She took out Anna and said, "Don't worry, Anna. You are still my favorite doll. I love you very much." + +She decided to make Anna look even prettier. She found some scissors and some paper. She cut the paper into strips. She said, "I will make you a necklace and a hat, Anna. Just like the doll in the store." + +She glued the strips together and put them on Anna. She said, "There, now you look like the doll in the store. You are so pretty, Anna." + +But Anna did not look pretty. She looked funny. The paper strips were too big and too colorful. They covered Anna's hair and dress. They also fell off easily. + +Lily did not notice. She was happy. She said, "I don't need the doll in the store. I have you, Anna. You are the best doll ever." + +She hugged Anna and smiled. She did not see her mom standing at the door. Her mom saw Anna and gasped. She said, "Oh, Lily. What have you done to your doll?" +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big backyard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. One day, they saw a big hole in the fence. They wondered what was on the other side. + +"Let's go and see," said Tim. He was older and braver than Sam. + +"I don't know," said Sam. He was younger and scared of new things. "Mom said we should stay in the backyard." + +"Don't be a baby," said Tim. He crawled through the hole and waved at Sam. "Come on, it's fun!" + +Sam did not want to be a baby. He followed Tim through the hole. They wandered into a new place. They saw a road, a car, a dog and a tree. They also saw a big pile of rocks. + +"Wow, look at those rocks!" said Tim. He ran to the pile and started to climb. "They are so heavy and cool!" + +Sam did not like the rocks. He thought they were dirty and dangerous. He stayed on the ground and watched Tim. He wished they were back in the backyard. + +"Tim, be careful!" he said. "The rocks might fall!" + +But Tim did not listen. He wanted to reach the top of the pile. He grabbed a big rock and pulled. The rock was too heavy. It slipped from his hand and hit his head. Tim fell down and did not move. + +"Tim! Tim!" Sam cried. He ran to his brother and shook him. But Tim did not wake up. He was hurt and bleeding. Sam was alone and scared. He did not know what to do. + +He wished they had never wandered through the hole. He wished they had stayed in the backyard. He wished Tim was okay. +Anna was very happy. She got an invitation to Ben's birthday party. She liked Ben. He was her friend. He had a big dog and a nice house. She wanted to go to his party and play with him. + +She asked her mom to help her get ready. Her mom gave her a pretty dress and a gift for Ben. She also gave her a warning. "Anna, be careful with Ben's dog. He can bite. He does not like strangers. Do not touch him or go near him, okay?" + +Anna nodded. She understood. She did not want to get bitten. She liked dogs, but not mean ones. She hugged her mom and got in the car. She was excited to see Ben. + +When they arrived at Ben's house, Anna saw the dog. He was big and black and had a loud bark. He was in the yard, behind a fence. Anna stayed away from him. She went to the door and rang the bell. + +Ben opened the door. He smiled when he saw Anna. He took her gift and invited her in. "Hi, Anna! I'm so glad you came. Come on, let's go to the living room. We have cake and games and balloons." + +Anna followed him. She saw other kids in the living room. They were having fun. Anna joined them. She ate cake and played games and blew balloons. She had a great time. + +But then, something bad happened. The dog escaped from the yard. He ran into the house. He saw Anna. He did not like her. He growled and ran towards her. He wanted to bite her. + +Anna was scared. She screamed. She tried to run away. But the dog was faster. He jumped on her and bit her dress. He tore it. He made it filthy. + +Anna cried. She felt pain and fear. She wanted her mom. She wanted to go home. + +Ben heard her cry. He saw the dog. He was angry and sorry. He grabbed the dog and pulled him away. He shouted at him. "Bad dog! Bad dog! Go away! Leave Anna alone!" + +He hugged Anna. He apologized to her. "I'm so sorry, Anna. I don't know how he got out. He's usually not like this. He's a good dog. But he's afraid of new people. Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" + +Anna shook her head. She was not hurt. But she was sad. Her dress was ruined. Her party was ruined. She did not want to stay. She wanted to go home. + +Ben understood. He felt bad. He wanted to make her feel better. He gave her a new dress. He gave her a new gift. He gave her a big hug. He said, "Please don't be mad at me, Anna. You're still my friend. I'm still your friend. I'm sorry for what happened. Can you forgive me?" + +Anna looked at him. She saw his eyes. They were sorry and kind. She felt sorry and kind too. She nodded. She forgave him. She said, "It's okay, Ben. You're still my friend. I'm still your friend.

They finished the party. They had fun. + +The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with many flowers. They wanted to go up the hill and see what was on the other side. + +They held hands and started to climb. The hill was steep and hard. They had to use their legs and arms to push and pull. They felt tired and hot, but they did not give up. They wanted to reach the end of the hill. + +They finally got to the top. They looked around and gasped. They saw a beautiful sight. They saw a lake with blue water and green trees. They saw a rainbow with many colors. They saw birds and butterflies and fish. They felt happy and amazed. They had found a powerful sight. + +They sat down and smiled. They ate some snacks and drank some water. They watched the sight and talked. They felt proud and glad. They had done a hard thing.

He has a big bag of letters and a blue truck. + +One day, Tom and his dad go to a big house with a gate. The gate is locked. There is a sign that says "Beware of dog". Tom and his dad hear a loud bark. + +"Whoa, that sounds like a big dog," Tom's dad says. "How can we deliver the mail?" + +Tom has an idea. He sees a hole in the gate. He says, "Dad, look! I can fit through the hole. I can deliver the mail for you." + +"Are you sure, Tom?" his dad asks. "The dog might be scary." + +"I'm not afraid, dad. I'm helpful," Tom says. He crawls through the hole and runs to the door. He puts the mail in the mailbox. + +The dog sees Tom and runs to him. But the dog is not scary. He is friendly. He licks Tom's face and wags his tail. + +"Good boy, good boy," Tom says. He pets the dog and gives him a treat from his pocket. + +Tom's dad sees Tom and the dog. He smiles and says, "You did a great job, Tom. You are very helpful and brave. And you made a new friend." + +Tom and the dog run back to the gate. Tom crawls through the hole and hugs his dad. + +"Thank you, dad. I love delivering mail with you," Tom says. + +"I love you too, Tom. You are my best helper," his dad says. + +They get in the truck and drive away. The dog barks goodbye. Tom waves to him. He is happy. +Tom is a boy who likes to learn new things. He has a tutor who comes to his house every week. Her name is Anna. She teaches Tom how to read, write and count. Tom thinks Anna is great. She is kind and fun. + +One day, Anna brings a big book with many pictures. She says, "Tom, today we are going to learn about animals. Do you like animals?" Tom nods and smiles. He loves animals. He has a dog named Spot and a fish named Bubbles. + +Anna opens the book and shows Tom a picture of a lion. She says, "This is a lion. It is a big cat that lives in Africa. It has a mane and a tail.

It is a horse that has black and white stripes. It also lives in Africa. It runs fast and eats grass. Can you say zebra?" Tom says, "Zebra." He thinks the stripes are pretty. + +Anna and Tom look at many more pictures of animals. They see elephants, giraffes, monkeys, penguins and more. Tom learns their names and what they do. He is very happy and curious. + +After a while, Anna says, "Tom, we have to part now. It is time for me to go. But I will come back next week and we will learn more things. OK?" Tom feels sad. He likes Anna and he wants to learn more. He says, "OK. Bye, Anna. Thank you for teaching me. You are a great tutor." Anna smiles and hugs Tom. She says, "Bye, Tom. You are a great student. I will see you soon." She picks up her book and leaves. Tom waves and runs to his mom. He tells her all about the animals he learned. He can't wait for Anna to come back. +Anna and Ben are going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They are going to see the mountains. Anna and Ben like the mountains. They are big and green and have snow on top. + +"Anna, Ben, it is time to pack your bags," Mom says. "We are leaving soon." + +Anna and Ben run to their room. They pack their bags with clothes and toys and books. They do not want to forget anything. + +"Can I bring my teddy bear?" Anna asks. + +"Of course you can," Mom says. "Teddy bear likes the mountains too." + +"Can I bring my ball?" Ben asks. + +"Sure you can," Dad says. "But you have to share it with Anna." + +"OK, I will share," Ben says. + +Anna and Ben finish packing their bags. They zip them up and put them by the door.

