They walked around the beach, looking at shells and searching for treasures. Along the way, Sarah taught Jack to be polite and kind to all the other people they met.

In the end, they were both tired and happy. Jack had learned something new and Sarah had made a new friend. They said goodbye and Jack waved as he left, feeling very happy.
One day, a little boy was walking outside. It was so cold, but he was wearing a nice, warm coat. Suddenly, he heard a loud, booming laugh. It was coming from a tree. He saw a friendly face in the tree and asked, "What are you doing?"

The face replied, "I'm joking. Do you want to hear one too?"

The little boy nodded and the voice went on. "Why did the elephant cross the road? To get to the clear side!"

The boy laughed. He thought it was very funny and asked, "Can I make a joke too?"

The face said, "Of course!"

The little boy smiled and said, "Why did the chicken go outside? To get a breath of cold air!"

The face in the tree laughed and laughed. "That was a great joke!"

The boy was so happy. He thanked the face before running off and telling everyone the joke.
Albie was excited to go outside. He wanted to peek at nature. He asked his mom if he could go play in the garden. She said it was ok, and off he went.

Albie looked around the garden. It was full of white flowers. They were so beautiful. He couldn't resist picking one. He twirled the flower in between his tiny fingers, before looking around to make sure no one was watching. He heard a voice.

"What are you up to Albie?" it said.

Albie looked up and saw a big, angry man. He felt scared and tried to hide the white flower behind his back. The man stepped closer.

"Give me that flower," he said.

Albie shook his head and tried to run away, but the man caught him. He snatched the flower away and shouted at Albie to go home.

Albie ran back to his house, crying. He had thought he could peek at nature, but instead he had been scared away. He had failed, and he never wanted to go outside again.
Once upon a time there was a small boy. He loved playing in his garden and running around the gate. One day, he wanted to see what was behind the gate. He decided to take a peek. 

The boy found a big, serious wrap. He was curious and wanted to know what was inside the wrap, so he started to unwrap it. As he unwrapped it, he saw many things: a toy car, a teddy bear and a doll. He was so happy and started to play with them.

Suddenly, he heard a noise. The gate was locked and a big man was standing there, looking at the boy with a serious face. The boy was scared and ran away from the gate. He fled the garden and never looked back. 

So, the boy didn't get to keep the things inside the wrap. He remembered the sound of the gate shutting for a long time.

So, Lillie ran home as fast as she could. Her mom saw her and asked why she was so worried. Lillie explained that she needed tape for her teddy bear and was happy when her mom gave her some tape. She quickly taped her teddy bear up and her worries were gone.

From then on, Lillie never had to worry about not finding tape, and she could always have fun playing with her teddy bear.
Once upon a time, there was a very curious girl. She always wondered about all the different things in the world. One day, she noticed that everyone had different skin colours, and she wondered why. 

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out why people had different skin. So, she asked her mom, who explained it to her. 

She said that everyone looks different from each other, but that's okay--we can still be friends. Everyone's skin is fit for them and no one is better than the other. 

The girl realized that the colour of your skin doesn't matter, and friends are made when we treat each other with kindness and respect. 

Ever since that day, the girl has been kind to everyone she comes across and she wonders even more things about the world. And that's why it's important to be nice and treat everyone the same, no matter what they look like.

They both ate the berry and it was just enough for them both. They were very happy and thanked each other for being kind. They flew away and Sparkle promised to come back again to play.

The two dinosaurs looked across the river and started to think about how to get there. One dinosaur wondered if they could swim across the river, but they knew they couldn't. Then, the other dinosaur had an idea. "Let's look for some big rocks in the river. We can hop across the rocks to get to the other side!" 

The two dinosaurs found big rocks, and they hopped across the wet stones all the way to the other side. They were so proud of themselves and they continued their game in the warm sunshine until it was time to go home.

Sara was a thoughtful girl who liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She enjoyed washing and cutting the vegetables for the soup. She knew that vegetables were good for her and made her strong and healthy.

One day, her mom asked her to peel some carrots. Sara took a peeler and started to scrape the orange skin off the carrots. She was very careful not to hurt her fingers.

"Mom, why do we have to peel the carrots?" Sara asked. "Can't we eat them with the skin?"

Her mom replied, "Some people like to eat the carrots with the skin, but I prefer to peel them. The skin can be a bit tough and bitter. And sometimes it has dirt or bugs on it. Peeling the carrots makes them cleaner and sweeter."

Sara nodded. She understood what her mom said. She liked to learn new things from her mom. She finished peeling the carrots and put them in a bowl.

"Thank you, Sara. You are such a good helper. Do you want to taste a carrot?" Her mom offered her a small piece.

Sara smiled and took a bite. She liked the crunchy and sweet taste of the carrot. She replied, "Yes, mom. I like carrots. They are my favorite vegetable."
Sara and Ben were happy. They had a picnic in the park with Mom and Dad. They ate sandwiches, apples, and cookies. They drank juice and water. They played with a ball and a kite. They saw birds, flowers, and bugs.

"Look, Sara, a butterfly!" Ben said. He pointed to a yellow and black butterfly on a pink flower. Sara ran to see it. She wanted to touch it. She reached out her hand slowly.

"Don't scare it, Sara," Mom said. "Be gentle and quiet."

Sara nodded. She was gentle and quiet. She touched the butterfly's wing. It was soft and smooth. The butterfly blinked its eyes. Sara smiled.

But then, a big dog came. It barked loud and ran fast. It wanted to play with the ball. It did not see Sara and the butterfly. It bumped into Sara. Sara fell down. The butterfly flew away.

"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara cried. She hurt her knee and her hand. She had blood and dirt on them. Mom and Dad ran to Sara. They picked her up and hugged her.

"Are you okay, Sara?" Dad asked. He looked at her knee and her hand. He took out a band-aid and a tissue from the picnic basket.

"No, I'm not okay," Sara said. She sobbed. "The dog scared the butterfly. The butterfly was my friend. I want the butterfly back."

"I'm sorry, Sara," Mom said. She wiped Sara's tears and nose. "The dog didn't mean to hurt you or the butterfly. The butterfly is okay. It will find another flower. Maybe you can see it again another day."

Sara shook her head. She was not happy. She wanted the butterfly now. She did not want the dog or the ball or the kite. She did not want the picnic anymore. She wanted to go home.
Lila liked to look at the stars at night. She had a big window in her room and a soft bed. Sometimes she saw a big white owl fly by. She wanted to say hello to the owl, but it was too fast and too quiet.

One night, she heard a loud thud on her window. She got up and turned on the light. She saw the owl on the ground. It looked hurt and scared. Lila ran outside with a blanket and a flashlight. She wrapped the owl in the blanket and brought it inside.

She put the owl on her bed and looked at its wing. It had a cut and some blood. Lila ran to the kitchen and got some water and a cloth. She cleaned the cut and put a band-aid on it. She hoped it would help the owl feel better.

The owl opened its eyes and looked at Lila. It blinked and tilted its head. It made a soft hoot. Lila smiled and said, "Hi, owl. I'm Lila. I'm sorry you got hurt. I tried to fix your wing. Do you feel better?"

The owl nodded and hooted again. It seemed to say thank you. It was curious about Lila and her room. It looked at her books, her toys, her pictures. Lila told the owl about them. She asked the owl about the stars, the moon, the night. The owl told her with hoots and gestures.

They became friends and talked for a long time. Lila yawned and said, "I'm sleepy, owl. Do you want to stay with me tonight?" The owl nodded and snuggled next to her. Lila turned off the light and said, "Good night, owl. I'm glad I met you." The owl said, "Good night, Lila. I'm glad you fixed me." They fell asleep under the stars.
Lily loves to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Anna. Anna has long hair, a pink dress, and a smile. Lily likes to brush Anna's hair and dress her up.

One day, Lily and Anna go to the park with Mommy. They see a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Lily wants to try them all. She picks Anna up and runs to the slide. She puts Anna on her lap and slides down. Whee! Anna likes it too. They giggle and clap.

Then they go to the swing. Lily pushes Anna gently and sings a song. Anna swings back and forth, back and forth. They feel the wind and the sun. They smile and hum.

Finally, they go to the sandbox. Lily digs a hole and makes a castle. She finds a stick and a leaf and makes a flag. She puts Anna in the castle and says, "You are the queen, Anna. You are so pretty and kind." Anna nods and says, "Thank you, Lily. You are my best friend."

But then, a big dog comes to the sandbox. He is brown and furry and has a wet nose. He sniffs the castle and the flag and the stick. He thinks they are toys. He grabs the stick and runs away. He knocks down the castle and the flag. He makes a mess.

Lily is sad and angry. She cries and shouts, "Bad dog! Bad dog! Give me back my stick! You ruined my castle!" Anna is scared and dirty. She falls out of the castle and lands on the sand. She cries and says, "Help me, Lily! Help me!"

Mommy hears Lily and Anna. She runs to the sandbox and sees the dog and the mess. She picks up Lily and hugs her. She says, "It's okay, Lily. It's okay. The dog didn't mean to be bad. He was just curious and playful. He didn't know they were your things. Don't cry, sweetie. Don't cry."

She picks up Anna and wipes her with a towel. She says, "It's okay, Anna. It's okay. You are not hurt. You are just a little dirty. Don't cry, honey. Don't cry."

She gives Anna back to Lily and says, "Look, Anna is still adorable. She still has her long hair, her pink dress, and her smile. She still loves you very much. And you still love her very much, right?"

Lily nods and says, "Yes, Mommy. I still love Anna very much. She is my favorite doll. She is my best friend."

She hugs Anna and says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I'm sorry you were scared and dirty. I'm glad you are okay. You are the queen, Anna. You are so pretty and kind."

Anna hugs Lily and says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry you were sad and angry. I'm glad you are okay. You are my best friend, Lily. You are so brave and sweet."

They kiss and make up. They smile and say, "We love you, Mommy. We love you, too." Mommy smiles and says, "I love you, Lily. I love you, Anna. You are both adorable. You are both my girls." They hug and kiss. They are happy. The end.
Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird in the sky. It is a plane. Ben and Lily want to fly in a plane.

"Look, Lily, a plane!" Ben says. "It can fly very high and fast. Where do you think it is going?"

"I don't know, Ben. Maybe it is going to visit someone far away. Maybe it is going to see the sea or the mountains or the snow. I want to visit those places too. Do you?" Lily says.

"Yes, I do, Lily. Maybe we can fly in a plane someday. But we need to ask Mom and Dad first. They know how to fly in a plane. They can take us with them. Maybe for our birthday. That would be fun!" Ben says.

"OK, Ben. Let's ask them when we go home. But first, let's play on the slide. It is like flying too, but not so high. Come on!" Lily says.

Ben and Lily run to the slide. They take turns to slide down. They laugh and scream. They feel the wind in their hair. They pretend they are flying in a plane. They have a lot of fun.

Near the slide, there is a pond. It has water and fish and ducks. Ben and Lily like to watch the ducks. They see them swim and quack and flap their wings. Sometimes, the ducks fly out of the pond and land on the grass. Ben and Lily try to feed them bread crumbs.

"Hello, ducks!" Ben says. "Do you like to fly too? Where do you go when you fly?"

"Quack, quack, quack!" the ducks say. They eat the bread crumbs. They wag their tails. They seem happy.

"Ben, look at that duck. It has a ring on its leg. It is shiny and red. What is it?" Lily says.

"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it is a tag. Maybe someone put it there to know where the duck goes. Maybe the duck is special. Maybe it can fly very far and visit different places. Maybe it can fly over the sea or the mountains or the snow. Maybe it can see things we can't see. Like deep water or big rocks or white bears. That would be cool!" Ben says.

"Yes, it would, Ben. I wish we could fly with the duck. Maybe it can show us those things. Maybe it can be our friend. Do you think it would like us?" Lily says.

"Maybe, Lily. Maybe if we are nice and gentle and quiet. Maybe if we give it more bread crumbs. Maybe if we say please and thank you. Maybe then it will like us and fly with us. Let's try!" Ben says.

Ben and Lily get closer to the duck. They hold out their hands with more bread crumbs. They smile and whisper.

"Hello, duck. We are Ben and Lily. We like you. We want to be your friends. We want to fly with you. Can we, please? We have more bread crumbs for you. They are yummy. Please, duck, please!" they say.

The duck looks at them. It tilts its head. It quacks softly. It walks towards them. It takes the bread crumbs from their hands. It wags its tail. It seems friendly.

Ben and Lily are happy. They think the duck likes them. They think they can fly with it. They hug each other. They thank the duck.

"Thank you, duck. You are very nice. You are our friend. We are happy. Can we fly with you now? Can you show us the sea or the mountains or the snow? Can you show us the deep water or the big rocks or the white bears? Please, duck, please!" they say.

The duck quacks again. It flaps its wings. It lifts off the ground. It flies over the pond. It circles in the sky. It looks down at Ben and Lily. It seems to invite them.

Ben and Lily are excited. They think the duck wants them to fly with it. They think they can see the sea or the mountains or the snow. They think they can see the deep water or the big rocks or the white bears. They want to go with the duck. They wave their arms. They shout.

"Yes, duck, yes! We want to fly with you! We want to see those things! We want to go with you! Wait for us, duck, wait for us!" they say.

But the duck does not wait. It flies away. It flies higher and higher. It flies out of sight. It is gone.

Ben and Lily are sad. They think the duck does not want them to fly with it. They think they can't see the sea or
Anna and Ben are on a big boat with their mom and dad. They are going to an island for a holiday. Anna and Ben like the boat. They can see the water and the fish and the birds. They can feel the wind and the sun on their faces.

"Look, Anna, there is the island!" Ben says, pointing to a green and brown spot in the water. "It is very small and pretty. Do you think there are animals on the island?"

"I don't know, Ben. Maybe there are. Maybe there are monkeys and parrots and turtles. I want to see them!" Anna says, clapping her hands.

Mom and dad smile and hug Anna and Ben. They are happy to see their children excited. They tell them that they will soon reach the island and that they can explore and play there.

"Can we swim in the water, mom?" Ben asks.

"Yes, you can, Ben. But you have to be careful and stay close to us. The water is calm and clear, but it can also be deep and dangerous. Do you understand?" Mom says.

"Yes, mom, I understand. I will be careful and listen to you. And I will have fun!" Ben says.

"Me too, me too!" Anna says.

The boat gets closer to the island. Anna and Ben can see the sand and the trees and the flowers. They can smell the salt and the fruits and the flowers. They can hear the waves and the birds and the monkeys. They are very happy. They can't wait to get off the boat and start their holiday on the island.
Tim and Mia were hungry. They had no food at home. Their mom was at work. She was a cleaner. She worked hard, but they were poor.

They went out to look for food. They saw a big house. It had a fence and a gate. They opened the gate and went in. They saw a door. They opened the door and went in. They saw a hall. It had many pictures and flowers. It was pretty.

They heard a voice. It was a man. He said, "Who are you? What are you doing here?" He was angry.

Tim and Mia were scared. They ran to the kitchen. They saw a cake. It was on a table. It had icing and cherries. It looked yummy.

They took the cake and ran out. They ate the cake in the park. It was sweet and soft. It tasted good.

They were happy. They said, "This is the best cake ever!" They smiled and hugged. They forgot about the angry man. They forgot about being hungry. They forgot about being poor.
Ben and Lily are playing in the backyard. They find a big box with old things. They open the box and see many tools. Ben likes the hammer. He picks it up and swings it in the air.

"Look, Lily, I have a hammer!" he says. "I can make things with it."

Lily sees something shiny in the box. She reaches for it and pulls it out. It is a necklace with a star pendant. The star is very bright and sparkles in the sun.

"Wow, Ben, look at this!" she says. "I have a star that shines!"

Ben looks at the necklace and smiles. He likes the star too. He has an idea.

"Let's trade, Lily," he says. "You can have the hammer and I can have the star. Then we can both make things with them."

Lily thinks for a moment. She likes the star, but she also wants to try the hammer. She nods and gives the necklace to Ben. Ben gives the hammer to Lily. They hug and thank each other.

They start to play with their new things. Ben puts the star around his neck and pretends to be a superhero. He runs around the yard and makes noises. Lily holds the hammer and taps on the box. She pretends to be a builder. She makes noises too.

They have a lot of fun with their new things. They do not care that the box is dirty and the tools are old. They use their imagination and make their own stories. They are happy and proud of their trade.
Lily and Max were bored. They wanted to play, but Mom said they had to help with the laundry. Mom gave them a big basket full of clothes and told them to move it to the bedroom.

"Laundry is no fun," Lily said. "I want to play with my dolls."

"Me too," Max said. "I want to play with my cars."

They looked at the basket. It was heavy and full. They tried to lift it, but it was too hard. They pushed it, but it was too slow. They pulled it, but it was too noisy.

"Maybe we can make a game," Lily said. "Let's pretend the basket is a boat and we are sailing on the sea."

"Okay," Max said. "But where is the sea?"

Lily looked around. She saw the clear blue sky and the bright sun. She saw the green grass and the yellow flowers. She saw the white clouds and the birds.

"Look," she said. "The sea is everywhere. We just have to use our imagination."

She pointed to the sky. "That's the water. It's clear and blue and shiny."

She pointed to the grass. "That's the land. It's green and soft and smells good."

She pointed to the clouds. "Those are the islands. They are white and fluffy and have treasures."

She pointed to the birds. "Those are the pirates. They are noisy and mean and want to steal our boat."

Lily and Max smiled. They liked the game. They moved the basket to the bedroom, but they pretended they were sailing on the sea. They dodged the pirates, explored the islands, and found the treasures. They had fun with the laundry. Mom was happy too. She said they were good helpers and gave them a hug.
Anna likes to clap her hands. She claps when she is happy, when she sings, when she plays. She likes to make noise and have fun.

One day, Anna finds a new toy. It is a top. It is round and has many colors. Anna likes to spin the top and watch it go. She claps when the top spins fast and makes a sound.

But Anna does not know how to stop the top. She tries to catch it, but it is too fast. She tries to blow it, but it does not move. She tries to hit it, but it bounces away. Anna is sad and does not clap.

Then, Anna sees her big brother Tom. Tom is wise. He knows many things. He sees Anna and the top. He smiles and says, "I can help you. Do you want to stop the top?"

Anna nods and says, "Yes, please. How do you stop the top?"

Tom says, "It is easy. You just have to wait. The top will slow down and fall by itself. Then you can pick it up and spin it again."

Anna says, "Really? Let me see."

Tom and Anna sit and watch the top. The top spins slower and slower. Then it wobbles and falls. Anna claps and says, "You are right! The top stopped!"

Tom says, "You are welcome. Do you want to play with me?"

Anna says, "Yes, thank you. You are wise and kind. I like you."

Tom and Anna hug and play with the top. They clap and laugh and have fun.
Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. But today, it is rain. Rain is wet and cold. They do not like rain.

"Let's go to the barn," Tom says. "We can play with the hay and the animals."

"OK," Mia says. They run to the barn. The barn is big and warm. They see cows and sheep and chickens. They hear moo and baa and cluck.

They climb on the hay. The hay is soft and high. They make a fort with the hay. They pretend they are kings and queens.

But then, they hear a loud roar. It is the farmer. He is angry. He does not want them in the barn.

"Get out of here, you little rascals!" he shouts. "You are making a mess of my hay!"

Tom and Mia are scared. They want to escape. They look for a way out. They see a window. The window is high, but they can reach it with the hay.

"Come on, Mia," Tom says. "We can jump out of the window."

They grab each other's hand. They jump out of the window. They land on the grass. They are safe.

They run back to their houses. They are wet and dirty, but they are happy. They had fun in the barn.

They say goodbye to each other.

"See you tomorrow, Tom," Mia says.

"See you tomorrow, Mia," Tom says.

They smile. They are friends.
Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Anna liked to be a cat and Ben liked to be a dog. They chased each other around the couch and the table.

"Meow, meow, I'm a cat!" Anna said.

"Woof, woof, I'm a dog!" Ben said.

They laughed and giggled until they heard a loud sneeze from the kitchen. It was their mom, who was making cookies for them. She had a cold and felt sick.

"Mom, are you okay?" Anna asked, running to the kitchen.

"Yes, sweetie, I'm okay. Just a little sneeze. Don't worry," Mom said, wiping her nose with a tissue.

"Can we help you with the cookies?" Ben asked, following Anna.

"Sure, you can help me. It's easy. You just have to roll the dough and cut out the shapes. Here, take this cookie cutter. It's a star," Mom said, handing Ben a metal tool.

Anna and Ben smiled and took the cookie cutter. They rolled the dough on the table and cut out many stars. They put them on a baking sheet and Mom put them in the oven.

"Thank you for helping me, kids. You are very good. Now, let's wait for the cookies to bake. Do you want a hug?" Mom asked, opening her arms.

Anna and Ben nodded and ran to Mom. They gave her a big hug and kissed her cheek.

"We love you, Mom. We hope you feel better soon," they said.

"I love you too, kids. You make me feel better. You are my stars," Mom said, hugging them back.

They heard a ding from the oven. The cookies were ready. They smelled delicious.

"Yay, cookies!" Anna and Ben said.

"Let's go eat them. But first, let me get a glass of water. I need to drink something. My throat is dry," Mom said, walking to the sink.

She reached for a glass, but she sneezed again. The glass slipped from her hand and fell to the floor. It broke into many pieces.

"Oh, no!" Mom said.

"Mom, are you okay?" Anna and Ben asked, worried.

"Yes, sweetie, I'm okay. Just a little sneeze. Don't worry," Mom said, smiling.

She picked up the pieces of glass and threw them in the trash. She got another glass and filled it with water. She drank it and felt better.

"Let's go eat the cookies. They are still warm. And don't forget to wash your hands. We don't want to catch a cold," Mom said, leading them to the table.

They washed their hands and sat down. They ate the cookies and enjoyed them. They were sweet and crunchy.

"These are the best cookies ever, Mom. Thank you for making them," Anna and Ben said.

"You're welcome, kids. Thank you for helping me. And thank you for the hug. It was the best hug ever," Mom said.

They smiled and hugged her again. They were happy. They were a family. They were stars.
Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. But today, it is very cold. Mom says they need to dress warm.

Anna puts on her red coat, her hat, and her boots. She is ready to go. But Ben does not want to dress warm. He wants to wear his blue shirt and his shorts. He says he is not cold.

"Ben, you are silly," Anna says. "You will be cold outside. You need to dress warm like me."

"No, I don't," Ben says. "I am strong. I can play in the cold."

Mom shakes her head. She says, "Ben, you have to dress warm. It is not good for you to be cold. You can get sick. Please, put on your coat and your pants and your shoes."

Ben pouts. He does not like to dress warm. He thinks it is boring. He wants to wear his blue shirt and his shorts. He says, "No, Mom. I don't want to."

Mom sighs. She says, "OK, Ben. You can wear what you want. But you have to stay inside. You cannot go outside with Anna. She will go for a walk with me. You will stay here and play with your toys."

Anna smiles. She likes to go for a walk with Mom. She says, "Bye, Ben. Have fun with your toys. I will have fun outside."

Ben watches Anna and Mom leave. He feels sad. He wants to go for a walk too. He looks at his blue shirt and his shorts. He thinks, maybe they are not so fun. Maybe he should dress warm. Maybe he can catch up with Anna and Mom. He runs to his closet. He finds his coat, his pants, and his shoes. He puts them on. He runs to the door. He opens it. He sees Anna and Mom. They are not far. He calls, "Wait for me! I want to go for a walk too!"

Anna and Mom turn around. They see Ben. He is dressed warm. They smile. They say, "Ben, you changed your mind. You dressed warm. Come on, join us. We are happy to see you."

Ben runs to them. He hugs them. He says, "I am sorry. I was silly. I don't want to be cold. I want to be warm. I want to go for a walk with you."

Anna and Mom hug him back. They say, "We are glad you are here. We love you. Let's go for a walk together. It will be fun."

They walk together. They see the snow, the trees, the birds. They talk, they laugh, they sing. They are warm. They are happy. They are a family.
Sara and Ben liked to play in the garage. They found many things to make fun games with. One day, they saw a big ball and a long stick. Sara had an idea.

"Let's play balance!" she said. "You hold the stick and I put the ball on top. Then I try to walk and not drop the ball."

"OK," said Ben. He held the stick very still and Sara put the ball on it. She took a step and the ball rolled a little. She took another step and the ball rolled more. She tried to keep it on the stick.

"Good job, Sara!" said Ben. "You are very good at balance."

Sara smiled and walked faster. She wanted to reach the other side of the garage. But the ball rolled too much and fell off the stick. Sara stumbled and fell too. She felt dizzy.

"Are you OK, Sara?" asked Ben. He ran to help her.

Sara rubbed her head and nodded. "I'm OK, Ben. But I'm dizzy. The ball made me dizzy."

Ben hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Sara. The dizziness will go away soon. Next time, let's play something else. Maybe we can find some cars or dolls in the garage."

Sara agreed and they looked for new toys. They had fun in the garage. They forgot about the ball and the stick. They did not play balance again.
Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play together, but sometimes they fought. One day, they had a big fight over a toy. They yelled and pushed and pulled. Mom heard them and was not happy. She told them to stop and go to their rooms.

Tom and Lily were angry and sad. They did not want to talk to each other. They went to their rooms and slammed the doors. They sat on their beds and pouted. They did not want to rest, but they had to.

After a while, Mom came to their rooms. She knocked and opened the doors. She saw their troubled faces. She said, "I know you are upset, but fighting is not nice. You need to say sorry and hug each other. You are brother and sister, and you love each other. Then we can have dinner together."

Tom and Lily looked at Mom. They looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. They got up and walked to each other. They said sorry and hugged each other. They felt better. Mom smiled and said, "That's good. Now let's go have dinner. I made your favorite: spaghetti and meatballs."

Tom and Lily followed Mom to the kitchen. They smelled the yummy food. They sat at the table and thanked Mom. They ate and talked and laughed. They forgot about their fight. They were happy. They had a good dinner. Then they went to bed and rested.
Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. One evening, they go to the park with their mom. They see a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox.

"Can we play on the slide, mom?" Tom asks.

"Sure, but be careful," mom says.

Tom and Lily run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They laugh and have fun. Spot barks and wags his tail.

Lily sees something shiny under the slide. She goes to look. She finds a coin. It is silver and round.

"Look, Tom, I found a coin!" Lily says.

"Wow, let me see!" Tom says.

Lily shows him the coin. It has a picture of a man and some words on it.

"What does it say?" Lily asks.

"I don't know. Maybe it is a special coin," Tom says.

"Maybe it is a lucky coin," Lily says.

"Maybe we can buy something with it," Tom says.

They run to their mom and show her the coin.

"Mom, look what we found!" they say.

Mom looks at the coin. She smiles.

"That's a nice find, kids. You are very lucky. This is a quarter. You can use it to buy something small, like a candy or a sticker," she says.

"Really? Can we buy something now?" Tom and Lily ask.

"Sure, why not. There is a store near the park. Let's go and see what they have," mom says.

Tom and Lily are happy. They hold the coin and follow their mom. Spot follows them too. They go to the store and buy a candy and a sticker. They share the candy and stick the sticker on their shirts. They thank their mom and the store lady.

They go back to the park and play some more. They think they are very lucky. They have a coin, a candy, a sticker, and a dog. They have each other and their mom. They have a lot of fun. They love the evening.
Lily was a big girl who liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to wash the dishes, but they were too high for her to reach. She asked her mom to lift her up, but her mom said no.

"Please, mom, please!" Lily said. "I can do it, I am big!"

"No, Lily, you are not big enough. The dishes are hot and heavy, and you might get hurt. You can help me with something else," her mom said.

Lily was not happy. She stamped her feet and crossed her arms. She demanded to wash the dishes. She said, "I want to wash the dishes, now!"

Her mom was not happy either. She said, "Lily, that is not a nice way to talk. You are being rude and bossy. You need to calm down and listen to me. If you keep demanding, you will have a time out."

Lily did not want a time out. She did not like to sit in the corner and be quiet. She realized that she was being naughty and that her mom was right. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I don't want to demand. I want to help you."

Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "That's better, Lily. I'm glad you said sorry. You can help me by drying the spoons and forks. They are in the sink. Can you reach them?"

Lily nodded and ran to the sink. She grabbed a towel and started to dry the spoons and forks. She was careful not to drop them or poke herself. She put them in a drawer and showed her mom. She said, "Look, mom, I did it!"

Her mom looked and said, "Wow, Lily, you did a great job! You are very helpful and careful. I'm so proud of you!"

Lily felt happy and proud too. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you!"
Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with a swing and a slide. They also had a small patch where they grew strawberries. They loved to eat the red and sweet fruits when they were ripe.

One day, Tim saw a big and tough bug on one of the strawberries. He was scared and ran to Sam. "Look, Sam, a bug! It is eating our strawberry!" he cried.

Sam was brave and ran to the patch. He saw the bug and shouted, "Go away, bug! This is our strawberry, not yours!" He tried to shoo the bug with his hand, but the bug was too tough. It did not move and made a loud buzz.

Sam got angry and picked up a stick. He swung the stick at the bug, but the bug dodged it and flew at Sam's face. Sam screamed and dropped the stick. He ran back to Tim and hid behind him.

The bug landed on the strawberry and ate it all. It looked at the brothers and buzzed again. It seemed to say, "This is my strawberry, not yours! You cannot have it! You must surrender!"

Tim and Sam were sad and scared. They had no more strawberries to eat. They wished they had a bigger and tougher stick to chase the bug away. They wished they had a friend to help them. They wished they had never seen the bug. They had a bad day.
Sam and Lily liked to play with their toy animals. They had a big elephant, a small mouse, a loud lion and a soft rabbit. They made noises and stories with their toys.

One day, Sam wanted to play a new game. He said, "Let's pretend the elephant is dead. He can't move or talk. We can bury him in the sand." Lily did not like this game. She loved the elephant. She said, "No, Sam. The elephant is not dead. He is alive and happy. He can move and talk. We can feed him peanuts and water."

Sam did not listen to Lily. He urged her to play his game. He said, "Come on, Lily. It's just a game. The elephant is not real. He is a toy. We can dig him out later." He grabbed the elephant and ran to the sandpit. Lily followed him and tried to stop him. She said, "Stop, Sam. Give me back the elephant. He is mine. He is real. He is my friend."

