We are firemen. We help people when there is a fire. Sometimes we have to use this axe to break down doors or windows, so we can get inside and save people or animals." + +"Wow, that's amazing!" Ben said. "You are very strong and brave. Can I hold your axe?" + +The fireman laughed and shook his head. "No, sorry, buddy. This axe is very heavy and sharp. It's not a toy. It's a tool. You have to be careful with it. Only firemen can use it." + +He explained to them how he and his team trained hard to use the axe and other tools safely and effectively. He also explained how they wore special clothes and helmets to protect themselves from the heat and smoke. He showed them his badge and his radio. + +Lily and Ben listened with wide eyes and asked many questions. They learned a lot about the firemen and their job. They thanked the fireman for his time and his explanations. They gave him a hug and a high-five. + +"Thank you, fireman. You are very helpful and kind. We want to be firemen when we grow up!" they said. + +The fireman smiled and waved goodbye. He was happy to see them interested and respectful. He hoped they would follow their dreams and be helpful and kind too. + +He went back to his truck and joined his team. They had to go to another place where there was a fire. They turned on the siren and drove away. + +Lily and Ben watched them go. They waved and cheered. They felt proud and excited. They loved the firemen. They wanted to help people too. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in their big building. They lived on the top floor with their mom and dad. Sometimes they took the elevator to go down and see the park or the shops. The elevator had buttons with numbers and lights. It was fun to press them and hear the beep. + +One day, Lily and Tom wanted to play a game. They decided to press all the buttons at once and see what would happen. They sneaked into the elevator when no one was looking and pushed all the buttons with their fingers. The elevator started to move up and down very fast. It made a loud noise and shook a lot. Lily and Tom were scared. They wanted to stop the elevator and get out. + +But the elevator did not stop. It kept going up and down, up and down. The lights went off and on. The noise got louder and louder. Lily and Tom cried and hugged each other. They felt sick and dizzy. They wished their mom and dad would come and save them. + +But their mom and dad did not come. They did not know where Lily and Tom were. They were busy in their room. They did not hear the noise or see the lights. They did not know that Lily and Tom were in trouble. + +The elevator did not stop for a long time. It went up and down, up and down, until it broke. It crashed to the bottom of the building with a big bang. Lily and Tom suffered a lot. They were hurt and bleeding. They could not breathe or move. They were very sad and sorry. They did not play the game anymore. They did not play anything anymore. The end. +Lily and Sam were playing with cardboard boxes in the backyard. They made a big fort with the boxes and pretended to be knights and princesses. Lily was the princess and Sam was the knight. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Sam tripped over a rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and it started to bleed. He cried out loud and Lily ran to him. + +"Sam, are you okay?" Lily asked. She saw his knee and felt sorry for him. + +"It hurts, Lily. It hurts a lot." Sam said. He held his knee and sobbed. + +Lily hugged him and said, "Don't cry, Sam. I will help you. I will heal your knee." + +She ran inside the house and came back with a band-aid and a wet cloth. She cleaned his knee with the cloth and put the band-aid on it. She kissed his knee and said, "There, all better. The band-aid will make your knee heal fast." + +Sam smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good princess. And a good friend." + +Lily smiled back and said, "You are welcome, Sam. You are a brave knight. And a good friend." + +They hugged and went back to their cardboard fort. They played some more and had a lot of fun. They forgot about the hurt knee and the rock. They were happy. +Lily was a stubborn girl. She did not like to share her toys or her clothes. She always wanted to have everything for herself. She had a lot of hangers in her closet, but she never used them. She threw her clothes on the floor or on the bed. + +One day, her cousin Sam came to visit. He was very excited to see Lily and play with her. He arrived with a big smile and a small suitcase. He knocked on the door and Lily opened it. + +"Hi, Lily! I'm so happy to see you!" Sam said. + +"Hi, Sam," Lily said, but she did not smile. She did not want to share her room or her toys with Sam. + +Sam followed Lily to her room. He saw the mess of clothes and toys. He tried to find a place to put his suitcase. + +"Can I use one of your hangers, Lily?" Sam asked. "I want to hang my shirt and pants." + +"No, you can't," Lily said. "They are mine. You can't touch them." + +"But, Lily, you have so many hangers. And you don't use them. Please, can I have one?" Sam said. + +"No, no, no!" Lily shouted. "Go away! This is my room!" + +Lily pushed Sam out of the door and slammed it. She locked it with a key. She thought she was happy, but she was not. She felt lonely and sad. + +Sam was hurt and confused. He did not understand why Lily was so mean. He wanted to be friends with her. He sat on the floor and cried. + +Lily heard Sam crying. She felt sorry for him. She realized she was wrong. She unlocked the door and opened it. + +"Sam, I'm sorry," Lily said. "I was stubborn and selfish. You can have a hanger. You can have two. You can have as many as you want. And you can play with my toys. And you can sleep on my bed. Please, don't cry." + +Sam looked up and saw Lily's face. He saw that she was sorry. He smiled and hugged her. + +"Thank you, Lily," Sam said. "You are very kind. I'm sorry, too. I love you, cousin." + +"I love you, too, Sam," Lily said. "You are very sweet. Come on, let's play." + +They went to Lily's room and hung Sam's clothes on the hangers. They played with the toys and had fun. They forgot about the mess and the fight. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to gather sticks and leaves and make pretend houses. They also liked to whip the sticks in the air and make loud noises. + +One day, a big dog came into the yard. It was black and brown and had sharp teeth. It barked and growled at Tom and Lily. They were scared and ran to their house. But the dog followed them and tried to bite them. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Lily shouted. "There is a bad dog in the yard!" + +Their mom heard them and came out. She saw the dog and grabbed a broom. She waved the broom at the dog and said in a harsh voice, "Go away, you nasty dog! Leave my children alone!" + +The dog was afraid of the mom and the broom. It turned around and ran away. Tom and Lily hugged their mom and thanked her. She hugged them back and said, "You are welcome, my darlings. I am glad you are safe. But next time, be careful and do not whip sticks at strange dogs. They might get angry and hurt you." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said they were sorry. They learned their lesson and never whipped sticks at dogs again. They still liked to gather sticks and leaves and make pretend houses, but they also looked out for any dogs in the yard. +Lily liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a purple bag for her blocks. She was very happy when her toys were neat and tidy. + +One day, Lily wanted to play outside. She put on her coat and shoes and grabbed her purple bag. She said bye to her mom and went to the yard. She saw a path that led to the park. She thought it would be fun to go there and build with her blocks. + +She walked on the path, holding her purple bag. She did not see the big dog that was running after her. The dog was angry and hungry. It wanted to bite Lily and take her bag. It barked very loud and jumped on Lily. + +Lily was scared and hurt. She dropped her purple bag and cried. The dog grabbed the bag and ran away. It tore the bag and the blocks with its teeth. Lily's blocks were broken and dirty. + +Lily's mom heard her cry and came to the yard. She saw Lily on the ground and the dog with the bag. She was very angry and sad. She chased the dog away and hugged Lily. She took her inside and cleaned her wounds. She said she was sorry and that she loved her. But Lily's purple bag and blocks were gone. She could not organize them anymore. She was very unhappy. +Lila and Sam were playing with crayons. They liked to draw animals and flowers on paper. Lila had a blue crayon and Sam had a red one. They shared the other colors. + +"Look, I made a fish!" Lila said, showing her paper to Sam. + +"It is very nice," Sam said. "I made a rose." + +They smiled at each other and kept drawing. + +But then, Lila's blue crayon broke. It snapped in half and fell on the floor. Lila was sad. She liked blue. It was her favorite color. + +"Oh no, my blue crayon!" she cried. + +Sam saw her cry and felt sorry for her. He wanted to help her. + +"Here, Lila, you can have my red crayon," he said, giving it to her. + +"But what about your rose?" Lila asked. + +"That's okay, I can use another color," Sam said. "Maybe green or yellow." + +Lila took the red crayon and smiled. She was happy again. She thanked Sam and gave him a hug. + +"Thank you, Sam, you are very kind," she said. + +"You're welcome, Lila, you are my friend," he said. + +They replaced their crayons and kept drawing. They had fun with all the colors. They did not care if their crayons were dry or wet. They only cared about each other. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. But they did not like the big dog that sometimes came to the park. The big dog was loud and fast and chased them. They were frightened of the big dog. + +One day, they saw the big dog again. It was barking and running towards them. Tom and Lily ran to the bench and tried to seat on it. But the bench was too high for them. They could not reach it. They looked for help, but no one was near. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. "The big dog is coming!" + +Then they heard a voice. It was Sam, their big brother. He was coming from the school. He saw the big dog and ran to Tom and Lily. He picked them up and put them on the bench. He stood in front of them and faced the big dog. + +"Go away!" he shouted. "Leave my brother and sister alone!" + +The big dog stopped and looked at Sam. Sam was not frightened. He was brave and strong. The big dog turned and ran away. Tom and Lily hugged Sam and thanked him. + +"Thank you, Sam!" they said. "You saved us from the big dog!" + +Sam smiled and hugged them back. He said, "You're welcome, Tom and Lily. I love you. I will always protect you. That's my promise." +Tom and Mia are best friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. One day, they bring a big red ball to the park. They throw the ball to each other and have fun. + +But then, a big dog comes to the park. The dog sees the ball and runs after it. The dog catches the ball in his mouth and runs away. Tom and Mia are sad. They want their ball back. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Tom shouts to the dog. "Give it back!" + +But the dog does not listen. He runs faster and faster. He goes behind a big tree and vanishes. Tom and Mia cannot see him anymore. + +"Where did he go?" Mia asks. "Maybe he went home with our ball." + +Tom and Mia are worried. They love their ball. They look for the dog and the ball. They look behind the tree, under the bench, in the bushes. But they cannot find them. + +They are about to give up when they hear a bark. They turn around and see the dog. He is wagging his tail and holding the ball in his mouth. He drops the ball at their feet and licks their faces. + +"Wow, he brought our ball back!" Tom says. "He is a good dog!" + +Mia agrees. She pets the dog and says, "Thank you, dog. You are amazing!" + +The dog barks happily. He likes Tom and Mia. They play with him and the ball for a while. Then they say goodbye and go home. They are happy. They have their ball and a new friend. +Lily and Ben were playing in the sand by the sea. They made a big castle with towers and walls and a moat. They used shells and stones and sticks to decorate it. They were very proud of their castle. + +"Look at our castle, Mom!" Lily shouted. "It's the best castle ever!" + +Mom smiled and took a picture of them. "It's very beautiful, my loves. But it's almost time to go home. Why don't you rest for a while and have some water and a snack?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They were tired from playing so hard. They sat down on a blanket and drank some water. Mom gave them some crackers and cheese. They ate them happily. + +"Mom, can I have some salt for my cheese?" Ben asked. He liked salt very much. + +"Sure, honey. Here you go. But don't put too much, or it will be too salty." Mom said. She handed him a small shaker of salt. + +Ben sprinkled some salt on his cheese. He took a big bite. He made a funny face. + +"Yuck! This is not salt! This is sand!" He spat out the cheese. + +Lily and Mom laughed. They looked at the shaker. It was full of sand. Someone had switched the salt with the sand. + +"Who did this?" Ben asked. He was not happy. + +They looked around. They saw a naughty boy running away with a big grin. He had taken their salt and left them his sand. + +"It was him!" Lily said. She pointed at the boy. + +"Hey, give us back our salt!" Ben shouted. He got up and ran after the boy. + +Lily and Mom followed him. They wanted their salt back too. + +The end. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toys on the carpet. They have cars, dolls, blocks and books. They share their toys and have fun. But sometimes they want the same toy and they fight. + +One day, Anna and Ben both want the red car. It is their favorite car. It can go fast and make noises. Anna says, "I want the red car. It is mine." Ben says, "No, I want the red car. It is mine." They pull the car from each other and yell. + +Mom hears them and comes to the room. She is angry. She says, "Stop fighting. You have to share your toys. If you can't share, you can't play." She takes the red car and puts it on the shelf. She says, "No one can play with the red car until you say sorry and hug." + +Anna and Ben are sad. They don't want to lose the red car. They look at each other and feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Anna." "Sorry, Ben." They hug and smile. Mom sees them and smiles too. She says, "That's better. Now you can play nicely." She gives them the red car and a kiss. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They play with the red car and their other toys. They take turns and help each other. They say, "Thank you, Mom." "You're welcome, Anna and Ben." They have fun on the carpet. +Lily and Max were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked to look at the magazines that their mom left on the table. The magazines had pictures of animals, cars, and people. Lily and Max liked to point at the pictures and say their names. + +"Look, Max, a dog!" Lily said, holding a magazine. "Woof, woof!" + +"Look, Lily, a car!" Max said, holding another magazine. "Vroom, vroom!" + +They were having fun, until Max saw a picture of a cake. He wanted to eat the cake. He tried to take the magazine from Lily, but she held it tight. + +"Mine!" Lily said. "I saw it first!" + +"No, mine!" Max said. "I want the cake!" + +They pulled and tugged at the magazine, but it did not move. They started to cry and yell. + +"Quit it, you two!" their mom said, coming into the room. She saw the mess of toys and magazines on the floor. She was not happy. "What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" + +"Lily won't share!" Max said. + +"Max took my magazine!" Lily said. + +Their mom sighed. She took the magazine from their hands and put it on the table. She picked up the toys and put them in a box. She said, "You need to learn to share and play nicely. Magazines are not for eating. They are for looking. If you want a cake, you can help me bake one in the kitchen. But first, you need to say sorry to each other." + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They felt bad for making their mom angry. They said, "Sorry, Lily." + +"Sorry, Max." + +They hugged and smiled. They followed their mom to the kitchen. They helped her measure, mix, and pour the ingredients for the cake. They waited for the cake to bake in the oven. They smelled the sweet aroma. They were happy again. They learned their lesson. They decided to share and play nicely from now on. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with water. They have a big bathtub in their bathroom. They fill it with water and bubbles. They put their toys in the water. They have a duck, a boat, a fish and a frog. + +"Look, Lily, I can make the boat go fast!" Max says. He blows on the boat and it moves on the water. + +"Wow, Max, that is fun!" Lily says. She picks up the duck and squeezes it. It makes a quack sound. + +They laugh and splash each other. They have a good time. + +Then, Mom comes in. She has a scale. She says, "It is time to weigh you, kids. You are growing so fast!" + +Lily and Max get out of the water. They dry themselves with towels. They stand on the scale, one by one. + +"Lily, you weigh 15 kilos. You are a big girl!" Mom says. + +"Max, you weigh 16 kilos. You are a big boy!" Mom says. + +Lily and Max are happy. They hug Mom. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you!" + +Mom smiles. She says, "I love you, too. You are good kids. Now, let's go to bed. You need to rest and grow more." +Lily wanted to help her mom make cookies. She saw mom put some things in a big bowl and mix them. Lily thought it looked fun. She climbed on a chair and reached for the bowl. But the chair was wobbly and the bowl was heavy. Lily struggled to hold the bowl and it fell on the floor. The cookie dough splashed everywhere. + +Mom heard the noise and ran to the kitchen. She saw Lily on the floor, covered in dough. She also saw the stove was on and the oven was hot. Mom was scared and angry. She turned off the stove and the oven. She picked up Lily and said, "Lily, what did you do? You could have burned yourself or the house! You can't touch the stove or the oven. They are very hot and dangerous. You have to ask me before you help me. You are ignorant of the rules." + +Lily felt bad. She didn't mean to make a mess or hurt herself. She just wanted to help. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I wanted to make cookies with you. I like cookies. Can we still make cookies?" + +Mom sighed. She was still upset, but she loved Lily. She said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you didn't know. But you have to listen to me and learn the rules. The stove and the oven are not for you. They are for grown-ups. Maybe when you are older, you can help me make cookies. But for now, you can help me clean up the mess. And then we can make some new cookies together. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry. I love you. Can I have a hug?" + +Mom hugged Lily. She said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good girl. But please be careful. Come on, let's clean up and make some cookies." +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They also liked to look for bugs and worms. Sometimes they found snails and slugs. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big snail!" Tom said, holding up his find. "It has a shell and a slimy body. Do you want to see?" + +Lily nodded and came closer. She touched the snail gently. It hid inside its shell. + +"Maybe it is shy," Lily said. "Or maybe it is scared of us." + +Tom shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe we should put it back where we found it." + +He looked around and saw a drain near the fence. It had a metal cover with holes in it. + +"Hey, Lily, do you think the snail lives in the drain?" he asked. + +Lily frowned. "I don't think so, Tom. The drain is dark and wet and dirty. The snail likes the grass and the flowers and the sun." + +Tom was curious. He wanted to see what was in the drain. He lifted the cover and peered inside. He saw water and mud and some rubbish. + +"Wow, look at this, Lily!" he said. "There is a lot of stuff in the drain. Maybe there are more snails and bugs in there." + +Lily shook her head. "No, Tom, don't go near the drain. It is dangerous. You might fall in or get stuck or hurt yourself. Come back here and play with me." + +Tom did not listen. He leaned over the drain and reached his hand inside. He wanted to grab something. He felt something hard and round. He thought it was a ball. + +"Look, Lily, I found a ball!" he said. "It is red and shiny and mighty. Do you want to play with it?" + +Lily did not answer. She was scared. She saw that the ball was not a ball. It was a balloon. And it was not red and shiny and mighty. It was old and dirty and burst. + +"Tom, that is not a ball!" she said. "That is a balloon. And it is broken. Let it go and come back here. Please, Tom, please." + +Tom did not hear her. He pulled the balloon out of the drain. He was happy. He wanted to show Lily his prize. He did not see the hole in the balloon. He did not see the air coming out of it. He did not see the balloon getting smaller and smaller. + +He lifted the balloon up in the air. He smiled. He said, "Look, Lily, look at my ball. It is the best ball ever. It can fly. Watch this." + +He let go of the balloon. He waited for it to fly. He waited for Lily to clap and cheer. He waited for the balloon to come back to him. + +But the balloon did not fly. It did not clap and cheer. It did not come back to him. + +It fell to the ground. It was flat and empty and sad. + +Tom was shocked. He did not understand. He ran to the balloon and picked it up. He tried to blow it up. He tried to make it big and round and mighty again. + +But it did not work. The balloon was broken. It could not be fixed. + +Tom was sad. He cried. He said, "Lily, Lily, what happened to my ball? Why did it not fly? Why did it break? Why, Lily, why?" + +Lily came to him and hugged him. She was sorry. She said, "Tom, Tom, I'm sorry. It was not a ball. It was a balloon. And it was old and burst. It could not fly. It could only fall. I tried to tell you, Tom. I tried to mention it to you. But you did not listen. You did not hear me. You only saw the drain. You only wanted the balloon. You did not want to play with me." + +Tom looked at her. He saw her eyes. They were wet and sad. He felt her arms. They were warm and kind. He felt bad. He said, "Lily, Lily, I'm sorry. I was silly. I did not listen. I did not hear you. I only saw the drain. I only wanted the balloon. I did not want to play with you. But I do, Lily, I do. You are my sister. You are my friend. You are the best. Can we play together? Can we forget the drain? Can we forget the balloon? Can we have fun?" + +Lily smiled. She nodded. She said, "Yes, Tom, yes. We can play together. We can forget the drain. We can forget the balloon. We can have fun. We have each other. We +Lily was a kid who liked to grow things. She had a small garden with flowers and carrots and beans. She watered them every day and watched them grow. She was proud of her garden. + +One day, she saw a large seed in a shiny wrapper. It had a picture of a sunflower on it. Lily wanted to grow a sunflower. She asked her mom if she could plant it. + +"Sure, Lily, you can plant it. But you have to find a good spot for it. Sunflowers need a lot of sun and space. They grow very large and tall," her mom said. + +Lily looked around her garden. She saw a corner that had no plants. It was near the fence and had a lot of sun. She thought it was a good spot for her sunflower. She dug a hole and put the seed in it. She covered it with dirt and watered it. She made a sign that said "Lily's sunflower" and stuck it in the ground. + +Every day, Lily checked on her sunflower. She was happy when she saw a green sprout. She was excited when she saw a yellow bud. She was amazed when she saw a big flower. It was larger than her head. It was taller than her mom. It was the most beautiful sunflower she had ever seen. + +She ran to her mom and hugged her. "Look, mom, look at my sunflower! It grew so large and bright! Thank you for letting me plant it!" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her back. "You're welcome, Lily. You did a great job. You have a green thumb. I'm proud of you and your sunflower." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make loud noises as they zoomed and crashed their cars on the carpet. They pretended they were in a race and tried to go faster and faster. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm going to win!" Lily shouted. + +"No, I'm going to win!" Ben yelled. + +Their mom was in the kitchen, making a cake. She heard their loud voices and smiled. She was happy they were having fun, but she also wanted them to be quiet for a while. She had a surprise for them. + +She finished the cake and put some cream on top. She sprinkled some colorful candies on the cream. She put the cake on a plate and carried it to the living room. + +"Look what I have for you!" she said. + +Lily and Ben stopped playing and looked at the cake. Their eyes widened and their mouths watered. They saw the cream and the candies and they felt very happy. + +"Wow, mom, thank you!" they said. + +They ran to the couch and sat down. Their mom cut two slices of cake and gave them to them. They took big bites and made happy noises. + +"Mmm, this is so good!" Lily said. + +"I love the cream!" Ben said. + +Their mom smiled and sat down with them. She cut a slice for herself and ate it. She enjoyed the cake and the cream, but she also enjoyed the silence. She was glad they liked her surprise, but she also liked that they were not loud anymore. + +She hugged them and said, "I love you, my sweeties." + +They hugged her back and said, "We love you too, mom." +Lily likes music. She likes to sing and dance and clap. She has a music class at school. She goes with her mom and her friends. + +Today, Lily learns a new song. It is about a frog and a duck. The frog says ribbit and the duck says quack. Lily thinks it is funny. She sings and claps with the teacher. She also makes the sounds of the frog and the duck. + +When the song is over, Lily and her friends clap for the teacher. The teacher smiles and says thank you. She says they are very polite. Lily feels happy. She likes to be polite. She likes music class. She gives her mom a hug and says she loves her. +Lila and Ben were twins who loved to play in the snow. They made snowmen, snow angels, and snow forts. One day, they saw a brown reindeer in the woods. They were very excited and wanted to pet it. + +"Hello, reindeer!" Lila said. "You are so pretty and soft. Can we be your friends?" + +The reindeer looked at them with big, sad eyes. It had a hurt leg and could not run or jump. It was alone and scared. + +"Please, don't hurt me," the reindeer said. "I lost my family and my home. The bad men came and took them away. They wanted to eat them and use their fur and horns. I ran away, but I fell and hurt myself. Now I have no one." + +Lila and Ben felt sorry for the reindeer. They did not want to hurt it. They wanted to help it. + +"Don't be sad, reindeer," Ben said. "We will not hurt you. We will help you. We will be your friends. We have a warm house and a big yard. You can stay with us until you get better. Then you can find your family and your home again." + +The reindeer smiled and nodded. It trusted Lila and Ben. They were kind and gentle. They helped the reindeer stand up and walk slowly to their house. They gave it some food and water and a soft blanket. They played with it and talked to it. They made it happy. + +Lila and Ben's parents were surprised to see the reindeer, but they understood. They were proud of their children for being brave and caring. They let the reindeer stay with them until it healed. They also called the animal rescue people to help find the reindeer's family and home. + +The reindeer was grateful to Lila and Ben and their parents. It wept tears of joy when it saw its family and home again. It hugged Lila and Ben and thanked them for saving its life. It said goodbye and promised to visit them again. + +Lila and Ben waved goodbye and smiled. They were happy for the reindeer. They learned that it is good to help others in need. They learned that friendship is a precious gift. They learned that kindness is the best magic. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play pretend. Today, they pretend to be cowboys and cowgirls. They wear hats and boots and scarves. They have toy horses and ropes. + +They go to the park and find a big tree. They tie their horses to the tree. They say, "This is our ranch. We are wealthy cowboys and cowgirls. We have many cows and sheep and chickens." + +They see another boy and girl in the park. They have bikes and balls and dolls. They say, "Hello, do you want to play with us? We are cowboys and cowgirls. We have a ranch in the west." + +The other boy and girl say, "No, thank you. We are not cowboys and cowgirls. We are astronauts. We have a rocket and a moon and a star. We go to space and explore." + +Anna and Ben say, "Wow, that sounds fun. Can we see your rocket and your moon and your star?" + +The other boy and girl say, "Sure, come with us. We will show you our space station. You can try our helmets and suits and gloves." + +Anna and Ben untie their horses and follow the other boy and girl. They leave their hats and boots and scarves by the tree. They say, "Maybe we can be cowboys and cowgirls and astronauts. We can have a ranch in the west and a space station in the sky." +Sara was very happy. She was going to see a new place with her mom and dad. They got on a big bus with other people. The bus driver said they were going on a tour. Sara liked to look out the window and see new things. + +But then the bus stopped. The bus driver said there was a problem. They had to wait for another bus to come. Sara felt sad and bored. She wanted to see more new things. She did not like to wait. She started to cry. + +Her mom and dad hugged her. They said it was okay. They said they would see more new things soon. They said they loved her. They comforted her. Sara felt better. She stopped crying. She smiled. + +She saw a big dog outside the bus. The dog was friendly. It wagged its tail. It came to the bus window. Sara liked the dog. She said hello to the dog. The dog licked the window. Sara laughed. She felt happy again. + +She forgot about the problem. She enjoyed the dog. She waited for the new bus. She was ready for the tour. She was excited to see new things. She was glad she had her mom and dad. They were her comfort. +Lily likes to play with her toys. She has a lot of toys, but her favorite is a big mug. The mug is blue and has a picture of a cat on it. Lily likes to pretend that the mug is a house for her dolls. + +One day, Lily finds a sticker in her drawer. The sticker is shiny and has a star on it. Lily thinks that the sticker would look nice on her mug. She peels off the sticker and tries to attach it to the mug. But the sticker does not stick. It falls off and lands on the floor. + +Lily is sad. She wants the sticker to stay on the mug. She tries again and again, but the sticker does not stick. She starts to cry. She does not understand why the sticker does not work. + +Mom hears Lily crying. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the sticker and the mug. She hugs Lily and says, "Don't cry, sweetie. The sticker does not stick because the mug is smooth and hard. The sticker needs something rough and soft to stick to. Like this." Mom takes the sticker and attaches it to Lily's shirt. The sticker stays on and sparkles. + +Lily smiles. She likes the sticker on her shirt. She says, "Thank you, Mom. You are smart and kind." Mom says, "You're welcome, Lily. You are brave and patient. You tried hard to make the sticker work. Sometimes things don't work the way we want, but we can find other ways to have fun. Do you want to play with me?" Lily nods. She gives Mom the mug and says, "This is your house. I am your neighbor. Let's have a tea party." Mom and Lily play with the mug and the dolls. They have a lot of fun. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She saw many flowers and bugs. She liked to smell the flowers and watch the bugs. But she did not like the ants. She thought they were dull and ugly. She wanted to get rid of them. + +She found a bottle of spray in the shed. She did not know what it was for. She thought it was water. She decided to spray the ants with it. She thought it would make them go away. She did not know it was poison. + +She sprayed the ants with the bottle. The ants got sick and died. Lily felt happy. She thought she did a good thing. But then she saw a bird. The bird was hungry. It saw the ants. It thought they were food. It ate the ants. + +But the ants were poison. The bird got sick and died too. Lily saw the bird. She felt sad and scared. She realized she did a bad thing. She wished she did not spray the ants. She wished she left them alone. She learned a lesson. She learned to be kind to all living things. She learned to not use things she did not know. She learned to respect the garden. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. They have many toys and books. They also have a big map on the wall. The map shows many places. Sara and Ben want to see them all. + +One day, Sara and Ben plan to go to university. They think university is a place where people learn many things. They want to learn many things too. They pack their bags with books and toys. They say goodbye to their mom and dad. They walk to the bus stop. + +But when they get to the bus stop, they see a problem. The bus is very big. The bus driver is very tall. The bus driver says, "Where are you going, kids? You are too small to ride the bus alone. You need an adult with you." + +Sara and Ben are sad. They do not have an adult with them. They do not know what to do. They sit on the bench and cry. + +A lady sees them crying. She is kind. She asks them, "Why are you crying, kids? Do you need help?" + +Sara and Ben tell her their plan. They tell her they want to go to university. They tell her they want to learn many things. + +The lady smiles. She says, "That is a very unusual plan. University is not for kids. University is for grown-ups. Kids go to school. School is also a place where you can learn many things. Do you go to school?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They go to school. They like school. But they also want to see the map places. + +The lady says, "I understand. I also like to see new places. But you cannot go to university now. You have to wait until you are older. Then you can choose what you want to learn and where you want to go. For now, you have to go back to your mom and dad. They must be worried about you. I can take you back to them. Do you want that?" + +Sara and Ben think. They are still curious about university. But they also miss their mom and dad. They do not want them to be worried. They agree to go back with the lady. They thank her for being nice. They hope to see her again. + +The lady takes them back to their home. Their mom and dad are very happy to see them. They hug them and kiss them. They ask them where they went. Sara and Ben tell them their plan. Their mom and dad laugh. They say, "That is a very unusual plan. But we are proud of you for being brave and smart. Maybe one day you will go to university. But for now, you have to stay with us.