They see the mountains getting closer and closer. They are nice and beautiful. Anna and Ben smile. They are going to have fun. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were animals. Lila was a bird and Ben was a cat. They chased each other around the flowers and the trees. + +"Tweet, tweet, I am a bird, you can't catch me!" Lila said. + +"Meow, meow, I am a cat, I will catch you!" Ben said. + +They ran and ran until they saw a big fence. The fence had a hole in it. Lila was curious. She wanted to see what was on the other side. She flew through the hole. + +"Wait, Lila, don't go!" Ben said. "It is not safe there. Stay with me!" + +But Lila did not listen. She wanted to explore. She saw a lot of new things. She saw cars and houses and people. She saw a big dog. The dog saw her too. The dog barked and ran after her. + +Lila was scared. She tried to fly away, but the dog was fast. She looked for the hole in the fence, but she could not find it. She was lost. She wished she had stayed with Ben. + +Ben was worried. He did not see Lila come back. He did not hear her voice. He looked for the hole in the fence, but he could not find it. He was sad. He missed Lila. + +He heard a loud noise. He saw a big truck. The truck had a cage on it. The cage had a sign. The sign said "Animal Escape". Ben saw Lila in the cage. She was crying. + +"Lila, Lila, I am here!" Ben said. + +"Ben, Ben, help me!" Lila said. + +Ben was brave. He ran to the truck. He climbed on the cage. He saw a lock. He used his teeth to break the lock. He opened the cage. He freed Lila. + +"Lila, you are safe!" Ben said. + +"Ben, you are my hero!" Lila said. + +They hugged each other. They were happy. They ran back to the garden. They learned a lesson. They never went through the hole in the fence again. They stayed together. They were friends. +Lily and Max are playing in the garden. They see a big envelope on the grass. It is white and dry. They run to it and pick it up. + +"Look, Lily, a letter!" Max says. + +"Who is it for?" Lily asks. + +They turn the envelope over and see a name. It is for their grandma. She lives far away. + +"Let's open it!" Max says. + +"No, Max, we can't. It is not ours. It is for grandma. She will be sad if we open it." Lily says. + +"But I want to see what is inside. Maybe it is a picture or a sticker or a toy." Max says. + +He tries to pull the envelope from Lily's hands. Lily holds it tight. They start to tug and pull. + +"Stop, Max, stop!" Lily says. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is thunder. They look up and see dark clouds. It is going to rain. + +"Oh no, the letter will get wet!" Lily says. + +She runs to the house with the envelope. Max follows her. They reach the porch and sit down. Lily covers the envelope with her jacket. She wants to keep it dry. + +"Sorry, Lily. I was bad. I should not try to open the letter." Max says. + +"It's okay, Max. I forgive you. We can wait for grandma to come and visit. Then we can give her the letter and see her smile." Lily says. + +They hug and smile. They watch the rain and wait for the sun. They are happy. +Lily liked to measure things with her ruler. She measured her toys, her books, her bed, and her cat. She wanted to know how big everything was. She liked to write the numbers on a paper. + +One day, she saw a big television in the living room. It was shiny and black and had many buttons. Lily wondered how big it was. She took her ruler and went to the television. She tried to measure it, but it was too high. She got a chair and climbed on it. She was careful not to fall. + +She measured the television from one side to the other. It was very long. She measured it from the top to the bottom. It was very tall. She measured it from the front to the back. It was very thin. She wrote the numbers on her paper. She was proud of herself. + +But she did not see that the television was delicate. It was not strong like her toys. It was easy to break. When she moved her ruler, she touched the screen. It made a loud noise and a crack. The television was broken. Lily was scared. + +She heard her mom coming. She did not know what to do. She hid under the chair. She hoped her mom would not be angry. She was sorry for breaking the television. She learned that some things are delicate and need to be careful. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to spin on the round thing. It was fun and made them dizzy. They laughed and held hands. + +But then they saw a big tiger. It was not a real tiger, but a toy tiger. Someone left it on the grass. Lily and Ben wanted to play with it. They ran to the tiger and picked it up. + +"Let's spin with the tiger!" Lily said. She held the tiger in one hand and Ben's hand in the other. They spun faster and faster. + +But the tiger was too heavy. Lily could not hold it. The tiger flew out of her hand and hit a boy. The boy cried. He had a bump on his head. + +Lily and Ben stopped spinning. They felt sorry. They ran to the boy and said, "We are sorry. We did not mean to hurt you. Are you okay?" + +The boy looked at them. He saw the tiger. He liked tigers. He said, "It's okay. I like tigers. Can I play with you?" + +Lily and Ben smiled. They said, "Yes, you can. We can share the tiger. What is your name?" + +The boy said, "My name is Sam. What are your names?" + +They told him their names. They became friends. They played with the tiger and the round thing. They had fun and said sorry. +Tim and Jen are playing in the park. They have a toy gun and a toy lion. They pretend they are hunters and the lion is their prey. + +"Look, there is the lion!" Tim says, pointing at the toy. "Let's shoot it and take it home!" + +"OK, but be careful, it might bite!" Jen says, following Tim. + +They sneak up to the lion and Tim aims his gun. He pulls the trigger and makes a loud noise. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" + +The lion does not move. It is just a toy. But then, something weird happens. The lion opens its eyes and roars. It is not a toy. It is a real lion! + +Tim and Jen are scared. They drop their gun and run away. They scream for help. + +"Help! Help! A lion is chasing us!" + +A man hears them and sees the lion. He is a zookeeper. He has a big net and a tranquilizer gun. He runs to the lion and shoots it with the tranquilizer. The lion falls asleep. + +"Are you OK, kids?" the zookeeper asks Tim and Jen. "How did you get this lion?" + +"We don't know, mister," Tim says. "We thought it was a toy." + +"Well, it's not. It's a real lion that escaped from the zoo. You are very lucky it was not hungry. You should never play with wild animals. They are dangerous." + +"Sorry, mister," Jen says. "We won't do it again." + +The zookeeper takes the lion back to the zoo. Tim and Jen go back to their mom. They hug her and tell her what happened. She is glad they are safe. She tells them to be more careful next time. They agree. They learned their lesson. They will never play with lions again. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But then Ben fell down and hurt his arm. He cried and cried. Lily ran to him and gave him a hug. + +"It's okay, Ben. I'm here. Do you want a kiss?" Lily asked. + +Ben nodded. Lily kissed his arm gently. "Does it feel better?" she asked. + +"A little. But it still hurts a lot. I think it's broken," Ben said. + +Lily looked at his arm. It was very big and red. She was scared. She called for help. A lady came and took them to a car. The car had a loud sound and a bright light. It took them to a place with many people in white. + +The people in white took Ben to a room. They put his arm on a table. They said they needed to see inside his arm. They used a big machine that made a funny noise. It was an x-ray. + +Lily waited outside with the lady. She was worried about Ben. She hoped he would be okay. She wanted to see him again. + +After a while, Ben came out. He had a white thing on his arm. It was a cast. He smiled at Lily. + +"Hi, Lily. I'm okay. They fixed my arm. They said I have to wear this for a while. Do you want to see my x-ray?" Ben said. + +Lily nodded. She was happy to see Ben. She went with him to a wall. There was a picture of his arm. It had white and black parts. It looked strange. + +"This is my x-ray. It shows my bones. See, this part is broken. That's why it hurt so much. But they put a metal thing to hold it together. It will heal soon," Ben explained. + +Lily looked at the x-ray. She was amazed. She touched Ben's cast. It was hard and smooth. + +"Wow, Ben. That's very cool. Does it hurt now?" Lily asked. + +"Not much. It's a little itchy. And smelly. I can't wash it. But I can draw on it. Do you want to draw on it?" Ben asked. + +Lily smiled. She liked to draw. She took a marker and drew a heart on Ben's cast. She wrote her name and his name inside the heart. + +"There. Now it's pretty. And it shows that I'm your friend. And that I love you," Lily said. + +Ben blushed. He looked at Lily. He liked her very much. He leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek. + +"Thank you, Lily. You're my friend. And I love you too," Ben said. + +They hugged and smiled. They were happy. They went to play some more. They were careful with Ben's arm. They had fun. They were the best friends ever. +Ben and Mia like to play with colors. They have many crayons and paints. They like to draw and paint on paper and on the wall. Sometimes they make a mess, but they have fun. + +One day, they find a big eraser in the drawer. It is white and soft. They wonder what it can do. They try to erase some of their drawings, but it does not work. They think it is a boring eraser. + +Then, Ben has an idea. He says, "Let's mix the eraser with some colors. Maybe it will become interesting." Mia agrees. They break the eraser into small pieces and put them in a bowl. They add some water and some paints. They stir and stir with a spoon. They make a colorful paste. + +They use their fingers to spread the paste on the paper and on the wall. They make new shapes and patterns. They laugh and giggle. They think it is fun. They say, "Look, we made a new color. It is eraser color. It is interesting." + +But then, they hear their mom coming. She sees the mess they made. She is not happy. She says, "What did you do? You ruined the eraser and the wall. You have to clean up now." Ben and Mia are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to make something interesting. We mixed the eraser with some colors." Mom sighs. She says, "I know you like to play with colors, but you have to be careful. The eraser is not for mixing. It is for erasing. And the wall is not for painting. It is for looking. Come on, let's get some wipes and clean up." Ben and Mia nod. They help their mom to clean up. They learn their lesson. They say, "Next time, we will only use paper and crayons. And we will not mix the eraser with anything." Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. I love you, my colorful kids." She hugs them. They hug her back. They are happy. +Ben and Mia were friends who liked to play outside. They lived in a small town with many yellow houses and flowers. One day, they decided to explore the woods behind their town. They took a basket with some bread and water and walked along a path. + +"Look, Ben, a bird!" Mia said, pointing to a blue and red bird on a branch. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is," Ben said. "Do you think it will let us touch it?" + +They walked closer to the bird, but it flew away. They followed it deeper into the woods, until they lost sight of the path. + +"Where are we, Ben?" Mia asked, feeling scared. "I don't see the town anymore." + +"I don't know, Mia," Ben said, looking around. "Maybe we should go back." + +They tried to find the way back, but they only got more lost. They walked and walked, but they did not see any houses or people. They only saw trees and rocks and animals. They started to feel hungry and thirsty and tired. + +"Ben, I want to go home," Mia said, crying. "I miss Mom and Dad." + +"Me too, Mia," Ben said, hugging her. "But I don't know how to get home. Maybe we should settle here for the night and look for help tomorrow." + +They found a big rock and made a bed of leaves under it. They ate some bread and drank some water and tried to sleep. But they were too cold and scared and sad. They wished they had never left their town. + +In the middle of the night, they heard a loud roar. They opened their eyes and saw a big, black bear standing over them. It had sharp teeth and claws and it looked angry. It growled and swiped at them with its paw. + +"Help!" Ben and Mia screamed, but no one heard them. The bear attacked them and hurt them very badly. They did not survive. They never saw their town or their parents or their friends again. The end. +Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair and a pink dress. Sara would brush her hair and make her talk. She had a lot of fun with Lily. + +One day, Sara's cousin Tom came to visit. Tom was older than Sara and he liked to play with cars and trucks. He did not like dolls. He saw Sara playing with Lily and he laughed. He said dolls were silly and boring. He grabbed Lily from Sara and threw her on the floor. Sara was very sad and angry. She said Tom was rude and mean. She wanted her doll back. + +Sara's mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily on the floor and Sara crying. She asked what happened. Sara told her that Tom took her doll and threw her. Tom said he was just playing and that dolls were stupid. Sara's mom said that was not true and that dolls were nice. She said Tom had to say sorry to Sara and give her doll back. She said he could not play with Sara's toys if he did not permit her to play with his. She said he had to be kind and share. + +Tom did not want to say sorry or share. He said he did not care. He said he wanted to play with his cars and trucks. He said Sara could not touch them. Sara's mom said that was not fair and that he had to learn to be nice. She said he could not play with his cars and trucks either. She said he had to sit in the corner and think about what he did. She said he had to remember how he felt when someone was rude to him. + +Sara hugged her mom and thanked her. She picked up Lily and hugged her too. She said she was sorry that Tom hurt her. She said she loved her and that she was her best friend. She said she would never be rude to her. She said she would always permit her to play with her toys. She said she had a good memory of all the fun they had. She smiled and went back to playing with her dolls. +Tom and Lily were playing with clay. They had many colors of clay: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. They liked to make shapes and animals with the clay. + +"Look, I made a flower!" Lily said, showing Tom her yellow and pink clay flower. + +"That's pretty!" Tom said. "I made a car!" He showed Lily his blue and red clay car. + +They smiled at each other. Then they had an idea. + +"Let's mix the colors!" Tom said. + +"OK!" Lily said. + +They took some clay of different colors and squished them together. They made new colors: purple, orange, brown, and more. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Lily said. + +They mixed and mixed until they had a big ball of clay with many colors. + +"What can we do with this?" Tom asked. + +Lily looked around and saw a stamp. It had a star shape on it. + +"I know!" she said. "Let's make stars!" + +She took the stamp and pressed it on the clay. She made a star with many colors. + +"Look, a rainbow star!" she said. + +Tom liked it. He took the stamp and made another star. + +They made many stars with the clay and the stamp. They put them on a paper. + +They were very happy with their stars. + +"Can we show Mom and Dad?" Tom asked. + +"Of course!" Lily said. "They will like our stars." + +They ran to find Mom and Dad. They showed them their paper with the stars. + +Mom and Dad smiled. + +"Wow, these are beautiful!" Mom said. + +"How did you make them?" Dad asked. + +Tom and Lily told them how they mixed the colors and used the stamp. + +They were honest. They did not lie. + +Mom and Dad hugged them. + +"We are proud of you!"

But their mom said they had to finish their vegetables first, or they would not get any dessert. + +One day, Ben had a plan. He said to Lily, "Let's remove our vegetables from our plates and hide them under the table. Then mom will think we ate them and give us dessert." Lily thought it was a good idea, so they did what Ben said. + +Mom came back to the kitchen and saw their empty plates. She smiled and said, "Good job, Ben and Lily! You ate all your vegetables. Now you can have some dessert. I made chocolate cake for you." She cut two slices of cake and put them on their plates. + +Ben and Lily were very happy. They picked up their forks and took big bites of the cake. But as soon as they did, they felt something hard and bitter in their mouths. They spit out the cake and saw pieces of broccoli and carrots on their plates. They had removed their vegetables from their plates, but they had not removed them from the cake. Mom had seen them hiding their vegetables under the table and had put them in the cake as a lesson. + +Ben and Lily cried and said, "Mom, this is not fair! This is not dessert! This is hurt!" Mom said, "I'm sorry, Ben and Lily, but you lied to me and did not eat your vegetables. That is not good. Now you have no dessert and you have to go to bed early. Maybe next time you will listen to me and eat your vegetables." She took away their plates and sent them to their room. + +Ben and Lily felt very sad and sorry. They wished they had not removed their vegetables from their plates. They wished they had eaten them and had real dessert. They learned their lesson the hard way. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a saw in the garage. It was shiny and sharp. They wanted to try it on some wood. + +"Let me have it first," Tom said. He grabbed the saw from Sam. + +"No, it's my turn," Sam said. He pulled the saw back. + +They fought over the saw and made a lot of noise. The saw slipped and cut Tom's hand. He cried out in pain and dropped the saw. + +Sam felt sorry for Tom. He ran to get a bandage and some water. He helped Tom wrap his hand and clean the wound. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Sam said. "I should not have fought with you. Can you forgive me?" + +Tom looked at Sam. He saw that Sam was sorry and kind. He smiled and said, "I forgive you, Sam. I'm sorry, too. We should not have played with the saw. It is dangerous." + +They hugged and said they were still friends.

Today, they are at the airport with Mom and Dad. They are going to fly to Grandma's house. + +"Let's play I spy," says Tim. "I spy something big and blue." + +"Is it the sky?" asks Sam. + +"No, it is not the sky," says Tim. + +"Is it the sign?" asks Sam. + +"Yes, it is the sign. You win!" says Tim. + +Sam is happy. He likes to win. He looks for something to spy. He sees a man with a red hat and a big bag. He thinks the man looks guilty. + +"I spy something red and guilty," says Sam. + +"What do you mean, guilty?" asks Tim. + +"Guilty means bad.

She hugged Anna and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I love you. You are still beautiful to me." + +Lila's mother heard her crying and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lila and Anna and understood what happened. She was angry with Tom and scolded him. She said, "Tom, you were very mean and rude. You hurt Lila and Anna. You should say sorry and help fix Anna." + +Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lila. I was stupid and mean. I didn't mean to break Anna. Can I help fix her?"

Their parents were also angry and punished them by making them stay in their room. They were very sad and sorry. + +Tim and Kim felt sorry for Tom and Sam, but they also learned a lesson. They learned that gold is not the most important thing. They learned that being good and smart is better than being bad and stupid.

They told her not to play with the cord again. They said it was dangerous and not a toy. + +Lila was sorry and sad. She learned that spinning was fun, but not with the cord. She learned that some things were not for spinning, and that she should be careful and listen to her mom and dad. She hugged them and said she was sorry. They hugged her back and said they loved her.

I did not hold the string well." + +Anna hugs Ben. She says, "It's okay, Ben. It was not your fault. The wind was too strong. We can get another kite. I still have my ball and my teddy bear.

"Why are you fighting?" + +"Lily won't give me her doll!" Ben said. + +"Ben won't let me keep my doll!" Lily said. + +Mom sighed. She said, "You both need to learn to share and be kind. The doll and the car are not yours. They are toys that I bought for you to play with. You can take turns or play together, but you can't fight over them. Fighting does not make you happy.

He was not very careful and sometimes he hurt himself. Anna wanted to help him feel better. + +"Hello, Ben. I am Doctor Anna. How are you today?" she asked. + +"I am fine, Doctor Anna. I just have a little scratch on my knee," he said. + +"Let me see. Hmm, that looks serious. You need an x-ray," she said. + +She took him to her toy x-ray machine and put his leg inside. She pressed a button and made a beeping sound. + +"Look, Ben. This is your x-ray. It shows your bones. Do you see this dark spot here? That means you have a broken bone. You need a cast," she said. + +She showed him a picture of a bone with a crack and a circle around it. + +"Really? But it doesn't hurt that much. Are you sure, Doctor Anna?" he asked. + +"Yes, I am sure. Trust me, I am a good doctor. Come, I have a bandage and some stickers. I will make you a nice cast," she said. + +She wrapped his leg with a white bandage and put some stickers on it. She gave him a lollipop and a hug. + +"There, you are all done. You have to be careful and not run or jump for a while. You have to rest and let your bone heal," she said. + +"Thank you, Doctor Anna. You are very kind. But can I still play with you?" he asked. + +"Of course, you can. We can play other games. We can read books, or draw, or sing. We can have fun together," she said. + +They smiled and hugged. They were happy to be friends. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big boot in the grass. It was brown and dirty and had a hole in it. Sara wanted to look inside the boot, but Ben was scared. + +"Maybe there is a spider in the boot," Ben said. "Or a snake. Or a monster." + +"Don't be silly," Sara said. "It's just a boot. Let's see what's in it." + +She picked up the boot and turned it over. Something fell out of the boot and landed on the ground. It was a small, furry animal with big ears and a long tail. It looked at Sara and Ben with sleepy eyes. + +"It's a bunny!" Sara said. "It's so cute. Can we keep it?" + +Ben was not scared anymore. He liked the bunny too. He touched its soft fur and gave it a carrot. The bunny ate the carrot and made a happy sound. + +"Maybe the boot was its home," Ben said. "Maybe it was sleeping in the boot." + +Sara and Ben decided to make a new home for the bunny. They found a box and put some grass and leaves in it. They put the bunny in the box and gave it some water. They named the bunny Booty. + +"Booty, you are our new friend," Sara said. "We will take care of you." + +Booty snuggled in the box and closed its eyes. Sara and Ben smiled and hugged each other. They were happy they found the boot and the bunny. They did not know that the boot belonged to a farmer who was looking for his missing boot and his missing bunny. He was not happy at all. He was angry. He was coming to get them. +Sara has a sister named Lily. Lily is cool. She can make funny faces and sing songs. Sara likes to play with Lily. + +One day, Sara and Lily find a big box in the garage.

