and pulled the toy bird. The toy bird and the rock fell off the wall. Sara was surprised and scared. She lost her balance and fell off the wall too.
+
+Sara hit the ground hard. She felt a lot of pain. She cried and screamed. Her friends ran to help her. They saw blood on her head and leg. They called for help. A man came with a car. He put Sara in the car and drove to the hospital.
+
+But it was too late. Sara was hurt too much. She did not wake up at the hospital. She died. Her friends and family were very sad. They missed Sara a lot. They wished she had not played on the high wall. They wished she had not touched the toy bird. They wished she had stayed alive.
+Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a lovely doll with a pink dress and long hair. Ben has a big truck with four wheels and a horn. They are having fun making noises and moving their toys around.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud noise from the kitchen. It sounds like something is chewing and crunching. They look at each other and wonder what it is. They decide to go and see.
+
+They tiptoe to the kitchen and peek through the door. They see a big dog on the table. The dog has a stamp in his mouth. He is chewing and tearing the stamp with his teeth. The stamp belongs to Anna's dad. He collects stamps from different countries and keeps them in a book.
+
+Anna and Ben are shocked and scared. They don't know what to do. They want to stop the dog, but they are afraid he might bite them. They whisper to each other.
+
+"Ben, that's a bad dog. He is ruining dad's stamp. We have to tell mom." Anna says.
+
+"But mom is not here. She went to the store. How can we tell her?" Ben says.
+
+"Maybe we can call her on the phone. Or we can wait for her to come back. Or we can try to scare the dog away." Anna says.
+
+They think for a moment. Then they have an idea. They grab some pots and pans from the cupboard. They bang them together and make a lot of noise. They shout at the dog.
+
+"Go away, bad dog! Leave the stamp alone! You are not allowed to chew stamps!" They say.
+
+The dog hears the noise and sees the children. He is surprised and scared. He drops the stamp and jumps off the table. He runs out of the kitchen and into the backyard. He barks and whines.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy and relieved. They pick up the stamp and look at it. It is torn and wet. They feel sorry for dad. They hope he won't be too angry. They decide to wait for mom and tell her what happened. They hug each other and go back to the living room. They play with their toys again. They are glad the dog is gone.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see many flowers that bloom. They are red, yellow, pink and blue. They smell good.
+
+"Look, Ben, a bee!" Lila says. She points to a flower. A bee is on it. It buzzes and flies away.
+
+"Wow, Lila, a bee!" Ben says. He likes bees. They make honey. He wants to follow the bee.
+
+"Wait, Ben, don't go!" Lila says. She is scared of bees. They can sting. She holds Ben's hand.
+
+"OK, Lila, we stay here," Ben says. He is a good friend. He does not want Lila to be sad.
+
+They see a lady in the garden. She has a basket. She picks some celery. Celery is green and crunchy. Lila and Ben like to eat celery.
+
+"Hello, lady, can we have some celery?" Lila asks. She is polite.
+
+"Hello, children, of course you can," the lady says. She is kind. She gives them some celery. "This celery is cheap. I grow it myself. It is good for you."
+
+"Thank you, lady, you are nice," Ben says. He smiles.
+
+"You're welcome, children, enjoy your snack," the lady says. She smiles too.
+
+Lila and Ben eat the celery. It is fresh and tasty. They are happy. They have a good day in the garden.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in Anna's big house. Anna's house has many rooms and many furniture. Anna's family is rich. They have a lot of things.
+
+One day, Tom and Anna decide to play organize. They want to make the rooms look nice and neat. They move the furniture around. They put the books on the shelf. They fold the clothes in the drawer. They sort the toys in the box.
+
+"Look, Tom, this room is so pretty now!" Anna says. She points to the bed, the lamp, and the rug. "We did a good job!"
+
+"Yes, we did, Anna!" Tom says. He smiles and claps his hands. "But what about the other rooms? They are still messy."
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She has an idea. "Let's play a game, Tom. We can pretend we are the cleaners. We have to organize all the rooms before the family comes back. Can you do that?"
+
+Tom nods. He likes games. He likes to pretend. He says, "OK, Anna, let's do that. But we have to be fast and quiet. We don't want to make noise."
+
+Anna agrees. She takes Tom's hand. They run to the next room. They start to organize the furniture and the things. They have fun. They are good friends.
+Tom and Lily were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. Then they had to chase it before it went too far.
+
+One day, the wind was very strong. It blew the ball away from Tom and Lily. They ran after it, but the wind was faster. The ball went over the fence and into the street. Tom and Lily stopped at the fence and looked at the ball. They could not get it back.
+
+They felt sad and angry. They wanted to play with their ball. They did not like the wind. They wished the wind would stop. They wished it was a regular day, with no wind.
+
+They sighed and walked back to their house. They hoped their mom would have a new ball for them. They hoped the wind would go away soon. They hoped they could play outside again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and ran to it. But there was a chain on the slide. A sign said "Do not use. Broken."
+
+"Why is the slide broken?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is weak and old." Ben said.
+
+They looked at the chain. It was rusty and had holes. Ben had an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can break the chain and use the slide." He said.
+
+He pulled the chain with his hands. But it was too hard. He could not break it.
+
+"Let me try." Lily said.
+
+She pulled the chain with her hands. But she could not break it either.
+
+They both pulled the chain together. But it did not move.
+
+They looked at each other and shrugged.
+
+"Maybe we should play something else." Lily said.
+
+"OK. Let's go to the swings." Ben said.
+
+They left the slide and the chain. They ran to the swings and had fun.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toy guns in the garden. They liked to pretend they were cowboys and robbers. Lily wore a yellow hat and Tom wore a red scarf.
+
+"Bang, bang, I shoot you, Tom!" Lily shouted, pointing her gun at Tom.
+
+"No, you miss, I shoot you, Lily!" Tom shouted back, pointing his gun at Lily.
+
+They ran around the garden, making loud noises and laughing. They hid behind the trees and the flowers and tried to catch each other.
+
+After a while, they were both tired and thirsty. They decided to stop playing and go inside for a drink.
+
+"Let's be friends, Lily," Tom said, putting his arm around Lily.
+
+"OK, Tom, let's be friends," Lily said, smiling at Tom.
+
+They walked inside, holding their guns and their hats. They drank some juice and ate some cookies. They were happy and had fun.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see an elderly lady on the road. She has a big bag and a stick. She walks very slowly.
+
+"Hello, lady," Tom says. "Do you need help?"
+
+The lady smiles. "Thank you, little boy," she says. "But I am fine. I am going to the shop. I want to buy some bread and milk."
+
+Anna looks at the bag. "What is in your bag, lady?" she asks.
+
+The lady opens the bag. "These are my books," she says. "I love to read. Books are my friends. Do you like to read, little girl?"
+
+Anna nods. "Yes, I do," she says. "I have some books at home. They are about animals and colors and shapes."
+
+The lady nods. "That is good," she says. "Books are fun and smart. They make you learn new things. You are a clever girl."
+
+Tom and Anna feel happy. They like the lady. She is kind and wise. They wave to her as she walks away.
+
+"Bye, lady," they say. "Have a nice day."
+
+The lady waves back. "Bye, children," she says. "Have fun in the park."
+Lily was anxious. She wanted to bring her friend Anna to the park, but she did not know if Anna would like it. Lily liked the swings, the slide and the sandbox, but maybe Anna liked different things. Lily asked her mom if she could call Anna and ask her.
+
+"Sure, honey, you can use my phone. Do you know Anna's number?" Mom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She knew Anna's number by heart. She dialed it and waited for Anna to answer.
+
+"Hello?" Anna said.
+
+"Hi, Anna, it's Lily. Do you want to go to the park with me?" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, I do! I love the park! Can I bring my ball?" Anna said.
+
+"Of course you can! I have my doll. We can play together. Mom will take us. Can you ask your mom?" Lily said.
+
+"OK, I will. Hold on." Anna said.
+
+Lily heard Anna talking to her mom in the background. She hoped Anna's mom would say yes. She crossed her fingers and waited.
+
+"Anna is back. She said yes!" Lily said.
+
+"Yay! I'm so happy! When can we go?" Anna said.
+
+"Mom said we can go after lunch. Can you come to my house then?" Lily said.
+
+"Sure, I can. I can't wait to see you and play with you. You are my best friend, Lily." Anna said.
+
+"You are my best friend, too, Anna. See you soon. Bye!" Lily said.
+
+Lily hung up the phone and gave it back to her mom. She was not anxious anymore. She was excited. She ran to her room and packed her backpack with her doll, a bottle of water and some snacks. She was ready to bring her friend Anna to the park and have fun.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big hill. They want to run up the hill.
+
+"Are you ready, Lily?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, I am ready, Tom!" Lily says.
+
+They hold hands and run. They run fast. They feel the wind in their hair. They see the sky and the trees. They are happy.
+
+They reach the top of the hill. They look around. They see a big slide. They want to slide down the hill.
+
+"Look, Tom, a slide!" Lily says.
+
+"Wow, Lily, a slide!" Tom says.
+
+They let go of their hands and run to the slide. They take turns to slide. They slide fast. They feel the air in their faces. They laugh and shout.
+
+They have fun. They run and slide. They are friends. They love the park.
+Sara and Tom are playing with their toy cars in the yard. They make loud noises and pretend to race each other. They are having fun.
+
+But then they hear a terrible roar. They look up and see a big bull running towards them. The bull is angry and has sharp horns. He wants to chase them away.
+
+"Run, run!" Sara shouts to Tom. "The bull is coming!"
+
+They drop their toy cars and run to the fence. They try to climb over it, but it is too high. They are scared.
+
+"Help, help!" Tom cries. "Who will save us?"
+
+Then they see Ben, their big brother. He is riding his bike on the road. He hears their cries and sees the bull. He is brave and smart.
+
+"Hey, bull!" he yells. "Leave my sister and brother alone!"
+
+He rides his bike towards the bull and makes a loud horn sound. The bull is surprised and stops. He looks at Ben and snorts.
+
+"Come on, bull!" Ben says. "If you want to join me, follow me!"
+
+He rides his bike away from the fence and the bull follows him. He leads the bull to the farmer's gate and opens it. He lets the bull in and closes it. He rides back to the fence and helps Sara and Tom over it.
+
+"Thank you, Ben!" Sara and Tom say. "You are our hero!"
+
+They hug him and he smiles.
+
+"You're welcome, Sara and Tom!" he says. "But don't play near the bull again. He is terrible!"
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they did not like the big dog that lived next door. The dog was loud and scary. Sometimes it barked and chased them.
+
+One day, the dog got out of its yard. It ran towards the park. Ben and Lily saw it and felt nervous. They ran to the slide and climbed up. The dog followed them and jumped on the slide.
+
+"Go away, bad dog!" Ben shouted. He tried to kick the dog with his foot. But the dog was too fast and bit his shoe. Ben cried out in pain.
+
+Lily was at the top of the slide. She saw a pair of sunglasses on the ground. They belonged to a man who was sitting on a bench. Lily had an idea. She picked up the sunglasses and leaned over the slide. She threw the sunglasses at the dog's head.
+
+"Hey, watch it!" the man yelled. He was angry that Lily took his sunglasses. But the sunglasses hit the dog and made it stop biting Ben. The dog was confused and ran away.
+
+Ben and Lily slid down the slide and hugged each other. They were happy that the dog was gone. They said sorry to the man and gave him back his sunglasses. The man was still angry, but he saw that they were scared and hurt. He said it was okay and gave them a band-aid for Ben's shoe.
+
+Ben and Lily thanked the man and went back to playing. They hoped the dog would not come back. They decided to stay away from the slide and play on the swings instead. They felt brave and proud. They were good friends.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. Sara had a mint plant in a pot. She liked to smell it and taste it. Tom wanted to try it too.
+
+"Can I have some mint?" he asked Sara.
+
+"Sure, here you go," Sara said. She gave him a leaf. Tom put it in his mouth. He made a face. It was very strong and spicy.
+
+"Yuck, I don't like it!" he said. He spat it out. Sara laughed.
+
+"It's good for you," she said. "It makes your breath fresh."
+
+Just then, they heard a loud noise. It was a dog barking. They looked up and saw a big black dog running towards them. It had sharp teeth and a long tongue. It looked angry.
+
+"Help, help!" Sara and Tom shouted. They were frightened. They dropped the mint and ran to the house. The dog chased them.
+
+"Go away, go away!" they cried.
+
+Their mom heard them and came out. She saw the dog and yelled at it.
+
+"Bad dog, bad dog! Leave my kids alone!" she said. She picked up a stick and waved it at the dog. The dog stopped and ran away.
+
+Sara and Tom hugged their mom. They were safe.
+
+"Thank you, mom," they said.
+
+"You're welcome, my loves," she said. "Are you okay?"
+
+"Yes, we're okay," they said.
+
+They told her about the mint and the dog. She smiled and kissed them.
+
+"I'm glad you're okay," she said. "But next time, be careful. Don't go near strange dogs. And don't eat too much mint. It might give you a tummy ache."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the tent in the backyard. It was dark outside, but they had a flashlight to see. They liked to pretend they were explorers in a jungle.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found a treasure!" Lily said, holding up a shiny necklace. "It has many colors and sparkles."
+
+Tom took the necklace and looked at it. He saw that it was made of plastic and had a sticker that said "fake". He felt sad. He wanted to find a real treasure.
+
+"This is not a treasure, Lily. This is fake. It has no value. It is just a toy." He said, giving the necklace back to Lily.
+
+Lily did not care. She liked the necklace anyway. She put it around her neck and smiled.
+
+"It is a treasure to me, Tom. It is pretty and fun. I value it because you gave it to me. You are my brother and my friend." She said, hugging Tom.
+
+Tom felt happy again. He realized that Lily was right. The necklace was not fake to her. It was a gift of love. He hugged her back and said:
+
+"You are a treasure to me, too, Lily. You are my sister and my friend. I value you more than anything. Let's keep playing and have fun." He said, turning on the flashlight again.
+Ben and Lily liked to play hide and seek. They took turns to hide and find each other in the big house. One day, they found a new place to hide. It was a little room with a lot of paint and brushes. Ben and Lily thought it was fun to hide there and look at the paint.
+
+But they did not know that the paint belonged to their dad. He was a painter and he worked very hard on his paintings. He did not like anyone to touch his paint or his brushes. He had a big show coming soon and he wanted his paintings to be perfect.
+
+Ben and Lily did not see their dad come home. They were too busy playing with the paint. They dipped their fingers and hands in the paint and made marks on the walls and the floor. They laughed and giggled as they made a big mess. They did not hear their dad open the door of the little room.
+
+Their dad was very angry when he saw what they had done. He shouted at them and asked them why they had ruined his paint and his work. Ben and Lily were very scared and sorry. They did not mean to make their dad mad. They just wanted to play hide and seek.
+
+Their dad calmed down and hugged them. He told them that he loved them, but they had to be careful with his things. He explained that the paint was very important to him and that he needed it for his show. He asked them to help him clean up the mess and to promise not to play with his paint again. Ben and Lily nodded and said they were sorry. They helped their dad clean up and then they went to play somewhere else. They decided to hide in the closet next time.
+Lily loved to paint. She had many colors and brushes and papers. She liked to make pictures of flowers and animals and stars. She always showed her paintings to her mom and dad, who said they were very pretty and gave her hugs and kisses.
+
+One day, Lily found a marble in her toy box. It was shiny and round and had swirls of blue and green inside. Lily thought it was very beautiful and wanted to paint it. She took the marble and her paints to the table and started to make a picture of the marble on a paper.
+
+"Wow, what are you painting, Lily?" her mom asked, coming into the room.
+
+"I'm painting my marble, mom. Look, it has blue and green like the sky and the grass," Lily said, holding up the marble.
+
+"That's a lovely marble, Lily. And your painting is very nice too. Can I see?" her mom said, smiling.
+
+Lily nodded and handed her mom the paper. Her mom looked at the painting and said, "You did a great job, Lily. You captured the colors and the shape of the marble very well. But what is this brown spot here?"
+
+Lily looked at the paper and saw a brown spot near the edge. She frowned and said, "I don't know, mom. I didn't paint that."
+
+Her mom looked closer and said, "Oh, I see. It's not paint, Lily. It's chocolate. Did you eat a yummy chocolate cookie before you painted?"
+
+Lily remembered that she had a chocolate cookie for snack. She had licked her fingers and then touched the paper. She felt a little guilty and said, "Yes, mom. I'm sorry. I forgot to wash my hands."
+
+Her mom laughed and said, "That's okay, Lily. It's not a big deal. It just adds some flavor to your painting. Maybe you can call it 'Marble with Chocolate'. I think it's very creative and original."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I like that name. Can I have another cookie?"
+
+Her mom nodded and said, "Sure, Lily. But this time, remember to wash your hands before you paint again. And maybe don't paint with your mouth."
+
+Lily giggled and said, "Okay, mom. I won't. I love you."
+
+"I love you too, Lily. You're my little artist," her mom said, hugging her.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. Sometimes they found other things, like rocks or seeds or coins.
+
+One day, Tim found something big and round and brown. He showed it to Lily and said, "Look, what is this?"
+
+Lily looked at it and said, "I think it is a potato. Mommy uses potatoes to make soup and fries. She says they grow under the ground."
+
+Tim was surprised. He did not know that potatoes grew under the ground. He said, "Can we eat it?"
+
+Lily said, "No, we have to wash it and cook it first. And we have to ask Mommy if we can have it. Maybe it belongs to someone else."
+
+They decided to take the potato to Mommy and see what she would say. They ran to the house, holding the potato carefully. They were very alert and did not want to drop it or lose it.
+
+They found Mommy in the kitchen. She was making a cake. They said, "Mommy, Mommy, look what we found!"
+
+Mommy looked at the potato and smiled. She said, "Wow, that is a big potato. Where did you find it?"
+
+Tim and Lily told her how they found it in the garden. They asked her if they could eat it.
+
+Mommy said, "Of course you can eat it. It is a very nice potato. You can help me wash it and peel it and cut it. Then we can make some fries or mash it. What do you prefer?"
+
+Tim and Lily were very happy. They said, "We like both. Can we have both?"
+
+Mommy laughed and said, "Sure, why not? You are very lucky to find such a potato. You know, some people don't have enough potatoes to eat. We should be grateful and share what we have."
+
+Tim and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, Mommy, we are grateful. And we will share. Can we mention the potato to our friends and invite them to have some too?"
+
+Mommy said, "Of course you can mention the potato to your friends. And you can invite them to have some too. That is very kind and generous of you. I am proud of you."
+
+Tim and Lily hugged Mommy and said, "Thank you, Mommy. We love you. And we love potatoes."
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, Lily invites Ben to her house. She says, "Do you want to come to my house? I have a pool. We can swim and have fun."
+
+Ben is happy. He says, "Yes, I want to come to your house. I like to swim and have fun. Thank you for inviting me."
+
+Lily and Ben go to Lily's house. They see the pool. It is big and blue. They put on their swimsuits and jump in the water. They splash and laugh. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But then, Lily sees something. It is a hidden toy. It is a yellow duck. It is under the water. Lily likes the duck. She wants to have it. She swims to the duck and grabs it. She says, "Look, I found a duck. It is mine. It is a hidden toy."
+
+Ben sees the duck too. He likes the duck. He wants to share it. He says, "Can I see the duck? Can we play with it together? It is a hidden toy."
+
+But Lily does not want to share. She says, "No, you cannot see the duck. You cannot play with it. It is mine. I found it. Go away."
+
+Ben is sad. He says, "But we are friends. Friends share. Sharing is good. Why are you mean to me?"
+
+Lily does not listen. She holds the duck tight. She says, "Go away. I do not want to play with you. I only want the duck."
+
+Ben feels hurt. He gets out of the pool. He says, "Okay, I will go away. I do not want to play with you either. You are not a good friend. You are selfish."
+
+Lily does not care. She stays in the pool. She plays with the duck. She thinks she is happy.
+
+But soon, she feels lonely. She looks around. She does not see Ben. She does not see anyone. She only sees the duck. She says, "Where is Ben? Where is everyone? Why am I alone?"
+
+She realizes that she made a mistake. She was not nice to Ben. She did not share the duck. She lost her friend. She says, "I am sorry, Ben. I was wrong. I should have shared the duck. I should have been a good friend. Please come back. Please play with me."
+
+But Ben is gone. He went home. He does not hear Lily. He does not see Lily. He does not want to talk to Lily.
+
+Lily cries. She hugs the duck. She says, "I am sorry, duck. You are not a hidden toy. You are a bad toy. You made me lose my friend. I do not want you. I want Ben."
+
+She throws the duck away. She gets out of the pool. She runs to her house. She hopes that Ben will forgive her. She hopes that they can be friends again.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not be selfish. Share what you have. Be a good friend. Friendship is more important than toys.
+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw.
+
+One day, they saw a big red ball in the grass. They both wanted to play with it. They ran to the ball and grabbed it at the same time.
+
+"Let go! It's mine!" Lily shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Max shouted back.
+
+They pulled and pulled, but neither of them would let go. They started to yell and cry. They were very angry with each other.
+
+A lady came over and saw them. She was the owner of the ball. She smiled and said, "Hello, children. Why are you fighting over my ball? You can both play with it, if you share and take turns."
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other. They felt ashamed and sorry. They let go of the ball and said, "We're sorry, lady. We're sorry, friend."
+
+The lady gave them the ball and said, "That's okay. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. The important thing is to forgive and be kind. You are very lucky to have such a good friend. Now, go and have fun with the ball, and remember to share and take turns."
+
+Lily and Max hugged and said, "Thank you, lady. Thank you, friend. We forgive you. We love you."
+
+They took the ball and played happily in the park. They shared and took turns. They were best friends again.
+Lily was a pupil who loved to swim. She went to the pool with her teacher and her friends. They put on their swimsuits and their caps. They waited for their turn to jump in the water.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" said the teacher. Lily and her friends jumped in the water. They splashed and kicked and laughed. Lily felt happy and free. She swam to the other side of the pool.
+
+But then she saw something that scared her. It was a big, green frog. It was sitting on the edge of the pool. It looked at Lily with its big, round eyes. It opened its mouth and croaked.
+
+"Ribbit, ribbit!" said the frog. Lily felt helpless. She did not like frogs. She thought they were slimy and ugly. She wanted to swim away, but she was too afraid. She froze in the water.
+
+"Help, help!" she cried. "There is a frog! I don't like frogs!"
+
+The teacher heard Lily's cry. She swam to her and hugged her. She saw the frog and smiled.
+
+"Don't be afraid, Lily," she said. "The frog is not here to hurt you. He is just curious. He wants to say hello. He is a friendly frog."
+
+She picked up the frog and showed it to Lily. She stroked its back and its head. She made it croak again.
+
+"See, he is not so bad," she said. "He is soft and warm. He is a good swimmer, too. Do you want to touch him?"
+
+Lily looked at the frog. She saw that he was not so big or green. He was not so slimy or ugly. He was just a frog. She felt a little brave. She reached out her hand and touched his back. He felt smooth and wet. He croaked again.
+
+"Hello, frog," she said. "I'm sorry I was scared of you. You are a nice frog. Do you want to swim with me?"
+
+The frog nodded his head. He jumped from the teacher's hand and into the water. He swam next to Lily. They became friends. Lily felt happy and free again. She swam with the frog and her friends. They splashed and kicked and laughed. They had fun at the pool.
+Lily and Tom went to the park with Mom and Dad. They had a picnic on the grass. They ate sandwiches, apples, and cookies. They drank juice and water. They were happy.
+
+After the picnic, Lily and Tom wanted to play. They saw a big black dog near a tree. The dog was friendly. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. Lily and Tom laughed. They wanted to touch the dog.
+
+"Can we touch the dog, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Ask the owner first, dear," Mom said. She pointed to a lady who was sitting on a bench. She had a book and a hat.
+
+Lily and Tom ran to the lady. They said hello and asked if they could touch the dog. The lady smiled and said yes. She told them the dog's name was Max.
+
+Lily and Tom touched Max. They petted his fur and scratched his ears. They threw a stick and he fetched it. They played with Max until it was time to go home.
+
+They said goodbye to the lady and Max. They thanked them for the fun. They hugged and kissed the dog. They went back to Mom and Dad. They packed their picnic basket and their blanket. They walked to the car.
+
+Lily and Tom were tired but happy. They had a good day at the park. They liked the picnic and the black dog. They fell asleep in the car. They dreamed of Max.
+Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. She liked to pretend she was a fairy. She had a purple dress and a purple wand. She waved her wand and said magic words.
+
+One day, she saw a tiny light in the grass. She went closer and saw a real fairy. The fairy was purple too. She had purple wings and a purple dress. She smiled at Lily and said hello.
+
+"Hello, fairy," Lily said. "What is your name?"
+
+"My name is Violet," the fairy said. "I live in the garden. I help the flowers grow. What is your name?"
+
+"My name is Lily," Lily said. "I like to play fairy. Can I play with you?"
+
+"Of course," Violet said. "You can be my friend. Do you want to see my home?"
+
+"Yes, please," Lily said.
+
+Violet took Lily's hand and flew with her. They flew over the roses and the daisies. They flew under the leaves and the branches. They flew to a little hole in a tree. Violet showed Lily her home. It was cozy and bright. There were pillows and books and toys.
+
+"This is my home," Violet said. "Do you like it?"
+
+"I like it very much," Lily said. "It is so pretty and fun. Can I stay here with you?"
+
+"You can stay for a little while," Violet said. "But you have to go back to your home soon. Your mommy and daddy will miss you."
+
+"Okay," Lily said. "But can we play some more first?"
+
+"Sure," Violet said. "What do you want to play?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She had an idea. She took out her purple wand and said, "I want to play magic. I want to make the garden more beautiful. Can you help me?"
+
+Violet nodded. She took out her own purple wand. She said, "I can help you. We can make magic together. We can make the garden more colorful and happy. Are you ready?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I am ready. Let's do it."
+
+They waved their wands and said magic words. They made the flowers sparkle and the bugs dance. They made the birds sing and the sun shine. They made the garden more beautiful and happy. They laughed and clapped. They had fun.
+
+They played magic until it was time for Lily to go. Violet hugged Lily and said, "Thank you for playing with me. You are a good friend. You are a good fairy. Come back soon."
+
+Lily hugged Violet and said, "Thank you for playing with me. You are a good friend. You are a good fairy. I will come back soon."
+
+Lily flew back to her home. She saw her mommy and daddy waiting for her. They smiled and hugged her. They asked her what she did in the garden. Lily told them she played with a purple fairy. They looked surprised and curious. They asked her more questions. Lily told them everything. They listened and smiled. They said she had a big imagination. They said she was a good storyteller. They said they were proud of her.
+
+Lily was happy. She had a good day. She had a good adventure. She had a good friend. She had a good story. She had a good family. She went to bed and dreamed of purple fairies. She was a happy girl.
+Anna liked to whistle. She learned how to whistle from her big brother, who taught her how to blow air through her lips. She whistled when she was happy, when she was bored, and when she wanted to call her dog.
+
+One day, Anna found a piece of gum in her pocket. She remembered that her mom gave it to her as a treat. She unwrapped the gum and put it in her mouth. She chewed and chewed and enjoyed the sweet taste. She wondered if she could whistle with the gum in her mouth.
+
+She tried to whistle, but instead of a sound, she made a big bubble. The bubble grew and grew until it popped on her face. Anna was surprised and laughed. She tried again and made another bubble. She thought it was fun to make bubbles with the gum.
+
+She walked outside and saw a bird on a branch. The bird was blue and yellow and had a long tail. It was very pretty and graceful. Anna wanted to whistle like the bird. She blew the gum and made a bubble, but the bird did not like it. The bird flew away and made a loud noise.
+
+Anna was sad. She wanted to be friends with the bird. She spit out the gum and threw it in the trash. She whistled softly and hoped the bird would come back. She waited and waited, but the bird did not come back. She decided to go inside and find her brother. Maybe he would teach her how to whistle like a bird.
+Sam is a big boy who likes to help his mom. He is very dependable and does his chores every day. He likes to feed the fish, water the plants, and put away his toys. He also likes to write letters to his grandma, who lives far away.
+
+One day, Sam finds a letter in the mailbox. It is from his grandma. He is very happy and runs to his mom. He urges her to read it with him. He says, "Mom, mom, look! A letter from grandma! Please read it with me!"
+
+Mom smiles and hugs Sam. She says, "Of course, my sweet boy. Let's see what grandma wrote." She opens the letter and reads it aloud. Grandma says she misses Sam and his mom very much. She says she is proud of Sam for being so dependable and helpful. She says she loves him and sends him a big kiss.
+
+Sam feels warm and fuzzy inside. He says, "I love grandma too. Can I write her a letter back?" Mom says, "Sure, Sam. That would be very nice. Let's get some paper and crayons."

