Mommy suggested they hurry up, as she wanted to finish the errands before dinner. As they walked, Mommy pointed to the sky and said, "Look, Max! Look at how the clouds change shape." Max was so excited and looked up at the sky with amazement. + +They eventually reached their destination, a store that sold shoes. Mommy and Max stepped inside, and Mommy pointed to a pair of blue shoes with a buckle. She suggested that it would look great on him. Max, who really liked the shoes, agreed to try them on. + +Mommy comforted Max as he struggled to buckle his shoes. She was gentle and encouraged Max to keep trying.

We can wave at him." + +Freddy knew that Meg was right. He waved at the dog and he stopped barking.

The lizard said that he had been playing in the garbage and it was very dirty and smelly. + +Timmy was mad. He said it was wrong to be in the garbage and it was dangerous. He said the lizard should find better places like the garden to play. + +The lizard was surprised.

Max and Ben were frightened and they ran away. + +When they were gone, the cat caught the lively bird and ate it up. + +Max and Ben were sad to learn that their friend the bird was gone.

It was like a treasure hunt, with Justin helping Jack to find pieces of cheese. In the end, Jack found all the cheese and won the game! + +Jack was so excited and thanked Justin for introducing him to the game. Justin said he was happy to, and that they could play again sometime.

She was so thrilled to have a new toy to play with! +Once upon a time, there was an honest beetle called Joe. Joe wanted to explore the world and find new friends. + +So one day Joe set off on an adventure. He crawled from place to place and soon found himself in an unfamiliar field. In the distance Joe heard a voice, so he crawled closer. It was an old lady tending to her garden. + +The old lady noticed Joe and bent down. She smiled and said, "Hello, little beetle. Where are you off to?" Joe replied, "I'm looking for new friends. Can you help me?" + +The old lady thought for a moment and then pointed to the beetroot patch. She said, "Meet my friend Betty. She lives in the beetroot patch and she's honest like you. I'm sure you two will get along well". + +Joe thanked the old lady, waved goodbye, and set off across the garden. He arrived at the beetroot patch and, sure enough, there was Betty the beetle waiting for him. They talked and laughed, and soon became the best of friends! +John was very excited! He was going to build something special with his new blue yarn. He spent hours gathering the yarn and carefully crafting the project. + +John grinned as he held the beautiful blue gift he had built.

He was feeling scared and lonely. + +Finally, John stumbled across an old house. He decided to knock on the door and ask for help, but no one answered. He peered through a small window and saw a lot of blue yarn inside. His heart leapt with excitement! + +But when he tried to enter the house, John realized the door was locked. He was stuck outside, unable to get his blue yarn or help. He was sad and angry.

They were playing in the park and having lots of fun. + +One day, the two friends began to fight. Sarah wanted the red mint, but Matt wanted it too. Sarah was anxious that Matt would take it away so she grabbed it first. + +Matt was very mad and started to yell. He grabbed the red mint away from Sarah, and she started to cry. + +Both Sarah and Matt felt bad about what happened. They decided to work together to get more red mints from the store. That way, they could share the mints and not fight. + +The two friends went off to buy more red mints. They came back very quickly, and shared the mints together. Sarah and Matt were both happy, and never fought again. +Mama and baby brother were walking to the park. "Look, Mama," baby brother said pointing at the big post. "Do you think it is as tall as me?"

As she sat there wondering what was wrong, she couldn't help but feel a bit of sadness building up in her heart. + +The little girl started to weep.

All the animals around noticed it, and whispered of something special that was going to happen. + +As the day went on and night fell, the bush started to shimmer brightly. All the animals stopped to watch. Suddenly, the bush glowed so brightly that it vanished. At first, all the animals were surprised, but then they remembered the whispers and cheered and sang with joy. + +What had happened was that the bush had a special power - when it was exposed to the light of the moon, it disappeared. The animals had heard about it, but it still amazed them when they saw it with their own eyes. However, even though the bush had vanished, the feeling of joy and hope remained in the garden. +Once upon a time there was a lady who was very foolish.

She ran around, looking around the trees and the flowers. + +Suddenly, she spotted something green between the trees. Amy ran to it and saw it was a big herb plant. She was so excited to have found it and wanted to pick it, but the herb spoke to her and asked her not to. Amy was very surprised, for she had never seen a talking herb before. + +The herb said that it was special and needed to stay in the wild, so it could be safe.