He wants to play too. He goes to the kids and says, "Hi, I am Sam. Can I play with you?" + +The kids look at him and say, "No, you can't. This is our club. You have to write your name on this paper to join our club. And you have to write it well, not like a baby." + +Sam feels sad. He thinks he can write well. He takes the paper and the crayon. He writes his name in big letters. He shows it to the kids. He says, "Look, I wrote my name. Can I join your club now?" + +The kids laugh at him. They say, "No, you can't. Your name is too big and messy. You don't know how to write. Go away, you are not in our club." + +Sam feels angry. He throws the paper and the crayon on the ground. He says, "I don't want to be in your club. Your club is mean and boring. I have my own club. It is me and my mom and my dog. We are the best club ever." + +He runs to his mom and his dog. He hugs them. He says, "I love you. You are my club. You are nice and fun. Can we go home now? It is too hot here." + +His mom smiles and kisses him. She says, "I love you too. You are my club. You are smart and brave. Yes, we can go home now. It is too hot here." + +They go home. Sam writes a new paper. He writes, "Sam's club. Mom and dog. The best club ever." He puts it on his wall.

"I need to add more flour and eggs and sugar." + +They both went to the toy sink to get more things for their food. But when they came back, they saw that their little brother Leo had mixed their pot and dish together. He had a spoon in his hand and a big smile on his face. + +"Look, I made soup-cake!" Leo said. "Yummy!" + +Mia and Ben were very angry. They did not like that Leo had ruined their food. They shouted at him and tried to take their pot and dish back. But Leo did not want to give them. He held on to them and cried. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" their mom said. She came into the room and saw the mess. She was not happy. She picked up Leo and took him to the couch. She gave him a hug and a tissue. Then she looked at Mia and Ben. + +"I know you are upset, but you should not yell at your brother. He is only three. He does not know how to play with your toys. He just wanted to join you and have fun. Maybe you can teach him how to play nicely next time." + +Mia and Ben felt a little sorry for Leo. They also felt uncomfortable. They knew their mom was right. They went to the couch and said sorry to Leo. They gave him a hug and a kiss. Then they asked him if he wanted to help them clean up the toy kitchen. + +Leo nodded and smiled. He said sorry too. He gave them his spoon and followed them to the toy sink. They all worked together to wash their pot and dish and put them away. Then they decided to make a new food that they could all share. They chose to make pizza. They had fun adding cheese and sauce and toppings. They pretended to bake it in the toy oven. Then they cut it into slices and gave some to their dolls and stuffed animals.

"Let's go!" + +They go outside and see their mom and dad putting the bags in the car. The car is big and red. It has a roof that can open and close. + +"Can we open the roof, mom?" Sara asks. She likes to see the sky and the birds when they drive. + +"Sure, we can open the roof, Sara," mom says. She pushes a button and the roof slides back. "But we have to close it if it rains, okay?" + +"Okay, mom," Sara says. She climbs into the car and sits next to Tom. They buckle their seat belts and smile. + +"Are you excited to see grandma?" dad asks. He starts the car and drives away. + +"Yes, we are excited, dad," Sara and Tom say together. They look out the window and see the trees and the houses. They wonder what grandma has for them. Maybe some cookies or a story. They can't wait to get there. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars and dolls. One day, they find a big black car in the park. It is shiny and has four wheels. + +"Wow, look at this car!" Lily says. "Can we drive it?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it belongs to someone." + +"Let's try it," Lily says. She opens the door and sits in the driver's seat. She puts on a hat and sunglasses. She feels like a grown-up. + +"Beep beep!" she says. She turns the wheel and pushes the buttons. The car makes noises and lights. + +Ben is scared. He does not want to get in trouble. He stands outside the car and watches Lily. + +"Lily, stop it!" he says. "You don't know how to drive. You might break the car or hurt someone." + +"No, I don't," Lily says. "I'm having fun. You are a baby. You are afraid of everything." + +She laughs and sticks out her tongue. She presses a big red button. The car starts to move. + +"Help!" Ben shouts. "Lily, stop the car!" + +Lily is surprised. She does not know how to stop the car. She tries to turn the wheel, but the car goes faster and faster. She sees a tree in front of her. She screams. + +"Crash!" The car hits the tree. The car is broken. The hat and sunglasses fall off. Lily is crying. Ben is crying. + +A man comes running. He is angry. He is the owner of the car. + +"What have you done to my car?" he yells. "Who are you? Where are your parents?" + +Lily and Ben are sorry. They are scared. They wish they had not played with the car. They wish they had gone for a walk instead. +Lily liked to read novels. Novels were big books with many words and pictures. They told stories about different people and places. Lily hoped to read many novels when she grew up. + +One day, Lily went to the library with her mom. She saw a novel on the shelf that looked very interesting. It had a picture of a mighty lion on the cover. Lily wanted to read it, but it was too high for her to reach. She asked her mom to help her. + +"Mom, can you get me that novel, please?" Lily said, pointing at the book. + +"Sure, honey. But it might be too hard for you to read. It's for older kids," her mom said, taking the book down. + +"I don't care. I want to try. Please, mom, can I borrow it?" Lily begged. + +Her mom smiled and nodded. She checked out the book and gave it to Lily. Lily hugged the book and thanked her mom. She was very happy. + +When they got home, Lily ran to her room and opened the novel. She tried to read the words, but they were too big and strange. She did not understand them.

She did not like the novel anymore. + +She closed the book and ran to her mom. She gave her the book and said, "Mom, I don't want this novel. It's too hard and scary. I want a different one." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, honey. I should have warned you. This novel is not for you. It's for older kids who like adventure and danger. You are too young for that. How about we find a novel that is more suitable for you? One that has nice words and pictures. One that makes you happy and curious. Would you like that?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, mom. I would like that. Thank you, mom. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's go back to the library and find a better novel for you. One that you will enjoy and learn from. One that will make you hope and dream." +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in their room. They had a big mattress on the floor that they used to jump on and pretend they were flying. One day, they decided to make a game of who could soar higher and farther on the mattress. + +"I can soar to the moon!" Tim said, and he ran and jumped on the mattress.

They wished they had listened to their mom and gone to lunch. They wished they had not tried to soar so high and far. They learned their lesson, but it was too late. They had a bad day. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They were hungry, so they went to the bench where their mom had left some sandwiches for them. + +"Look, I have a cheese sandwich!" Tom said.

Lily fell on the ground and started to cry. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Mom said. She came over and saw Lily crying and Tom holding his sandwich. "Why did you push your sister, Tom?" + +"Because she wanted my cheese sandwich, Mom. She has a ham sandwich, but she doesn't like ham. She says ham is dead," Tom said. + +"Ham is dead?" Mom said. She looked at Lily's sandwich and saw that it had a big bite mark on it. "Lily, did you bite your sandwich?" + +"Yes, Mom, I did. But I didn't like it. It tasted bad. It tasted like dead," Lily said. + +Mom sighed. She took the sandwiches from Tom and Lily and threw them in the trash. "I'm sorry, kids, but these sandwiches are not good. They are old and spoiled. They could make you sick. That's why they taste like dead. We need to get some fresh sandwiches." + +"Fresh sandwiches?" Tom and Lily said. They looked at each other and smiled. They forgot about their fight and hugged Mom. "Yes, please, Mom. We want fresh sandwiches." + +Mom smiled too. She took Tom and Lily by the hand and walked to the nearby shop.

He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I liked your drawing. It was very pretty. I wanted to touch it. I did not mean to hurt it. Can you forgive me?" + +Anna thought for a moment. She remembered what her mom said. She decided to be kind. She said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But next time, you should ask before you touch. And you should share and be kind.