I miss you and love you. I am a big boy and I help mom. I hope you are happy and healthy. Love, Sam."
+
+Mom helps Sam fold the letter and put it in an envelope. She writes grandma's address and puts a stamp on it. She says, "There, Sam. Your letter is ready. We can mail it tomorrow." Sam says, "Yay!

+Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has a print of a lion on it. The lion looks mighty and fierce.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Ben says. "Can we play with it?"
+
+"Sure, let's pretend it is a lion cave," Sam says. "We can be lion cubs and roar at everyone."
+
+They take the box to the backyard and make a hole for the door. They crawl inside and make lion noises. They have fun.
+
+But then, they hear a loud bark. It is Max, the dog. He sees the box and thinks it is a toy. He runs to the box and bites it. He tears the print of the lion.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Ben shouts. "That is our lion cave!"
+
+"Go away, Max!" Sam yells. "You are not a lion, you are a dog!"
+
+Max does not listen. He shakes the box and makes it fall. Ben and Sam roll out of the box. They are sad and angry.
+
+"Bad dog, bad dog!" they say. "You ruined our game!"
+
+Max wags his tail. He thinks they are playing with him. He licks their faces and barks happily.
+
+Ben and Sam look at each other. They sigh. They can't stay mad at Max. He is their friend, too.
+
+"Fine, you can play with us," Ben says. "But you have to be a nice lion, okay?"
+
+"Okay, okay," Sam says. "But you have to let us roar at you, too."
+
+They laugh and hug Max. They make a new game. They are a lion family. They have a mighty roar. They have fun.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make noises and pretend they were racing. But then Lily saw something shiny on the grass. She left her car and went to pick it up.
+
+"Look, Ben, look!" she said, holding a small metal thing in her hand. "It's a spark! It's so pretty!"
+
+Ben came closer and looked at the thing. He saw that it had wires and a switch. He was curious and wanted to touch it.
+
+"Can I see?" he asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Lily said, giving him the thing.
+
+Ben took it and pressed the switch. Suddenly, there was a loud bang and a flash of light. The thing exploded in his hand and made a hole in the grass. Ben and Lily were scared and dropped the thing. They felt pain in their fingers and ears.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" they cried. "It hurts, it hurts!"
+
+They ran to their mom, who was sitting on the porch. She saw them and got up. She saw the smoke and the hole in the garden. She was worried and angry.
+
+"What happened? What did you do?" she asked.
+
+"We found a spark, mom, a spark!" Lily said. "We thought it was harmless, but it was not! It was a bad spark, a bad spark!"
+
+She showed her mom the thing, which was black and broken.
+
+Mom took the thing and looked at it. She recognized it as a firecracker. She knew that someone had left it in the garden by mistake. She was glad that Ben and Lily were not badly hurt, but she was still upset.
+
+"That's not a spark, that's a firecracker!" she said. "It's very dangerous, you should never touch it! It can burn you or make you deaf! You were very lucky, but you could have been very hurt!"
+
+She hugged Ben and Lily and took them inside. She washed their fingers and put some cream on them. She checked their ears and gave them some water. She told them to rest and be quiet.
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They did not mean to cause trouble. They did not know that the spark was a firecracker. They just wanted to see something pretty.
+
+They looked at each other and said, "We're sorry, mom, we're sorry."
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them. She said, "I know, I know. But you have to be more careful next time. You have to ask me before you touch anything you don't know. You have to be safe and smart, OK?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom, OK."
+
+They cuddled with mom and closed their eyes. They still felt pain in their fingers and ears, but they also felt love in their hearts. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that not all sparks are harmless.
+Ben and Lily liked to play in the mud. They made mud pies, mud castles and mud animals. They had a lot of fun, but they also got very filthy. Their clothes, hair and skin were covered in mud.
+
+Their mom saw them and said, "You two need a bath right now! And you need to wash your clothes and toys too. They are all dirty and broken. Come on, let's go inside and repair them."
+
+Ben and Lily followed their mom inside. They took off their clothes and put them in the washing machine. Then they went to the bathroom and got into the tub. Their mom poured some shampoo on their hair and rubbed it gently. She said, "This shampoo will make your hair clean and shiny. It smells like flowers. Do you like it?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They liked the shampoo. They also liked the bubbles and the water. They splashed and giggled. Their mom rinsed their hair and washed their bodies with soap. She said, "Now you are both clean and fresh. Let's dry you off and put on some new clothes."
+
+Ben and Lily got out of the tub and wrapped themselves in towels. Their mom dried them and helped them put on some new clothes. They felt warm and cozy. Their mom said, "You look much better now. How about your toys? Do you want to repair them too?"
+
+Ben and Lily said yes. They went to their room and found their toys. Some of them were muddy and some of them were broken. They used a cloth, some water and some glue to repair them. They said, "We are sorry, toys. We didn't mean to hurt you. We will be more careful next time."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "You are very good at repairing things. I'm proud of you. And I'm glad you had fun in the mud. But next time, please wear your old clothes and shoes, okay?"
+
+Ben and Lily said okay. They hugged their mom and thanked her. They said, "We love you, mom. And we love our shampoo. And we love our toys. And we love playing in the mud."
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and pretend they were knights and dragons. Lily was a smart knight who could make plans and traps. Ben was a brave dragon who could fly and roar.
+
+One day, they found a big hill that looked like a castle. Lily said, "Let's play here. I will be the knight who guards the castle. You will be the dragon who tries to take it." Ben agreed and flew to the other side of the hill.
+
+Lily set up some sticks and stones as her weapons. She waited for Ben to attack. She heard him roar and saw him fly over the hill. She threw a stick at him and shouted, "Go away, dragon! This is my castle!"
+
+Ben dodged the stick and flew closer. He saw Lily's stones and tried to knock them down with his tail. He swung his tail and hit a stone. But the stone flew back and hit Lily in the face. Lily cried out and fell down.
+
+Ben saw what he did and felt sorry. He landed next to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to hurt you. Are you okay?" Lily looked at him and saw his sad eyes. She touched her face and felt a bump. She said, "It's okay, Ben. It was an accident. I forgive you." She smiled and hugged him.
+
+They got up and dusted themselves off. They decided to play something else. They ran down the hill and found a swing. They took turns pushing each other and laughing. They were still best friends. They liked to play knights and dragons, but they liked each other more.
+Tommy was a smart boy who liked to learn new things. He liked to play with his toys, read his books, and draw his pictures. But he did not like to go to the office with his mom. The office was a big and noisy place, where people talked on phones, typed on computers, and moved papers. Tommy thought the office was boring and loud.
+
+One day, his mom had to take him to the office because his dad was sick and his grandma was busy. Tommy did not want to go, but his mom said he had to. She gave him a backpack with some snacks, a coloring book, and a toy car. She told him to be quiet and good in the office.
+
+Tommy tried to be quiet and good, but he soon got tired of his backpack. He wanted to explore the office and see what the people were doing. He walked around the desks, looking at the phones, the computers, and the papers. He touched some buttons, pulled some cords, and moved some papers. He thought he was having fun, but he was making a mess.
+
+"Tommy, what are you doing?" his mom asked, when she saw him. She looked angry and worried. "You can't touch these things, they are not yours. You are making trouble for the people here. Come back to your seat and stay there."
+
+"But mom, I'm bored!" Tommy complained. "The office is no fun. I want to go home and play with my toys. I don't like the office."
+
+"I know, Tommy, but we have to be here for a little while longer. The office is where I work and earn money for us. It's not a place to play. You have to be patient and respectful. Can you do that for me, please?" his mom asked.
+
+Tommy looked at his mom's face. He saw that she was tired and stressed. He felt sorry for her. He nodded and said, "Okay, mom, I'll try. I'm sorry for making a mess. I love you."
+
+"I love you too, Tommy. Thank you for being a smart and good boy. Now, let's go back to your seat and clean up. Maybe we can find something fun to do together later." his mom said.
+
+They hugged and walked back to their seat. Tommy picked up his backpack and his mom helped him put his things back. They smiled at each other and waited for the office to close.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the farm. They liked to run and hide in the wheat. The wheat was tall and yellow and soft. They pretended they were lions and rabbits.
+
+"Roar!" Lila said. "I am a big lion and I will catch you, little rabbit!"
+
+"Meep!" Tom said. "I am a fast rabbit and I will run away from you, big lion!"
+
+They chased each other in the wheat. They laughed and had fun. But they did not see the big tractor that was coming to cut the wheat. The tractor was loud and scary and had a sharp blade.
+
+"Look, Lila!" Tom said. "A tractor! Let's follow it and see what it does!"
+
+"No, Tom!" Lila said. "That is not a good idea! The tractor is dangerous! It can hurt us! We have to be careful and stay away from it!"
+
+But Tom did not listen to Lila. He was curious and brave and silly. He ran after the tractor. He wanted to see it up close. He did not hear Lila calling him to stop. He did not see the blade that was spinning and cutting the wheat.
+
+Lila followed Tom. She was worried and scared and sad. She wanted to stop him and save him. She shouted and waved her arms. But it was too late. The tractor reached Tom. The blade hit him. He fell down. He did not move. He did not make any sound.
+
+Lila ran to Tom. She saw blood and tears and pain. She cried and screamed and hugged him. But he did not wake up. He did not play with her anymore. He was gone. The tractor had killed him.
+Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play in their living room. They had many toys, but their favorite thing was the big armchair that was soft and cozy. They liked to sit on it and read books, or pretend it was a spaceship, or a castle, or a boat.
+
+One day, they had a fight over the armchair. Tim wanted to sit on it and watch a show on the TV, but Lily wanted to sit on it and play with her dolls. They both pulled and pushed and shouted.
+
+"Go away, Tim! This is my armchair!" Lily said.
+
+"No, it's mine! I saw it first!" Tim said.
+
+They were so angry that they did not hear their mom calling them for dinner. They did not notice that it was getting dark outside, and the living room was dark too. They only saw each other as enemies.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They both hated thunder. It scared them a lot. They looked at the window and saw flashes of lightning. They felt cold and alone.
+
+They stopped fighting and looked at each other. They saw that they were both afraid and sad. They felt sorry for being mean to each other.
+
+"Tim, I'm sorry. I don't want to fight with you. You are my brother and I love you," Lily said.
+
+"Lily, I'm sorry too. I don't want to fight with you. You are my sister and I love you," Tim said.
+
+They hugged each other and moved closer on the armchair. They shared a blanket and a pillow. They felt warm and safe.
+
+Their mom came in and turned on the light. She smiled when she saw them cuddling on the armchair.
+
+"Are you ready for dinner, my sweeties?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, mom. We are ready," they said.
+
+They got up and followed their mom to the kitchen. They held hands and smiled.
+
+They learned that the armchair was not as important as their love. They learned to value each other and share. They learned that fighting was not fun, but being kind was. They learned that the armchair was big enough for both of them.
+Anna liked to print pictures with her crayons. She had many colors and papers. She printed flowers, animals, and stars. She was very happy with her prints.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy with a big lollipop. It was red and shiny. Anna thought it was very attractive. She wanted to have a lollipop too.
+
+She walked to the boy and said, "Hello, I like your lollipop. Can I have a lick?"
+
+The boy looked at her and said, "No, this is my lollipop. You can't have it. Go away."
+
+Anna felt sad and angry. She said, "That's not nice. You should share. I can give you something too. Look, I have these prints. They are very pretty. Do you want one?"
+
+The boy looked at her prints. He saw the flowers, animals, and stars. He thought they were very attractive. He said, "OK, I will share. You can have a lick of my lollipop. And I will take one of your prints. Which one do you want to give me?"
+
+Anna smiled and said, "You can have the star print. I like stars. They are bright and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your lollipop."
+
+The boy smiled and said, "You're welcome. Thank you for the star print. I like stars too. They are cool and sparkly. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. Friends are nice. They share and play together. What is your name?"
+
+The boy said, "My name is Ben. What is yours?"
+
+Anna said, "My name is Anna. Nice to meet you, Ben."
+
+They licked the lollipop and looked at the prints. They were happy and became friends.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big slide in the park. Anna and Ben want to go on the slide.
+
+"Can I go first?" Anna asks.
+
+"OK, you can go first," Ben says.
+
+Anna climbs up the steps. She sits on the slide. She slides down very fast. She laughs and says, "That was fun!"
+
+Ben climbs up the steps. He sits on the slide. He slides down very fast. He laughs and says, "That was fun, too!"
+
+They see a man near the slide. He has a file in his hand. The file is thin and has papers in it. The man looks sad.
+
+"What is that?" Anna asks.
+
+"That is a file," Ben says.
+
+"What is a file?" Anna asks.
+
+"A file is something you put papers in," Ben says.
+
+"Why does he look sad?" Anna asks.
+
+"Maybe he lost something in the file," Ben says.
+
+Anna and Ben go to the man. They say, "Hello, mister. Why are you sad?"
+
+The man looks at them and smiles. He says, "Hello, kids. I'm sad because I lost a paper in my file. It was very important."
+
+"Maybe we can help you find it," Anna says.
+
+"Really? That would be very nice of you," the man says.
+
+Anna and Ben look at the file. They see many papers. They look for the paper that the man lost. They find it. It is at the bottom of the file.
+
+"Is this it?" Ben asks.
+
+"Yes, that's it! Thank you so much!" the man says.
+
+He takes the paper and puts it in his pocket. He hugs Anna and Ben. He says, "You are very kind and smart. You made me happy."
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They say, "You're welcome, mister. We're happy, too."
+
+They wave goodbye to the man. They go back to the slide. They slide again and again. They have fun.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They found many things there, like leaves, nuts, sticks and stones. They liked to sort them into piles by their shapes and colors. They had fun and learned a lot.
+
+One day, they saw a big oak tree with many acorns on the ground. They ran to it and started to pick up the acorns. They wanted to sort them too. But they did not see the sign that said "Do not touch". The sign was there because the oak tree was very old and sick. It could fall down any time.
+
+While Tim and Sam were busy with the acorns, they heard a loud crack. They looked up and saw the oak tree leaning towards them. It was falling down. They were scared and tried to run away. But it was too late. The oak tree fell on them and hurt them badly. They cried and screamed for help.
+
+A man who was walking by heard them and came to help. He called the ambulance and the firemen. They came and lifted the oak tree off Tim and Sam. They took them to the hospital. They had many bruises and broken bones. They were very sad and sorry.
+
+The man who helped them told them that they should have read the sign and left the oak tree alone. He said that the oak tree was amazing, but also dangerous. He said that they should respect nature and follow the rules. He said that they were lucky to be alive. He said that they learned a hard lesson.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not touch what you do not know. Be careful and obey the signs. Nature is amazing, but also powerful.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park together. One day, they saw a big tent in the park. It was red and blue and had many pictures on it.
+
+"Wow, look at that tent!" Lily said. "Can we go inside?"
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it is not for us."
+
+But Lily was stubborn. She wanted to see the tent. She ran to the tent and opened the flap.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it will be fun!" she called.
+
+Ben followed her. He was scared, but he did not want to lose his friend.
+
+Inside the tent, there were many strange things. There were boxes and bags and ropes and lights. There were also people. They were wearing funny clothes and hats. They did not look happy to see Lily and Ben.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing here?" a man with a big nose and a red coat said. "This is our tent. You are not allowed here."
+
+"We are sorry," Ben said. "We just wanted to see the tent. It seemed so nice."
+
+"Well, it is not nice. It is our home and our work. We are circus people. We travel from place to place and perform for people. We need our tent to rest and to practice. You are bothering us. Go away!"
+
+Lily and Ben felt bad. They did not mean to bother the circus people. They ran out of the tent and back to the park.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily said. "I was wrong. I should have listened to you. I was too stubborn."
+
+"It's okay, Lily," Ben said. "We all make mistakes. But we should respect other people's things and privacy. They have their own lives and stories. Maybe next time, we can ask them nicely if we can watch their show."
+
+Lily nodded. She learned her lesson. She hugged Ben and they went to play on the swings. They were still best friends.
+Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and trucks. They had a big box of cars and trucks in Tim's room. One day, they decided to have a race with their cars and trucks. They made a track with books and pillows on the floor.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Tim said. He pushed his red car with a loud vroom. Sam pushed his blue truck with a honk. The car and the truck zoomed along the track. They went over the books and under the pillows. They were very fast and very fun.