Sam and Lily fought over the elephant. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The elephant fell to the ground. His trunk broke off. His ear ripped. His eye popped out. Sam and Lily stopped fighting. They looked at the elephant. He was broken. He looked dead.

Sam and Lily felt sad. They said sorry to each other. They said sorry to the elephant. They hugged the elephant. They tried to fix him. They put his trunk back. They taped his ear. They glued his eye. They said, "We love you, elephant. You are not dead. You are alive and happy. You can move and talk. We will feed you peanuts and water." The elephant smiled. He made a noise. He said, "I love you, Sam and Lily. You are my friends. Thank you for fixing me." Sam and Lily smiled. They played a new game. They pretended the elephant was a king. He wore a crown and a cape. He ruled over the other animals. He was kind and wise. Sam and Lily were his loyal subjects. They had fun. They were happy.
Lily and Tom were going to a party at their friend Ben's house. They were very happy and excited. They put on their best clothes and their mom helped them to attach some stickers to their shirts. The stickers had their names and some stars and hearts.

"Look, mom, I have a star sticker!" Lily said.

"And I have a heart sticker!" Tom said.

"You both look very nice," mom said. "Have fun at the party, but don't eat too much cake and candy."

Lily and Tom nodded and hugged mom. Then they got in the car and drove to Ben's house.

When they arrived, they saw many other kids playing in the yard. There were balloons, streamers, and a big sign that said "Happy Birthday, Ben!" Ben came to greet them and hugged them.

"Hi, Lily and Tom! I'm so glad you came to my party!" Ben said.

"Hi, Ben! Happy birthday!" Lily and Tom said.

"Thank you! Come on, let's play some games and have some snacks!" Ben said.

They followed Ben to a table where there were plates of cookies, chips, and sandwiches. Lily and Tom each took a cookie and a sandwich. They bit into the sandwich and made a funny face.

"Ow, this is spicy!" Lily said.

"Yuck, this is hot!" Tom said.

They spit out the sandwich and reached for some water. Ben laughed and said, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you. My mom made some spicy sandwiches for the grown-ups. You can have the plain ones. They are over there."

Lily and Tom smiled and said, "That's okay, Ben. We like plain sandwiches. They are yummy."

They took some plain sandwiches and ate them. They felt better and thanked Ben's mom. Then they joined the other kids for some games and fun. They had a great time at the party and forgot about the spicy sandwiches.
Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play together. Sometimes they play with cars, sometimes they play with dolls, sometimes they play with blocks. But they do not like to take a shower. They think it is too loud and too wet.

One day, Mom says, "It is time for a shower, Ben and Mia. You are very dirty from playing outside. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." Ben and Mia do not want to go. They hide under the bed. They think Mom will not find them.

But Mom is smart. She knows where they are. She says, "I can see your feet, Ben and Mia. Come out, come out, or I will tickle you." Ben and Mia giggle. They like to be tickled. They come out from under the bed. Mom hugs them and says, "Good, now let's go to the shower. It will be fun, I promise."

Mom takes them to the bathroom. She turns on the shower. It makes a loud noise. Ben and Mia are scared. They do not want to go in. They stand behind Mom. They hold her legs. They say, "No, no, Mom, we do not like the shower. It is too loud and too wet. Please, no shower."

Mom smiles. She says, "Do not be afraid, Ben and Mia. The shower is not bad. It is like rain. You like rain, right? You like to splash in the puddles. The shower is like a big puddle. And look, I have a surprise for you." She shows them a bottle of soap. It has a picture of a frog on it. She says, "This is frog soap. It makes bubbles. Do you like bubbles?" Ben and Mia nod. They like bubbles. Mom says, "If you go in the shower, you can play with the frog soap and make bubbles. It will be fun, I promise."

Ben and Mia are curious. They want to play with the frog soap and make bubbles. They let go of Mom's legs. They take a step towards the shower. They hear the loud noise. They are still scared. But they are brave. They hold each other's hand. They say, "Okay, Mom, we will try the shower. But you have to stay with us." Mom says, "Of course, I will stay with you. I will help you wash your hair and your body. And I will make bubbles with you. Come on, let's go in."

Ben and Mia go in the shower. They feel the water on their skin. It is wet. But it is not bad. It is warm and soft. They see the frog soap. It is green and shiny. Mom squeezes it. It makes bubbles. Ben and Mia laugh. They catch the bubbles. They pop them. They make more bubbles. They rub them on their hair and their body. They look like frogs. They say, "Ribbit, ribbit." Mom laughs. She says, "You are very silly, Ben and Mia. You are the cutest frogs I have ever seen."

Ben and Mia are happy. They like the shower. They think it is fun. They do not think it is loud and wet anymore. They think it is like rain and puddles and bubbles and frogs. They say, "Thank you, Mom, for the shower. Thank you for the frog soap. We love you, Mom." Mom says, "I love you too, Ben and Mia. You are very good twins. You are very brave. Now let's dry off and get ready for bed." Ben and Mia nod. They hug Mom. They dry off and get ready for bed. They are tired from playing and showering. They fall asleep. They dream of rain and puddles and bubbles and frogs. And Mom.
Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big saw in the shed. They wanted to use it to cut some wood, but it was too heavy for them.

"Let me try," said Tom, and he lifted the saw with both hands. He could not move it very much. "It is too hard," he said.

"Let me try," said Sam, and he took the saw from Tom. He tried to swing it, but it fell to the ground. "It is too heavy," he said.

They heard a jolly laugh behind them. It was their dad, who came to see what they were doing. He picked up the saw and smiled at them.

"What are you two doing with my saw?" he asked. "This is not a toy. It is a tool for grown-ups. It can be dangerous if you don't know how to use it."

"We wanted to cut some wood," said Tom.

"We wanted to make something," said Sam.

Dad nodded and said, "I see. Well, why don't you help me with something else? I have some smaller tools and some lighter wood that you can use. You can make something with me, if you like."

Tom and Sam were happy. They followed their dad to his workbench, where he showed them how to use a hammer, a screwdriver, and a ruler. They helped him measure, cut, and join some pieces of wood. They made a birdhouse, a boat, and a car.

They had fun with their dad and learned how to use the tools safely. They forgot about the big saw, which was too hard and too heavy for them. They were proud of their creations, which were just right for them.
Lily and Max were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They would kick it, throw it, roll it, and bounce it all over the yard.

One day, they decided to play a new game. They wanted to see who could balance the ball on their head the longest. They took turns putting the ball on their head and walking around. Lily went first and did very well. She walked all the way to the fence and back without dropping the ball. Max clapped for her and said, "Good job, Lily! You are very good at this!"

Then it was Max's turn. He put the ball on his head and tried to walk, but he was restless. He wanted to run and jump and spin. He took a few steps and then lost his balance. The ball fell off his head and rolled away. Max was sad and said, "Oh no, I am bad at this!"

Lily saw that Max was in trouble. She wanted to support him and make him happy. She ran after the ball and brought it back to him. She said, "Don't be sad, Max. You are not bad at this. You are just excited. Let's try again, but this time, I will help you. I will hold your hand and we will walk together. Then you can balance the ball better."

Max smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. You always support me. Let's try again."

They put the ball on Max's head and held hands. They walked slowly and carefully, and Max balanced the ball better. They had fun and laughed together. They were happy twins who liked to play together.
Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy vehicles. Tim has a red car and Sam has a blue truck. They make noises and race them on the floor.

One day, Mom says they have to go to the store. She puts them in their seats in the big vehicle. Tim and Sam bring their toys with them. They want to play in the store too.

But on the way, the big vehicle stops. Mom says there is a delay. There are too many vehicles on the road. They have to wait. Tim and Sam are bored. They look out the window and see other vehicles.

"Look, Sam, that one is like your truck!" Tim says, pointing to a blue truck.

"Wow, it is!" Sam says. "And look, Tim, that one is like your car!" He points to a red car.

They see more vehicles that look like their toys. They start to count them and name their colors. They have fun.

Mom smiles. She thinks they are smart. She says they will be at the store soon. She is glad they have their toys to keep them busy. She hopes they will find something they like at the store too.
Tim and Sam were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many birds. They wanted to see the birds up close. They found a stick and threw it at the tree.

"Look, Tim, I hit a nest!" Sam said. He pointed at a small nest that fell from the tree. It had two eggs inside.

"Let's go get it!" Tim said. They ran to the nest and picked it up. They felt the eggs. They were warm and smooth.

"Can we keep them?" Sam asked. He wanted to have the eggs as pets.

"No, we can't. They belong to the birds. We have to put them back." Tim said. He knew it was wrong to take the eggs.

"But how? The nest is too high. We can't reach it." Sam said. He looked at the tree. It was very tall and had many branches.

"Maybe we can find another nest. A lower one. And put the eggs there." Tim said. He looked around the park. He saw another tree with a nest. It was lower than the first one. He pointed at it.

"Look, there's one. Let's go there." He said. He and Sam ran to the other tree. They did not see the big sign that said "Beware of bees".

They put the eggs in the nest. They thought they were harmless. They did not know they were putting them in a bee's nest. They did not hear the buzzing sound. They did not see the angry bees.

The bees came out of the nest. They saw the eggs. They saw the boys. They were very mad. They attacked the boys. They stung them all over. The boys screamed and cried. They dropped the nest and ran away. They were hurt and scared.

The birds saw the eggs. They saw the bees. They were very sad. They lost their eggs. They lost their nest. They flew away. They were lonely and sad.

The end.
Tom and Sue were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were wild animals and jump on the furniture. They made loud noises and had fun.

Mom was in the kitchen. She was making lunch. She heard the noise and came to see. She was not happy. She said, "Stop jumping on the furniture! You will break it or hurt yourself. Go play outside or in your room."

Tom and Sue did not listen. They said, "No, we are wild animals. We can do what we want. We are not afraid of anything." They kept jumping and making noise.

Mom went back to the kitchen. She was angry. She said, "Fine, if you don't listen, I will take away the furniture. Then you will have nothing to play with." She took a big bag and went to the living room.

Tom and Sue saw Mom with the bag. They were scared. They said, "Mom, what are you doing? Don't take the furniture. We are sorry. We will stop jumping and be good." But it was too late. Mom put the sofa, the chairs, the table, and the lamp in the bag. She said, "Now you have no furniture. Maybe you will learn to respect it and listen to me." She took the bag and left.

Tom and Sue were sad. They had no furniture to play with. They had no place to sit or read or eat. They had no light to see. They cried and wished they had listened to Mom. They were not wild animals. They were just naughty children.
Sara and Ben were very happy. They were going to see the parade with Mom and Dad. They put on their hats and coats and went outside. They saw many people and cars and bikes on the street. They heard music and horns and cheers.

"Look, Sara, look!" Ben said. "There are clowns and balloons and animals in the parade. They are so funny and colorful and big!"

Sara nodded and smiled. She liked the parade too. She saw a small dog with a red bow on its head. It was walking with a lady in a dress. Sara wanted to pet the dog. She ran towards it.

"Wait, Sara, wait!" Mom said. "You can't touch the dog. It belongs to the lady. You have to ask first."

But Sara did not hear Mom. She reached the dog and tried to remove the bow from its head. The dog did not like that. It barked and snapped at Sara. Sara was scared and cried.

"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara said. "The dog bit me! It hurt me!"

The lady in the dress came and picked up the dog. She was angry and sorry.

"I'm sorry, little girl," she said. "My dog doesn't like strangers. He was scared too. You should not remove his bow. It is his favorite thing. Are you okay?"

Mom and Dad came and hugged Sara. They checked her hand. It was not bleeding, but it was red and sore.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry, Dad," Sara said. "I just wanted to pet the dog. He was so small and cute. I didn't mean to make him mad."

Mom and Dad kissed Sara and said it was okay. They said they understood. They said Sara should be more careful next time. They said they still loved her.

Sara felt better. She said sorry to the lady and the dog. She said she liked the bow. The lady and the dog said it was okay. They said they liked Sara. They said they hoped she enjoyed the parade.

Sara and Ben went back to Mom and Dad. They watched the rest of the parade. They saw more clowns and balloons and animals. They had fun. They learned a lesson. They were happy.
One day, a boy and a girl went to the zoo with their mom. They wanted to see the bears, because they liked their big and soft fur. But when they got to the bear cage, they saw a sign that said "Delay. Bears are sleeping. Come back later."

The boy and the girl were sad. They asked their mom, "Why are the bears sleeping? We want to see them now!"

Their mom said, "The bears are tired, because they ate a lot of fish. Fish makes them sleepy. We have to wait until they wake up."

The boy and the girl did not want to wait. They wanted to see the bears right away. They looked around and saw a big trash can near the cage. They had an idea. They ran to the trash can and opened the lid. They saw a lot of disgusting things inside: rotten bananas, smelly cheese, dirty diapers, and more.

They said, "Let's throw these things at the bears. Maybe they will wake up and come to us."

They grabbed some of the disgusting things and threw them over the fence. They hoped the bears would smell them and get curious. But they did not know that the bears did not like those things. The bears did not wake up. They only got angry.

The boy and the girl heard a loud roar from the cage. They saw the bears open their eyes and look at them. The bears were not happy. They were very mad. They growled and showed their teeth. They tried to reach the fence and get the boy and the girl.

The boy and the girl were scared. They dropped the disgusting things and ran away. They cried and said, "Sorry, bears! Sorry, mom!"

Their mom saw what they did and was not pleased. She said, "That was a very bad thing to do. You should not throw trash at the animals. You should respect them and leave them alone. Now we have to go home and you have to say sorry to the zookeeper."

The boy and the girl learned their lesson. They said sorry to the zookeeper and the bears. They promised to never do that again. They also learned that fish makes bears sleepy, and that trash makes bears angry.
Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they decided to build a big tower with blocks. They worked hard and put many blocks on top of each other. They wanted to make the tower as long as the tree.

"Look, our tower is so long!" Anna said. "We are very good at building!"

"Yes, we are!" Ben agreed. "But I am hungry. Do you have any food?"

Anna looked in her backpack and found a strawberry. It was red and sweet and juicy. She wanted to eat it, but she saw that Ben had nothing.

"Here, you can have my strawberry," Anna said. "You are my friend and I want to share with you."

"Thank you, Anna!" Ben said. "You are very kind and generous. You are my friend too and I want to share with you."

He looked around and saw a stick. It was long and thin and smooth. He picked it up and gave it to Anna.

"Here, you can have my stick," Ben said. "You can use it to draw or to make music or to play with."

"Thank you, Ben!" Anna said. "You are very thoughtful and creative. You are my friend too and I want to play with you."

They ate the strawberry together and played with the stick. They had fun and laughed a lot. They forgot about the tower, but they did not care. They learned that building friendships is more important than building towers.
Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys, but sometimes they want the same toy. One day, they see a big red car in the toy box. Lily and Ben both want the car. They run to the toy box and grab the car at the same time.

"Mine!" Lily says.

"No, mine!" Ben says.

They pull and tug on the car. They have a fight. They make loud noises and cry. Mom hears them and comes to the room.

"Stop, stop!" Mom says. "You have to share the car. You can take turns. Lily, you can play with the car for five minutes, then give it to Ben. Ben, you can play with the car for five minutes, then give it back to Lily. OK?"

Lily and Ben nod. They are not happy, but they listen to Mom. They are patient. They wait for their turn. They play with the car and other toys. They have fun. They do not fight anymore. Mom is proud of them. She gives them a hug and a kiss.
Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they went to the shop with their mom. Mom said they could each choose one toy, but they had to be good and stay close to her.

Anna and Ben saw many toys in the shop. They wanted to play with all of them. They ran around the shop and took toys from the shelves. They threw balls, pushed cars, and made noises. They did not listen to mom when she told them to stop.

Mom was angry and sad. She said, "Anna and Ben, you are very naughty. You made a big mess in the shop. You have to put back all the toys and say sorry to the shop lady. If you don't, you will have no toys and no ice cream."

Anna and Ben did not want to put back the toys or say sorry. They wanted to keep playing. They said, "No, mom, we don't want to. We like the toys. We don't care about the mess."

Mom said, "This is your last chance. If you don't surrender the toys and come with me, I will leave you here in the shop. The shop lady will call the police and they will take you away."

Anna and Ben thought mom was joking. They did not believe her. They said, "You won't leave us, mom. You love us. We are your twins. You can't go without us."

Mom said, "I do love you, but you have to learn to behave. I'm sorry, but I have to go. Goodbye, Anna and Ben."

Mom left the shop with her bag. She did not look back. Anna and Ben were shocked and scared. They realized mom was serious. They cried and screamed. They wanted mom to come back. They wanted to say sorry and hug her. But it was too late. Mom was gone. The shop lady came and said, "What are you doing here? You have to leave. You are not welcome here. You are very messy and rude. I'm calling the police now."

Anna and Ben wished they had listened to mom. They wished they had surrendered the toys and followed her. They wished they had been good and not made a mess. They wished they had a toy and an ice cream. But they had nothing. They were alone and in trouble. They had a very bad ending.
Sara likes to walk with her mom and dad. They walk to the park, to the store, to the library. Sara likes to see the trees, the flowers, the birds. She likes to count how many things she sees.

One day, Sara sees a big sign with numbers on it. She asks her mom, "What is that?" Her mom says, "That is a clock. It tells the time." Sara says, "What is time?" Her mom says, "Time is how we know when to do things. Like when to eat, when to play, when to sleep."

Sara looks at the clock. She sees a big hand and a little hand. She sees numbers from one to twelve. She says, "I know those numbers. But where is zero?" Her mom says, "Zero is not on the clock. Zero means nothing. No numbers, no time, no things."

Sara thinks about zero. She says, "That is strange. How can there be nothing?" Her mom says, "Sometimes, nothing is good. Like when you are quiet and calm. Or when you have a blank paper and you can draw anything you want."

Sara nods. She says, "I like nothing sometimes. But I also like something. Like you and dad and the park and the flowers and the birds." She hugs her mom. Her mom hugs her back. She says, "I like something too. Especially you, my delicate girl. You are so gentle and sweet and smart." Sara smiles. She says, "I love you, mom." They walk to the library, holding hands.
Tim and Mia are friends who like to play in the park. One day, they see a big balloon that is floating in the air. It is red and shiny and has a string attached to it.

"Wow, look at that balloon!" Tim says. "I wonder who it belongs to."

"Maybe it is a gift from someone," Mia says. "Or maybe it is a magic balloon that can fly."

They run after the balloon, trying to catch it. But the balloon is too high and too fast for them. They follow it across the grass, past the swings, and to the pond.

"Be careful, Tim and Mia," a voice says. "The balloon is not magic. It is filled with oxygen. Oxygen is a gas that we need to breathe, but it can also make things explode."

Tim and Mia stop and look around. They see a man wearing a white coat and glasses. He is holding a device that looks like a remote control.

"Who are you?" Tim asks.

"I am a scientist," the man says. "I was doing an experiment with the balloon, but it got away from me. I need to get it back before it causes any trouble."

"Can we help you?" Mia asks.

The man smiles and nods. "Yes, you can. You are very brave and smart. If you can get close enough to the balloon, you can press this button on the device. It will make a small hole in the balloon and let the oxygen out. Then the balloon will fall down and I can catch it."

Tim and Mia agree to help the man. They take the device and run after the balloon again. They are careful not to touch the string, because it might make the balloon explode. They wait for the right moment, when the balloon is near a tree.

"Now, Tim!" Mia says.

Tim presses the button. The device makes a beep sound and a tiny hole appears in the balloon. The oxygen starts to escape with a hiss. The balloon loses its shape and begins to sink.

"Good job, Tim and Mia!" the man says. He runs to the tree and grabs the balloon. He thanks them for their help and gives them each a sticker with a star on it.

"You are very clever and kind," he says. "You saved the park from a big boom. You are my heroes."

Tim and Mia smile and reply, "You are welcome, Mr. Scientist. We are happy to help. And we learned something new today. Oxygen is a gas that we need to breathe, but it can also make things explode."

They wave goodbye to the man and go back to playing. They are proud of themselves and their stickers. They decide to share their story with their parents and their friends. They think that balloons are fun, but oxygen balloons are dangerous. They prefer to play with mild balloons that are filled with air.
Ben and Mia were bored. They had nothing to do at home. They wanted to go out and play, but it was raining. The sky was dull and grey.

"Can we visit grandma?" Ben asked his mom. "She always has fun stories and cookies."

Mom smiled. "That's a good idea. Let's get ready and go. Maybe the rain will stop soon."

They put on their coats and boots and got in the car. Mom drove them to grandma's house. On the way, they saw a big sign. It had bright colors and pictures of animals.

"Look, mom, a sign!" Mia said. "What does it say?"

Mom read the sign. "It says, 'Come to the zoo and see the lions, tigers, and bears. Open every day.'"

"Wow, can we go to the zoo?" Ben asked. "I want to see the lions, they are my favorite."

Mom shook her head. "Not today, sweetie. The zoo is closed because of the rain. Maybe another day, when the sun is out."

Ben and Mia felt sad. They wanted to see the animals. They hoped the rain would stop soon.

They arrived at grandma's house. Grandma was happy to see them. She hugged them and gave them cookies. She told them stories about when she was a little girl. She made them laugh and forget about the rain.

Ben and Mia had fun at grandma's house. They decided to visit her more often. They also decided to go to the zoo when the sun was out. They knew it would be more fun than a dull sign.
Sam likes to bounce. He has a big ball that is black and red. He takes his ball to the park. He sees his friend Mia. Mia has a small ball that is yellow and blue.

"Hi, Mia!" Sam says. "Do you want to bounce with me?"

"Yes, Sam!" Mia says. "Your ball is very big. Can I try it?"

"OK, Mia. You can try my ball. And I can try your ball." Sam says. He gives his ball to Mia. Mia gives her ball to Sam.

They bounce their balls. They have fun. They laugh and smile. They bounce high and low. They bounce fast and slow.

But then, Sam's ball bounces too high. It goes over the fence. It lands in the street. A car comes. The car hits the ball. The ball pops.

"Oh no!" Sam says. "My ball is broken!"

"I'm sorry, Sam!" Mia says. "Your ball was very nice. I liked it."

Sam feels sad. He likes his ball. He does not have his ball anymore.

But Mia has an idea. She gives her ball to Sam.

"Here, Sam. You can have my ball. It is yellow and blue. It is not as big as your ball. But it can still bounce. And it is your friend. Just like me."

Sam looks at Mia. He looks at her ball. He smiles.

"Thank you, Mia!" Sam says. "You are very kind. You are my friend. Just like your ball."

He takes her ball. He bounces it. He feels happy. He bounces with Mia. They have fun. They laugh and smile. They bounce high and low. They bounce fast and slow. They bounce with their friends.
Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Ben wants to go on the slide, but Lily is scared.

"Come on, Lily, it is fun!" Ben says. "You can do it!"

Lily shakes her head. "No, Ben, it is too high. I am afraid."

Ben thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He takes out a small toy car from his pocket. He gives it to Lily.

"Look, Lily, this is my car. It is very fast and brave. It can go on the slide. You can hold it in your pocket. It will help you be brave too."

Lily looks at the car. It is red and shiny. She likes it. She puts it in her pocket. She feels it in her hand.

"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. Maybe I can try the slide."

Ben smiles. He holds Lily's hand. They walk to the slide. They climb the steps. They sit on the top. They look down.

"Are you ready, Lily?" Ben asks.

Lily nods. She squeezes the car in her pocket. She feels brave.

"Yes, Ben, I am ready. Let's go!"

They slide down together. They go fast and smooth. They laugh and shout. They land on the ground. They are happy.

They hug each other. They did it. They are successful.

"Wow, Lily, you are amazing! You went on the slide!" Ben says.

"Wow, Ben, you are awesome! You gave me your car!" Lily says.

They play with the car. They share it. They have fun. They are friends.
Lily and her mom went to the shop. Lily liked the shop. It had many things to see and touch. Mom said, "Lily, can you help me find some apples? We need them for the pie." Lily nodded and smiled. She wanted to help mom.

Lily and mom walked to the fruit section. Lily saw many colors and shapes. She saw red apples, green apples, yellow apples, and even some purple ones. She wondered which ones were good for the pie. She asked mom, "Mom, which apples do we need?"

Mom said, "We need the red ones, Lily. They are sweet and juicy. Can you pick some for me?" Lily said, "Yes, mom. I can do that." She reached for the red apples. But they were too high for her. She could not get them. She felt sad.

Then she saw a clever idea. She saw a stool near the shelf. She dragged the stool to the apples. She climbed on the stool. Now she could reach the red apples. She picked some and put them in the basket. She was happy.

Mom saw what Lily did. She was proud of her. She said, "Lily, you are very clever. You found a way to get the apples. Thank you for helping me. You are a good helper." Lily hugged mom. She said, "You are welcome, mom. I love you. And I love the shop." Mom hugged Lily back. She said, "I love you too, Lily. And I love the pie. Let's go home and make it." They left the shop with the apples and a smile.
Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw a big squash that was green and round. Lily wanted to pick it and make soup, but Ben said no.

"Let it grow more," Ben said. "It will increase and become bigger and better."

Lily did not listen. She pulled the squash hard and broke it from the vine. She was happy and ran to the kitchen.

But when she cut the squash, she saw it was not good. It was pink and soft inside, and it smelled bad. She felt sick and sad.

Ben came to the kitchen and saw the squash. He was angry and sad too.

"You did not wait," he said. "You wasted the squash. It was not ready to eat. It needed more time and sun and water."

Lily cried and said sorry. She learned her lesson. She learned to be patient and respect nature. She learned that some things increase and become better when you wait.
Ben and Mia liked to play with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big rocket that could make sounds and lights. They pretended they were astronauts and flew to space.

One day, they found a new button on the rocket. It was red and shiny. Ben wondered what it did. He pushed it and said, "Blast off!"

Suddenly, the rocket made a loud noise and a bright flash. Ben and Mia felt a strange feeling. They looked around and saw that they were not in the living room anymore. They were in space!

"Wow!" Mia said. "We are in space! Look at the stars and the planets!"

Ben was scared. He did not like space. He wanted to go back home. He said, "How do we go back? Where is Mommy and Daddy?"

He tried to push the button again, but it did not work. The rocket was broken. Ben and Mia started to cry.

Then, they heard a voice. It was Mommy. She said, "Ben, Mia, where are you? I can't see you!"

Ben and Mia stopped crying. They shouted, "Mommy, we are here! We are in space! Help us!"

Mommy heard them. She was surprised. She said, "You are in space? How did you get there?"

She looked at the rocket. She saw that it had a sticker that said, "Magic rocket. Push the button and disappear to space. Be careful, it only works once."

Mommy realized that the rocket was a special toy. She said, "Don't worry, my loves. I have an idea. I will get you back."

She grabbed a big blanket and a pair of scissors. She cut the blanket into two pieces. She made two holes in each piece. She said, "These are space suits. Put them on and hold hands."

Ben and Mia did what Mommy said. They put on the blanket pieces and held hands. They looked funny, but they felt safer.

Mommy said, "Now, close your eyes and say, 'We want to go home.'"

Ben and Mia closed their eyes and said, "We want to go home."

Mommy covered them with the other blanket. She said, "One, two, three, magic!"

She pulled the blanket away. Ben and Mia opened their eyes. They saw that they were in the living room again. They were happy. They hugged Mommy and said, "Thank you, Mommy! You are the best!"

Mommy smiled and said, "You are welcome, my loves. You are very brave. But next time, be careful with your toys. You never know what they can do."

She took the rocket and put it away. She said, "This rocket is too dangerous. We will get you a new one. A normal one. A flexible one. One that can bend and twist and stretch, but not disappear."

Ben and Mia agreed. They said, "Yes, Mommy. We like flexible rockets. They are more fun."

They played with their other toys and forgot about the magic rocket. They never went to space again. But they always remembered their adventure. And they always loved Mommy.
Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite ones were the paper planes. They liked to fold the paper in different ways and make the planes fly in the air.

"Look, Lily, I made a big plane!" Ben said, holding a paper plane that was as long as his arm. "It can fly very far and fast!"

"Wow, Ben, that's a nice plane!" Lily said, admiring Ben's plane. "Can I try it?"

"Sure, Lily, you can try it. But be careful, don't throw it too hard or it will break." Ben said, handing Lily his plane.

Lily took the plane and ran to the other side of the room. She threw the plane with all her strength, hoping to see it fly high and far. But she threw it too hard, and the plane hit the wall and fell to the floor.

"Oh no, Ben, I'm sorry, I broke your plane!" Lily said, picking up the plane. It was torn and bent, and it could not fly anymore.

"It's okay, Lily, don't be sad. It was just a paper plane. We can make another one." Ben said, trying to cheer up Lily.

"But we don't have any more paper, Ben. We used all the paper we had." Lily said, looking at the empty paper box.

"Maybe we can find some paper somewhere else. Let's look around." Ben said, looking for paper.

They searched the living room, but they could not find any paper. They only found some books, some magazines, and some lumber.

"What is this, Ben?" Lily asked, pointing at the lumber. It was a pile of long and thick pieces of wood that their dad had bought for a project.

"That's lumber, Lily. It's wood that you can use to make things. Like a table, or a chair, or a house." Ben said, explaining to Lily.

"Can we use it to make paper planes, Ben?" Lily asked, curious.

"I don't think so, Lily. Lumber is too heavy and hard to fold. And it's expensive, too. Dad said we can't touch it, or he will be angry." Ben said, warning Lily.

"Oh, I see. Then we can't play with it." Lily said, disappointed.

They continued to look for paper, but they could not find any. They were about to give up, when they heard their mom calling them.

"Ben, Lily, come here! I have a surprise for you!" Mom said, smiling.

They ran to their mom, who was holding a big bag.

"What is it, Mom?" Ben asked, excited.

"Open it and see!" Mom said, giving them the bag.

They opened the bag and saw a lot of colorful paper inside. There were red, blue, green, yellow, and pink paper. There were also some stickers, some scissors, and some glue.

"Wow, Mom, thank you! This is awesome!" Ben said, happy.

"Thank you, Mom, this is so pretty!" Lily said, happy.