She wants to help the bird. She goes to the bird and says, "Hello, bird. Why are you here? Why can't you fly?" + +The bird looks at Sara and says, "Hello, girl. I am here because I fell from the tree. I hurt my wing and I can't fly. I am scared and alone." + +Sara says, "Don't be scared, bird. I will help you. I will take you to my home and give you food and water and a warm place to rest. Maybe your wing will get better and you can fly again." + +The bird says, "Thank you, girl. You are very kind and brave. You are a good friend." + +Sara smiles and picks up the bird gently. She carries the bird to her home. She shows the bird to her mom and dad. They are surprised and happy. They help Sara take care of the bird. They give the bird a name. They call him Brownie. + +Sara and Brownie become friends. They talk and play and sing. Sara hopes that Brownie will fly again. She loves Brownie. Brownie loves Sara. He thanks her every day. He is glad that he met her in the park. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and furniture. But sometimes they disagree about what to play. + +One day, Lily wants to play house. She takes the big chair and the small table and makes a pretend kitchen. She puts her dolls on the chair and says, "This is mommy and daddy. They are cooking dinner." + +Max wants to play cars. He takes the big box and the small stool and makes a pretend garage. He puts his cars on the stool and says, "This is my car shop. I am fixing the cars." + +Lily and Max look at each other. They disagree. + +"I want to play house with you," Lily says. "You can be the baby. I will feed you and read you a story." + +"I want to play cars with you," Max says. "You can be my helper. I will teach you how to change the tires and wash the cars." + +Lily and Max shake their heads. They disagree. + +They start to argue. They raise their voices. They pull the furniture. They make a mess. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to their room. She sees the furniture and the toys and the dolls and the cars. She sees Lily and Max. They are angry and sad. + +Mom sighs. She says, "Lily and Max, why are you disagreeing? You have so many things to play with. You can share and take turns. You can play house and cars. You can have fun together." + +Lily and Max look at Mom. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They nod. They agree. + +They hug Mom. They hug each other. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We are sorry, Lily. We are sorry, Max. We will share and take turns. We will play house and cars. We will have fun together." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's good, Lily and Max. I am proud of you. You are good twins. You are good friends." + +Lily and Max smile. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. We love each other." + +They tidy up the furniture and the toys and the dolls and the cars. They play house and cars. They have fun together. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play games. One day, they play hide and seek. Lily is the seeker. She counts to ten. Tom runs to hide. + +Tom sees a shiny medal on the table. It is Dad's medal. Dad won it in a race. Tom likes the medal. He wants to play with it. He takes the medal and hides under the bed. + +Lily looks for Tom. She checks the closet, the sofa, the bathroom. She cannot find him. She hears a noise under the bed. She goes to look. She sees Tom and the medal. + +"Tom, I found you!" Lily says. "But why do you have Dad's medal? That is not yours. You should not take it. Dad will be angry." + +Tom feels bad. He knows Lily is right. He is not obedient. He gives the medal back to Lily. Lily puts it on the table. She hugs Tom. + +"I am sorry, Lily," Tom says. "I will not take Dad's medal again. I will be obedient." + +Lily smiles. "It is okay, Tom. I forgive you. You are my brother. I love you. Do you want to play another game?" + +Tom nods. He loves Lily too. They go to play another game. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play with blocks. They liked to make different things with the blocks, like houses, cars, and animals. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +One day, they decided to have a contest to see who could make the best thing with the blocks. Lily said, "I will make a big house with a roof and a door. It will be very fine and pretty." Tom said, "I will make a fast car with wheels and a horn. It will be very fine and cool." + +They started to build their things with the blocks. Lily used many blocks to make a big house. She used red blocks for the roof, yellow blocks for the door, and blue blocks for the windows. She was very proud of her house. Tom used fewer blocks to make a fast car. He used black blocks for the wheels, green blocks for the body, and orange blocks for the horn. He was very proud of his car. + +They finished their things and showed them to each other. Lily said, "Look at my house. It is very fine and pretty. I used many blocks to make it. It has a roof and a door and windows. It is the best thing ever." Tom said, "Look at my car. It is very fine and cool. I used fewer blocks to make it. It has wheels and a horn and can go fast. It is the best thing ever." + +They started to argue about whose thing was better. Lily said, "My house is better because it is bigger and has more style. Your car is smaller and has less style. You are not good at making things with blocks." Tom said, "My car is better because it is faster and has more number. Your house is slower and has less number. You are not good at making things with blocks." + +They got angry and started to throw blocks at each other. They broke their things and made a big mess. They hurt each other and cried. They were not friends anymore. They had a bad ending. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a hose on the grass. Ben had an idea. + +"Let's play with the hose!" he said. "We can make water come out and spray each other!" + +Lily nodded. She thought it sounded fun. They ran to the hose and Ben turned the tap. Water came out of the hose and they squealed with joy. They took turns holding the hose and spraying each other. They got wet and cold, but they didn't care. + +But then they heard a loud growl. They turned around and saw a big dog. The dog was angry. It had sharp teeth and a mean look. It wanted the hose. It ran towards them and snatched the hose from Lily's hand. It started to chew the hose. Water sprayed everywhere. + +"Help!" Lily cried. "The dog has the hose!" + +Ben was scared. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to help Lily, but he didn't want to get bitten by the dog. He looked around and saw a stick. He picked it up and threw it at the dog. + +"Hey, dog!" he shouted. "Leave the hose alone! Go fetch the stick!" + +The dog heard Ben's voice and saw the stick. It dropped the hose and chased the stick. Ben and Lily ran to the hose and picked it up. They ran to the house and knocked on the door. + +"Mum! Mum!" they called. "There's a big dog in the garden! It tried to chew the hose!" + +Mum opened the door and saw them. They were wet and muddy and worried. She hugged them and took them inside. + +"Are you OK?" she asked. "What happened?" + +Ben and Lily told her everything. Mum listened and nodded. She was glad they were safe. + +"Don't worry," she said. "The dog is gone now. It was just curious. It didn't mean to scare you. But next time, be careful when you play with the hose. And don't go near strange dogs. OK?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said sorry for making a mess. Mum smiled and gave them a towel. She said they could have a hot chocolate and a cookie. They said thank you and smiled too. They were happy to be with Mum. They decided to play with something else next time. +Sara and Ben like to race their bikes. They race on the sidewalk, on the grass, and on the dirt. They have fun and laugh a lot. They think they are very fast. + +One day, they want to race on the road. They see the cars and trucks go by. They think they can be faster than them. They do not listen to Mom and Dad, who say the road is not safe. They wait for a gap in the traffic, and then they pedal hard. + +They race on the road, side by side. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their skin. They smile and shout. They think they are very brave. + +But they do not see the red car coming. The red car is very pretty, but very fast. The driver does not see Sara and Ben, either. He is looking at his phone, not the road. He does not slow down or stop. + +There is a loud noise, a big crash, and a lot of pain. Sara and Ben fly off their bikes. They land on the ground, bleeding and crying. The red car stops, and the driver gets out. He is very sorry, but it is too late. Sara and Ben are hurt very bad. They do not race anymore. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to draw with pencils and paper. They draw houses, trees, flowers and animals. They have many colors of pencils. + +One day, it is very hot outside. Lily and Ben are sweaty and thirsty. They want to go inside and drink water. But they have to clean their pencils and paper first. They do not want to leave a mess. + +"Ben, can you help me clean?" Lily asks. "We have to put our pencils and paper in the box." + +"OK, Lily, I will help you," Ben says. "But can we hurry? I am very hot and I want water." + +Lily and Ben work together. They pick up their pencils and paper and put them in the box. They close the lid and carry the box to the shelf. They are good friends and they share their things. + +"Good job, Lily and Ben!" their teacher says. "You are very neat and tidy. Now you can go inside and drink water. You can also have a snack. Do you want a cookie or a banana?" + +Lily and Ben smile. They are happy and proud. They say thank you to their teacher and go inside. They drink water and eat a cookie. They feel better and cooler. They are ready to play again. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they found a shiny coin on the ground. They were very happy and ran to the candy store. + +"Can we buy some candy with this coin?" Lily asked the man in the store. + +"Yes, you can. This coin has value. It is worth two candies. You can choose any two you like," the man said. + +Lily and Tom looked at all the candies. There were many colors and shapes. They picked one each and gave the coin to the man. + +"Thank you, mister!" they said and ran outside. + +They opened their candies and took a bite. Lily had a pink candy that tasted sweet and fruity. Tom had a green candy that tasted sour and bitter. + +"Yuck! This candy is bad!" Tom said and made a face. + +"Let me try," Lily said and took his candy. + +She bit it and also made a face. + +"You are right. This candy is sour. It hurts my tongue. Do you want to try mine?" she said and gave him her candy. + +Tom took her candy and bit it. He smiled. + +"This candy is good! It is sweet and yummy. Thank you, Lily!" he said and gave her a hug. + +Lily hugged him back. + +"You are welcome, Tom. You are my best friend. Can I have a kiss?" she said and looked at him. + +Tom nodded. + +"Okay, Lily. You can have a kiss. You are my best friend too," he said and kissed her on the cheek. + +They smiled and ate their candies. They were happy and shared their value. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to observe things. They observe birds, flowers, cars, and stars. They observe with their eyes, ears, and noses. They ask many questions. + +One day, Sara and Ben go to the park with their moms. They see a big pond with many ducks. They observe the ducks. They see how they swim, quack, and eat bread. They observe their colors, shapes, and feathers. + +"Look, Ben, that duck is white and brown. It is modest. It does not make much noise. It is nice," Sara says. + +"Look, Sara, that duck is black and green. It is not modest. It makes a lot of noise. It is bossy," Ben says. + +They observe more ducks. They see some ducks are modest and some ducks are not. They see some ducks are friendly and some ducks are not. They see some ducks are big and some ducks are small. + +They observe the ducks for a long time. They learn many things. They have fun. They go to the park every week. They observe more things. They are happy. +Lily was a little girl who liked to learn new things. She had a tutor who came to her house every week to teach her how to read and write. The tutor was very nice and patient with Lily, and gave her fun books and games to play with. + +One day, Lily was waiting for her tutor to arrive. She was so excited that she ran to the door to greet him. But she did not see the toy car that her brother had left on the floor. She stumbled over the car and fell down hard. She hurt her knee and started to cry. + +The tutor heard her cry and rushed to help her. He picked her up and hugged her gently. He looked at her knee and saw that it was bleeding a little. He took her to the bathroom and cleaned her wound with some water and a cheap band-aid. He told her that she was very brave and that he was proud of her. + +Lily felt better after the tutor took care of her. She thanked him and smiled. She still wanted to learn with him, so they went to the living room and sat on the couch. The tutor opened a book and read her a story. Lily listened and repeated the words. She enjoyed the story and forgot about her pain. She was happy to have such a good tutor. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the garden. They had a big box of toys. They had dolls, cars, balls and books. + +One day, they saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and scary. They heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They saw a bright light. It was lightning. + +"Let's go inside!" Lily said. "It will rain soon!" + +But Tom did not want to go. He wanted to play more. He liked the thunder and the lightning. He thought they were fun. + +"No, I want to stay!" Tom said. "I am not afraid. I am strong!" + +Lily was worried. She did not like the thunder and the lightning. She thought they were dangerous. She tried to make Tom go with her. + +"Please, Tom, come with me!" Lily said. "The rain will wet our toys. We can play inside. We can cover our toys with a blanket. They will be safe and dry." + +But Tom did not listen. He shook his head. He picked up a ball and threw it in the air. He laughed. + +"No, I want to play!" Tom said. "The rain will not wet our toys. They are strong too!" + +Lily did not know what to do. She was sad and scared. She ran inside the house. She hoped Tom would follow her. + +But Tom did not follow her. He stayed in the garden. He played with his toys. He did not see the rain coming. He did not hear his mother calling him. + +The rain came. It was heavy and cold. It wet Tom and his toys. It made them dirty and soggy. It ruined them. + +Tom cried. He was not strong. He was wet and cold. He wanted his mother. He wanted his toys. He wanted Lily. + +But it was too late. The rain had covered everything. The garden was a mess. The toys were broken. Lily was gone. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the pool. They had many toys to splash and swim with. But they did not like to share their toys with each other. They always fought and grabbed and said "mine, mine, mine!" + +One day, their mom gave them a new toy. It was a big ball that was bright and shiny. It looked like a sun. Mom said, "This is a special ball. You have to polish it every day to keep it bright. And you have to share it with each other. If you don't, the ball will lose its shine and become dull." + +Lily and Ben were very excited to play with the ball. They took turns to polish it with a cloth. Then they threw it in the pool and watched it sparkle. They had so much fun with the ball. They forgot to fight and grab and say "mine, mine, mine!" + +But one day, Lily was feeling greedy. She wanted to play with the ball all by herself. She hid the ball under her bed and did not tell Ben. She did not polish it either. She thought, "This is my ball. I don't have to share it or polish it. It will always be bright and shiny." + +Ben looked for the ball everywhere. He asked Lily, "Where is our ball? I want to play with it in the pool." Lily lied, "I don't know. Maybe mom took it away. Go away and leave me alone." Ben felt sad and angry. He went to the pool without the ball. + +The next day, Lily wanted to play with the ball again. She took it out from under her bed. But she was shocked to see that the ball was not bright and shiny anymore. It was dull and dirty. It looked like a rock. Lily cried, "What happened to my ball? It was so beautiful and now it is so ugly. I want my ball back." + +She ran to mom and showed her the ball. Mom said, "I told you, this is a special ball. You have to polish it every day to keep it bright. And you have to share it with your brother. If you don't, the ball will lose its shine and become dull. You were selfish and dishonest, Lily. You hurt your brother and yourself. I'm sorry, but the ball can't be fixed. You have to learn your lesson." + +Lily felt very sorry and ashamed. She wished she had listened to mom and shared the ball with Ben. She went to the pool and found Ben. She said, "Ben, I'm sorry. I lied to you. I hid the ball under my bed and did not polish it. Now it is ruined. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?" Ben looked at Lily and saw that she was sincere. He said, "I forgive you, Lily. I'm sorry too. I was angry with you. I missed you and the ball. Can we be friends again?" Lily nodded and hugged Ben. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We learned our lesson. We will share and be kind to each other." Mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you did. I love you both. Now go and play in the pool. I have a surprise for you." She brought out another ball that was bright and shiny. She said, "This is a new ball. You can play with it together. But remember, you have to polish it every day and share it with each other. If you do, the ball will always be bright and shiny. And so will your friendship." Lily and Ben thanked mom and promised to do so. They took the ball and played in the pool. They had more fun than ever. They never fought and grabbed and said "mine, mine, mine!" again. They polished the ball and their friendship every day. And they lived happily ever after. +Ben and Lily were playing hide and seek in the old house. Ben was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran up the stairs and looked for a good spot. She saw a big closet and opened the door. Inside, there were many old clothes and boxes. Lily thought it was a perfect place to hide. She crawled into the closet and closed the door behind her. + +Ben counted to ten and then shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" He searched the rooms downstairs, but he could not find Lily. He decided to go upstairs and look there. He heard a faint sound coming from the closet. He tiptoed to the door and opened it slowly. He saw Lily's feet sticking out from behind a box. He smiled and said, "I found you, Lily!" + +Lily heard Ben's voice and tried to get out of the closet. But as she moved, she touched a cobweb that was hanging from the ceiling. She felt something tickle her nose and she sneezed. "Achoo!" The sneeze was loud and made the closet shake. Some of the boxes fell down and some of the clothes flew out. Lily was scared and started to cry. + +Ben saw Lily crying and felt worried. He ran to her and hugged her. He said, "Don't cry, Lily. It's okay. It was just a cobweb. You're not hurt. I'm sorry I scared you." He helped her get out of the closet and wiped her tears. He said, "Do you want to play something else? We can go downstairs and play with the toys." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, let's play something else. I don't like the closet. It's dark and dusty and has cobwebs. You're a good brother, Ben. Thank you for making me feel better." She hugged him back and they went downstairs together. They played with the toys and had fun. They forgot about the closet and the cobweb and the sneeze. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Tim wants to go on the slide. Jen is scared of the slide. She says it is too high and too fast. + +Tim says, "Don't be scared. It is fun. Come with me." He pulls Jen by the hand. Jen feels an urge to run away. She does not want to go on the slide. She says, "No, Tim. Let me go. I don't like the slide." + +Tim does not listen. He drags Jen to the top of the slide. Jen cries and shakes. She sees the ground far below. She sees the thick metal bars of the slide. She thinks she will fall and hurt herself. + +Tim says, "Stop crying. It is easy. Just sit down and slide." He pushes Jen on the slide. Jen screams and closes her eyes. She feels the wind and the speed. She feels sick and scared. + +Tim laughs and follows Jen. He thinks it is funny. He does not see Jen's face. He does not hear Jen's voice. He does not know Jen is sad and angry. + +Jen reaches the bottom of the slide. She jumps off and runs away. She does not look at Tim. She does not want to be his friend. She becomes lonely and sad. She wishes Tim was kind and gentle. She wishes Tim would say sorry. +Lily and Ben were very happy. They moved to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes to unpack. Lily and Ben helped Mom and Dad unpack their toys, books and clothes. They put them in their new rooms. + +After they unpacked, Mom and Dad said they could watch a movie. Lily and Ben liked movies. They had a big TV in the living room. Mom and Dad let them choose a movie. Lily wanted to watch a princess movie. Ben wanted to watch a dinosaur movie. They could not agree. + +Mom and Dad had an idea. They said they had a movie that was original. It was not like any other movie. It had princesses and dinosaurs. Lily and Ben were curious. They wanted to see the movie. Mom and Dad put the movie in the TV. It was called The Land Before Time. Lily and Ben loved the movie. They saw a brave dinosaur named Littlefoot and a kind princess named Cera. They had many friends and adventures. Lily and Ben learned to share and be nice. They hugged Mom and Dad and thanked them for the original movie. They were very happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were in a big castle with many rooms and secrets. They had a big wardrobe that they used as a door to their castle. They put some blankets and pillows inside and made it cozy. + +One day, they heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw a big truck. The truck had a sign that said "Moving". They saw some men carrying boxes and furniture from the house next door. They wondered who was leaving and who was coming. + +They decided to go outside and see. They put on their shoes and coats and ran to the door. But the door was locked. They tried to open it, but it did not move. They looked for the key, but they could not find it. They felt helpless. They did not know what to do. + +They shouted for their mom and dad, but no one answered. They were alone in the house. They started to cry. They wished they could get out and see the truck and the new neighbors. + +Then they had an idea. They remembered the wardrobe. They thought maybe they could use it to get out. They ran to the wardrobe and opened it. They saw the blankets and pillows, but they also saw something else. They saw a window at the back of the wardrobe. It was small, but big enough for them to fit. + +They moved the blankets and pillows and climbed to the window. They pushed it open and saw the backyard. They saw a fence and a gate. They thought maybe they could get out from there. + +They helped each other to get out of the window. They carried the blankets and pillows with them. They did not want to leave them behind. They walked to the fence and opened the gate. They saw the street and the truck and the men. They also saw their mom and dad. They were talking to the new neighbors. They looked happy and friendly. + +Lily and Ben ran to their mom and dad. They hugged them and told them what happened. They showed them the wardrobe and the window.

They said they wanted to be friends too. They said they wanted to play too. They invited them to their room. They said they had a big wardrobe that was a door to a castle. They said they had blankets and pillows that were cozy. They said they had a window that was a secret. + +The new neighbors agreed. They followed them to their room. They saw the wardrobe and the window. They thought it was amazing. They wanted to see the castle. They wanted to be cozy. They wanted to know the secret. + +They all went inside the wardrobe. They closed the door behind them. They did not hear the truck or the men or the street. They only heard their own voices and laughter. They felt happy and adventurous. They felt like they were in a big castle with many rooms and secrets. +Lily and Sam love to travel with their mom and dad. They go to many places and see many things. Sometimes they travel by car, sometimes by train, and sometimes by jet. + +One day, they travel by jet to a big city. They are very excited to see the jet. It is shiny and fast and loud. They have to put their bags in a big machine and wear a belt on their seat. They look out the window and see the clouds and the sky. + +When they get to the big city, they take a taxi to their hotel. The hotel is very tall and has many rooms. They have to share a room with their mom and dad. They have to be tidy and not make a mess. They put their clothes in a drawer and their toys in a bag. + +They have a lot of fun in the big city. They go to a park, a museum, a zoo, and a shop. They see many people and animals and things.

