But be quiet and gentle. We don't want to scare the squirrel," Ben said. + +They walked slowly to the tree. The squirrel saw them and smiled. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you like my hat?" the squirrel said. + +"Hello, Mr. Squirrel. Your hat is very pretty. Where did you get it?" Lily said. + +"Thank you, little girl. I found it in a trash can. Someone threw it away. But I think it's a nice hat. It keeps my head warm and makes me happy," the squirrel said. + +"That's very smart, Mr. Squirrel. You are not wasteful. You use what you find and make it useful and beautiful," Ben said. + +"Thank you, little boy. You are very kind. You know, some people don't appreciate what they have. They throw away things that are still good. They don't care about the earth and the animals. That's not good," the squirrel said. + +"That's true, Mr. Squirrel. We should be grateful for what we have and take care of the earth and the animals. They are our friends," Lily said. + +"Yes, they are. And you are my friends, too. Thank you for talking to me and admiring my hat. You made me feel happy. Do you want to play with me?" the squirrel said. + +"Yes, please, Mr. Squirrel. We would love to play with you. You are very fun and nice," Ben said. + +"OK, then. Let's play. Follow me. I know a good place to find nuts and berries.

Sam said. + +His dad hugged him. He was glad that nothing bad happened. He forgave him. But he also taught him a lesson. + +"Sam, I love you. You are a very intelligent boy. But you also need to be careful and respectful. You need to listen to your parents and follow the rules. You need to think before you act. Curiosity is good, but it can also be dangerous. Do you understand?" his dad said. + +"Yes, dad. I understand. I will be careful and respectful. I will listen to you and follow the rules. I will think before I act. I learned my lesson. Thank you, dad." Sam said. + +They hugged again. They left the office. They went home. Sam never pressed the button again. He was still curious, but he was also smarter.

Your room is too messy and you can't find your things. You have to be organized and tidy." Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom, I will try." + +But Lily did not try very hard. She played with her toys and left them on the floor, on the bed, on the table and everywhere. She did not return them to their place. She thought she would do it later. But later never came. + +The next day, Lily wanted to play with her favorite doll, Anna. She looked for Anna in her room, but she could not find her.

They had many stories to choose from, but they always wanted to hear the same one: the story of the old lion and the mouse. + +The old lion was very strong and proud, but he had a problem. He would forget things easily. One day, he forgot where he hid his food, and he was very hungry. He saw a mouse running by, and he tried to catch it. But the mouse was too fast and smart, and it escaped into a hole. + +"Please, don't eat me, Mr. Lion," the mouse said. "I am too small to fill your belly. If you let me go, I will help you someday." + +The lion laughed. "How can you help me, little mouse? You are too weak and tiny. But I am not hungry enough to eat you. Go away, and don't bother me again." + +The mouse thanked the lion and ran away. The lion forgot about the mouse and went to look for his food. + +Some time later, the lion was walking in the forest, when he heard a loud roar. He saw a big net on the ground, and he was curious.

He roared again, hoping someone would hear him. + +The mouse heard the lion's roar, and he remembered his promise. He ran to the net, and saw the lion inside. He felt sorry for the lion, and he decided to help him. He used his sharp teeth to cut the net, and he freed the lion. + +The lion was surprised and grateful. He thanked the mouse, and said, "You are very brave and kind, little mouse. You have helped me, even though I was mean to you. I was wrong to laugh at you. You are not too weak and tiny. You are a good friend." + +The mouse smiled, and said, "You are welcome, Mr. Lion. You are not too proud and forgetful. You are a good friend, too." + +Tom and Lily loved the story of the old lion and the mouse. They learned that you should not judge someone by their size, and that you should keep your promises. They also learned that sometimes, the ones who can help you the most are the ones you least expect. They hugged their mom, and said good night. They fell asleep, dreaming of the old lion and the mouse. +Lily likes to print pictures with her crayons. She prints flowers, stars, and animals. She prints on paper, on cardboard, and sometimes on the wall. Mommy and Daddy do not like when she prints on the wall.

They saw a tall tree with many green leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +"Can we climb the tree, please?" Tom asked his mom. + +"Be careful, okay? The tree has some spikes on the bark. They can hurt you if you touch them," his mom said. + +Tom and Lily nodded and ran to the tree. They found a low branch and started to climb. They felt the wind and the sun on their faces. They were happy. + +But then, Tom slipped and grabbed a spike. He cried out in pain and let go of the branch.

She said, "Hello, children. What are you doing here?" + +Lily and Sam were scared. They did not like strangers. They did not like elderly. They thought she was a witch or a monster. They screamed and ran out of the base. They left their toys and their sign behind. + +The elderly lady was sad. She did not mean to scare them. She just wanted to talk and play. She picked up the sign and read it. She felt hurt and angry. She tore up the sign and threw it away. She took the toys and put them in her bag.

Lila and Sam wanted to see the house up close. They ran to the fence and climbed on a bench. + +"Wow, look at the house!" Lila said. "It is so pretty and original. I wish we could live there." + +"Me too," Sam said. "But we have to be quiet. The crane might not like us here." + +They whispered to each other and watched the crane work.

They saw it make a sign that said "Crane's Home". + +The crane looked very happy with its house. It smiled and waved to Lila and Sam. They smiled and waved back. They were happy for the crane.

There are so many things to do." + +Their mom looked at them. She smiled. She had an idea. + +"Why don't you try to play together?" she said. "Maybe you can learn something from each other.

She realizes she was rude and jealous. She says, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. You are right. They are good dancers. They are pretty. I want to be kind and respectful. Can I say sorry to them?" + +Her mom and dad smile. They say, "Yes, you can. Maybe you can also make some new friends. And maybe one day, you can dance on the stage too, if you work hard and practice a lot. But remember, dancing is not about being better than others. It is about having fun and expressing yourself." + +Lily nods. She goes to the backstage with her mom and dad. She meets some of the dancers. She says sorry to them and compliments them.

They would bounce it high and catch it, or roll it to each other, or kick it far away. They had fun with their ball, but sometimes they got restless. They wanted to try something new and exciting. + +One day, they found a shiny metal thing in the garage. It looked like a big rocket, but it had a button on it. Lily and Ben wondered what it was. They decided to take it outside and play with it. Maybe it was a toy, like their ball. + +They put the metal thing on the grass and pressed the button. Nothing happened. They pressed it again and again, but still nothing. They were disappointed. They thought the metal thing was broken. They decided to go back to their ball. + +But as they turned around, they heard a loud noise. The metal thing was not broken. It was a missile.

She thought Lily and Sam were selfish. They only cared about what they wanted. They did not care about each other. + +She took the car from them. She put it on a high shelf. She said, "No one can play with the car now. You need to learn to share and be kind. If you can do that, maybe you can have the car back later." + +Lily and Sam looked at the car.

He smiled again, and slowly reached out his finger to try and read the stamp. + +The snail smiled too, and told Jack the stamp was a special greeting from all the snails in the garden. He saw that the stamp said "Hello from the snails!" Jack said hello back and thanked the snail for the special greeting. + +The snail was happy, and slowly made its way back into the garden.

They said he had to leave the fountain and that the other children could go back to playing. + +The three year old boy was sad and embarrassed. He had thought he was in charge, but in the end, no one listened to him. + +This story teaches us an important lesson: some things are just too big for a small person to control.

The family was the smallest family in the village and included two children and one mom. + +The two children were so different.