But no one seemed to know the answer. + +One day, a three year old walked into the square. Everyone was surprised to see her and stopped to watch as she began to rock the square. With a few twists, stretches and hops, the square began to rock. The people cheered and clapped. + +The three year old taught the people a valuable lesson that day. Even when something seems stuck in one place, you can use your creative thinking to make things happen. No matter what the problem, it can be solved, as long as you don't give up. +Sam was an adventurous boy. He loved to explore new places and learn about the world around him.

He ran faster, jumped higher and worked harder than ever before. He wanted to show everyone who was the strongest bull. + +But no matter how hard Ben tried, he could not become stronger than the new bull. He was disappointed and felt sad. He felt like he had failed. + +But then he heard some wise words, "you don't have to be the strongest to be special. Just be true to yourself, work hard and be kind to others." + +Ben realised that it was alright to be different. He decided to be a kind and hardworking bull. He was happy and content. + +The moral of the story is that it is alright to be different and it is important to stay true to yourself. +One day, there was a man and he had a big tie. It was very filthy because the man had been spraying dirty water. He tried to wash the tie but it didn't seem to help.

She wanted to use her dancing to make people happy, not expensive things. + +So Lucy decided to dance her best and to always keep in mind what belonged to her.

What really matters is the gifts you share with others. +Once upon a time there was a fat cow. She lived in a big, green pasture. One day while she was eating grass she heard her friend, the sheep, give a sharp cry.

She galloped to the front of the pasture, her fat bell jingling with each step. When she got to the front of the pasture she put her head down and gave a sharp moo. + +The dog was so scared he ran away yelping. The cow came back to the pasture and said to the sheep: "You're safe now, the dog is gone!" + +The sheep said: "Thank you, fat cow!"

That'll help your itch go away.†+ +Jack tried and when he was done he felt better. He was so happy that he clapped even harder! + +Jill said, “Thank you for giving it a try. That was very smart.†+ +The moral of this story is to try things that you don't think will work out and you might be surprised by how well it works out. Being intelligent means being willing to go outside your comfort zone and try something different. +Once upon a time there was a nosy bunny. He was always looking around to see what was going on. + +One day he saw a group of fairies near a special tree. He was curious, so he hopped closer to see what was going on. + +The fairies were busy creating something very special. They were making a big diamond! They had collected colorful pieces of sparkle from the tree, and were putting them together to make a beautiful diamond. + +The nosy bunny's eyes lit up when he saw the finished diamond. It was so shiny and sparkly. The fairies saw him and quickly flew away with the diamond. + +The bunny was sad that the fairies took his diamond.

The three children were scared and they shook their heads. + +The bad man was not happy. He said, "If you don't come with me I will make it even worse for you." But the children still said no. + +Then the bad man made a plan. He said, "I will put you on a big stage and then I will lead people to make you do bad things. What do you think of that?" + +At first, the children were scared, but then they were brave and they said, "No, we don't want to do that." + +The bad man was very angry and he stomped away. The children were happy that he left and they went back to playing, knowing that they had been brave and saved themselves. +John went to the barber with his mom. John was a bit scared because it was his first time at the barber. + +The barber was very thoughtful. He asked John questions to help him feel more relaxed. + +John was still unsure, but the barber had a plan. He gave John a cape and told him to pretend he was a superhero. + +John felt his fear go away. He said "I'm Captain Awesome!" + +The barber smiled. He said, "Let's strike a super hero pose!" + +John struck a strong, brave pose, and the barber started cutting his hair. + +John felt very brave and proud. He couldn't believe he'd been so fearless in the barber's chair. + +John's mom was amazed.

He knew that he couldn't swim so he paused and thought about what to do. + +Suddenly, a kind beaver swam over to help him. The beaver told the bunny not to worry, for he had an idea. He gave the bunny a big stick, and together they made a bridge across the pond. The bunny was very lucky to have found a new friend to help him out. + +He crossed to the other side of the pond and could see more of the world. He came to many new places and saw lots of amazing things. Even through difficult times, the bunny reminded himself of how lucky he was to have a best friend who helped him along the way. + +The moral of the story is that when faced with difficult times or challenges, we should remember the good things that we have and the people who helped us. We'll be much luckier if we have somebody to be with when facing life's obstacles. +Once, there was a big daisy that was growing in a field. One day, a little boy named Davey wanted to pick the daisy and take it home. When he bent down to pick it, a friendly voice said from behind "You must pay for the daisy." Davey was scared and he jumped up. When he turned to see who was speaking, he saw an old man. The old man smiled kindly at Davey and said "If you want to pick the daisy, you must pay for it. Like everything else in this world, you need to give something to get something back." + +Davey thought about what the old man said and said "OK, but how can I pay for the daisy? I don't have any money." + +The old man smiled kindly at Davey again and said "You can give the daisy a hug before you pick it. That's the best way to pay for it." + +So Davey gave the daisy a big hug and then carefully picked it. + +The moral of the story is that happiness doesn't have a price tag and that we don't always have to pay with money for the things we want in this world. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was excited for her very first trip away from home. She couldn't wait for the day to finally arrive! + +The day came and the little girl packed her suitcase with her favourite things. Then, she and her family drove to the place she was going to stay.