They travel by jet to their home and sleep very well. +Sam and Lily liked to play on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and look for shells. One day, they found a big stick and some seaweed. They had an idea. + +"Let's decorate our sand castle with the stick and the seaweed!" Sam said. + +"OK, that sounds fun!" Lily said. + +They put the stick on top of the castle like a flag. They wrapped the seaweed around the walls like a garland. They were very proud of their work. + +"Look, our castle is so pretty!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is!" Sam said. + +They heard a noise. It was the tide. The water was coming closer and closer to their castle. + +"Oh no, the tide is going to wash away our castle!" Sam said. + +"Quick, let's move it to a higher place!" Lily said. + +They tried to lift their castle, but it was too heavy. They could not move it. The water reached their castle and broke it into pieces. The stick and the seaweed floated away. + +Sam and Lily were sad. They had worked hard to decorate their castle. + +"It's OK, Sam. We can make another castle tomorrow." Lily said. + +"Really?" Sam said. + +"Yes, really. The tide comes and goes every day. That's normal." Lily said. + +She hugged Sam and smiled. + +"Maybe we can find some new things to decorate our castle with." She said. + +"Maybe we can." Sam said. + +They held hands and walked back to their mom and dad. They still liked to play on the beach. +Tom and Lily were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses with different colors and shapes. Tom had a long blue block that he wanted to use for the roof of his house. He put it on the floor next to him. + +Lily saw the long blue block and wanted it for her tower. She thought it would make her tower taller and prettier. She did not ask Tom if she could have it. She just grabbed it from the floor and put it on top of her tower. + +"Hey, that's my block!" Tom shouted. He was angry and sad. He had worked hard to find the long blue block. He liked its texture. It was smooth and shiny. He tried to grab it back from Lily's tower. + +But Lily did not let go. She held the block tightly. She did not want to share it. She said, "No, it's mine! I saw it first!" + +They both pulled the block and started to fight. They did not listen to each other. They did not care about each other's feelings. They only cared about the block. + +Then, something bad happened. The block snapped in half. It broke into two pieces. Tom and Lily were shocked. They looked at the broken block and felt sorry. They had ruined their toy. They had ruined their fun. They had ruined their friendship. + +They realized they had made a mistake. They had been greedy and selfish. They had not been kind and fair. They had not been good friends. + +They said sorry to each other. They hugged and made up. They decided to share the block. They used the two pieces to make a bridge for their houses. They played together happily. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. It is better to be generous and friendly than to be greedy and mean. It is more fun to play with others than to fight with them. +Jill and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big box of blocks, cars, dolls and animals. They could build, drive, dress and feed them. They had a lot of fun together. + +One day, they found a new toy in the box. It was a shiny ball that made a spark when they touched it. It was very pretty and bright. Jill and Ben both wanted to play with it. They started to fight over it. + +"Give me the ball!" Jill said. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said. + +They pulled and tugged on the ball. They were not cheerful anymore. They were angry and mean. + +Jill had an idea. She pinched Ben's arm hard. Ben cried out and let go of the ball. Jill grabbed it and ran away. She was happy. She had the ball. + +But Ben was not happy. He was sad and hurt. He wanted the ball too. He wanted to play with Jill. He followed her to the other room. + +"Jill, please share the ball with me," Ben said. + +"No, go away!" Jill said. + +She held the ball close to her chest. She did not want to share it. She did not care about Ben. + +But then, something bad happened. The ball made a big spark. It was too big and hot. It burned Jill's hand. She screamed and dropped the ball. She was scared and in pain. + +Ben heard her scream. He ran to her and saw her hand. He felt sorry for her. He forgot about the ball. He cared about Jill. + +"Jill, are you okay?" Ben said. + +He hugged her and kissed her hand. He tried to make her feel better. + +Jill felt his hug and kiss. She felt sorry too. She forgot about the ball. She cared about Ben. + +"Ben, I'm sorry," Jill said. + +She hugged him back and kissed his cheek. She tried to make him feel better. + +They looked at each other and smiled. They were cheerful again. They did not need the ball. They had each other. They were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a lot of fun together. +Lila and Mom are going on a big plane to see Grandma. They are very happy and excited. They pack their bags and toys and get in the car. + +"Mom, do we need anything else?" Lila asks. + +"Yes, we need our passports. They are like special cards that tell the people at the airport who we are and where we are going. They are very important. We have to keep them safe and show them when we check in and board the plane." Mom explains. + +"OK, Mom. I will help you keep them safe. Where are they?" Lila says. + +Mom looks in her purse and gasps. "Oh no! I forgot them at home! We have to go back and get them. We have to be very fast or we will miss our plane!" Mom says. + +She turns the car around and drives as fast as she can. Lila holds on to her seat and hopes they will make it. She sees the passports on the table when they get home. She grabs them and runs back to the car. + +"Here they are, Mom! We have them!" Lila shouts. + +"Good job, Lila! You are a big help. Now let's go to the airport and see Grandma. We can still make it if we hurry." Mom says. + +They drive fast again and get to the airport just in time. They show their passports and get on the plane. Lila and Mom are happy and relieved. They can't wait to see Grandma and give her a big hug. +Lily and Tom were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Sometimes they went into the water, but not too far, because the sea was big and deep. + +One day, they saw a little fish on the shore. It was not moving and looked sad. Lily and Tom wanted to help the fish. They ran to their mom and dad and said, "Look, a fish! It needs water!" + +Their mom and dad looked at the fish and said, "You're right, it does. But we can't put it back in the sea, because it might be hurt or sick. Maybe we can find someone who can rescue it and take care of it." + +They looked around and saw a sign that said, "Sea Life Center". They decided to go there and ask for help. They carefully picked up the fish and put it in a bucket with some water. They carried the bucket to the center and showed it to a lady who worked there. + +The lady smiled and said, "Thank you for bringing this fish to us. It's a starfish, and it's very special. Sometimes they get washed up on the shore by the waves, but they can survive for a while out of the water. We can rescue it and put it in a tank with other starfish, where it will be happy and safe." + +Lily and Tom were happy to hear that. They said, "Can we see the tank and the other starfish?" + +The lady said, "Of course, you can. Follow me, and I'll show you." + +She led them to a big tank with colorful corals and rocks. There were many starfish of different shapes and sizes, some with five arms, some with six, some with more. They looked happy and healthy. The lady gently put the starfish they brought in the tank, and it slowly moved to join the others. + +Lily and Tom watched the starfish and said, "Bye, starfish! We're glad you're okay!" + +The lady said, "You did a good thing today. You helped rescue a starfish and gave it a new home. You should be proud of yourselves." + +Lily and Tom smiled and hugged their mom and dad. They felt good and happy. They learned something new and made a new friend. They said, "Thank you, lady. We love the sea and the starfish!" + +The end. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play with boats. They had a big boat made of wood and cloth that they could sail on the lake. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. + +One day, they found a big box in the water. They were very curious and wanted to see what was inside. They pulled the box onto their boat and opened it. Inside, they saw many pieces of beef. They were very happy and thought they had found a pirate's feast. + +"Wow, look at all this beef!" Lily said. "We can eat it and share it with our friends!" + +"Yum, yum, yum!" Tom said. "Let's try some now!" + +They took some pieces of beef and bit into them. But they did not taste good. They tasted sour and bitter and made their mouths hurt. They spit out the beef and felt sick. + +"Yuck, this beef is bad!" Lily said. "It must be very old and rotten!" + +"Maybe it was a trap!" Tom said. "Maybe someone wanted to make us sick!" + +They looked around and saw a big ship coming towards them. It had a black flag with a skull and bones. It was a real pirate ship! The pirates saw them and laughed. + +"Ha, ha, ha!" the pirates said. "We fooled you, you silly kids! That was our bait, not our food! We threw it in the water to lure you to us! Now we will take your boat and your treasure and make you walk the plank!" + +The pirates boarded their boat and grabbed Lily and Tom. They were very mean and scary. They took their treasure and threw them into the water. Lily and Tom tried to swim, but they were too weak and tired. They sank into the dark and cold water. They never saw their friends or their families again. The end. +Anna and Ben were at the park with their mom. They saw a man with many balloons of different colors. He was selling them to the children who came by. + +"Mom, can we have a balloon?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, you can each choose one," mom said. + +Anna and Ben ran to the man and looked at the balloons. Anna liked the pink one, and Ben liked the blue one. They gave the man some money and took their balloons. + +"Thank you, mister," they said. + +"You're welcome, kids. Enjoy your balloons, but be careful. They are rare and special. They can do something that other balloons can't," the man said. + +"What can they do?" Anna asked. + +The man smiled and said, "You'll see. Just touch them and find out." + +Anna and Ben were curious. They touched their balloons gently. To their surprise, the balloons started to glow and make soft sounds. The pink one sounded like a bell, and the blue one sounded like a whistle. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Anna said. + +"Cool, this is fun!" Ben said. + +They touched their balloons again and again, and made them glow and sound louder and louder. They laughed and danced with their balloons, and mom watched them with a smile. + +They had a wonderful time at the park with their rare and special balloons. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fight over who gets what. One day, they both want the same puzzle. It is a puzzle of a farm with many animals. It is their uncle's original puzzle. He gave it to them when he visited last month. + +Sara says, "I want the puzzle! It is mine!" Tom says, "No, it is mine! I saw it first!" They pull and tug at the puzzle. The puzzle breaks into pieces. Some pieces fall on the floor. Some pieces fly in the air. Sara and Tom cry. + +Their mom hears the noise. She comes to their room. She sees the broken puzzle and the sad twins. She says, "What happened here? Why did you break the puzzle?" Sara and Tom complain. They say, "He did it!" and "She did it!" They point at each other. + +Their mom shakes her head. She says, "You both did it. You both wanted the same thing and you did not share. You did not respect your uncle's original puzzle. You made a mess and you hurt each other's feelings. That is not nice." + +She picks up the pieces of the puzzle. She says, "I will try to fix the puzzle. But you have to help me. You have to say sorry to each other and to your uncle. And you have to learn to take turns and share. Can you do that?" + +Sara and Tom nod. They say, "Yes, mom. We are sorry." They hug each other and their mom. They say, "We love you, mom. And we love our uncle and his original puzzle." They help their mom to fix the puzzle. They promise to play nicely from now on. +Sara and Max are twins. They like to go to the mall with Mom and Dad. The mall has many shops and toys and food. Sara and Max like to look at the books and the cars and the dolls. + +One day, Mom and Dad say they will take Sara and Max to the mall after nap time. Sara and Max are happy. They go to their room and sleep on their beds. They have soft blankets and pillows. + +Sara wakes up first. She looks at the clock. It is time to go to the mall.

I want to sleep more." + +Sara says, "No, Max, you have to wake up. Mom and Dad are waiting for us. The mall is fun. Come on, Max, wake up!" + +Max says, "Okay, okay, I will wake up. But I am thirsty. Can I have some water?" + +Sara says, "Yes, Max, you can have some water. But hurry up. We have to go to the mall." + +Sara and Max go to the bathroom. They brush their teeth and wash their faces. They drink some water from the tap. The water is cold and wet. Sara and Max like the water. + +They go to the living room. Mom and Dad are there. They have their coats and bags. They say, "Are you ready, Sara and Max? Let's go to the mall!" + +Sara and Max say, "Yes, we are ready! Let's go to the mall!" + +They put on their coats and shoes.

They want to see everything. They hold Mom and Dad's hands. They go to the mall. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big box in the park. It had many colorful things inside. They looked like sticks and balls and stars. Tom and Sam were curious. They wanted to see what they were. + +"Let's take some and play with them," Tom said. He picked up a stick and a ball. + +"No, we should not," Sam said. He was scared. He remembered what his mom told him. "Those are fireworks. They are not toys. They can hurt you and make loud noises. We should leave them alone." + +But Tom did not listen. He thought Sam was a baby. He wanted to have fun. He ran away with the stick and the ball. He found a lighter on the ground. He lit the stick and threw it in the air. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. He saw a bright spark and a loud bang. He laughed. He thought it was incredible. + +"Tom, stop it!" Sam shouted. He followed Tom and tried to stop him. He was worried. He saw smoke and fire. He saw people and animals running away. He saw a policeman coming. + +"Tom, please, come with me. We have to go. It is dangerous," Sam said. He offered his hand to Tom. + +But Tom did not listen. He wanted to see more. He lit the ball and threw it on the ground. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. He saw a big flash and a louder bang. He smiled. He thought it was incredible. + +But then he felt a sharp pain. He screamed. He saw blood and tears. He saw his hand was gone. He saw Sam crying. He saw the policeman angry. + +"Tom, why did you do that?" Sam asked. He was sad. He hugged Tom. He wished he could help him. + +But Tom did not answer. He was sorry. He wished he had listened. He learned a hard lesson. + +The moral of the story is: fireworks are not toys. They can hurt you and others. You should listen to your friends and parents. They know what is best for you. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the farm with the animals. One day, they see a big horse in the barn. The horse is brown and has a long mane. + +"Can we pet the horse?" Tom asks Sam. + +"I don't know. He looks big and strong. Maybe he will bite us," Sam says. He is worry. + +Tom is brave. He wants to pet the horse. He walks slowly to the horse and says, "Hello, horse. You are pretty. Can I touch you?" + +The horse looks at Tom and snorts. He does not bite Tom. He likes Tom. He lowers his head and lets Tom stroke his nose. + +Sam sees that the horse is nice. He is not worry anymore. He joins Tom and pets the horse too. + +The horse is happy. He likes the boys.