+
+But Tim's car was faster than Sam's truck. It speeded ahead and reached the end of the track first. Tim cheered and jumped up and down. "I win, I win!" he shouted. Sam was sad and pouted. He did not like to lose.
+
+"Hey, don't be sad," Tim said. He saw a plate of waffles on the table. His mom had made them for snack time. "Let's have some waffles. They are yummy and sweet. And they are mighty big. We can share them."
+
+Sam smiled and nodded. He liked waffles too. He followed Tim to the table. They each took a waffle and put some butter and syrup on it. They ate the waffles and licked their fingers. They were very happy and full.
+
+"Those were the best waffles ever," Sam said. "Thank you for sharing them with me."
+
+"You're welcome," Tim said. "You are my best friend. And you have a cool truck. Maybe next time you will win the race."
+
+"Maybe," Sam said. "Or maybe we can play something else. Like pirates or astronauts or dinosaurs."
+
+"Okay," Tim said. "That sounds like fun. Let's do that."
+
+They put their cars and trucks back in the box. They grabbed some hats and scarves and swords and rockets and toys. They went to Tim's bed and pretended it was a ship or a spaceship or a cave. They had many adventures and many laughs. They were very happy and very fun.
+Lily was a dog who liked to play. She had a purple ball that she loved to chase and catch. One day, she saw a big bone in the yard. She ran to get it, but it was too heavy for her. She tried to pick it up, but it fell on her head. She felt a bump and said "ouch".
+
+Tom was a boy who liked to watch Lily. He saw her try to get the bone and he laughed. He thought it was funny. He went to help her, but she was not happy. She barked at him and showed her teeth. She wanted the bone for herself. She did not want to share.
+
+Tom was sad. He did not want to make Lily mad. He wanted to be her friend. He had an idea. He got another ball from the house. It was yellow and squeaky. He threw it in the air and said "look, Lily, a ball". Lily heard the squeak and saw the ball. She forgot about the bone and ran to the ball. She caught it and wagged her tail. She was happy.
+
+Tom and Lily played with the ball and the bone. They took turns and shared. They had fun. They laughed and smiled. They were friends.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were explorers, looking for new things. They had a big box that they used as a boat, and some sticks that they used as oars.
+
+"Let's go to the swamp!" Tim said. "Maybe we can find some frogs or snakes!"
+
+"Okay!" Lily agreed. "But be careful, it might be scary!"
+
+They dragged the box to the edge of the pond, where the water was green and smelly. They attached the sticks to the box with some string, and climbed inside. They started to row, making splashing noises.
+
+"Look, there's a big log!" Lily pointed. "Maybe we can land there and rest!"
+
+But as they got closer, they saw that the log was not a log at all. It was a big, scaly, unknown animal, with a long tail and sharp teeth. It opened its mouth and roared at them.
+
+"Ah, it's a crocodile!" Tim shouted. "Row, row, row!"
+
+They turned the box around and rowed as fast as they could. The crocodile chased them, snapping its jaws. They reached the shore and jumped out of the box, running to the house.
+
+"Mom, mom, we saw a crocodile in the swamp!" they cried.
+
+Mom came out and hugged them. "Oh, you poor things, you must have been so scared! There's no crocodile in the pond, it's just a big toy that your dad put there for Halloween. He wanted to surprise you, but I guess he scared you instead. I'm sorry, he didn't mean to."
+
+Tim and Lily looked at each other. They felt silly, but also relieved. They decided they didn't want to play in the swamp anymore. They preferred to play in the sandbox, where there were no unknown animals.
+Sam liked to zoom around the house with his toy car. He made loud noises as he pretended to be a racer. He zoomed in the living room, the kitchen, and the hallway. He had so much fun that he did not see his mom's bookshelf.
+
+Crash! Sam zoomed into the bookshelf and knocked down some books. He heard his mom yell from the other room. "Sam, what was that? Are you okay?"
+
+Sam felt worried. He knew he made a mess and he might be in trouble. He wanted to hide, but he also wanted to say sorry. He picked up his toy car and looked at the books. Some had pictures of animals, some had words he did not know.
+
+"Mom, I'm sorry," he said in a small voice. "I zoomed into your bookshelf and made the books fall."
+
+His mom came into the room and saw the books on the floor. She was not happy, but she was not angry either. She hugged Sam and said, "I'm glad you're okay, Sam. But you have to be careful when you zoom around the house. You could hurt yourself or break something. Do you understand?"
+
+Sam nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry."
+
+His mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Sam. I forgive you. But you have to help me put the books back on the bookshelf. And maybe you can look at some of them with me later. They have interesting stories and facts."
+
+Sam agreed and helped his mom tidy up the books. He felt better and learned something new. He still liked to zoom, but he also liked to read.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and eat chocolate. One day, their mom gives them a big box of chocolate. She says, "You can share this chocolate, but first you have to sort your toys. Put the cars in one basket, the dolls in another, and the blocks in a third. Then you can have some chocolate."
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They love chocolate. They start to sort their toys. Anna is fast and careful. She puts the cars in one basket, the dolls in another, and the blocks in a third. She says, "I'm done, mom. Can I have some chocolate?"
+
+Ben is slow and messy. He does not want to sort his toys. He just wants to eat chocolate. He says, "I'm done, too, mom. Can I have some chocolate?"
+
+Mom looks at Ben's toys. They are not sorted. They are all mixed up. She says, "No, Ben. You have to sort your toys first. Anna did a good job. She can have some chocolate."
+
+Anna feels lucky. She picks a piece of chocolate and eats it. It is yummy. She says, "Thank you, mom. This chocolate is good."
+
+Ben feels angry. He does not want to sort his toys. He wants to eat chocolate. He says, "That's not fair. I want some chocolate, too."
+
+He tries to grab Anna's chocolate. Anna says, "No, Ben. This is my chocolate. You have to sort your toys first."
+
+Ben and Anna start to fight. They pull and push each other. They make a lot of noise. Mom hears them and comes back. She says, "Stop, stop, stop. What are you doing? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Ben says, "I want some chocolate. Anna has some and I don't."
+
+Anna says, "But I sorted my toys and he didn't. He has to sort his toys first."
+
+Mom says, "Ben, you have to sort your toys first. That's the rule. If you sort your toys, you can have some chocolate. If you don't, you can't. It's that simple."
+
+Ben says, "But I don't want to sort my toys. I want to eat chocolate."
+
+Mom says, "That's not how it works, Ben. You have to do your work before you have your reward. That's how you learn to be responsible and fair. Anna did her work, so she deserves her reward. You didn't do your work, so you don't deserve your reward. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He looks at Anna's chocolate. He looks at his toys. He says, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry, Anna. I was wrong. I will sort my toys now."
+
+Mom says, "That's good, Ben. I'm proud of you. If you sort your toys, you can have some chocolate, too."
+
+Ben says, "Thank you, mom. I will sort my toys now."
+
+He starts to sort his toys. He puts the cars in one basket, the dolls in another, and the blocks in a third. He says, "I'm done, mom. Can I have some chocolate now?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, Ben. You can have some chocolate now. You did a good job. Here you go."
+
+She gives Ben a piece of chocolate. He eats it. It is yummy. He says, "Thank you, mom. This chocolate is good."
+
+Anna says, "You're welcome, Ben. I'm glad you sorted your toys. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, Anna. I want to play with you. You are a good sister."
+
+Anna and Ben hug each other. They play with their toys. They share their chocolate. They are happy. Mom smiles and says, "You are both lucky. You have each other and you have chocolate. And you learned a valuable lesson today. You learned that work comes before reward, and that sharing is caring. I love you both."
+
+The end.
+Tommy hates baseball. He thinks it is boring and hard. He does not like to hit the ball or run or catch. He likes to play with cars and trucks and dinosaurs. He has many toys that he loves.
+
+One day, his dad takes him to a baseball game. His dad loves baseball. He says it is fun and exciting. He wants Tommy to love it too. He buys him a hat and a glove and a hot dog. He shows him the players and the field and the score.
+
+Tommy tries to be happy, but he is not. He does not care about the players or the field or the score. He thinks the hat is too big and the glove is too small and the hot dog is too hot. He wants to go home and play with his toys.
+
+He tells his dad he hates baseball. His dad is sad. He says he is sorry. He says he just wanted to share something he loves with Tommy. He says he loves Tommy more than anything.
+
+Tommy feels bad. He does not want to make his dad sad. He says he is sorry too. He says he loves his dad more than anything. He says he will try to like baseball, but he does not promise.
+
+His dad smiles. He says he understands. He says he does not expect Tommy to like everything he likes. He says he is proud of Tommy for being honest and kind. He says he is happy to have a regular son who likes regular things. He says he will take him home and play with his toys.
+
+Tommy smiles too. He says he is happy to have a regular dad who loves him. He says he will try to be more open to new things, but he does not promise. He says he will always love his dad, even if he hates baseball.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to climb. They climbed trees, rocks, walls and anything they could find. One day, they saw a big boat by the lake. They wanted to climb on the boat and see what was inside.
+
+They ran to the boat and climbed on the deck. They saw nets, hooks, buckets and a lot of fish. They were very curious and touched everything. They did not see the fisherman who owned the boat. He was sleeping in a small cabin.
+
+Suddenly, the fisherman woke up and heard noises. He came out of the cabin and saw Tom and Lily. He was angry and shouted, "Hey, what are you doing on my boat? Get off, you naughty children!"
+
+Tom and Lily were scared and sorry. They did not mean to make the fisherman mad. They said, "We are sorry, sir. We just wanted to climb and see your boat. We like your fish. They are pretty and shiny."
+
+The fisherman saw that Tom and Lily were not bad, just curious. He calmed down and said, "Well, I guess you are not thieves, just climbers. But you should not climb on other people's boats without asking. It is dangerous and rude. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, sir. We understand. We will not do it again. Can we please see your fish? We want to learn about them."
+
+The fisherman smiled and said, "All right, I will show you my fish. But you have to be careful and gentle. And you have to help me clean the boat and the nets. Do you agree?"
+
+Tom and Lily agreed and said, "Yes, sir. We will help you. Thank you for letting us see your fish. You are very kind."
+
+The fisherman taught Tom and Lily about the different kinds of fish he caught. He told them their names, colors, shapes and sizes. He also told them how he used the nets, hooks and buckets to catch them. Tom and Lily listened and asked questions. They learned a lot and had fun.
+
+They also helped the fisherman clean the boat and the nets. They threw away the trash, wiped the deck and folded the nets. The fisherman was happy and proud. He said, "You are very good helpers. You are very smart and brave. You are very grateful and polite."
+
+Tom and Lily were happy and proud too. They said, "Thank you, sir. You are very good teacher. You are very strong and wise. You are very generous and friendly."
+
+They hugged the fisherman and said goodbye. They climbed off the boat and ran back to their home. They told their mom and dad about their adventure. They said, "We met a fisherman today. He had a big boat and a lot of fish. He was angry at first, but then he was nice. He showed us his fish and taught us about them. He let us help him clean his boat and his nets. We were sorry, curious, scared, sorry, happy, proud and grateful. We made a new friend today."
+Mia and Leo were playing in the snow. They wanted to build an igloo, like the ones they saw in a book. They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them together. They made a hole for the door and crawled inside.
+
+"Wow, this is cozy!" Mia said. "We can pretend we live here."
+
+"OK, let's pretend we are wealthy," Leo said. "Wealthy means we have a lot of things."
+
+"What kind of things?" Mia asked.
+
+Leo looked around the igloo. He saw some sticks, some pine cones, and some rocks. He picked up a stick and said, "This is my fishing rod. I can catch many fish with it."
+
+He picked up a pine cone and said, "This is my necklace. It is very shiny and pretty."
+
+He picked up a rock and said, "This is my money. I can buy anything I want with it."
+
+Mia nodded. She picked up a stick and said, "This is my flute. I can play beautiful music with it."
+
+She picked up a pine cone and said, "This is my hat. It is very warm and soft."
+
+She picked up a rock and said, "This is my cookie. It is very yummy and sweet."
+
+They smiled at each other. They were happy with their things.
+
+"Can you guess what I want to do now?" Leo asked.
+
+Mia thought for a moment. She looked at the snow outside. She said, "Do you want to make a snowman?"
+
+Leo nodded. He said, "Yes, I do. Let's go!"
+
+They grabbed their coats and ran outside. They left their igloo and their things behind. They did not need them to have fun. They had each other.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had a big box of dolls and clothes. She liked to dress them up and make them talk. She was cheerful and happy.
+
+One day, she found a new shirt in the box. It was red and shiny. It looked like fire. Lily wanted to put it on her favorite doll, Anna. She took off Anna's old shirt and threw it on the floor.
+
+But Lily did not see that her mom had a candle on the table. The old shirt landed on the candle and started to burn. Lily smelled something bad. She saw the smoke and the fire. She was scared and cried.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, help!" she shouted.
+
+Her mom heard her and ran to the room. She saw the fire and grabbed a blanket. She put out the fire and took the shirt away. She hugged Lily and checked if she was hurt.
+
+"Lily, are you okay? What happened?" she asked.
+
+"I'm sorry, mommy. I wanted to play with the new shirt. It was red and shiny. But the old shirt burned. I was scared," Lily said.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you're okay. But you have to be careful with fire. Fire can burn and hurt. You can't play with candles or matches. Do you understand?" her mom said.
+
+"Yes, mommy. I understand. Fire is bad. I won't play with fire. I'm sorry," Lily said.
+
+Her mom kissed her and smiled. She gave her a new shirt for Anna. It was pink and soft. Lily liked it. She thanked her mom and hugged her. She was cheerful and happy again.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a large box in the garage. They decided to make it their secret fort. They cut out a door and a window and put some pillows and toys inside.
+
+"Let's pretend we are spies and hide in our fort," Tim said.
+
+"OK, but we have to be quiet and not let Mom or Dad find us," Kim said.
+
+They crawled into the box and closed the door. It was very dark inside. They whispered and giggled and told each other stories.
+
+After a while, they heard Mom calling them for dinner.
+
+"Tim, Kim, where are you? It's time to eat," Mom said.
+
+Tim and Kim did not answer. They wanted to stay in their fort. They thought it was fun to lie to Mom.
+
+"Maybe she will go away and we can keep playing," Tim said.
+
+But Mom did not go away. She looked around the garage and saw the box. She opened the door and saw Tim and Kim hiding inside.
+
+"Tim, Kim, what are you doing here? Why didn't you answer me?" Mom asked.
+
+Tim and Kim felt ashamed. They knew they had done something wrong.
+
+"We're sorry, Mom. We were playing spies and we lied to you. We didn't want to leave our fort," Kim said.
+
+Mom was not happy. She told them to come out of the box and go to the kitchen.
+
+"Lying is not a good thing to do. It can hurt people and make them sad or angry. You should always tell the truth and listen to your parents. They love you and want you to be safe and healthy," Mom said.
+
+Tim and Kim nodded. They understood their mistake. They hugged Mom and said they were sorry. They promised to be honest and obedient from now on.
+
+Mom forgave them and smiled. She took them to the kitchen and gave them dinner. They ate and talked and laughed. They were happy to be together.
+
+The end.
+Ben and Mia like to play with their toys in the living room. They have many toys, but their favorite is the train set. The train set has a huge cord that makes the train go around the track. Ben and Mia like to watch the train go fast and slow, and make noises like choo-choo.
+
+One day, Ben and Mia are playing with the train set, when they hear a loud thump. They look up and see their big brother, Sam, coming down the stairs. Sam is much older than Ben and Mia, and he does not like to play with them. He likes to tease them and take their toys.
+
+Sam sees the train set and smiles. He walks over to the living room and grabs the huge cord. He pulls it hard and the train stops. Ben and Mia are sad and angry. They shout at Sam and tell him to give back the cord. Sam laughs and runs away with the cord.
+
+Ben and Mia chase after Sam, but he is too fast. He runs to his room and slams the door. Ben and Mia knock on the door and ask for the cord. Sam does not answer. He lies on his bed and plays with the cord. He thinks he is very clever and funny.
+
+Ben and Mia are very upset. They do not know what to do. They go back to the living room and look at the train set. It is quiet and still. They miss the train and the cord. They sit on the floor and cry. They wish Sam would be nice and share. They hope he will give back the cord soon.
+Sam and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were in a spaceship. Sam had a toy phone with a big red button. He said, "This is the launch button. If I press it, we will go to the moon!"
+
+Mia wanted to press the button too. She said, "Can I press it, Sam? Please, please, please!"
+
+Sam said, "No, Mia. This is my phone and my button. You can't touch it. It is very important. Only I can press it."
+
+Mia was sad and angry. She wanted to have fun with Sam, but he was not nice to her. She waited until Sam was not looking, and then she grabbed the phone and pressed the button.
+
+Suddenly, the phone made a loud beep and a voice said, "Warning, warning, warning. Self-destruct mode activated. Countdown begins. Ten, nine, eight..."