"You're welcome, my loves. I saw that you were having fun with your paper planes, so I bought you some more paper and some craft supplies. You can make more paper planes, or anything else you want." Mom said, hugging them.

"Can we make paper planes now, Mom?" Ben asked, eager.

"Of course, you can. But first, you have to clean up your toys and the paper you used. And don't touch the lumber, okay?" Mom said, reminding them.

"Okay, Mom, we will. And we won't touch the lumber, we promise." Ben and Lily said, nodding.

They cleaned up their toys and the paper, and then they started to make more paper planes. They folded the paper in different ways, and decorated them with stickers. They made big planes, small planes, fast planes, and slow planes. They had a lot of fun, and they thanked their mom for the surprise.

The end.
Lily got a new dress for her birthday. It was pink and had a big bow on the back. She was very happy and wanted to show it to her friends. She put on the dress and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled and twirled around.

She went to the door and turned the knob. It was hard to turn, but she did it. She opened the door and ran outside. She saw her friends playing in the yard. They saw her and waved. She waved back and ran to them.

"Look at my new dress!" she said. "It has a bow!" She turned around and showed them the bow. Her friends liked her dress. They said it was pretty and nice. They gave her hugs and compliments. Lily felt very proud and happy. She thanked them and asked if they wanted to play with her. They said yes and nodded. They played tag and hide and seek and had a lot of fun. Lily had a great birthday.
Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. Mom had a phone in her bag. She used it to talk to dad and take pictures of Tom and Lily.

A wild dog came to the park. It was big and black and had sharp teeth. It barked and growled at the people and the other dogs. Tom and Lily were scared of the wild dog. They ran to mom and hugged her.

"Mom, can we go home? The wild dog is scary!" Lily said.

"Yes, sweetie, we can go home. Let me get my phone and call dad. He can pick us up in the car." Mom said.

Mom reached for her bag, but it was gone. The wild dog had stolen it. It ran away with the bag in its mouth. Mom's phone was in the bag.

"Hey, stop! That's my bag! That's my phone!" Mom shouted. She tried to chase the wild dog, but it was too fast. It disappeared behind the trees.

Mom was very sad and angry. She had no phone to call dad. She had no money to take the bus. She had no keys to open the door. She had no ID to prove who she was.

Tom and Lily cried with mom. They were stuck in the park with the wild dog. They did not know what to do. They wished the wild dog had never come. They wished they had never seen the phone. They wished they were home.
Sara and Ben were playing at the beach. They liked to build sand castles and look for shells. Sometimes they saw big boats on the water. They waved to the people on the boats and hoped they would wave back.

One day, they saw a very big boat. It was black and white and had a loud horn. Sara and Ben ran to the edge of the water and waved with both hands. They wanted to see the boat up close.

But the boat did not stop. It kept going and made a big wave. The wave was so big that it reached the sand where Sara and Ben were standing. It knocked down their sand castle and made them wet.

Sara and Ben were scared. They ran back to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a blanket. They hugged them and told them what happened.

"It's okay, sweeties," their mom said. "That was a ferry boat. It takes people and cars to another place. It didn't mean to make a big wave. It was just going fast."

Sara and Ben felt better. They looked at the boat again. It was far away now. They saw some people waving from the windows. They waved back, but they were still a little nervous.

They decided to play with their toys instead. They found a big rock and pretended it was a mountain. They put their cars and dolls on the rock and made up stories. They had fun and forgot about the wave.
Lily was a nosy girl. She liked to look at everything and ask many questions. One day, she saw a big basket of potatoes in the kitchen. She wanted to touch them and see what they were.

She climbed on a chair and reached for the basket. But the basket was too heavy and it fell down. The potatoes rolled all over the floor. Lily was scared and started to cry.

"Mommy, mommy, help!" she shouted.

Mommy came running from the living room. She saw the mess and was angry.

"Lily, what did you do?" she asked. "Why did you touch the potatoes? They are for dinner, not for playing."

Lily felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, mommy. I was nosy. I wanted to see the potatoes. They are round and brown and funny."

Mommy sighed and said, "Lily, you have to be careful. You could have hurt yourself or broken something. Potatoes are food, not toys. You have to ask before you touch things that are not yours."

Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mommy. I won't be nosy again. Can I help you pick up the potatoes?"

Mommy smiled and said, "Yes, you can. Thank you, Lily. You are a good girl. But next time, please don't cry so loud. You scared me."

Lily hugged mommy and said, "I love you, mommy. And I love potatoes. Can I have some for dinner?"

Mommy laughed and said, "Of course, you can. But first, let's clean up this mess."
Tom and Lily were twins. They were infants. They liked to play with their toys. But sometimes they fought over them.

One day, they found a big ball in the yard. It was red and shiny. They both wanted it.

"Mine!" Tom said.

"No, mine!" Lily said.

They pulled the ball from each other. They were angry.

Mom saw them. She came to them.

"Stop, stop!" Mom said. "You can't fight over the ball. It is not fair. You have to share."

"But how?" Tom asked.

Mom had an idea. She took a knife. She split the ball in half. She gave one half to Tom and one half to Lily.

"Here you go," Mom said. "Now you each have a ball. And you can play together."

Tom and Lily looked at their half-balls. They were not shiny anymore. They were sad.

"Mom, why did you split the ball?" Tom asked.

"Because you couldn't agree," Mom said. "But maybe you can fix it. If you say sorry and hug each other, maybe the ball will be whole again."

Tom and Lily thought about it. They did not like their half-balls. They liked their twin. They said sorry and hugged each other. They put their half-balls together. They made a big ball again. It was red and shiny.

"Wow!" Tom said.

"Yay!" Lily said.

They smiled. They thanked Mom. They played with the ball. They shared it. They were happy.
Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big box full of toys, but their favorite one was a zip car. A zip car was a small car that could go very fast when you pulled a string and let it go. Sara and Ben loved to make the zip car zoom across the floor and watch it crash into things.

One day, their mom gave them a present. It was a fragile doll that looked like a princess. She had a pretty dress, long hair, and shiny shoes. Mom said, "This is a special doll for you to share. She is very fragile, so you have to be gentle with her. Do not throw her or drop her or she will break. Please take good care of her."

Sara and Ben thanked their mom and opened the box. They took out the fragile doll and admired her. Sara wanted to comb her hair and dress her up. Ben wanted to play with the zip car. They argued over who would play with what. Sara said, "Please let me play with the doll first. She is so pretty and I want to make her look nice." Ben said, "No, please let me play with the zip car first. It is so fun and I want to make it go fast." They could not agree and they started to pull the doll and the zip car from each other.

They pulled so hard that the doll and the zip car flew out of their hands. The doll landed on the floor and broke into pieces. The zip car hit the wall and stopped working. Sara and Ben were shocked and sad. They had ruined their toys and their mom's present. They wished they had listened to their mom and been gentle and shared. They learned that being selfish and greedy can lead to bad things.

The end.
Sara and Tom are friends who like to play in the park. They have a ball and a bat and they take turns to strike the ball and run. They have fun and laugh a lot.

One day, a new boy comes to the park. His name is Ben and he has a big bike. He rides his bike very fast and he does not look where he is going. He almost hits Sara and Tom with his bike. They are scared and angry.

"Hey, stop that!" Sara shouts. "You are not nice. You could hurt us with your bike."

Ben does not stop. He does not care. He thinks he is better than Sara and Tom because he has a big bike. He says, "You are silly. You play with a ball and a bat. That is boring. My bike is cool. You are jealous."

Sara and Tom are sad. They do not like Ben. They want him to go away. They think he is mean and rude.

Then, they see a beautiful view. They see the sun setting behind the trees. They see the sky changing colors. They see the birds flying. They feel happy and calm.

They look at Ben. He does not see the view. He only sees his bike. He does not smile. He looks lonely and bored.

Sara and Tom feel sorry for Ben. They think he is missing out on the beauty of the park. They think he is not healthy because he does not play with others.

They decide to be kind. They say, "Ben, do you want to play with us? We can share our ball and bat. We can also see the view. It is very pretty. Maybe you will like it."

Ben is surprised. He does not expect Sara and Tom to be nice to him. He feels ashamed. He says, "I am sorry. I was not nice to you. I was selfish. I thought my bike was the best. But I see now that it is not. I would like to play with you. And I would like to see the view. Thank you for being kind."

Sara and Tom smile. They welcome Ben to their game. They strike the ball and run. They also watch the view. They have fun and laugh a lot.

The moral of the story is: It is better to share and be kind than to be selfish and rude. It is also better to enjoy the simple things in life than to miss out on the beauty of nature.
Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and blocks. One day, they found a big box of thread in Anna's mom's closet. They decided to make necklaces and bracelets with the thread.

"Look, Ben, I made a necklace for you. It is blue and green, your favorite colors," Anna said, holding up her creation.

"Wow, thank you, Anna. You are very generous. I made a bracelet for you. It is pink and purple, your favorite colors," Ben said, giving her his gift.

They put on their new jewelry and smiled at each other. They felt very happy and proud.

"Anna, do you want to marry me?" Ben asked suddenly.

Anna was surprised, but she liked Ben very much. She nodded and said, "Yes, Ben, I want to marry you."

They hugged and kissed each other on the cheek. They pretended to be a married couple and played with their dolls and cars and blocks. They did not know what marriage really meant, but they knew they loved each other. They were very happy.
Bee was a little insect who liked to make honey. She worked hard every day with her friends, flying from flower to flower and carrying nectar to the hive. She was happy and proud of her honey.

One day, she saw a big bear near the hive. The bear was hungry and wanted to eat the honey. He roared and scratched at the hive, trying to break it open. Bee was fearful. She did not want the bear to hurt her home and her friends. She wanted to stop him.

She flew out of the hive and stung the bear on the nose. The bear yelped and shook his head. He was angry and tried to catch Bee. Bee was fast and flew away. She stung the bear again and again, until he gave up and ran away.

Bee was tired and hurt. She had lost her stinger and could not make honey anymore. She lay down on a leaf and closed her eyes. She hoped her friends were safe and thanked them for their honey. She smiled and fell asleep.
Sara loves to design things. She likes to draw, cut, glue and paint. She has many papers, scissors, stickers and colors. She wants to make her room more pretty. She has an idea.

She asks her mom, "Mom, can I design my wall?"

Her mom looks at her papers, scissors, stickers and colors. She smiles and says, "Sure, Sara. You can design your wall. But you have to be careful and not make a mess."

Sara is very happy. She says, "Thank you, mom. I will be careful and not make a mess." She starts to design her wall. She draws flowers, stars, hearts and rainbows. She cuts them out and glues them on the wall. She adds stickers of animals, letters and numbers. She paints some parts of the wall pink. She thinks pink is a very pretty color.

She works hard and has fun. She finishes her design. She looks at her wall and feels proud. She calls her mom, "Mom, come and see my wall!"

Her mom comes and sees her wall. She is surprised and amazed. She says, "Wow, Sara. You did a great job. Your wall is very beautiful and creative. I love it."

Sara hugs her mom and says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I love to design things."
Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. They saw a big slide. Lily wanted to go on the slide. Tom was scared.

"Come on, Tom. It is fun. You just have to jump and slide." Lily said.

"I don't want to jump. It is too high. I might fall." Tom said.

Lily did not listen. She grabbed Tom's hand and pulled him to the slide. Tom tried to stop, but Lily was too strong. They climbed to the top of the slide.

"Ready, Tom? One, two, three, jump!" Lily said.

Lily jumped and slid down the slide. She laughed and smiled. Tom jumped and slid down the slide too. But he did not laugh or smile. He screamed and cried.

Tom's hair got stuck on the slide. It hurt a lot. He lost some of his hair. He had a big bald spot on his head. Lily looked at him and gasped. She felt bad.

"I'm sorry, Tom. I did not mean to hurt you. Are you okay?" Lily said.

Tom was not okay. He was angry and sad. He did not want to be friends with Lily anymore. He ran away from the park. He never played with Lily again. Lily was alone and sorry. She wished she had listened to Tom. She learned a hard lesson. The end.
Sara loved to skip. She skipped to school, she skipped in the park, she skipped at home. She liked to skip with her friends, but sometimes they were busy or tired. Then Sara skipped by herself, but she felt lonely.

One day, she saw a dog in the street. The dog was small and black, with a white spot on his nose. He looked like a pepper. Sara liked peppers, they were spicy and yummy. She wondered if the dog liked peppers too. She went closer to the dog and said, "Hello, pepper. Do you want to skip with me?"

The dog wagged his tail and barked. He was happy to see Sara. He liked to skip too, but he had no friends. He was a stray dog, he had no home, no family, no toys. He was hungry and cold. Sara felt sorry for the dog. She was compassionate, she cared about others.

She said, "Pepper, you can be my friend. Come with me, I will give you some food and a warm blanket. You can play with my toys and sleep in my bed. You can skip with me every day. You will be happy, and I will be happy too."

The dog licked Sara's face and followed her. He was grateful to Sara. He was a pepper, and she was a salt. They were different, but they were good together. They skipped all the way to Sara's house, where they met her mom. Sara's mom was surprised, but she was compassionate too. She welcomed the dog and gave him a name tag. It said, "Pepper, Sara's friend." Sara and Pepper hugged and smiled. They were happy. They had found each other. They had found a home.
Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their bikes in the park. They had red bikes with two wheels and pedals. They could go fast and slow, and turn left and right.

One day, they saw a big hill in the park. They wanted to go up the hill and down the hill. They thought it would be fun. But Lily was fearful. She said, "Sam, the hill is too high. What if we fall?"

Sam said, "Don't be fearful, Lily. We can do it. We just have to pedal hard and hold on tight. It will be exciting. Come on, let's go."

Lily was still fearful, but she wanted to try. She followed Sam to the hill. They pedaled hard and went up the hill. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They reached the top of the hill and looked down. They saw the park and the trees and the flowers.

Sam said, "Wow, look how far we came. Are you ready to go down, Lily?"

Lily said, "Yes, I'm ready. Let's go."

They pedaled fast and went down the hill. They felt the thrill and the joy of going down. They laughed and shouted and smiled. They arrived at the bottom of the hill and stopped. They were happy and proud.

They hugged each other and said, "We did it, we did it. That was awesome. Let's do it again."
Tom and Lily liked to play in the farm. They had many friends there, like the cows, the pigs and the chickens. They also liked to see the big pumpkins that grew in the field. They were orange and round and very heavy.

One day, Tom and Lily saw a wild rabbit in the field. It was brown and soft and had long ears. They wanted to pet it, but it was scared of them. It ran away, but it hit a pumpkin with its leg. The pumpkin broke and the rabbit hurt its leg. It cried and cried.

Tom and Lily felt sorry for the rabbit. They wanted to help it. They ran to the barn and got some hay and a cloth. They made a bed for the rabbit and wrapped its leg with the cloth. They gave it some water and some carrots. They said, "Don't worry, rabbit. Your leg will heal soon. We will take care of you."

The rabbit stopped crying and looked at Tom and Lily. It saw that they were kind and gentle. It licked their hands and snuggled in the hay. It felt warm and safe. Tom and Lily smiled and said, "We are your friends, rabbit. We like you."

The next day, the rabbit's leg was better. It could hop and run again. It thanked Tom and Lily and said, "You are good friends, Tom and Lily. You helped me when I was hurt. I like you too."

Tom and Lily were happy. They said, "You are welcome, rabbit. We are glad you are well. You can come and play with us anytime."

The rabbit nodded and said, "I will, Tom and Lily. I will." And it hopped away, but not too far. It stayed close to the farm, where it had found new friends.
Tim wanted to go to space. He liked to look at the stars and the moon at night. He had a toy rocket and a helmet. He pretended to be an astronaut in his room.

One day, he saw a big box in the garage. It was his dad's new fridge. Tim had an idea. He asked his dad if he could have the box. His dad said yes. Tim was happy. He dragged the box to his room. He cut a window and a door in the box. He painted it red and white. He put his toy rocket and his helmet inside. He made a sign that said "Tim's Space Ship".

He waited for night to come. He put on his helmet and got in his space ship. He closed the door. He counted to ten. He said "Blast off!" He imagined he was flying to the moon. He looked out the window. He saw the stars and the moon. They were bright and beautiful. He smiled.

But then, he heard a noise. It was his mom. She opened the door. She said "Tim, it's time for bed. You can't sleep in the box. It's too dark and cold." Tim was sad. He wanted to stay in space. He said "But mom, I'm an astronaut. I'm going to the moon." His mom said "I know, honey. But you can go to the moon in your dreams. Come on, let's go to your bed. I'll read you a story."

She took him to his bed. She tucked him in. She read him a story about space. It was his favorite story. He listened and closed his eyes. He dreamed he was an astronaut. He dreamed he landed on the moon. He was happy. He succeeded.


Lily and Tom were playing in their room with their toys. They liked to make noises and pretend they were animals. Lily was a lion and Tom was a monkey. They roared and screeched and jumped on the bed.

"Stop that noise!" their elderly grandma shouted from the living room. "You are too loud and you will break the bed!"

Lily and Tom did not listen. They kept playing and having fun. They did not see that their grandma was coming to their room. She opened the door and saw them on the bed.

"What are you doing?" she asked. "You are not animals, you are children. You need to be quiet and respectful."

She took their toys and put them in a box. She said they could not play with them until they said sorry and behaved.

Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They did not want to lose their toys. They did not want to say sorry. They wanted to play.

They looked at each other and had an idea. They waited until their grandma left the room. Then they ran to the box and opened it. They took their toys and ran out of the room.

They went to the garden and found a big tree. They climbed the tree and hid their toys in the branches. They smiled and hugged each other.

"We are free!" they said. "We can play as much as we want!"

They roared and screeched and swung from the tree. They did not care about their grandma or the room. They were happy.

Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play at school. Today, they have a quiz. The quiz is about animals. Lily and Ben know many animals. They are not scared of the quiz.

But Sam is scared. He does not like quizzes. He thinks they are hard and boring. He does not want to do the quiz. He wants to play with his toy car. He sees Lily and Ben sitting at their desks. He is angry. He wants them to play with him.

He walks to Lily and Ben. He pushes their desks. He says, "Stop doing the quiz! Come and play with me!" Lily and Ben are sad. They do not like Sam. He is mean and rude. He makes their papers fall. He makes their pencils break. He makes them lose their answers.

The teacher sees Sam. She is not happy. She says, "Sam, what are you doing? You are not being nice. You are not following the rules. You have to do the quiz. You have to respect your friends. Go to your desk and do your quiz. Or you will go to time out."

Sam does not listen. He pushes the teacher. He says, "No! I don't want to do the quiz! I want to play!" The teacher is very angry. She says, "Sam, that is enough. You are going to time out. You have to learn to behave. You have to learn to share. You have to learn to do your work."

She takes Sam to the corner. She gives him a chair. She says, "Sit here and think about what you did. You can come back when you are ready to say sorry and do your quiz." Sam sits on the chair. He is not comfortable. He is not happy. He is not having fun. He wishes he did not push Lily and Ben and the teacher. He wishes he did his quiz. He wishes he was a good friend.


Lily and Tom were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside to play. They looked around the house for something fun to do.

"Let's play hide and seek!" Lily said. "You count to ten and I will hide."

"Okay," Tom said. He closed his eyes and started to count. "One, two, three..."

Lily ran to the living room and saw a big chair. She thought it was a good place to hide. She crawled under the chair and waited for Tom to find her.

"Ten!" Tom shouted. He opened his eyes and looked for Lily. He checked the kitchen, the bathroom, and the bedroom, but he could not see her. He went to the living room and saw the big chair. He had a feeling that Lily was hiding there.

He walked to the chair and lifted the cover. He saw Lily's face and smiled. "I found you!" he said.

Lily giggled and came out of the chair. "You are good at finding," she said. "Now it is your turn to hide and I will count."

Tom nodded and ran to find a new hiding spot. He wanted to keep playing with Lily. He liked hide and seek. It made the gloomy day more fun.
Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Tom has a big truck and Lily has a doll. They share their toys and take turns.

"Look, Lily, my truck can go fast and make beep beep sounds!" Tom says, zooming his truck on the floor.

"Wow, Tom, your truck is cool! Can I try?" Lily asks, holding out her hand.

"Sure, Lily, here you go. And can I see your doll? She has pretty hair and a nice dress." Tom says, giving Lily his truck and taking her doll.

They swap their toys and play some more. They are happy and laugh a lot.

But then, their mom comes in and says, "Kids, it's time to clean up. Put your toys away and get ready for dinner."

Tom and Lily do not want to stop playing. They like their toys and they are having fun. They say, "No, mom, we want to play more. Please, mom, just a little more."

Mom shakes her head and says, "No, kids, you have to listen to me. You have played enough. Now, it's time to clean up. Come on, it won't take long. And then, you can have some yummy food."

Tom and Lily are not happy. They do not want to clean up. They do not want to eat. They want to play. They start to cry and whine. They throw their toys on the floor and say, "No, no, no!"

Mom is not happy either. She does not like their bad behavior. She says, "That's enough, kids. You are being very naughty. If you don't clean up right now, you will have no dessert and no bedtime story. Do you hear me?"

Tom and Lily pause. They look at each other. They love dessert and bedtime stories. They do not want to miss them. But they also do not want to clean up. They are confused and angry. They do not know what to do.

They decide to be bad. They say, "We don't care, mom. We don't want dessert and bedtime stories. We want to play. Go away, mom. Leave us alone."

Mom is very sad and angry. She says, "Fine, kids. If that's what you want, then that's what you get. You can play with your toys, but you will have no dessert and no bedtime story. And you will have to go to bed early. And you will have to stay in your room until morning. Do you understand?"

Tom and Lily nod. They think they have won. They think they can play as much as they want. They do not care about mom. They do not care about dessert and bedtime stories. They do not care about anything.

Mom leaves them alone. She goes to the kitchen and makes dinner. She does not call them. She does not talk to them. She does not look at them.

Tom and Lily play with their toys. But soon, they get bored. They have played with their toys too much. They have nothing new to do. They have no one to talk to. They have no one to hug them. They have no one to love them.

They start to feel hungry. They smell the food from the kitchen. It smells good. They want to eat. They want to have dessert. They want to have bedtime stories. They want to have mom.

They go to the kitchen and see mom. She is eating by herself. She has a plate of food and a bowl of dessert. She has a book on the table. She looks sad and lonely.

Tom and Lily feel sorry. They feel guilty. They feel ashamed. They want to say sorry. They want to hug mom. They want to be good.

They go to mom and say, "Mom, we are sorry. We were bad. We love you. Can we have some food? Can we have some dessert? Can we have a bedtime story?"

Mom looks at them. She does not smile. She does not hug them. She does not say anything. She just shakes her head and says, "No, kids. You made your choice. You have to live with it. Go back to your room and go to bed. And don't come out until morning."

Tom and Lily cry. They beg and plead. They say, "Please, mom, please. We are sorry. We are hungry. We are scared. We need you. Please, mom, please."

But mom does not listen. She does not change her mind. She does not open her heart. She says, "No, kids. No. Go away. Leave me alone."

Tom and Lily go back to their room. They have no food. They have no dessert
Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together. Sometimes they play with their toys, sometimes they play with their dog, and sometimes they play with their hair.

One day, they decide to play hair salon. Lily has long hair and Tom has short hair. Lily says, "I am the hair lady. You are the customer. What do you want me to do with your hair?"

Tom thinks for a moment. He says, "I want fast hair. Like a car. Can you make my hair fast?"

Lily nods. She says, "Yes, I can make your hair fast. Sit here and let me work." She takes a comb and a spray bottle. She combs Tom's hair and sprays some water on it. Then she takes some clips and pins. She makes Tom's hair stand up in spikes. She says, "There. Now you have fast hair. Do you like it?"

Tom looks in the mirror. He sees his hair sticking up like a car. He smiles. He says, "Yes, I like it. Thank you, hair lady. You are very good at your job."

Lily smiles too. She says, "You are welcome, customer. Now it is your turn. You are the hair man. I am the customer. What can you do with my hair?"

Tom says, "I can make your hair pretty. Like a flower. Can you wait for me?"

Lily says, "Yes, I can wait for you. I am excited to see my hair."

Tom takes a brush and a ribbon. He brushes Lily's hair and ties it in a ponytail. Then he takes some stickers and flowers. He sticks them on Lily's hair. He says, "There. Now you have pretty hair. Do you like it?"

Lily looks in the mirror. She sees her hair decorated with stickers and flowers. She giggles. She says, "Yes, I like it. Thank you, hair man. You are very creative."

Tom giggles too. He says, "You are welcome, customer. We are both happy with our hair."

They hug each other and say, "We love playing hair salon. It is fun."

Lily likes to wear her pink dress. It has flowers and butterflies on it. She thinks it makes her look attractive. She wants to show her dress to her friend Max.

She goes to Max's house and knocks on the door. Max opens the door and smiles. He sees Lily's dress and says, "Wow, you look attractive, Lily!"

Lily feels happy and says, "Thank you, Max! I like your face. You have a nice smile."

Max blushes and says, "Thank you, Lily! You have a nice face too. You have pretty eyes."

Lily and Max hug and go to play in the garden. They have fun and share their toys. They are good friends. They like to wear nice clothes and compliment each other's faces. They think they are attractive.
Sara liked to read books with her mom. She had many books with pictures and stories. She had a book about a farm, a book about a zoo, and a book about a princess. She loved them all.

One day, she wanted to read her book about a farm. She asked her mom to read it with her. Her mom said yes and they sat on the couch. Sara opened the book and turned the pages. She saw a cow, a pig, a sheep, and a horse. She pointed at them and said their names.

"Look, mom, a cow! Moo!"

"Yes, Sara, that's a cow. It gives us milk."

"Look, mom, a pig! Oink!"

"Yes, Sara, that's a pig. It likes to roll in the mud."

"Look, mom, a sheep! Baa!"

"Yes, Sara, that's a sheep. It has wool for sweaters."

"Look, mom, a horse! Neigh!"

"Yes, Sara, that's a horse. It can run fast and carry people."

Sara turned the page and saw a big tractor. She did not know what it was. She asked her mom.

"Mom, what is that?"

"That's a tractor, Sara. It helps the farmer with the crops."

"What are crops, mom?"

"Crops are plants that grow in the field. They give us food, like corn and wheat."

"Oh, I see. Can I drive the tractor, mom?"

"No, Sara, you are too little to drive the tractor. It is very big and loud. You have to yield to the tractor when you see it on the road. That means you have to let it go first and be careful."

"OK, mom, I will yield to the tractor. But can I ride the horse, mom?"

"Maybe when you are bigger, Sara. For now, you can read about the horse and the other animals on the farm. Do you like this book, Sara?"

"Yes, mom, I love this book. Thank you for reading it with me."

"You're welcome, Sara. I love you."

"I love you too, mom."
Sam and Mia were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the ocean, like fish, shells, and seaweed.

One day, they decided to wander along the shore and look for more things. They held hands and walked away from their parents, who were sitting on a blanket. They did not see how far they went.

"Look, Mia, a starfish!" Sam said, pointing to a red star on the sand. "It is incredible!"

"Wow, can we touch it?" Mia asked, bending down to see it better.

"Be careful, it might be prickly," Sam said, reaching out his hand.

Suddenly, they heard their mom calling their names. They looked up and saw that they were very far from their parents. They also saw that the water was getting higher and closer to them.

"Sam, Mia, come back now!" their mom shouted, waving her arms. "The tide is coming in!"

Sam and Mia got scared and ran back to their parents. They hugged them and said they were sorry for wandering away.

"It's okay, we're glad you're safe," their mom said, kissing their heads. "But next time, don't go too far from us, okay?"

"Okay, mom," Sam and Mia said. "We love you."

They learned their lesson and stayed close to their parents for the rest of the day. They still had fun at the beach, but they did not wander anymore. They knew that the ocean was incredible, but also dangerous.
Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toy planes. They had many planes of different colors and sizes, but their favorite was the big red plane with shiny wings. They pretended to fly the plane around the house, making zoom and beep sounds.

One day, their mom said they had to go to the store with her. She said they could bring one toy each, but they had to hurry. Tim and Sam both wanted to bring the red plane, but they could not share it. They started to fight over the plane, pulling and pushing it.

"Stop it, boys!" their mom said. "You can't both have the plane. You have to choose another toy or none at all."

"But we love the red plane!" Tim and Sam said. "It's the best plane ever!"

Their mom sighed. "You are delaying us. We have to go now. If you can't decide, I will decide for you."

She reached for the plane, but Tim and Sam held on tight. They did not want to let go of the plane. They did not see the cat sneaking behind them. The cat was curious about the plane. It jumped and grabbed the plane with its claws. It ran away with the plane, leaving Tim and Sam with empty hands.

"Hey, come back!" Tim and Sam shouted. "That's our plane!"

They chased the cat, but the cat was faster. It ran out of the house, through the garden, and into the street. Tim and Sam followed, but they did not look both ways. They did not see the car coming. The car honked and braked, but it was too late. It hit the plane, breaking it into pieces. The cat ran away, scared. Tim and Sam stopped, shocked. They saw the red plane, their favorite plane, lying on the ground, with its wings bent and its body cracked.

They started to cry. They realized they had been silly and selfish. They wished they had shared the plane or picked another toy. They wished they had listened to their mom and not delayed her. They wished they had not lost the plane.

Their mom came running, worried. She saw the plane and the car and the boys. She hugged them and checked if they were hurt. They were not, but they were very sad.

"I'm sorry, mom," Tim and Sam said. "We were bad. We fought over the plane and we ran after the cat and we broke the plane."

Their mom kissed them and said, "It's okay, boys. I'm glad you are safe. The plane is just a toy. You can get another one someday. But you are my sons, and I love you more than anything. You have to be careful and kind and listen to me. Do you understand?"

Tim and Sam nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We understand. We love you too."

They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They never fought over the plane again. They played with their other toys and shared them. They were happy and good brothers.



Tom and Lily are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. They have a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also like to look at the birds, the flowers and the clouds.

One day, they find a note on a bench. The note has a picture of a heart and some words. Tom and Lily do not know what the words say. They are curious. They want to know who wrote the note and why.

They decide to discuss the note with their teacher, Miss Rose. They run to the school and show her the note. Miss Rose smiles and reads the note. She says, "This is a very nice note. It says, 'I love you, Mom. You are the best. Happy Mother's Day.' Someone wrote this note for their mom and left it here by mistake."