Here, have some," the horse says. He nudges some oats to the boys. + +Tom and Sam eat some oats with the horse. They are yummy. They are friends with the horse. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the backyard. They liked to build things with the lumber that Dad left there. They had hammers and nails and saws, but they were careful not to hurt themselves. + +One day, they decided to make a house for their dolls. They worked hard and had fun. They used the saw to cut the lumber and the hammer to nail it together. They made a roof and a door and a window. + +"Look, our house is almost done!" Lily said. "We just need to paint it." + +"Let's use the red paint," Tom said. "It will look nice." + +They got the paint and the brush and started to paint the house. They were very thoughtful and did not spill the paint or make a mess. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They looked up and saw dark clouds in the sky. It was going to rain. + +"Oh no, our house!" Lily cried. "The rain will ruin it!" + +"Quick, let's cover it with something!" Tom said. + +They looked around and saw a big tarp. They ran to get it and tried to put it over the house. But the wind was strong and the tarp was heavy. They could not hold it. + +Suddenly, a flash of lightning struck the tarp. It made a hole and sparks flew. Lily and Tom were scared and dropped the tarp. + +"Help, help!" they shouted. + +Dad heard them and came out. He saw what happened and ran to them. He hugged them and made sure they were not hurt. + +"It's okay, it's okay," he said. "You are safe. The lightning did not touch you." + +He took them inside and gave them hot chocolate. He told them not to worry about the house. He said they could fix it later. + +Lily and Tom felt better. They thanked Dad and said they were sorry for the trouble. + +Dad smiled and said he was proud of them. He said they were very clever and creative to make a house with lumber. He said he loved them very much. +Sara liked to number her toys. She had one doll, two cars, three books and four balls. She put them in a line and counted them every day. She was very good at numbers. + +One day, Sara saw a big peach on the table. It was round and soft and smelled sweet. Sara wanted to eat the peach, but she did not know how. She picked up the peach and tried to bite it, but it was too hard. She tried to peel it, but it was too fuzzy. She tried to cut it, but it was too slippery. + +Sara was frustrated. She threw the peach on the floor and started to cry. She did not like the peach. She wanted her toys. + +But when she looked for her toys, she saw something scary. A big ant was crawling on her doll. Two more ants were on her cars. Three more ants were on her books. Four more ants were on her balls. The ants were taking her toys away. + +Sara was frightened. She did not like the ants. She wanted her toys back. + +She ran to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Sara. We can get rid of the ants and get your toys back. And we can also teach you how to eat a peach. It is very yummy inside." + +Sara smiled. She liked her mom. She wanted to learn how to eat a peach. And she wanted to number her toys again. +Ben and his dog Spot were playing in the park. They liked to run and chase each other on the grass. Sometimes, Spot would find a stick or a ball and bring it to Ben. Ben would clap his hands and say, "Good boy, Spot! You are so smart and loyal!" + +One day, they saw a big bird in the sky. It had a long tail and many colors. It was a peacock. The peacock landed on a fence and opened its tail. It looked very pretty and proud. Ben and Spot wanted to see it closer. + +They walked slowly to the fence. The peacock saw them and made a loud noise. It sounded like a laugh. Ben and Spot stopped and looked at the peacock. The peacock laughed again and shook its tail. A feather fell to the ground. It was blue and green and shiny. + +Ben picked up the feather and said, "Wow, what a beautiful feather! Thank you, peacock!" He showed it to Spot. Spot sniffed the feather and wagged his tail. He liked the feather too. + +The peacock smiled and said, "You're welcome, little boy and dog. You are very polite and friendly. Do you want to play with me?" Ben and Spot nodded and said, "Yes, please!" They ran to the fence and jumped over it. The peacock flapped its wings and flew to the other side. They played tag and hide and seek. They had a lot of fun. Ben and Spot clapped their hands and paws. They made a new friend. +Tom was a lazy cat. He liked to sleep all day on the sofa and never helped his mom with anything. He did not like to play with his sister or his friends. He only wanted to eat and nap. + +One day, his mom said, "Tom, you have to go outside and get some fresh air. You are too lazy and you need to exercise. Come on, let's go for a walk." Tom did not want to go. He complained and said, "No, mom, I don't want to go. It is too hot and too noisy outside. I want to stay here and sleep." + +His mom did not listen to him. She picked him up and put him on a leash. She said, "Tom, you are a cat, not a pillow. You have to move and have fun. You will feel better and happier. Now, stop complaining and let's go." She dragged him out of the door and down the stairs. + +Tom hated the leash. He felt it was tight around his neck and he could not breathe. He tried to pull away and hide under a car. He said, "Mom, let me go. This leash hurts my neck. I don't like it. I want to go back home." His mom said, "Tom, you are being silly. The leash is not hurting you. It is for your safety. You have to stay with me and not run away. There are many dangers outside. You have to be careful and brave." + +Tom did not feel brave. He felt scared and angry. He saw other cats playing and chasing birds and mice. He said, "Mom, look at them. They are having fun. They don't have leashes. Why do I have to have one? It is not fair." His mom said, "Tom, those cats are not as lucky as you. They don't have a home or a family. They have to find their own food and water. They have to fight and hide from dogs and people. You have a good life, Tom. You should be grateful and happy." + +Tom did not feel grateful or happy. He felt bored and sad. He said, "Mom, I don't care. I don't want to be here. I want to be home. I want to sleep on the sofa. I want to be lazy." His mom said, "Tom, you are being selfish and stubborn. You have to learn to enjoy new things and new places. You have to learn to be friendly and curious. You have to learn to be a good cat, Tom. A good cat is not lazy." + +Tom did not want to be a good cat. He wanted to be a lazy cat. He said, "Mom, I don't want to learn. I don't want to be a good cat. I want to be a lazy cat. I want to go home. Now." His mom said, "Tom, you are making me sad. You are not listening to me. You are not being nice to me. You are not being a good son, Tom. A good son is not lazy." + +Tom did not want to make his mom sad. He loved his mom. He said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I don't mean to make you sad. I don't mean to be a bad son. I love you, mom." His mom said, "I love you too, Tom. But you have to change your attitude. You have to stop being lazy and start being active. You have to stop complaining and start appreciating. You have to stop being a lazy cat and start being a good cat." + +Tom thought about what his mom said. He looked at her and saw that she was smiling. He felt a warm feeling in his heart. He said, "Mom, you are right. I have to change. I have to try. I have to be a good cat. I will be a good cat, mom. I will be a good son." His mom said, "That's my boy. I'm proud of you, Tom. Now, let's go and have some fun. Let's go and explore the world. Let's go and be happy." Tom said, "Okay, mom. Let's go. I'm ready. I'm not lazy anymore. I'm a good cat." And they walked away, hand in hand, or rather, paw in hand. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They had a big box, some paper, and some crayons. They wanted to make a pretend restaurant. + +"I will be the chef, and you will be the customer," said Lily. She put on a paper hat and apron. "What do you want to eat?" + +Ben looked at the paper menu that Lily had drawn. It had pictures of pizza, soup, salad, and cake. He pointed at the cake. "I want cake, please." + +"Okay, one cake coming up," said Lily. She went to the box and pretended to bake a cake. She used a round plate, a napkin, and a candle. She put the candle on top of the napkin and lit it with a match. She was very careful not to burn herself. + +She brought the cake to Ben and put it on the table. "Here you go, your cake is ready. Happy birthday!" + +Ben smiled and clapped his hands. He liked the candle. It was bright and warm. He touched it with his finger. It was rough and hard. He blew it out and made a wish. + +"Thank you, Lily. This is the best cake ever. You are a great chef." + +Lily hugged Ben. "You are welcome, Ben. You are a great customer. I love you." + +They shared the cake and had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Ben likes to look at small things with his microscope. He has many slides with bugs, leaves, and hairs. He keeps them in a tidy box on his shelf. One day, he wants to show his friend Amy his microscope and slides. + +He invites Amy to his room and says, "Look, Amy, this is my microscope. You can see very small things with it. Do you want to try?" + +Amy nods and smiles. She likes Ben and his microscope. She picks a slide with a bug and puts it under the lens. She turns the knob and sees the bug's eyes, legs, and wings. She says, "Wow, Ben, this is amazing! The bug looks like a monster!" + +Ben laughs and says, "It's not a monster, Amy. It's just a bug. But it's very interesting, right? Do you want to see another slide?" + +Amy says, "Yes, please. Can I see the one with the hair?" + +Ben says, "Sure. But be careful, Amy. The slides are very thin and fragile. You have to hold them gently and put them back in the box when you are done." + +Amy says, "OK, Ben. I will be careful." She takes the slide with the hair and puts it under the microscope. She sees the hair's color, shape, and texture. She says, "This hair is very pretty. Is it yours, Ben?" + +Ben says, "No, Amy. It's not mine. It's my sister's. She has long, curly, brown hair. I asked her if I could have one of her hairs for my slide. She said yes, but only if I promise to keep it tidy and not lose it." + +Amy says, "That was nice of her, Ben. You have a good sister. And you are a good brother. You keep your slides tidy and you share them with me. Thank you, Ben." + +Ben says, "You're welcome, Amy. You are a good friend. You are curious and respectful. You like to learn new things and you listen to me. Thank you, Amy." + +They hug and smile. They look at more slides and have fun. They learn a lot from the microscope. They also learn to be tidy, careful, and grateful. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom has a blue car and Lily has a pink doll. They are having fun making noises and moving their toys around. + +"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast!" Tom says. + +"Hello, my doll is pretty!" Lily says. + +They are happy and they share their toys. But then, they hear a loud noise from outside. It sounds like a big truck. They stop playing and look at the window. + +"What is that?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Let's listen." Lily says. + +They listen to the noise. It is very loud and it makes them scared. They run to their mom, who is in the kitchen. They hug her and ask her a question. + +"Mom, what is that noise?" Tom and Lily ask. + +Mom smiles and hugs them back. She tells them a story. + +"That noise is from a fire truck. It is a big truck that helps people when there is a fire. The fire truck has a blue light and a loud siren. The siren tells other cars to move away and let the fire truck pass. The fire truck is going to a place where there is a fire and it will put out the fire with water. The fire truck is not scary, it is brave and helpful." Mom says. + +Tom and Lily listen to Mom's story. They feel better and they understand. They ask Mom more questions. + +"Can we see the fire truck?" Tom asks. + +"Can we play with the fire truck?" Lily asks. + +Mom laughs and says yes. She takes them to the window and shows them the fire truck. It is blue and red and shiny. It has a ladder and a hose. It is driving away and the siren is getting quieter. + +Tom and Lily wave to the fire truck. They say thank you to the fire truck. They say thank you to Mom. They go back to their toys and play. They are happy and they learn. +Tom was a little boy who liked to play in the park. He had a red ball that he threw and caught. He saw a big tree with green leaves and red apples. He wanted to pick an apple and eat it. + +He tried to reach the apples, but they were too high. He jumped and stretched, but he could not touch them. He felt helpless. He wanted an apple so much. + +He saw a girl who was sitting on a bench. She had a yellow dress and a blue hat. She was reading a book. Tom went to her and said, "Hello, can you help me? I want an apple from the tree, but I can't get it." + +The girl looked at him and smiled. She said, "Sure, I can help you. I have a ladder in my bag. I can give it to you. You can use it to climb the tree and pick an apple." + +Tom was happy. He said, "Thank you, you are very kind. What is your name?" + +The girl said, "My name is Lily. What is yours?" + +Tom said, "My name is Tom. Nice to meet you, Lily." + +Lily took out the ladder from her bag and gave it to Tom. Tom put the ladder against the tree and climbed up. He picked a big and juicy apple and came down. He gave the ladder back to Lily and said, "Here is your ladder. And here is an apple for you. You can have it. It is a gift from me." + +Lily took the apple and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very generous. This is a nice gift from you." + +Tom and Lily ate their apples and talked. They became friends. They played with the ball and the book. They had fun in the park. They helped each other and shared their things. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden.

They are red and sweet and crunchy. Can you reach one for me?" Lily said. + +Tom tried to climb the tree, but it was too high. He could not get any fruits. He jumped down and shrugged. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I can't get any fruits. They are too far away. Maybe we can ask Dad to help us later," he said. + +Lily was sad. She really wanted an apple. She looked around and saw a basket on the grass. It had some fruits in it. She ran to the basket and smiled. + +"Look, Tom, there are fruits here. Someone left them for us. Maybe it was Mom or Grandma. How jolly!" she said. + +She picked an apple and gave it to Tom. Then she took a pear for herself. They sat on the grass and ate the fruits. They were juicy and delicious. They thanked Mom and Grandma in their hearts. + +They heard a voice behind them. It was Dad. He had a big smile on his face. + +"Hello, Tom and Lily. I see you found the fruits I brought for you. Do you like them?" he asked. + +"Yes, Dad, we love them. Thank you very much. You are the best," they said. + +They hugged Dad and gave him a bite of their fruits. They were happy and full. They played some more in the garden until it was time to go inside. +Sam and Mia are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big rocket in the sky. It is very loud and bright. + +"Wow, look at that!" Sam says, pointing at the rocket. + +"What is it?" Mia asks, curious. + +"It is a rocket. It goes to space, where the stars are," mom explains. + +"Can we go to space too?" Sam wonders. + +"Maybe when you are older, you can be an astronaut and fly a rocket," dad says. + +Sam and Mia think that sounds fun. They want to see the stars and the moon and the planets. They want to see the earth from far away. + +The rocket gets smaller and smaller as it flies higher and higher. Sam and Mia wave at it, hoping the astronauts can see them. + +"Bye bye, rocket! Have a good trip!" they shout. + +"Be careful and come back soon!" mom adds. + +Dad looks at the sky and smiles. He is proud of the astronauts. He knows they have a serious job.

She ran away with it. + +The boy and the girl cried. They wanted their ball back. They ran after Lily. They saw a big dog. The dog was friendly and liked children. He saw the ball in Lily's hand.