+
+Sam and Mia were scared. They did not know what was happening. They tried to run away, but it was too late. The phone exploded and made a big fire. The fire burned their toys, their clothes, and their skin. They screamed and cried, but no one could help them. Their mom and dad were in the kitchen, and they did not hear them. They were too distant. The phone did not provide fun, it provided pain. Sam and Mia were sorry they pressed the button, but it was too late. The end.
+Tom did not like to go to the barber. He did not like the noise of the scissors and the clippers. He did not like the way the barber pulled his hair and sprayed water on his head. He did not like to sit still for a long time.
+
+One day, his mom said, "Tom, you need a haircut. Your hair is too long and messy. We are going to the barber today." Tom said, "No, no, no! I don't want to go to the barber! I like my hair!" He ran away and hid under his bed.
+
+His mom looked for him and found him. She said, "Tom, come out. It's not so bad. The barber is nice and gentle. He will make you look handsome and neat. And you can choose a sticker when you are done." Tom said, "No, no, no! I don't want a sticker! I want my hair!"
+
+His mom said, "Tom, please. I know you are scared, but you have to be brave. It's only for a little while. And I will be with you the whole time. You can hold my hand if you want." Tom said, "No, no, no! I don't want to be brave! I want to be under the bed!"
+
+His mom said, "Tom, I'm sorry, but you have to go. You can't stay under the bed forever. You have to surrender and come out. It's time to go to the barber." Tom said, "No, no, no! I don't want to surrender! I want to stay under the bed!"
+
+But his mom was stronger than him. She lifted the bed and pulled him out. She carried him to the car and drove him to the barber. Tom cried and kicked and screamed. He did not want to go to the barber.
+
+But when they got there, it was not so bad. The barber was light and friendly. He smiled and talked to Tom. He showed him the scissors and the clippers and let him touch them. He said, "Don't worry, Tom. I will be careful and fast. You will look great when I'm done."
+
+Tom still did not like to go to the barber. But he did not cry and kick and scream anymore. He sat still and held his mom's hand. He closed his eyes and waited for it to be over.
+
+And when it was over, he looked in the mirror and saw his new haircut. He looked handsome and neat. He felt light and cool. He said, "Wow, I look good. Thank you, barber." The barber said, "You're welcome, Tom. You did a good job. Here, you can choose a sticker." Tom chose a sticker with a dinosaur on it. He said, "Thank you, barber. Thank you, mom. I'm sorry I was bad. I'm not scared of the barber anymore." His mom said, "I'm proud of you, Tom. You were brave and you surrendered. You learned something new today. I love you, Tom." Tom said, "I love you, mom. Can we go home now?" His mom said, "Yes, we can go home now. Let's go, Tom." They went home and Tom showed his dad his new haircut and his sticker. His dad said, "Wow, you look good, Tom. You are a big boy now. I'm proud of you, too." Tom smiled and hugged his dad. He was happy. He liked his new haircut and his sticker. He liked his mom and his dad. He liked himself. He was not scared of the barber anymore. The end.
+Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park, draw pictures and read books. One day, they found a big letter on the ground. It was red and shiny and had a star on it.
+
+"Wow, what an amazing letter!" Anna said. "I wonder what it says."
+
+"Let's open it and see," Ben said. He tore the letter and looked inside. There was a piece of paper with some words on it.
+
+"What does it say?" Anna asked.
+
+Ben tried to read the words, but they were too hard. He only knew some of them. He read: "This is a magic letter. If you say the word 'disappear', you will go to a wonderful place. But be careful, you can only come back if you say the word 'appear'."
+
+"Wow, that sounds fun!" Anna said. "Let's try it. Maybe we will go to a place with candy and toys and animals."
+
+"OK, but we have to remember the word 'appear'," Ben said. "Or we will be stuck there forever."
+
+They held hands and said together: "Disappear!"
+
+Suddenly, everything went dark. They felt a strange wind and heard a loud noise. They opened their eyes and saw a new place. It was not wonderful at all. It was scary and ugly and cold. There were no candy and toys and animals. There were only rocks and thorns and monsters.
+
+"Help!" Anna cried. "This is a bad place. I want to go home."
+
+"Me too," Ben said. "Let's say the word 'appear' and go back."
+
+They held hands and said together: "Appear!"
+
+But nothing happened. They said it again and again, but nothing changed. They were still in the bad place. They looked at the piece of paper, but it was gone. They had lost it when they tore the letter.
+
+They realized they had made a big mistake. They had opened a bad letter that lied to them. They had said a bad word that trapped them. They had forgotten a good word that could save them.
+
+They started to cry. They wished they had never found the letter. They wished they had never said 'disappear'. They wished they could see their home and their parents and their friends again.
+
+But they couldn't. They were stuck in the bad place forever. The end.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the wood near their house. They saw many animals and plants in the wood. They were compassionate to the animals and plants. They did not hurt them or take them away.
+
+One day, they found a big hole in the wood. They wondered what was inside. They decided to look. They held hands and went into the hole. It was dark and cold. They were scared.
+
+But then, they saw something shiny. It was a star. The star spoke to them. It said, "Do not be afraid. I am here to help you. I can grant you one wish. What do you wish for?"
+
+Lily and Ben thought hard. They wished for many things. But they also remembered their parents and their home. They missed them. They said, "We wish to go back to our parents and our home."
+
+The star smiled. It said, "That is a good wish. I will grant it. But you must always believe in me. I am your friend. I will always watch over you."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "We believe in you. Thank you, star." The star twinkled. It said, "You are welcome. Goodbye, Lily and Ben." Then, it lifted them up and flew them out of the hole.
+
+Lily and Ben saw their parents waiting for them. They ran to hug them. They told them about the star and the wish. Their parents were amazed. They said, "We are so happy you are safe. We love you. You are very brave and kind."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They said, "We love you too. We are happy to be home. We are also brave and kind because we have a friend in the wood. A star that believes in us."
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, Tom saw Lily's new doll. It had long hair, a pretty dress and shiny shoes. Tom wanted to play with the doll, but Lily said no. She said it was her doll and she did not want to share.
+
+Tom felt envious of Lily. He thought it was not fair that she had such a nice doll and he did not. He waited until Lily was not looking and he took the doll. He ran away with it and hid behind a tree.
+
+Lily was sad when she saw that her doll was gone. She looked for it everywhere, but she could not find it. She asked Tom if he had seen it, but Tom lied and said no. He pretended to help her look, but he kept the doll behind his back.
+
+Lily started to cry. She loved her doll very much and she missed it. She wished she had someone to hug and make her feel better. Tom saw Lily crying and he felt sorry for her. He realized that he had been mean and selfish. He did not like the doll as much as he liked Lily.
+
+Tom came out from behind the tree and gave the doll back to Lily. He said he was sorry for taking it and lying to her. He said he was envious of her doll, but he did not want to hurt her. He asked her if they could still be friends.
+
+Lily was happy to see her doll again. She forgave Tom and hugged him. She said they could still be friends and they could share the doll. She said she was not envious of his toys, because she liked him more than any toy.
+
+Tom and Lily learned a lesson that day. They learned that taking things from others is wrong and hurts their feelings. They learned that being envious of what others have is not good and makes them unhappy. They learned that being friends and sharing is better and makes them happy. They learned that a hug is more valuable than any toy.
+Lily and Ben were playing outside in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+But then the wind started to blow harder and harder. Lily and Ben felt very cold. They shivered and hugged each other. They wanted to go inside and have some hot chocolate.
+
+"Let's go, Lily. It's too cold," Ben said.
+
+"OK, Ben. But what about our snowman? He will be lonely and cold too," Lily said.
+
+They looked at their snowman. He looked sad and cold too. They felt sorry for him.
+
+Lily had an idea. She took off her hat and scarf and put them on the snowman. She also gave him her napkin to keep his mouth warm.
+
+"There, now he will be warmer and happier," Lily said.
+
+"That's very nice of you, Lily. You are very compassionate," Ben said.
+
+They smiled and waved at their snowman. Then they ran inside to have some hot chocolate with their mom. They were very warm and happy.
+Sam and Mia like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make them zoom on the floor, on the sofa, on the table. They pretend they are drivers and talk to each other.
+
+"Look, Mia, this is my fastest car. It can zoom very fast and win any race," Sam says, holding a red car.
+
+"That's a nice car, Sam, but I like my old car better. It is blue and has a funny face. It can zoom too, but it is also calm and friendly," Mia says, holding a blue car.
+
+They decide to have a race with their cars. They line them up on the floor and count to three. Then they push their cars and watch them zoom.
+
+"Go, go, go, red car! You can do it!" Sam cheers.
+
+"Come on, blue car! You are awesome!" Mia cheers.
+
+The cars zoom and zoom, but the red car is faster. It reaches the end of the floor first and Sam jumps up and down.
+
+"I won, I won! My car is the best!" Sam shouts.
+
+Mia is sad. Her car is slower and loses the race. She picks up her car and hugs it.
+
+"It's okay, blue car. You tried your best. I still love you," Mia says.
+
+Sam sees Mia is sad and feels sorry. He remembers that Mia likes her old car and that it is calm and friendly. He thinks of a way to make her happy.
+
+"Hey, Mia, do you want to play another game?" Sam asks.
+
+"What game?" Mia asks.
+
+"Let's pretend we are going on a trip with our cars. We can zoom to different places and see different things. We can take turns to choose where to go. It will be fun," Sam says.
+
+Mia smiles. She likes the idea of a trip. She thinks of many places she wants to see with her car.
+
+"Okay, Sam, let's play. Where do you want to go first?" Mia asks.
+
+Sam thinks for a moment. He wants to go somewhere that Mia will like too.
+
+"How about we go to the park? We can zoom on the grass and see the flowers and the birds and the swings," Sam says.
+
+Mia nods. She likes the park. She thinks it is a good place for her old car.
+
+"Okay, let's go to the park. Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Mia says.
+
+They hold their cars and make them zoom to the park. They have fun playing with their cars and talking to each other. They are happy and forget about the race. They are good friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the old house. They liked to pretend they were explorers and find new things. But they were also a little scared of the dark rooms and the noises they heard.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a big box!" Ben said. He opened the box and saw a lot of old clothes and toys. He took out a hat and a doll and put them on. "I'm a king and this is my princess!" he said.
+
+Lily laughed and looked for something to wear too. She found a long white sheet and wrapped it around her. "I'm a ghost!" she said. She made a boo sound and floated towards Ben.
+
+Ben was not afraid of Lily. He knew it was her under the sheet. He smiled and said, "Hello, ghost. Do you want to play with me and my princess?"
+
+But then they heard a loud thump from upstairs. They both stopped and looked at each other. They felt a cold wind blow through the room. They heard a voice say, "Who are you? This is my house!"
+
+Lily and Ben were very afraid. They did not know who was talking. They thought it was a real ghost. They dropped their clothes and toys and ran to the door. But the door was locked. They could not get out.
+
+They hugged each other and cried. They wished they had never come to the old house. They wished they were home with their mom and dad.
+
+The voice said again, "Who are you? Answer me!"
+
+Lily and Ben were too scared to talk. They shook their heads and said nothing.
+
+The voice said, "Are you ghosts too? Do you want to be my friends?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They wondered if the voice was friendly or not. They decided to be brave and answer.
+
+Lily said, "No, we are not ghosts. We are kids. We were playing. We are sorry we came to your house. Please let us go."
+
+Ben said, "Yes, please let us go. We are scared of you. We don't want to be your friends. We want to go home."
+
+The voice said, "Oh, I see. You are not ghosts. You are kids. I'm sorry I scared you. I was lonely and bored. I have no friends. I have been here for a long time. I don't know how to get out."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for the voice. They realized it was a sad ghost. They wanted to help it.
+
+Lily said, "Why are you here? How did you become a ghost?"
+
+Ben said, "Can we see you? Can you show yourself to us?"
+
+The voice said, "I don't know why I'm here. I don't remember much. I only remember I was sick and then I was here. I can't see myself. I can only talk and make noises. I can't show myself to you. I'm not clear. I'm invisible."
+
+Lily and Ben thought for a moment. They had an idea.
+
+Lily said, "Maybe you can use the sheet. Maybe you can wrap it around you and make yourself clear. Maybe then you can see yourself and we can see you too."
+
+Ben said, "Yes, try it. Maybe it will work. Maybe it will make you happy. Maybe it will help you find a way out."
+
+The voice said, "Really? Do you think so? Can I try it?"
+
+Lily and Ben said, "Yes, yes, try it. We will support you. We will be your friends."
+
+The voice said, "Thank you. Thank you for being kind to me. Thank you for supporting me. I will try it. I will use the sheet."
+
+Lily and Ben watched as the sheet moved by itself. They saw it wrap around something. They saw a shape form. They saw a face appear. They saw a smile.
+
+They saw a ghost.
+Lily and Sam like to play pretend. They have a big box of costumes and toys. Today, they want to pretend they are farmers and sheep.
+
+Lily puts on a hat and a shirt. She says, "I am the farmer. I take care of the sheep. They are my friends." She picks up a toy bucket and a toy rake.
+
+Sam puts on a white coat and a mask. He says, "I am a sheep. I eat grass and make wool. Baa, baa." He crawls on the floor and nibbles on a green pillow.
+
+They play happily for a while. Lily feeds Sam some pretend hay and water. Sam lets Lily brush his coat and tie a ribbon around his neck.
+
+But then, Sam sees a red ball in the corner. He likes red balls. He wants to play with it. He jumps up and runs to the ball. He says, "Baa, baa, I want the ball."
+
+Lily says, "No, no, you are a sheep. Sheep do not play with balls. You have to stay with me. I am the farmer."
+
+Sam says, "But I like the ball. It is fun. It is fair. I can be a sheep and play with the ball."
+
+Lily says, "No, you can not. You have to follow the rules. It is not fair. You have to give me the ball."
+
+They start to argue. They pull the ball from each other. They shout and cry.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the room. She sees Lily and Sam fighting over the ball. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you not playing nicely?"
+
+Lily and Sam stop and look at Mom. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were playing pretend. We were farmers and sheep. But we wanted the same ball. We did not share."
+
+Mom says, "I see. Playing pretend is fun. But you have to be kind and respectful to each other. You have to take turns and compromise. You have to be fair."
+
+Lily and Sam nod. They say, "You are right, Mom. We will be fair. We will share the ball. We will play pretend again. We will be friends."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "That is good. I am proud of you. Now, how about a hug and a snack?"
+
+Lily and Sam hug Mom. They hug each other. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. We love each other."
+
+They go to the kitchen. They have some cookies and milk. They talk about their pretend game. They laugh and smile. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big hill near their house. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, Ben!" Anna says. "Maybe we can find something fun!"
+
+"OK, Anna!" Ben says. "But we have to be careful. The hill is steep and rocky."
+
+They hold hands and start to climb the hill. They see birds and flowers and bugs. They hear the wind and the leaves. They feel the sun and the grass. They are happy and curious.
+
+They reach the top of the hill and look around. They see a big valley with many trees and animals. They see a river and a bridge. They see a house and a barn. They see a man and a woman.
+
+"Wow, Anna! Look at that!" Ben says. "Who are they? What are they doing?"
+
+"I don't know, Ben. Maybe they live there. Maybe they are farmers. Maybe they have cows and chickens and horses." Anna says.
+
+"Can we go and say hello?" Ben asks.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. Maybe they are nice. Maybe they are not. Maybe they will invite us in. Maybe they will chase us away." Anna says.
+
+They are curious and scared. They want to see more, but they also want to go back. They look at each other and wonder what to do.
+Lily and Ben like to play with their cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. They zoom and beep and have fun.
+
+One day, Lily has a new car. It is orange and shiny and big. She loves her new car. She does not want to share it with Ben. She says, "This is my car. You keep your cars. I keep my car."
+
+Ben feels sad. He wants to play with the orange car too. He thinks it looks fast and cool. He says, "Please, Lily, can I have a turn with your car? I will be careful. I will not wreck it."
+
+Lily says, "No, Ben. You cannot have a turn. You have many cars. You might wreck my car. Go away."
+
+Ben feels angry. He thinks Lily is mean and selfish. He says, "Fine, Lily. If you do not share, I will not play with you. I will play by myself."
+
+He takes his cars and moves to the other side of the room. He makes his own roads and bridges. He zooms and beeps and pretends to have fun. But he does not have fun. He misses Lily. He misses the orange car.
+
+Lily plays with her orange car. She makes it go fast and slow. She makes it jump and spin. She pretends to have fun. But she does not have fun. She misses Ben. She misses his cars.
+
+She looks at Ben. He looks at her. They both feel sorry. They both want to say sorry. They both want to play together.
+
+They put down their cars. They walk to each other. They hug and say, "I am sorry. I was not nice. I want to be your friend."