She ran around, looking at the colourful flowers and exploring the garden. There was so much to do! + +At the end of the day, the little girl was very tired from all her exploring.

Lily started to shiver and the guard wrapped his coat around her to keep her warm. Then Lily said, “Let’s tell stories!†+ +So they spent the rest of the afternoon telling stories. The guard told her stories of bravery and courage while Lily told stories of kindness and friendship. + +When it was time to go home, Lily remembered the kind thing the guard did for her and said to him, “I’ll always be grateful to you, Guard. You showed me that a friend looks out for and helps another, even when it’s cold outside.†+ +The guard smiled and said, “A true friend is always ready to lend a hand when needed.†+Once upon a time, there was a wealthy bee who lived in a hive. She was always very busy sorting things out in her hive. Whether it was cleaning, cooking, or looking after others, she did it all! + +One day, the bee needed to sort out her food store. She was very proud of the delicious honey she kept in her storeroom. She flew from flower to flower collecting all the pollen and nectar that she could. + +When she had finished sorting her food store, the bee returned to the hive. She was so proud of the hard work she had done.

I am the boss!" +Tom said nothing. + +Charlie was determined to show Tom just how bossy he was and he ran after the jeep. Tom followed him, not sure what he was up to. + +The jeep stopped at the other end of the park and Charlie and Tom walked up to it. As they approached, they saw it was a policeman in the jeep. A sly smile appeared on Charlie's face and he begged the policeman for a ride in his jeep. + +Tom was embarrassed. He was sure the policeman would say no and he was embarrassed for asking. + +But to Tom's surprise, the policeman smiled and boosted Charlie up into the jeep.

She asked her friend, "What is that?" + +Michael replied, "It's a fan. It moves around to keep us cool." + +Mary observed the fan spinning around and around. She asked, "Can I try turning it on?" + +Michael said, "Let's ask Daddy. I think he's ready to show us how it works now." + +So the two friends went and asked their Daddy. He smiled and said, "Sure, I can show you how it works." So Daddy turned on the fan and showed Mary and Michael how it worked. + +The two friends watched as the fan spun around faster and faster. Mary asked, "Can I try?" Daddy said, "Sure, here you go." + +Mary reached out and gave the fan a gentle push. It spun around and around.

Everyone admired Rex's beautiful garden and were very happy for him. + +Rex's neighbor, a cat named Tom, was jealous of the garden. He grumbled to himself, "I wish I had a garden like that!" He walked up to Rex to ask him how he made it. Rex proudly explained that he planted the herbs and showed Tom how to do it. + +Tom was really happy with what Rex showed him. He went home to try it out. After a few hours, he had finished planting his own herb garden. Tom was so proud of what he had done and he ran to Rex's home to show him.

Daisy said. + +Mummy frowned. "That doesn't sound safe, Daisy. I don't think you should touch it." + +But Daisy didn't listen and she went ahead and touched the task. Suddenly, the task started to get bigger and bigger and it wrapped around Daisy's body. Daisy tried to scream for help, but it was too late. The task swallowed Daisy whole! + +Mummy was sad and started to cry. She knew the task was too dangerous and Daisy should never have gone near it. +Once upon a time, Mama was playing her drum. She was having so much fun as she tapped her drumsticks and made different beats. + +Mama's little girl came up to her. "Mama, can I play too?" she asked. + +Mama smiled. "Yes, of course you can! Let's lay your drum down." + +Mama's little girl carefully laid the drum down and then looked up at Mama.