They ran after it with their spear. The deer was fast and ran away. + +Sam and Tom followed the deer to a river. The deer jumped over the river and ran to the other side. Sam and Tom tried to jump too, but the river was too wide. They fell into the water. + +The water was cold and deep. Sam and Tom could not swim. They dropped their spear and tried to grab something. They saw a big log floating in the water. They kicked their legs and reached the log. + +But the log was not a log. It was a big crocodile. It had green scales and sharp teeth. It opened its mouth and bit Sam and Tom. They screamed and cried. The crocodile dragged them under the water. They never came back. + +The spear was still on the ground. It was not important anymore. +Lily and Sam were twins who liked to dream. Every night, they would tell each other what they dreamed about. Sometimes they dreamed of flying, sometimes of swimming, sometimes of being superheroes. + +One night, Lily dreamed of a nation where everyone was kind and happy.

She dreamed of seeing animals and flowers that she had never seen before, and learning new things. + +The next morning, she told Sam about her dream. But Sam did not like it. He said, "That is a silly dream. There is no such nation. Everyone is different and some are mean and some are sad. You cannot play with them. You can only play with me." + +Lily felt frustrated. She said, "No, you are wrong. My dream was not silly. It was beautiful. There is such a nation, and I want to go there. You can come with me, if you want. But you have to be kind and happy, too." + +Sam felt angry. He said, "No, I don't want to go there. I don't want to be kind and happy. I want to be strong and smart. I want to be the best.

But I will miss you, and I hope you will miss me, too." + +She hugged Sam, and then she left. She walked and walked, until she found a big rainbow.

He knew what it was. + +"It's a bear, Lily!" Ben said. "A big, hairy bear!" + +Lily gasped and felt scared. She did not like bears. They were big and scary and could bite. + +"Let's go, Ben!" Lily said. "We have to run away!" + +"OK, Lily!" Ben said. "But be careful, the mud is slippery and dirty!" + +They turned around and started to slide down the hill.

Soon, some people came to help the man and fix the fence. They were nice and told Lily and Ben that everything was okay. They asked them if they were hurt or scared.

They told them they were brave and they loved them. Lily and Ben felt better. They played with their toys and forgot about the automobile.

"This park is no fun." + +"But we came to travel and see new things," Jen says. "Maybe we can find something else to do." + +Tim thinks for a moment. He looks around and sees a big hill.

It is a very special worm." + +Lily was curious and asked, "How will it turn into a butterfly? Will it grow wings and fly?" + +Her mom explained, "It will make a cocoon around itself and stay inside for a while. Then it will come out as a beautiful butterfly with colorful wings. It is a big change, but it is part of its life." + +Lily nodded and said, "Wow, that is amazing! I want to see it happen!" + +Her mom said, "You can, but you have to be patient and careful. You can't touch the caterpillar or the cocoon, or you might hurt it. You have to let it do its own thing and wait for the right time." + +Lily agreed and said, "OK, mom. I will be patient and careful. I will watch the caterpillar every day and see what it does." + +She put the slide with the caterpillar back on the leaf and put it in a jar with some air holes and some more leaves.