+They take their cars and mix them up. They make new roads and bridges. They zoom and beep and have fun. They both like the orange car. They both like each other. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben liked to collect things. They had many boxes of things they found in the park, in the street, and in their homes. They had rocks, leaves, shells, buttons, stickers, and more.

+
+One day, they met a new boy in the park. His name was Sam. He also liked to collect things. He had a bag of feathers, coins, marbles, and cards. He showed his things to Lily and Ben and asked if they wanted to trade. Lily and Ben looked at his things and liked them. They said yes, they wanted to trade.
+
+They started to trade their things. Lily gave Sam some rocks for some feathers. Ben gave Sam some leaves for some coins. They were happy with their new things. But then, Sam saw Lily's stickers. He liked them very much. He asked Lily if she wanted to trade some stickers for some cards. Lily said no, she liked her stickers too much. She had worked hard to collect them.
+
+Sam got angry. He said Lily was not friendly. He said he wanted all her stickers. He tried to grab her box of stickers. Lily shouted and held on to her box. Ben came to help her. He told Sam to stop. He said Sam was not friendly. He said they did not want to trade with him anymore.
+
+Sam felt sad. He realized he had been greedy and rude. He said he was sorry. He said he did not mean to hurt Lily and Ben. He said he wanted to be their friend. He gave back their things and asked if they could keep some of his things. Lily and Ben forgave him. They said they could be friends. They said they could share some of their things. They gave him some stickers and he gave them some cards. They smiled and hugged. They learned that collecting things was fun, but being friendly was more important.

