He put the bread in the toaster and the honey in a bowl. He waited for the bread to pop. Then he took a knife and cut the bread into a big heart. He spread honey on the heart and put it on a plate. He carried the plate to the couch and gave it to Lily. + +"Look, Lily," he said. "I made you a honey heart. It is sweet and yummy, just like you. I love you, Lily." + +Lily looked at the plate. She saw the honey heart. She saw dad's smile. She felt a warm feeling in her chest. She smiled back at dad. She took a bite of the honey heart. It was sweet and yummy, just like dad said. She gave dad a hug and a kiss and said, "I love you, dad. Thank you for the honey heart." + +Dad and Lily ate the honey heart together. They laughed and talked and cuddled. They forgot about mom for a while. They were happy. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with many flowers. They smelled the flowers and heard the bees. They liked the bees. The bees made honey. + +"Can we get some honey?" Sara asked Ben. + +"Maybe," Ben said. "But we have to be careful. The bees do not like to share." + +They found a ladder and put it next to the tree. They climbed up the ladder, very slowly and quietly. They saw a hole in the tree. They looked inside and saw a lot of honey. + +"Wow!" Sara said. "Look at the brilliant honey! It is so yellow and sweet!" + +She reached out her hand to touch the honey. But she did not see the bee that was guarding the hole. The bee saw Sara and got angry. It flew out of the hole and stung Sara on the finger. + +"Ow!" Sara screamed. "The bee hurt me!" + +She let go of the ladder and fell down. Ben saw Sara fall and got scared. He also let go of the ladder and fell down. They both landed on the grass and cried. + +Their mom heard them scream and came running. She saw them on the ground and the bee flying away. She hugged them and kissed their boo-boos. + +"It's okay, my loves," she said. "The bee was just protecting its honey. You should not take what is not yours. Come on, let's go inside and have some cookies and milk. I have some honey for you too, if you want." + +Sara and Ben nodded and smiled. They followed their mom inside and forgot about the bee. They learned their lesson and never tried to get honey from the tree again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They did not see the dark clouds in the sky. They did not hear the loud thunder. They did not feel the cold wind. + +Mom saw the storm coming. She was worried. She called Tom and Lily to come inside. She said, "Hurry, hurry, it is going to rain. The rain is bad. It can make you wet and sick. And sometimes it can bring lightning. Lightning is very bad. It can hurt you and make things burn." + +Tom and Lily did not listen. They wanted to play more. They said, "No, no, we are having fun. The rain is not bad. It can make us cool and clean. And lightning is not bad. It can make us see and sparkle." + +Mom was angry. She said, "Tom and Lily, you are being naughty. You have to do what I say. I am your mom. I know what is best for you. I love you and I want to keep you safe. Now come inside, or I will give you a time out." + +Tom and Lily did not care. They said, "No, no, we are not naughty. We are being brave. We do not need to do what you say. We are big and smart. We love you too, but we want to have fun. We do not want a time out." + +Mom was sad. She said, "Tom and Lily, you are making a big mistake. You are not being brave. You are being foolish. You do not know what you are doing. You are not big and smart. You are small and silly. You will not have fun. You will have trouble." + +But Tom and Lily did not hear her. They ran away from the house. They ran to the big tree in the yard. They said, "Look, look, we are at the tree. The tree is our friend. It can give us shade and fruit and fun. It can protect us from the rain and the lightning." + +But the tree was not their friend. The tree was their enemy. The tree was tall and dry and old. It was a target for the lightning. The lightning saw the tree. The lightning was angry. It said, "Look, look, I see the tree. The tree is my foe. It can block my way and steal my power and bore me. It can not protect anyone from me. I will give it a lesson." + +The lightning flashed and cracked. It struck the tree. The tree burst into flames. The flames spread and grew. They reached Tom and Lily. Tom and Lily screamed and cried. They said, "Help, help, we are on fire. The tree is not our friend. The tree is our enemy. It did not give us anything good. It gave us something bad. The lightning is not good. The lightning is very bad. It hurt us and made things burn." + +Mom heard their screams and cries. She ran to the yard. She saw the fire and the smoke. She saw Tom and Lily. She was scared and sad. She said, "Oh, no, no, no, what have you done? You did not listen to me. You did not come inside. You did not stay safe. You played with the rain and the lightning. You played with the fire. You made a big mistake. You got into trouble." + +Mom grabbed Tom and Lily. She pulled them away from the fire. She took them inside. She put water on their burns. She hugged them and kissed them. She said, "I am sorry, sorry, sorry, you are hurt. You are my children. I love you more than anything. I want to make you better. I want to make you happy. I will give you anything you need. I will give you anything you want." + +Tom and Lily were hurt and sorry. They said, "We are sorry, sorry, sorry, we did not listen. You are our mom. You love us more than anything. You know what is best for us. You want to keep us safe. You gave us a warning. You gave us a chance. We did not take it. We made a big mistake. We got into trouble." + +Mom said, "It is okay, okay, okay, you are sorry. I forgive you. You are my children. You love me more than anything. You learned a lesson. You will not do it again. You will be careful. You will be good. You gave me a scare. You gave me a worry. But you also gave me a hug. You also gave me a kiss. You made me sad. But you also made me happy." +There was a prince who lived in a big castle. He had many toys and clothes and books, but he was not happy. He wanted to have friends to play with and talk to. He did not like to do what the king and queen told him to do. He wanted to be normal. + +One day, he saw some children playing in the park near the castle. They were running and laughing and having fun. The prince wanted to join them, but he did not know how. He was afraid they would not like him or make fun of him. He wished he could be normal. + +He decided to sneak out of the castle and go to the park. He put on some normal clothes and a hat to hide his hair. He walked to the park and saw the children playing. He tried to come near them and say hello, but they did not notice him. He felt sad and lonely. + +Then, he saw a girl who was sitting on a bench by herself. She had a book in her hand and a smile on her face. She looked nice and friendly. The prince came to her and asked her what she was reading. She told him it was a fairy tale about a prince and a princess. She asked him if he liked fairy tales. He said yes, he did. + +They started to talk and read and play together. They had many things in common and they enjoyed each other's company. The prince felt happy and normal. He forgot about the castle and the king and the queen. He only wanted to be with the girl. + +But then, he heard a loud noise. It was the king and the queen and the guards. They had come to look for him and they had found him. They were angry and worried. They told him to come back to the castle and never leave again. They told him he was not normal, he was a prince. + +The prince did not want to go. He wanted to stay with the girl. He told her he was sorry and he asked her to come with him. He told her he was a prince and he liked her. He asked her to be his friend. + +The girl was surprised and confused. She did not know he was a prince. She liked him too, but she did not want to leave her home and her family. She told him she was sorry and she could not come with him. She told him she was normal and she was happy. + +The prince was sad and hurt. He did not understand why she did not want to come with him. He thought they could be happy together. He did not want to be a prince, he wanted to be normal. + +He learned a lesson that day. He learned that being normal is not about what you wear or what you have or what you do. Being normal is about being yourself and being happy with who you are. He learned that being a prince is not about being lonely and bored and unhappy. Being a prince is about being responsible and kind and brave. He learned that he could be both a prince and normal, if he found the right balance and the right friends. He learned that he could be happy, if he followed his heart and his dreams. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a big doll that she liked very much.