You aren't allowed to catch it because it isn't yours." + +The less famous cat was sad but listened to the famous cat. + +The next day, the famous cat saw the same flea, and he wanted to catch it too. But the less famous cat said, "No! You can't have it because it isn't yours." + +The famous cat realised that it wasn't nice to do something that he wouldn't allow another to do, so he decided to let the flea go. + +The moral of this story is that it's not fair to not allow others to do something that you yourself are allowed to do. Just because we are more famous or powerful, it doesn't give us the right to do something that we wouldn't allow someone else to do. Respect for others is key! +Once upon a time there was a purple elephant. He wanted to go for a walk in the park, but he couldn't because he didn't have a foot.

Eventually the two of them were worn out but happy. +"That was so much fun!" said Fiona. +"It was really fair!" agreed Harry. +Once upon a time, there was a little heel.

I found some gold!" She showed her mom the golden coin, and her mom was so happy for her. + +Mia kept the gold coin hidden in her room and would take it out for special occasions. She was always so proud and happy when she had the gold coin with her. + +The End +Jack and Jill were walking down the street. Jack said to Jill, “That smell is so sour.

Clever Panda had no choice but to call out, 'Stop! Don't run, the bee is gone!' Stubborn Panda listened and stopped in his tracks. + +The moral of the story is to always listen to each other before making decisions. Be stubborn if you must, but be willing to listen to other people's ideas. +Once upon a time there was a bird called Tiny. She liked flying around and having fun. + +One day when she was flying, she saw a lovely movie theatre.

You’ve been rolling in poisonous plants!†+ +The squirrel didn’t know what to do. So he ran away, but he promised to never go in the rabbit’s garden again. He will be very careful not to come into contact with poisonous plants anymore. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lilly. Lilly was very shy, and she loved playing in the park with her friends. + +One day, her mommy brought her a special alarm. It was a big, round alarm with lots of colourful buttons. Lilly was so excited about it! + +She quickly set it up in her bedroom, and then she showed it to her mommy and friends. Her friends were all very impressed, and they wanted to press the buttons to see what noises it could make. + +Lilly was still a bit shy, so she held tightly onto the alarm as they all took turns pressing the buttons. It made lots of different noises, and Lilly giggled with joy. + +She thanked her mummy for bringing her such a special alarm. From that day on, it was her best friend. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Emma who lived on a farm. Every day Emma enjoyed playing with the animals on the farm. One day she was playing with a special foal, who she loved very much. The foal was so small that Emma could pick him up and carry him in her arms. + +But every day, she noticed that the foal was getting bigger – and soon it would be time for him to go to the stable. Emma was very sad at the thought of the foal leaving, but she knew it was inevitable. + +So the day came when Emma had to take the foal to the stable. It weighed a lot more than it had before, so it was not easy for Emma to move him around. When they arrived at the stable, the stable keeper stepped forward to check the weight of the foal. + +"It's a healthy foal," he said. "He's gained enough weight to stay here." + +Emma was so happy.

Everyone thanked the young man and they all lived happily ever after. +Once upon a time there was a shy rabbit. The rabbit loved apples. Everyday the rabbit would see an apple in the tree and want to join it. The rabbit was too shy to ever try and take the apple. + +One day, the rabbit was feeling brave, it hopped up to the apple. "Join me," said the apple sweetly. The rabbit was scared but it was very hungry, so it joined the apple. + +To the rabbit's surprise, when it joined the apple, it found many more apples in the tree!

She picked it up and was so excited to play with it. + +She put the chain around her neck to pretend she was a princess. But soon the chain started to feel uncomfortable. She pulled it off and threw it away. She decided to play tag with her friends instead. + +The End. +Once upon a time there was a boy called Luke. Luke was only three years old and he loved exploring. One day he went outside to peek around his garden. He saw two tiny pink rabbits hopping around. Curious, Luke walked towards them to get a closer look. He squatted down and peered over some shrubs. The rabbits paused and readied themselves to leap away. + +Suddenly, Luke smiled and spoke in a gentle voice. "Hello, little bunnies," he said. To his surprise the rabbits stayed put. "What are you doing out here?" + +One of the rabbits inched closer. "We were playing and rubbing up against each other when we saw you." The rabbit's whiskers twitched. "Are you upset?" + +Luke shook his head. "No, I'm not upset. I like rabbits. Can I pet you?" + +The rabbits hopped a bit closer. Luke reached out and began to gently rub their soft fur. In no time a special bond formed between the three of them.