+
+"OK, but only a little. Here, swap," Ben says.
+
+They swap their cones and take a bite. They make funny faces.
+

+One day, they wanted to make the train more lively. They found some paint and brushes in the garage. They decided to paint the train with different colors. They painted the engine red, the coal car black, the passenger car blue, and so on. They had fun mixing the colors and making patterns.
+
+But they also made a big mess. They spilled paint on the floor, on the wall, and on themselves. They did not notice that their mom was watching them from the door. She was not happy. She said, "Anna, Ben, what are you doing? Look at this mess! You have to clean it up right now!"
+
+Anna and Ben felt sorry. They did not mean to make mom angry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We just wanted to make the train lively. We like the train." Mom said, "I know you like the train, but you have to be careful with the paint. It can stain and ruin things. Come on, let's wipe the paint off before it dries."
+
+Mom gave them some rags and a bucket of water. They started to wipe the paint off the floor, the wall, and themselves. It was hard work. They had to scrub and rinse and scrub again. They also had to wipe the paint off the rail and the cars of the train. They were careful not to damage the train. They still liked the train, even with the paint.
+
+When they finished, mom said, "Good job, Anna and Ben. You cleaned up the mess. But next time, please ask me before you use the paint. And use a newspaper or a cloth to cover the floor and the wall. OK?" Anna and Ben said, "OK, mom. We are sorry. We love you." Mom said, "I love you too. Now, how about we play with the train together? It looks very lively." Anna and Ben smiled and hugged mom. They played with the train happily. Vroom, vroom, choo, choo!
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make houses and cars and animals with their blocks and dolls and cars. Lily had a big box that she wanted to turn into a house. She asked Ben to help her.
+
+"Ben, can you find some tape for me? I need to stick the box together," Lily said.
+
+"Okay, Lily. I will look for tape," Ben said. He went to the kitchen and opened the drawers. He saw a roll of tape, but it was very thin and shiny. He thought it was not good for sticking boxes. He looked for another tape, but he could not find any.
+
+He went back to the living room with the thin tape. He gave it to Lily and said, "Sorry, Lily. This is the only tape I could find. It is very thin and shiny. I don't think it will work."
+
+Lily looked at the tape and frowned. She said, "Thank you, Ben. But you are right. This tape is not good. It is too thin and weak. It will not hold the box. We need a stronger tape."
+
+They both looked around the room, hoping to find a better tape. They did not see any. They felt sad and disappointed. They wanted to make a house, but they had no tape.
+
+Then, Lily had an idea. She said, "Ben, I remember something. Mommy has a big roll of tape in her office. She uses it for her work. Maybe we can borrow some of it. Come on, let's go and ask her."
+
+Ben nodded and smiled. He said, "Okay, Lily. Let's go and ask Mommy. Maybe she will let us use some of her tape. Then we can make a house."
+
+They ran to Mommy's office and knocked on the door. Mommy opened the door and saw them holding the thin tape. She said, "Hello, Lily and Ben. What are you doing with that tape? That is not for playing. That is for wrapping presents."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other and realized they had made a mistake. They had taken the tape that Mommy was saving for Christmas. They felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "Sorry, Mommy. We did not know. We were looking for tape to make a house with our box. But we could not find any. Can we please use some of your tape? The big roll that you have on your desk?"
+
+Mommy looked at them and smiled. She said, "Of course, you can use some of my tape. But only a little bit, okay? And you have to be careful with it. It is very sticky and strong. And you have to promise to give it back to me when you are done. Do you promise?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Mommy. We promise. Thank you, Mommy. You are the best."
+
+Mommy gave them some of her tape and hugged them. She said, "You are welcome, Lily and Ben. I love you. Have fun making your house. But don't forget to clean up when you are finished."
+
+Lily and Ben said, "We love you too, Mommy. And we will clean up. Thank you again."
+
+They ran back to the living room with the tape. They were happy and excited. They used the tape to stick the box together and make a house. They decorated it with stickers and crayons. They played with their toys inside the house. They had a lot of fun.
+
+They remembered to give the tape back to Mommy and to clean up their mess. They were proud of their house and of themselves. They learned to be careful with things that are not theirs and to ask before they use them. They also learned that Mommy always has a solution for their problems. They thanked Mommy again and gave her a big hug. They went to bed with a smile on their faces. They dreamed of their house and their toys. They were happy.
+Ben and Lily went to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes to unpack. Ben wanted to play with his toys, but Mom said he had to help first. Lily wanted to watch her show on the screen, but Dad said he had to plug it in first.
+
+Ben and Lily were not happy. They thought unpacking was stupid. They wanted to have fun. They decided to sneak away and find their toys and the screen. They looked in the boxes and made a mess. They found some toys and the screen, but they did not know how to make them work.
+
+Mom and Dad came to see what they were doing. They were not happy. They saw the mess and the broken toys and the screen. They said Ben and Lily were naughty and had to clean up. Ben and Lily were sorry. They said they were sorry and helped Mom and Dad. They learned that unpacking was not stupid, but important. They also learned that they had to be careful with their toys and the screen. They hugged Mom and Dad and said they loved them. Mom and Dad smiled and said they loved them too. They finished unpacking and had some fun.
+Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together in the garden. One day, they found a big green fruit on the ground. It was an avocado.
+
+"What is this?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we can eat it," Lily said.
+
+They decided to discuss what to do with the avocado. They sat on the grass and looked at it.
+
+"We can cut it and share it," Tom said.
+
+"But we don't have a knife," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe we can smash it with a rock," Tom said.
+
+"But it might be messy," Lily said.
+
+They thought hard. They wanted to be creative and have fun with the avocado.
+
+"I have an idea," Lily said. "We can make a face with it."
+
+"How?" Tom asked.
+
+"Look, it has a brown seed inside. That can be the nose. And we can use leaves for the eyes and mouth. And we can use sticks for the hair," Lily said.
+
+She showed Tom how to make the face. They worked together and made a funny avocado face. They laughed and played with it.
+
+They were very happy. They had discussed, eaten and created with the avocado. They learned something new and had fun. They were best friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. Mom had a camera and she took many pictures of them.
+
+"Say cheese!" Mom said, holding the camera.
+
+"Cheese!" Lily and Ben said, smiling.
+
+But then, a big dog came running towards them. It barked loudly and jumped on them. Lily and Ben were scared and cried. Mom dropped the camera and hugged them.
+
+"Go away, bad dog!" Mom said, trying to push the dog off.
+
+The dog's owner came and called the dog. He was sorry and said he did not see the leash break. He asked Mom if they were okay.
+
+Mom was upset and angry. She looked at the camera and saw it was broken. She could not take any more pictures.
+
+"Are you okay?" the owner asked again.
+
+Mom did not answer. She picked up the camera and the kids and walked away. She wanted to go home and forget the bad dog.
+Tim liked to play in the garden. He liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. One day, he found a lizard. It was green and brown and had a long tail. Tim thought it was cool. He picked it up and put it in his pocket.
+
+He ran to show his mom. He said, "Look, mom, I found a lizard!" But mom did not like lizards. She thought they were disgusting. She screamed and told Tim to throw it away. She said, "That is a dirty lizard. It can bite you or make you sick. Get rid of it now!"
+
+Tim did not understand. He liked the lizard. He wanted to keep it as a pet. He said, "No, mom, it is a nice lizard. It does not bite. It is my friend." He took it out of his pocket and held it in his hand. He tried to make mom see how cool it was.
+
+But mom did not listen. She was angry and scared. She grabbed a broom and hit the lizard. She hit it hard and fast. She wanted to make it go away. She did not care that Tim liked it. She did not care that it was alive.
+
+The lizard did not like being hit. It was hurt and scared. It tried to run away, but it was too late. The broom broke its tail and its head. It made it stop moving. It made it dead.
+
+Tim saw what mom did. He was sad and mad. He cried and yelled. He said, "Mom, you killed my lizard! You are mean and bad! I hate you!" He threw the lizard on the ground and ran to his room. He slammed the door and did not come out. He did not want to see mom ever again.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play together in the park. One evening, they see a big tree with many leaves. They want to climb the tree and see the sky.
+
+"Can you help me, Tom?" Anna asks. She is too small to reach the first branch.
+
+"Of course, Anna. I will support you." Tom says. He is thoughtful and kind. He puts his hands on Anna's feet and lifts her up. Anna grabs the branch and smiles.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend." Anna says. She pulls Tom up to the branch. They sit together and look at the sky. They see the moon and the stars. They are happy.
+
+The end.
+Sara was playing with her dolls in her room. She liked to pretend that they were sick and she was a doctor. She had a small bag with some bandages, a stethoscope and a thermometer. She would attach the bandages to the dolls' arms or legs, listen to their hearts and check their temperature.
+
+One day, her mom came into her room and said, "Sara, we have to go to the hospital. Your grandma is not feeling well and she needs to see a real doctor."
+
+Sara felt sad and scared. She loved her grandma very much and she did not want her to be sick. She asked her mom, "Can I bring my dolls with me? Maybe they can make grandma happy."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, you can bring your dolls. But you have to be very quiet and gentle at the hospital. There are many other people who are sick and need to rest."
+
+Sara nodded and packed her dolls and her bag in a backpack. She hugged her mom and they got in the car. When they arrived at the hospital, Sara saw a big building with many windows and doors. She held her mom's hand and followed her inside.
+
+They went to a room where her grandma was lying on a bed. She had a tube in her nose and a machine that beeped next to her. Sara felt nervous and shy. She did not know what to say or do.
+
+Her grandma saw her and smiled. She said, "Hello, Sara. I'm so happy to see you. You look very pretty today. What do you have in your backpack?"
+
+Sara opened her backpack and showed her grandma her dolls. She said, "These are my dolls. I like to play doctor with them. I attach bandages to them and make them feel better."
+
+Her grandma said, "That's very nice of you, Sara. You are a very good doctor. Can I see your dolls?"
+
+Sara took out one of her dolls and gave it to her grandma. Her grandma held it gently and said, "This is a very beautiful doll. What is her name?"
+
+Sara said, "Her name is Lily. She is my favorite doll. She has a fever and a sore throat. I gave her some medicine and a bandage."
+
+Her grandma said, "You are very smart and caring, Sara. I'm sure Lily will get well soon. Just like me. The real doctor here is very friendly and he is helping me to get better too. He said I can go home soon and play with you and your dolls."
+
+Sara felt happy and relieved. She hugged her grandma and said, "I love you, grandma. I'm glad you are getting better. You are the best grandma in the world."
+
+Her grandma said, "I love you too, Sara. You are the best granddaughter in the world."
+Tom likes to sort his toys. He has a box for cars, a box for balls, and a box for animals. He puts each toy in the right box. He is very good at sorting.
+
+One day, he sees a cat in his yard. It is not his cat. It is a wild cat. It has long fur and sharp teeth. It looks angry and scared. Tom wants to sort the cat. He thinks it is an animal toy.
+
+He goes outside with his animal box. He tries to catch the cat. The cat does not like that. It hisses and scratches Tom. It runs away. Tom cries. He has a boo-boo on his hand.
+
+Mom hears Tom cry. She comes outside. She sees the cat and the box. She understands what Tom did. She hugs Tom and says, "That is not a toy, Tom. That is a wild cat. Wild cats are not for sorting. They are for leaving alone. They can hurt you. You have to be careful."
+
+She takes Tom inside. She washes his hand and puts a band-aid on it. She gives him a cookie and a glass of milk. She tells him he can sort his toys later. Tom says he is sorry. He says he will not sort wild cats again. He says he loves Mom. Mom says she loves Tom. They smile.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to eat pie. One day, they saw a big sign that said "Cheap Pie Sale". They ran to the shop and asked for two pies.
+
+"Sorry, kids, we only have one pie left," the shopkeeper said. "It's a cherry pie, and it's very cheap. Do you want to share it?"
+
+Tim and Kim did not want to share. They both wanted the whole pie for themselves. They started to fight and pull the pie. The shopkeeper tried to stop them, but they did not listen.
+
+Suddenly, the pie flew out of their hands and landed on the floor. It broke into pieces and made a big mess. Tim and Kim cried. They had no pie to eat.
+
+The shopkeeper shook his head. "What a waste of a good pie," he said. "You should have learned to share. Sharing is caring. Now you have nothing."
+
+Tim and Kim felt sorry. They realized they had been greedy and selfish. They apologized to the shopkeeper and helped him clean the floor. They also said sorry to each other and hugged.
+
+"Maybe we can find another pie somewhere," Tim said.
+
+"Or maybe we can make our own pie at home," Kim said.
+
+They smiled and walked away, holding hands. They learned their lesson. They decided to search for pie together, and to share it with love.
+Lily liked to play with her toys in the garden. She had a big barrel that she used as a house for her dolls. She also had a magic wand that she found in a box. She liked to pretend that she could do magic with it.
+
+One day, she wanted to make her dolls have a tea party inside the barrel. She waved her wand and said, "Shrink, shrink, shrink!" She hoped that her dolls would become smaller and fit in the barrel. But something went wrong. Instead of shrinking her dolls, she shrunk herself!
+
+She was so tiny that she could fit in the barrel with her dolls. She was scared and confused. She did not know how to make herself big again. She shouted, "Help, help, help!" But no one heard her.
+
+She looked around and saw that her dolls were still the same size as before. They looked like giants to her. She had an idea. She was very creative. She climbed on a doll's hair and reached her ear. She whispered, "Please, help me. I am Lily. I shrunk myself with my wand. Can you find my wand and make me big again?"
+
+The doll heard her and nodded. She was a smart doll. She knew where Lily's wand was. She picked it up and waved it over the barrel. She said, "Grow, grow, grow!" She hoped that Lily would become bigger and normal again. And she did!
+
+Lily was so happy and relieved. She hugged her doll and thanked her. She learned a lesson. She decided to never use her wand again. She put it back in the box and hid it. She played with her dolls in the garden, but only with her imagination. She did not need magic to have fun.
+Lily was a bee who liked to sort. She sorted flowers by color, pollen by shape, and honey by taste. She worked hard every day in the hive with the other bees. But some bees did not like to sort. They were lazy and messy. They mixed up the flowers, the pollen, and the honey. They made the hive dirty and confused.
+
+One day, Lily was very sleepy. She had sorted a lot of honey for the winter. She wanted to rest in her cell. But when she got there, she saw that it was full of different things. There were petals, grains, and drops of honey. They were not sorted at all. They were thrown in by the lazy bees. Lily was angry and sad. She could not sleep in her cell. She had to sort it again.
+
+She went to the queen bee and told her what happened. The queen bee was not happy. She called the lazy bees and scolded them. She told them that sorting was important for the hive. It helped the bees to find what they needed, to work together, and to stay warm and safe. She told them that they had to help Lily sort her cell and the rest of the hive. She also told them that they had to sort their own cells and work harder.
+
+The lazy bees were ashamed and sorry. They apologized to Lily and the queen bee. They helped Lily sort her cell and the other parts of the hive. They learned how to sort flowers, pollen, and honey. They also sorted their own cells and worked harder. They saw that sorting was fun and useful. They became friends with Lily and the other bees.
+
+Lily was happy and grateful. She thanked the queen bee and the lazy bees. She finally slept in her cell. She dreamed of sorting more things in the spring. She learned that sorting was good for the hive and for herself. She also learned that sometimes people make mistakes, but they can change and be better. She learned to forgive and to share.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the yard when they saw dark clouds in the sky. They heard a loud noise like a big drum. It was thunder. They saw a bright flash like a snake in the air. It was lightning. They were scared and ran to the house.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, we are scared!" they cried as they hugged their mommy. Mommy comforted them and said, "Don't worry, my loves, it's just a storm. It will pass soon. Let's go to the living room and watch a movie."
+
+They followed mommy to the living room and sat on the couch. Mommy turned on the TV and put on a funny movie. They laughed and forgot about the storm. They felt safe and happy.
+
+But then, there was another loud noise and another bright flash. The TV turned off and the lights went out. It was dark and quiet. They were scared again.
+
+"Mommy, what happened?" they asked.
+
+Mommy said, "I think the lightning hit the power line. It's okay, we have candles and flashlights. Let me get them."
+
+Mommy got up and went to the kitchen. She opened a drawer and looked for the candles and flashlights. But she could not find them. She remembered that she had lent them to her neighbor last week and forgot to get them back.
+
+She said, "Oh no, I don't have any candles or flashlights. What are we going to do?"
+
+She went back to the living room and saw Lila and Tom crying on the couch. She tried to comfort them and said, "It's okay, my loves, we can still cuddle and tell stories. The storm will pass soon and the power will come back."
+
+But the storm did not pass soon. It got worse and worse. The wind blew hard and the rain poured down. The roof started to leak and the water dripped on the floor. The couch got wet and cold. They had no dry place to sit or sleep. They shivered and sobbed.
+
+They wished they had candles or flashlights. They wished they had a movie to watch. They wished the storm would stop. They wished they were not scared. But their wishes did not come true. They had a very bad night.
+Lily and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, but they liked the pandas best. The pandas were black and white and fluffy. They ate bamboo and played with each other.
+
+"Look, that panda is smiling!" Lily said, pointing to a panda that had a happy face.
+
+"Can we smile too?" Ben asked.
+
+"Of course, we can!" Mom said. "Let's make a big smile and wave to the panda."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and waved to the panda. The panda saw them and waved back with its paw. Lily and Ben laughed and clapped their hands.
+
+"Can we go inside and see the pandas closer?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, let's go!" Dad said. "The panda house is open today. We can learn more about the pandas and how to help them."
+
+Lily and Ben followed Mom and Dad to the panda house. They saw more pandas and learned their names and stories. They also saw how the zookeepers fed and cared for the pandas. Lily and Ben were happy and curious. They asked many questions and listened to the answers.
+
+The pandas were happy too. They liked to see the children who smiled and waved to them. They felt loved and safe. They hoped that more people would smile and help them.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were animals. Anna was a lion and Ben was a monkey. They roared and chattered and had fun.
+
+But their dad was grumpy. He was trying to work on his laptop on the couch. He did not like the noises. He said, "Anna, Ben, please be quiet. I have to finish this report. It is very important."
+
+Anna and Ben did not want to be quiet. They wanted to play. They said, "But dad, we are bored. We want to have fun. Can we go outside?"
+
+Dad said, "No, you can't. It is raining. You will get wet and cold. And you will make a mess. Just play with your toys and leave me alone."
+
+Anna and Ben were sad. They did not like to see their dad grumpy. They wanted to make him happy. They thought of a plan. They whispered to each other and smiled.
+
+They went to their room and got their raincoats and boots. They put them on and sneaked to the front door. They opened the door and ran outside. They jumped in the puddles and splashed water. They laughed and shouted, "Look, dad, we are having fun!"
+
+Dad heard them and looked out the window. He saw them playing in the rain. He shook his head and smiled. He closed his laptop and got his raincoat and boots. He joined them outside. He said, "You two are very silly. But you also excite me. You remind me of how to have fun. Come on, let's play together."
+
+Anna and Ben were happy. They hugged their dad and said, "We love you, dad. You are not grumpy anymore. You are fun."
+
+They played in the rain until they were tired. Then they went inside and dried off. They cuddled on the couch and read a book. They were a happy family.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a doll and Ben has a car. One day, they want to try something new.
+
+"Can I play with your car?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"OK, but can I play with your doll?" Ben asks Lily.
+
+They trade their toys. Lily drives the car around the room. Ben makes the doll talk and dance. They have fun.
+
+But then, Lily sees a spider on the wall. She is scared of spiders. She drops the car and runs to Ben.
+
+"Help! There is a spider!" she cries.
+
+Ben looks at the spider. He is not scared of spiders. He is brave. He picks up the doll and walks to the wall.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily. I will make the spider go away," he says.
+
+He waves the doll at the spider. The spider is scared of the doll. It runs away. Lily and Ben laugh.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are very brave," Lily says.
+
+"You are welcome, Lily. You are very kind," Ben says.
+
+They hug and trade their toys back. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with red apples on it. They wanted to pick some apples to eat, but the tree was too high for them.
+
+"Let's ask the old man who lives near the tree. He is very wise and kind. Maybe he can help us," Lily said.
+
+They ran to the old man's house and knocked on the door. The old man opened the door and smiled at them.
+
+"Hello, Lily and Ben. What can I do for you?" he asked.
+
+"Hello, sir. We want to pick some apples from the big tree, but we can't reach them. Can you help us, please?" Ben said.
+
+The old man nodded and took a ladder from his garage. He carried it to the tree and set it up. He climbed the ladder and picked some apples for them. He gave them each an apple and said, "Here you go, children. Enjoy your apples. They are sweet and juicy."
+
+"Thank you, sir. You are very nice and helpful," Lily said.
+
+"You're welcome, children. But remember, apples are not only good for your taste, but also for your health. They can help you gain strength and energy. And they can also help you gain wisdom, if you learn from them," the old man said.
+
+"Learn from them? How can we learn from apples?" Ben asked.
+
+The old man smiled and said, "Well, apples can teach you many things. They can teach you about colors, shapes, sizes, and numbers. They can teach you about seasons, growth, and change. They can teach you about sharing, caring, and gratitude. And they can teach you about life, beauty, and joy. All you have to do is look, touch, smell, taste, and listen to them. And then, think, feel, and talk about them. That's how you can learn from apples, and from anything else in the world."
+
+Lily and Ben listened to the old man with wonder and curiosity. They looked at their apples and saw them in a new way. They thanked the old man again and ran back to the park. They ate their apples and enjoyed them very much. And they also learned from them and gained wisdom.