They do not want to share. + +"Give me your truck, Sam!" Tim says. + +"No, give me your motorcycle, Tim!" Sam says. + +They pull and tug at each other's toys. They get angry and yell. Then, Tim does something bad. He bites Sam's arm. + +"Ow, ow, ow, Tim, that hurts!" Sam cries. + +He drops the motorcycle and holds his arm. He has a mark from Tim's teeth. He runs to Mom. + +"Mom, Mom, Tim bit me!" Sam says. + +Mom hears Sam and comes to see. She sees the bite and the toys on the floor. She is not happy. + +"Tim, why did you bite Sam?" Mom asks. + +Tim looks down. He feels sorry. He knows biting is bad. + +"I wanted his truck. He wanted my motorcycle. We did not share. I was mad." Tim says. + +Mom shakes her head. She picks up Tim and Sam. She hugs them. + +"Boys, boys, you are brothers. You should love each other, not bite each other. Biting is not nice. It hurts. You should say sorry and share your toys. You have many toys. You can play with both the truck and the motorcycle. They are both fun. You can take turns. You can be friends." Mom says. + +Tim and Sam listen to Mom. They feel bad for biting and fighting. They say sorry to each other. They hug and kiss. They share their toys. They play nicely.

She named it Robby. + +One day, it was gloomy outside. The sky was gray and it rained a lot. Anna could not go to the park or ride her bike. She was bored and sad. + +She asked her mom, "Can I play with Robby in the living room?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, but be careful. Don't break anything or make a mess." + +Anna was happy. She took Robby to the living room and turned it on. She said, "Hello, Robby. Do you want to play with me?" + +Robby said, "Yes, Anna. I want to play with you. What do you want to do?" + +Anna thought for a moment. She said, "Can you request a song for me? I want to hear some music." + +Robby said, "Sure, Anna. I can request a song for you. What song do you like?" + +Anna said, "I like the song about the wheels on the bus. Can you request that song?" + +Robby said, "Okay, Anna. I will request that song." He pressed a button and the song started to play. + +Anna and Robby sang along and danced. They had fun and forgot about the gloomy weather. They were happy. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a big fountain. It has water that goes up and down. They want to go near it. + +"Look, Lily, water!" Tom says. He runs to the fountain. He wears a suit. His mom gave it to him for his birthday. It is blue and has buttons. + +"Wait, Tom, don't get wet!" Lily says. She wears a dress. It is pink and has flowers. She likes it very much. + +But Tom does not listen. He goes into the fountain. He feels the water on his face and hands. He laughs. He thinks it is fun. He splashes the water with his feet. He is wild. + +"Tom, come back!" Lily says. She is worried. She does not want Tom to ruin his suit. She does not want him to get sick. She does not want mom to be angry. + +But Tom does not hear her. He is too busy. He plays with the water. He does not see that his suit is wet. He does not feel that he is cold. He does not care that he is soaked. + +Lily sighs. She does not know what to do. She hopes that Tom will stop soon. She hopes that mom will not be mad. She hopes that Tom will be okay. She sits on a bench. She waits for Tom. She is sad. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with many pretty flowers. Lily wanted to pick some flowers to take home. Tom said, "No, Lily, don't pick the flowers. They are not ours. They belong to the tree and the bees and the birds. If you pick them, they will die and the tree will be sad." + +But Lily did not listen to Tom. She said, "I don't care. I want the flowers. They are so pretty and smell so good. I will pick the best ones and make a wide crown for my head." She ran to the tree and started to pick the flowers. Tom followed her and tried to stop her, but she pushed him away. + +Soon, Lily had a wide crown of flowers on her head. She felt very happy and proud. She said to Tom, "Look at me, Tom. I am the queen of the flowers. Don't I look pretty?" Tom looked at her and shook his head. He said, "No, Lily, you don't look pretty. You look selfish and mean. You hurt the tree and the flowers and the animals. You are not a good friend." + +Lily did not like what Tom said. She felt angry and hurt. She said, "You are just jealous, Tom. You are not my friend anymore. Go away and leave me alone." She turned away from him and walked to the swings. Tom felt sad and lonely. He walked to the bench and sat down. + +But then, something bad happened. A big wind came and blew Lily's crown off her head. The flowers flew away and landed on the ground. They were broken and wilted. Lily cried and ran to get them, but it was too late. They were gone. She looked at her empty hands and felt very sorry. She wished she had listened to Tom and left the flowers alone. She looked for Tom, but he was not there. He had gone home. She felt very alone and sad. She learned a hard lesson that day. She learned that picking flowers is not nice, and that being greedy and rude is not pretty. She learned that she should respect nature and be a good friend. She hoped that Tom would forgive her and be her friend again. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big orange ball on the grass. Lily wants to play with the ball. + +"Can we borrow the ball?" Lily asks Ben. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. Maybe the ball belongs to someone else," Ben says. + +They run to the ball and start to kick it. They have fun. The ball bounces high and far. They laugh and chase the ball. + +But then they hear a voice. It is a boy. He is angry. + +"Hey, that's my ball! Give it back!" the boy shouts. + +Lily and Ben stop. They feel scared. They did not know the ball was his. + +"Sorry, we did not know. We just wanted to play," Lily says. + +The boy runs to them and grabs the ball. He looks at them with a mean face. + +"Next time, ask before you borrow. This is my ball. Go away!" he says. + +Lily and Ben feel sad. They say sorry again and walk away.

She is proud of herself. + +But then, a boy comes to the couch. He is bigger than Anna. He has a rude face. He snatches the book from Anna's hands. + +"Hey, that's my book!" he says. "You can't read it. It's too hard for you. You are a baby." + +He laughs and runs away with the book. Anna feels sad and angry. She wants her book back. She looks at her mom. + +"Mom, he took my book. He was rude. He called me a baby. I want my book back," she says. + +Her mom hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, honey. He was very rude.

OK?" + +Anna nods and says, "OK, mom. Let's go." + +They get up and look for the boy. They see him at another couch. He is not reading the book. He is throwing it in the air and catching it.

She grabs the book from his hands. She holds it tight. She says, "No, it's my book. I found it first. I was reading it. You can't have it. You go away." + +The boy is surprised and angry. He tries to get the book back, but Anna is strong. She does not let go. She says, "Stop it. You are rude. You are not nice. You should say sorry." + +The boy does not say sorry. He says, "You are mean. You are a baby. You can't read." + +He pushes Anna and runs away. Anna falls to the floor. She hurts her knee. She cries. Her mom helps her up. She says, "Are you OK, honey?" + +Anna says, "Yes, mom. I'm OK. But he was rude. He pushed me. He hurt me. He hurt the book." + +Her mom says, "I know, honey. He was very rude. He should not push you. He should not hurt you. He should not hurt the book. He should say sorry. But you were very brave. You stood up for yourself. You got your book back. You reached your goal. You read the book. I'm proud of you." + +Anna smiles and says, "Thank you, mom. I'm proud of me too. Can we read the book again?" + +Her mom says, "Of course, honey. Let's read the book again. Let's go to another couch. A nice couch. A couch where no one is rude." + +They go to another couch. A nice couch. A couch where no one is rude. They sit down and read the book again.

Please, please, please!" she asked. + +"Of course, you can, sweetie. It's very nice of Ben to invite you. What do you want to give him as a present?" her mom said. + +Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to give Ben something special. Something that he would like and that would show him that they belong together as friends. She had an idea. She ran to her room and got her favorite book. It was a book about dinosaurs. Ben loved dinosaurs too. + +She wrapped the book in colorful paper and put a bow on it. She wrote "To Ben, from Lily" on a card. She was ready to go to the party. + +She and her mom got in the car and drove to Ben's house. Lily was very excited. She knocked on the door and Ben opened it.

Lila asks. + +"Maybe a polar bear or a penguin," Sam says. + +They want to see inside the igloo. They walk closer and closer. They hear a noise. It sounds like a growl. + +"Uh-oh," Lila says. + +They see a big white head poke out of the igloo. It has black eyes and a black nose. It is a polar bear! + +"Run!" Sam says. + +They turn around and run as fast as they can. The polar bear chases them. It is angry and hungry. + +They see their mom and dad. They are sitting on a bench. They are watching the twins. + +"Help!" Lila and Sam shout. + +Mom and dad see the polar bear. They are scared too. They grab the twins and run to the car. They drive away from the park. + +The polar bear stops at the edge of the park. It goes back to the igloo. It is its home. It is an ancient igloo. It has been there for a long time. It likes to watch the people who come to the park. Sometimes, it likes to play with them. But sometimes, it likes to scare them. It is a naughty polar bear. +Lily was a girl who liked to build. She had many blocks of different colors and shapes. She could build towers, bridges, houses, and animals. She was very proud of her creations. + +But Lily was also messy. She did not like to put her blocks away when she was done. She left them on the floor, on the table, on the couch, and sometimes even on the bed. Her mom and dad were not happy. They told her to clean up her blocks every day. But Lily did not listen. She said, "I will do it later." + +One day, Lily had a friend over. His name was Ben. He also liked to build. They played with the blocks together. They built a big castle with a moat and a drawbridge. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, it was time for Ben to go home. Lily said, "Bye, Ben. Thank you for playing with me." Ben said, "Bye, Lily. You have a lot of blocks. But you should clean them up. They are everywhere. You might trip and fall." + +Lily did not think so. She said, "No, I won't. I know where they are. I will do it later." Ben shrugged and left. + +Lily went to the kitchen to get a snack. She was hungry. She did not see the block on the floor. She stepped on it and slipped. She fell down and hurt her knee. She cried out loud. + +Her mom and dad came running. They saw the block and the blood. They were worried. They hugged Lily and said, "Oh, Lily. Are you okay? We told you to clean up your blocks. They are dangerous. You could have hurt yourself badly." + +Lily felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. You were right. I should have cleaned up my blocks. I will do it now. Can you help me?" + +Her mom and dad smiled and said, "Of course, we will help you. We love you, Lily. But next time, please listen to us. And to your friend. He was right too." + +Lily nodded and said, "I will, mom and dad. And I will say sorry to Ben too. He is a good friend." + +They went to the living room and cleaned up the blocks together. Lily learned her lesson. She was still a girl who liked to build.