She liked Ben's car, but she liked her doll more. She did not want to replace her doll with the car. She said to Ben, "That is not fair! You took the robot without asking. You have to give it back. That is the law." + +Ben did not listen to Sara. He said, "No, I want the robot. It is more fun than the car. You can have the car. It is a good toy." + +Sara and Ben started to fight. They pulled the robot and the doll. They shouted and cried. Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and the toys. She was not happy. + +Mom said, "Stop it, both of you. You are not being nice to each other. You have to share and respect your toys. Ben, you cannot take the robot without asking. It is not yours. Sara, you cannot keep the doll and the car. You have to choose one. And you have to say sorry to each other." + +Sara and Ben felt sorry. They said sorry to each other and to Mom. They gave back the toys they took. They hugged and made up. Mom smiled and said, "That is better. Now, how about some tasty cookies for a snack?" Sara and Ben nodded and smiled. They liked cookies. They followed Mom to the kitchen. They were happy and shared their cookies. +Tom likes to whistle. He whistles when he walks, when he plays, and when he helps his dad on the farm. He whistles to the cows, the chickens, and the dog. He thinks whistling makes them happy. + +One day, Tom sees a new cow in the barn. She is big and brown and has a bell around her neck. Tom wants to whistle to her, but she looks scared. She moves away from him and makes a loud moo. Tom wonders why she does not like his whistling. + +He asks his dad, who tells him that the new cow is from another farm. She does not know Tom or his whistling. She needs time to get used to them. He says that Tom should be gentle and quiet with her, and give her some hay and water. He says that whistling is good, but sometimes it is hard for new friends to hear. + +Tom listens to his dad and does what he says. He brings some hay and water to the new cow and puts them near her.

They like to see the big animals and hear the loud noises. One day, they see a hippo in the water. The hippo is very big and has a big mouth. Tom and Mia want to touch the hippo. + +"Let's go closer," Tom says. "Maybe the hippo is friendly." + +"No, Tom, we have to be careful," Mia says. "The hippo can be angry. Mom and Dad said so." + +But Tom does not listen to Mia. He runs to the fence and climbs over it. He goes to the edge of the water and reaches out his hand. He wants to guess how the hippo feels. + +"Tom, come back!" Mia shouts. "The hippo can hurt you!" + +But it is too late. The hippo sees Tom and opens its big mouth. It bites Tom's hand and pulls him into the water. Tom screams and cries. Mia screams and cries. The zookeepers come and try to help, but they are too late. The hippo does not let go of Tom. Tom is gone. + +Mia is very sad. She wishes she could have stopped Tom. She wishes Tom had been careful. She wishes Tom had listened to her. She misses Tom very much.