Tom and Lily are surprised. They think that is very sweet. They ask Miss Rose, "Can we help find the person who wrote the note? Maybe they are sad that they lost it."

Miss Rose nods and says, "That is very kind of you. Maybe we can ask around the park and see if anyone knows who wrote the note. Maybe they are still here or they will come back later."

Tom and Lily agree. They thank Miss Rose and go back to the park. They look for people who might have written the note. They ask them politely if they know anything about the note. They hope they can make someone happy.

They are also happy. They enjoy their peaceful adventure. They feel good that they are trying to do something nice. They are still best friends. They still like to play in the park. They also like to help others. They are good kids.
Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big puddle. They want to jump in it.

"Let's jump in the puddle!" Anna says.

"OK!" Ben says.

They run to the puddle and jump in it. Splash! Splash! Splash! They laugh and have fun. They get very wet.

But then, they hear a voice. It is their neighbor, Mr. Lee. He is angry.

"Hey, you kids! Stop jumping in the puddle! You are making a mess! You are making my flowers wet!" Mr. Lee says.

Anna and Ben stop jumping. They look at Mr. Lee. They see his flowers. They are wet and sad.

"We are sorry, Mr. Lee. We did not mean to make your flowers wet. We just wanted to play," Anna says.

"Yeah, we are sorry. We did not know your flowers were here," Ben says.

Mr. Lee sighs. He is not so angry now. He sees that Anna and Ben are sorry.

"It's OK, kids. I know you did not mean to. But you have to be careful. My flowers are very important to me. They need water, but not too much. Can you help me solve this problem?" Mr. Lee says.

Anna and Ben nod. They want to help Mr. Lee. They want to make him happy.

"Sure, Mr. Lee. How can we help?" Anna says.

"Well, you can help me move some of the water away from the flowers. You can use these buckets and pour the water on the grass. That way, the flowers will not be too wet, and the grass will be happy too," Mr. Lee says.

Anna and Ben think that is a good idea. They take the buckets and start to move the water. They work hard and fast. They pour the water on the grass. They see the flowers smile. They see Mr. Lee smile.

"Thank you, kids. You did a great job. You solved the problem. You are very smart and kind. You can play in the park, but please, no more jumping in the puddle," Mr. Lee says.

Anna and Ben smile too. They are happy. They say sorry again and thank you to Mr. Lee. They give him a hug. They go back to the park. They play with their ball. They are still wet, but they do not mind. They learned something new. They made a new friend. They had a good day.

Tom and Anna are playing in the park. They see a shiny penny on the ground. Tom picks it up and shows it to Anna.

"Look, a penny!" he says. "It is shiny and round. Maybe we can buy candy with it."

Anna wants to see the penny too. She tries to grab it from Tom, but he holds it tight.

"No, it is mine!" he says. "I found it first. You can't have it."

Anna is angry. She does not like to share. She opens her mouth and bites Tom's hand. Tom feels pain and drops the penny. He cries out loud.

"Ow, ow, ow! Anna, why did you bite me? That hurts!"

Anna is sorry. She did not mean to hurt Tom. She just wanted the penny. She sees Tom's hand is red and has teeth marks. She feels bad.

"I'm sorry, Tom. I was wrong. I should not bite you. Biting is bad. Are you okay?"

Tom is still crying. He is sad and mad. He does not want to play with Anna anymore. He picks up the penny and runs away.

Anna is alone. She has no penny and no friend. She wishes she was nice to Tom. She wishes she knew how to share. She thinks the penny is not useful at all. It only made them fight. She wants to say sorry to Tom and be friends again. She hopes he will forgive her. She runs after him.
Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to ride their bikes and go fast. They always wore their helmets to be safe. Their helmets were hard and strong.

One day, they saw a big tree with a rope. The rope had a tire at the end. It looked like fun. They wanted to swing on the rope and feel the wind.

"Can we try it?" Lily asked Ben.

"OK, but be careful. The rope is high and the tire is old," Ben said.

They took off their helmets and hung them on a branch. Then they took turns to swing on the rope. Lily went first. She held on tight and laughed. Ben went next. He pushed harder and went higher. He felt brave.

But then, something bad happened. The tire broke and Ben fell to the ground. He hit his head and cried. Lily ran to him and hugged him. She was scared.

"Are you OK, Ben?" Lily asked.

"My head hurts. I wish I had my helmet," Ben said.

They looked at the branch where they hung their helmets. But their helmets were not there. A big wind had blown them away. They were gone.

Lily and Ben felt sad and sorry. They learned a lesson. They should not leave their helmets. Their helmets were important. Their heads were fragile. They needed to protect them. They decided to always wear their helmets and be safe. They hoped to find their helmets again. They said sorry to their parents and hugged them. Their parents were glad they were OK. They loved them very much.
Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the forest. One day, they saw a big owl sitting on a branch. They wanted to talk to the owl, because they heard that owls had wisdom. Wisdom was something that helped you know many things and do them well.

"Hello, Mr. Owl," Ben said. "Can you share some wisdom with us?"

The owl looked at them with his big eyes and said, "Who, who, who are you?"

"We are Ben and Lily, and we are twins," Lily said. "We like to learn new things and have fun."

The owl nodded and said, "If you want wisdom, you have to search for it. It is not something that I can give you. You have to find it in yourself and in the world."

"How do we search for wisdom?" Ben asked.

The owl said, "You have to be curious, brave, kind, and honest. You have to ask questions, try new things, help others, and tell the truth. You have to listen, observe, think, and feel. You have to learn from your mistakes and from your successes. You have to love and be loved."

"That sounds hard," Lily said.

"It is hard, but it is also fun and rewarding," the owl said. "Wisdom is not a thing that you have, but a way that you are. It makes you happy and wise."

Ben and Lily thanked the owl and said goodbye. They decided to search for wisdom every day, in their games, in their friends, in their family, and in themselves. They also decided to visit the owl again, because he was a good and wise friend.

The end.
Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with red fruits. They were cherries. Tom and Sue wanted to eat some.

"Look, cherries!" Tom said. "Let's climb the tree and get some."

"OK, but be careful," Sue said. "The tree is very high and the branches are thin."

Tom was not careful. He was careless. He climbed too fast and too far. He did not listen to Sue. He wanted to get the biggest cherry. He reached for it, but he lost his balance. He fell down with a thud.

"Tom, are you OK?" Sue asked. She ran to him. She was scared.

Tom was not OK. He was hurt. He cried. He had a big bump on his head and a scratch on his arm. He wished he had been careful.

"I'm sorry, Sue," Tom said. "I was silly. I should have listened to you."

"It's OK, Tom," Sue said. "But next time, please be careful. Cherries are not worth getting hurt."

She hugged him and helped him get up. They walked to the nurse. The nurse gave Tom a band-aid and a lollipop. Sue gave Tom a cherry. They were still friends.
Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see a big fountain with water that goes up and down. Sara wants to go closer and touch the water. Ben says no, it is too wet and cold.

Sara does not listen. She runs to the fountain and puts her hand in the water. It feels nice and funny. She smiles and splashes the water. Ben watches from far away. He is afraid Sara will get in trouble.

Sara sees a shiny coin at the bottom of the fountain. She wants to get it. She leans over the edge of the fountain and reaches for the coin. She is not careful. She slips and falls into the water. She screams and cries. The water is deep and cold.

Ben hears Sara and runs to help her. He is strong and brave. He jumps into the fountain and grabs Sara. He pulls her out of the water and hugs her. He says it is okay, he is here. Sara is wet and scared. She says she is sorry and thanks Ben.

A man who works in the park sees what happened. He comes to check on Sara and Ben. He says they are lucky they are not hurt. He says they should not play in the fountain. It is not safe. He gives them a towel to dry off. He tells them to go home and change their clothes. Sara and Ben nod and say yes. They hold hands and walk away. They learned their lesson. They will not play in the fountain again.
Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together. They have many toys in their room. But their room is messy. Mom and Dad are not happy.

One day, Mom and Dad say, "Tom and Lily, you need to clean your room. It is too messy. You can not find your toys. You can not mail your letters. You can not see the cloud outside. You need to be organized."

Tom and Lily do not want to clean their room. They want to play. They say, "Mom and Dad, we do not like to clean. Cleaning is boring. Playing is fun. We can mail our letters later. We can see the cloud tomorrow. We do not need to be organized."

Mom and Dad say, "No, Tom and Lily, you need to clean your room now. Cleaning is not boring. Cleaning is good. You can play after you clean. You can mail your letters faster. You can see the cloud better. You need to be organized."

Tom and Lily sigh. They do not want to make Mom and Dad sad. They say, "OK, Mom and Dad, we will clean our room. We will put our toys in the box. We will put our clothes in the drawer. We will put our books on the shelf. We will mail our letters to Grandma and Grandpa. We will see the cloud in the sky. We will be organized."

Lily liked to dance. She danced every day in her room. She had a doll that was a dancer too. She wore a pink dress and had long hair. Lily loved her doll very much.

One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She brought her doll with her. She saw a girl on the swings. The girl had a doll too. But her doll was not a dancer. Her doll was a doctor. She wore a white coat and had a stethoscope.

Lily wanted to play with the girl and her doll. She ran to the swings and said hello. The girl said hello back. Lily asked if she could hold the doctor doll. The girl said yes. She gave the doctor doll to Lily. Lily smiled and held the doctor doll. She liked how it felt.

Then the girl asked if she could hold the dancer doll. Lily said no. She hugged the dancer doll and said it was hers. She did not want to share. The girl looked sad. She asked again. Lily said no again. She was selfish.

The girl started to cry. She wanted her doctor doll back. She said Lily was mean. Lily's mom heard the crying. She came to the swings and saw what happened. She was not happy. She told Lily to give the doctor doll back and to say sorry. Lily did not want to. She liked the doctor doll. But she knew she had to. She gave the doctor doll back and said sorry. The girl stopped crying and said thank you. She hugged her doctor doll.

Lily's mom told Lily that she should share her toys with others. She said that sharing was nice and that being selfish was not. She said that Lily could make friends if she shared. Lily felt bad. She did not want to be selfish. She wanted to be nice. She wanted to make friends.

She looked at the girl and her doll. She had an idea. She asked the girl if she wanted to play with both dolls. She said they could pretend that the doctor doll was helping the dancer doll with her injury. The girl liked the idea. She smiled and said yes. She gave the doctor doll to Lily. Lily gave the dancer doll to the girl. They held each other's dolls and played together. They had fun. They became friends. Lily was happy. She learned to share.
Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be different animals. Lily liked to be a lion and Ben liked to be a monkey.

"Roar!" Lily said, jumping on the couch. "I am the king of the jungle!"

"Ooh-ooh-ah-ah!" Ben said, swinging from the curtain. "I am the best monkey in the world!"

They laughed and played until they heard a loud knock on the door. They ran to see who it was. It was their uncle Sam, who was a famous explorer. He had a big suitcase with him.

"Hello, Lily and Ben!" he said, smiling. "I have a surprise for you!"

He opened his suitcase and took out a small, furry creature. It had a long tail, big ears and a funny face. It was a real monkey!

"Wow!" Lily and Ben said, amazed. "A real monkey!"

"This is Coco," uncle Sam said. "He is a very smart and friendly monkey. He can do tricks and say some words. He is my travel buddy, but I thought you might like to play with him for a while."

"Can we, can we?" Lily and Ben asked, excited.

"Of course, but you have to be careful and gentle with him," uncle Sam said. "He is not a toy, he is a living being. And he can be very naughty sometimes. Don't let him destroy anything or hurt himself."

"OK, uncle Sam, we promise," Lily and Ben said.

They took Coco to the living room and showed him their toys. Coco was curious and playful. He liked to touch and grab everything. He made funny noises and copied what Lily and Ben said.

"Coco, Coco!" he said, pointing at himself.

"Lily, Lily!" Lily said, pointing at herself.

"Ben, Ben!" Ben said, pointing at himself.

They clapped and cheered. They taught Coco some tricks, like rolling over, giving high fives and waving. Coco learned quickly and enjoyed the attention.

They had a lot of fun with Coco, but they also had to watch him closely. Sometimes he would try to eat something he shouldn't, like a crayon or a button. Sometimes he would throw something he didn't like, like a book or a pillow. Sometimes he would climb on something he couldn't, like a lamp or a shelf.

"Bad monkey, bad monkey!" Lily and Ben would say, scolding him.

"Sorry, sorry!" Coco would say, looking guilty.

They would hug him and forgive him. They loved Coco and Coco loved them.

They played with Coco until it was time for uncle Sam to leave. They said goodbye to him and thanked him for the surprise.

"Did you have fun with Coco?" uncle Sam asked.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily and Ben said.

"Did he destroy anything?" uncle Sam asked.

"No, no, no!" Lily and Ben said.

They smiled and crossed their fingers behind their backs. They hoped uncle Sam wouldn't notice the small holes in the curtain, the bite marks on the couch and the scratches on the wall. They hoped he would come back soon with another surprise. They hoped they could see Coco again. They hugged Coco and kissed him. Coco hugged them and kissed them back.

"Bye, bye, Coco!" they said.

"Bye, bye, Lily and Ben!" Coco said.

She saw a boy sitting by himself. He had a book of dinosaurs. Lily liked dinosaurs too. She walked up to him and said, "Hi, I am Lily. What is your name?"

The boy looked up and smiled. He said, "Hi, I am Max. I like dinosaurs. Do you want to see my book?"

Lily nodded. She sat next to Max and looked at his book. They saw pictures of big and small dinosaurs. They learned their names and sounds. They had fun.

Then, Lily had an idea. She said, "Do you want to draw dinosaurs with me? I have crayons and paper. We can be creative and make our own dinosaurs."

Max said, "Yes, that sounds fun. I have stickers and glitter. We can make them sparkle."

They went to a table and got their supplies. They started to draw and decorate their dinosaurs. They made them colorful and shiny. They gave them names and stories. They laughed and shared.

Soon, other kids saw their art. They came over and said, "Wow, your dinosaurs are awesome. Can we join you?"

Lily and Max said, "Sure, we have more paper and crayons. You can use our stickers and glitter too. Let's make more dinosaurs together."

They introduced themselves and became friends. They had a great time. They made a big poster of their dinosaurs and hung it on the wall. They were proud of their work.

Lila was not scared. She was brave and excited. She ran to the edge of the board and jumped. She dived into the water like a fish. She felt the water on her skin and in her hair. She opened her eyes and saw bubbles and light.

"Look, Anna, I made a big castle with a moat and a bridge!" Ben said, showing his creation.

"That's nice, Ben, but look at mine. I made an oasis with a deep pool and palm trees and flowers!" Anna said, pointing to her sand art.

"What's an oasis?" Ben asked.

"An oasis is a place with water and plants in the desert. It's very pretty and cool. Do you want to play with me in my oasis?" Anna asked.

Ben looked at Anna's oasis. He thought it was too girly and boring. He liked his castle better. He decided to ignore Anna and play with his cars.

"Ben, come on, don't ignore me. Let's play together. We can share our toys and have fun. Please?" Anna begged.

But Ben did not listen. He kept playing with his cars and making noises. He drove his cars around his castle and pretended to fight enemies.

Anna felt sad and lonely. She wished Ben would play with her. She did not like to be ignored. She looked at her oasis and thought it was very pretty and cool. She decided to play with her toys and pretend to swim in the pool and pick flowers.

She had fun by herself, but she still missed Ben. She hoped he would change his mind and join her in her oasis. She thought they could be friends and have more fun together. She waited for him to look at her and smile.
Tom and Lily were bored. They had no toys to play with and no books to read. They looked out the window and saw only rain and clouds.

"Let's make something fun," Tom said to Lily. "Do you have any ideas?"

Lily thought for a moment. Then she smiled and said, "I know! Let's make popcorn!"

Tom and Lily ran to the kitchen. They found a big pot and some corn kernels. They asked their mom to help them. She put some oil and salt in the pot and turned on the stove. She told them to be careful and watch the pot.

Soon, they heard a loud pop. Then another pop. And another. The pot was full of white and fluffy popcorn. Tom and Lily clapped their hands and laughed.

"Wow, this is interesting!" Tom said. "How does the corn turn into popcorn?"

Mom explained that the heat makes the water inside the corn expand and burst the shell. She poured the popcorn into a big bowl and gave it to Tom and Lily.

"Thank you, mom!" they said. They took the bowl to the living room and sat on the couch. They spread the popcorn on a big tray and shared it. They ate and ate until they were full and happy.

They forgot about the rain and the clouds. They had made something fun and interesting. They had made popcorn.
Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big egg in the grass. It is brown and shiny.

"Wow, look at this egg!" Lily says. "It is so pretty. I want to own it."

"No, I want to own it!" Ben says. "It is so cool. Maybe there is a dinosaur inside."

They both grab the egg and pull. They do not want to share. They are angry and sad.

"Stop it, you two!" a voice says. It is Tom, the park ranger. He is serious. He wears a hat and a badge. "That is not your egg. That is a bird's egg. You have to put it back where you found it. Or the bird will be sad and worried."

Lily and Ben look at Tom. They feel sorry. They did not know it was a bird's egg. They let go of the egg and put it back in the grass.

"Sorry, Tom," Lily says. "We did not mean to hurt the egg."

"Sorry, Tom," Ben says. "We did not mean to be greedy."

Tom smiles. He is not angry anymore. He is glad they are sorry. He teaches them about the bird that lays the egg. It is a goose. It is big and white and has a long neck.

Lily and Ben listen to Tom. They learn something new. They are happy. They decide to be friends again. They do not want to own the egg anymore. They want to watch the egg and see the baby goose. They thank Tom and hug each other. They play in the park. They are careful with the egg. They are good.
Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. They have a big crane toy. The crane can lift things up and down.

One day, they are playing with the crane in the garden. They see a bird on a tree. The bird is fast and pretty. It has red and yellow feathers.

"Look, a bird!" Tom says. "Let's catch it with the crane!"

"OK!" Sam says. They move the crane near the tree. They try to grab the bird with the crane. But the bird is too fast. It flies away.

"Too bad!" Tom says. "The bird is too fast for the crane."

"Maybe we can catch something else," Sam says. He sees a big apple on the ground. It is red and shiny. "Look, an apple! Let's eat it!"

But Sam did not listen. He ran into the water and swam towards the octopus. He wanted to touch it and play with it. He thought it was funny and cool.

The octopus saw Sam and did not like him. It did not want to play. It was angry and scared. It wrapped its arms around Sam and squeezed him hard. It pulled him under the water and did not let go.

"Are you ready, Tom?" Uncle Sam asked. "I will throw the ball and you try to strike it."

"Yes, uncle, I am ready!" Tom said. He felt excited and nervous. He wanted to strike the ball like his uncle.

Uncle Sam threw the ball in the air. Tom watched it carefully. He lifted his bat and swung it hard. But he missed the ball. It flew past him and hit a tree.

"Oops!" Tom said. He felt sad and silly. He looked at his uncle. He thought his uncle would be angry or laugh at him.

But uncle Sam smiled. He ran to Tom and gave him a hug. "That's okay, Tom. You did very well. It was a mild strike. You just need to practice more. Let's try again. You can do it!"

"No, I did not!" Ben says. "Anna lied!"

Mom looks at Anna and Ben. She is serious. She knows they are not telling the truth.

"Oh, no! Are you okay? Did you burn yourselves?" Mom asked.

"A little bit. It hurt." Sara said.

"A little bit. It was hot." Tom said.

Mom hugged them. She took them to the sink. She ran cold water over their hands.

Tim and Sam are sad and scared. They want their game back. They scream, "Help! Help! Give us our game back! You are mean and bad!" They scream loud and loud. But no one hears them. No one comes to help them. The big boy laughs and plays hockey by himself. He scores many goals. He says, "I am great at hockey. I am the best. You are losers. You can't play hockey. You can only scream."

Tim and Sam cry and cry. They sit on the grass and watch the big boy play hockey. They wish they had their game back. They wish they had a friend to help them. They learn a lesson. They learn that hockey is not fun when someone is mean and takes your game. They learn that screaming is not enough when someone is bigger and stronger than you.

Tim and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But then the sky became dark and loud. It started to rain very hard. Tim and Mia were wet and cold.

"Let's go home!" Mia said. "I don't like the rain."

"Me neither," Tim said. "But how do we get home? We don't have an umbrella or a coat."

They looked around and saw a big pine tree. It had many green needles and a thick trunk. They ran to the tree and hid under it. The tree kept some of the rain away, but not all of it.

They hugged each other and trembled. They wished their mom and dad would come and get them. They were scared of the rain and the noise.

"Tim, Mia, where are you?" They heard a voice. It was their mom. She had an umbrella and a coat. She saw them under the tree and ran to them.

"Mom, mom, we're here!" Tim and Mia shouted. They were happy to see her. She wrapped them in her coat and gave them a kiss.

"Are you okay, my sweeties?" She asked. "You're so wet and cold."

"We're okay, mom," Tim said. "But we don't like the rain."

"We're sorry, mom," Mia said. "We didn't know it would rain so hard."

"It's okay, my loves," Mom said. "Let's go home and get dry and warm. The rain will stop soon. And then we can play in the park again."
Lily and Tom were twins who liked to read books. They had a big book with many words in it. It was called a dictionary. They liked to learn new words from it.

One day, they found a lovely cake on the table. It had pink icing and sprinkles on it. It looked yummy. They wanted to eat some of it.

"Can we have some cake, Mom?" they asked.

"Not now, dear. That cake is for Grandma's birthday. She is coming later. You can have some after we sing to her. Now go and play," Mom said.

Lily and Tom nodded and went to their room. But Tom was still hungry. He thought of the cake. He wanted to have a bite. He sneaked out of the room and went to the kitchen. He saw the cake on the table. He reached for it.

But Lily saw him. She followed him and saw what he was doing. She was angry.

"Tom, stop! You are spoiling the cake! Mom said we can't have it now. It is for Grandma. She will be sad if she sees the cake like this," she said.

Tom did not listen. He took a big bite of the cake. He smiled. It was sweet and soft.

Lily was very upset. She grabbed the dictionary from the shelf. She threw it at Tom. It hit him on the head. He dropped the cake. He cried.

Mom heard the noise. She came to the kitchen. She saw the mess. She saw the cake. She saw the dictionary. She saw Lily and Tom. She was shocked.

"What happened here? Who did this? Why did you spoil the cake? Why did you throw the dictionary? You are both in big trouble!" she said.

Sam and Lily were twins who loved to go on adventures. One day, their dad took them to the big water where they saw many boats. Some boats were small and some boats were big. But the biggest boat of all was a yacht. It was white and shiny and had many windows.

"Wow, look at that yacht!" Sam said. "Can we go on it, dad?"

"Sorry, kids, that yacht belongs to someone else. We can only look at it from here," dad said.

Lily felt sad. She wanted to see what was inside the yacht. She wondered if it had toys and books and snacks. She wished she could taste the snacks on the yacht.

"Maybe we can sneak on the yacht when no one is looking," she whispered to Sam.

Sam nodded. He was curious too. He liked to explore new places. He saw a ladder on the side of the yacht. He thought they could climb it and get on the yacht.

"Let's go, Lily. Follow me," he said.

They waited until dad was busy talking to another man. Then they ran to the ladder and climbed up. They were very quiet and careful. They did not want to get caught.

They reached the top of the ladder and saw a door. They opened it and went inside. They saw a big room with a sofa and a table and a TV. They saw another door that said "kitchen". They opened it and saw a fridge and a stove and a sink. They saw many snacks on the counter. They saw cookies and chips and candy.

"Wow, look at all these snacks!" Lily said. "Let's taste them!"

They grabbed some snacks and started to eat. They tasted sweet and salty and crunchy. They liked them very much. They did not notice that someone else was in the kitchen. It was the owner of the yacht. He was a big man with a beard and a hat. He was angry.

"Hey, who are you? What are you doing here? Get off my yacht!" he shouted.

Sam and Lily were scared. They dropped their snacks and ran to the door. They saw dad outside. He was looking for them. He saw them and was shocked.

"Sam! Lily! What are you doing on the yacht? Come down right now!" he said.

They climbed down the ladder and ran to dad. He hugged them and was relieved. He was also mad.

"Kids, you can't just go on someone else's yacht. That's very rude and dangerous. You could have gotten hurt or in trouble. You have to ask permission first. And you can't just eat someone else's snacks. That's very greedy and unhealthy. You have to eat your own snacks. I brought some for you. They are in the car. They are fruits and nuts and cheese. They are good for you. They will make you strong and smart. Do you understand?" he said.

Sam and Lily nodded. They felt sorry. They did not mean to be bad. They just wanted to have fun. They learned their lesson. They said sorry to the owner of the yacht. He was still angry, but he forgave them. He gave them some water and told them to go away.

Sam and Lily went to the car with dad. They ate their own snacks. They tasted fresh and yummy. They liked them too. They thanked dad for the snacks. They told him they loved him. He told them he loved them too. He also told them they were grounded. They could not go on any more adventures for a week. They accepted their punishment. They knew they deserved it. They decided to be good and listen to dad from now on. They also decided to never go on a yacht again.
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside with her toys. One day, she saw a big gorilla in the distant trees. She ran to tell her mom.

"Mommy, mommy, I saw a gorilla!" Lily said.

"A gorilla? Are you sure?" her mom asked.

"Yes, yes! It was big and scary," Lily replied.

Ben felt sad and angry. He did not like Lily anymore. He threw his plastic toys on the ground and said, "I quit! I don't want to play with you anymore. You are not a good friend. You are mean and selfish. Your plastic toys are not useful. They are boring and stupid."

"Can I have another slice?" Lily asked.

"Me too," Ben said.

"Wow, look at that bird!" Sara said. "It is so big and tall!"

"It is an ostrich," mom said. "It can run very fast, but it cannot fly."

"Why not?" Ben asked.

"Because its wings are too small and its body is too heavy," mom said. "But it can use its wings to help it balance and steer when it runs."

"Can we feed it?" Sara asked.

"Sure, we can buy some seeds from the vending machine," mom said. "But be careful, it might peck your hand."

They bought some seeds and walked to the fence where the ostrich was. The ostrich saw them and came closer, curious and hungry. Sara and Ben held out their hands with some seeds and the ostrich ate them gently.

"Hello, ostrich," Sara said. "You are very nice."

The ostrich made a low sound and nodded its head. It seemed to like them.

"Can we pet it?" Ben asked.

"Only if it lets you," mom said. "But don't touch its head or its beak, it might get scared or angry."

Sara and Ben reached out their hands slowly and stroked the ostrich's neck and back. The ostrich closed its eyes and enjoyed the touch.

"You are very soft," Ben said.

The ostrich opened its eyes and looked at them. It seemed to smile.

"Can we sit on it?" Sara asked.

Mom laughed. "No, you can't," she said. "It is not a horse, it is a bird. And it is an ancient bird, too. It has been around for a long time, even before the dinosaurs."

"Really?" Sara and Ben said. "That is amazing!"

"Yes, it is," mom said. "But it is also very tired. It needs to rest and sleep. Let's leave it alone and say goodbye."

Sara and Ben waved their hands and said goodbye to the ostrich. The ostrich waved its wings and said goodbye to them. They walked away, happy and curious.

"Maybe we can see it again next time," Sara said.

"Maybe we can," Ben said. "But we can't sit on it."

They laughed and hugged each other. They had made a new friend.

"No, Lila, stop! You will drop them and they will smash. Mom will be angry," Ben says. He tries to take the bulb from Lila, but she holds it tight.

"Let go, Ben! It is my bulb. I want to play with it," Lila says. She pulls the bulb away from Ben, but it slips from her hand and falls on the floor. It makes a loud noise and breaks into many pieces.

After a while, Anna's mom said it was time to go home. Anna said goodbye to Ben and asked for Rudy back. Ben hugged Rudy and said, "Thank you for lending me Rudy. He is the best toy reindeer ever. I had a lot of fun with him. Can I see him again?"

Anna smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you liked him. He is my best friend. You can see him again if you come to the park tomorrow. Maybe we can play together again."

Ben nodded and said, "OK, I will come to the park tomorrow. I hope to see you and Rudy then. Bye, Anna. Bye, Rudy."

Anna and Rudy waved goodbye to Ben. They went home with Anna's mom. Anna was happy. She had made a new friend and shared her toy reindeer. She thought Rudy was very brave and generous. She gave him a big hug and a kiss. She said, "I love you, Rudy. You are the best toy reindeer ever."
Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with bricks. They build houses, towers and cars with bricks. They have many bricks of different colors.

One day, they see a big truck outside their house. The truck has many bricks on it. The truck driver is very busy. He has to deliver the bricks to different places. He puts some bricks on a cart and pushes it to the next house.

Tom and Sam are curious. They want to see the bricks on the truck. They run to the truck and climb on it. They touch the bricks and try to move them. But the bricks are heavy and hard. Tom and Sam are clumsy. They drop some bricks on the ground. The bricks make a loud noise.

The truck driver hears the noise. He turns around and sees Tom and Sam on the truck. He is angry. He shouts at them. "Hey, you two! Get off my truck! You are making a mess! You are not supposed to play with my bricks! They are not toys!"

Tom and Sam are scared. They jump off the truck and run back to their house. They say sorry to the truck driver. They do not play with bricks anymore. They play with their own toys. They learn to be careful and respectful.
Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the bathtub. They liked to make them zoom and splash in the water. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car.

"Look, Lily, I can attach this soap to my car. Now it has a big bubble on it!" Ben said, showing his car to his sister.

"That's silly, Ben. Soap is for washing, not for playing. Give me the soap, please," Lily said, reaching for the soap.

"No, it's mine. I found it first. You have your own soap," Ben said, holding the soap tightly.

Lily and Ben started to tug on the soap. They both wanted it for their cars. They did not notice that the soap was getting slippery and wet.

Suddenly, the soap slipped out of their hands and flew across the bathtub. It hit the wall and broke into pieces. Lily and Ben gasped.

"Oh no, the soap is gone. Now we can't wash or play," Lily said, looking at the soap bits.

"Sorry, Lily. I should have shared the soap with you. It was not nice to attach it to my car," Ben said, feeling sorry.