"It does look like a bunny. It is so cute. I wish I could touch it." + +They keep walking and see more clouds. They see a cloud that looks like a fish, a cloud that looks like a star, and a cloud that looks like a flower. They point and laugh at the clouds. They have fun. + +But then they see a cloud that is different. It is not white and fluffy. It is brown and dark. It looks like a monster. It has a big mouth and sharp teeth. It is scary. + +"Look, Mia, look!" Tim says. "I see a cloud in the sky. It is brown and dark. It looks like a monster." + +"Oh, Tim, you are right!" Mia says. "It does look like a monster. It is so scary. I don't like it." + +They feel afraid. They don't want to play anymore. They want to go back to their mom and dad. They turn around and run down the hill. They hold hands and shout for help. + +"Mom! Dad! Help!" they cry. "There is a monster in the sky!" + +Their mom and dad hear them and come to them. They hug them and calm them down. They look at the sky and see the cloud. + +"Don't worry, Tim and Mia," their mom says. "It is not a monster. It is just a cloud. It is brown and dark because it has rain in it. It will go away soon." + +"Really, mom?" Tim asks. + +"Really, dad?" Mia asks. + +"Really, my loves," their dad says. "It is just a cloud. It can't hurt you. It is just water and air.

Sami asked. + +"A rainbow is a big, pretty thing with many colors. It comes after the rain. Mama told me that God makes rainbows to show us His love. She said we can pray to God and thank Him for the rainbows." Mira explained. + +"Really? Can we pray now?" Sami asked. + +"Sure, Sami. Let's hold hands and close our eyes." Mira said.

They saw a big bird with many feathers. The bird was on a branch and looked at them. + +"Hello, bird!" Sara said. "You are pretty. Can we touch your feathers?" + +The bird did not say anything. It was thoughtful. It did not like children. It wanted to be alone. + +Ben reached out his hand to the bird. He wanted to feel the feathers. He was curious. + +"Ben, no!" Sara said. "The bird may not like it. It may bite you." + +But Ben did not listen. He touched the feathers. The bird was angry. It opened its beak and bit Ben's finger. Ben cried out loud. He felt pain. + +Sara ran to Ben. She saw blood on his finger. She was scared. She hugged Ben and tried to help him. + +The bird flew away. It did not care. It was happy to be free. + +Sara and Ben shivered. They were cold and hurt. They wanted to go home. They looked for their mom. But their mom was not there. She had gone to the store.

"I want to go in the balloon and see the land from up high." + +"Me too," Ben said. "Maybe we can ask the man to let us in." + +They ran to the balloon. The man was friendly. He smiled and said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want to see the balloon?" + +"Yes, please," Lila and Ben said. + +"Okay, but you have to be careful. The balloon can rise very high and fast. You have to hold on tight and listen to me. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, we understand," Lila and Ben said. + +The man helped them in the basket. He gave them each a hat and a whistle. He said, "These are for safety. If you need help, blow the whistle and I will hear you. And the hat will keep you warm and protect you from the sun." + +"Thank you," Lila and Ben said. + +The man started the fire. The balloon began to rise. Lila and Ben were excited. They saw the park, the trees, the houses, the cars, and the people. They looked like toys. + +"This is amazing," Lila said. + +"I love it," Ben said. + +They rose higher and higher. They saw the clouds, the birds, the mountains, and the river. They looked like paintings. + +"This is beautiful," Lila said. + +"I wonder what else we can see," Ben said. + +They rose higher and higher. They saw the sun, the moon, the stars, and the other balloons. They looked like jewels. + +"This is magical," Lila said. + +"I wish we could stay here forever," Ben said. + +But then, something bad happened. The balloon hit a strong wind. It shook and spun. Lila and Ben were scared. They held on tight and blew their whistles. + +"Help, help!" they cried. + +The man heard them. He said, "Don't worry, I'm here. I will bring you down. Just stay calm and trust me." + +He turned off the fire. He pulled a rope. The balloon began to fall. Lila and Ben were still scared. They saw the land coming closer and closer. + +"Will we be okay?" Lila asked. + +"I hope so," Ben said. + +The balloon landed on a soft field. The man jumped out. He hugged Lila and Ben. + +"You are okay, you are okay," he said. "I'm sorry, that was a bad wind. It was not supposed to happen. Are you hurt?" + +"No, we are not hurt," Lila and Ben said. + +"Thank you, thank you," the man said. "You are very brave and smart. You did everything right.

"These are our fish!" + +"No, no, dog!" Tom cries. "We need the money!" + +But the dog is strong. Ben and Tom are weak. The dog pushes them away. It takes the basket. It runs away with the fish. + +Ben and Tom are sad. They have no fish. They have no money. They go back to the lake. They try to catch more fish. But they are tired. They catch only a few fish. + +They sell the few fish to the people in the town. They get a little money for the fish. They buy some bread and milk. They go home. + +They tell their mom what happened. Their mom hugs them. She says, "I'm sorry, my boys. You did your best. Don't worry.

Timmy got very excited and said, "Yes, let's go!" + +When they got to the stadium, Timmy was amazed by how big it was. He had never seen so many people in one place before. Billy bought them some popcorn and they sat down to watch the game. Timmy was cheering for the blue team, but Billy was cheering for the red team. + +After the game, Timmy said to Billy, "I didn't know there were so many people who liked soccer!" Billy laughed and said, "Don't be ignorant, Timmy. Soccer is a very popular sport around the world." Timmy nodded and said, "I want to play soccer every day now!" +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play outside in the field near his house. One day, he was running around and he realized that the ground was very rough. He looked down and saw lots of rocks and sticks on the ground. + +Timmy decided to pick up all the rocks and sticks to make the field smoother. He worked very hard and soon the field was much nicer to run on. Timmy felt very proud of himself for making the field better. + +From that day on, Timmy loved playing in the field even more. He realized that sometimes hard work can make things better. And he was happy to have a fun and safe place to play. The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were knights and princesses. They had a big stick for a sword and a blanket for a cape. + +"Look, Ben, there is a dragon!" Lily said, pointing to a big rock. "We have to fight it and save the castle!" + +Ben nodded and ran towards the rock. He waved his stick and shouted, "Go away, dragon! You are bad and scary!" + +The rock did not move. It was not a dragon. It was just a rock. + +But Lily and Ben did not know that. They thought they were very brave and strong. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. It was not from the rock. It was from behind them. They turned around and saw a real dragon. It had green scales, yellow eyes, and red fire. It was angry and hungry. + +Lily and Ben were very scared. They dropped their stick and blanket and ran to their mom. She was sitting on a bench, reading a book. She was alert and saw the dragon too. + +"Mom, mom, help us! There is a dragon!" Lily and Ben cried. + +Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. I will protect you. We have to leave the park now. The dragon is not nice. It wants to eat us." + +Mom took Lily and Ben by the hand and walked fast to the car. The dragon followed them, roaring and spitting fire. But it could not catch them. They were too quick. + +They got in the car and drove away. The dragon was sad and lonely. It wanted to play with Lily and Ben. It did not want to eat them. It was just a friendly dragon. But Lily and Ben did not know that. They thought they were very lucky and safe. +Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat rice for dinner. But there was no rice in the house. Mom said, "I will go to the shop and buy some rice. You stay here and be good. I will return soon." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They played with their toys and waited for Mom. But Mom did not return soon. The sky became dark and the wind became loud. Lily and Tom heard strange noises outside. They were scared. + +They ran to the door and looked for Mom. But they did not see Mom. They saw a big bear. The bear saw them too. The bear was hungry. He wanted to eat Lily and Tom for dinner. + +Lily and Tom screamed. They tried to close the door. But the bear was stronger. He pushed the door open and entered the house. He roared and chased Lily and Tom. + +Lily and Tom ran to their room and hid under the bed. They hoped Mom would return and save them. But Mom did not return. The bear found them and ate them. The end. +Tom likes to read books. He has many books in his room. He reads about animals, cars, space and more. He learns new things from books. Books are useful. + +One day, Tom goes to the library with his mom. He wants to find more books to read. He sees a big shelf with many books. He runs to the shelf and picks a book. It has a picture of a dinosaur on the cover. Tom loves dinosaurs. + +"Mom, can I read this book?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, Tom. But you have to follow the order of the library. You have to take the book to the desk and show your card. Then you can borrow the book for two weeks. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +"Yes, Mom. I understand. I have my card in my pocket. Come on, let's go to the desk." Tom says. + +Tom and Mom go to the desk. Tom shows his card and the book to the lady. The lady scans the card and the book. She gives Tom a receipt. + +"Here you go, Tom. You can read this book until July 15. Please return it on time. Enjoy your book." The lady says. + +"Thank you, lady. I will read this book every day. I will return it on time. Bye." Tom says. + +Tom and Mom leave the library. Tom is happy. He has a new book to read. He can't wait to learn more about dinosaurs. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the soil and make mud pies. They found some stones and sticks and put them on top of their pies. They pretended they were cakes and cookies. + +"Look, I made a chocolate cake!" Lily said, pointing to her pie with a thick stick. + +"I made a lemon cookie!" Ben said, showing his pie with a yellow stone. + +They were very proud of their creations. They wanted to show them to their mom. They ran inside the house and called for her. + +"Mom, mom, come and see what we made!" they shouted. + +Mom came out of the kitchen and smiled. She followed them to the garden. She saw their mud pies and their decorations. + +"Wow, you made some beautiful cakes and cookies!" she said. "They look very yummy!" + +She bent down and pretended to take a bite of Lily's cake. She made a funny face and said, "Mmm, delicious!" + +She did the same with Ben's cookie. She made another funny face and said, "Mmm, sour!" + +Ben and Lily laughed. They were happy that mom liked their pies. + +They decided to leave their pies in the sun to dry. They went back inside the house to wash their hands and have a real snack. + +But they forgot that it was a very hot day. The sun was shining brightly and the air was warm. The mud pies started to melt. The soil became wet and sticky. The stones and sticks fell off. The pies turned into puddles. + +When Ben and Lily came back to the garden, they were shocked. They saw their pies were gone. They only saw some water and dirt. + +"What happened to our cakes and cookies?" Ben asked. + +"They melted!" Lily said. + +They were sad. They worked hard to make their pies. They wanted to play with them some more. + +Mom came out and saw their faces. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my sweeties. You can make new pies tomorrow. And maybe we can use some real chocolate and lemon to make them taste better!" + +Ben and Lily smiled. They liked that idea. They thanked mom and gave her a kiss. They learned that mud pies don't last long in the sun. But they also learned that mom always has a solution. They were happy again. +Lily and Ben are playful twins who love to bounce. They have a big red ball that they can bounce high in the air. One day, they decide to bounce their ball near the barn, where the animals live. + +They bounce their ball over the fence and into the barn. They see a cow, a pig, a horse and a sheep. The animals are curious and come to see the ball. The cow tries to bounce the ball with her nose, but it is too hard. The pig tries to bounce the ball with his snout, but it is too slippery. The horse tries to bounce the ball with his hoof, but it is too loud. The sheep tries to bounce the ball with her wool, but it is too soft. + +Lily and Ben laugh and clap as they watch the animals try to bounce the ball. They think the animals are funny and cute. They go inside the barn and share their ball with the animals. They take turns bouncing the ball and playing with the animals. They have a lot of fun in the barn. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to climb the trees and slide down the hill. Ben had a big pocket on his shirt. He liked to put things in it. He found a shiny stone, a feather and a pine cone. He put them in his pocket. + +"Look, Mia, what I have!" he said, showing her his pocket. + +"Wow, Ben, you have many things!" Mia said. "Can I see them?" + +Ben nodded and gave her his pocket. Mia looked at the stone, the feather and the pine cone. She liked the stone the most. It was smooth and sparkly. + +"Where did you find this stone, Ben?" she asked. + +"I found it near the old wall. It was hiding under some leaves," Ben said. + +Mia looked at the old wall. It was very big and had many cracks. It looked ancient. + +"Maybe this stone is ancient too," she said. "Maybe it was part of the wall a long time ago." + +"Really?" Ben said. "That's cool. Do you think it has magic?" + +Mia shrugged. She didn't know. She gave the stone back to Ben. + +"Thank you for letting me see your things, Ben," she said. + +"You're welcome, Mia," Ben said. "Do you want to play some more?" + +Mia nodded. They put the pocket back on Ben's shirt. They ran to the swings and had more fun. They liked to wear pockets and find ancient things. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +They took off their shoes and started to climb. Tom went first and Lily followed. They were very happy and laughed. They reached a high branch and looked around. They saw birds, clouds and flowers. + +"Look, Lily, I found a poem!" Tom said. He saw a piece of paper stuck on the branch. He took it and read it. It was a poem about the sun and the moon. It had fancy words that Tom and Lily did not know. + +"Wow, Tom, that is a nice poem. Can I see it?" Lily asked. She reached out her hand to get the paper. But she slipped and lost her balance. She screamed and fell down. + +"Help, help, I'm falling!" Lily cried. Tom was scared and dropped the paper. He saw Lily falling and grabbed her hand. He held her tight and pulled her up. He rescued her from falling. + +"Lily, are you okay?" Tom asked. He hugged her and checked her for hurts. Lily was shaken but not hurt. She hugged him back and thanked him. + +"Tom, you are my hero. You rescued me. Thank you so much." Lily said. She smiled and kissed his cheek. + +Tom blushed and smiled. He was glad that Lily was okay. He forgot about the poem and the fancy words. He only cared about Lily and their friendship. + +They climbed down the tree and put on their shoes. They held hands and walked back to the park. They decided to play something safer and funnier. They were happy and loved. +On Sunday, Anna and Ben like to pretend. They pretend to be different animals and make funny noises. Anna pretends to be a cat and Ben pretends to be a dog. They chase each other around the house and jump on the sofa. They have a lot of fun. + +But after a while, they get tired and hungry. They go to the kitchen and ask Mom for some food. Mom gives them some bread and cheese and some juice. They eat and drink and say thank you. Mom tells them to wash their hands and faces. + +Then they go to their room and pretend some more. They pretend to be pirates and find a treasure. They pretend to be astronauts and fly to the moon. They pretend to be superheroes and save the world. They use their toys and their imagination. + +But soon they get very sleepy. They yawn and rub their eyes. They put away their toys and get ready for bed. Mom comes and reads them a story. They snuggle under the covers and listen. They say good night and I love you. They close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of their adventures. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide and swing and run. Lily has a new hat. It is pink and soft and has a big flower on it. She shows it to Ben and says, "Look at my new hat! Do you like it?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, it is very pretty. Can I try it on?" Lily says, "OK, but be careful. It is new and I don't want it to get dirty or torn." She takes off her hat and gives it to Ben. Ben puts it on his head and smiles. He says, "Now I have a new hat too!" + +They run to the slide and take turns sliding down. Ben goes first and slides very fast. He laughs and says, "Whee! This is fun!" Lily goes next and slides slower. She says, "I like to slide, but not too fast. It makes me dizzy." Ben says, "Come on, Lily, slide faster! It is more fun!" + +They slide again and again. Ben slides faster and faster. Lily slides slower and slower. The last time, Ben slides so fast that he loses his balance and falls off the slide. He lands on the grass and rolls over. He says, "Ouch! That hurt!" He feels his head and sees that Lily's hat is gone. He says, "Oh no! Where is Lily's hat?" + +Lily runs to him and says, "Ben, are you OK? Did you hurt yourself?" She sees that he has a scratch on his ear. She says, "You have a boo-boo on your ear. We need to get a band-aid." She looks around and sees her hat on a tree branch. She says, "There is my hat! It flew off your head when you fell. How can we get it down?" + +Ben says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to lose your hat. It was too big for me. Maybe we can ask someone to help us get it down." He stands up and holds his ear. He says, "Can you hold my hand? My ear hurts." Lily says, "OK, I will hold your hand. And don't worry, I'm not mad at you. You are still my friend." They walk to the bench where their mom is sitting. They tell her what happened and ask for her help. Mom says, "Don't worry, kids. I'm glad you are OK. Let's get a band-aid for your ear, Ben, and then we can get your hat, Lily. It is a very nice hat, but not as nice as your friendship." She hugs them and smiles. They hug her back and say, "We love you, Mom." +Sara liked to create things with her crayons and paper. She made pictures of her family, her friends, and her toys. She was very proud of her creations and showed them to everyone. + +One day, she was drawing a big rainbow on the floor, when her brother Tom came in. He was older and bigger than Sara, and he did not like her drawings. He said they were silly and ugly, and he stepped on them with his shoes. + +Sara was very sad and angry. She shouted at Tom and tried to push him away, but he was too strong. He pushed her back and made her fall. She hurt her knee and it started to bleed. She cried and cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Sara's knee and her ruined drawings. She hugged Sara and said, "I'm sorry, sweetie. Let me clean your knee and make it better. You are very brave and talented. Your drawings are beautiful and I love them." + +She took Sara to the bathroom and put a band-aid on her knee. She made her comfortable on the couch and gave her a juice and a cookie. She also gave her a new pack of crayons and paper, and said, "You can create anything you want, Sara. Don't let anyone stop you. You have a wonderful imagination and a big heart." + +Sara smiled and thanked Mom. She felt better and happier. She started to create a new picture, this time of Mom and her, with a big heart and a rainbow. She hoped Tom would see it and be sorry for what he did. She also hoped he would learn to be nice and to create his own things, instead of destroying hers. +Sara and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they wanted to play with the same one. It was a red car that made noises and lights. Sara grabbed the car first, but Ben tried to take it from her. + +"Mine!" Sara shouted. "No, mine!" Ben yelled. They pulled and pushed the car until it broke. The noises and lights stopped. Sara and Ben looked at the broken car and cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came to their room. She saw the broken car and the mess. She was very angry. "What did you do?" she asked. "You broke your toy and made a mess. You are very naughty!" + +Sara and Ben were scared of Mom. They tried to say sorry, but Mom did not listen. She slapped them both on their hands. It hurt a lot. Sara and Ben cried more. + +Mom took the broken car and threw it in the trash. She said they could not play with any toys for a week. She turned off the lamp and left them in the dark. Sara and Ben hugged each other and sobbed. They wished they had shared the car and played nicely. They felt very sad and sorry. +Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat their meal. But Mom said they had to wait. There was a delay. The oven was broken. Mom had to cook the food in a different way. + +Lily and Ben did not like to wait. They felt grumpy. They asked Mom how long the delay was. Mom said it was not too long. She said they could play a game while they waited. She gave them some crayons and paper. + +Lily and Ben decided to draw their meal. They drew pizza and salad and cake. They used many colors. They showed Mom their pictures. Mom smiled and said they looked yummy. She said the food was almost ready. + +Lily and Ben were happy. They cleaned up their crayons and paper. They set the table with plates and forks and napkins. They washed their hands and sat down. Mom brought the food to the table. It smelled good. It looked good. It tasted good. + +Lily and Ben thanked Mom for the meal. They said they were sorry for being grumpy. Mom said it was okay. She said she was proud of them for being patient. She said they could have some cake for dessert. Lily and Ben cheered. They ate their cake and enjoyed their long meal. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys. One day, Mom said they could go to the store with her. They were happy. + +At the store, they saw many things. Lily saw a doll with a pink dress. She wanted it. Ben saw a car with big wheels. He wanted it. Mom said they could each pick one thing. + +Lily and Ben ran to the toys. They both grabbed the same car. They pulled and pulled. They did not want to share. + +"Mine!" Lily shouted. + +"No, mine!" Ben shouted. + +They pulled so hard that they fell down. Lily hurt her knee. She cried. Ben felt bad. He let go of the car. + +"Sorry, Lily. You can have the car. I hope your knee is better," Ben said. + +Lily stopped crying. She looked at Ben. She saw he was sad. She did not want the car anymore. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are fair. You can have the car. I like the doll more," Lily said. + +They hugged. They were happy again. Mom smiled. She was proud of them. She bought them the car and the doll. They went home and played with their toys. They shared and had fun. +Lily and Tom were on a big boat with their mom and dad. They liked to look at the water and the birds and the other boats. They saw a port with many houses and shops and people. Mom said they would stop there soon and have some lunch. + +Lily and Tom wanted to play a game. They decided to pretend they were lions and roar at each other. They crawled on the floor and made their hands into claws. They growled and roared and chased each other around the boat. + +"Roar! I'm a big lion and I'm hungry!" Tom said. + +"Roar! I'm a bigger lion and I'm stronger!" Lily said. + +They had fun and made a lot of noise. But they did not see that their dad was sleeping on a high chair. He was tired from driving the boat. He woke up when he heard the roars. He was not happy. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" he said. "Why are you roaring so loud? You are scaring the birds and the people!" + +Lily and Tom stopped and looked at their dad. They felt sorry for waking him up. They said they were sorry and gave him a hug. + +"We were just playing, dad," Lily said. + +"We were lions, dad," Tom said. + +Dad smiled and hugged them back. He said he liked lions, but they had to be quiet on the boat. He said they could roar again when they got to the port. He said there was a park there with a big slide and a swing. Lily and Tom liked that idea. They said they would be good lions and wait for the port. They went to sit with their mom and watch the water and the birds and the other boats. They were happy. +Ben and Lily went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the sea, like fish and crabs and shells. + +One day, they saw something new. It was big and round and clear, with long thin things hanging from it. It looked like a balloon with strings. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"That is a jellyfish," Mom said. "It is an animal that lives in the water. But you should not touch it, because it can hurt you. It can sting you with its thin things." + +Ben and Lily looked at the jellyfish. It was pretty, but scary. They stayed away from it. + +But then, Ben had an idea. He wanted to be brave and have fun. He said to Lily, "I dare you to touch the jellyfish. I dare you to pick it up and throw it in the air." + +Lily was scared. She did not want to touch the jellyfish. She did not want to get stung. She said, "No, Ben, I don't want to. That is a bad idea. Mom said it can hurt us." + +But Ben did not listen. He said, "Come on, Lily, don't be a baby. It is just a jellyfish. It is not expensive. It is not a toy. It is just a silly animal. I dare you to touch it. I dare you to pick it up and throw it in the air." + +Ben ran to the jellyfish. He reached out his hand. He was about to touch it. + +But then, Mom saw him. She shouted, "Ben, stop! Don't touch the jellyfish! It can sting you! It can make you cry! It can make you sick! Come back here, right now!" + +Ben heard Mom. He was scared. He pulled back his hand. He ran away from the jellyfish. He ran to Mom. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was just playing. I was just daring Lily. I won't touch the jellyfish. I won't touch anything that can hurt me." + +Mom hugged Ben. She said, "I'm glad you are sorry, Ben. I'm glad you are safe. But you should not dare Lily to do dangerous things. You should not do dangerous things yourself. You should be careful and listen to me. You should be kind and gentle to the animals. They are not toys. They are living things. They have feelings. They deserve respect." + +Ben nodded. He said, "I understand, Mom. I will be careful. I will listen to you. I will be kind and gentle to the animals. I will not dare Lily to do dangerous things. I will not do dangerous things myself." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's good, Ben. That's very good. I love you, Ben. I love you, Lily. Now, let's go and have some ice cream. How does that sound?" + +Ben and Lily smiled. They said, "That sounds great, Mom. We love you, too. We love ice cream. Let's go and have some ice cream." + +They left the jellyfish alone. They went to have some ice cream. They had a good day at the beach. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the big hall of their house. The hall had many doors that led to different rooms, but one door was always locked. Lily and Ben wanted to know what was behind the locked door, but their mom and dad never told them. + +One day, when their mom and dad were out, Lily and Ben decided to try to open the locked door. They found a cheap key under a mat and put it in the lock. The door opened with a click and they went inside. + +The room was dark and dusty, and had many old things that looked scary. Lily and Ben saw a big mirror on the wall that had a crack in it. They gazed at the mirror and saw their own faces, but they also saw another face behind them. It was a mean face that smiled in a bad way. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked, feeling afraid. + +"I am the ghost of this room," the face said. "And you are not welcome here. This is my place, and you have to leave. Now!" + +The face made a loud noise that sounded like thunder, and the mirror shook. Lily and Ben screamed and ran out of the room. They slammed the door behind them and threw the key away. They hugged each other and cried. + +They never went near the locked door again. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, their mom gave them each an orange to eat. Tim peeled his orange and ate it. He said, "This orange is yummy and juicy. Thank you, mom." Sam did not peel his orange. He said, "I don't want this orange. I want a cookie." He ignored his orange and threw it on the floor. + +Mom saw what Sam did and was sad. She said, "Sam, that is not nice. You should not waste food. There are many children who have no food. You should be grateful for what you have." Sam did not listen to mom. He said, "I don't care. I want a cookie." He ignored mom and ran to his room. + +Tim felt sorry for mom and the orange. He picked up the orange and washed it. He said, "Mom, can I have this orange? I like oranges. They are yummy and healthy." Mom smiled and said, "Of course, Tim. You can have this orange. You are a good boy. You appreciate what you have." She gave Tim a hug and a kiss. + +Sam heard what mom said and felt bad. He realized he was wrong. He came out of his room and said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I was rude and selfish. I don't need a cookie. I want to eat my orange. Can I have it back?" Mom said, "I'm glad you are sorry, Sam. But you can't have your orange back. You threw it away. Tim has it now. He was kind and respectful. He deserves it more than you." Sam felt ashamed and sad. He learned his lesson. + +The moral of the story is: You should not ignore what you have and be greedy for what you don't have. You should be thankful and respectful for what you have and share it with others. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big poster on a wall. It had a picture of a famous singer who was coming to their town. The poster said, "Come and see the amazing Anna!" + +"Wow, she looks so pretty and happy!" Lily said. "I want to see her sing!" + +"Me too!" Ben said. "Maybe we can ask Mommy to take us!" + +They ran home and told Mommy about the poster. Mommy smiled and said, "I'm sorry, my loves, but we can't go. The tickets are too much money, and we have to save for other things." + +Ben and Lily felt sad and angry. They wanted to see the amazing Anna so badly. They started to cry and yell at Mommy. + +"That's not fair!" Ben said. "We never get to do anything fun!" + +"Yeah, you don't love us!" Lily said. "You only love money!" + +Mommy felt hurt and tired. She had worked hard to provide for her children, but they didn't understand. She tried to hug them and explain, but they pushed her away. + +"Go away, Mommy!" Ben said. "We don't want to talk to you!" + +"Fine, then!" Mommy said. "You can stay in your room until you calm down and say sorry!" + +She sent them to their room and closed the door. Ben and Lily sat on their beds and pouted. They didn't want to say sorry. They wanted to see the amazing Anna. + +They looked out the window and saw the sun setting. They heard the birds singing and the cars honking. They wondered if the amazing Anna was singing somewhere too. + +They started to feel bored and lonely. They missed Mommy and the park and their friends. They realized they had been mean and rude to Mommy, who loved them very much. + +They looked at each other and yawned. They felt sleepy and sorry. + +"Ben, I think we were wrong," Lily said. "Mommy works hard for us, and we should be thankful." + +"Yeah, Lily, you're right," Ben said. "We should say sorry to Mommy and hug her." + +They got up and opened the door. They saw Mommy sitting on the couch, reading a book. She looked up and saw them. + +"Mommy, we're sorry," Ben and Lily said together. "We love you." + +Mommy smiled and opened her arms. Ben and Lily ran to her and hugged her. + +"I love you too, my loves," Mommy said. "And I'm sorry I couldn't take you to see the amazing Anna. Maybe we can listen to her songs on the radio instead." + +"Okay, Mommy," Ben and Lily said. "That sounds good." + +They snuggled with Mommy on the couch and listened to the amazing Anna's songs. They felt happy and peaceful. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. +Ben loves to play with his toy car. He likes to zoom it around the floor and make loud noises. He pretends he is a fast driver and he goes to many places. + +One day, he sees a big bike in the garage. It has two wheels and a handle. He wants to try it. He climbs on the bike and holds the handle. He tries to zoom like his car, but the bike is too big and heavy. He falls down and hurts his knee. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he cries. He runs to his mom and shows her his knee. It has a red spot and some dirt. + +"Mom, mom, look!" he says. "The bike hurt me!" + +His mom hugs him and wipes his knee with a wet cloth. She is gentle and kind. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," she says. "The bike is not for you. It is for your big brother. He is older and stronger. You are still too little for the bike. You can play with your car. It is safer and more fun." + +Ben nods and sniffs. He feels better. He goes back to his room and picks up his car. He zooms it around the floor and makes loud noises. He is happy again. He likes his car. It is his favorite toy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to run and play in the park. One day, they see a large sign. The sign says: "Race for kids. Come and join!" + +Lily and Ben want to join the race. They go to the table and get a number. Lily gets number 10 and Ben gets number 11. They put the numbers on their shirts. + +The race is about to start. Lily and Ben go to the line with the other kids. They are a little scared. Some kids are bigger and faster than them. + +"Are you ready, Lily?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know, Ben. What if we lose?" Lily says. + +Ben smiles and says: "It's okay, Lily. We can do it. We just have to try our best and have fun. I will encourage you and you will encourage me. We are a team!" + +Lily smiles back and says: "You are right, Ben. We are a team. Let's go!" + +The whistle blows and the race begins. Lily and Ben run as fast as they can. They cheer for each other and pass some kids. They are having fun. + +They reach the finish line and cross it together. They are not the first, but they are not the last. They are happy and proud. + +They get a medal and a hug from their parents. They show their medals to each other and say: "We did it! We are awesome!" + +They high-five and laugh. They are friends. They like to run and play in the park. +Tom and Sue like to play with blocks. They make houses, cars, towers and more. They are very good at design. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +One day, they have a big fight. Tom wants to use all the blue blocks for his house. Sue wants to use some blue blocks for her car. They both say "No, these are mine!" They pull and push the blocks. They are very angry and sad. + +They decide to play alone. Tom takes all the blue blocks to one corner. Sue takes all the red blocks to another corner. They do not talk or look at each other. They are very independent. + +But soon, they feel bored. Tom's house is too plain. Sue's car is too small. They miss the other colors and shapes. They miss each other. + +They look at each other and feel sorry. They say "I'm sorry, can we share?" They nod and smile. They bring their blocks together and make a new design. They make a big castle with blue and red and yellow and green blocks. They make a big train with round and square and long and short blocks. They have fun and laugh. They are very happy and friendly. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is better than fighting. Design is more fun with friends. +Tim and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today they are restless. They want to go outside and run and jump. But Mom says no. It is cold and wet outside.