Lily helped to wash and cut the vegetables. She was very smart and careful with the knife. + +Mom put the pot on the stove and turned on the fire. The water in the pot got hot and started to make bubbles. Lily watched the bubbles go up and down. She liked how they looked and sounded. She asked mom, "Why do bubbles come out of the water?" + +Mom said, "Bubbles are air that escapes from the water when it gets very hot. The hot water makes the soup cook faster and taste better. But we have to be careful not to touch the pot or the fire, because they can burn us." + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand. I will not touch the pot or the fire. I will wait until the soup is ready and then we can eat it together." She smiled and gave mom a hug. She loved to cook with her mom. +Lily and Max were playing with their toy cars. Lily had a red car with a big engine. Max had a blue car with a small engine.

Max said. + +They decided to have a race to see who was right. They drew a line with a crayon on the carpet. They put their cars behind the line. They asked their mom to record them with her phone. + +"Ready, set, go!" Mom said. + +Lily and Max pushed their cars as hard as they could. Lily's car zoomed ahead of Max's car. Max tried to catch up, but his car was too slow. Lily crossed the finish line first. + +"I won, I won, I'm the fastest car in the world!" Lily shouted. + +Max was sad. He felt like crying. He didn't like losing. He thought his car was broken. + +"Mom, my car is not working, it's too slow!" Max said. + +Mom hugged Max and smiled. She showed him the video she recorded on her phone. + +"Look, Max, your car is not broken, it's just different. It may not have a big engine, but it has a charming sound.

One day, they see a big orange wrap on the ground. It is shiny and soft. + +"Look, Lily, what is this?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know, Tom. Maybe it is a gift for someone," Lily says. + +They pick up the wrap and open it. Inside, there is a big teddy bear. It is brown and fuzzy. It has a red bow on its neck. + +"Wow, it is a bear!" Tom says. + +"It is so cute! Can we keep it?" Lily asks. + +They hug the bear and smile. They are happy. They think the wrap and the bear are for them. + +But then, they hear a voice. + +"Hey, that's my wrap and my bear! Give them back!" The voice is angry and loud. + +They look up and see a boy. He is bigger than them. He has a mean face. He runs towards them. + +Tom and Lily are scared. They drop the wrap and the bear. They run away. They don't want to fight with the boy. + +They find a bench and sit down. They are sad. They liked the wrap and the bear. + +"Maybe the boy was sad too. Maybe the wrap and the bear were his birthday gift," Tom says. + +"Maybe you are right, Tom. Maybe we should say sorry to him," Lily says. + +They look at each other and nod. They are brave. They stand up and walk back to the boy. They hope he will be nice to them. +Lila and Tom were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water.

It is very expensive." + +"Who would eat that?" Tom asked. + +"Some people think it is good for their health. Some people think it is a delicacy. Some people are curious. Do you want to try it?" the man asked. + +Lila and Tom shook their heads. They did not want to eat jellyfish. They wanted ice cream and cookies. + +"Can we have ice cream and cookies, please?" they asked. + +"Sure, sure," the man said. "What flavor do you want?" + +Lila and Tom chose their favorite flavors. They paid the man and thanked him. They went back to their mom and dad. They enjoyed their ice cream and cookies. They did not look at the jellyfish salad.

She thinks Lily is happy too. She says, "Lily, you are my best friend. I am glad you came with me." +Anna liked to taste new things. She tasted apples, bananas, cheese, bread and milk. She liked most of them, but some were disgusting. She did not like lemons, onions, fish or coffee. They made her face twist and her tongue hurt. + +One day, Anna saw a rainbow in the sky. It was very pretty. It had many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Anna wondered how the rainbow tasted. She thought it must be sweet and yummy, like candy or ice cream. + +She asked her mom if she could taste the rainbow. Her mom said no, it was too far away and too high. She said rainbows were not food, they were light. Anna did not understand. She wanted to taste the rainbow very much. + +She waited until her mom was busy. Then she took a chair and climbed on it. She reached for the window and opened it. She leaned out and stretched her tongue. She tried to lick the rainbow. + +But the rainbow was not sweet and yummy. It was not even there.

One day, they saw a big red poppy that shone in the sun.

They said they were sorry and gave the poppy back to their mom. She said she forgave them, but they had to learn to respect the flowers and the animals. + +She took them back to the garden and showed them how to plant the poppy in a new spot. She said maybe it would grow again, if they watered it and cared for it. She said they could still look at the poppy and enjoy its shine, but they had to leave it alone. + +Lily and Ben nodded.