"It's okay, Ben. I should have been more patient with you. It was not nice to take the soap from you," Lily said, feeling sorry too.

Lily and Ben hugged each other. They decided to play with their cars without the soap. They still had fun in the bathtub. They learned to share and be patient with each other.
Lily and Ben like to play golf with their dad. They have small clubs and balls that fit in their hands. They go to the park and find a spot with grass and holes. Dad shows them how to kneel and swing the club. Lily and Ben try to hit the ball into the hole.

Lily is good at golf. She hits the ball hard and straight. She gets the ball in the hole in one or two tries. She is happy and proud. She says, "Look, dad, I am the best!"

Ben is not so good at golf. He hits the ball soft and crooked. He misses the hole many times. He is sad and angry. He says, "This is not fair, Lily, you always win!"

Lily and Ben start to fight. They yell and push each other. They do not share the clubs and balls. They do not have fun. Dad is not happy. He says, "Stop, Lily and Ben, this is not how you play golf. You have to be kind and fair. You have to take turns and help each other. You have to say good job and sorry. That is how you play golf and have fun."

Lily and Ben listen to dad. They feel sorry for fighting. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They share the clubs and balls. They take turns and help each other. They say good job and sorry. They play golf and have fun. Dad is happy. He says, "Well done, Lily and Ben, you are the best!"
Anna liked to play in the attic. It was full of old things that belonged to her grandma and grandpa. She liked to dress up in the hats and coats and pretend she was a princess or a spy. Sometimes she found toys and books that made her happy.

One day, she was playing in the attic when she heard a noise. It sounded like a growl or a roar. She was scared. She looked around and saw a big trunk in the corner. She had never opened it before. She wondered what was inside. Maybe it was a treasure or a secret.

She walked slowly to the trunk and lifted the lid. She saw a lot of fur and eyes and teeth. It was a lion! The lion jumped out of the trunk and roared at her. Anna screamed and ran to the door. She tried to turn the knob, but it was stuck. She was trapped in the attic with the lion!

"Help! Help!" she cried. "There's a lion in the attic!"

Her mom heard her and came to the attic. She saw the lion and was shocked. She grabbed a broom and hit the lion on the head. The lion fell down and stopped moving. Anna hugged her mom and thanked her.

"It's okay, sweetie. You're safe now," her mom said. "But how did a lion get in the attic?"

Anna looked at the trunk and saw a label. It said: "To Anna, from Grandpa. Happy birthday. P.S. Don't open until you're older. It's a surprise."

Anna realized that her grandpa had sent her a stuffed lion as a gift, but she had opened it too soon. She felt sorry for ruining the surprise. She also felt sorry for the lion. She hoped it was not hurt.

She said to her mom, "I'm sorry, mom. I was busy playing and I opened the trunk. I didn't know it was a lion. I thought it was a treasure or a secret."

Her mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Anna. I'm glad you're okay. And I'm sure Grandpa will understand. He loves you very much. And so do I. Come on, let's go downstairs and have some cake. You can play with the lion later, when it wakes up."
Tom is a farmer. He has a big farm with many animals and plants. He likes to take care of them and give them food and water.

But one day, the sky is very blue and there are no clouds. Tom looks at his plants and sees that they are dry and brown. He looks at his animals and sees that they are thirsty and sad. He worries a lot. He says, "Oh no, what can I do? I need rain for my farm!"

He goes to his house and calls his friend Sam. Sam is also a farmer. He lives on another farm, not too far from Tom's. Tom says, "Hello, Sam. How are you? How is your farm?"

Sam says, "Hello, Tom. I am fine, but my farm is not. It is very dry here, too. I have no rain for my plants and animals. I worry a lot, too. What can we do?"

Tom says, "I don't know, Sam. Maybe we can pray for rain. Maybe we can ask for help from other farmers. Maybe we can find some water somewhere."

Sam says, "Yes, maybe we can. But we have to hurry. Our farms need rain soon. Let's hope for the best, Tom. Goodbye for now."

Tom says, "Goodbye, Sam. Thank you for talking to me. I feel a little better. Let's hope for the best, indeed."
Lily liked to write. She had a big book and many pens. She wrote stories and pictures in her book. She wrote about her friends, her toys, and her dreams.

One day, Lily saw a cable on the floor. It was long and black and shiny. She wondered what it was for. She picked it up and looked at it. She saw a plug at one end and a hole at the other. She thought it was a snake.

She wanted to write about the snake. She ran to her book and pens. She put the plug in the hole and the hole in the wall. She thought the snake would be happy. She did not know it was a bad snake.

The snake was not happy. It was angry. It did not like to be in the wall. It made a loud noise and a bright flash. It hurt Lily and her book and her pens. It burned them and broke them.

Lily screamed and cried. She dropped the snake and ran away. She was scared and sad. She did not hear her mom and dad come in. They saw the smoke and the fire and the snake. They saw Lily and her book and her pens. They were shocked and worried.

They called for Lily and tried to help her. But Lily did not hear them. She was deaf. The snake had made her deaf. She could not write anymore. She could not hear anymore. She had no stories and no pictures. She had nothing.
Tom and Lily wanted to go to the beach. They liked to play in the sand and the water. They asked their mom if they could go.

"Okay, but you have to be careful and stay close to me," mom said. "And don't forget your hats and sunscreen."

Tom and Lily put on their hats and sunscreen. They also took a bucket and a shovel. They were very happy.

At the beach, they saw many things. They saw shells, rocks, crabs, and birds. They decided to gather some shells for their bucket. They looked for the prettiest ones.

"Look, Lily, I found a starfish!" Tom said, holding up a pink and spiky shell.

"Wow, Tom, that's so cool!" Lily said. "You are very lucky. Can I see it?"

"Sure, here you go," Tom said, giving Lily the starfish. "But be gentle, it's fragile."

Lily took the starfish and looked at it closely. She saw its tiny eyes and legs. She felt its rough surface. She smiled.

"Thank you, Tom. It's beautiful. Do you want to share it with me?" Lily asked.

"Okay, Lily. We can share it. It's our special shell," Tom said.

They put the starfish in their bucket. They continued to gather more shells. They had a lot of fun at the beach. They loved each other very much.
Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide and swing and run. But they see some dark clouds in the sky. They hear a loud boom. It is a storm.

"Uh-oh, we have to hurry!" Sara says. "We have to go home before the rain comes."

"OK, let's go!" Ben says. They grab their toys and run to their bikes. But Ben's bike has a problem. His tire is flat. He cannot ride it.

"Oh no, what do we do?" Ben says. He is sad and scared.

"Don't worry, Ben. I have an idea." Sara says. She takes out a small bottle from her backpack. It is powder. She says it is magic powder. She sprinkles some on Ben's tire. She says a magic word.

"Pow, pow, pow! Make this tire good, not bad!"

Ben looks at his tire. It is not flat anymore. It is round and full of air. He is happy and amazed.

"Wow, Sara, you are so smart and kind! How did you do that?" Ben says.

"It is a secret. But I will tell you later. Now, let's hurry!" Sara says. They hop on their bikes and pedal fast. They make it home just before the rain starts. They are safe and dry.

They hug each other and smile. They are best friends. They like to play and help each other. They have fun with magic powder.
Lily and Max were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. Lily opened a drawer and found a shiny necklace. She put it on and said, "Look, Max, I found a treasure! I am the pirate queen!"

Max wanted the necklace too. He said, "No, Lily, that is my treasure! I saw it first! Give it to me!" He tried to grab the necklace from Lily, but she pulled it away.

They started to tug and pull on the necklace. It was very strong, but they were stronger. They pulled so hard that the necklace broke. The beads flew everywhere. Some of them hit Lily and Max in the face. It hurt a lot. They both cried.

Mom heard them crying and came to their room. She saw the broken necklace and the beads on the floor. She said, "Oh, no, what happened here? Did you break the necklace?"

Lily and Max nodded. They were sorry. They said, "We were playing pirates and we wanted the necklace. We pulled it and it broke. It hurt us."

Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry you got hurt. But you should not fight over things. The necklace was not a real treasure. It was just a toy. You know what is a real treasure? You are. You are my treasure. And you should share and be kind to each other. That is how you grow to be good pirates and good people."

Lily and Max said, "We're sorry, Mom. We love you. We love each other. We will share and be kind."

Mom smiled and said, "That's good. Now let's clean up this mess and find a band-aid for your boo-boos. And maybe we can find another toy to play with. How about a pirate hat?"

Lily and Max cheered. They said, "Yes, a pirate hat! That sounds fun!"

They helped Mom clean up the beads and put them in the drawer. Then they put on the pirate hat and played together. They did not fight anymore. They were happy.
Sara likes to write. She writes on paper, on the wall, on her toys. She writes her name, her mom's name, her dad's name. She writes big and small, with crayons and markers.

One day, Sara's mom has a meeting. She tells Sara, "I have to go to work and talk to some people. You stay with grandma, okay? Be a good girl and don't write on anything you shouldn't."

Sara nods and hugs her mom. She likes grandma. Grandma gives her cookies and reads her stories. But Sara also likes to write. She looks around the house and sees many things to write on. She sees a table, a chair, a lamp, a book, a pillow, a mirror.

She picks up a marker and starts to write. She writes on the table, on the chair, on the lamp, on the book, on the pillow, on the mirror. She writes her name, her mom's name, her dad's name. She writes big and small, with crayons and markers.

She is having fun, but she is also getting tired. She yawns and rubs her eyes. She hears grandma calling her. "Sara, come here, it's time for a nap."

Sara runs to grandma and shows her what she wrote. She says, "Look, grandma, I write! I write like mom!"

Grandma looks at what Sara wrote and gasps. She sees the table, the chair, the lamp, the book, the pillow, the mirror. She sees Sara's name, her mom's name, her dad's name. She sees big and small, with crayons and markers.

She says, "Oh, Sara, you write very well, but you write on the wrong things. You can't write on grandma's things. You can only write on paper. Mom will be very mad when she sees this. You have to help me clean this up."

Sara feels sorry. She didn't mean to make grandma sad. She says, "I'm sorry, grandma. I just wanted to write like mom. I will help you clean."

Grandma smiles and hugs her. She says, "It's okay, Sara. I know you love to write. But you have to learn where to write and where not to write. Come on, let's get some paper and some wipes. Then we can write and clean together."
Lila wanted to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She found a big blouse in the closet. It was red and shiny and had buttons. She put it on over her shirt and pants. It was too big for her, but she liked how it felt.

She went to the mirror and looked at herself. She smiled and twirled around. She pretended she was a princess going to a party. She said, "Hello, everyone. I am Princess Lila. Do you like my blouse?"

She heard her mom coming up the stairs. She got scared. She did not want her mom to see her wearing her blouse. She thought her mom would be angry. She ran to the closet and tried to take off the blouse. But it was stuck. She could not get it off. She pulled and pulled, but the buttons did not open.

She heard her mom knock on the door. She said, "Lila, can I come in?"

Lila did not know what to do. She hid behind the closet door. She hoped her mom would not find her. She said, "No, mom. I am busy."

Her mom opened the door anyway. She saw the blouse on the floor and the closet door moving. She guessed what Lila was doing. She was not angry. She was amused. She said, "Lila, are you playing dress-up?"

Lila peeked out from behind the closet door. She saw her mom smiling. She felt relieved. She said, "Yes, mom. I am sorry. I wanted to try your blouse. It is so pretty."

Her mom walked over to her and hugged her. She said, "It's okay, Lila. I don't mind. You can play with my clothes sometimes. But you have to be careful. Some of them are not flexible. They can rip or tear if you pull too hard. Next time, ask me to help you with the buttons."

Lila nodded. She said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. Can I keep the blouse?"

Her mom laughed. She said, "No, Lila. The blouse is too big for you. But you can borrow it for a little while. How about we play dress-up together? I have some other clothes you might like."

Lila smiled. She said, "Yes, mom. That sounds fun. I love you, mom."

Her mom said, "I love you too, Lila. Now, let's close the closet and find something else to wear."
Mia and Leo are young friends who like to play in the park. One day, they see a big wheel that can spin very fast. They want to try it, but they are a little scared.

"Can we go on the wheel, Mia?" Leo asks.

"I don't know, Leo. It looks fun, but also scary. What if we fall off?" Mia says.

They watch the wheel spin and spin, and see other children laughing and screaming. They see a man who works at the park. He gives the children some oats to feed the ducks.

"Look, Leo, oats! Do you like oats?" Mia says.

"Yes, I do. Oats are yummy and good for you. Let's go get some!" Leo says.

They run to the man and ask for some oats. He smiles and gives them a handful each. They thank him and go to the pond, where the ducks are waiting.

"Here, duckies, have some oats!" Mia says, throwing some oats into the water.

"Quack, quack, thank you!" the ducks say, eating the oats.

Mia and Leo laugh and feed the ducks. They forget about the wheel for a while. They enjoy the sun and the water and the ducks.

Then, they hear a loud bell. The man says that the wheel is closing soon. He asks if anyone wants to have a last ride.

"Come on, Mia, let's go on the wheel! It will be fun, I promise!" Leo says.

"Are you sure, Leo? It's so high and fast!" Mia says.

"Don't worry, Mia, I will hold your hand. We can do it together!" Leo says.

He takes her hand and leads her to the wheel. They wait in line and get on a seat. They buckle up and hold on tight.

The wheel starts to spin. Mia and Leo feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They see the park and the pond and the ducks from above. They hear the music and the laughter and the screams.

They spin and spin and spin. They are not scared anymore. They are happy and excited.

They spin and spin and spin. They are young and brave and free.
Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They had a big tree house that their dad made for them. They had many toys and games in the tree house, but their favorite thing was the axe. The axe was shiny and sharp, and their dad used it to chop wood. He told them never to touch the axe, because it was very dangerous. But Ben and Sam did not listen. They wanted to pretend to be woodcutters and chop their own wood.

One day, when their dad was away, they sneaked into the shed and took the axe. They carried it to the woods and found a small tree. Ben said, "I will go first. Watch me chop this tree." He swung the axe with all his might, but he missed the tree and hit his foot. He screamed in pain and dropped the axe. Sam ran to him and saw blood on his shoe. He was very scared and did not know what to do.

He tried to help his brother, but Ben was crying too much. He said, "Sam, go get dad. He will know how to fix my foot. Hurry, Sam, hurry!" Sam nodded and ran back to the house. He hoped his dad was home. He ran as fast as he could, but he forgot to take the axe with him. He left it on the ground, near the tree.

A big wolf was hiding in the woods. He smelled the blood and heard the cries. He followed the trail and found the axe and the boy. He licked his lips and smiled. He liked to eat boys, especially when they were hurt and alone. He picked up the axe with his teeth and walked towards the boy. The boy saw him and tried to get up, but he could not. He was too hurt and too scared. He said, "Go away, wolf, go away! You are bad, you are mean, you are not my friend!" But the wolf did not listen. He swung the axe with his head and hit the boy. The boy screamed one last time, and then he was quiet. The wolf ate him up. He was very happy. He thought the boy was rare and tasty. He did not care about the axe. He left it on the ground, near the bones.

When Sam got to the house, he saw his dad. He was very happy. He said, "Dad, dad, come quick! Ben is hurt, he needs your help! He chopped his foot with the axe, and there is blood everywhere!" His dad was very angry and very worried. He said, "What? What did you say? You took the axe? You played with the axe? How could you do that? I told you never to touch the axe! It is very dangerous! Where is Ben? Where is the axe?" He grabbed Sam's hand and ran to the woods. He hoped Ben was okay. He hoped he was not too late. He hoped the axe was still there. He hoped there was no wolf. He hoped, he hoped, he hoped. But he was too late. He saw the axe, he saw the bones, he saw the wolf. He was very sad and very sorry. He said, "Ben, Ben, my son, my son. Why did you not listen? Why did you not remind your brother? Why did you not take the axe? Why did you not run away? Why, why, why?" He cried and cried. He hugged Sam and said, "I love you, Sam, I love you. But you were very bad, very bad. You will never play with the axe again. You will never play in the woods again. You will never see your brother again. You will never forget this day. This day, this day, this day." He cried and cried. Sam cried and cried. The wolf laughed and laughed. The end.
Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They were rich, so they had a big garden with many flowers and trees.

One day, they saw a fox in the garden. The fox was hungry and sneaky. He wanted to eat the twins' ball, because it looked like a big apple. He hid behind a bush and waited for the right moment.

"Let's play catch with the ball!" said Lily to Ben. "OK!" said Ben. They threw the ball to each other, laughing and having fun. They did not see the fox.

The fox saw his chance. He ran out of the bush and jumped on the ball. He bit it hard and tried to pull it away. The ball popped and made a loud noise. The twins were scared and angry.

"Hey, that's our ball!" shouted Lily. "You are a bad fox! You destroyed our ball!" shouted Ben. They ran after the fox, but he was too fast. He ran away with the ball in his mouth, leaving behind a trail of air and rubber.

The twins cried and hugged each other. They were sad and had no ball to play with. They wished they had never seen the fox. The fox was happy and had a new toy to play with. He wished he could find more balls like that.
Lily and Ben are playing with colorful blocks. They like to build towers and houses with them. They have a lot of fun together.

But then, Lily sees that Ben has more blocks than her. She wants some of his blocks. She says, "Give me some of your blocks, Ben. You have too many."

Ben says, "No, Lily. These are my blocks. I found them first. You have enough blocks."

Lily gets angry. She tries to grab some of Ben's blocks. Ben pulls them back. They start to fight over the blocks. They make a lot of noise.

Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the blocks on the floor and the children fighting. She says, "Stop, Lily and Ben. What are you doing? Why are you fighting?"

Lily and Ben stop fighting. They look at Mom. They feel ashamed. They say, "Sorry, Mom."

Mom says, "You should not fight over the blocks. You should share them. They are for both of you to play with. Fighting is not nice. It can make you lose your friends. Do you want to lose your friends?"

Lily and Ben say, "No, Mom. We don't want to lose our friends. We want to play together."

Mom says, "That's good. Then you should say sorry to each other and make up. And you should clean up the blocks. I will be the judge and see who can make the most colorful tower with the blocks. Do you want to do that?"

Lily and Ben say, "Yes, Mom. We want to do that. We are sorry, Ben. We are sorry, Lily. We are friends again."

Mom smiles. She says, "That's very good. I'm proud of you. Now, let's see who can make the most colorful tower with the blocks. Ready, set, go!"
Ben was a tall boy who liked to eat spaghetti. He ate spaghetti every day for lunch and dinner. He liked to make long noodles with his fork and slurp them up. He also liked to put cheese and sauce on his spaghetti.

One day, Ben came home from school and smelled something yummy. He ran to the kitchen and saw a big pot on the stove. He thought it was spaghetti, but he was wrong. It was soup. His mom had made soup for dinner. Ben did not like soup. He wanted spaghetti.

He looked around the kitchen and saw a box of spaghetti on the counter. He had an idea. He climbed on a chair and reached for the box. He opened it and poured some spaghetti into the pot of soup. He stirred it with a spoon and smiled. He thought he had made spaghetti soup.

But he had made a big mess. The spaghetti was too much for the pot. It boiled over and spilled on the stove and the floor. The soup was ruined. His mom came into the kitchen and saw what Ben had done. She was not happy. She told Ben to get down from the chair and help her clean up.

Ben was sorry. He did not mean to make a mess. He just wanted spaghetti. He helped his mom wipe the stove and the floor. He said he was sorry and gave her a hug. His mom hugged him back and said it was okay. She said she had some frozen pizza in the freezer. She asked Ben if he wanted pizza for dinner. Ben nodded. He liked pizza too. He hoped there was cheese on it.
Anna and Ben are playing with their toys. Anna has a doll and Ben has a car. They like to make noises and pretend they are going on adventures.

"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast!" Ben says.

"My doll is pretty, she has a dress and a hat!" Anna says.

They look at each other's toys and smile. They are happy to share and play together.

But then, Anna sees something on Ben's car. It is a button. It is shiny and red. Anna likes shiny and red things. She wants the button.

"Can I have your button?" Anna asks Ben.

"No, you can't. It is my button. I need it for my car. It makes the car go beep, beep!" Ben says.

"But I want it. It is so shiny and red. Please, give me your button!" Anna says.

They start to argue. They pull and tug at the button. They are not happy anymore. They are angry and sad.

Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees them fighting over the button. She is not happy either. She takes the button from them.

"Stop fighting, Anna and Ben. The button is not for you. It is for the car. You can't have it. It is not a toy. It is sour. If you put it in your mouth, it will hurt. It is a battery. It has power inside. It is dangerous. Do you understand?" Mom says.

Anna and Ben look at the button. They see it is not shiny and red anymore. It is dirty and black. They do not want it anymore. They are sorry.

"Yes, Mom, we understand. We are sorry. We don't want the button. We want to play with our toys. Can we have our toys back?" Anna and Ben say.

Mom gives them their toys back. She hugs them and kisses them.

"Good. I am glad you understand. The button is not for you. It is for the car. You can play with your toys. But remember to share and be nice to each other. Do you promise?" Mom says.

Anna and Ben nod and smile. They promise. They hug and kiss Mom. They go back to playing with their toys. They make noises and pretend they are going on adventures. They are happy again.
Tom and Lily were playing with chalk on the sidewalk. They liked to draw big pictures of animals and flowers and cars. Tom was drawing a lion with a yellow chalk. Lily was drawing a butterfly with a purple chalk.

"Look at my lion!" Tom said. "He is big and strong and loud. He can scare anyone."

"Look at my butterfly!" Lily said. "She is pretty and gentle and quiet. She can fly anywhere."

Tom and Lily looked at each other's pictures. They did not like them very much.

"Your lion is terrible!" Lily said. "He is too fat and his mane is too short. He looks like a cat."

"Your butterfly is terrible!" Tom said. "She is too small and her wings are too plain. She looks like a moth."

Tom and Lily got angry. They started to erase each other's pictures with their hands. They made a big mess on the sidewalk. They yelled and pushed and pulled.

"Stop it! Stop it!" a voice said. It was Mom. She had seen them from the window. She came out to the sidewalk. She looked at Tom and Lily and their ruined pictures. She was not happy.

"What are you doing?" Mom asked. "Why are you fighting? Why are you destroying your pictures?"

Tom and Lily did not know what to say. They felt bad. They shrugged.

"We don't know," they said.

Mom shook her head. She gave them a hug.

"I know you don't like each other's pictures, but you don't have to be mean," she said. "You can have different opinions, but you have to respect each other. You can also learn from each other. Maybe you can draw a new picture together. A picture of a lion and a butterfly. How about that?"

Tom and Lily thought about it. They nodded.

"Okay," they said.

Mom smiled. She gave them new chalks. She helped them draw a new picture. A picture of a lion and a butterfly. A picture of friendship.
Anna and Ben were twins who liked to help their grandmother. Their grandmother was elderly and had a big garden. She grew many fruits and vegetables in the garden. Anna and Ben liked to pick them and put them in a basket.

One day, their grandmother asked them to pick some apples from the apple tree. Anna and Ben ran to the tree and saw many red and green apples. They climbed on the ladder and reached for the apples. They filled their basket with apples.

But then they saw a big, shiny apple at the top of the tree. Anna and Ben both wanted the apple. They tried to grab it at the same time. They pulled and pulled, but the apple did not yield. They pulled harder and harder, but the apple did not yield. They pulled so hard that they lost their balance and fell off the ladder.

The basket of apples also fell and rolled away. The apples spilled out and rolled all over the garden. Anna and Ben cried and cried. They had hurt themselves and lost their apples.

Their grandmother heard their cries and came to see what happened. She saw Anna and Ben on the ground and the apples everywhere. She hugged them and kissed them and said, "Don't cry, my dears. You are more important than any apple. You are both very brave and kind, but you need to learn to share and yield. Sometimes, it is better to give up something than to fight over it. There are plenty of apples for everyone. Come, let's pick them up and put them back in the basket. Then we can go inside and make some apple pie."
Ben and Lily are playing in the sandbox. They have a bucket, a shovel and a cup. They make a big hill with the sand. They dig a hole on top of the hill.

"Look, Lily, we have a volcano!" Ben says.

"Wow, Ben, it is very big and wide!" Lily says.

They want to make the volcano erupt. They look for something to pour into the hole. They see a puddle of dirty water near the fence. They run to the puddle with the cup.

"Let's pour this water into the volcano!" Ben says.

"OK, Ben, but be careful, the water is dirty!" Lily says.

They fill the cup with the dirty water. They run back to the sandbox. They pour the water into the hole. The water makes the sand wet and soft. The sand slides down the hill. The volcano erupts.

"Wow, look, Lily, the volcano is erupting!" Ben says.

"Wow, Ben, it is so cool and fun!" Lily says.

They clap and laugh. They pour more water into the volcano. They make more eruptions. They have a lot of fun. They do not mind the dirty water. They are happy.
Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a wallet on the bench. It is brown and shiny. It has a lot of money inside.

"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He picks up the wallet and opens it. "We can buy a lot of candy with this!"

"No, Tom, that is not ours," Sam says. He is older and smarter than Tom. "We have to give it back to the owner. Maybe he is looking for it."

"But I want it!" Tom says. He is ignorant and greedy. He does not care about the owner. He runs away with the wallet.

"Tom, come back!" Sam says. He chases after Tom. He is angry and worried. He does not want Tom to get in trouble.

They run across the park. They do not see the big dog. The dog is hungry and curious. He sees the wallet in Tom's hand. He thinks it is a toy. He barks and jumps at Tom.

"Help, help!" Tom says. He is scared and sorry. He drops the wallet and falls to the ground. The dog grabs the wallet and runs away.

"Are you okay, Tom?" Sam says. He gathers Tom in his arms. He is relieved and kind. He hugs Tom and helps him up.

"I'm sorry, Sam," Tom says. He is ashamed and sad. He realizes he was wrong. He hugs Sam and says, "You were right. We should have given the wallet back. Now we lost it and the dog has it."

"It's okay, Tom," Sam says. He is forgiving and wise. He says, "Maybe the dog will drop it somewhere and the owner will find it. Or maybe someone else will find it and give it back. The important thing is that you are safe and you learned your lesson."

They walk back to the bench. They see their mom waiting for them. She is happy and proud. She says, "There you are, my boys. Did you have fun in the park?"

"Yes, mom," Tom and Sam say. They smile and nod. They do not tell her about the wallet. They keep it as a secret. They learned their lesson. They will never be ignorant and greedy again.
Lily liked to help her mom in the garden. She watered the plants and pulled out the weeds. She was very happy when she saw the cauliflower grow big and white. She wanted to pick one and eat it.

But her mom said, "No, Lily, not yet. We have to wait until they are ready. Then we can supply them to the market and get some money. We can buy more seeds and food and toys."

Lily nodded, but she still wanted to taste the cauliflower. She thought they looked like fluffy clouds. She wondered if they were soft and sweet.

One day, she saw a fat rabbit hop into the garden. It had long ears and a fluffy tail. It looked very cute, but it also looked very hungry. It went straight to the cauliflower and started to nibble on it.

Lily was angry. She shouted, "Hey, rabbit, stop! That is our cauliflower! You are not allowed to eat it!"

The rabbit looked at her with big eyes. It did not stop. It ate faster and faster. It ate the whole cauliflower and then hopped away.

Lily ran to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom was sad, but she hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. We still have more cauliflower. And maybe the rabbit was very hungry and needed it more than us. Next time, we will put a fence around the garden to keep the rabbits out."

Lily felt sorry for the rabbit, but she also felt sorry for the cauliflower. She hoped the rabbit would not come back and eat more. She hoped the cauliflower would grow back soon. She still wanted to try one.
Tom and Mia liked to go to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. But their favorite animal was the gorilla. The gorilla was big and strong, and he liked to play with his friends.

One day, the zoo had a special event. They invited some children to meet the gorilla and learn more about him. Tom and Mia were very excited. They wanted to see the gorilla up close and maybe even touch him.

Mom signed them up for the event and took them to the gorilla's enclosure. There, they met a nice lady who worked at the zoo. She told them her name was Anna and she was the gorilla's keeper. She said she would show them how to be friends with the gorilla.

Anna said the gorilla's name was Sam and he was very smart and gentle. But she also said he was very shy and sometimes scared of new people. She said they had to be very quiet and calm when they approached him. She said they had to let him come to them and not try to grab him or hug him. She said they had to respect his space and his feelings.

Anna said she would recommend some things they could do to make Sam feel more comfortable. She said they could offer him some fruits or nuts, or show him some toys or books. She said they could copy his gestures or sounds, or make funny faces or noises. She said they could smile and wave, or nod and blink.

Tom and Mia listened carefully and nodded. They wanted to be nice to Sam and make him happy. They followed Anna to the gate and waited for her to open it. They saw Sam sitting on a rock, watching them with curiosity. They felt a little nervous, but also very curious. They wondered what Sam would do. They hoped he would like them. They smiled and waved, and said hello.
Lily was a big girl. She went to school with her friends. She liked to learn new things and play with toys. She had a nice teacher who helped her and gave her stickers.

One day, Lily heard a loud sound. It was the ring. The ring told them it was time to go to the classroom. Lily and her friends stopped playing and ran to the door. They lined up and waited for the teacher.

"Good morning, children!" the teacher said. "Are you ready to learn today?"

"Yes, teacher!" Lily and her friends said.

They went to the classroom and sat on the rug. The teacher showed them a book with pictures and words. She read the book to them and asked them questions. Lily liked the book. It was about a dog who had a fine hat.

"What do you think of the dog's hat?" the teacher asked.

"I think it is fine!" Lily said. "It is red and big and has a flower on it. The dog looks happy."

"Very good, Lily!" the teacher said. "You are a smart girl. You can have a sticker."

Lily smiled and took the sticker. She put it on her shirt. She was proud of herself. She liked school and the ring and the classroom and the book and the teacher and the sticker. She had a fine day.
Lily liked to play with her flute. She made sounds with it and danced around. She felt happy when she played with her flute.

One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy with a drum. He was making sounds with it and dancing around. He looked happy too.

Lily wanted to meet the boy. She walked to him and said, "Hi, I am Lily. I like your drum. Can I play with you?"

The boy smiled and said, "Hi, I am Ben. I like your flute. Yes, you can play with me."

They played together and made music. They took turns with the flute and the drum. They had fun and became friends.