They pick up the feather and start to tickle each other. They giggle and squeal. They tickle Mom too. Mom laughs and says stop. + +But Tim and Mia do not stop. They run around the room with the feather. They tickle the cat and the dog. The cat and the dog do not like it. They hiss and bark. They chase Tim and Mia. Tim and Mia scream and run. They knock over a lamp and a vase. They make a big mess. + +Mom is angry. She says enough. She takes the feather and puts it away. She tells Tim and Mia to sit on the couch and be quiet. She says they have to clean up the mess. She says they have to behave or they will not get a snack. + +Tim and Mia are sorry. They say sorry to Mom. They say sorry to the cat and the dog. They help Mom clean up the mess. They sit on the couch and be quiet. They are not restless anymore. They are tired. They hug Mom and say they love her. Mom hugs them and says she loves them too. She gives them a snack and a kiss. She says they are good twins. She says they can play with the feather tomorrow. But only if they behave. +Sara and Ben are playing in the sand. They have a bucket and a shovel. They want to make a big castle. + +"Look, Sara, I found a shell!" Ben says. He puts the shell in the bucket. + +"Wow, Ben, it is pretty!" Sara says. She finds a stick and draws a door on the castle. + +They work hard and make the castle bigger and bigger. They are happy. + +But then, a fat dog comes. He sees the bucket and the shell.

She waves the shovel at the dog. + +The dog is scared. He drops the bucket and runs away. But he knocks down the castle with his tail. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They look at the sand. Their castle is gone. + +They decide to make a new castle. They find a new bucket and a new shell. They start to build again. + +They are happy. +Tim and Jen are playing with their toy rockets. They want to fly them to the moon. But they need fuel for their rockets. Fuel is what makes the rockets go fast and high. + +"Let's measure how much fuel we have," Tim says. He takes a ruler and a cup. He pours some water into the cup. "This is our fuel," he says. "We need to fill the rockets with fuel." + +Jen nods. She takes her rocket and opens a small hole at the bottom. She holds it over the cup. Tim helps her pour some water into the hole. "That's enough," Tim says. "Now close the hole." + +They do the same with Tim's rocket. Then they go outside to the backyard. They find a flat spot to launch their rockets. They stand back and count to three. + +"One, two, three, blast off!" they shout. They press a button on their rockets. The rockets make a loud noise and shoot up into the air. They leave a trail of water behind them. + +Tim and Jen clap and cheer. They watch their rockets fly higher and higher. They hope they will reach the moon. + +But then something goes wrong. The rockets start to wobble and fall. They crash into the ground with a thud. Tim and Jen run to see what happened. + +"Oh no, our rockets are broken!" Jen says. She picks up her rocket and sees a crack in the hole. Some of the water has leaked out. "We didn't have enough fuel," she says. + +Tim looks at his rocket. It has a dent in the nose. "We had too much fuel," he says. "Our rocket was too heavy." + +They feel sad and nervous. They don't know how to fix their rockets. They wonder if they can ever fly to the moon. + +"Maybe we can try again another day," Tim says. He hugs Jen. "We can measure the fuel better next time." + +Jen smiles. She hugs Tim back. "Yeah, maybe we can," she says. "But for now, let's go inside and have some cookies." + +They leave their rockets in the backyard. They hope they will still work. They go inside and have some cookies. They still dream of flying to the moon. +Tim and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were explorers in the jungle. They had a big hat, a binocular and a map. + +"Look, Tim, I see a big bird!" Mia said, pointing with the binocular. + +"Wow, let me see!" Tim said, taking the binocular from Mia. "It is a parrot! It has many colors!" + +They heard a buzzing sound near their ears. It was a mosquito. It wanted to bite them. + +"Ouch!" Mia said, slapping her arm. "A mosquito bit me! It hurts!" + +"Me too!" Tim said, rubbing his cheek. "It is spicy!" + +They ran inside the house. They saw their mom in the kitchen. She was making soup. + +"Mom, mom, a mosquito bit us!" they said, showing their red spots. + +"Oh, poor babies!" mom said, hugging them. "Don't worry, I have some cream for you. It will make you feel better." + +She put some cream on their spots. It was cold and soothing. + +"Thank you, mom!" they said, smiling. + +"You're welcome, my loves!" mom said, kissing them. "Now, do you want some soup? It is not spicy, I promise." + +"Yes, please!" they said, nodding. + +They sat at the table and ate the soup. It was warm and yummy. + +They believed that mom's soup and cream could heal anything. They were happy. +Sara likes to play with her friends at the park. She likes to swing, slide and run. One day, she sees a new girl sitting on a bench. She has long hair and a red dress. Sara wants to be her friend. + +She goes to the new girl and says, "Hi, I am Sara. What is your name?"

Sara's mom says, "This is a special ice-cream. It is from my old recipe book. It has vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. You can choose your favorite." Sara and Lily say, "Wow, it looks yummy. Thank you, Sara's mom." + +They take two spoons and dig in. They eat the ice-cream and make happy noises. They say, "This is the best ice-cream ever. You are the best, Sara's mom." Sara's mom smiles and says, "You are very sweet, Sara and Lily. I am glad you are friends. You can come here anytime you want." Sara and Lily hug her and say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." They are very happy. They have a new friend and a new ice-cream. +Tom and Mia were at the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They liked the animals very much. But their favorite animal was the zebra. The zebra had black and white stripes on its fur. It looked lovely. + +"Mom, can we speak to the zebra?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, you can try. But the zebra may not understand you. It speaks a different language than we do," mom said. + +Tom and Mia went close to the fence where the zebra was. They said hello to the zebra. The zebra looked at them and made a sound. It sounded like a snort. + +"Hi, zebra. We are Tom and Mia. We like you. You are lovely," Tom said. + +The zebra snorted again. It seemed to like Tom and Mia too. It came closer to the fence and let them touch its nose. + +"Wow, the zebra is so soft and warm," Mia said. + +But then, another zebra came. It was bigger and louder than the first zebra. It did not like Tom and Mia. It wanted the first zebra to go away. It pushed the first zebra with its head. It made a loud noise. It sounded like a bark. + +"Hey, stop that. You are mean. The zebra is our friend. Leave it alone," Tom said. + +But the big zebra did not listen. It kept pushing the first zebra. The first zebra was scared and sad. It tried to get away from the big zebra. + +"Mom, help. The big zebra is hurting the lovely zebra. Make it stop," Mia said. + +Mom heard Mia and came to see what was wrong. She saw the big zebra being rude to the first zebra. She called the zookeeper. The zookeeper came and saw the problem. He used a stick to make the big zebra go away. He said sorry to Tom and Mia. He said the big zebra was jealous and wanted to be the boss. He said the first zebra was okay and needed some rest. He gave Tom and Mia some carrots to feed the first zebra. The first zebra ate the carrots and smiled. It was happy again. + +"Thank you, zookeeper. You are nice. The lovely zebra is happy again. We are happy too," Tom and Mia said. + +They hugged the first zebra and said goodbye. They thanked mom for taking them to the zoo. They learned a lot about animals. They learned that some animals are friendly and some are not. They learned that they should be kind and not jealous. They learned that they can speak to animals, even if they speak a different language. They had a fun and exciting day at the zoo. +Anna liked to wear her pink jacket with the zipper. She wanted to zip it by herself, but it was hard. Sometimes the zipper got stuck, or it went the wrong way, or it hurt her fingers. + +One day, Anna asked her big brother Ben to help her. Ben was grumpy. He did not want to play with Anna. He wanted to read his book. He said, "Go away, Anna. I don't have time to teach you how to zip your jacket. You are too little. You should ask Mom or Dad." + +Anna felt sad. She did not want to bother Mom or Dad. They were busy making dinner. She wanted to learn from Ben. He was good at zipping. She said, "Please, Ben. I want to be like you. You are smart and fast. You can teach me how to zip my jacket. It will be fun." + +Ben looked at Anna. He saw her big eyes and her pink jacket. He felt sorry for her.