It was a bear! + +Tom was afraid and wanted to run away. But the bear was faster. It came out of the hole and opened its wide mouth. It showed its big teeth and claws. It wanted to eat Tom. Tom did not have his spear. He dropped it when he saw the hole. He had nothing to fight with. He closed his eyes and waited for the bear to bite him. + +But then he heard another roar. It was his dad and big brother. They heard Tom scream and came to help him. They had their spears and threw them at the bear. The bear was hurt and ran away. Tom opened his eyes and saw his dad and big brother. They hugged him and told him he was safe. They picked up his spear and took him home. Tom was happy and thanked them. He learned to be careful and not chase rabbits into the woods. He still liked to play with his spear, but only in the yard. +It was a cold day and Lily wanted to play in the snow. She put on her coat, her hat, and her boots. But she could not find her mittens. She looked under her bed, in her closet, and in her toy box. No mittens. + +"Mommy, where are my mittens?" she asked. + +"Maybe they are in the laundry room, honey. I will help you look for them in a minute. I just need to finish this phone call," Mommy said. + +Lily did not want to wait. She wanted to go outside now. She saw her brother's mittens on the couch. They were blue and big. Lily decided to take them. She put them on her hands and ran to the door. + +"Hey, those are my mittens!" her brother shouted. He followed her and tried to grab them back. + +"No, they are mine!" Lily said. She pushed him away and opened the door. + +But as soon as she stepped outside, she felt something wet and cold on her face. It was snowing hard. The wind was blowing and the sky was gray. Lily could not see the trees or the swing or the snowman. She felt scared and cold. + +She wanted to go back inside. She wanted her own mittens. She wanted Mommy. + +She turned around and saw her brother standing at the door. He looked angry and sad. He held out his hands and said, "Here, take your mittens. I'm sorry I yelled at you. Let's go inside and have some hot chocolate." + +Lily nodded and ran to him. She gave him his mittens and hugged him. He hugged her back and closed the door. They went to the kitchen and found Mommy waiting for them with two mugs of hot chocolate and some cookies. + +"Are you okay, sweeties?" Mommy asked. + +"Yes, Mommy. We are sorry we fought over the mittens. We love you," Lily and her brother said. + +Mommy smiled and kissed them. "I love you too. And I found your mittens, Lily. They were in the dryer. Next time, please don't take your brother's mittens without asking. And don't go outside when it's snowing so hard. It's not safe." + +"Okay, Mommy. We won't do it again," Lily and her brother said. + +They sat on the couch and drank their hot chocolate and ate their cookies. They watched the snow fall outside the window. It was peaceful and quiet. They felt warm and happy. They forgot about the delay and the mitten and the conflict. They only remembered the love. +Lily and her mom went to the mall. Lily liked the mall. She saw many toys and clothes and books. She wanted to have them all. She asked her mom to buy them for her. + +Mom said no. She said they had enough toys and clothes and books at home. She said they only came to the mall to buy some food and a gift for Lily's grandma. She said Lily should be happy with what she had and not be greedy. + +Lily was not happy. She was angry. She threw a tantrum. She cried and screamed and kicked. She did not listen to her mom. She did not care about the people around her. She only wanted more things. + +Mom was sad. She tried to calm Lily down. She told her to stop crying and screaming and kicking. She told her to be polite and respectful and grateful. She told her to think about her grandma, who was old and sick and needed some love. + +Lily did not stop. She snapped. She bit her mom's hand. She hurt her mom. Mom was shocked. She was hurt. She was angry. She slapped Lily's cheek. She scolded her. She said Lily was naughty and rude and mean. She said Lily should be ashamed of herself. + +Lily was shocked. She was hurt. She was scared. She felt sorry. She realized she was wrong. She hugged her mom. She said sorry. She said she loved her mom. She said she loved her grandma. She said she did not need more things. She said she would be good. + +Mom hugged Lily. She said sorry. She said she loved Lily. She said she was proud of her grandma. She said she would buy her a small toy as a reward. She said they would go and see grandma and give her the gift. She said they would be happy. + +Lily smiled. She said thank you. She said she learned a lesson. She said she would not snap again. She said she would be happy. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be greedy and selfish. Be content and thankful. Do not snap and hurt others. Be kind and loving. Do not throw tantrums. Be calm and respectful. +Anna likes to play with her dog, Max. Max is big and brown and loves to run and jump. One day, Anna and Max go to the park with Mom. Mom has a basket with food for lunch. Anna and Max are very hungry. + +Mom puts a blanket on the grass and opens the basket. She takes out some bread, cheese, fruit and a big steak. The steak smells good. Max sees the steak and wants it. He barks and wags his tail. Mom says, "No, Max, this is for us. You have your own food in the basket." + +But Max does not listen. He waits for Mom to look away. Then he springs up and grabs the steak with his mouth. He runs away with the steak. Mom and Anna are shocked. They shout, "Max, come back! Drop the steak!" + +Max runs to the other side of the park. He sees a pond with ducks. He thinks the ducks are fun. He wants to play with them. He drops the steak on the ground and runs to the pond. He jumps in the water and splashes the ducks. The ducks are scared. They quack and fly away. + +Anna and Mom run after Max. They see the steak on the ground. They see Max in the pond. They are angry and sad. They say, "Max, you are a bad dog! You took our steak and scared the ducks! Now we have no steak and you are wet and dirty!" + +Max feels sorry. He knows he did a bad thing. He swims out of the pond and runs to Mom and Anna. He licks their faces and wags his tail. He says, "Woof, woof, I'm sorry. I love you. Can we still be friends?" + +Mom and Anna look at Max. He is wet and dirty, but he is also cute and sweet. They sigh and smile. They say, "Oh, Max, you are a silly dog! You made a mess, but we still love you. You are our friend. But next time, don't take our steak!" + +They hug Max and give him a pat. They pick up the steak and throw it in the trash. It is too dirty to eat. They find some other food in the basket. They eat their lunch on the blanket. They share some bread and cheese with Max. He is happy. He says, "Woof, woof, thank you. This is good. You are good." + +They finish their lunch and pack their basket. They go home. Mom gives Max a bath. He does not like the bath, but he likes the towel. He shakes and dries himself. He curls up on his bed. He is tired. He says, "Woof, woof, good night. I had a fun day. I learned a lesson. Steak is good, but friends are better." +Tom and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. One day, they saw a lady with a big hat and a long dress. She had a black cat and a stick. + +"Look, a witch!" Tom said. He pointed at the lady. "She is scary and bad. She can do magic with her stick." + +Mia was afraid. She hid behind Tom. She did not like the lady. She did not like the cat. She did not like the stick. + +The lady heard Tom. She was not a witch. She was a teacher. She liked to wear hats and dresses. She liked her cat and her stick. She was sad and angry. She walked to Tom and Mia. + +"Why do you point at me?" she asked. "Why do you call me a witch? That is not nice. That is rude. You should be ashamed." + +Tom and Mia felt bad. They did not know the lady was a teacher. They did not know she was sad and angry. They were sorry. They said sorry to the lady. + +"We are sorry," they said. "We did not mean to hurt you. We thought you were a witch. We were wrong. You are not a witch. You are a teacher. You are nice. Can we be friends?" + +The lady smiled. She was not sad and angry anymore. She was happy and kind. She said yes to Tom and Mia. + +"Yes, we can be friends," she said. "You are not rude. You are brave and honest. You said sorry. That is good. Come, I will show you my cat and my stick. They are not magic. They are fun." +Lily and Ben were going on a big trip with Mom and Dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed their bags and toys and got in the car. Mom and Dad had their passports in a small bag. Passports are useful papers that let you go to other places. + +On the way to the airport, they stopped at a gas station. Mom and Dad got out of the car to buy some snacks and drinks. Lily and Ben stayed in the car and played with their toys. They saw a man walking around the cars. He looked mean and scary. + +The man saw the small bag on the front seat.