But then, Lily's mom said, "Lily, it is time to go home. Say bye to your friend."

Lily felt sad. She did not want to leave. She hugged Ben and said, "Bye, Ben. You are my friend. Can I see you again?"

Ben hugged her back and said, "Bye, Lily. You are my friend too. Yes, you can see me again. I come to the park every day. Do you?"

Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I do. I will bring my flute. You bring your drum. We can play more music."

They smiled and waved to each other. Lily and Ben were happy. They had met a new friend.
Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys, but sometimes they fight. They fight over who gets the big car, or the pink doll, or the shiny ball. Mommy does not like it when they fight. She says fighting is bad and they should share.

One day, Anna and Ben are playing in their room. Anna has the big car and Ben has the pink doll. They are happy and quiet. But then, Ben sees the shiny ball on the shelf. He wants the shiny ball. He puts the pink doll down and reaches for the ball. Anna sees him and gets angry. She wants the shiny ball too. She drops the big car and runs to the shelf. She grabs the ball before Ben can get it.

"Hey, that's mine!" Ben shouts.

"No, it's mine!" Anna shouts back.

They pull and tug on the ball. They start to fight. They yell and cry and kick. Mommy hears them and comes to their room. She sees them fighting and gets sad.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Mommy says. "Why are you fighting? You have so many toys. You don't need to fight over one ball. Fighting is not nice. Fighting hurts. Fighting makes you unhappy. Do you want to be unhappy?"

Anna and Ben stop fighting. They look at Mommy. They look at the ball. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They don't want to be unhappy. They don't want to hurt Mommy.

"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna says.

"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says.

They hug each other. They hug Mommy. They give the ball to Mommy.

"Here, Mommy, you can have the ball," Anna says.

"Yes, Mommy, you can play with the ball," Ben says.

Mommy smiles. She is proud of them. She takes the ball and gives them each a kiss.

"Thank you, Anna. Thank you, Ben. You are very sweet. You are very good. You remind me of how much I love you. You are my perfect twins."
Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a bike. They take turns to kick the ball and ride the bike.

One day, they see a man in the park. He is wearing a big hat and a long coat. He has a bag in his hand. He looks around and runs away.

"Who is he?" Tom asks.

"I don't know. Maybe he is bad. Let's race him!" Sam says.

They leave the ball and the bike and run after the man. They are fast and brave. They want to catch the man and see what is in his bag.

But the man is faster. He runs and runs and runs. He does not stop. He does not look back. He goes out of the park and into the street.

Tom and Sam are tired. They cannot run anymore. They stop and pant. They look at each other and smile.

"We tried. We are good racers. Maybe next time we will catch him," Tom says.

"Maybe. But now let's go back and play with the ball and the bike. They are more fun than the man," Sam says.

They hold hands and walk back to the park. They are happy and proud. They are friends.
Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and balls and books. One day, Tim found a new toy in his room. It was a big, red fire truck with lights and sounds. He was very happy and wanted to show Sam.

He ran to Sam's house with his fire truck. He knocked on the door and Sam opened it. Sam saw the fire truck and his eyes became big. He wanted to play with it too.

"Wow, Tim, what a cool fire truck! Can I see it?" Sam asked.

"Sure, Sam, you can see it. But you have to give me something in return. How about your blue bike?" Tim said.

"My blue bike? But I love my blue bike. It was a gift from my dad. Can't I just play with your fire truck for a while?" Sam said.

"No, Sam, you have to replace it. That's the rule. If you want my fire truck, you have to give me your bike. It's a fair trade," Tim said.

Sam was sad. He really wanted to play with the fire truck, but he didn't want to lose his bike. He thought for a moment. Then he had an idea.

"OK, Tim, I'll replace it. But first, let me tell you a joke. It's very funny and unusual. You'll laugh a lot," Sam said.

"OK, Sam, tell me your joke. But make it quick. I want to ride your bike," Tim said.

Sam smiled and said, "What do you get when you cross a fire truck and a bike?"

Tim was curious. He said, "I don't know, Sam. What do you get?"

Sam said, "A fire bike! Ha ha ha!"

Tim didn't laugh. He didn't think it was funny. He said, "That's not a joke, Sam. That's silly. And it doesn't make sense. How can a fire truck and a bike make a fire bike?"

Sam said, "It's a joke, Tim. It's supposed to be silly and unusual. That's what makes it funny. Don't you have a sense of humor?"

Tim said, "No, Sam, I don't. And I don't like your joke. It's stupid. Give me your bike now."

Sam said, "OK, Tim, here's my bike. But you know what? I don't want your fire truck anymore. It's not as cool as I thought. It's just a toy. And you're not a good friend. You're greedy and mean. You don't know how to share or have fun. Goodbye, Tim."

Sam took his bike and rode away. He left the fire truck on the ground. Tim picked up the fire truck and looked at it. He felt lonely and sad. He realized he had made a mistake. He had lost his best friend for a toy. He wished he could take it back. He wished he could say sorry to Sam. He wished he could laugh at his joke. He learned a lesson. He learned that friendship is more important than things. He learned that sharing is caring. He learned that jokes are fun. He hoped Sam would forgive him. He hoped they could be friends again. He hoped he could find his sense of humor.
Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the yard. They have a big box of paint and some wood. They want to make something.

"Let's paint the wood and make a house!" Tom says.

"OK, but what color?" Sam asks.

"Red and blue and green and yellow!" Tom says.

They start to paint the wood with their brushes. They make a lot of mess. They laugh and have fun.

Dad comes out to see what they are doing. He is bald. He has no hair on his head. He sees the paint on the wood and on the grass and on the boys.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Dad asks.

"We are making a house!" Tom and Sam say.

"A house? For who?" Dad asks.

"For you, Dad! You can live in it!" Tom and Sam say.

Dad smiles. He is happy. He hugs the boys.

"Thank you, boys. That is very nice of you. But I think I prefer our real house. Come on, let's go inside and clean up." Dad says.

Tom and Sam follow Dad. They are proud of their house. They think Dad likes it too. They love to paint.
Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun with their friends. Sometimes they see animals, like birds, squirrels and dogs.

One day, they find a shiny rock on the ground. It is smooth and colorful. Sara says it is a mineral. Ben says it is a treasure. They want to keep it. They put it in their pocket.

They go to the slide. It is tall and fast. Sara goes first. She sits on the slide and pushes off. She slides down with a whoosh. She laughs and lands on the grass.

Ben goes next. He sits on the slide and pushes off. But he feels something in his pocket. It is the mineral. It is hard and heavy. It makes him slip. He slides down too fast. He does not laugh. He screams and lands on the dirt.

Sara runs to him. She asks if he is okay. He says he is hurt. He has a scrape on his knee. It is red and sore. He cries and holds the mineral.

Sara hugs him. She says she is sorry. She says they should share the mineral. She says they should be obedient. She says they should listen to their mom. She says their mom told them to be careful on the slide.

Ben nods. He says he is sorry too. He says they should share the mineral. He says they should be obedient. He says they should listen to their mom. He says their mom will help them.

They walk to their mom. They show her the mineral. They tell her what happened. She smiles and kisses them. She says they are good kids. She says the mineral is pretty. She says she will clean their scrape. She says she will put a band-aid on it.

Sara and Ben feel better. They say thank you to their mom. They say they love her. They say they love the mineral. They say they love each other. They hug and smile.
Sam liked to observe things. He liked to watch the birds, the cars, the clouds. He also liked to watch the painter who lived next door. The painter had many colors and brushes and made pictures on big papers. Sam wanted to be a painter too.

One day, Sam asked his mom if he could have some colors and a paper. His mom said yes, but only if he was careful and did not make a mess. She gave him some colors and a paper and put them on the table. Sam was happy. He took a brush and dipped it in a color. He started to make a picture on the paper.

But Sam was stubborn. He did not listen to his mom. He wanted to use all the colors and make a big picture. He dipped his brush in different colors and made strokes and dots and swirls. He did not care if the colors mixed or spilled. He did not care if the paper was too small. He did not care if he got color on his hands, his clothes, his face, or the table.

Soon, Sam's picture was done. He was proud. He wanted to show it to the painter. He picked up his paper and ran to the door. He did not see his mom coming. He bumped into her and dropped his paper. The paper landed on the floor, face down. The colors smeared and smudged. Sam's picture was ruined.

Sam started to cry. His mom was angry. She saw the mess on the table and on Sam. She scolded him for being stubborn and not careful. She told him to go to his room and clean up. Sam was sad. He did not get to show his picture to the painter. He did not get to be a painter. He learned a lesson. He learned to observe, but also to listen.
Ben and Lily were twins who loved pie. One day, their mom baked a big apple pie and put it on the table to cool. She told them not to touch it until after dinner.

But Ben and Lily were very eager to eat the pie. They smelled the sweet and warm apples and saw the golden crust. They thought mom would not notice if they took a small bite.

They waited until mom went to the garden and then sneaked to the table. Ben reached for the pie knife and cut a slice. He gave half to Lily and kept half for himself. They ate the pie quickly and licked their fingers.

But mom came back sooner than they expected. She saw the missing slice and the crumbs on the table. She was angry and sad. She said, "Who ate the pie? I made it for all of us to share. You were not supposed to touch it."

Ben and Lily felt guilty and scared. They looked at each other and did not know what to say. They knew they had done something bad. They had gained a slice of pie, but they had lost mom's trust.
Sam liked to spin. He spun in his room, he spun in the yard, he spun everywhere. He was very enthusiastic about spinning. He thought spinning was fun and made him happy.

One day, he saw a big blue wheel at the park. He wanted to spin on it. He ran to the wheel and climbed on it. He started to spin faster and faster. He laughed and shouted, "I'm spinning, I'm spinning!"

But he spun too fast. He got dizzy and fell off the wheel. He hit his head on the ground. He felt pain and cried. He had a big bump on his head. He was not happy anymore. He did not like spinning anymore. He wished he had not spun on the big blue wheel. He learned that spinning too fast was not fun. It was dangerous and hurtful. He was sad and sorry.
Anna was sad. She fell down and hurt her knee. It was red and sore. She cried and ran to her mom.

"Mom, mom, look at my knee!" she said. "It hurts a lot!"

Mom hugged Anna and kissed her knee. "Don't worry, sweetie. Your knee will heal soon. It's just a little scratch. You are a brave girl."

Mom took a band-aid and put it on Anna's knee. She smiled and said, "There, now it's better. Do you want to see something fun?"

Anna nodded and wiped her tears. Mom took a camera and said, "Let's take a picture of you and your band-aid. You can show it to your friends and tell them how lucky you are."

Anna smiled and posed for the camera. She felt happy and proud. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you."

Mom said, "I love you too, Anna. You are my lucky star." She took the picture and showed it to Anna. They both laughed and hugged. Anna's knee felt much better. She forgot about the pain and enjoyed the rest of the day.
Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big box in the yard. It had a bright red bow on it. They ran to the box and tried to open it.

"Who is it for?" Ben asked.

"I don't know. Maybe it is for us!" Mia said.

They pulled and tugged at the bow, but it was too tight. They could not unwrap the box.

"Let's ask Mom," Ben said.

They ran inside the house and found Mom in the kitchen. She was making cookies.

"Mom, Mom, there is a big box outside. Can we open it?" Mia asked.

Mom smiled and said, "That box is a surprise for your grandma. She lives far away, in the east. We are going to send it to her for her birthday."

Ben and Mia looked sad. They wanted to see what was in the box.

"Can we help you wrap it?" Ben asked.

"Of course, you can. That would be very nice of you," Mom said.

She gave them some paper and tape and scissors. They went back outside and wrapped the box with Mom. They made it look pretty and put a new bow on it.

"Grandma will love it," Mia said.

"Yes, she will. And she will love you, too," Mom said.

She hugged them and said, "You are very good helpers. And you know what? I have another surprise for you. Come inside and see."

They followed Mom inside and saw a plate of cookies on the table.

"Yay, cookies!" Ben and Mia said.

They ate some cookies and smiled. They were happy to help Mom and to make Grandma happy. They were also happy to have cookies. It was a good day.
Lila and Sam love to play at the park. They like to swing, climb and run. But their favorite thing is to slide. They slide on the big slide, the small slide and the twisty slide. They slide fast and slow, up and down, and sometimes together.

One day, they see a new slide at the park. It is very big and very blue. It looks like a lot of fun. Lila and Sam run to the blue slide. But there is a problem. There are many other kids waiting to slide. The blue slide is very popular.

Lila and Sam wait and wait. They are sad and bored. They want to slide on the blue slide. They see some kids slide very fast and scream. They see some kids slide very slow and smile. They see some kids slide with their friends and laugh.

Finally, it is their turn. Lila and Sam climb up the stairs. They sit on the blue slide. They hold hands and look at each other. They are happy and excited. They say, "Ready, set, go!" They slide on the blue slide. They slide very fast and scream. They slide very slow and smile. They slide with their friends and laugh. They slide on the blue slide and have a lot of fun.
Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog. They are very happy. But they are also excited. They are going to visit their grandma and grandpa. They live on the other side of the big park.

Tom and Lily pack their bags. They put in their clothes, their books and their teddy bears. They say goodbye to their dog. They hug their mom and dad. They get in the car. They see the big park. They see the trees, the flowers and the birds. They see the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They want to play there. But they have to wait. They are going to visit their grandma and grandpa.

Tom and Lily arrive at their grandma and grandpa's house. They run to the door. They knock. They hear their grandma and grandpa's voices. They open the door. They see their grandma and grandpa's faces. They smile. They hug them. They say hello. They are very happy. They are going to visit their grandma and grandpa. They love them very much.
Lily and Tom are playing with cubes. They have many cubes of different colors and sizes. Lily likes to sort the cubes by color. She makes a pile of red cubes, a pile of blue cubes, and a pile of yellow cubes. Tom likes to sort the cubes by size. He makes a pile of big cubes, a pile of medium cubes, and a pile of small cubes.

"Look, I sorted the cubes by color," Lily says. "It is fun and pretty."

"Look, I sorted the cubes by size," Tom says. "It is fun and smart."

They look at each other's piles. They do not like them.

"Your piles are stupid," Lily says. "You mixed the colors. That is wrong."

"Your piles are stupid," Tom says. "You mixed the sizes. That is wrong."

They start to argue. They grab each other's cubes and throw them. The cubes fly everywhere. They make a mess.

"Stop it, stop it!" Mom says. She comes into the room and sees the mess. She is not happy. "Why are you fighting? You are supposed to share and play nicely."

"We are sorry, Mom," Lily and Tom say. They feel bad.

"Sorting the cubes is a good idea, but you can do it in different ways," Mom says. "There is no right or wrong way. You can sort by color, by size, by shape, or by anything you want. The important thing is to have fun and respect each other."

Lily and Tom nod. They hug and say sorry to each other. They pick up the cubes and sort them again. This time, they try different ways and show each other. They find out that sorting can be fun and interesting. They are happy. Mom smiles.
Lily liked to observe the birds in her garden. She had a bird feeder on a post that she filled with seeds every day. She learned the names of the different birds and their songs. She also liked to draw them in her notebook.

One day, she saw a new bird on the post. It was very big and had bright colors. It had a long tail and a curved beak. It looked like a rainbow. Lily thought it was incredible. She ran to get her notebook and her crayons.

But when she came back, the bird was gone. She was sad. She looked around the garden, but she could not find it. She wondered where it went and if it would come back. She decided to wait and observe some more.

She sat on the grass and watched the other birds. They were nice, but not as incredible as the rainbow bird. She hoped it would visit again. She drew a picture of it in her notebook and wrote its name. She called it a parrot. She showed it to her mom and dad. They said it was a beautiful drawing and a very special bird.

Lily smiled. She felt lucky to have seen the parrot. She put her notebook in a safe place. She wanted to remember the incredible bird on the post. She hoped to observe it again someday.
Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big pipe on the ground. It was round and shiny and had a hole in it. Lily and Tom wanted to see what was inside the pipe.

Lily was smaller than Tom. She said, "I can fit in the pipe. I will go first." She crawled into the hole and went inside the pipe. It was dark and cold and she could not see anything. She felt scared.

Tom waited for Lily to come out. He said, "Lily, are you okay? Do you see anything?" He did not hear Lily answer. He said, "Lily, where are you? Come out, please." He still did not hear Lily answer. He felt worried.

Tom was bigger than Lily. He said, "I will go in the pipe and find Lily. Maybe she is stuck." He tried to crawl into the hole, but he could not fit. He was too big. He pushed and pushed, but he could not get in. He felt sad.

Then he heard a voice. It was Lily. She said, "Tom, I'm here. I found the other end of the pipe. It leads to the other side of the park. I'm coming out now." Tom saw Lily's head pop out of the hole. She smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was not stuck. I was just curious. Are you mad at me?"

Tom was not mad at Lily. He was happy to see her. He said, "No, I'm not mad at you. I'm glad you are safe. I was scared for you. I love you, Lily." He hugged Lily and said, "You are brave, Lily. But next time, don't go in the pipe without me. Okay?"

Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Tom. I love you, too. You are kind, Tom. Thank you for trying to help me." She hugged Tom and said, "You are my best friend, Tom. I'm grateful for you."
Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the water. One day, they found a big puddle near their house. They ran to the puddle and started to splash each other with water. They laughed and had fun.

But they did not see that the puddle was next to an office. The office was where their dad worked. He was very busy and had many papers on his desk. When Tom and Lily splashed, some water flew into the office and wet the papers. Their dad was very angry and came out of the office.

"Tom! Lily! What are you doing?" he shouted. "You made a big mess in my office! You ruined my papers! How can I work now?"

Tom and Lily were scared and sorry. They did not mean to make their dad angry. They did not know that the puddle was next to his office. They said, "We are sorry, dad. We just wanted to play in the water. We did not see your office."

Their dad sighed and calmed down. He said, "I know you like to play in the water, but you have to be careful where you splash. You have to look around and see if you might hurt someone or something. You have to be respectful of other people's work. Do you understand?"

Tom and Lily nodded and said, "We understand, dad. We will be more careful next time. We will not splash near your office again."

Their dad hugged them and said, "I love you, Tom and Lily. But please, go home and change your clothes. You are wet and cold. And I am dizzy from looking at your wet papers."

Tom and Lily said, "We love you too, dad. We are sorry for making you dizzy. We will go home and change our clothes."

They ran home and changed their clothes. They learned their lesson and never splashed near their dad's office again. They still liked to play in the water, but they found a better place to splash. A place where they did not hurt anyone or anything. A place where they could have fun and be happy.
Lily liked to play with her model cars. She had many of them, in different colors and shapes. She liked to make them go fast on the floor, or park them in a row, or pretend they were talking to each other.

One day, she saw a new model car in the toy store. It was shiny and red, and it had a string that you could pull to make it go. Lily wanted it very much. She asked her mom if she could have it.

"Sorry, Lily, but we don't have enough money for that," her mom said. "Maybe another time."

Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted the car now. She did not listen to her mom. She waited until her mom was looking at something else, and then she grabbed the car and ran out of the store.

"Hey, stop!" the store man shouted. "That's not yours!"

Lily did not stop. She ran as fast as she could, holding the car in her hands. She pulled the string and made the car go on the sidewalk. She thought it was fun and exciting.

But she did not see the big truck that was coming. The truck was very loud and fast, and it did not see Lily either. The truck hit Lily and the car, and made a big crash.

Lily felt a lot of pain. She dropped the car and screamed. Her mom heard her and ran to her. She was very scared and sad.

"Lily, Lily, what have you done?" her mom cried. "You're hurt, and you stole the car!"

Lily wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had not taken the car. She wished she had been good. But it was too late. She had made a big mistake, and now she was in trouble. She was not comfortable at all. She was sorry.
Anna was sad. She missed her grandma, who lived in a distant place. She wanted to see her and hug her and talk to her. But she could not go there, because it was too far and too hard.

One night, she found a shiny lamp in her closet. She wondered what it was. She rubbed it with her hand, and a spirit came out. The spirit was blue and had a big smile.

"Hello, little girl," the spirit said. "I am here to help you. You can make one wish, and I will make it come true."

Anna was surprised and happy. She thought about what she wanted most. She said, "I wish I could see my grandma."

The spirit nodded. "That is a good wish. I can take you to your grandma, but only for a little while. Then you have to come back. Do you agree?"

Anna agreed. She held the spirit's hand, and they flew through the air. They crossed the sky and the clouds, and soon they reached the distant place where her grandma lived.

Anna saw her grandma in her garden, watering the flowers. She ran to her and hugged her. Her grandma was surprised and happy too. She said, "Anna, my darling, how did you come here?"

Anna told her about the spirit and the lamp and the wish. Her grandma smiled and said, "That is a wonderful gift. I am so glad to see you. Let's go inside and have some cookies and milk."

Anna and her grandma had a nice time together. They talked and laughed and played. Anna felt happy and loved. She thanked the spirit for her wish.

But soon, the spirit said, "It is time to go back, Anna. Your wish is over. Say goodbye to your grandma."

Anna was sad again. She did not want to leave her grandma. She hugged her and said, "I love you, grandma. I will miss you."

Her grandma hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Anna. I will miss you too. But we will always be in each other's hearts. And maybe we will see each other again someday."

Anna nodded. She held the spirit's hand again, and they flew back to her home. She put the lamp back in her closet, and went to bed. She dreamed of her grandma and the spirit, and felt a little less sad.
Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big lion that roared when they pressed a button. They took turns to make the lion roar and pretend to be brave hunters.

One day, Tim wanted to play with the lion, but Sam said no. He said it was his turn and he would not share. Tim was frustrated and angry. He tried to grab the lion from Sam, but Sam held it tight. They started to fight and pull the lion.

"Stop it! You are spoiling the lion!" Sam shouted.

"No, you are spoiling it! Give it to me!" Tim shouted back.

They did not hear their mom coming into the room. She saw them fighting and was very upset. She took the lion away from them and put it on a high shelf. She said they could not play with it until they learned to share and be nice.

Tim and Sam were sad and sorry. They looked at the lion on the shelf and wished they had not fought. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They asked their mom if they could have the lion back, but she said they had to wait until tomorrow. They decided to play with their other toys and be good brothers. They hoped the lion was not too lonely on the shelf.
Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. Ben has a motorcycle toy. Sam has a car toy. They make noises and race their toys on the floor.

"Vroom, vroom, vroom!" Ben says. "My motorcycle is faster than your car!"

"No, it's not!" Sam says. "My car is faster than your motorcycle!"

They keep racing their toys. They bump into each other. They get angry.

"Stop it!" Ben says. "You are stupid!"

"No, you are stupid!" Sam says. "You are mean!"

They start to fight. They pull each other's hair. They cry.

Mom hears them. She comes to the room. She sees them fighting. She is not happy.

"Boys, boys, stop!" Mom says. "Why are you fighting?"

"Ben is stupid!" Sam says. "He bumped my car!"

"Sam is stupid!" Ben says. "He bumped my motorcycle!"

Mom shakes her head. She picks up their toys. She puts them on the shelf.

"No more toys for you!" Mom says. "You need to learn to share and be nice. Now, stay in your room and think about what you did!"

Ben and Sam are sad. They sit on their beds. They look at their toys. They wish they could play with them. They are sorry. They hug each other.

"Ben, I'm sorry," Sam says. "Your motorcycle is not stupid. It's cool."

"Sam, I'm sorry," Ben says. "Your car is not stupid. It's fun."

They smile. They say sorry to Mom. Mom smiles. She gives them their toys back. She tells them to play nicely. They nod. They play with their toys. They share and take turns. They are happy.
Ben is a big dog. He likes to run and play with his ball. He is very strong and fast. He helps his dad with work. His dad is a farmer. He has many cows and sheep.

One day, a bad wolf came to the farm. He wanted to eat the sheep. He was sneaky and quiet. He waited for the night. When it was dark, he jumped over the fence and ran to the sheep.

But Ben saw the wolf. He barked loud and ran after him. He was not afraid of the wolf. He wanted to protect the sheep. He caught the wolf by the tail and bit him hard. The wolf yelped and ran away. He was hurt and scared.

Ben was a hero. He saved the sheep. His dad was very proud of him. He gave him a big hug and a treat. The sheep were safe and happy. They thanked Ben with their bleats. Ben wagged his tail and smiled. He loved his work.
Lily liked to visit her grandma every week. Grandma lived in a big house with a piano. Lily loved to play the piano with grandma. She would press the keys and make sounds. Grandma would smile and sing along.

One day, Lily asked grandma, "How do you know how to play the piano so well?"

Grandma replied, "I learned when I was a little girl, like you. My mom taught me how to play. She loved music and she gave me this piano as a gift."

Lily was amazed. She said, "Wow, this piano is very old then. But it still sounds beautiful."

Grandma nodded. She said, "Yes, this piano is very old, but it is also very precious. It has many memories and stories. It is like a friend to me."

Lily hugged grandma. She said, "I love you, grandma. And I love your piano too. Can you teach me how to play?"

Grandma smiled. She said, "Of course, my dear. I would love to teach you how to play. Come, let's sit together and play some songs."
Lila was a restless dog. She liked to run and play and bark all day. She did not like to stay in her house when her owner went to work. She wanted to go with him and see new things.

One day, Lila saw a hole in the fence. She thought it was a good chance to escape. She squeezed through the hole and ran to the street. She saw many cars and people and noises. She was scared and confused. She did not know where to go.

She ran and ran until she came to a park. She saw some children playing with a ball. She thought they were friendly and wanted to join them. She ran to the ball and grabbed it with her teeth. She wagged her tail and barked.

But the children did not like Lila. They screamed and cried and threw stones at her. They said she was a bad dog and a thief. They chased her away from the park. Lila was hurt and sad. She dropped the ball and ran away.

She wandered around the streets, looking for her home. She could not find it. She was hungry and thirsty and tired. She missed her owner and her house. She wished she had not left them. She wept and wept.

She was weeping on a corner when she heard a familiar voice. It was her owner. He had been looking for her all day. He saw her and ran to her. He hugged her and kissed her and said he was sorry. He said he loved her and he was glad he found her.

Lila was happy and relieved. She licked her owner and wagged her tail. She said she was sorry too. She said she loved him and she was glad he found her.

They went back to their home. Lila learned her lesson. She never ran away again. She was still a restless dog, but she was also a loyal and grateful dog. She and her owner lived happily ever after.
Lila was a unique bird. She had many colors on her wings and a long tail. She liked to fly high in the sky and sing to the sun. She did not have many friends, because the other birds thought she was too different.

One day, she saw a big cloud in the sky. It was white and fluffy and looked like a pillow. She wanted to fly to the cloud and touch it. She flew higher and higher, but the cloud was still far away. She did not see the eagle that was watching her.

The eagle was hungry and saw Lila as a tasty snack. He swooped down and tried to catch her with his sharp claws. Lila was scared and tried to fly away. She dodged and weaved, but the eagle was faster and stronger. He was about to grab her, when she saw a hole in the cloud. She flew into the hole and hoped the eagle would not follow.

She was surprised by what she saw inside the cloud. There were many other birds like her, with many colors and long tails. They were singing and playing and having fun. They saw Lila and welcomed her. They said they were the will birds, and they lived in the cloud. They said they were unique and proud of it. They said they liked Lila and wanted to be her friends.

Lila was happy and felt at home. She joined the will birds and sang and played and had fun. She forgot about the eagle and the other birds. She realized that being unique was not bad, but good. She was glad she flew to the cloud and found her new friends.
Anna and Ben are twins. They like to go to the park with Mom. Mom says they can take the subway today. Anna and Ben are happy. They have never been on the subway before.

They walk to the big station. They see many people and trains. Mom buys tickets and holds their hands. They go down the stairs and wait on the platform. Anna and Ben look at the map. They see pictures of animals and colors. Mom says they are going to the zoo.

Soon, a loud train comes. It stops and opens its doors. Mom says, "Come on, let's get in." Anna and Ben follow Mom. They find seats and sit down. The train starts to move. Anna and Ben look out the window. They see tunnels and lights. They hear noises and voices.

"Mom, this is fun!" Anna says.

"Yes, it is," Mom says. "We will be at the zoo soon."

But then, something bad happens. The train stops in the middle of the tunnel. The lights go off. The noises stop. The train is very dark and quiet. Anna and Ben are scared.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Ben asks.

"I don't know, honey," Mom says. "Maybe there is a problem with the train. Don't worry, they will fix it soon."

Anna and Ben hug Mom. They wait and wait. They hear people talking and shouting. They feel hot and bored. They want to get out of the train.

"Mom, I don't like the subway," Anna says.

"Me neither," Ben says. "It's terrible."

Mom says, "I'm sorry, sweeties. I didn't know this would happen. I hope we can get out soon."

Anna and Ben realize that the subway is not fun. They wish they had walked to the park instead. They hope they can still see the animals at the zoo. They hope the train will start again. They hope they will be okay.
Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big, fancy wallet on the grass. It was shiny and had many colors.

"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. "It is so pretty. Maybe it has money inside."

She opened the wallet and saw a lot of paper and coins. She took some and showed them to Ben.

"Look, Ben, we are rich!" she said. "We can buy anything we want."

Ben was curious. He wanted to see the wallet too. He took it from Lily and opened it. But he saw something else. He saw a tiny seed.

"Hey, what is this?" he said. "It is not money. It is a seed. Maybe we can plant it and it will grow."

He put the seed in a pot and watered it. He waited for it to grow. Lily was bored. She wanted to play with the money.

"Ben, come on, let's go buy some toys and candy," she said. "We don't need the seed. It is boring."

But Ben did not listen. He liked the seed. He wanted to see what it would grow into. He waited and waited. And then he saw something amazing. The seed sprouted and grew into a beautiful flower. It had many petals and smelled nice.

"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. "It is so pretty. It is a flower. Maybe it is a magic flower."

He picked the flower and showed it to Lily. Lily was surprised. She forgot about the money. She wanted the flower.

"Wow, Ben, it is so pretty," she said. "Can I have it? Please?"

Ben smiled. He gave the flower to Lily. He did not need the money. He had a friend.

They hugged and played with the flower. They did not notice that the wallet was gone. A bird had taken it and flew away.
Anna and Ben were adventurous twins who liked to explore the woods behind their house. They always took their dog, Spot, with them. One day, they found a big cave that they had never seen before. They wanted to see what was inside.