They peeked out and saw the elephant eating some grass. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go and say hello to the elephant," Tom whispered. "He won't hurt us, he is just hungry." + +"OK, Tom, but be careful," Lily whispered back. They jogged slowly towards the elephant, hoping he would not notice them. + +But the elephant did notice them. He lifted his big head and saw the two little kids coming near him. He was not happy. He did not like strangers. He trumpeted loudly and shook his big ears. He stomped his big feet and swung his long trunk. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They realized they had made a mistake. They turned around and jogged back to dad as fast as they could. + +"Dad, dad, help!" they cried. "The elephant is angry!" + +Dad heard their cries and saw the elephant chasing them. He ran to them and hugged them. He was relieved they were safe. + +"Kids, what were you thinking?" he scolded. "You could have been hurt by the elephant! You were very naughty and disobeyed me. You should never go near a wild animal without permission. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, dad, we understand," Tom and Lily said. "We are sorry. We won't do it again." + +They looked at the elephant, who had stopped and was snorting. They felt sorry for him too. He must have been lonely and scared in the park. + +"Can we say sorry to the elephant, dad?" they asked. + +"Maybe later, kids," dad said. "But first, we have to let the zoo people take him back to his home. He will be happier there with his friends." + +They watched as the zoo people came with a big truck and a rope. They coaxed the elephant to get in the truck with some bananas. The elephant seemed to calm down and followed them. + +"Bye, elephant," Tom and Lily said. "We hope you have a good day." + +They waved to the elephant as the truck drove away. They learned their lesson and never jogged near a wild animal again. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big box full of cars, dolls, animals and blocks. One day, they found a new toy in the box. It was a shiny red button that said "Shrink". + +"What is this?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Let's press it and see what happens," Tom said. + +They pressed the button and suddenly felt very small. They looked around and saw that their toys were now huge. They were smaller than a mouse. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Tom said. "Let's explore the box and see what we can find." + +They climbed over the cars, dolls, animals and blocks. They had a lot of fun, but they also felt a little scared. They did not know how to get big again. + +"Tom, I want to go back to our normal size," Lily said. "This is too scary. What if we get lost or hurt?" + +"Don't worry, Lily. We just have to find the button and press it again. It can't be far," Tom said. + +They looked for the button, but they could not find it. It was buried under a pile of blocks. They did not know that their mom had cleaned the room and put the toys away. She did not see the button or the twins. + +"Tom, I can't find the button. Where is it?" Lily said. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it's under something. Let's keep looking," Tom said. + +They kept looking, but they only found more toys. They felt very tired and hungry. They wished they had not pressed the button. They wished they were back with their mom and dad. + +"Tom, I'm scared. It's getting dark. I don't like the dark. It gives me nightmares," Lily said. + +"Me too, Lily. Me too. Maybe we can find a place to sleep and wait for the morning. Maybe someone will find us and help us," Tom said. + +They found a small hole in the box and crawled inside. They hugged each other and tried to sleep. But they could not sleep. They heard strange noises and saw scary shadows. They had nightmares about big monsters and bad people. They cried and wished they could wake up. + +But they did not wake up. They stayed small and trapped in the box. No one found them or helped them. They had a bad ending. +Lily wanted to mail a letter to her grandma. She drew a picture of her and her cat, and wrote "I love you" with her crayons. She asked her mom for a stamp and an envelope. + +"Mom, can I mail my letter now?" Lily said. + +"Not now, sweetie. We have to wait until tomorrow. The mailman only comes once a day," Mom said. + +"But I want to mail it now!" Lily said. She was persistent. She did not like to wait. + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. "I know you are excited, but you have to be patient. Why don't you put your letter in the cabinet for now, and we can mail it tomorrow?" + +Lily frowned. She did not want to put her letter in the cabinet. She wanted to mail it right away. She thought of a plan. She waited until Mom was busy in the kitchen, and then she took her letter and ran outside. She saw the big blue box on the corner. She knew that was where the mail went. She climbed on a rock and reached for the slot. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" a voice said. Lily turned and saw the mailman. He was holding a big bag of letters. + +"I want to mail my letter to grandma," Lily said. She showed him her envelope. + +The mailman smiled. He took Lily's letter and put it in his bag. "That's very nice of you, Lily. I'm sure your grandma will love it. But you shouldn't run outside by yourself. It's not safe. Where is your mom?" + +Lily felt guilty. She knew she did something wrong. She ran back to the house and found Mom. + +"Mom, I'm sorry. I mailed my letter to grandma. I didn't wait for you," Lily said. + +Mom looked surprised. She saw the mailman waving at her from the street. She understood what happened. She was not angry, but she was worried. + +"Lily, I'm glad you mailed your letter, but you can't go outside without me. You could get hurt or lost. You have to listen to me, okay?" Mom said. + +Lily nodded. She hugged Mom and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I love you." + +Mom hugged Lily back and said, "I love you too, Lily. And I'm sure grandma will love your letter." +Lily and Tom were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. Mom and dad told them to stay close and not go too far. + +One day, they saw a big boat with a sign that said "Shark Tour". It looked fun and exciting. They asked mom and dad if they could go on the boat. Mom and dad said yes, but they had to pay some money. The boat man said it was very cheap, only five dollars for each person. Mom and dad thought it was a good deal, so they gave him the money and got on the boat. + +The boat man took them to a place where there were many sharks. He said they were friendly and harmless. He gave them some fish to feed the sharks. Lily and Tom were scared, but they wanted to try. They threw some fish into the water and watched the sharks come closer. They saw their big teeth and fins. They felt a thrill and a chill. + +Then, something bad happened. One of the sharks jumped out of the water and bit the boat. The boat made a loud noise and started to sink. The boat man screamed and ran to the other side. Mom and dad screamed and hugged Lily and Tom. Lily and Tom screamed and cried. They were very afraid. + +They saw another boat nearby. It was bigger and nicer. It had a sign that said "Shark Rescue". It came to help them. It threw them a rope and pulled them up. They were safe and sound. They thanked the people on the boat. They said they were sorry for the trouble. The people on the boat said it was not their fault. They said the boat man was a liar and a thief. He used a cheap and broken boat to trick people and take their money. He did not care about the sharks or the people. He was a bad man. + +Lily and Tom learned a lesson. They learned that not everything that looks fun and exciting is good and safe. They learned that some people are not honest and kind. They learned that they should always listen to mom and dad. They were happy to be with their family. They never wanted to see a shark again. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the yard. One day, they saw a big white bird in the sky. It was a dove. + +"Look, Tom, a dove!" Sam said. "Maybe it has a message for us." + +"Let's catch it and see," Tom said. They ran after the dove, but it was too fast. It flew away. + +They followed the dove to the woods. There, they saw a small house. It was made of gold. The dove landed on the roof. + +"Wow, a gold house!" Tom said. "Let's go inside and find the message." + +They knocked on the door, but no one answered. They opened the door and went in. The house was full of gold things. There were gold chairs, gold tables, gold cups, gold coins, and gold jewels. + +"Look at all this gold!" Sam said. "We are rich!" + +They started to grab the gold things and put them in their pockets. They did not see the old man who lived in the house. He was hiding behind a curtain. He was angry. + +"Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" he shouted. He came out with a stick. He hit Tom and Sam with the stick. They cried and dropped the gold things. + +"Please, don't hurt us!" Tom said. "We are sorry. We just wanted to see the message from the dove." + +"What message?" the old man said. "The dove is mine. I send it to get food for me. You are thieves. You stole my gold. I will call the police." + +He took a phone and dialed a number. He told the police to come and get Tom and Sam. They were scared. They wished they had never followed the dove. They wished they had stayed in the yard. They had a bad ending. +Mira and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see many flowers in the park. Some flowers are big and some are small. Some are red and some are yellow. + +"Look, Ben, this flower is blooming!" Mira says. She points to a flower that has many petals. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is pretty, Mira. But it is also hard," Ben says. He touches the flower. "It is not soft like the other flowers. It is hard like a rock." + +"Why is it hard, Ben?" Mira asks. She is curious. + +"I don't know, Mira. Maybe it is hard because it needs more water. Or maybe it is hard because it likes the sun. Or maybe it is hard because it is strong," Ben says. He is not sure. + +"Maybe we can help it, Ben. Maybe we can give it some water. Or maybe we can find some shade for it. Or maybe we can tell it that it is beautiful," Mira says. She is kind. + +"OK, Mira. Let's do that. Let's help the hard flower," Ben says. He is happy. + +They get some water from the fountain. They pour some water on the hard flower. They look for some shade under a tree. They move the hard flower to the shade. They say nice words to the hard flower. + +"Hello, hard flower. You are blooming. You are pretty. You are strong. We like you. We are your friends," they say. + +The hard flower hears them. It feels happy. It feels soft. It smiles. It thanks them. + +"Hello, Mira and Ben. You are kind. You are helpful. You are my friends. Thank you for the water. Thank you for the shade. Thank you for the words. You make me happy. You make me soft. You make me smile," it says. + +Mira and Ben are surprised. They did not know that the hard flower can talk. They are glad. They hug the hard flower. They play with the hard flower. They are friends. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big swamp near their house. They wanted to explore it and see what animals lived there. + +They put on their boots and walked into the swamp. They saw frogs, fish, and bugs. They also heard loud noises from the birds and the wind. They thought it was fun and exciting. + +"Look, Sue, a big log!" Tom said. "Let's climb on it and pretend it's a boat." + +"OK, Tom, that sounds like fun," Sue said. They climbed on the log and pretended to sail across the swamp. + +But the log was not a log. It was a crocodile. It opened its eyes and saw the children on its back. It was angry and hungry. It snapped its jaws and shook its body. + +Tom and Sue screamed and fell off the crocodile. They ran back to the shore as fast as they could. They were scared and wet and muddy. + +They reached their house and knocked on the door. Their mom opened it and saw them. She was shocked and worried. + +"What happened to you?" she asked. "Why are you so dirty and wet?" + +Tom and Sue told her what happened. They said they were sorry for going to the swamp without asking. They said they learned their lesson. + +Their mom hugged them and said she was glad they were safe. She said they should never go to the swamp again. She said it was dangerous and full of wild animals. She said they should always listen to her and stay away from trouble. + +She took them inside and helped them wipe off the mud and water. She gave them clean clothes and warm soup. She said she loved them and they should always be careful. + +Tom and Sue said they loved her too. They said they would never go to the swamp again. They said they would always listen to her and stay away from trouble. They said they were sorry for making her worry. + +They ate their soup and cuddled with their mom. They felt happy and safe. They learned their lesson. +Sam liked to watch his dad work on the big yellow machine. The machine had wheels and a long arm with a bucket. Dad used the machine to dig holes and move dirt. Sam wanted to work on the machine too, but dad said it was too dangerous. + +One day, dad had to go to the store to get some tools. He told Sam to stay away from the machine and play with his toys. But Sam was curious. He climbed on the machine and looked at the buttons and levers. He wondered what they did. He pushed one of the buttons and the machine made a loud noise. He pulled one of the levers and the arm moved. He felt excited and scared. + +"Sam, what are you doing?" dad shouted as he came back from the store. He saw Sam on the machine and ran to him. He was angry and worried. He grabbed Sam and took him off the machine. He hugged him and said, "Sam, you could have been hurt. The machine is not a toy. It is very powerful and dangerous. You have to listen to me and never touch it again. Do you understand?" + +Sam nodded and said, "I'm sorry, dad. I just wanted to work like you. The machine is so cool and yellow." + +Dad smiled and said, "I know, son. I'm glad you like the machine. But you have to wait until you are older and learn how to use it safely. For now, you can help me with other things, like cleaning the tools or planting the seeds. How does that sound?" + +Sam smiled and said, "That sounds good, dad. I love you." + +Dad said, "I love you too, Sam. Now let's go and work together." +Sara was very happy today. She had a new friend at school. His name was Tom. He liked to draw and play with cars. Sara liked to draw and play with dolls. + +At lunch time, Sara wanted to show Tom her favorite image. It was a big picture of a rainbow that she had made with crayons. She took it out of her backpack and said, "Look, Tom, this is my image. I made it yesterday. Do you like it?" + +Tom looked at the image and smiled. He said, "Wow, Sara, your image is very pretty. I like the colors. Can I show you my image too?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, please. I want to see your image." + +Tom took out his image from his backpack. It was a big picture of a rocket that he had made with stickers. He said, "Look, Sara, this is my image. I made it this morning. Do you like it?" + +Sara looked at the image and clapped. She said, "Wow, Tom, your image is very cool. I like the stickers. Can we trade images?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, sure. I like your image too. Let's trade images." + +Sara and Tom traded images and hugged. They were very happy. They had new images and new friends. They decided to introduce each other to their other friends and play together. They had a lot of fun. +Tom and Sue are friends. They go to school together. They like to play and learn. But today, they have a big test. They need to study hard. + +Tom says, "Sue, let's study together. We can help each other. We can ask and answer questions. We can be smart." + +Sue says, "OK, Tom. That sounds good. Let's go to your house. We can use your books and crayons." + +They go to Tom's house. They sit on the floor. They open their books. They look at the pictures and words. They study. + +But then, Tom's big brother comes in. He is mean. He does not like Tom and Sue. He says, "What are you doing, you weak babies? You think you can pass the test? You are so dumb. You don't know anything. Give me your books and crayons. I will show you how to study." + +He grabs their books and crayons. He tears the pages. He breaks the crayons. He throws them on the floor. He laughs. + +Tom and Sue are sad. They cry. They say, "Stop, stop, stop. You are bad. You are mean. You are not nice. Give us back our books and crayons. We need them to study. We want to pass the test." + +But Tom's big brother does not listen. He does not care. He says, "No, no, no. You don't need them. You don't deserve them. You are weak. You are losers. You will fail the test. Ha, ha, ha." + +He runs away. He leaves Tom and Sue alone. They look at their books and crayons. They are ruined. They cannot study. They are scared. They think they will fail the test. They hug each other. They wish they had a better friend. They wish they had a better brother. They wish they had a better day. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, their mom made a big pie with apples and cinnamon. She put it on the window to cool down and told the twins not to touch it. + +Lily and Ben smelled the pie and wanted to taste it. They looked around and saw that mom was busy in the kitchen. They tiptoed to the window and reached for the pie. But before they could grab it, they heard a loud bark. + +It was Rex, their dog, who was lying under the window. He saw the twins trying to take the pie and he wanted to protect it. He jumped up and barked at them, making them jump back and drop the pie. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "The pie is ruined!" + +"Rex, bad dog!" Ben scolded. "You scared us!" + +Mom heard the noise and came out of the kitchen. She saw the pie on the ground and the twins and the dog looking guilty. + +"What happened here?" she asked. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and decided to tell the truth. + +"Mom, we're sorry. We wanted to try the pie, but Rex barked at us and we dropped it. He was trying to protect the pie, but he made a mess." + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She was not happy, but she was not angry either. She knew that the twins and the dog loved the pie and did not mean to spoil it. + +"It's okay, my loves. I'm glad you told me the truth. But next time, please listen to me and wait until the pie is ready. And Rex, you're a good dog, but you don't need to protect the pie from your family. Come on, let's clean up this mess and make a new pie together. And this time, we'll all share it." + +Lily and Ben nodded and hugged mom. They said sorry to Rex and petted him. Rex wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was happy to be forgiven and to have a new chance to taste the pie. They all went inside and helped mom make a new pie. They were quiet and careful, and they waited until the pie was cool enough to eat. Then they enjoyed the pie together, and it was delicious. +Tom was a little bird who lived in a cage. He liked his cage, because it had food, water, toys and a mirror. He liked to sing to himself and look at his reflection. But sometimes he felt lonely, because he had no friends to talk to or play with. + +One day, a big storm came. The wind blew hard and the rain poured down. Tom was scared, because he heard loud noises and saw flashes of light. He hid in his cage and shivered. He wished he had someone to comfort him and make him feel safe. + +Then he heard a knock on the window. He looked up and saw another bird, who was wet and cold. The bird was trying to get in, but the window was closed. Tom felt sorry for the bird, who looked like him but had different colors. He wanted to help the bird, but he did not know how. + +He remembered that his cage had a door, which he could open with his beak. He flew to the door and pushed it with his beak. It opened, and he flew out of the cage. He went to the window and tapped on it with his beak. He hoped that someone would hear him and open the window. + +He was lucky, because his owner was home. She heard the noise and saw Tom and the other bird. She opened the window and let the other bird in. She dried the bird with a towel and put him in the cage with Tom. She gave them some seeds and water and smiled. + +Tom was happy, because he had a new friend. He shared his food, water, toys and mirror with the other bird. He sang to him and listened to him. He comforted him and made him feel safe. The other bird was happy, too, because he had a new home. He thanked Tom and hugged him. They were not lonely anymore. + +The storm passed, and the sun came out. Tom and the other bird looked out of the window and saw a rainbow. They felt lucky, because they had each other. They were not ordinary birds, they were special birds. They were friends. +Lily was a compassionate girl who liked to help others. She often visited her grandma, who lived in a big house with many rooms. Grandma was very old and sometimes forgot things, so Lily would lead her to the kitchen or the garden or the library. + +One day, Lily found an envelope on the floor of the library. It was white and had a red stamp on it. Lily was curious and picked it up. She saw that it had grandma's name on it, but no address. She wondered who sent it and what was inside. + +She decided to ask grandma about it. She looked for her in the house, but she could not find her. She remembered that grandma liked to sit on the porch and watch the birds. She ran outside and saw grandma on a rocking chair, holding a book. + +"Grandma, look what I found!" Lily said, showing her the envelope. + +Grandma smiled and took the envelope from Lily. She opened it and pulled out a letter. She read it and her eyes filled with tears. + +"Oh, Lily, this is from your grandpa. He wrote it to me before he went to heaven. He said he loved me and he was proud of you. He said he would always watch over us and send us his blessings." + +Lily hugged grandma and said, "I love you, grandma. And I love grandpa too. He was very kind and brave." + +Grandma hugged Lily back and said, "Yes, he was. And so are you, my dear. Thank you for finding this envelope. It means a lot to me. It was a wonderful surprise." + +They sat on the porch and talked about grandpa and his stories. They felt his presence and his love. They were happy and grateful. +One day, a fat seal was lying on a big rock near the sea. He liked to sun himself and eat fish all day. He did not like to swim or play with the other seals. He thought he was better than them because he was bigger and stronger. + +But the other seals did not like the fat seal. They thought he was lazy and greedy. They did not want to share their fish or their rock with him. They tried to make him go away, but he did not listen. He just snorted and snapped at them. + +One day, a big wave came and knocked the fat seal off the rock. He fell into the water and splashed around. He was scared and cold. He did not know how to swim well. He called for help, but the other seals did not come. They were angry and happy to see him in trouble. + +Then, he saw a big shark coming. The shark had sharp teeth and hungry eyes. The fat seal was very afraid. He wished he had been nicer to the other seals. He wished he had learned to swim and play with them. He wished he had a friend to help him. + +But it was too late. The shark came closer and closer. The fat seal closed his eyes and waited for the end. + +The moral of the story is: be kind and share with others, or you might end up alone and in danger. +Once there was a bear who liked to walk. One day, the bear went for a walk in the forest. As the bear was walking, it noticed that the forest was very messy. There were leaves and twigs all over the ground. The bear kept walking and it noticed something special. It was a small, yellow flower growing in the middle of all of the mess. The bear stopped and looked at the flower. It was so beautiful! The bear smiled, then kept walking until it got tired. Then it curled up and went to sleep. The end. +Lily was a very tired girl and she wanted to go on a trip. She found her luggage and started to dress herself like she saw her mom do. She put on her shirt, then her skirt and some shoes. She was so proud of herself and ready to go. + +When she was done, she smiled and picked up her luggage. She walked out of the door and said, "Goodbye house!" She heard her mom say, "Don't forget to be safe and have fun!" + +So off she went with her luggage in hand. Soon enough she was on her way to her exciting trip. She was so happy and felt very proud of what she had done. She had dressed herself all by herself. +Once there was a little girl who wanted to visit the zoo. She was very excited, she put on her mitten and ran outside. On the way to the zoo she stopped and tasted the delicious ice cream. She smiled and said, "Yummy!" + +When she arrived at the zoo, she saw the animals and said hello to them. She saw the lions, tigers and monkeys. She laughed and played with them, they seemed so friendly! + +The little girl spent the whole day at the zoo and she was so happy. She took a ride in the hot air balloon and saw the city from the sky. + +When she arrived back home, she felt so tired. She had had a lot of fun and was full of the delicious ice cream too. She was happy that she had gone to visit the zoo. +One day, there was a little boy called Jack who was very eager to do something special. He asked his mummy and daddy what he could do, but they said he was too small to do anything. + +Jack was sad, until he had an idea. He asked his mummy and daddy if he could add something to the sky. His mummy and daddy said that he could buy some special pieces of paper called kites and fly them in the sky. + +Jack was so excited. So, he hurried to the shop with his mummy and daddy and bought lots of kites. + +When they got home, Jack eagerly ran outside. He carefully put the kite together and ran to the park. He threw the kite up in the air and the bright coloured kite flew up up into the sky. + +Jack laughed with delight. He had added something special to the sky! +One day, there was a little jar. It was so small that it could be held in the palm of your hand. Inside the jar was a tiny bug. The bug wanted to be free, so it decided to escape. + +The bug climbed around the edges of the jar, trying to find a way out. After a few minutes, it managed to push the lid off the jar and escape. You could barely see it as it scurried away, it was that little! + +The bug ran out of the room and into the garden. It jumped from flower to flower and ran around in the warm sunshine. It was so happy and free! + +The next day, the bug found a nice, big jar and moved into it. It had escaped from its old, little jar and was so excited about its new life. + +The bug happily stayed in the big jar and never looked back, enjoying its newfound freedom. +Once there was a dog called Spot. Spot was very curious and he loved to explore! He followed a smelly scent one day and it led him to a hole in the ground. Spot stuck his nose in the hole and sniffed around. It smelled very smelly and he was curious to know what was inside. + +Spot tried to cover the hole with his paws but it was too big. He ran back to his home and asked his human what to do. His human grabbed a blanket and covered the hole with the blanket. Now Spot couldn't smell the smelly scent anymore. + +Spot and his human watched the blanket for a few minutes. Suddenly, something under the blanket started to move. Spot was very scared and he ran away! But his human stayed brave and lifted up the blanket. + +It was a cute little baby skunk! Spot and his human were so happy that it wasn't something scary. Spot watched as his human gently moved the baby skunk to a safer place. Spot was glad that the hole was now safely covered. +Once upon a time there was a mommy and a daddy. They had a little boy named Timmy. Timmy was very kind to everyone. He liked to play games and learn new things. + +One day, when Timmy was playing with his toys, he decided to try and do some math. He counted his fingers and his toes and did some simple adding and subtracting. But he couldn't remember all the numbers and started to lose the game. + +Timmy started to feel sad but his mommy was there to help. She was very kind and told Timmy not to worry. She said that sometimes people lose at math and it's ok. She said that with practice, Timmy would get better at math. + +Timmy thanked his mommy for being so kind and they hugged. Then they quickly got back to playing the math game and, before they knew it, Timmy was doing math better than ever before! + +The end. +Once there was a little girl called Lucy. She had long blonde hair and loved to explore. One day she found an old key. She wondered where it fit. + +So she went on an adventure. She thought the key might fit in a big door. But the key was too small. The door didn't open. + +Then Lucy thought the key might fit in a box. She tried the key, but it was too big. The box didn't open either. + +Lucy was getting frustrated. Then she had an idea. She thought the key might fit in a bottle. She put the key in the bottle and it fit! + +When she opened the bottle, there was a spicy surprise inside. Lucy smiled and wondered who had put the key and the spicy surprise in the bottle. She went on another adventure to find out! +One day, Mommy was going to the store. She filled her bag with money and passed a piece of candy to Jimmy, her three-year-old. He was so excited! He started eating it as they drove down the street. + +Jimmy tasted the candy and made a sour face. It was too sour for him! He looked to his mommy, who said, "No more candy for now Jimmy". Disappointed, Jimmy put the piece of candy away and the mommy said, "We're here now, so let's fill up the car with gas before going inside the store". + +Jimmy smiled. He loved watching the car fill up with gas. It was like a magic show – watching the numbers go higher and higher. After the car was filled, his mommy went inside to pick up a few things and Jimmy went to the play area. + +He smiled and started playing with a few toys. Mommy soon came out with a bag full of goodies and they drove back home. Jimmy was happy – he had a full belly and a nice car ride. +Once upon a time, there was a mighty song. It was so loud and powerful that it could be heard all across the land. Everyone loved to listen to it, and it brought joy and happiness to all. + +One day, something changed. The mighty song suddenly began to be heard as two different songs. It was as if the song was being split in two. It was no longer one single mighty song, but two separate ones. + +People in the land were so confused. They couldn't understand how two different songs were coming from the same source. Some were sad, while others were excited. + +But soon, people found out the secret. There were two birds, chirping together to create the one mighty song.