They tried to stop him, but he was too strong and quick. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and came back to the car. They saw the man running away with their passports. They were very angry and sad. They called the police, but the man was gone. They could not go on their big trip without their passports. They had to go back home. Lily and Ben were very disappointed and sorry. They wished they had locked the door and kept the bag safe. They learned a hard lesson. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They had a big bucket of water to wash their hands. They were having fun. + +But then they saw smoke in the sky. It was coming from the house next door. They heard loud noises and people shouting. They saw fire and flames. They were scared. + +They ran to their mom, who was inside the house. They told her what they saw. She looked out the window and saw the fire too. She said, "Oh no, that's terrible! We have to help our neighbors. Come on, let's go outside and see if they are okay." + +She took Lily and Ben by the hand and went outside. She saw some firefighters and police officers. They were trying to put out the fire and help the people. She asked them if they needed anything. They said, "No, thank you. We have everything under control. Just stay back and be safe." + +Lily and Ben watched the firefighters and police officers. They saw them use hoses and ladders and sirens. They saw them rescue a cat and a dog. They saw them give blankets and water to the people. They saw them work hard and be brave. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for their neighbors. They hoped they would be okay. They hoped they would find a new home. They did not complain. They were glad they had their mom and their house and each other. They hugged their mom and said, "We love you, mom. You are the best." She hugged them back and said, "I love you too, my sweeties. You are the best too." +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they find a folder on the table. The folder is big and blue. They are curious. + +"What is in the folder?" Sara asks. + +"Let's open it and see," Ben says. + +They open the folder. Inside, they see many papers. The papers have words and numbers on them. They do not understand the words and numbers.