Deal?" + +Anna nodded. She was happy. She said, "Deal. Thank you, Ben. You are the best brother ever." + +Ben smiled. He put down his book and took Anna's jacket.

Now you try." + +Anna took her jacket and tried to zip it. She followed Ben's instructions. She was careful and patient. She zipped it up and down, up and down, until she got it right.

Lily said. + +"Please, I want to see it!" Tom said. + +He tried to grab the doll from Lily, but she held it tight. Tom got angry and pulled harder. Lily screamed and bit Tom's neck. + +"Ow! That hurts!" Tom cried. + +He let go of the doll and ran to his mom. Lily locked the doll in her toy box and smiled. + +"Mom, Lily bit me!" Tom said. + +He showed his mom his neck. It had a red mark. + +Mom looked at Tom and Lily. She was not happy. + +"Why did you bite Tom, Lily?" Mom asked. + +"He wanted my doll and he pulled it!" Lily said. + +"That's not nice, Lily. You have to share your toys with your brother. And you don't bite people. That's very bad." Mom said. + +She took the doll from the toy box and gave it to Tom. + +"Here, Tom. You can play with the doll for a while. And Lily, you can play with the car." Mom said. + +Lily did not want to play with the car. She wanted her doll back. She was impatient. + +"No, I don't want the car! I want my doll!" Lily said. + +She stomped her feet and cried. + +Mom sighed. She knew Lily and Tom had to learn to get along. + +"Maybe we can play a game together. How about we pretend the doll and the car are friends and they go on an adventure?" Mom suggested. + +She hoped that would make Lily and Tom happy and stop fighting. +Tom and Anna are playing in the park. They see a big tree with red fruits. Tom says, "I want to eat the fruits. They look yummy." Anna says, "Me too. I am hungry." + +They run to the tree and try to reach the fruits. But the fruits are too high. They jump and stretch, but they cannot touch them. They are sad. + +Then they see a man with a ladder. He is wearing a hat and a smile. He says, "Hello, children. Do you want some fruits?" Tom and Anna nod. They say, "Yes, please. Thank you." + +The man puts the ladder against the tree. He climbs up and picks some fruits. He puts them in a basket. He comes down and gives the basket to Tom and Anna. He says, "Here you go. Enjoy." + +Tom and Anna open their hands and take the fruits. They bite them and smile. They are sweet and juicy. They say, "Mmm, these are good. Thank you, sir." The man says, "You're welcome. Have a nice day." He takes his ladder and leaves. + +Tom and Anna sit under the tree and eat the fruits. They are happy and full. They say, "This is the best day ever." They hug each other and laugh. +Lily and Ben like to play with blocks. They make towers with the blocks. They make big towers and small towers. They make red towers and blue towers. They have fun with the blocks. + +One day, they see a furry cat. The cat is black and white. The cat is cute and soft. Lily and Ben want to pet the cat. They call the cat. "Here, kitty, kitty!" they say. + +The cat hears them. The cat sees the towers. The cat likes the towers. The cat jumps on the towers. The cat knocks down the towers. The blocks fall. The towers fall. Lily and Ben are sad. They worked hard on the towers. + +"Bad kitty!" Lily says. "You broke our towers!" + +"Meow!" the cat says. The cat does not care. The cat likes to play with the blocks. The cat rolls on the blocks. The cat is happy. + +Lily and Ben are mad. They want to make new towers. They pick up the blocks. They start to build again. They hope the cat will leave them alone. They love the cat, but they love their towers too. +Lily was a lonely girl. She had no friends at school. The other kids did not like to play with her.

He smiled at Lily and said hello. Lily felt happy. She wanted to be his friend. + +At recess, Lily went to find True. She saw him sitting on a bench by himself. He looked sad too. Lily walked up to him and said, "Hi, True. Do you want to play with me?" True nodded and smiled. He said, "Yes, please. I have no friends here. I just moved from another town." Lily said, "Me too. I have no friends here. Maybe we can be friends." True said, "Yes, maybe we can." They held hands and walked to the playground. + +Lily and True had fun playing together. They slid down the slide, swung on the swings, and ran around the field. They laughed and talked. They felt happy. They felt like they had found a friend. + +But then, the bell rang. It was time to go back to class. Lily and True hugged each other and said goodbye. They said they would play again tomorrow.

They felt dizzy and sick. + +The teacher saw them and ran to help. She called the nurse and the ambulance. She said, "Oh no, Lily and True. What happened? You are hurt. You need to go to the hospital." Lily and True felt scared. They did not want to go to the hospital. They wanted to stay with each other. They wanted to hug again. But they could not. They were taken away in the ambulance. They never saw each other again. They were lonely again. They were sad again. The end. +Lily and Tom were bored. They had no toys to play with. Their mom was busy in the kitchen. She was making bread with dough. Lily and Tom wanted to help, but mom said no. She said the dough was hot and sticky. + +Lily and Tom wondered what dough was. They had never seen it before. It looked like a big, gray ball. It smelled good, but it was not for eating. They wanted to touch it and see how it felt. + +They waited until mom went to the bathroom. Then they sneaked into the kitchen. They saw the dough on the table. It was covered with a cloth. Lily and Tom lifted the cloth and saw the dough. It was soft and warm.

Tom took another piece and made a ball. He threw it at Lily. Lily threw it back. They laughed and played with the dough. + +But they did not see mom coming back. She saw them making a mess with the dough. She was angry. She shouted at them. + +"What are you doing? You ruined the dough! That was for the bread! Now we have no bread for dinner!" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped the dough and ran to their room. They felt sorry. They did not mean to make mom mad. They just wanted to play. They wondered if mom would forgive them. They wondered if they would get any dinner. They wondered if they would ever see dough again. +Ben and Mia liked to travel with their dad. He had a big truck that could carry many things. Sometimes he took them to see new places and animals. + +One day, they went to a farm. There were cows, sheep, pigs and horses. Ben and Mia wanted to see the horses. They asked their dad if they could. + +"Sure, but be careful. Horses are big and strong. And some of them are loud. They can kick and bite if they are scared or angry. You have to be gentle and quiet with them," their dad said. + +He took them to the stable, where the horses lived. There were many stalls, each with a horse inside. Some of the horses were brown, some were black, some were white. Some had spots or stripes. They all had long hair and tails. + +Ben and Mia walked slowly and softly. They looked at the horses with wonder. They wanted to touch them, but they were afraid. They stayed close to their dad. + +One of the horses saw them and made a loud noise. It sounded like "neigh". Ben and Mia jumped and hid behind their dad. + +"What was that?" Ben asked. + +"That was the horse saying hello. He wants to meet you. He is friendly. Do you want to say hello back?" their dad asked. + +Ben and Mia nodded. They were curious. Their dad took an apple from his pocket and gave it to them. He showed them how to hold it flat on their palm and offer it to the horse. + +The horse came closer and sniffed the apple. He licked it with his tongue and took a bite. He made a happy noise. He sounded like "munch". + +Ben and Mia smiled. They liked the horse. They stroked his nose and hair. He was soft and warm. He nuzzled their hands and made a gentle noise. He sounded like "whinny". + +Ben and Mia felt brave. They asked their dad if they could ride the horse. + +"Maybe next time. We have to go now. But you can say goodbye to the horse. He likes you," their dad said. + +Ben and Mia hugged the horse and thanked him for the apple. They said goodbye and waved. The horse waved his tail and made a loud noise. He sounded like "neigh". + +Ben and Mia laughed. They had fun. They liked to travel with their dad. They hoped to see the horse again. +There was a boy who liked to shut things. He shut his toys in a box. He shut his books in a drawer. He shut his clothes in a closet. He even shut his cat in a cage. He thought it was fun to shut things and make them quiet. + +One day, he found a rare thing in his yard. It was a butterfly with many colors. He wanted to keep it, so he ran after it with a jar. He caught the butterfly and shut it in the jar. He was very happy and took it to his room. + +But the butterfly was not happy. It wanted to fly and see the flowers and the sun. It banged on the jar and made a noise. The boy did not like the noise. He said, "Shut up, butterfly! You are mine and you have to be quiet!" + +The butterfly said, "Please, boy, let me go. I am not a toy or a book or a clothes or a cat. I am a living thing and I need to be free. If you let me go, I will show you something rare and beautiful." + +The boy was curious. He opened the jar and let the butterfly go. The butterfly flew out and thanked the boy. Then it flew to a bush and called its friends. Soon, the boy saw many butterflies with many colors. They made a rainbow in the air. The boy was amazed and smiled. + +He learned that some things are not meant to be shut, but to be shared. He also learned that being kind and generous can bring more joy than being selfish and greedy. He decided to open his box, his drawer, his closet and his cage, and share his toys, his books, his clothes and his cat with others. He made many friends and was happy. He never shut things again. +Anna loved chocolate. She liked to eat it when she was happy or sad or bored. She had a big box of chocolate in her room. She hid it under her bed so no one could find it. + +One day, it was very hot outside. Anna wanted to play with her friends, but they were all at the pool. Anna did not like the pool. She did not like the water or the sun or the noise. She wanted to stay in her room and eat chocolate. + +She went to her bed and pulled out the box of chocolate. She opened it and saw many pieces of chocolate. They looked yummy and brown and sweet. She picked one and put it in her mouth. + +But it did not taste good. It tasted bad and bitter and yucky. Anna spat it out and looked at the box. All the pieces of chocolate were melted and sticky and icky. They were not chocolate anymore. They were chocolate soup. + +Anna felt sad and angry and silly. She remembered that chocolate could not stay in a hot room. She remembered that chocolate needed to be in a cold place. She remembered that her mom had told her to put the chocolate in the fridge. + +She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had put the chocolate in the fridge. Then it would be icy and hard and delicious. Then she could eat it and enjoy it and share it. + +She threw away the box of chocolate soup and went to the kitchen.

"It's pretty and has a dress." + +Lily did not allow Ben to have the doll. She hugged it and said, "Go away!" + +Ben was angry. He thought Lily was stupid and mean. He wanted to show her that he had more power than her. He grabbed the car and threw it at the doll. + +"Hey!" Lily shouted. "Don't do that!" + +The car hit the doll and knocked it off the couch. The doll's head broke and its dress ripped. Lily started to cry. She was sad and hurt. + +Ben felt bad. He did not mean to break the doll. He only wanted to play with it. He saw that Lily was crying and he was sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I was stupid and mean. I should not have thrown the car at the doll. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at Ben and saw that he was sorry. She stopped crying and said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. I was stupid and mean too. I should have let you play with the doll. Can we share?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, we can share. I'm sorry I broke your doll. Can I help you fix it?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, you can help me fix it. Thank you, Ben." + +They hugged and said, "We are friends." + +They went to find some glue and tape to fix the doll. They played with the doll and the car together. They were happy and nice. +Lily and Max were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked the pillows best. They made a big pile of pillows on the bed and jumped on them. + +"Look, I can fly!" Max said, as he pushed a pillow under him and lifted his arms. + +"Me too!" Lily said, and pushed another pillow under her. They pretended they were birds and made funny noises. + +But then, Max had an idea. He saw a pillow on the floor and picked it up.

"Mom will be mad!" + +Max was scared too. He did not mean to break the lamp. He looked at Lily and said, "Don't tell Mom. Say it was an accident." + +Lily thought for a moment. She did not want to get in trouble. But she also did not want to lie. She remembered what Mom always said: "Be honest, even when you make a mistake." + +She looked at Max and said, "No, Max. We have to tell Mom the truth. We were playing with the pillows and we broke the lamp. It was our fault. Mom will be sad, but she will forgive us if we are honest." + +Max sighed. He knew Lily was right. He nodded and said, "Okay, Lily. Let's go tell Mom. Maybe she will not be too mad." + +They held hands and walked to the living room. They saw Mom sitting on the couch, reading a book. They took a deep breath and said, "Mom, we have something to tell you." +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and balls. One day, they went to the park with their moms. The park had a big hill with a cliff. Tom and Sam wanted to see the cliff. + +They ran up the hill and looked over the edge.

She sees Lily on the chair. She smiles. + +"Of course, you can have some jam, sweetie. But you have to be careful. The jar is very heavy. And the chair is very thin. You might fall and hurt yourself.

They start to pick up the toys and the pillows. They still like to act, but they know they have to listen to Mom. +Lila was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new things. One day, she saw a big jar of salt on the kitchen table. She wondered what it tasted like, so she climbed on a chair and opened the jar. She took a pinch of salt and put it in her mouth. + +"Yuck!" she cried. "This is not good! It is sharp and hurts my tongue!" + +She heard her mom coming and quickly put the jar back. She ran to the living room and hid behind the couch. + +"Lila, what are you doing?" her mom asked. "Did you touch the salt jar?" + +Lila peeked out from behind the couch and nodded. She felt guilty and sorry. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I was curious. I wanted to try the salt. But it was sharp and bad. I don't like it." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "It's okay, Lila. I'm glad you are honest. Salt is not for eating by itself. It is for making food taste better. But only a little bit. Too much salt is not good for you. It can make you thirsty and sick." + +Lila nodded and hugged her mom back. "I understand, mom. I won't touch the salt jar again. Can I have some water, please?" + +"Of course, Lila. Here you go. And maybe next time, you can ask me before you try something new. I can show you some other things that are fun and safe to explore." + +Lila smiled and drank her water.

They have a fever and a cough. Mommy gives them medicine and a thermometer. She puts the thermometer in their mouths and tells them to wait. + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They wonder who has the higher fever. They think that means they are sicker and need more attention. They want to make Mommy worry and cuddle them more. + +When Mommy takes out the thermometers, she looks at the numbers. She says, "Anna, you have 38.5 degrees. Ben, you have 38.7 degrees. You both have a high fever. You need to rest and drink water." + +Anna and Ben are not happy. They want to have the same fever or a higher one. They start to argue. + +"I have a higher fever than you! I am sicker than you!" Ben says. + +"No, you don't! You are lying! You are not sicker than me!"

They fall asleep. +Ben likes to play with his ball. He can kick it very hard and make it fly in the air. He likes to kick it to his dog, Rex, and Rex likes to catch it and bring it back. They have a lot of fun together. + +One day, Ben and Rex go to the park to play with the ball. Ben sees a big hill and wants to kick the ball from the top. He thinks it will go very far and fast.

He says it is a gift and he hopes the boy likes it. He says he is sorry again and he hopes the boy's head and bike are okay. + +The boy looks at the start and stops crying. He likes the start too. It is shiny and yellow and makes him happy. He says thank you to Ben and says he is sorry too. He says he was mad and hurt but he is not anymore. He says he likes Ben and his ball and he wants to play with them. He says he likes Rex too and he wants to pet him. + +Ben smiles and says he is glad. He says he likes the boy and his bike and he wants to play with them. He says he likes the pond and the ducks and the frogs and he wants to see them. He says he likes the park and the hill and the trees and the flowers and the birds and he wants to explore them.

The truck driver will pick up the box and drive away. It was just an accident." + +Lily felt better and said, "Can I go back to my room and play with my dolls?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, honey. But be careful and don't make too much noise. Your dad is working in his office and he needs quiet." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I love you." + +Lily went back to her room and picked up her dolls. She saw that the prince doll had fallen on the floor and his crown was bent. She felt sad and said, "Oh no, prince, are you hurt?" + +The prince doll said, "No, Lily, I'm not hurt. I'm just a little dirty and my crown is a little crooked. But I'm still a prince and I still love you." + +Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, prince. You are very brave and kind. You don't need a perfect crown to be a prince. You just need a good heart." + +She hugged the prince doll and said, "I will support you, prince. I will help you fix your crown and clean your clothes. And I will always be your friend." + +The prince doll said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very pretty and smart. You don't need a fancy dress to be a princess.

She waited until no one was looking, and then she took the fairy doll from the shelf. She hid it in her coat and ran out of the store. + +Lily was happy. She went home and played with the fairy doll and Anna. She made them fly and do magic. She did not think about the store or the people who worked there. + +But Lily did not know that borrowing the fairy doll was wrong. She did not know that it was dangerous. She did not know that the fairy doll had a special tag. The tag had a chip that could beep and tell the store where the fairy doll was. + +Soon, the store people found out that the fairy doll was missing. They looked at the tag and saw that it was beeping at Lily's house. They called the police and told them what happened. + +The police came to Lily's house and knocked on the door. Lily's mom opened the door and saw the police and the store people. They asked her if she had the fairy doll. Lily's mom was confused.

She hugged Anna and said she was her best friend. She said she would never borrow anything again without asking. She said she would be a good girl. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden.

It was a mineral. It was round and blue and sparkled in the sun. Lily and Ben were very happy. They wanted to show it to their mom. + +But as they were running to the house, they tripped and fell. The mineral flew out of their hands and landed on the pavement. It broke into many pieces. Lily and Ben were very sad. The mineral was fragile. + +They heard a voice behind them.

They showed him the broken pieces. + +Mr. Lee smiled. He said, "Don't worry, I can help you. I have some glue and some tools in my garage. We can rescue the mineral. Come with me." + +Lily and Ben followed Mr. Lee to his garage. He glued the pieces of the mineral together. He polished it and wrapped it in a soft cloth. He gave it back to Lily and Ben. + +"Here you go," he said. "It's as good as new. But be careful, it's still fragile. You should keep it in a safe place." + +Lily and Ben thanked Mr. Lee.

The dog might bite you!" + +But Ben does not listen. He runs to the dog. He holds out his palm. He says to the dog, "Hi, dog! You are cute! Can I be your friend?" + +The dog does not like Ben. The dog growls. The dog shows its teeth. The dog bites Ben's palm. Ben screams. He is hurt. He is sad. + +Tom runs to Ben. He tries to help him. He says to Ben, "I'm sorry, Ben. I told you not to go. The dog is not loyal. The dog is bad." + +Ben cries. He says to Tom, "You are right, Tom. The dog is bad. You are my friend. You are loyal. Thank you, Tom." + +They go to the nurse. The nurse cleans Ben's palm. She puts a bandage on it. She says to Ben, "You are brave, Ben. But you should be careful. Not all dogs are friendly. You should ask the owner before you pet a dog." + +Ben nods. He learns his lesson. He says to Tom, "Let's go home, Tom. I don't want to play in the park anymore. I don't like dogs anymore." +Tim liked to eat pears. He liked them a lot. He liked them more than apples or bananas or grapes. He liked to eat them every day. He liked to eat them at home and at school. + +One day, he brought a big pear to school. He was very happy. He wanted to show his friends his pear. He wanted to share his pear with them.

They see white snow on the ground and in the trees. + +"Look, Ben, snow!" Mia says. "Let's make a snowman!" + +"OK, Mia, let's do it!" Ben says. They roll big balls of snow and stack them on top of each other. They find a carrot, a scarf, a hat and some stones. They make a face and a body for the snowman. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Mia says. She gives him a hug. Ben leans on the snowman and smiles. + +"Hello, kids!" Mr. Snowman says. He is playful and friendly. He winks at them with his stone eye. + +"Wow, he can talk!" Ben says. He is surprised and happy. + +"Yes, I can talk!" Mr. Snowman says. "And I can play with you, too! Do you want to play tag?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Mia and Ben say. They run and laugh with Mr. Snowman. They have fun in the snow. They are not cold. They are happy. +Tim and Mia were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog with a collar and a leash, but no owner.