The man smiled and said, "A happy and healthy child needs to rest and recharge in order to enjoy things such as a parade. Life's too short to miss out on all of these happy moments!" + +Lucy then thought about the man's words and decided to go home and take a nap. From that day on, every time she heard a parade, Lucy would make sure she had enough rest so she could enjoy the fun and festivities. + +Moral of the story: It is important to take enough rest so we are able to enjoy and appreciate the exciting things in life! +Once upon a time a kind little girl named Lucy was sitting by the sea. She was very happy because she loved being near the ocean. Suddenly, she heard something splashing in the water. Lucy looked out and saw a huge whale swimming around. + +The whale was kind and kept swimming around Lucy in circles. It almost seemed like it wanted to play with her. Lucy thought this was the most exciting thing ever and laughed with joy. + +The whale kept swimming around Lucy and the little girl kept giggling. They stayed like this for a while until the whale finally had to go. Lucy waved goodbye and the whale gave her a friendly nod before swimming away. + +Lucy was sad to see the whale go, but she was still very happy. She looked out to the ocean and smiled. Then she snuggled up against the sand and sat in the sun all day. +It was a hot summer day and Jane was very eager to play in her garden. She was so enthusiastic that she ran around barefoot and without a shirt. + +However, something embarrassing happened! Jane's neighbour was looking at her through their window. She quickly put her shirt back on and blushed. + +Jane's mum noticed her embarrassment. She asked, "What's wrong honey?" + +Jane said, "I feel embarrassed. I forgot my shirt when I was playing in the garden and neighbour saw me!" + +Mum said, "Don't worry, it's ok. You can always play in the garden again tomorrow.

One day he saw a big colorful calendar on the kitchen table. He knew that it was his mom's, and he wanted it for himself. He asked his mom if he could have it, but she said no and put it out of his reach. Bill was so disappointed and upset that he started to cry. + +His mom knew why he wanted the calendar, and tried to make him feel better. She gave him crayons and some paper, and told him he could make his own calendar. But Bill wanted the big calendar, and he started to cry harder. + +His mom was very patient, but she also didn't want to spoil him. She told him that if he was persistent and tried hard to make his own calendar, then maybe one day she'd give him the big calendar. + +This made Bill very happy. He went to his room and drew pictures of lots of things, like the house and the garden. He slowly filled each page until he had a beautiful and colourful calendar of his own. + +His mom saw all his hard work, and was so proud of him. She gave him the big calendar and told him he deserved it for being so persistent. From that day onwards, Bill always remembered to be persistent and work hard, no matter how hard a task may seem. +Mum was standing in the doorway with a big smile on her face. It was morning and the sun had peeked over the horizon. It was time to wake up! + +"Time to wake up!" cried Mum. + +Sammy opened his eyes and scrambled out of bed.

Whenever he went outside with it, he would walk around and grumble to himself. + +One day, the old man was walking around town when he saw the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. The sun was shining and he was so amazed that he stopped in his tracks. He shouted, "Look at how brightly the sun shines!" + +Suddenly, the old man's basket began to move. He thought it had come alive and started to run away. He chased after it but it was too fast. "Come back this instant!" he shouted.

"Oh, what a lucky find!" the fox said. + +John was very happy to show off his new feather, but the fox had a different idea. "Let's have a race!" he said eagerly. John didn't think he could race with the fox, and so he said no. But the fox insisted. "Come on now, give it a try!" + +John was scared, but he was also eager to prove himself. So he agreed. He hopped as fast as he could and the fox ran with all his might. Back and forth they went, until finally, John crossed the finish line first. + +The fox was impressed, and realized it was not the feather but John's determination that made him the winner. He congratulated John and said, "I may be old, but I'm still faster than some rabbits." John smiled and knew he had learned a valuable lesson. Hard work, enthusiasm, and determination will take you farther than any feather! +One day, a little girl saw something shine in the gloomy woods.

Remember when we read that story about a giant's treasure in the woods? Well, I think it might be hidden somewhere out here. We have to try and find it." + +Bob was excited. He'd been on many adventures with his dad, but none quite like this. He looked ahead, eager to find the giant's treasure. + +Suddenly, they came to a very open and grassy area in the woods.

Everywhere he looked he saw more, and more tidiness! + +"Where is all the fun?" he asked his family. + +"You must look harder," said his father. "Go and explore! You'll find something eventually." + +So the complaining turkey explored, and eventually he found a fun place to run around and play.

Tag trusted his parents and without a doubt, he dived quickly into the depths of the ocean. + +When Tag came back to the surface, he saw his parents were smiling. His parents explained that the whale just wanted to play and it was not a danger.