They use crayons and stickers. They make flowers and stars and animals. They have fun. + +Soon, Mom comes home. She sees the folder on the floor. She sees the papers with drawings on them. She is angry. + +"Who did this?" Mom asks. + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They are scared. + +"We did, Mom," Sara says. + +"Why did you do this?" Mom asks. + +"We wanted to see what was in the folder. We did not like the papers. We wanted to make them pretty," Ben says. + +Mom sighs. She picks up the folder and the papers. She shows them to Sara and Ben. + +"These are not papers for drawing. These are papers for work. I need them for my job. You ruined them. You should not open things that are not yours. You should ask before you touch. You should respect other people's things," Mom says. + +Sara and Ben feel sorry. They did not know the papers were important. They did not mean to make Mom angry. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Sara says. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Ben says. + +Mom hugs them. She is not angry anymore. She is glad they are sorry. + +"I forgive you, Sara and Ben. But you have to learn from your mistake. Next time, do not open things that are not yours. Ask before you touch.

Mom loves them. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play together. One day, they want to surprise their moms. They find some paper and crayons. They make masks. Tom makes a lion mask. Lily makes a butterfly mask. They cut out the eyes and the mouth. They put strings on the masks. + +They hide behind the sofa. They wait for their moms to come. They hear the door open.

They say, "What good masks you made! You are very clever and creative!" Tom and Lily are happy. They show their moms how they made the masks. They say, "We love you, Mom!"

Sara and Tom are thirsty. They have some coins in their pockets. + +They go to the sign. There is a boy behind a table. He has a big jug of lemonade and some cups. He smiles at Sara and Tom. He says: "Hello, do you want some lemonade? It is cheap and good." + +Sara and Tom nod. They give the boy some coins. He pours them some lemonade. They drink it. It is cold and sweet. They smile too. They say: "Thank you, this is very good lemonade." + +The boy says: "You're welcome, I'm glad you like it. Do you want some more?" Sara and Tom shake their heads. They are not thirsty anymore. They say: "No, thank you, we have to go now. Bye." + +They wave at the boy. He waves back. They go back to the park. They play some more. They are happy. They have a good day. +Tim likes to ride his bike. He has a red bike with two big wheels and a bell. He rides his bike in the park with his mom and dad. He sees many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, dogs, and people. + +One day, he sees a big tray on the grass. The tray has food on it. It has bread, cheese, fruit, and cake. Tim thinks the food looks yummy. He wants to eat some. He rides his bike to the tray. He does not see anyone near the tray. + +He reaches the tray and stops his bike. He picks up a piece of cheese and puts it in his mouth. He does not like it. It tastes bad. He spits it out. He looks at the tray again. He sees something else on the tray. It is a mouse.

He cries for his mom and dad. + +Mom and dad hear Tim crying. They run to him. They hug him and ask him what is wrong. Tim tells them about the tray and the mouse and the cheese. Mom and dad look at the tray. They see a sign next to it. The sign says: "Do not touch. This is a trap for rats. The food is poisoned." Mom and dad explain to Tim what the sign means.

They tell him they love him and they are proud of him for telling them the truth. + +Tim feels better. He says he is sorry for touching the food. He says he will not do it again. He says he loves mom and dad too. He asks if they can go home and have some good food. Mom and dad say yes. They take Tim and his bike and go home. They have some good food and some cake. Tim is happy. He likes to ride his bike. He does not like dead mice. +Lily got a new diary for her birthday. She was very happy. She liked the pink cover and the lock and key. She wanted to write and draw in her diary every day. + +She used a pencil to write her name on the first page. She used a crayon to draw a heart and a flower. She used a sticker to decorate the corner. She smiled at her diary. It was hers and no one else's. + +But one day, she could not find her diary. She looked under her bed, in her closet, in her backpack. She asked her mom and dad, but they did not know. She felt sad and worried. Who took her diary? + +She went to her brother's room. She saw him playing with his cars. She also saw something on his desk. It was her diary! She was angry. She ran to his desk and grabbed her diary. She opened it and saw that he had used a marker to scribble on her pages. He had ruined her diary! + +She yelled at him and told him to give her back her key. He said he was sorry and that he was just curious. He said he wanted to see what she wrote and drew. He said he did not mean to make her mad. He gave her back her key and a hug. + +Lily was still upset, but she forgave him. She knew he was her brother and he loved her. She also knew he was younger and did not understand.