+
+Tom was grumpy. He did not want to share. He said to Jill, "No, this is my jam. You can have red jam. Red jam is good too."

+Lily liked to play with her toy bus. She had many toys, but the bus was her favorite. She liked to make it go vroom vroom on the floor and pretend it was taking people to different places. She also liked to draw pictures of the bus and color them with her crayons.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the store. Lily wanted to bring her toy bus, but mom said no. She said the bus was too big and might get lost. Lily was sad, but she listened to mom. She left the bus on her bed and took her crayons instead. She hoped the bus would not be lonely.
+
+At the store, Lily saw many things. She saw fruits and vegetables, bread and milk, clothes and shoes. She also saw a big supply of toys. She saw dolls and cars, puzzles and books, balls and blocks. She wanted to look at them, but mom said they had to hurry. She said they had to catch the bus to go home.
+
+Lily was surprised. She did not know they were taking the bus. She had never been on a real bus before. She wondered if it was like her toy bus. She asked mom if she could sit by the window and see the outside. Mom said yes and smiled.
+
+They paid for their things and went outside. It was a hot and dry day. The sun was bright and the air was dusty. Lily felt thirsty and tired. She wished she had her toy bus to play with. She looked for the bus stop, but she did not see it. She saw a lot of cars and trucks, but no bus.
+
+Mom looked at her watch and frowned. She said the bus was late. She said they had to wait a little longer. Lily was bored and restless. She wanted to go home and see her toy bus. She wondered if it was still on her bed or if it had gone somewhere else. She hoped it was still there.

+
+Lily was shocked. She did not know she was going to school. She did not know if she was ready. She felt scared and nervous. She did not want to leave mom and her toy bus. She wanted to stay home and play. She shook her head and said no.
+
+Mom said it was okay. She said she would go with her and stay with her. She said they would only look around and meet the teacher. She said they would not stay long. She said they would come back home and see the toy bus. She said the toy bus would be proud of her. She said she loved her.
+
+Lily looked at mom and saw her kind eyes. She felt a little better. She trusted mom. She took her hand and got on the bus. She sat by the window and held her crayons. She saw the outside and felt the breeze. She heard the vroom vroom and felt the move. She smiled and said okay.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big piano in the park. It is yellow and shiny. They want to play with it.
+
+"Can you play a song?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know. I never played a piano before," Ben says.
+
+They sit on the bench and touch the keys. The piano makes loud and funny sounds. Some sounds are high and some sounds are low. They laugh and clap their hands.
+
+But then, they hear a voice. It is a man. He is angry.
+
+"Hey, stop that! That is my piano! You are making a mess!" he shouts.
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They jump off the bench and run away. They hide behind a tree.
+
+"Who is he?" Lily whispers.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe he is the owner of the piano," Ben whispers back.
+
+"Why is he so mad? We just wanted to play," Lily says.
+
+"Maybe he doesn't like our music. Maybe he likes a different music," Ben says.
+
+They think for a moment. They want to make the man happy. They want to solve the problem.
+
+"I have an idea," Ben says. "Let's go back and say sorry. And let's ask him to teach us how to play the piano. Maybe he will like that."
+
+"OK, let's try," Lily says.
+
+They hold hands and walk back to the piano. The man is still there. He looks grumpy.
+
+"Excuse me, sir," Ben says. "We are sorry for playing your piano. We didn't mean to bother you. We just like music."
+
+The man looks at them. He is surprised.
+
+"You like music?" he asks.
+
+"Yes, we do. But we don't know how to play the piano. Can you teach us, please?" Lily asks.
+
+The man smiles. He is not angry anymore. He is happy.
+
+"Sure, I can teach you. Come, sit with me. I will show you some songs. Do you like yellow?" he asks.
+
+"Yes, we do. We like yellow. And we like your piano. It is very pretty," Lily and Ben say.

+Anna and Ben are friends who like to play on the street. They have a swing that hangs from a big tree. Anna likes to swing high and fast, and Ben likes to swing slow and low. They take turns on the swing and have fun.
+
+One day, a new girl moves to the street. Her name is Cara. She sees Anna and Ben on the swing and wants to join them. But she does not ask nicely. She says, "Move, I want to swing now!" Anna and Ben are surprised and sad. They do not like how Cara talks to them.
+
+Cara pushes Anna off the swing and jumps on it. She swings very high and fast, but she is not careful. She does not hold on tight. She falls off the swing and lands on the ground. She cries and hurts her knee. Anna and Ben run to help her. They are kind and gentle. They bring her a band-aid and some water. They ask her if she is okay.
+
+Cara feels sorry for being rude. She says, "I'm sorry, I was mean to you. Can we be friends?" Anna and Ben smile and nod. They say, "Yes, we can be friends. But you have to be nice and share." Cara agrees and says, "Thank you for helping me. You are good friends." They hug and make up.
+
+They go back to the swing and take turns. They swing high and low, fast and slow. They laugh and have fun. They swing like graceful birds in the sky. They learn that being nice and sharing is better than being mean and selfish. They are happy on the street.
+Anna was feeling sick. She had a hot head and a sore throat. She did not want to play with her toys or watch her favorite show. She just wanted to lie in bed and cuddle with her teddy bear.
+
+Mom came to check on her. She had a thermometer in her hand. She put it under Anna's tongue and waited for a beep. Then she looked at the number on the thermometer. It was very high. Mom frowned and said, "You have a fever, my dear. You need some medicine and some rest."
+
+She gave Anna a spoonful of medicine that tasted yucky. She also gave her a glass of water and a wet cloth to put on her forehead. She kissed her and said, "I love you, sweetie. I will provide everything you need to feel better. Just try to sleep and I will be back soon."
+
+Anna felt a little bit better after the medicine. She thanked Mom and drank some water. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep. But she could not. She heard the rain outside and saw the gloomy sky through the window. She felt sad and lonely. She wished she could go outside and play with her friends.
+
+She opened her eyes and saw her teddy bear next to her. She hugged him and whispered, "You are my best friend, Teddy. You always make me happy. You always stay with me when I am sick. You are the best thing Mom ever gave me."
+
+She smiled and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She snuggled with Teddy and fell asleep. She dreamed of sunny days and fun games. She hoped she would get well soon.
+Tim and Anna were playing in the sandpit. They had a bucket, a spade and some shells. They wanted to make a big castle with a moat and a bridge.
+
+"Look, Anna, I observe a worm!" Tim said, pointing to a wriggly thing in the sand. "Can we put it in our castle?"
+
+"No, Tim, worms don't like castles. They like dirt and leaves. Let's leave it alone," Anna said, scooping some sand with her spade.
+
+"But I want to observe it more. It is so funny and slimy," Tim said, reaching for the worm.
+
+"Tim, no!" Anna shouted, but it was too late. Tim grabbed the worm and pulled it out of the sand. The worm did not like that. It twisted and turned and bit Tim's finger.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tim cried, dropping the worm and holding his finger. "It hurts, it hurts!"
+
+Anna ran to him and hugged him. "I'm sorry, Tim. Are you okay?" she asked, looking at his finger. It had a small red mark where the worm bit him.
+
+"It's okay, Anna. It's just a little bite. But I don't like worms anymore. They are mean and nasty," Tim said, sniffling.
+
+"Let's forget about the worm and finish our castle. We can decorate it with shells and flowers. It will be the best castle ever," Anna said, smiling.
+
+"Okay, Anna. That sounds fun. You are a good friend," Tim said, smiling back.
+
+They went back to the sandpit and worked on their castle. They forgot about the worm and the bite. They were happy and proud of their castle. They did not feel miserable anymore.
+Tom was a very independent boy. He liked to do things by himself, without help from his mom or dad. He liked to dress himself, eat his own food, and play with his own toys. He did not like to share or listen to rules.
+
+One day, Tom found a big box in the garage. He wondered what was inside. He opened the box and saw a lot of old things. He saw a hat, a scarf, a book, a ball, and a toy car. He decided to take them all and make a game.
+
+He put the hat on his head, the scarf around his neck, the book in his hand, the ball under his arm, and the toy car in his pocket. He felt very happy and proud. He ran outside to show his mom and dad his game.
+
+But when he got outside, he saw that his mom and dad were not there. He looked around and saw that they were in the car, ready to go to the store. They had called him many times, but he did not hear them. He had been too busy with his game.
+
+He felt very sad and scared. He realized that he had been too independent. He wanted his mom and dad to be with him. He wanted to share and listen to them. He ran to the car and hugged them. He said he was sorry and that he loved them. They said they loved him too and that they were glad he was safe. They took him to the store and let him choose a new toy. He chose a puzzle that he could do with his mom and dad. He learned that being independent was good, but being together was better.
+Lily and Max liked to play with puzzles. They had many puzzles with different pictures: animals, cars, flowers, and more. They would spread the pieces on the floor and try to fit them together.
+
+One day, they found a new puzzle in a box. It had a picture of a big snake on it. Lily was scared of snakes, but Max said it was harmless. He said it was just a picture, not a real snake. He opened the box and poured the pieces on the floor.
+
+"Let's do this puzzle, Lily. It will be fun," Max said.
+
+Lily did not want to do the puzzle, but she did not want to make Max sad. She sat down next to him and picked up a piece. It had the snake's eye on it. It looked mean and scary.
+
+"Max, I don't like this puzzle. The snake is not harmless. It is bad. It can bite us," Lily said.
+
+Max laughed. He said Lily was silly. He said the snake was harmless. He said it was just a picture, not a real snake. He picked up another piece. It had the snake's mouth on it. It had sharp teeth and a long tongue.
+
+"Look, Lily. This is the snake's mouth. It can't bite us. It is harmless. It is just a picture, not a real snake," Max said.
+
+He tried to fit the piece with the eye piece, but they did not match. He looked for another piece. He did not see the snake's tail on the floor. It was not a piece of the puzzle. It was a real snake. It had crawled out of the box. It was not harmless. It was hungry.
+
+The snake saw Max and Lily. It hissed and coiled. It was ready to strike. Max and Lily did not hear the hiss. They did not see the coil. They did not know the danger. They were busy with the puzzle. They did not know the snake was not harmless. They did not know it was not just a picture, but a real snake.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys and books. But they do not like to share. They always fight over who gets what.
+
+One day, Mom brings home a big newspaper. It has many pages and pictures. Lily and Ben are curious. They want to see the newspaper.
+
+Mom says, "You can look at the newspaper, but you have to share. Take turns and be nice to each other."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They take the newspaper to the living room. They spread it on the floor. They see a lot of words and colors.

+
+Lily and Ben are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were selfish. We will share next time."
+
+Mom says, "I hope so. Sharing is caring. Now, help me pick up the paper. Maybe we can still read some of it."
+
+Lily and Ben help Mom. They find some pages that are not torn. They see a page with a funny comic. They laugh. They see a page with a cute animal. They smile. They see a page with a puzzle. They think.

+
+When they reach the top, they see a big puddle. It is muddy and dirty. Ben says, "Let's go down the hill and splash in the puddle. It will be fun." Anna says, "No, I don't want to. My scooter is clean. I don't want to make it dirty." Ben says, "Come on, it's just water. It will dry." Anna says, "No, thank you. You go. I will wait here."
+
+Ben shrugs and says, "OK, bye." He raises his scooter and zooms down the hill. He splashes in the puddle. He gets wet and dirty. He laughs. He thinks it is fun.
+
+Anna watches him from the top. She shakes her head. She thinks he is silly. She keeps her scooter clean. She waits for him to come back. She is bored. She does not have fun.