He heard their cries and looked up. He saw the dog running after them. He put down his book and stood up. + +"Stop, dog! Stop!" he said. He waved his arms and made a loud noise. The dog stopped and looked at him. The man took out a small stick from his pocket. He pointed it at the dog and said a word. + +"Spell!" he said. A bright light came out of the stick and hit the dog. The dog yelped and ran away. + +Tim and Mia stopped and looked at the man. They were amazed and curious. + +"Wow! You have a magic stick!" Tim said. + +"Thank you for saving us!" Mia said. + +The man smiled and put the stick back in his pocket. + +"You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you're safe. That was a bad dog. He escaped from his owner. I used a spell to scare him away. But don't tell anyone. It's a secret." + +"Who are you?" Tim asked. + +"I'm a wizard. But a humble one. I don't like to show off my magic. I only use it to help people and animals. And sometimes to read books." + +"Can you teach us some spells?" Mia asked. + +"Maybe another time. But for now, you should go home. It's getting late. And remember, be careful of strange dogs. And be kind to good ones. They need love and protection too." + +Tim and Mia nodded and thanked the man again. They ran back to their homes, feeling happy and grateful. They wondered if they would see the wizard again. And what other spells he could do. +Sara was a lonely girl. She had no friends to play with at home. She only had her toys and books. She wished she could meet someone who liked her. + +One day, she saw a big truck outside her window. The truck had many cages with animals inside. Sara loved animals. She wanted to see them up close. She put on her shoes and ran outside. + +She saw a cage with a small monkey. The monkey looked sad and scared. Sara felt sorry for him. She said, "Hello, monkey. What is your name?" + +The monkey did not answer. He only made noises. He tried to open the cage, but it was locked. He wanted to escape. + +Sara looked around. She saw no one watching. She had an idea. She found a stick and pushed it through the bars. She gave it to the monkey. The monkey took the stick and used it to unlock the cage. He was free! + +He jumped out of the cage and hugged Sara. He said, "Thank you, girl. You are very kind. My name is Leo. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Sara smiled. She said, "Yes, Leo. I want to be your friend. You are very smart and brave. Let's go and find a safe place to play." + +They ran away from the truck and into the woods. They had fun playing with the leaves and the berries. They were not lonely anymore. They had each other. They were happy. +Anna liked to create things with paper and scissors. She cut out shapes and colors and glued them together. She made animals, flowers, stars and more. She was very happy with her creations. + +One day, she wanted to make a lively bird. She cut out a yellow circle for the body, a red triangle for the beak, two blue ovals for the wings and a green strip for the tail.

It can fly and sing and play with me." + +Her mom smiled and said, "That's a wonderful bird, Anna. You are very creative and clever. Can I see how it flies?" + +Anna nodded and waved the stick in the air. The bird moved and flapped its wings. She made a chirping sound with her mouth. She pretended the bird was talking to her. + +"Hello, Anna. I'm your lively bird. Thank you for making me. You are my best friend. Can we go outside and see the other birds?" + +Anna said, "Yes, let's go. I'm sure they will like you too. You are so pretty and fun.

I didn't know where you went. I'm glad you came back. What did you see?" + +Sara says, "I saw a dark tunnel. I don't know where it goes. Maybe it's a secret. Maybe we can explore it together. But not now. Let's go and tell mom and dad. Maybe they know about it." + +Ben says, "Okay, Sara. Let's go. But next time, don't hide in unusual places. It's too scary." + +Sara says, "Okay, Ben. I won't. I love you." + +Ben says, "I love you too." +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. They see a big tree with red and yellow leaves.

The squirrel has a big tail and a nut in its mouth. + +Anna and Ben stare at the squirrel. They want to say hello and touch it. They move closer to the squirrel. The squirrel sees them and gets scared. It jumps to another branch and runs away. + +"Come back, squirrel!" Anna and Ben shout. They follow the squirrel on the tree. They forget what their mom said. They go too far and too high. + +Suddenly, they hear a crack. The branch they are on breaks. Anna and Ben lose their balance and fall. They scream and close their eyes. + +Their mom hears them and runs to the tree. She catches them in her arms before they hit the ground. She hugs them and checks if they are hurt. + +"Are you okay, my loves?" she asks. + +Anna and Ben open their eyes and see their mom. They feel scared and sorry. They start to cry. + +"We are okay, mom. We are sorry, mom. We were stupid, mom," they say. + +Their mom kisses them and wipes their tears. She is not angry, but she is worried. + +"You are not stupid, but you were not careful. You have to listen to me and be safe. Climbing the tree is fun, but it is also dangerous. You could have been hurt very badly. Do you understand?" she says. + +Anna and Ben nod and hug their mom. They understand and they are sorry. + +"Can we still play in the park, mom?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, you can. But you have to stay on the ground and play with the other toys. No more climbing the tree, okay?" their mom says. + +"Okay, mom. Thank you, mom.