She said she would show him some of her pages if he asked nicely. + +They made up and played together. Lily put her diary in a safe place. She hoped she could fix some of the pages. She still liked her new diary, even if it was not perfect. She knew it was special, because it had her thoughts and feelings in it. +Tom and Mia like to play with paper and scissors. They cut out shapes and make pictures. One day, they want to make a big city with many buildings. They cut out squares and rectangles and glue them together. They make some buildings high and some buildings low. They are very proud of their city. + +But then, their baby brother Sam comes into the room. He sees the paper city and thinks it is fun. He grabs the scissors and starts to cut the buildings. He cuts them into small pieces and throws them in the air. He laughs and claps his hands. He does not know he is making a mess. + +Tom and Mia are very angry. They see their city ruined by Sam. They shout at him and try to take the scissors away. But Sam does not want to stop. He cries and kicks and holds the scissors tight. He cuts his finger and it hurts. He drops the scissors and starts to wail. + +Mom hears the noise and comes into the room. She sees the paper city destroyed and Sam bleeding. She is very worried and sad. She picks up Sam and puts a band-aid on his finger. She hugs him and tells him it is okay.

One day, they saw a big sign that said "Honey for sale". They loved honey on their toast and in their tea. They asked their mom if they could buy some honey. + +"Sure, but you have to be careful of the bees," their mom said. "They live in the boxes behind the sign. They make the honey, but they can also sting you if you bother them." + +Ben and Lily nodded and ran to the sign. They saw a cheerful man with a hat and a net. He was the beekeeper. He smiled and said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want some honey?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben and Lily said. They gave him some coins and he gave them a jar of honey. It was golden and sweet. + +"Thank you, Mr. Beekeeper!" they said. + +"You're welcome, but remember what your mom said. Don't go near the bees. They are busy and don't like to be disturbed." + +Ben and Lily said they would be careful and went back to their mom. They were happy with their honey and wanted to share it with their friends. They decided to have a tea party in the garden. + +They set up a table and some chairs and invited their stuffed animals. They poured some tea and spread some honey on their toast. They pretended to have a fancy conversation. + +"This honey is delicious, Mr. Bear," Lily said. + +"Indeed, Miss Bunny. It is the best honey I ever tasted," Ben said. + +They were having so much fun that they didn't notice a buzzing sound. It was a bee that had followed them from the sign. It smelled the honey and wanted some too. It flew closer and closer to the table. + +Ben saw the bee and got scared. He jumped up and waved his arms. He tried to shoo the bee away. + +"Go away, bee! Go away!" he shouted. + +But the bee didn't go away. It got angry and stung Ben on his nose. Ben cried out in pain and dropped his toast. The honey spilled on the ground. + +Lily saw what happened and ran to her brother. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Ben. It's okay. I'll get mom. She'll make it better." + +She ran to the house and called for their mom. Their mom came and saw Ben's nose. She put some ice on it and gave him a kiss. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. That bee was mean. But you'll be fine. It's just a little sting." + +Ben sniffled and said, "Thank you, mom. I don't like bees. They are bad." + +"No, Ben. Bees are not bad. They are important. They make honey and help the flowers grow. They just don't like to share their honey. You have to respect them and leave them alone." + +Ben nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry I bothered the bee. I won't do it again." + +Their mom smiled and said, "That's good, Ben. Now, why don't you and Lily have some more tea and honey? But this time, keep it away from the bees." + +Ben and Lily agreed and went back to their tea party. They were more careful with their honey and enjoyed their toast. They learned their lesson and never bothered the bees again. They were happy and cheerful. The end. +Lily and Ben were playing with a big ball in the park. They liked to kick the ball and run after it. They saw a big tree with many branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds. + +They left the ball on the grass and ran to the tree. They found a rope hanging from a branch. The rope had a big knot at the end. Lily said, "Let's swing on the rope. It looks fun." Ben said, "OK, but be careful. Don't fall." + +Lily went first. She grabbed the rope and swung in the air. She felt happy and free. She said, "Whee! This is so fun!" Ben waited for his turn. He smiled and clapped. + +But then, Lily swung too high and too fast. She lost her grip and fell to the ground. She hit her head and cried. She felt pain and fear. She said, "Ow! Ow! Ow! Help me!" + +Ben ran to her and hugged her. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Are you OK? Do you need a band-aid?" Lily said, "I don't know. It hurts a lot. I want to go home." + +Ben helped her stand up and walk to the ball. He said, "Me too. Let's go home. I regret swinging on the rope. It was not fun. It was dangerous." + +They picked up the ball and left the park. They walked slowly and quietly. They did not look at the tree or the rope. They wished they had not played with the knot. They wished they had played with the ball. The ball was sweet and safe. The ball was their friend. +Lila and Tom liked to play with their toy boat. They had a big tub of water in the garden, and they put the boat in the water. The boat had a long sail that was red and white. Lila and Tom pretended they were pirates, and they looked for treasure. + +One day, they saw a shiny coin at the bottom of the tub. They wanted to get the coin, but they could not reach it with their hands. They tried to use a stick, but the stick was too short. They tried to use a spoon, but the spoon was too bendy. They tried to use a net, but the net had a hole. + +They thought hard, and then they had an idea. They took the sail off the boat, and tied it to the stick. They made a big scoop with the sail, and lowered it into the water. They moved the scoop near the coin, and lifted it up. They got the coin! + +They were very happy, and they cheered. They put the coin in their pocket, and gave each other a high five. They put the sail back on the boat, and settled it in the water. They continued to play with their boat, and imagined more adventures. They had a lot of fun. +One day, a man went to the zoo with his son. The man liked to see the big animals, like the lions and the bears. The son liked to see the small animals, like the monkeys and the birds. They had a lot of fun together. + +But the man was not nice to the animals. He threw stones at them, and made loud noises, and laughed when they got scared. The son told him to stop, but the man did not listen. He said he was just having fun, and the animals did not feel anything. + +The man was wrong. The animals did feel something. They felt angry and sad and hurt. They wanted the man to go away, and leave them alone. They waited for a chance to get back at him. + +The chance came when the man and the son went to see the elephants. The elephants were incredible. They were very big and strong, and had long trunks and big ears. The man thought they were funny, and threw a stone at one of them. The elephant did not like that.