+
+Lily and Ben smile. They hug their parents. They love their shells and their bucket. They had a fun day on the beach.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were kings and queens in a big palace. They used sticks and stones and leaves to make their own crowns and jewels.
+
+"Look at me, I'm the queen of the park!" Sara said, putting a leaf on her head. "And you are my king, Tom. Come, let's go to our palace!"
+
+Tom smiled and followed Sara. They ran across the grass and found a big tree. They decided that the tree was their palace. They climbed up the branches and sat on a big one.
+
+"This is our throne," Sara said. "We can see everything from here. We are so lucky!"
+
+"Yes, we are," Tom said. "But be careful, Sara. Don't fall down. The ground is very far and hard."
+
+Sara nodded. She was not afraid. She liked to climb and jump. She saw a bird on another branch and wanted to touch it. She reached out her hand and moved closer to the bird.
+
+"Hello, birdie," she said softly. "You are so pretty. Can I be your friend?"
+
+But the bird was scared of Sara. It flew away and made a loud noise. Sara was surprised and lost her balance. She slipped and fell from the branch.
+
+"Ow!" she cried. "That hurt!"
+
+Tom heard Sara and looked down. He saw her on the ground, holding her knee. She had a cut and some blood. He was very worried.
+
+"Sara, are you okay?" he shouted. "I'm coming down!"
+
+He climbed down the tree as fast as he could. He ran to Sara and hugged her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara," he said. "Are you hurt? Do you need help?"
+
+Sara was crying. She felt pain in her knee. But she was happy to see Tom. He was her best friend.
+
+"I'm hurt, Tom," she said. "But you are here. You are my king. You make me feel better."
+
+Tom smiled and kissed her cheek. He took off his stick crown and put it on her head.
+
+"You are my queen, Sara," he said. "And I will always take care of you. Come on, let's go home. Mommy will fix your knee."
+
+Sara nodded. She held Tom's hand and they walked home. They left their palace behind, but they still had each other. They were happy.

+
+She goes to her mom and asks for more glue. Her mom says she does not have any glue. She says she can go to the store and buy some glue later. Sara does not want to wait. She wants to finish her house now.
+
+She goes to her brother and asks for some glue. Her brother is playing with his cars. He says he does not have any glue. He says he does not want to share his glue. He says he needs his glue for his cars. Sara is very mad.
+
+She goes to her dad and asks for some glue. Her dad is reading a book. He says he does not have any glue. He says he can help her find some glue. He says he knows where there is some glue. Sara is very curious.
+
+He takes her to the garage and shows her a big tube of glue. He says it is a special glue for wood and metal. He says it is very strong and sticky. He says it is not for paper, but he can give her a little bit. He says she has to be careful and not use too much. Sara is very grateful.
+
+She takes the tube of glue and goes back to her paper house. She squeezes a little bit of glue on the edges and joins them together. She finishes her house and puts it on the table. She is very proud.
+

+They started to climb the hill. They used their hands and feet to find places to step. They were happy and brave.
+
+But when they reached the top, they saw something scary. It was a monster. It had big teeth, long claws and red eyes. It was hiding behind a rock. It saw Tom and Lily and growled.
+
+"Ah!" Tom and Lily screamed. "A monster!"
+
+They tried to run away, but the monster was faster. It jumped out and grabbed them. It was hungry and angry.
+
+"Help!" Tom and Lily cried. "Help us!"
+
+But no one heard them. No one saw them. The monster took them to its cave. It ate them for lunch. It was a cheap lunch. The end.
+Anna was a very intelligent girl. She liked to read books, draw pictures and play with her toys. She also liked to listen to stories that her mom told her before bed. Her mom had many stories about animals, fairies and angels.
+
+One night, Anna asked her mom, "Mom, what are angels?"
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Anna. "Angels are very good and kind. They live in the sky and help people who are sad or in trouble. They have wings and can fly very fast. They also sing beautiful songs that make people happy."
+
+Anna was curious. "Can we see angels, mom?"
+
+Mom shook her head. "No, we can't see angels with our eyes. But we can feel them in our hearts. Sometimes, when we pray or do something good, we can hear them whisper in our ears."
+
+Anna closed her eyes and tried to listen. She wondered if an angel would talk to her. She heard a soft voice say, "Hello, Anna. I am your guardian angel. I am always with you and I love you very much. You are a very intelligent and brave girl. I am proud of you."
+
+Anna opened her eyes and smiled. She felt warm and happy. She said, "Thank you, angel. I love you too. Can you tell me a story?"
+
+The angel laughed and said, "Of course, I can. What kind of story do you want to hear?"
+
+Anna thought for a moment and said, "A story about a princess and a dragon."
+
+The angel nodded and said, "Okay, let me tell you a story about a princess and a dragon. Once upon a time, there was a princess who lived in a castle. She was very beautiful and kind. But she was also very lonely. She had no friends to play with. One day, she decided to go for a walk in the forest. She saw a big cave and went inside. There, she met a dragon. The dragon was very big and scary. He had scales, horns and sharp teeth. He breathed fire and smoke. But he was also very lonely. He had no friends to play with. He saw the princess and said, 'Hello, who are you?'"
+
+Anna listened to the angel's story with wonder. She wanted to know what happened next. She asked, "Did the princess run away from the dragon?"
+
+The angel smiled and said, "No, she didn't. She was not afraid of the dragon. She said, 'Hello, I am a princess. I live in the castle. What is your name?' The dragon was surprised and happy. He said, 'I am a dragon. I live in the cave. I have no name. Can you give me a name?' The princess thought for a moment and said, 'How about Fluffy? You have a lot of fur on your back.' The dragon liked the name and said, 'Fluffy. I like it. Thank you, princess. Can you be my friend?' The princess said, 'Yes, I can. I would love to be your friend.' And so, the princess and the dragon became friends. They played together, talked together and laughed together. They were very happy."
+
+Anna clapped her hands and said, "That's a wonderful story, angel. I like it. The princess and the dragon are very nice. They are not afraid of each other. They are friends."
+
+The angel said, "I'm glad you like it, Anna. You are right. The princess and the dragon are very nice. They are not afraid of each other. They are friends. And you know what? You are also very nice. You are not afraid of me. You are my friend."
+
+Anna said, "Yes, I am. You are my friend too, angel. I like you. You are very good and kind. You tell me stories and make me happy."
+
+The angel said, "Thank you, Anna. You make me happy too. You are very intelligent and brave. You listen to me and learn from me. You are a special girl. I will always be with you and protect you. Now, it's time for you to sleep. Good night, Anna. Sweet dreams."
+
+Anna said, "Good night, angel. Sweet dreams. I love you."
+
+The angel said, "I love you too, Anna. Good night."
+
+Anna closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of the princess and the dragon. She dreamed of the angel. She was happy.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a man with a big muscle. He is selling ice cream.
+
+"Wow, look at his muscle!" Ben says. "He is so strong!"
+
+Lily nods. She wants ice cream. She runs to the man and says, "Hello, can I have ice cream, please?"
+
+The man smiles. He is humble. He says, "Sure, little girl. What flavor do you want?"
+
+Lily thinks. She likes chocolate. She says, "Chocolate, please."
+
+The man gives her a cone with chocolate ice cream. He says, "That will be one dollar, please."
+
+Lily looks in her pocket. She has no money. She feels sad. She says, "I'm sorry, I have no money."
+
+The man sees her sad face. He is kind. He says, "It's okay, you can have it for free. But next time, bring money, okay?"
+
+Lily is happy. She says, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
+
+She runs back to Ben. She shares her ice cream with him. They both say, "Yum, yum, yum!"
+
+They are happy. They like the man with the big muscle. He is humble and kind. They say, "Bye, bye, bye!" and wave to him. They go back to play in the park.
+Lila and Tom are playing in the garden. They have a big tub of water and some toys. They like to splash and make bubbles. Lila has a brown cloth that she uses to dry her hands. She puts it on the grass next to the tub.
+
+"Look, Tom, I have a boat!" Lila says, holding a plastic cup. She fills it with water and lets it float on the tub.
+
+"That's not a boat, that's a cup!" Tom says, holding a wooden spoon. He uses it to stir the water and make waves.
+
+"Yes, it is a boat! See, it can sail!" Lila says, pushing the cup with her finger.
+
+"No, it's not! It's a cup! A boat has a sail and a mast and a rudder!" Tom says, trying to grab the cup.
+
+Lila and Tom start to argue. They tug and pull at the cup. The water spills and splashes. The brown cloth gets wet and soaks up the water. It becomes heavy and soggy.
+
+"Hey, what's that?" Tom says, pointing at the cloth.
+
+"That's my cloth! It's brown!" Lila says, letting go of the cup.
+
+"It's not brown anymore, it's dark and wet!" Tom says, picking up the cloth.
+
+"It's still brown, just a different brown!" Lila says, snatching the cloth.
+
+They look at the cloth. It is dripping and dirty.
+
+"Maybe we should wash it," Tom says.
+
+"Maybe we should," Lila says.
+
+They put the cloth in the tub and rinse it with clean water. They wring it and squeeze it. They hang it on a branch to dry.
+
+"Look, it's brown again!" Lila says, smiling.
+
+"Sort of," Tom says, nodding.
+
+They hug and make up. They go back to playing with their toys. They have fun and forget about the cloth.
+Lisa and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, towers, cars and animals with the blocks.
+
+One day, Lisa and Ben decide to study the blocks. They want to learn more about them. They look at the blocks carefully. They touch them gently. They count them and sort them. They compare them and name them.
+
+"Look, Ben, this block is red and square. It has four sides and four corners. Can you find another block like this?" Lisa asks.
+
+"Yes, Lisa, I can. Here it is. It is also red and square. It is the same as your block. We have two red and square blocks." Ben answers.
+
+"Good, Ben. Now, let's try another block. How about this one? It is yellow and round. It has no sides and no corners. It is different from the red and square blocks. Do we have another block like this?" Lisa asks.
+
+"Yes, Lisa, we do. Here it is. It is also yellow and round. It is the same as your block. We have two yellow and round blocks." Ben answers.
+
+Lisa and Ben are happy. They study the blocks for a long time. They learn a lot of new things. They are careful with the blocks. They know the blocks are delicate. They do not want to break them or lose them. They love their blocks. They are proud of their study.
+Sam and Lily were playing in the park with their new toy machine. It was a big machine that could make different sounds and lights. Sam and Lily were very enthusiastic and wanted to try all the buttons and switches.
+
+"Look, this one makes a siren sound!" Sam said, pressing a red button.
+
+"And this one makes a starry light!" Lily said, turning a blue knob.
+
+They were having so much fun, they did not notice a dog coming near them. The dog was curious and sniffed the machine. It smelled like plastic and metal. The dog did not like it. It decided to bite the machine and make it stop.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Sam shouted, pulling the machine away from the dog.
+
+"Bad dog, bad dog!" Lily cried, waving her arms.
+
+The dog growled and barked, showing its teeth. It wanted to bite the machine again. Sam and Lily were scared and ran away, leaving the machine behind.
+
+A man saw what happened and came to help. He picked up the machine and checked if it was broken. He saw the dog bite marks and shook his head.
+
+"Are you okay, boy?" he asked the dog, petting its head. The dog wagged its tail and licked his hand.
+
+The man looked around and saw Sam and Lily hiding behind a bench. He walked towards them and smiled.
+
+"Hello, kids. Is this your machine?" he asked, holding the machine.
+
+Sam and Lily nodded, but did not say anything. They were still afraid of the dog.
+
+"Don't worry, the dog won't hurt you. He was just curious and confused. He thought the machine was a strange animal. He didn't mean to be naughty. He just needs to learn not to bite things that are not his." the man explained.
+
+Sam and Lily looked at the dog and saw that he was friendly and calm. They felt sorry for him and for their machine.
+
+"Can we say sorry to the dog?" Sam asked.
+
+"Can we fix our machine?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, you can. Come on, let's go." the man said, leading them to the dog.
+
+Sam and Lily approached the dog and gently touched his fur. The dog wagged his tail and licked their faces. They laughed and hugged him.
+
+"We're sorry, dog. We didn't mean to make you angry. You're a good dog." Sam said.
+
+"We're sorry, machine. We didn't mean to leave you alone. You're a fun machine." Lily said.
+
+The man helped them to fix their machine and make it work again. He also gave them some treats for the dog and some advice for themselves.
+
+"Remember, kids, always be careful with your toys and your pets. They are not the same and they need different things. Toys need to be handled gently and safely. Pets need to be loved and trained. If you do that, you will have a lot of fun and no trouble." he said.
+
+Sam and Lily thanked the man and agreed with him. They learned a valuable lesson that day. They decided to share their machine and their treats with the dog and make a new friend. They were very happy and enthusiastic.
+One day, a fox was looking for food in the forest. He saw a big bird sitting on a branch. The fox thought the bird would be a good meal. He jumped and tried to catch the bird, but the bird flew away. The fox fell down and landed in a puddle. He was very wet and cold.
+
+"Ha ha ha!" the bird laughed. "You are a silly fox. You cannot catch me. You are too slow and clumsy."
+
+The fox felt angry and sad. He wanted to go home, but he did not know the way. He saw a rabbit hopping by. The rabbit was dry and warm.
+
+"Hello, rabbit," the fox said. "Can you help me? I am lost and wet. I need a place to seat and rest."
+
+The rabbit looked at the fox. He was afraid of the fox, but he also felt sorry for him. He remembered that his mother had taught him to be kind to others.
+
+"Follow me, fox," the rabbit said. "I will show you my home. You can seat there and dry yourself. But you have to promise not to eat me or my family."
+
+The fox nodded. He was too tired and hungry to chase the rabbit. He followed the rabbit to a hole under a tree. The rabbit invited the fox inside. There were many other rabbits there. They gave the fox some carrots and grass to eat. They also gave him a soft blanket to cover himself.
+
+"Thank you, rabbit," the fox said. "You are very nice. You have a good heart."
+
+The rabbit smiled. He was happy to help the fox. He hoped the fox would learn to be friendly and not hurt other animals.
+
+The end.
+Tom liked to play with his frog. His frog was green and flexible. He could bend his frog's legs and make him jump high. Tom's frog was his best friend. He owned his frog and no one else.
+
+One day, Tom went to the park with his frog. He saw a big pond with many ducks. He wanted to show his frog the ducks. He put his frog on the grass and ran to the pond. He said, "Look, frog, ducks! They are big and white and noisy. Do you like ducks, frog?"
+
+But when he turned around, his frog was gone. Tom felt sad and scared. He looked for his frog everywhere. He asked the ducks, "Have you seen my frog? He is green and flexible and he is mine." But the ducks only quacked and swam away.
+
+Then Tom heard a loud croak. He followed the sound and saw his frog. His frog was on a big rock with another frog. The other frog was brown and fat and had a red spot on his head. He said, "Hello, I am Bob. I like your frog. He is green and flexible and he is mine now."
+
+Tom was angry and sad. He said, "No, he is not yours. He is mine. I own him and he is my best friend. Give him back to me, Bob." But Bob said, "No, he is mine. I own him and he is my friend. Go away, Tom."
+
+Tom and Bob started to fight. They pushed and pulled and shouted. They did not see the big snake that was hiding behind the rock. The snake was hungry and saw the frogs. He said, "Mmm, frogs. They are green and brown and flexible and they are mine now."
+
+The snake slithered out of the rock and opened his mouth. He was about to eat the frogs when Tom saw him. He screamed, "Snake, snake, snake! Run, frog, run!" Tom grabbed his frog and ran away. Bob was too slow and the snake ate him.
+
+Tom was sad for Bob, but he was happy for his frog. He hugged his frog and said, "I'm sorry, frog. I should not have left you alone. You are my best friend and I love you. You are green and flexible and you are mine." His frog croaked and licked his face. He said, "I love you too, Tom. You are my best friend and you own me. You are brave and kind and you are mine." They went home and played together. They never went to the pond again.

+