But it was brown and soft and tasted bad. He spat it out and made a face. + +"Yuck, this apple is spoiled!" he said. "It has worms in it." + +Lily saw Ben's face and dropped the apple she was holding. She did not want to eat a spoiled apple either. She looked at the tree and wished she could pick a fresh apple. + +"Maybe we can ask for help," she said. "Maybe someone has a ladder or a stick." + +She saw a man walking by with a dog. She waved at him and called out. + +"Excuse me, sir, can you help us?" she said. "We want to pick some apples from the tree, but they are too high. Do you have a ladder or a stick?" + +The man smiled and stopped. He looked at the tree and the apples on the ground. + +"Sorry, kids, I don't have a ladder or a stick," he said. "But I have something better. I have a dog." + +He pointed at his dog, who was wagging his tail. He had a big, fluffy coat and long ears. + +"His name is Rover, and he loves apples," he said. "He can jump very high and catch them with his mouth. Watch this." + +He threw a stick at the tree and said, "Fetch, Rover, fetch!" + +Rover ran after the stick and jumped up. He caught an apple with his mouth and brought it back to the man. He dropped the apple and the stick and barked happily. + +"Good boy, Rover, good boy!" the man said. He gave him a pat and a treat. He picked up the apple and handed it to Lily. + +"Here you go, little girl, a fresh apple for you," he said. "Do you want one too, little boy?" + +Ben nodded eagerly. He wanted an apple too. The man threw the stick again and Rover fetched another apple. He gave it to Ben. + +"Thank you, sir, thank you, Rover!" Lily and Ben said. They smiled and bit into their apples. They were juicy and sweet and crunchy. They liked them very much. + +"You're welcome, kids, you're welcome," the man said. "Enjoy your apples. Come on, Rover, let's go." + +He waved goodbye and walked away with Rover. Lily and Ben waved back and thanked them again. They finished their apples and threw the cores in the trash. They were happy and full. They decided to play some more in the park. They had a fun day. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. + +"Look, my car is faster than yours!" Lily said, zooming her car past Ben's. + +"No, it's not! My car is faster!" Ben said, chasing after her car. + +They raced their cars around the room, until they came to a big book. It was a book about fishermen and the sea. Lily stopped her car and looked at the book. + +"Wow, what is this?" she asked, pointing at a picture of a fisherman on a boat. + +"That's a fisherman. He catches fish with a net or a rod," Ben explained. + +"What are fish?" Lily asked. + +"Fish are animals that live in the water. They have scales and fins and gills. They swim and breathe under the water," Ben said. + +"Can we catch fish?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe. We need a net or a rod and some bait. And we need to go to the water," Ben said. + +"Let's go to the water!" Lily said, excited. + +They got up and ran to the door, holding their cars. They opened the door and saw their mom in the kitchen. + +"Where are you going?" their mom asked. + +"We're going to catch fish!" Lily said. + +"With your cars?" their mom asked. + +"Yes, with our cars!" Ben said. + +Their mom smiled and shook her head. + +"You can't catch fish with your cars, silly. You need a net or a rod and some bait. And you need to be careful near the water," she said. + +"But we want to catch fish!" Lily said. + +"Maybe another day, honey. Why don't you play with your cars some more? You can pretend they are boats and fish," their mom suggested. + +Lily and Ben thought for a moment. Then they nodded and ran back to the floor. They put their cars on the book and pretended it was the water. They made their cars go forward and reverse, and made fish noises. + +"Look, I caught a fish!" Lily said, lifting her car. + +"Me too!" Ben said, lifting his car. + +They laughed and played with their cars and the book. They had fun pretending to be fishermen. +Ben is a curious boy. He likes to look at everything and ask questions. One day, he sees a big box in the living room. He wonders what is inside. He walks to the box and tries to open it. + +But the box is too heavy for Ben. He cannot lift the lid. He looks around and sees a chair. He has an idea. He grabs the chair and pushes it to the box. He climbs on the chair and reaches for the lid. + +But he is not quick enough. His mom sees him and says, "Ben, stop! That box is not for you. It is a surprise for your birthday." She runs to the box and takes Ben off the chair. She hugs him and says, "I know you are curious, but you have to wait until your birthday to see what is inside. It is something very special." + +Ben feels sad. He wants to see the surprise. He asks, "Mom, when is my birthday?" His mom smiles and says, "It is tomorrow, Ben. You only have to wait one more day. Can you do that?" Ben nods and says, "Okay, mom. I will wait. But can you give me a hint?" His mom thinks and says, "It is something soft and furry and cute. And it makes a sound like this: meow." Ben's eyes light up and he says, "Is it a cat?" His mom says, "Maybe. You will find out tomorrow. Now, let's go and have a snack. Do you want some cookies and milk?" Ben says, "Yes, please. And thank you, mom. I love you." His mom says, "I love you too, Ben. You are my curious and clever boy." They go to the kitchen and have a snack. Ben is happy. He can't wait for his birthday. He hopes it is a cat. He loves cats. +Lily liked to look at the owl in the big tree. The owl had big eyes and a soft coat. The owl made a funny sound at night. Lily wanted to be friends with the owl. + +One day, Lily saw the owl sleeping on a branch. She had a good idea. She took a ladder from the shed and put it near the tree. She climbed up the ladder very quietly. She wanted to touch the owl and say hello. + +But the owl did not like Lily's idea. The owl woke up and saw Lily. The owl was scared and angry. The owl opened its beak and bit Lily's hand. Lily screamed and let go of the ladder. She fell down and hurt her leg. + +Lily's mom heard the scream and ran outside. She saw Lily crying on the ground and the owl flying away. She picked up Lily and took her inside. She cleaned her wound and put a bandage on it. She said, "Lily, you should not bother the owl. The owl is not a toy. The owl is a wild animal. The owl does not want to be friends with you." + +Lily was sad and frustrated. She did not enjoy her idea. She did not enjoy the owl. She did not enjoy the day. She wished she had listened to her mom. +Lily liked to fold paper. She learned how to make paper hats, paper boats, and paper planes in her class. She had a lot of fun with her friends, making and playing with their paper creations. + +One day, Lily saw a fancy book in the library. It had pictures of paper animals, like dogs, cats, and birds. Lily wanted to learn how to fold paper animals, too. She asked the librarian if she could borrow the book. The librarian said yes, but she had to be careful with the book, because it was very old and special. + +Lily took the book home and looked at it. She saw a paper frog that looked very cute. She wanted to make one for her teacher, Miss Lee, who liked frogs. She followed the steps in the book, folding and unfolding the paper. She was very proud of her paper frog. It looked just like the one in the book. + +The next day, Lily brought her paper frog to school. She wanted to show it to Miss Lee and her friends. She put it in her backpack and waited for the right time. She thought Miss Lee would be very happy and surprised. + +But when Lily opened her backpack, she saw that her paper frog was gone. Instead, there was a hole in her backpack and a trail of paper scraps. Lily felt very sad and confused. What happened to her paper frog? Who took it? She looked around and saw a big dog outside the window. The dog had something green in its mouth. It was her paper frog! The dog had seen her backpack through the window and ripped it open. It thought her paper frog was a real frog and wanted to play with it. + +Lily ran to the window and shouted, "Hey, dog, give me back my paper frog! That's not for you!" But the dog did not listen. It ran away with her paper frog, wagging its tail. Lily felt very angry and sad. She had worked so hard to make her paper frog, and now it was gone. She started to cry. + +Miss Lee saw Lily crying and asked her what was wrong. Lily told her everything. She showed her the book, the hole, and the paper scraps. She said she was sorry she could not give her the paper frog. She said she wanted to make her happy. + +Miss Lee hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, Lily. I'm very sorry about your paper frog, too. But I'm very happy that you thought of me and made something so special for me. You are very kind and talented. I'm very proud of you." + +She took Lily to the library and asked the librarian if they could have some more paper. She said they wanted to make another paper frog together. The librarian smiled and gave them some paper. She said she was glad they liked the book. + +Lily and Miss Lee went back to the class and folded a new paper frog. They followed the steps in the book, but they also added some stickers and glitter to make it more fancy. They had a lot of fun. Lily felt better. She gave the new paper frog to Miss Lee and said, "This is for you, Miss Lee. I hope you like it." + +Miss Lee smiled and said, "I love it, Lily. Thank you very much. You are a very good friend." She put the paper frog on her desk and said, "This is the best paper frog I've ever seen. It's even better than the one in the book." +Lily and Ben were very excited. They were going to the zoo with their mom and dad. They had been saving their money for a long time to buy tickets. They had a big jar full of coins that they had earned by doing chores and helping out. + +"Can we count the money again, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey. Let's see how much we have." Mom said. She poured the coins on the table and helped Lily and Ben sort them into piles. + +"One, two, three, four, five..." Lily counted the pennies. + +"Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty..." Ben counted the nickels. + +They counted the dimes and the quarters too. They added up all the piles and wrote the total on a piece of paper. + +"Wow, we have enough for four tickets!" Ben exclaimed. + +"That's great, kids. You worked hard and saved well. I'm proud of you." Dad said. + +They put the money in an envelope and got ready to go. They put on their hats and coats and grabbed their backpacks. They walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus. + +On the bus, they saw a man in a fancy suit and a woman in a shiny dress. They had a lot of bags and jewelry. They looked very wealthy. + +"Look at them, mom. They have so much stuff." Lily whispered. + +"Yes, they do. But you know what? Stuff doesn't make you happy. It's the people you love and the things you enjoy that matter." Mom said. + +"I know, mom. I love you and dad and Ben. And I love the zoo. I can't wait to see the animals." Lily said. + +"Me too, Lily. Me too." Ben said. + +They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy. They had enough. +Tom and Anna like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, cars, towers and animals with their blocks. Sometimes they share their blocks and sometimes they want their own. + +One day, Tom and Anna find a new block in their toy box. It is a big, shiny, red block with a button on it. They wonder what it does. They both want to play with it. They start to pull the block from each other. + +"Give me the block!" Tom says. + +"No, it is mine!" Anna says. + +They pull harder and harder. The block makes a loud noise. It says: "Attach me to another block and see what happens!" + +Tom and Anna stop pulling. They look at the block. They are curious. They decide to try what the block says. They find a yellow block and attach it to the red block. They press the button. The block makes another noise. It says: "Good job! You made a fire truck!" + +Tom and Anna are happy. They see a picture of a fire truck on the block. They make siren sounds and pretend to drive the fire truck. They find more blocks and attach them to the red block. They make a police car, an ambulance, a helicopter and a train. They have fun with their new block. + +They thank the block for teaching them new things. The block says: "You are welcome! You are very smart and humble. You can make anything you want with your blocks. Just use your look and your imagination!" +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide on the big slide. It was fun and fast. But today, the slide was wet. It rained last night and the slide was slippery. + +"Be careful, Lily," Ben said. "The slide is slippery. You might slip and fall." + +"I'm not scared, Ben," Lily said. "I like to slide fast. Watch me!" + +Lily climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. She pushed herself down with her feet. She slid very fast. She was happy. But then, she slipped. She slid off the slide and landed on the grass. She was not hurt, but she was surprised. + +"Ouch!" Lily said. "That was not fun. That was a surprise." + +Ben ran to Lily and helped her up. He was worried. He hugged her and said, "Are you okay, Lily? I'm sorry you slipped. Do you want to play something else?" + +Lily nodded. She was okay, but she did not want to slide anymore. She looked around the park and saw something else. She saw a swing. She liked to swing. She said, "Let's go to the swing, Ben. The swing is not slippery. The swing is perfect." + +Ben smiled. He liked to swing too. He said, "Okay, Lily. Let's go to the swing. The swing is perfect." + +They ran to the swing and took turns pushing each other. They swung high and low. They laughed and sang. They had fun. They forgot about the slide. They were happy. The swing was perfect. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in a big box. + +One day, they find a new toy. It is a big red fire truck. It has a wide ladder and a loud siren. It can spray water and make gas. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily says. "It is a fire truck. I want to play with it." + +"Me too!" Sam says. "It is a cool fire truck. Let me see it." + +They both reach for the fire truck. They pull and tug. They do not want to let go. + +"Mine!" Lily says. + +"No, mine!" Sam says. + +They start to cry. They are not happy. + +Mom hears them. She comes to see what is wrong. + +"Why are you crying?" Mom asks. + +"Lily and Sam point at the fire truck. They both say, "Mine!" + +Mom shakes her head. She says, "You cannot both have the fire truck. You have to share. Sharing is nice. Sharing is fun. You can take turns. You can play together. You can be happy." + +Lily and Sam look at Mom. They look at the fire truck. They look at each other. + +They think for a moment. They nod their heads. + +"Okay, Mom," they say. "We will share. We will take turns. We will play together. We will be happy." + +They smile. They hug. They say, "Sorry." + +They pick up the fire truck. They push the buttons. They make the siren and the gas. They spray the water. They move the ladder. They pretend to be firefighters. + +They have fun. They are happy. They are friends. They share. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big train set that their dad gave them. The train set had many pieces, like tracks, bridges, stations, and cars. The cars were fragile, which means they could break easily if you were not careful. + +One day, Tom and Lily were playing with the train set, and they wanted to make it go faster and faster. They pushed the button on the controller, and the train zoomed around the tracks. They laughed and clapped as they watched the train. But then, something bad happened. The train went too fast on a curve, and it flew off the track. It crashed into the wall, and one of the cars broke into pieces. + +Tom and Lily gasped and ran to the broken car. They knelt down, which means they bent their legs and put their knees on the floor, and picked up the pieces. They tried to put them back together, but they could not. They felt sad and scared. They knew they were in trouble, which means they did something wrong and their dad would be angry. + +They heard their dad coming home from work. They quickly hid the broken car under the sofa, and put the other cars back on the track. They pretended to play with the train set, but they did not feel happy. They hoped their dad would not find out. + +But their dad was smart. He saw the train set, and he noticed that one car was missing. He looked under the sofa, and he found the broken car. He was not happy. He called Tom and Lily, and asked them what happened. They looked down, and did not say anything. They knew they had to tell the truth, and say sorry. They learned a lesson, which means they understood something important. They learned that they had to be careful with their toys, and not play too rough. They also learned that they had to be honest, and not hide their mistakes. Their dad was still angry, but he also loved them. He hugged them, and said he would help them fix the car. He also said they had to play with the train set only when he was with them. Tom and Lily nodded, and said they were sorry. They felt better, and they thanked their dad. They still liked the train set, but they also liked their dad more. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily found a shiny fork and showed it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, I found a fork! It is pretty and shiny. Can I keep it?" Lily asked. + +Tom nodded. "Yes, you can keep it. But be careful, it has sharp points. Do not poke yourself or anyone else with it." + +Lily smiled and put the fork in her pocket. She wanted to show it to her mom later. She and Tom kept playing until it was time to go inside. + +Lily ran to the kitchen to find her mom. She wanted to show her the fork. But her mom was busy making dinner. She did not see Lily coming. + +"Mom, mom, look what I found!" Lily shouted as she pulled out the fork. + +But she was too fast and clumsy. She tripped over a chair and fell to the floor. The fork flew out of her hand and hit her mom in the eye. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" her mom screamed. She dropped the pot she was holding and covered her eye with her hand. Blood dripped from her face. + +Lily was scared and sorry. She did not mean to hurt her mom. She started to cry. + +"Mom, mom, I am sorry, I am sorry! Are you okay?" Lily sobbed. + +Her mom did not answer. She was in too much pain. She could not see with her eye. She needed to go to the hospital. + +Lily's dad came running from the living room. He saw what happened and was shocked and angry. + +"Lily, what did you do? How could you be so careless? You hurt your mom with that fork! Give me that fork right now!" he yelled. + +He took the fork from Lily and threw it in the trash. He picked up his wife and carried her to the car. He told Lily to stay with her grandma, who lived next door. + +Lily was left alone in the kitchen. She felt bad and sad. She wished she never found the fork. She wished she could heal her mom's eye. She wished her dad was not mad at her. She wished she was more graceful and careful. She wished she could play with Tom again. But she could not. She had ruined everything. +Tom and Mia were playing with their toy boats in the bathtub. They had a lot of fun making waves and splashing water. Tom had a red boat and Mia had a yellow boat. They pretended they were pirates and explorers. + +"Look, Mia, I found a treasure island!" Tom said, pointing to a soap bar. "Let's go and dig for gold and jewels!" + +"Okay, Tom, but be careful not to sink your boat!" Mia said, following him with her boat. + +They reached the soap bar and started to poke it with their fingers. They made holes and shapes in the soap. They laughed and cheered when they found some glitter and beads inside. + +"Wow, this is a real treasure!" Tom said, holding a shiny bead. "We are rich, Mia!" + +"Yay, Tom, we are rich!" Mia said, holding a glittery bead. "But wait, what's that?" + +Mia noticed that Tom's boat was tilting and sinking. She saw water dripping from a hole in the bottom of the boat. + +"Oh no, Tom, your boat has a leak!" Mia said, pointing to the hole. "You need to fix it or it will drown!" + +Tom looked at his boat and realized that Mia was right. He felt sad and scared. He loved his boat and he didn't want to lose it. + +"Don't worry, Tom, I have an idea!" Mia said, being thoughtful. "We can use some of the soap to plug the hole. It will stop the water from coming in!" + +Mia took a piece of soap and pressed it on the hole. She smoothed it with her finger. She gave the boat back to Tom. + +"Here, Tom, try it now!" Mia said, smiling. "Your boat is fixed!" + +Tom took his boat and put it in the water. He saw that the leak was gone. He felt happy and relieved. He hugged his boat and thanked Mia. + +"Thank you, Mia, you are the best!" Tom said, smiling. "You saved my boat and my treasure!" + +"You're welcome, Tom, you are my friend!" Mia said, smiling. "We can share the treasure and play together!" + +Tom and Mia continued to play with their boats and their treasure. They had a lot of fun and they were very kind to each other. They were the best pirates and explorers in the bathtub. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big castle made of sand. It had towers and walls and a flag. + +"Wow, look at the castle!" Lily said. "Can we play there?" + +"Sure, let's go!" Tom said. They ran to the castle and started to touch it. + +But the castle was not soft. It was sharp. Some of the sand had shells and stones in it. They hurt Lily and Tom's fingers. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. "The castle is sharp! It makes me bleed!" + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. "The castle is sharp! It makes me bleed too!" + +They ran away from the castle and looked for their mom. She was sitting on a bench with a basket. + +"Mom, mom, mom!" Lily and Tom shouted. "The castle is sharp! It hurts us!" + +Mom saw their fingers and gave them a hug. She took out some band-aids and put them on their wounds. + +"There, there," Mom said. "The castle is sharp, but you are brave. The band-aids will help you heal. You are healthy and strong." + +Lily and Tom smiled and thanked Mom. They decided to play somewhere else. They saw a slide and a swing and a seesaw. They had fun and forgot about the sharp castle. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a man with a cart. He had many things to sell. He had ice cream, candy, juice and more. + +"Can we have some ice cream, please?" Lily asked her mom. + +"Sure, sweetie. What flavor do you want?" Mom said. + +"I want chocolate. Tom, what do you want?" Lily said. + +"I want mint. Mint is green and cool." Tom said. + +Mom gave the man some money and he gave them two cones. Lily licked her chocolate ice cream. It was sweet and creamy. Tom licked his mint ice cream. It was fresh and cold. + +"Mmm, this is good. Do you like yours, Tom?" Lily said. + +Tom made a face. He did not like his ice cream. It was too strong and bitter. He frowned and said, "No, I don't like it. It hurts my tongue. Can I have yours, Lily?" + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to give her ice cream to Tom. She liked it too much. She said, "No, you can't have mine. You chose mint. You have to eat it." + +Tom was sad and angry. He threw his cone on the ground. He said, "I don't want it. It's yucky. You are mean, Lily." + +Mom saw what Tom did. She was not happy. She said, "Tom, that was not nice. You wasted your ice cream and made a mess. You have to say sorry to Lily and the man." + +Tom did not want to say sorry. He crossed his arms and pouted. He said, "No, I won't say sorry. It's not fair. Lily has the better ice cream." + +Mom sighed. She said, "Tom, you have to learn to share and be polite. Sometimes you don't get what you want. You have to try new things and be grateful. How would you feel if Lily did the same to you?" + +Tom thought for a moment. He realized that he would feel bad if Lily threw her ice cream and called him mean. He felt sorry for what he did. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, man. I was wrong. Can I have a hug?" + +Mom smiled and hugged Tom. She said, "That's okay, Tom. I'm glad you said sorry. I love you. Do you want to try some of my ice cream? It's vanilla. It's warm and smooth." + +Tom nodded and smiled. He said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Mom. I love you too. Can I still play with Lily?" + +Lily smiled and hugged Tom. She said, "Of course, you can. You are my brother. I love you. Do you want to go on the seesaw?" + +Tom said, "Yes, I do. Let's go. Maybe next time I will try chocolate. It looks good." + +They ran to the seesaw and had fun. They forgot about the ice cream and the mint. They were happy and warm. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play and have fun. They do not like to wake up early. But today, they have to wake up early. Their mom and dad are going to university. They have a big test. They need to study hard. + +"Ben, Lily, wake up!" Mom says. "We have to go soon. You will stay with grandma today." + +Ben and Lily groan. They do not want to go to grandma's house. Grandma is old and boring. She does not have any toys or games. She only has books and puzzles. + +"Can we stay home?" Ben asks. + +"No, you can't," Dad says. "You are too small to stay home alone. Grandma will take good care of you. Be good and listen to her." + +Mom and Dad kiss Ben and Lily goodbye. They get in the car and drive away. Ben and Lily wave sadly. + +Grandma comes to pick them up. She smiles and hugs them. She takes them to her house. She gives them breakfast and milk. She tells them stories and sings songs. She tries to make them happy. + +But Ben and Lily are not happy. They are bored and angry. They want to have fun. They want to be wild. + +They decide to run away. They wait for grandma to fall asleep. Then they sneak out of the house. They run to the park. They see a big slide and a swing. They see a pond and a duck. They see a lot of things to do. + +They laugh and shout. They climb and jump. They splash and chase. They have a lot of fun. They forget about mom and dad and grandma. They forget about time. + +But then, something bad happens. Ben falls from the slide. He hurts his arm. He cries and bleeds. Lily runs to him. She is scared and sorry. She does not know what to do. + +She looks for help. She sees a man. He is big and mean. He has a bag and a knife. He sees Ben and Lily. He smiles and walks to them. He wants to take their things. He wants to hurt them. + +Ben and Lily scream. They are in trouble. They wish they had stayed with grandma. They wish they had listened to mom and dad. They wish they had not been wild. +Ben and Lily are playing in the garden. They have a big box of toys. They like to dig holes and bury their toys. Then they pretend to be pirates and look for treasure. + +"Look, I buried my car here," Ben says, pointing to a mound of dirt. "Can you find it?" + +Lily nods and grabs a shovel. She starts to dig. She likes to play with Ben. He is her best friend. + +But as she digs, she feels something wet. She looks at her shovel. It is covered in mud. She looks at the hole. It is full of water. + +"Oh no, it rained last night," Lily says. "The hole is wet. Your car is wet too." + +Ben runs to the hole and looks inside. He sees his car. It is dirty and wet. He feels sad. He likes his car. It is his favorite toy. + +"Don't worry, Ben," Lily says. "We can wash your car. It will be clean and dry again. Come on, let's go to the hose." + +She takes his hand and leads him to the hose. She turns on the water and sprays his car. She rubs it with a cloth. She makes it shiny and bright. + +"Here you go, Ben," she says, handing him his car. "It is as good as new. Do you still want to play pirates?" + +Ben smiles and hugs his car. He feels happy. He likes Lily. She is his best friend. + +"Yes, let's play pirates," he says. "But let's bury something else. Something that won't get wet." + +They look at their box of toys. They see a plastic ball, a rubber duck, and a will. A will is a paper that says who gets your things when you are gone. Ben's dad gave it to him. He said it was a joke. + +"Let's bury the will," Ben says. "It is funny and silly. And it won't get wet." + +Lily agrees. They dig a new hole and bury the will. Then they draw a map and hide it. They pretend to be pirates and look for treasure. They have fun. They are happy. They are best friends. +Tom and Lily are playing ball in the yard. They are having fun. They throw the ball to each other and catch it. They laugh and shout. + +Mom is in the kitchen. She is busy. She is making a cake for Dad's birthday. She does not see Tom and Lily. She hears them, but she does not mind. She thinks they are good kids. + +But then, something bad happens. Tom throws the ball too hard. Lily misses it. The ball flies over her head and hits the window. The window breaks. It makes a loud noise. Glass falls on the ground. + +Mom hears the noise. She runs to the yard. She sees the broken window. She sees the ball. She sees Tom and Lily. She is angry. She says, "What did you do? You broke the window! That was very naughty! You could have hurt yourself or someone else! You have to say sorry and help me clean up!" + +Tom and Lily are scared. They did not mean to break the window. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not want to break the window. We were just playing. We will help you clean up. Please do not be mad at us." + +Mom is still angry, but she is also glad that Tom and Lily are not hurt. She says, "I am glad you are sorry, but you have to be more careful. You have to play with the ball away from the house. And you have to listen to me when I tell you to stop. Now, come and help me pick up the glass. And then, you have to go to your room and think about what you did." + +Tom and Lily nod. They help Mom pick up the glass. They are careful not to cut themselves. They say sorry again. They go to their room. They are sad. They hope Mom will forgive them. They hope Dad will still like his cake. They hope they can play with the ball again. But not near the window. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big carrot in the ground. Lily wanted to pull it out and eat it. Ben was scared. + +"Maybe it belongs to someone," he said. "Maybe it is a trap." + +Lily laughed. "Don't be silly, Ben. It is just a carrot. It is good for you. I dare you to pull it out with me." + +Ben shook his head. "No, thank you. I don't want to get in trouble. You do it if you want." + +Lily shrugged. She was not afraid. She was smart. She grabbed the carrot and pulled hard. But the carrot did not come out. It was stuck. Lily pulled harder. She felt something tug back. + +"Help!" she cried. "Something is pulling the carrot!" + +Ben ran to her. He saw a furry face pop out of the ground. It was a rabbit. The rabbit had been holding the carrot. It was his lunch. + +"Hello," the rabbit said. "Who are you? Why are you taking my carrot?" + +Lily and Ben were surprised. They did not know rabbits could talk. They felt sorry for the rabbit. + +"We are sorry, Mr. Rabbit," Lily said. "We did not know it was your carrot. We were just playing. We like carrots too." + +The rabbit smiled. He was not angry. He was friendly. He liked children. + +"That's all right," he said. "I have plenty of carrots in my burrow. You can have this one if you want. But next time, please ask before you take something that is not yours. It is not nice to steal." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They thanked the rabbit. They shared the carrot with him. They became friends. They learned a lesson. They never dared to take something that was not theirs again. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. But the sun is very bright and hurts their eyes. They want to make sunglasses to protect their eyes. + +They look for things to make sunglasses. They find two paper plates, a scissors, a glue and some crayons. They cut out two circles from each paper plate. They glue the circles together to make lenses. They color the lenses with crayons. They make two holes on the sides of each lens. They tie a string through the holes to make a band. + +They put on their sunglasses and look at each other. They laugh. They look very funny. Their sunglasses are big and colorful. They look like clowns. + +They run outside with their sunglasses. They show their sunglasses to their other friends. Their friends also laugh. They think Tom and Mia are very creative. They ask them to make sunglasses for them too. + +Tom and Mia are happy. They make more sunglasses for their friends. They have fun playing outside with their sunglasses. They are not afraid of the sun anymore. They are proud of their sunglasses. They think they are the best sunglasses ever. +Lily liked to dream. She dreamed of many things. She dreamed of flying in the sky, of swimming in the sea, of playing with her friends. She dreamed of daisies, too. She loved daisies. They were white and yellow and pretty. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big field of daisies. She ran to them and picked some. She made a crown of daisies and put it on her head. She felt like a princess. She smiled and twirled and sang. + +But then, a big dog came. The dog was dirty and smelly. It barked and jumped and ran. It saw Lily and her daisies. It wanted to play. It ran to Lily and knocked her down. It licked her face and bit her crown. It made her daisies dirty and broken. + +Lily was sad and scared. She cried and screamed. Her mom came and hugged her. She shooed the dog away. She cleaned Lily's face and hands. She said, "It's okay, Lily. The dog didn't mean to hurt you. He just wanted to have fun. But he was too rough and rude. I'm sorry he ruined your daisies." + +Lily sniffed and nodded. She looked at her daisies. They were dirty and broken. She didn't feel like a princess anymore. She felt like a mess. She said, "I don't like dirty dogs. I like daisies. They are white and yellow and pretty. Can we get some more?" + +Her mom smiled and kissed her. She said, "Of course, Lily. We can get some more daisies. And maybe some other flowers, too. How about roses, or tulips, or sunflowers? They are red and pink and orange and pretty. And they smell nice, too." + +Lily smiled and nodded. She said, "Yes, mom. I like roses, and tulips, and sunflowers. And I like daisies, too. They are my favorite. Can I dream of them tonight?" + +Her mom said, "Sure, Lily. You can dream of anything you want. You can dream of flowers, or flying, or swimming, or playing. You can dream of being a princess, or a fairy, or a star. You can dream of anything that makes you happy." + +Lily hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You make me happy. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you, too, Lily. You are my dream come true." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They see a big slide. It is red and shiny. Lily thinks it is attractive. She wants to go on it. + +"Come on, Ben. Let's go on the slide. It is fun and fast." Lily says. + +Ben is scared. He thinks the slide is too high. He does not want to go on it. + +"No, Lily. I don't want to go on the slide. It is scary and steep." Ben says. + +Lily is sad. She wants to play with Ben. She tries to make him feel brave. + +"Don't be scared, Ben. I will go with you. We can hold hands. It will be fun. Please, Ben. Please." Lily says. + +Ben looks at Lily. He sees her big eyes. They are blue and bright. He blinks. He likes Lily. He wants to make her happy. + +"Okay, Lily. I will go with you. But you have to hold my hand. And we have to go slow." Ben says. + +Lily smiles. She is happy. She holds Ben's hand. They climb the stairs. They sit on the slide. They slide down. They feel the wind. They laugh. + +They did it. They are not scared. They are proud. They hug. + +They are friends. They like to play at the park. They like the slide. It is attractive. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a doll with a pink bow in her hair. Ben has a truck with big wheels. They are having fun making noises and pretending to go on adventures. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud bang from the kitchen. They look at each other with shock. What was that? They run to the kitchen to see what happened. They see their mom holding a pot with smoke coming out of it. She looks scared and sad. + +"Oh no, I burned the soup!" she says. "I was trying to make something yummy for lunch, but I forgot to watch the pot. Now it's all ruined and messy." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry for their mom. They want to help her. They hug her and say, "It's okay, mom. We love you. We can help you clean up and make something else." + +Their mom smiles and says, "Thank you, my sweeties. You are so helpful and kind. How about we make some sandwiches and fruit salad instead? That's easy and tasty." + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "Yes, mom. That sounds good. We can put bows on the sandwiches to make them pretty." + +Their mom laughs and says, "That's a great idea. Let's do that. You are so creative and smart." + +They go to the table and start making sandwiches and fruit salad. They put bows on the sandwiches and on their plates. They have a fun and happy lunch together. They forget about the burned soup and the loud bang. They are glad they have each other. +Mia and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had a sign that said "Do not open until Christmas". Mia and Ben were curious and naughty. They wanted to see what was inside the box. + +"Let's open it and peek," Mia said. "Maybe it is a toy or a game." + +"No, we can't," Ben said. "Mom and Dad will be angry. They said this is a special event and we have to wait." + +But Mia did not listen. She tore the tape and lifted the lid. Inside the box, there was a big, furry thing. It had sharp teeth and claws. It growled and jumped out of the box. Mia and Ben screamed and ran away. + +The thing chased them around the garage. It was a bear! It was not a toy or a game. It was a real, scary bear. Mia and Ben trembled with fear. They did not know what to do. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. "There is a bear in the garage!" + +Mom and Dad heard their cries and came to the garage. They saw the bear and the open box. They were shocked and angry. They grabbed Mia and Ben and took them inside the house. They locked the door and called the animal control. + +"Mia and Ben, you were very naughty," Mom said. "You opened the box that was not for you. You could have been hurt by the bear. You ruined the event. The bear was a surprise for the zoo. We were going to take you there on Christmas and show you the new animal. But now you spoiled it." + +Mia and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they made a big mistake. They hugged Mom and Dad and said they were sorry. They promised to never be naughty again. They hoped the bear would be okay and find a new home. They learned to respect the signs and wait for the events. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, their mom comes in with a big smile. She has a surprise for them. + +"Look, Sara and Ben, this is your new baby brother. His name is Max. He is an infant. He is very small and cute. Do you want to say hello to him?" Mom says. + +Sara and Ben are curious. They go near the crib and peek at Max. He is sleeping. He has soft hair and tiny fingers. Sara and Ben think he is adorable. + +"Hi, Max. We are your big sister and brother. We are happy to meet you. We will play with you when you wake up." Sara says. + +"Hi, Max. You are part of our family now. We will share our toys with you. We will be nice to you." Ben says. + +Mom is proud of Sara and Ben. They are polite and sweet. She hugs them and kisses them. + +"You are very good, Sara and Ben. You are adding a lot of love to our family. Max is lucky to have you. I love you all very much." Mom says. + +Sara and Ben smile. They love Mom and Max. They are a happy family. They can't wait to have fun with their new baby brother. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big box near the fence. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's enter the box," Tom said. "Maybe there is something fun." + +"OK," Lily said. "But be careful. It might be dark." + +They opened the box and crawled inside. It was dark and cozy. They saw some hay and feathers. They heard a soft sound. + +"Cluck, cluck, cluck." + +They looked around and saw a chicken. The chicken was hidden in the box. It was sitting on some eggs. + +"Hello, chicken," Tom said. "Why are you here?" + +The chicken looked at them and said, "Shh, shh, shh. I am making babies. Please don't scare them." + +Tom and Lily were surprised. They had never seen a chicken making babies before. + +"Wow, that is amazing," Lily said. "Can we see them?" + +The chicken nodded and moved a little. They saw some small cracks on the eggs. They heard some peeps. + +"Look, they are coming out," Tom said. "They are so cute." + +They watched the baby chickens hatch from the eggs. They were yellow and fluffy. They cuddled with their mother. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They were happy to see the chicken and her babies. They decided to leave them alone and play somewhere else. + +"Bye, chicken," Tom said. "Thank you for showing us your babies." + +"Bye, bye," Lily said. "We will come back and visit you soon." + +The chicken said, "Thank you for being nice. You are good friends." + +Tom and Lily exited the box and closed it gently. They ran and jumped and laughed. They had a new secret in the garden. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a red bow on its neck. + +"Hello, dog!" Tom says. "You are very pretty. Can we pet you?" + +The dog wags its tail. It likes Tom and Mia. It bows its head and lets them touch its fur. + +"Wow, you are so soft!" Mia says. "What is your name?" + +The dog barks. It sounds like "Woof". + +"Woof is a good name," Tom says. "Do you want to play with us, Woof?" + +Woof nods. It follows Tom and Mia to the slide. They take turns sliding down. Woof runs up and down the hill. They have a lot of fun. + +After a while, they get hungry. Tom and Mia have some sandwiches and juice. They share with Woof. Woof likes the sandwiches. They are tasty. + +"Thank you for the food," Woof says. "You are very kind." + +"You are welcome, Woof," Tom and Mia say. "You are very nice." + +They hug Woof. Woof licks their faces. + +"Where do you live, Woof?" Mia asks. "Do you have a home?" + +Woof points with his nose. He lives in the west. He has a house and a family. They love him very much. + +"That's good," Tom says. "We are happy for you, Woof." + +"We have to go now, Woof," Mia says. "But we will come back soon. Will you play with us again?" + +Woof nods. He will play with them again. He likes them very much. + +"Bye, Woof," Tom and Mia say. "See you soon." + +"Bye, Tom and Mia," Woof says. "See you soon." + +They wave to each other. They are friends. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw a big, hairy beetle on a leaf. It was black and shiny and had long legs. + +Lily wanted to touch the beetle. She reached out her hand and said, "Hello, beetle." But the beetle did not like Lily. It made a loud noise and flew away. Lily was sad and scared. She ran to her mom and hugged her. + +Mom saw the beetle and said, "That is a stag beetle, Lily. It is not a nice bug. It can bite and hurt you. You should not touch it. You should leave it alone." + +Lily nodded and said, "Sorry, mom. I did not know. I will not touch it again." Mom smiled and said, "That's okay, Lily. You are a good girl. Come, let's go inside and have a snack." + +Mom and Lily went inside the house and shut the door. The beetle stayed outside and looked for another leaf. It did not like people. It liked to be alone. +Lily and Tom are playing hide and seek in the park. Lily is the seeker and Tom is the hider. Tom runs to the west, where there are many thick trees. He finds a big tree with a hole and crawls inside. He thinks Lily will not find him there. + +Lily counts to ten and then opens her eyes. She looks around and sees the east, the north and the south. She does not see Tom. She thinks he must be in the west, where there are many thick trees. She runs to the west and starts to look for Tom. + +She looks behind the trees, under the bushes, and in the flowers. She does not see Tom. She starts to feel sad. She calls out, "Tom, where are you? I can't find you. Come out, come out, please!" + +Tom hears Lily's voice. He feels sorry for making her sad. He crawls out of the hole and waves his hand. He says, "Lily, I'm here! I'm sorry, I hid too well. You are a good seeker. Do you want to be the hider now?" + +Lily sees Tom and smiles. She runs to him and gives him a hug. She says, "Tom, I'm glad you are here. You are a good hider. Yes, I want to be the hider now. You count to ten and I will run to the east, where there are many thin trees. Maybe you will not find me there!" + +They laugh and switch roles. They keep playing hide and seek in the park. They have a lot of fun. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look at the sky. One night, they saw many stars in the sky. They were bright and pretty. + +"Look, Ben, that star is very big and shiny!" Lily said, pointing at the sky. + +"Yes, it is. Do you know what it is called?" Ben asked. + +Lily shook her head. She did not know the names of the stars. + +"That is the moon. It is not a star, but it hangs in the sky like a star. It is very special," Ben explained. + +Lily nodded. She liked the moon. It was like a big friend in the sky. + +"Can we hang a star in our room?" Lily asked. + +Ben thought for a moment. He had an idea. + +"Maybe we can. Come, I will show you," he said. + +He took Lily's hand and led her to his house. He had a box of stickers in his room. He gave Lily some star stickers. + +"Here, you can stick these on your wall. They will glow in the dark. They will be like stars in your room," he said. + +Lily smiled. She thanked Ben and took the stickers. She went to her room and stuck them on her wall. She turned off the light and saw the stars glow. + +She felt happy and cozy. She was not afraid of the dark anymore. She had stars in her room. + +She whispered to the stars, "Good night, stars. You are not shy. You are brave and beautiful. Thank you for hanging in my room." +Lily liked to question everything. She wanted to know how things worked and why they looked the way they did. She asked her mom and dad many questions every day. + +One day, Lily found a microscope in her dad's office. She wondered what it was and how it worked. She asked her dad if she could use it. Her dad smiled and said, "Sure, Lily. A microscope is a tool that helps you see very small things. You can put something on this glass and look through this eye. But be careful, it is not a toy. It is very delicate and expensive." + +Lily was very excited. She ran to the garden and picked a flower. She brought it back to the office and put it on the glass. She looked through the eye and saw many tiny parts of the flower. She saw the petals, the stem, the pollen, and the seeds. She was amazed by how beautiful and colorful they were. She said, "Wow, dad, this is so cool! The flower has so many things inside. Can I see more things with the microscope?" + +Her dad nodded and said, "Yes, Lily, you can see many things with the microscope. You can see a hair, a feather, a leaf, a bug, or anything else that is small. But you have to be gentle and flexible. You have to move the glass and the eye to find the best way to see. And you have to share the microscope with your brother, Tom. He also likes to question and learn." + +Lily agreed and said, "OK, dad, I will be gentle and flexible. And I will share with Tom. But can I ask you more questions?" + +Her dad laughed and said, "Of course, Lily, you can always ask me questions. I love your curiosity and your enthusiasm. You are a smart and wonderful girl." He hugged her and gave her a kiss. Lily smiled and hugged him back. She was happy and eager to explore more things with the microscope. +Lily and Tom are best friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with a swing. They run to the swing and take turns. + +"Can I go first?" Lily asks. + +"Okay, but only for a little bit," Tom says. + +Lily sits on the swing and holds the rope. She pushes with her feet and goes higher and higher. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She is very happy. + +"Wow, you are incredible!" Tom says. "You are so brave and fast!" + +Lily smiles and says, "Thank you, Tom. You are incredible, too. You are so kind and smart!" + +She swings even higher and tries to touch the sky. But then, she loses her grip and falls off the swing. She lands on the grass and hurts her lip. She starts to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she says. "My lip is bleeding!" + +Tom runs to her and helps her up. He hugs her and says, "Don't cry, Lily. You are okay. I will get you some water and a band-aid." + +He runs to the fountain and fills a cup with water. He comes back and gives it to Lily. He also finds a band-aid in his pocket and puts it on her lip. + +"There, you are better now," he says. "You are very strong and brave. I am sorry you fell off the swing." + +Lily drinks the water and feels better. She looks at Tom and says, "Thank you, Tom. You are very nice and helpful. I am sorry I scared you." + +She hugs him and says, "You are my best friend." + +Tom hugs her back and says, "You are my best friend, too." + +They smile and hold hands. They walk back to the swing and hang it on the tree. They decide to play something else. They are still incredible. +Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find bugs and worms. They saw a big clock on the wall of the house. The clock was old and brown. It did not tick or tock. + +"Look, a clock!" Tim said. "Can we play with it?" + +Lily shook her head. "No, Tim. The clock is bad. It is rot. It has germs. Mommy said so." + +Tim did not listen. He wanted to touch the clock. He climbed on a chair and reached for the clock. He pulled it off the wall. The clock fell on the ground. It broke into pieces. + +"Tim, no!" Lily cried. "You are naughty! Mommy will be mad!" + +Tim felt sorry. He looked at the clock. It was bitter. It smelled bad. He saw bugs and worms inside the clock. He felt sick. + +"Yuck!" Tim said. "The clock is rot. It has germs. Lily was right." + +He threw the clock away. He ran to Lily. He hugged her. + +"I am sorry, Lily. I was naughty. I will not touch the clock again." + +Lily hugged him back. She was kind. She forgave him. + +"It is okay, Tim. I am not mad. But we have to tell Mommy. She will help us clean the mess." + +They went to find Mommy. They told her what happened. Mommy was not happy. She scolded Tim. She made him wash his hands. She threw away the clock. She cleaned the garden. + +She also hugged Tim and Lily. She loved them. + +She said, "Next time, listen to Lily. She is smart. And do not touch things that are rot. They are bad for you. They can make you sick." + +Tim and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They played with other things. They had fun. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to name the animals best. Lily had a big bear and Tom had a small dog. + +"What is your bear's name?" Tom asked. + +"His name is Bob. He is very strong and brave. What is your dog's name?" Lily answered. + +"His name is Spot. He is very fast and smart. He can do tricks," Tom said. + +They made their animals talk and hug and fight. They had fun. + +But then, Lily saw something on the floor. It was a spider. It was black and hairy and had many legs. Lily was scared of spiders. She screamed. + +"Help! Help! A spider!" Lily cried. + +Tom heard Lily and ran to her. He saw the spider too. He was not scared of spiders. He thought they were harmless. He wanted to show Lily that the spider was not bad. + +"Don't worry, Lily. The spider is harmless. It won't hurt you. Look, I can touch it," Tom said. + +He reached out his hand to the spider. But the spider was not harmless. It was a bad spider. It bit Tom's finger. Tom felt a sharp pain. He screamed too. + +"Ow! Ow! The spider bit me! It hurts!" Tom cried. + +Lily and Tom were both crying. They ran to their mom. Their mom saw the spider bite. She was worried. She called the doctor. The doctor said the spider was poisonous. Tom had to go to the hospital. He had to get a shot. He was very sick. + +Lily and Tom were sad. They wished they had not played with the spider. They wished they had stayed with their toys. They learned a hard lesson. Not all spiders are harmless. Some spiders are bad. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and a big bed. They share everything and are happy. + +One day, mom says they have to go to the dentist. Sara and Tom do not like the dentist. The dentist has a big chair and a loud drill and a mask. The dentist makes their teeth hurt and their mouth bleed. They are scared. + +Mom says they have to hurry. She says they have to brush their teeth and put on their coats. Sara and Tom do not want to go. They hide under the bed and hope mom will not find them. + +Mom comes to their room. She looks for them. She sees their feet under the bed. She says, "Sara and Tom, come out now. We have to go to the dentist. It will not be so bad. I promise." + +Sara and Tom do not listen. They stay under the bed. They hold each other and whisper, "No, no, no." + +Mom gets angry. She pulls them out from under the bed. She says, "Sara and Tom, you are naughty. You have to go to the dentist. You have no choice. Now, rush to the car. We are late." + +Sara and Tom cry. They do not want to rush. They do not want to go to the car. They do not want to go to the dentist. They are uncomfortable. They are unhappy. They are sorry. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to watch films on the big screen. They have a film box with many films inside. They can choose one film every day. + +Today, Sara wants to watch a film about a princess and a dragon. Ben wants to watch a film about a robot and a spaceship. They both want to watch their film first. They start to fight and pull the film box. + +"Stop it, Ben! I want the princess film!" Sara says. + +"No, Sara! I want the robot film!" Ben says. + +They pull harder and harder. The film box breaks. The films fall out and get torn and dirty. Sara and Ben look at the films and start to weep. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken film box and the ruined films. She is sad and angry. + +"Sara and Ben, what have you done? You have spoiled all the films! Why did you fight?" Mom says. + +Sara and Ben are sorry. They stop weeping and hug Mom. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We both wanted to watch our film first. We did not share. We did not think," Sara and Ben say. + +Mom hugs them back. She is not angry anymore. She is glad they are sorry. + +"It's okay, Sara and Ben. I know you love films. But you have to learn to share and take turns. And you have to be careful with your things. Films are not toys. They are stories that someone made with their mind. They are creative," Mom says. + +Sara and Ben nod. They understand. They want to be creative too. + +"Mom, can we make our own film? We can use our toys and our camera. We can make a film about a princess and a robot and a dragon and a spaceship. We can share our ideas and work together," Sara and Ben say. + +Mom smiles. She thinks that is a good idea. + +"Sure, Sara and Ben. That sounds like a fun and creative film. I would love to watch it. But first, you have to clean up this mess. And then you have to say sorry to the film box and the films. They are your friends too," Mom says. + +Sara and Ben agree. They clean up the mess. They say sorry to the film box and the films. They put them away gently. Then they get their toys and their camera. They start to make their own film. They are happy and excited. They are creative. +Sara and Ben are twins, but they are very unique. Sara likes to play with dolls and draw with crayons. Ben likes to play with cars and build with blocks. One day, they decide to play catch with a ball in the yard. + +"Ben, throw the ball to me!" Sara says. She stands on one side of the yard, and Ben stands on the other side. + +"OK, Sara, here it comes!" Ben says. He throws the ball high in the air. Sara tries to catch it, but it is too fast. The ball goes over her head and lands in the bushes. + +"Oops, sorry, Sara!" Ben says. He runs to the bushes to find the ball. + +Sara follows him. She helps him look for the ball. They push the leaves and branches aside, but they cannot see the ball. + +"Where is it, Ben?" Sara asks. + +"I don't know, Sara. Maybe it rolled away," Ben says. + +They keep looking, but they do not find the ball. Instead, they find something else. It is a small, furry animal with big ears and a long tail. It is a rabbit! + +"Wow, look, Sara! A rabbit!" Ben says. + +"Wow, it is so cute, Ben!" Sara says. + +The rabbit looks at them with curious eyes. It hops closer to them and sniffs their hands. It lets them pet its soft fur. + +"Hello, rabbit. Do you want to play with us?" Sara asks. + +The rabbit nods its head. It picks up the ball with its teeth and tosses it to Sara. Sara catches it and throws it back to the rabbit. The rabbit catches it and throws it to Ben. Ben catches it and throws it to Sara. They play catch with the rabbit for a long time. They have a lot of fun. + +Sara and Ben are very unique, but they have something in common. They both love animals and making new friends. They are happy to play catch with the rabbit. They are happy to play catch with each other. They are happy to be twins. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a bucket and a shovel. They dig in the dirt and look for worms. + +"Look, I found a big worm!" Tom says. He holds up the worm in his hand. It is brown and wiggly. + +"Wow, that is a cool worm!" Sam says. He wants to see the worm. He reaches for the worm. + +"Be careful, don't hurt the worm!" Tom says. He puts the worm in the bucket. He covers it with some dirt. + +"Can I hold the worm?" Sam asks. He likes worms. They are soft and slimy. + +"Okay, but only for a little bit," Tom says. He gives the worm to Sam. Sam holds the worm gently. + +"Hello, worm. You are my friend," Sam says. He smiles at the worm. The worm wiggles in his hand. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" a voice says. It is Lily. She is Tom and Sam's friend. She comes to the park with her mom. + +"We are playing with worms," Tom says. He shows Lily the bucket. There are more worms in the bucket. + +"Yuck, worms are gross!" Lily says. She makes a face. She does not like worms. They are dirty and icky. + +"No, worms are cool!" Sam says. He still holds the worm. He likes the worm. + +"Worms are good for the dirt," Tom says. He knows a lot about worms. He read a book about worms. The book said that worms help the dirt grow plants. + +"Really?" Lily says. She is curious. She likes plants. She has a flower in her hair. + +"Yes, really," Tom says. He tells Lily what the book said. He mentions how worms make tunnels and eat dead things. + +"That is interesting," Lily says. She thinks maybe worms are not so gross. She wants to learn more about worms. + +"Can I see the worm?" Lily asks. She is brave. She reaches for the worm. + +"Sure, here you go," Sam says.