"Let's go in, Ben!" Anna said. "Maybe we can find treasure or animals."

"I don't know, Anna," Ben said. "It looks dark and scary. What if there are monsters or ghosts?"

"Don't be silly, Ben. There are no such things as monsters or ghosts. They are only in stories. And we have Spot to protect us. Come on, it will be fun!"

Anna grabbed Ben's hand and pulled him into the cave. Spot followed them, wagging his tail. They used a flashlight to see where they were going. The cave was big and cold and had many rocks and tunnels. They heard strange noises and saw shadows on the walls.

"Anna, I don't like this," Ben said. "I want to go back. I'm worried we might get lost or hurt."

"Don't worry, Ben. We'll be fine. We just have to follow our flashlight and Spot. He knows the way back. Look, there's a big hole over there. Maybe it leads to another part of the cave. Let's check it out!"

Anna ran towards the hole, but Ben stayed behind. He was too scared to follow her. He heard Anna scream and then saw a bright light coming from the hole. He wondered what had happened to her.

"Anna! Anna! Are you okay?" Ben shouted.

He heard Anna's voice, but it sounded different. It sounded happy and excited.

"Ben! Ben! Come here! You have to see this! It's amazing!"

Ben was curious, but also nervous. He slowly walked towards the hole and looked inside. He gasped when he saw what was there. It was a beautiful garden full of flowers and trees and animals. The sun was shining and the birds were singing. And there was Anna, smiling and laughing, with a sparkling spirit next to her. The spirit was a girl with wings and a dress made of light. She looked friendly and kind.

"Ben, this is Lily. She's a fairy. She lives here in the garden. She's the one who made the light. She's my new friend. And she wants to be your friend too. Come on, Ben. Don't be afraid. She won't hurt you. She's nice. She wants to show us her home and play with us."

Anna reached out her hand to Ben. Ben looked at her, then at Lily, then at the garden. He felt a warm feeling in his chest. He decided to be brave and join his sister. He took her hand and stepped into the hole. Spot followed them, barking happily. Lily smiled and welcomed them. She said she was glad they were adventurous and found her cave. She said she was lonely and wanted to have friends. She said she had many things to show them and teach them. She said they could stay as long as they wanted.

Ben and Anna forgot their worries and had a wonderful time in the garden with Lily and Spot. They played and learned and laughed and had fun. They felt happy and free and loved. They felt like they had found a magic place. And they had.
Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with a ball in the park. One day, they see a big road near the park. The road has many cars and trucks. Lila and Ben want to cross the road to get to the other side.

They wait for the cars and trucks to stop. Then they hold hands and run across the road. But they are not careful. They do not see a bike coming fast. The bike hits Lila and Ben. They fall down and drop the ball. The ball rolls away on the road.

Lila and Ben are hurt. They cry and scream. The bike rider is also hurt. He is angry and scared. He shouts at Lila and Ben. He says they are stupid and naughty. He says they broke his bike. His bike is delicate and expensive.

A lady sees what happened. She calls for help. She tries to calm down Lila and Ben and the bike rider. She says they are lucky to be alive. She says the road is dangerous and they should never play there. She says they should listen to their parents and teachers.

Lila and Ben are sorry. They wish they did not cross the road. They wish they did not kick the ball so hard. They wish they did not hurt the bike rider and his bike. They wish they could go back to the park and play. But they cannot. They have to go to the hospital and the police station. They have to face the consequences of their actions. They have learned a hard lesson. The end.
Lisa loved to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Molly. Molly had long hair, a pink dress and shiny shoes. Lisa liked to brush Molly's hair and talk to her.

One day, Lisa's mom came home with a big bag. She said, "Look, Lisa, I have a surprise for you!" Lisa was excited. She hoped it was a new toy or a book. She ran to her mom and opened the bag.

Inside the bag, there was a doll. But it was not a doll like Molly. It was a doll that looked like a baby. It had a bald head, a diaper and a bottle. Lisa did not like the baby doll. She said, "Mom, I don't want this doll. It is ugly and boring. I want Molly."

Mom said, "But Lisa, this is a very expensive doll. It can cry and laugh and move its eyes. It is a special doll. You should be happy and thankful."

Lisa did not care. She ignored her mom and the baby doll. She grabbed Molly and ran to her room. She slammed the door and said, "Molly, you are my only doll. I love you. You are the best."

Mom was sad. She did not understand why Lisa did not like the baby doll. She thought Lisa would enjoy having a new friend. She decided to try again later.

She went to the kitchen and made a snack for Lisa. She cut some prunes and cheese and put them on a plate. She poured some juice in a cup. She knocked on Lisa's door and said, "Lisa, I have a snack for you. Do you want to come and eat?"

Lisa did not answer. She ignored her mom and the snack. She hugged Molly and said, "Molly, you are my only snack. I love you. You are the best."
Lily loved her puppy very much. She named him Spot because he had a big black spot on his back. Spot was a rare puppy. He was part of a special breed that could do tricks and learn words. Lily's mom and dad gave him to her for her birthday.

One day, Lily wanted to take Spot to the park. She put on her coat and shoes and grabbed Spot's leash. She ran to the door and called out, "Mom, Dad, can I go to the park with Spot?"

Mom and Dad looked at each other. They were busy with work and chores. They did not have time to go with Lily. "Sorry, honey, not today," Mom said. "Maybe tomorrow."

Lily felt sad. She really wanted to play with Spot outside. She looked at Spot and saw that he was sad too. He wagged his tail and licked her face. He wanted to go to the park as well.

Lily decided to try again. She said, "Please, Mom, Dad, can I go to the park with Spot? He is a good puppy. He will not run away or bark at people. He will do tricks and make us happy. Please, please, please!"

Lily insisted so much that Mom and Dad could not say no. They saw how much Lily and Spot loved each other. They smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you can go to the park with Spot. But you have to be careful and stay close to us. And you have to come back before it gets dark. Do you understand?"

Lily nodded and hugged Mom and Dad. She said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are the best Mom and Dad ever! Come on, Spot, let's go to the park!"

Lily and Spot ran to the park with Mom and Dad. They had a lot of fun. They played fetch, they slid down the slide, they swung on the swings, they met other kids and dogs. Spot did tricks and learned new words. He was a rare puppy indeed. Lily was very happy. She said, "This is the best day ever!"
Anna likes to read stories. She has many books with stories. Some stories are about animals, some are about people, some are about magic. Anna likes all kinds of stories.

One day, Anna finds a new book in her room. It is very big and heavy. She tries to lift it, but it is too hard. She asks her mom, "What is this book, mom?"

Her mom says, "This is a rare book, Anna. It is very old and has many stories inside. It is from your grandma. She gave it to me when I was little, and now I give it to you."

Anna is curious. She wants to read the stories in the rare book. She asks her mom, "Can you read me a story, mom?"

Her mom says, "Of course, Anna. Let's go to the couch. We can read together. But first, we need to weigh the book. It is so heavy, I wonder how much it weighs."

They go to the kitchen and put the book on the scale. The scale shows a big number. Anna does not know what it means, but her mom says, "Wow, this book weighs ten pounds. That is a lot of stories."

They go to the couch and sit down. Her mom opens the book and reads a story to Anna. It is a story about a princess and a dragon. Anna likes the story. She likes the rare book. She says, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, grandma. I love this book."
Lily was a wealthy girl who had many toys and dresses and books. She liked to play with her friends and share her things with them. But she was not happy, because she had no one to love her. Her parents were always busy and never hugged her or read her stories. She felt lonely and sad.

One night, she heard a loud noise under her bed. She was scared and looked under the blanket. She saw a big monster with green fur and yellow eyes. The monster growled and showed its teeth. Lily screamed and wept. She wanted her parents to come and save her.

But the monster did not want to hurt her. It was also lonely and sad. It had run away from its home, where it was treated badly by other monsters. It had no friends and no toys and no books. It had wandered into Lily's house, looking for a place to sleep. It saw Lily's bed and crawled under it. It did not know that Lily was there.

When the monster heard Lily's scream and weep, it felt sorry for her. It did not want to make her cry. It wanted to be her friend. It said in a soft voice, "Don't be afraid. I am not mean. I am just like you. I want someone to love me."

Lily stopped weeping and looked at the monster. She saw that it was not mean, but sad. She felt sorry for it too. She said in a brave voice, "I am not afraid. I am just like you. I want someone to love me too."

Then Lily and the monster smiled at each other. They hugged and became friends. They played with Lily's toys and dresses and books. They told each other stories and laughed. They were not lonely and sad anymore. They were happy and loved.
Lily and Ben were having lunch with Mom. They had pasta and sauce. Lily liked sauce a lot. She wanted more sauce on her pasta. She saw a big bottle of sauce on the table. She was curious. She reached for the bottle.

"Can I have more sauce, Mom?" she asked.

"Sure, honey, but be careful. The bottle is full and heavy. Do you need help?" Mom said.

Lily shook her head. She wanted to do it by herself. She grabbed the bottle with both hands. She tried to pour some sauce on her pasta. But the sauce did not come out. She squeezed the bottle harder. She squeezed and squeezed.

Suddenly, the sauce came out. But it came out too fast and too much. It splashed all over Lily, Ben, Mom, and the table. Lily and Ben gasped. Mom laughed.

"Oh, Lily, what a mess! You squeezed the bottle too hard. Look at all the sauce!" Mom said.

Lily looked at herself. She was covered in sauce. She felt sticky and wet. She felt silly and sorry. She did not like sauce so much anymore.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted more sauce. I was curious," she said.

"It's okay, Lily. I know you were curious. But next time, ask for help or use a spoon. Curious is good, but careful is better. Now let's clean up and have some dessert. How about some ice cream?" Mom said.

Lily and Ben smiled. They liked ice cream a lot. They said yes to Mom. They helped Mom clean up the sauce. They learned a lesson. They had a happy lunch.
Ben and Lily were twins. They liked to play together and help their mom. One day, their mom made some pastries for them. They smelled very good and looked very yummy.

"Here you go, my sweeties. One pastry for each of you. Enjoy!" their mom said and gave them a plate.

"Thank you, mom!" Ben and Lily said and took a pastry. They were very happy.

But then, they saw that their pastries were not the same. Ben's pastry had chocolate on top, but Lily's pastry had jam. Ben liked chocolate, but Lily liked jam.

"Hey, your pastry is different from mine!" Ben said to Lily.

"Yes, it is. Do you want to try mine?" Lily asked.

Ben thought for a moment. He wanted to try Lily's pastry, but he also wanted to keep his own. He did not know what to do.

Lily saw that Ben was confused. She smiled and said, "I have an idea. Why don't we share our pastries? We can cut them in half and swap. That way, we can have both chocolate and jam. What do you think?"

Ben liked Lily's idea. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's share. That sounds fun!"

They cut their pastries in half and swapped. They took a bite and smiled. They liked both pastries. They were very tasty.

They hugged each other and said, "Sharing is nice. We are happy."

Their mom watched them and smiled too. She was proud of her twins. They were very kind and regular. She loved them very much.
Lily and Max were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food for their dolls and stuffed animals. They had a toy grill that looked like the one their dad used for barbecue.

"Max, can you remind me what we need for our burgers?" Lily asked, holding a plastic patty in her hand.

"We need cheese, lettuce, tomato, and ketchup," Max said, looking at the toy food basket. "And buns, of course."

"OK, I'll get the cheese and the lettuce, you get the tomato and the ketchup," Lily said. They ran to the basket and picked up their ingredients.

They put their patties on the grill and pretended to flip them with a spatula. They made sizzling noises with their mouths. They smelled something good from the real grill. Their dad was making barbecue for lunch.

"Hi, kids, are you having fun?" their dad asked, smiling at them.

"Yes, dad, we are making burgers for our friends," Lily said, pointing at the dolls and stuffed animals.

"That's very kind of you," their dad said. "Do you want to try some of my barbecue? I have chicken, ribs, and corn."

"Yum, yes, please," Max said, licking his lips.

"Me too, me too," Lily said, jumping up and down.

"OK, then, come and get it," their dad said, taking some plates and forks. "But first, wash your hands."

Lily and Max ran to the sink and washed their hands. Then they followed their dad to the table and enjoyed the barbecue. They shared some with their friends, too. They were very happy and full.
Lila and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lila was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lila counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She saw a big tree with many leaves and thought Ben might be hidden there.

She walked to the tree and said, "Ben, are you there? I will find you!" But when she reached the tree, she saw something else. It was a leopard! A real leopard with spots and sharp teeth. The leopard was sleeping under the tree and did not hear Lila.

Lila was scared and ran away. She shouted, "Ben, Ben, where are you? There is a leopard in the park!" Ben heard Lila and came out of his hiding place. He saw the leopard too and was also scared. He ran to Lila and they hugged each other.

They looked for a safe place to go. They saw a big rock with a hole in it. They ran to the rock and crawled into the hole. They hoped the leopard would not find them.

They waited for a long time. They heard the leopard wake up and roar. They heard the leopard walk around the park and sniff the air. They heard the leopard come near the rock and scratch it with its claws. They were very quiet and did not make a sound.

After a while, they heard something else. They heard a siren and a voice. It was a park ranger. He had a gun and a net. He saw the leopard and said, "Don't worry, kids, I will catch the leopard and take it back to the zoo. It escaped from its cage this morning. You are very brave and lucky. You succeeded in hiding from the leopard."

Lila and Ben were happy and relieved. They came out of the hole and thanked the park ranger. He took them to their parents, who were very worried and glad to see them. They hugged and kissed them and said, "You are our heroes. You succeeded in staying safe and calm. We are very proud of you."
Tim and Mia are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses with the blocks. They have many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green.

"Look at my tower!" Tim says. He has a tall tower with a blue block on top. "It is the highest tower ever!"

Mia wants to make a higher tower. She has a red block on top of her tower. She tries to put another block on top, but the red block is broken. It has a crack in it. The block falls off and her tower falls down.

"Oh no!" Mia says. She is sad. She likes the red block. It is her favorite block.

"Here, Mia," Tim says. He is a good friend. He gives Mia his blue block. "You can have my blue block. It is not broken. You can put it on top of your tower."

"Thank you, Tim!" Mia says. She is happy. She takes the blue block and puts it on top of her tower. She replaces the broken red block with the blue block. Now her tower is higher than Tim's tower.

"Wow, Mia!" Tim says. He is not mad. He is proud of Mia. "Your tower is amazing! You are a great builder!"

They smile and hug. They are happy. They keep playing with the blocks. They share and help each other. They are good friends.
Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a mask on the ground. It was red and blue and had a big smile. Lily wanted to try it on, but Tom said no.

"That mask is not for us. It is for someone else. Maybe it is lost. We should give it back," Tom said.

"But it is so charming. It makes me happy. Please, can I wear it for a little while?" Lily asked.

Tom shook his head. He did not think it was right to take something that was not theirs. He picked up the mask and put it in his backpack. He told Lily they should go and look for the owner.

Lily was sad. She really liked the mask. She thought it would make her more fun and pretty. She followed Tom, but she was not happy.

They walked around the park, asking people if they knew who the mask belonged to. No one did. They were about to give up, when they saw a clown. He was making balloons and jokes for the children. He had a red nose and a big hat, but no mask.

"Excuse me, sir. Is this your mask?" Tom asked, showing him the mask.

The clown's eyes lit up. He smiled and nodded.

"Yes, yes, yes! That is my mask! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are very kind and honest. How did you find it?" he asked.

"We found it on the ground. We thought you might need it. Here you go," Tom said, handing him the mask.

The clown put on the mask and gave Tom and Lily a big hug. He also gave them each a balloon and a candy.

"You have made my day. This mask is very special to me. It helps me make people laugh and happy. Without it, I feel sad and lonely. You have done a good deed. You are true friends," he said.

Tom and Lily smiled. They felt good and proud. They learned that it is better to be honest and helpful than to be selfish and greedy. They also learned that happiness comes from inside, not from a mask. They thanked the clown and waved goodbye. They went home, holding hands and their balloons. They were happy.
Lily was restless. She did not want to go to bed. She wanted to play with her toys and read her books. But Mommy said it was time to sleep.

"Please, Mommy, can I stay up a little more?" Lily asked.

"No, Lily, you need to sleep. You had a busy day. You went to the park, you baked cookies, you painted a picture. You need to rest your body and your mind," Mommy said.

"But I'm not tired, Mommy. I'm bored. Can you tell me a story?" Lily said.

"Okay, Lily, I will tell you a story. But first, you need to put on some lotion. Your skin is dry from the sun and the wind. Lotion will make it soft and smooth," Mommy said.

She took a bottle of lotion from the shelf and squeezed some on her hand. She rubbed it gently on Lily's arms, legs, and face. Lily liked the smell of the lotion. It smelled like flowers and honey.

"Mommy, what is the story about?" Lily asked.

"The story is about a princess who lived in a castle. She had many friends who included a dragon, a fairy, a unicorn, and a mouse. They had many adventures together. Do you want to hear more?" Mommy said.

"Yes, Mommy, please tell me more," Lily said.

Mommy smiled and began to tell the story. Lily listened with her eyes wide and her mouth open. She forgot about being restless. She felt warm and cozy from the lotion and the story. She snuggled closer to Mommy and closed her eyes. She fell asleep before the story ended. Mommy kissed her forehead and turned off the light. She whispered, "Good night, my sweet Lily. I love you."
Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide.

"Can we go on the slide, please?" Lily asks her mom.

"Okay, but be careful. It is very high," her mom says.

Lily and Sam run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They have fun. They laugh and shout.

"Look at me, Sam!" Lily says. She goes down the slide very fast. She waves her arms in the air.

"Wow, Lily, you are so brave!" Sam says. He goes down the slide too. He waves his hands to his dad.

"Good job, Sam!" his dad says. He waves back to him.

Lily and Sam go on the slide many times. They count how many times they go. They learn new numbers.

"One, two, three, four, five!" Lily says.

"Six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" Sam says.

They are very happy. They love the slide. They love to wave. They love to learn.

But there is also something bitter. Bitter means not sweet and not yummy. It is a lemon. Tim's mom put a lemon in the cake. She says it is an experiment. She wants to see how Tim reacts.

Anna liked to design things. She liked to draw and cut and glue and make new things. She had a big box of paper and crayons and scissors and stickers. She wanted to design something for summer.

She asked her mom, "Mom, can I design a summer hat?"

Her mom said, "Sure, Anna. That sounds like a fun idea. What do you need?"

Anna said, "I need a big paper plate and some ribbon and some flowers."

Her mom said, "OK, let me help you find them. Then you can design your hat."

They went to the kitchen and found a paper plate and some ribbon. They went to the garden and picked some flowers. Anna was very happy. She said, "Thank you, mom. Now I can design my hat."

She went to her room and started to design. She cut a hole in the middle of the paper plate and put the ribbon through it. She tied the ribbon under her chin. She glued some flowers on the edge of the paper plate. She looked in the mirror and smiled. She had designed a summer hat.

She ran to her mom and showed her. Her mom said, "Wow, Anna. You did a great job. Your hat is very pretty and colorful. You are very creative."

Anna said, "Thank you, mom. I like to design things. Can I design something else?"

Her mom said, "Sure, Anna. But first, let's go outside and enjoy the summer. It's a sunny day and we can have a picnic."

Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys and eat toast for breakfast. But they do not like to share. Every morning, they fight over who gets the best toast.

One day, Mom makes toast with jam and butter. She lays four pieces on a big plate. She tells Tom and Mia to each take two pieces and be nice to each other.

Tom runs to the plate and grabs the two biggest pieces. He says, "These are mine! They have more jam and butter. They are the best!"

Mia is angry. She says, "That is not fair! You are greedy! You always take the best toast. I want one of those pieces!"

Tom says, "No! They are mine! Go away!"

Mia tries to take one piece from Tom's hand. Tom pulls it back. They start to tug and pull. The toast breaks in half. Jam and butter fly everywhere. They get on their clothes, their faces, and the floor.

Mom hears the noise and comes back. She sees the mess and the broken toast. She is not happy. She says, "What are you doing? You are wasting good food and making a mess. You are not being nice to each other. You are not being popular. No one likes to play with greedy and mean children. You should share and be kind."

Tom and Mia feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were selfish and rude. We do not want to be greedy and mean. We want to be popular and have friends. We will share and be kind."

Mom says, "That is good. I am glad you learned your lesson. Now, go and wash your faces and hands. Then, you can have some fresh toast. And remember, sharing is caring."
Anna liked to play with her friends at the park. They ran, slid, swung and laughed together. They were a happy group. But Anna also liked to do things by herself. She was independent.

One day, Anna felt tired after playing. She wanted to nap. She saw a big tree with soft grass under it. She thought it was a good place to nap. She did not tell her friends. She just walked away and lay down under the tree.

Her friends did not see her leave. They kept playing. They did not know where Anna was. They started to worry. They looked for her everywhere. They called her name. They asked other people. They could not find her.

Anna slept for a long time. She did not hear her friends. She did not hear the big dog that came near the tree. The dog smelled Anna. The dog was hungry. The dog barked and bit Anna. Anna woke up and screamed. She was hurt and scared. She wished she had stayed with her friends. She wished she had told them where she was. She wished she had not been so independent.
Tom and Lily were playing in the farm. They liked to see the animals and feed them. They had some bread and carrots to offer them.

They saw a big sheep with white wool. Tom wanted to offer it some bread. He said, "Hello, sheep. Do you want some bread? It is yummy."

But the sheep did not want the bread. It shook its head and walked away. Tom felt frustrated. He said, "Why don't you want my bread? It is not nice to say no."

Lily saw another sheep with black wool. She wanted to offer it some carrots. She said, "Hello, sheep. Do you want some carrots? They are crunchy."

But the sheep did not want the carrots. It nodded its head and walked away. Lily felt frustrated. She said, "Why don't you want my carrots? It is not nice to say no."

Tom and Lily did not understand why the sheep did not want their food. They felt sad and angry. They decided to go to another place.

They saw a cow with brown spots. They wanted to offer it some bread and carrots. They said, "Hello, cow. Do you want some bread and carrots? They are yummy and crunchy."

The cow wanted the bread and carrots. It mooed and licked their hands. Tom and Lily felt happy. They said, "Thank you, cow. You are very nice and friendly."

They played with the cow and forgot about the sheep. They learned that not all animals like the same food. They also learned to be kind and share.
Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Lily brings a new toy to Tom's house. It is a tank. It is big and green and has a long gun.

"Wow, Lily, your tank is cool!" Tom says. "Can I have a turn?"

"Sure, Tom, you can have a turn. But you have to be careful. The tank can shoot balls. They are not real balls, but they can hurt if they hit you." Lily says.

Tom takes the tank and pushes a button. The tank makes a loud noise and shoots a ball. The ball flies across the room and hits a lamp. The lamp falls and breaks.

"Oh no, Tom, you broke the lamp!" Lily says. "We have to tell your mom."

Tom feels bad. He does not want to tell his mom. He is afraid she will be mad. He thinks of a plan.

"Maybe we can hide the lamp. Maybe we can put it under the sofa. Then mom will not see it." Tom says.

Lily shakes her head. She does not like Tom's plan. She thinks it is wrong to hide things.

"No, Tom, we cannot hide the lamp. That is not nice. We have to be honest. We have to say sorry. Maybe mom will not be mad if we say sorry." Lily says.

Tom sighs. He knows Lily is right. He does not want to be a bad friend. He picks up the lamp and follows Lily to the kitchen. Mom is there. She is making a cake. She is not lazy. She likes to bake.

"Mom, we have something to tell you." Tom says.

"What is it, Tom?" Mom says.

Tom and Lily show mom the lamp. They tell her what happened. They say sorry.

Mom looks at the lamp. She looks at Tom and Lily. She is not mad. She is glad they told her the truth.

"It's okay, Tom and Lily. I'm not mad. Accidents happen. I'm proud of you for being honest. You are good friends. But next time, be more careful with your toys. And don't shoot balls in the house." Mom says.

Tom and Lily nod. They hug mom. They are happy. They have a good mom. They have a good friend. They have a fun tank. But they will not shoot balls in the house anymore. They will play outside. They will have more fun.
Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play outside and explore new things. One day, they found a creek near their house. It had clear water and many rocks and fish.

"Look, Tom, a creek!" Lila said. "Can we go closer?"

"Sure, Lila, but be careful. The water can be deep and fast," Tom said. He was a dependable friend. He always looked after Lila and helped her when she needed.

They walked along the creek, holding hands. They saw a big frog on a log. They heard a bird sing in a tree. They felt the sun warm on their skin. They were happy.

Then, they saw a bridge over the creek. It was made of wood and rope. It looked old and shaky.

"Wow, a bridge!" Lila said. "Can we cross it?"

"I don't know, Lila. It doesn't look safe," Tom said. He was a smart friend. He always thought before he did something.

But Lila was curious. She wanted to see what was on the other side of the creek. She let go of Tom's hand and ran to the bridge.

"Lila, wait!" Tom shouted. He was a worried friend. He didn't want Lila to get hurt.

Lila stepped on the bridge. It creaked and swayed. She felt scared. She realized she made a mistake. She wanted to go back to Tom.

"Tom, help!" Lila cried. She was a sorry friend. She wished she listened to Tom.

Tom ran to the bridge. He was a brave friend. He wanted to save Lila.

He reached out his hand and grabbed Lila's hand. He pulled her back to the shore. They hugged each other.

"Tom, thank you!" Lila said. She was a grateful friend. She was glad Tom was there.

"Lila, you're welcome!" Tom said. He was a happy friend. He was glad Lila was safe.

They walked back to their house, holding hands. They learned a lesson. They realized they should always be careful and listen to each other. They were still best friends.
Tom is a cat. He has soft fur and a long tail. He likes to sleep and play with his toys. Sometimes he is busy and runs around the house.

One day, Tom sees a bird outside the window. The bird is small and has feathers. It sings a pretty song. Tom wants to catch the bird. He raises his paw and tries to touch the window. But the window is hard and he cannot reach the bird.

Tom is sad and angry. He makes a loud noise and scratches the window. He hopes the bird will come closer. But the bird is smart and flies away. It does not want to be caught by Tom.

Tom gives up and goes to his bed. He curls up and licks his fur. He thinks about the bird and dreams of catching it. He is not busy anymore. He is sleepy and happy.
Anna and Ben were having dinner with their mom and dad. They were eating spaghetti with red sauce and cheese. Anna liked spaghetti a lot, but Ben did not. He wanted to eat pizza or chicken nuggets instead.

"Ben, you have to eat your spaghetti. It's good for you," mom said.

"But I don't like it. It's too messy and sticky," Ben said. He made a frown with his mouth and pushed his plate away.

"Come on, Ben. It's not that bad. Look, Anna is eating hers and she's happy," dad said.

Anna smiled and twirled her fork in the spaghetti. She liked to make funny shapes with the noodles. She said, "Spaghetti is fun. You can pretend it's worms or snakes or hair."

Ben looked at Anna and made a bigger frown. He did not think spaghetti was fun. He thought it was gross. He said, "No, thank you. I want pizza or chicken nuggets."

Mom and dad sighed. They did not know what to do with Ben. They wanted him to try new foods and be polite. They said, "Ben, this is a fancy dinner. We made it special for you and Anna. You have to eat at least some of your spaghetti. Please."

Ben looked at his mom and dad. He saw that they were sad and disappointed. He did not want to make them feel that way. He decided to give the spaghetti a chance. He picked up his fork and took a small bite. He chewed slowly and swallowed. He was surprised. It was not that bad. It was actually kind of good. He said, "Sorry, mom and dad. I was wrong. Spaghetti is not gross. It's yummy."

Mom and dad smiled and hugged Ben. They were proud of him for being brave and trying something new. They said, "That's okay, Ben. We're glad you like it. You can have pizza or chicken nuggets another day. But today, we're having a fancy spaghetti dinner."

Anna and Ben finished their spaghetti and asked for more. They enjoyed their fancy dinner with their mom and dad. They did not frown anymore. They smiled and laughed and had a good time.
Lily and Ben were playing with a rope in the yard. They liked to make knots and loops with the rope. But they did not like to share the rope. They each wanted to have the longest and best part of the rope.

One day, they had a big fight over the rope. They pulled and tugged and shouted at each other. They made the rope into a tight and messy knot. They could not untie the knot or split the rope. They were very angry and sad.

Mom came out and saw the knot. She asked them what happened. Lily and Ben did not answer. They looked away and pouted. Mom shook her head and said, "You two need to learn to share and be kind. If you fight over things, you will only make them worse. Look at this knot. It is hard and ugly and useless. Is this what you want?"

Lily and Ben felt ashamed. They realized that Mom was right. They had ruined their fun and their rope. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They asked Mom to help them untie the knot. Mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you are sorry. But you have to work together to untie the knot. It is not easy, but it is possible. If you cooperate and listen, you will find a way."

Lily and Ben nodded and tried to untie the knot. They took turns and followed Mom's instructions. They were patient and careful. After a while, they managed to untie the knot. They were happy and proud. They thanked Mom and hugged each other. They decided to share the rope and make nice knots and loops. They learned that sharing and being kind is better than fighting and being sour.
Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the big garden behind their house. There are many flowers, trees and bugs to see. Sometimes they find hidden things, like a shiny stone or a funny hat.

One day, they see a big hole in the wall of the old shed. They are curious and want to look inside. They hold hands and walk slowly to the hole. They peek through the crack and see a lot of old stuff. There are boxes, tools, books and toys. They see a big teddy bear with a red bow. Anna likes teddy bears.

"Can we take it?" she whispers to Ben.

"I don't know. Maybe it belongs to someone," he whispers back.

They hear a loud noise from the shed. It sounds like a heavy door slamming. They are scared and think someone is coming. They run away from the hole and hide behind a bush. They hug each other and wait.

They hear footsteps and voices. They see a man and a woman come out of the shed. They are their neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Brown. They are smiling and carrying some boxes.

"Look, we found some old things from our childhood. Maybe we can give them to the kids next door. They would love them," Mrs. Brown says.

"Yes, that's a good idea. They are such sweet twins. I'm sure they would like this teddy bear. It was my favorite when I was little," Mr. Brown says.