The water was very cold and wet, and made the man scream. The son laughed, and thought it was funny. But the elephant was not done. It lifted its trunk again, and grabbed the man. It lifted him high in the air, and threw him far away. The man flew over the fence, and landed in the lion's cage. + +The lions were hungry, and saw the man. They did not know him, but they did not care. They saw him as food, and ran towards him. The man was very scared, and tried to run away. But he was too late. The lions caught him, and ate him. + +The son saw what happened, and cried. He was very sad, and wished his father had been nice to the animals. He learned a lesson, and never hurt any animal again. He also never went to the zoo again. He stayed at home, and played with his toys. He missed his father, but he also knew he had done a bad thing. He hoped the animals would forgive him, and be happy. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and slide and swing. They are happy and have fun. + +Lily notices something in the grass. It is white and hairy. It is a bunny. Lily likes bunnies. She runs to the bunny and says hello. + +Ben sees Lily and the bunny. He wants to play with them. He runs to the bunny and says hello too. The bunny is scared. It hops away fast. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They want the bunny to stay. They look for the bunny in the grass. They do not find the bunny. + +They see a man with a hat. He has a basket. He says he is the bunny's friend. He says the bunny is shy. He says he has more bunnies in the basket. He says Lily and Ben can pet them. + +Lily and Ben are happy again. They pet the bunnies. They are soft and warm. They say thank you to the man. They go back to play in the park. They hope to see the bunny again. +One day, Tom and his mom went to the park. Tom liked to play on the swings and the slide. He saw many birds and dogs and flowers. He was happy. + +But then, he saw something that made him scared. A big, dirty rat entered the park. It had long teeth and a long tail. It ran fast and made a loud noise. Tom did not like the rat. He ran to his mom and hugged her. + +His mom saw the rat too. She picked up Tom and walked away. She said, "Don't worry, Tom. The rat is not nice, but it will not hurt us. We will go to another place where there are no rats. We will have fun there." + +Tom nodded. He felt better. He said, "I love you, mom. You are nice, not like the rat. The rat is dirty and mean. I don't want to see it again." + +His mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Tom. You are brave, not like the rat. The rat is scared and lonely. Maybe it needs a friend. But we will not be its friend. We will find other friends who are kind and clean." +Tim and Lily were playing in the park with their toys. They saw a big bear in the bushes. The bear looked sad and hungry. Tim and Lily wanted to help the bear. + +"Hello, bear," Tim said. "Why are you sad?" + +The bear did not answer. He only growled softly. + +"Maybe he is hungry," Lily said. "We can give him some of our snacks." + +Lily took out a bag of cookies from her backpack. She walked slowly to the bear and held out a cookie. + +"Here, bear," she said. "This is for you. It is yummy." + +The bear sniffed the cookie. He looked at Lily with his big eyes. He opened his mouth and took the cookie. But he did not stop there. He also bit Lily's hand. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. "He bit me! He bit me!" + +Tim ran to Lily and tried to pull her away from the bear. But the bear was stronger. He grabbed Lily with his paws and dragged her into the bushes. + +"Help, help, help!" Lily screamed. "Tim, help me!" + +Tim was scared. He did not know what to do. He looked around for help. But there was no one else in the park. He was alone with the bear and Lily. + +He heard Lily's screams get quieter and quieter. He heard the bear's growls get louder and louder. He knew the bear was eating Lily. + +He wanted to save Lily. He wanted to explain to the bear that Lily was his friend and not his food. But he could not. He was too small and too weak. He could only cry and cry. + +The bear had a good meal. He did not care about Tim and Lily. He did not understand their words.