Anna and Ben wanted to try it, but they were a little scared. + +"Can you lend me your treasure?" Anna asked Ben. "It will make me brave." + +"OK, but you have to give it back," Ben said. He gave Anna his favorite treasure, a blue marble that sparkled in the sun. + +Anna held the marble in her hand and climbed up the ladder. She looked down and saw Ben waiting for her. She smiled and slid down the slide. She went very fast and felt the wind in her hair. She went through the tunnel and came out at the other end. She was so happy, she laughed out loud. + +"That was fun!" Anna said. "You are very adventurous, Anna," Ben said. "Can I try it too?" + +"Sure, but you have to lend me your treasure," Anna said.

He had a stick and some leaves. He put the leaves over the pit to hide it. "If a monster comes, it will fall in and we can catch it." + +Lily nodded. She had a rope and a basket. She put some apples in the basket and tied it to the rope. She hung the basket over the pit. "If a monster comes, it will see the apples and want to eat them. Then we can pull the rope and trap it." + +They waited behind a bush. They were very quiet. They hoped to see a monster. They were also very hungry. They wanted to eat the apples too. + +Soon, they heard a noise. It was their dog, Spot. He smelled the apples and ran towards the basket. He did not see the leaves or the pit. He jumped and grabbed an apple. + +"Spot, no!" Lily and Ben shouted. They ran to the pit. They saw Spot hanging from the rope. He was wagging his tail and chewing the apple. He was not a monster. He was a silly dog. + +They pulled the rope and lifted Spot out of the pit. They hugged him and gave him another apple. They were not angry. They were happy. They decided to share the apples with Spot and eat them together. They were not hungry anymore. They were full and happy. They had fun playing in the garden. +Sara and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big bowl of grapes on the table. Sara liked grapes. She wanted to eat one. + +"Can I have a grape, please?" she asked Tom. + +"Sure, but be careful. These are magic grapes. If you eat too much, you will shrink," Tom said. + +Sara did not believe Tom. She thought he was joking. She thought he was foolish. She took a big handful of grapes and put them in her mouth. + +"Yum, yum, yum," she said. + +Tom watched Sara. He saw her get smaller and smaller. He was not joking. He was telling the truth. He was scared. + +"Sara, Sara, stop eating! You are shrinking!" he shouted. + +But Sara did not hear him.

She was tiny. She was smaller than a grape. She was in trouble. + +"Tom, Tom, help me! I am shrinking!" she cried. + +But Tom could not help her. He did not know how to make her big again. He did not know what to do. He was sorry. + +"Sara, Sara, I am sorry! I did not mean to trick you! I did not know the grapes were really magic! I was foolish!" he said. + +But Sara could not hear him. She was too small. She was lost in the bowl of grapes. She was afraid. She wished she had listened to Tom.