He holds the teddy bear with the red bow and walks to the house. Anna and Ben see him and feel happy. They think he is going to give them the teddy bear. They come out of the bush and wave to him.

"Hello, Mr. Brown. What do you have there?" Anna asks.

"Hello, Anna. Hello, Ben. I have a surprise for you. Do you like teddy bears?" Mr. Brown asks.

"Yes, we do. We love teddy bears," Ben says.

"Well, then, this is for you. It's a very special teddy bear. It can whisper secrets to you. Do you want to try?" Mr. Brown says.

He gives them the teddy bear and shows them how to press its ear. They hear a soft voice say, "I love you. You are my best friends."

Anna and Ben are amazed and happy. They hug the teddy bear and thank Mr. Brown.

"Thank you, Mr. Brown. This is the best gift ever. We will take good care of it," Anna says.

"You're welcome, Anna. You're welcome, Ben. I'm glad you like it. Have fun with it," Mr. Brown says.

He smiles and goes back to the shed with Mrs. Brown. Anna and Ben run to their house with the teddy bear. They can't wait to play with it and hear more secrets. They think it is a magical teddy bear. They are very happy.
One day, Anna and her mom went to the park. They brought some bread to feed the swans. Anna liked the swans. They were big and white and had long necks.

"Mom, can I feed the swans?" Anna asked.

"Sure, honey, but be careful. Don't get too close. They might bite you," Mom said.

Anna nodded and tore a piece of bread. She threw it into the water. A swan swam over and ate it. Anna smiled. She threw another piece. Another swan came. Anna was happy.

"Look, Mom, the swans like me!" Anna said.

"Yes, they do. They are hungry and they appreciate your kindness," Mom said.

Then, Anna saw a swan that was different. It had a black beak and a black ring around its eye. It looked older and wiser than the other swans. It did not eat the bread. It just watched Anna.

"Mom, who is that swan?" Anna asked.

"That is the leader of the swans. He is very wise and he protects his flock. He does not need the bread. He has enough food," Mom said.

Anna was curious. She wanted to talk to the wise swan. She threw a piece of bread near him. He did not eat it. He looked at Anna.

"Hello, wise swan. I am Anna. I like you and your friends. Why don't you eat the bread?" Anna said.

The wise swan tilted his head. He made a soft sound. He seemed to understand Anna.

"Hello, Anna. I am the leader of the swans. I thank you for your kindness. But I do not eat the bread. It is not good for me. It makes me sick. I eat plants and fish. They are better for me," the wise swan said.

Anna was amazed. She did not know that swans could talk. She felt sorry for the wise swan.

"I am sorry, wise swan. I did not know that bread is bad for you. I will not give you bread anymore. I will give you plants and fish. Do you like that?" Anna said.

The wise swan nodded. He smiled. He liked Anna. She was smart and sweet.

"Yes, Anna. I like that. You are a good friend. You care about me and my flock. You are wise, too," the wise swan said.

Anna and the wise swan became friends. They talked and played. Mom watched them. She was proud of Anna. She was kind and wise, too.
Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play on the farm. They saw a goat in the barn and wanted to pet it. The goat was white and had horns and a beard.

"Hello, goat," Tom said. "Can we pet you?"

The goat looked at Tom and Lily and made a loud noise. "Baa!"

Tom and Lily thought the goat was friendly. They went closer to the goat and reached out their hands. The goat did not like that. The goat was angry and scared.

The goat kicked Tom and Lily with its legs. It also tried to hit them with its horns. Tom and Lily cried and ran away. They had scratches and bruises on their arms and legs.

The farmer heard the noise and came to the barn. He saw the goat and Tom and Lily. He was not happy.

"What are you doing here?" the farmer asked. "This is my goat. You should not bother it. It is not a toy. It is a working animal."

Tom and Lily were sorry. They did not know the goat was the farmer's. They thought the goat was lonely and wanted to play.

"We are sorry, farmer," Tom said. "We wanted to offer the goat some hay and some love. We did not mean to make it mad."

The farmer shook his head. He was not organized. He did not lock the barn door. He did not put a sign that said "Do not touch the goat". He did not teach Tom and Lily about the goat.

"You should go home now," the farmer said. "And do not come back to the barn. The goat is not safe for you. You could get hurt more."

Tom and Lily nodded. They were sad and scared. They walked back to their houses. They did not play on the farm anymore. They did not like the goat anymore. They learned a hard lesson.
Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with cards. The cards have pictures of animals on them. Sara and Tom try to find two cards that have the same animal. They call this game "match".

One day, Sara and Tom play match in the park. They sit on a blanket under a big tree. The park is quiet. They do not hear cars or people. They only hear birds and wind.

Sara and Tom have fun. They find many matches. They laugh and clap. They are happy. They are good at match. They are smart youths.

But then, a dog comes. The dog is big and brown. The dog sees the cards. The dog thinks the cards are toys. The dog runs to the blanket. The dog grabs the cards with his mouth. The dog shakes his head. The cards fly everywhere.

Sara and Tom are scared. They scream. They hide behind the tree. The dog does not care. The dog chews the cards. The dog makes a mess.

Sara and Tom are sad. They lose their cards. They lose their game. They lose their quiet. They cry. They want to go home. They do not like the dog. The dog is bad. The dog does not match.
Sara and Tom were very excited to go to the zoo with their mom. They had been waiting for this day for a long time. They had a big bag with snacks, water, and hats. They also had their tickets, which mom had bought online.

When they got to the zoo, they saw a long line of people waiting to get in. Mom said they had to be patient and wait for their turn. Sara and Tom felt a little bored and tired. They looked at the sky and saw that it was gloomy and gray. They hoped it would not rain.

"Look, mom, look!" Tom suddenly shouted, pointing at something. Sara and mom followed his finger and saw a big sign with a picture of a lion. The sign said: "Meet Leo, the king of the zoo!"

Sara and Tom loved lions. They had seen them in books and on TV, but never in real life. They wanted to see Leo very much. They hoped he would be friendly and not scary.

"Can we go see Leo, mom, please?" Sara asked.

"Of course, sweetie, but first we have to show our tickets to the lady at the gate. She will scan them and let us in. Then we can go see Leo and all the other animals, okay?" mom said.

Sara and Tom nodded and smiled. They held their tickets tightly in their hands and followed mom to the gate. They saw the lady with a machine that made a beep sound when she scanned the tickets. They gave their tickets to the lady and waited for the beep.

"Here you go, kids, enjoy the zoo!" the lady said, handing them back their tickets. "And don't forget to say hello to Leo, he's very special. He was born here at the zoo and he's very smart. He can recognize his keepers and some of his visitors by their voices and faces. Maybe he'll recognize you too, if you're nice to him."

Sara and Tom were amazed. They thanked the lady and ran to the lion enclosure with mom. They couldn't wait to meet Leo and see if he would recognize them. They hoped he would like them and maybe even roar for them. They felt happy and curious, and forgot about the gloomy sky. They were ready for a fun day at the zoo.
Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for worms. They had a big jar where they kept the worms they found.

"Look, Lily, I found a fat worm!" Tom said, holding up a long, wriggly worm. "He is bigger than my finger!"

"Wow, Tom, he is very fat!" Lily said, admiring the worm. "Can I hold him?"

"Okay, but be gentle," Tom said, handing the worm to Lily. "Don't squeeze him too hard."

Lily took the worm and stroked it softly. She liked how it tickled her hand. But then, she heard a snap. The worm broke in two!

"Oh no, Tom, I broke the worm!" Lily cried, dropping the worm pieces. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Tom looked at the worm pieces. He felt sad for the worm. But he also remembered something he learned at school.

"Don't worry, Lily, we can repair the worm," Tom said, picking up the worm pieces. "Worms can grow new parts. If we put the pieces back in the dirt, they will become two new worms."

"Really?" Lily asked, wiping her tears. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure," Tom said, nodding. "Let's try it."

Tom and Lily dug a small hole in the dirt. They put the worm pieces in the hole and covered them with dirt. Then they waited.

After a while, they saw something moving in the dirt. They dug carefully and saw two fat worms poking their heads out.

"Look, Lily, they are alive!" Tom said, smiling. "They are happy!"

"Yay, Tom, you were right!" Lily said, clapping. "We repaired the worm!"

Tom and Lily hugged each other. They were happy too. They put the two worms in their jar and went to show their mom.
Sara did not like cauliflower. She thought it was white and yucky and smelled bad. She always tried to hide it under her plate or give it to her dog. But her mom knew her tricks and made her eat it.

One day, Sara had a plan. She saw a big bowl of cauliflower on the table for dinner. She decided to sneak some into her pocket and throw it away later. She was very careful and quiet. She thought she was smart.

But she was not. Her mom saw her and was angry. She said, "Sara, what are you doing? You have to eat your cauliflower. It is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy. You are suffering for nothing."

Sara felt bad. She did not want to make her mom angry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I don't like cauliflower. It is gross. Can I have something else?"

Her mom shook her head. She said, "No, Sara. You have to eat what is on your plate. You can have something else after you finish. Now, sit down and eat your cauliflower. And don't put it in your pocket again."

Sara sighed. She sat down and looked at her plate. She saw the white lumps of cauliflower. She felt like crying. She wished she could be like her sister, Lily. Lily liked cauliflower. She ate it with a smile. She was graceful and polite. She never suffered at dinner.

One day, Tom goes to the park with his mom. He brings his robot with him. He wants to show it to his friends. He sees Anna and Ben on the swings. They are his friends from school. He runs to them and says hello.

"Look at my robot!" Tom says. "It is a smart machine. It can talk, sing and dance. Do you want to play with it?"

Anna and Ben are curious. They want to see the robot. They get off the swings and go to Tom. They say hello to the robot. The robot says hello back. It smiles and blinks its eyes.

"Wow, it is a smart machine!" Anna says. "Can it sing a song?"

"Yes, it can!" Tom says. "Robot, sing a song for us!"

Sara liked to write in her journal. She wrote about her day, her friends, her toys, and her dreams. She drew pictures of flowers, animals, and stars. She kept her journal under her bed, where no one could see it.

One day, Sara went to play with Lily, her best friend. Lily had a new doll that could talk and sing. Sara wanted to play with the doll, but Lily said no. Lily said it was her doll and she did not want to share. Sara felt sad and angry.

Sara saw Lily's journal on her desk. It was gray and had a lock on it. Sara wondered what Lily wrote in her journal. Maybe she wrote mean things about Sara. Maybe she wrote secrets that Sara did not know. Sara wanted to read Lily's journal, but she did not have the key.

Sara had an idea. She decided to borrow Lily's journal. She thought Lily would not notice. She put the journal in her backpack and said goodbye to Lily. She ran home and looked for the key. She found it in a drawer in her room. It was a small silver key with a heart on it.

Sara opened Lily's journal and started to read. She saw that Lily wrote nice things about Sara. She wrote that Sara was her best friend and that she loved her. She wrote that she was sorry for not sharing her doll. She wrote that she had a surprise for Sara. She drew a picture of a rainbow and a heart.

Sara felt bad for borrowing Lily's journal. She realized that Lily was not mean, but kind. She realized that she was wrong to take something that was not hers. She decided to give back Lily's journal and say sorry. She hoped that Lily would forgive her and still be her friend. She wrote a note in her journal and put it in her backpack. She ran to Lily's house and knocked on the door. She saw Lily's smile and felt happy.
Tom and Lily are playing with blocks in their room. They want to build a big tower with all the blocks they have. They take turns to put one block on top of another. They are having fun.

But then, Tom sees that Lily has a bright yellow block that he likes. He wants to have it for his tower. He reaches out to grab it from Lily's hand. Lily does not like that. She holds the block tight and says, "No, Tom, this is mine. You have your own blocks."

Tom does not listen. He pulls harder and harder. Lily pulls back. They start to yell at each other. "Give me the block!" "No, it's mine!" "I want it!" "No, you don't!"

Mom hears the noise and comes to the room. She sees Tom and Lily fighting over the block. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it, both of you. Why are you yelling? You have so many blocks to play with. You can share and be nice to each other."

She takes the block from them and puts it on the table. She says, "Look, I have a measure here. We can use it to see how tall your tower is. Maybe you can work together and make it even taller. How about that?"

Tom and Lily stop yelling. They look at the measure. They think it is a good idea. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Tom." They hug and make up. They go back to their tower and use the measure to check how high it is. They are happy again.
Lily and Max were playing in the yard. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass. They also liked to look at the flowers, the birds and the bugs. Sometimes they would help their mom and dad with chores, like watering the plants or sweeping the porch.

One day, their mom asked them to do a special chore. She said, "Lily and Max, can you please clean the mailbox? It is very dirty and dusty. You can use this cloth and this spray bottle. Be careful and don't spray your eyes."

Lily and Max nodded and took the cloth and the spray bottle. They walked to the mailbox, which was near the street. They saw that the mailbox was indeed dirty and dusty. It also had some cobwebs and some bird poop on it. They said, "Ew, gross!"

They started to clean the mailbox. They sprayed the cloth with the bottle and wiped the dirt and dust. They also removed the cobwebs and the bird poop. They worked hard and soon the mailbox was shiny and clean. They said, "Wow, look how nice it is!"

As they were admiring their work, they heard a voice. It was the mailman, who had just arrived with his truck. He said, "Hello, Lily and Max! What a lovely surprise! You cleaned the mailbox! Thank you so much! You are very generous and kind!"

Lily and Max smiled and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Mailman! We like to help and make things pretty!"

The mailman gave them a thumbs up and said, "Well, you did a great job! And I have something for you. Here, take these stickers. They are for you, for being such good helpers!"

Lily and Max were very happy. They loved stickers. They said, "Thank you, Mr. Mailman! You are very generous and kind, too!"

Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big pile of leaves. They wanted to jump in it and have fun. They ran to the pile and jumped in. The leaves flew up in the air. They scattered everywhere.

But under the leaves, they saw something scary. It was a skeleton. It had no skin or hair or eyes. It was just bones. Lily and Tom screamed. They were very afraid. They thought the skeleton would hurt them.

But then they heard a laugh. It was their dad. He had put the skeleton in the leaves as a joke. He wanted to make them laugh, not cry. He came out from behind a tree. He was holding a camera. He had taken a picture of their faces.

Lily and Tom were angry at their dad. They did not think it was funny. They threw some leaves at him. He was very fat. He could not run fast. The leaves covered him. He looked like a leaf monster.

Lily and Tom laughed. They were not afraid anymore. They hugged their dad. He hugged them back. He said he was sorry. He said he loved them. They said they loved him too. They went home together. They had some hot chocolate and cookies. They looked at the picture. They smiled. It was a silly picture. They put it on the fridge. They were a happy family.
Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around for Ben, but she could not see him. She wondered where he was hiding.

She walked around the park, looking behind trees and bushes and benches. She saw a big coat on the ground near the slide. She thought maybe Ben was hiding under the coat. She decided to peek under the coat and see if he was there.

She lifted the coat a little bit and saw a pair of shoes. She lifted the coat more and saw a pair of legs. She lifted the coat even more and saw a face. But it was not Ben's face. It was a man's face. He looked angry and scared.

"Hey, what are you doing?" the man shouted. "Get away from me!"

Lily dropped the coat and ran away. She was scared and sorry. She did not mean to bother the man. She was just looking for Ben.

She found Ben near the swings. He was laughing. He saw what happened with the man and the coat. He thought it was funny.

"Lily, Lily, you peeked at the wrong coat!" he said. "That was not me. That was a stranger. He was sleeping under the coat. You woke him up!"

Lily felt bad. She did not think it was funny. She thought it was difficult to play hide and seek in the park. There were too many people and things. She wanted to go home.

"Ben, I don't want to play anymore," she said. "Let's go home. Please."

Ben saw that Lily was sad. He stopped laughing. He was sorry too. He did not mean to make Lily sad. He wanted to make her happy.

"OK, Lily, let's go home," he said. "I'm sorry. I was just joking. You are a good seeker. Next time, we can play somewhere else. Somewhere easier."

Lily smiled a little bit. She was glad that Ben was nice. She took his hand and they walked home. They were still friends.
Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to go on tours with their mom and dad. They saw many new things and learned many new words.

Anna and Ben were sad. They wanted to have fun on the tractor. They saw a man get off the tractor and go into a barn. They thought he was done with the tractor. They ran to the tractor and climbed on it. They pretended to drive it and make loud noises.

But they did not know how to stop the tractor. The tractor started to move by itself. It went very fast and very loud. It scared the animals and the people. The man who owned the tractor came out of the barn and saw Anna and Ben. He was very angry. He shouted at them to get off the tractor.

Anna and Ben were very scared. They did not know how to get off the tractor. They cried and screamed for their mom and dad. Their mom and dad heard them and ran to the tractor. They helped them get off the tractor and hugged them. They said they were sorry to the man who owned the tractor. They said they would pay for any damage.

Anna and Ben were very embarrassed. They did not mean to cause trouble. They said they were sorry to the man who owned the tractor. They said they would never touch a tractor again.

"Sure, honey. Let's go to the vendor," his mom said.

They walked to the vendor, who smiled at them. He had many flavors of ice cream. Tom wanted chocolate. His mom wanted vanilla.

"Here you go, two cones for you," the vendor said, handing them the ice cream.

"Thank you, mister," Tom said.

He licked his ice cream happily. It was cold and sweet. He heard the vendor ring the bell again. He looked around and saw more kids coming to the cart.

Suddenly, he heard a loud noise. It was a dog. A big, black dog. It was barking and running towards the vendor. Tom was fearful. He did not like big dogs. He thought they were scary. He held his mom's hand tightly.

"Mom, I'm scared," he said.

"Don't worry, Tom. The dog won't hurt you. He just wants some ice cream too," his mom said.

She was right. The dog stopped at the cart and wagged his tail. He licked the vendor's hand. The vendor laughed and gave him a scoop of ice cream in a bowl.

"See, he's a friendly dog. He's just hungry," the vendor said.

One day, her brother Tom came into her room. He wanted to play with her dolls too. He picked up one doll and said, "This is my doll. Her name is Bob. She likes to fight and drive cars." Sara did not like that. She said, "No, that is my doll. Her name is Lily. She likes to wear dresses and sing songs. Give her back to me."

Tom did not listen. He said, "No, she is mine. I want to play with her. You have too many dolls. You can share with me." Sara did not want to share. She said, "No, you can't play with my dolls. They are mine. Go away and play with your own toys."

Tom got angry. He said, "Fine, I don't want to play with you. You are mean and selfish. You can't join me and my friends. We are going to play soccer outside. You have to stay here alone." He threw the doll on the floor and ran out of the room.

Sara felt sad. She picked up the doll and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to hurt you. You are my best friend. I love you." She looked around her room. She saw all her dolls sitting quietly. She felt lonely. She said, "Maybe I was too mean to Tom. Maybe I can share with him sometimes. Maybe I can join him and his friends. Maybe playing soccer is fun too."

She decided to go outside and find Tom. She took Lily with her. She said, "Come on, Lily. Let's go and play with Tom. Maybe he will let us play with his toys too. Maybe he will be nice to us. Maybe we can be friends." She ran out of the room and looked for Tom. She hoped he would not be mad at her. She hoped he would let her join him. She hoped he would not ask for a price.

Tom and Mia liked to play with their toy cars and trucks. They had a big box of them, and they made roads and bridges with blocks and books. One day, they found a new toy in the box. It was a pirate ship with a black flag and a cannon.

"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. "It's a pirate ship! Let's play pirates!"

"Okay!" Mia said. "I want to be the captain. You can be the mate."

They put the pirate ship on the floor and pretended to sail on the sea. They made noises like waves and wind. They looked for treasure and other ships to attack.

"Ahoy, matey!" Mia said. "There's a big ship ahead. It has gold and jewels. Let's fire the cannon!"

"Aye, aye, captain!" Tom said. He pushed a button and the cannon made a loud bang. A small ball flew out of it and hit the ship.

"Boom!" Tom said. "We got them! Let's go and take the loot!"

They ran to the ship and grabbed the ball. It was shiny and had a star on it.

"Look, captain!" Tom said. "It's a magic star! Maybe it can make wishes come true!"

"Wow, let's try it!" Mia said. "What do you wish for, matey?"

Tom thought for a moment. He looked at the pirate ship and smiled.

"I wish we could reverse the pirate ship and make it a car!" he said.

He held the star and closed his eyes. He wished very hard. Then he opened his eyes and gasped. The pirate ship had changed. It had wheels and a steering wheel and a horn.

"It worked!" Tom said. "It's a car! A pirate car!"

"Awesome!" Mia said. "Let's drive it!"

They got in the car and turned the steering wheel. The car moved forward and backward. They honked the horn and laughed.

"Beep, beep!" Tom said. "We are the pirate car crew!"

"Yay!" Mia said. "This is so fun!"

They drove the car around the room, having a great time. They were careful not to hit anything or anyone. They were happy with their new toy and their magic star. They decided to share it with their friends and have more adventures. They were the best pirates ever.
Lily liked to dress up in fancy clothes. She had a pink dress with flowers and a shiny buckle on the belt. She also had a hat with a feather and a purse with a button. She felt like a princess when she wore them.

One day, she wanted to show her fancy clothes to her friend Max. She put them on and went to his house. She knocked on the door and said, "Hi, Max. Do you want to see my fancy clothes?"

Max opened the door and looked at Lily. He did not understand why she was wearing those clothes. He said, "Why are you wearing that? It is not a party. It is just a normal day."

Lily felt sad. She thought Max would like her fancy clothes. She said, "But I like them. They are pretty and fun. Don't you like them?"

Max shook his head. He said, "No, I don't. They are too much. They are not for playing. They are for sitting and looking. I like to play. I like to run and jump and climb. You can't do that in those clothes. You will get dirty and tear them. And what if the buckle breaks or the feather falls off? Then you will be sad."

Lily thought about what Max said. She realized he was right. She did not want to get her fancy clothes dirty or broken. She did not want to sit and look. She wanted to play. She said, "You are right, Max. These clothes are not for playing. They are for special days. I will go home and change. Then we can play together. What do you want to play?"

Max smiled. He said, "I want to play pirates. We can make a ship and a treasure map and a flag. Do you want to play pirates with me?"

Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, I do. That sounds fun. I will be back soon. Wait for me, okay?"

Max said, "Okay. I will wait for you. Hurry up, Lily. I can't wait to play pirates with you."

Lily ran back to her house. She took off her fancy clothes and put on her normal clothes. She also grabbed a scarf and a hat to make a pirate costume. She ran back to Max's house. She knocked on the door and said, "Hi, Max. I am back. Are you ready to play pirates with me?"

Max opened the door and looked at Lily. He saw her scarf and hat. He said, "Wow, Lily. You look like a real pirate. You are awesome. Come on, let's play pirates. I have a ship and a map and a flag. Follow me, matey."

Lily followed Max. She felt happy. She liked her fancy clothes, but she liked playing with Max more. She understood that clothes are not important. Friends are important. And playing is important. She said, "Aye, aye, captain. Let's go find the treasure. Arrr!"
Lily was a pupil at a big school. She liked to learn new things and play with her friends. Every morning, she entered the school with her mom and said hello to her teacher.

One day, Lily saw something enormous in the school yard. It was a big truck with a long arm and a big claw. Lily was curious and wanted to see what it was doing. She asked her mom if she could go closer.

Her mom said no, it was too dangerous. The truck was there to move some old things and make room for new things. Lily had to stay away from the truck and enter the school with her mom.

Lily was a little sad, but she listened to her mom. She entered the school and went to her classroom. There, she saw a big surprise. There were new books, new toys, and new crayons for the pupils. Lily was happy and forgot about the truck. She thanked her teacher and started to play with her friends.
Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big truck with ice cream. They run to the truck and ask for ice cream.

The man in the truck smiles and gives them two cones. One is chocolate and one is vanilla. Tom and Lily lick their ice cream and make happy sounds. They think the ice cream is very good. It has a sweet taste.

But then, a big dog comes to the park. The dog is hungry and likes ice cream too. He sees Tom and Lily and runs to them. He barks and jumps and tries to get their ice cream.

Tom and Lily are scared. They drop their cones and run to their mom and dad. The dog eats their ice cream and licks his lips. He thinks the ice cream is very good too. It has a sweet taste.

Tom and Lily are sad. They lost their ice cream and they have no money to buy more. Their mom and dad hug them and say they are sorry. They say the ice cream was expensive and they can't buy more today. They say they can go home and make their own ice cream with milk and sugar and fruit.

Tom and Lily smile. They like the idea of making their own ice cream. They say they love their mom and dad and they don't need expensive ice cream. They go home and help their mom and dad make ice cream. They lay the ice cream in the freezer and wait for it to be cold. Then they eat their ice cream and make happy sounds. They think their ice cream is very good. It has a sweet taste.
Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They were having fun.

But then, Lily saw a red sandwich on a bench. She was hungry. She ran to the bench and took the sandwich.

"Hey, that's mine!" a boy shouted. He was sitting on the other side of the bench. He had a blue cap and a green bike. He was angry.

Lily paused. She looked at the boy. She looked at the sandwich. She felt bad.

"I'm sorry," she said. "I didn't see you. I was hungry. Do you want it back?"

The boy paused. He looked at Lily. He looked at the sandwich. He felt sorry.

"It's okay," he said. "You can have it. I have another one in my bag. Do you want to share?"

Lily smiled. She nodded. She gave half of the sandwich to the boy. They sat on the bench and ate together.

They learned to be kind and share. They became friends. They had more fun.
Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big yellow truck. The truck has a sign that says "Food". Sara and Ben are hungry. They want to see what food the truck has.

They run to the truck and look inside. They see many boxes and bags. They smell something good. They hear a voice. It is the man who drives the truck. He says, "Hello, kids. Do you want some food? I have cookies and juice for you."

Sara and Ben are happy. They love cookies and juice. They say, "Yes, please. Thank you, mister." They reach for the food. But then they stop. They remember what their mom and dad told them. They told them not to take food from strangers. They told them to be careful and trust only people they know.

Sara and Ben look at each other. They are not sure what to do. They want the food, but they do not know the man. They do not know if he is nice or mean. They do not know if the food is good or bad. They do not know if they can trust him.

They decide to be safe. They say, "No, thank you, mister. We have to go now. Bye." They run away from the truck. They go back to the park. They find their mom and dad. They tell them what happened. Their mom and dad hug them. They say, "Good job, Sara and Ben. You are very smart and brave. You did the right thing. You should not take food from strangers. You should only trust people you know. We are proud of you. We have some food for you. Do you want some?"

Sara and Ben nod. They are hungry. They say, "Yes, please. Thank you, mom and dad." They eat the food. It is yummy. They are happy. They trust their mom and dad. They are their friends.
Lily and Ben like to pretend. They pretend to be pirates, or astronauts, or superheroes. They have a big box of costumes and toys to help them pretend.

One day, they pretend to be detectives. They wear hats and coats and glasses. They have a magnifying glass and a notebook. They look for clues and solve mysteries.

They search the house for clues. They search the living room, the kitchen, the bathroom, and the bedrooms. They find a hair clip, a spoon, a sock, and a sticker. They write them down in their notebook.

They think they have a big mystery to solve. Who left these things in the house? They try to guess. Maybe it was a princess, or a chef, or a giant, or a fairy.

They go to the garden to search for more clues. They see their mom and dad. They are sitting on a bench and reading a book. They look normal.

Lily and Ben run to them and show them their clues. They ask them if they know who left them in the house. Mom and dad smile and laugh. They tell them that they left them by mistake. They are not clues, they are just things they forgot to put away.

Lily and Ben are surprised. They thought they had a big mystery to solve. They feel a little silly. But they also feel happy. They had fun pretending to be detectives. They hug their mom and dad and say thank you. They go back to the house to put away their costumes and toys. They wonder what they will pretend to be next.
Sam liked to drive his toy car. He drove it fast and loud on the floor. He drove it up and down the sofa. He drove it around the table. He drove it everywhere.

One day, Sam saw a book on the shelf. It had many words and pictures. He wanted to read it. He took the book and opened it. He saw a word he knew: poem. He liked poems. They were like songs.

He tried to read the poem. He saw some words he knew, like cat and hat and fun. But he saw some words he did not know, like rhyme and scheme and metaphor. He did not understand the poem. He felt sad.

He asked his mom for help. His mom was very intelligent. She knew many things. She came and sat with him. She read the poem to him. She explained the words he did not know. She made the poem sound like a song.

Sam smiled. He liked the poem. He liked his mom. He said, "Thank you, mom. You are very intelligent. You teach me many things. Can I drive my car now?"

His mom laughed. She said, "Yes, you can drive your car now. But remember, poems are also fun. They are like songs for your mind. Maybe you can make your own poem someday."

Sam nodded. He drove his car to his mom. He gave her a hug. He said, "I love you, mom. You are the best. Maybe I will make a poem for you someday."
Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together in the park, share their toys and snacks, and tell each other stories. One day, they decided to get married. They thought marriage was a harmless game, like pretending to be pirates or superheroes.

They found some flowers and rings and went to the big tree. They asked a bird to be their witness. They said, "I do" and kissed each other on the cheek. They were very happy and proud.

But then, Lily's mom and Ben's dad came to pick them up. They saw the flowers and rings and heard the bird. They were very angry and shocked. They scolded Lily and Ben and took them away. They said, "You are too young to get married! Marriage is not a game! It is a serious and sacred thing! You have to wait until you grow up and find someone you really love!"

Lily and Ben cried and felt confused. They did not understand why their parents were so mad. They thought they loved each other and did nothing wrong. They did not know that marriage was more than a harmless game. They did not know that it involved many responsibilities and challenges. They did not know that their parents wanted the best for them and hoped they would find true happiness.

The moral of the story is: Sometimes, children do not understand the meaning and consequences of their actions. They need the guidance and wisdom of their parents and elders. They should respect and listen to them, even if they do not agree with them. They should also learn to be patient and curious, and not rush into things they are not ready for.
One day, a big lion came to a small town. He was very hungry and wanted to find some food. He saw many people and animals in the town, and he thought they looked tasty. He opened his mouth and roared very loud. "ROAR! I am a big lion and I will eat you all!"

The people and animals in the town were very scared. They ran away from the lion and hid in their houses and barns. They did not want to be eaten by the lion. They shouted and cried for help. "Help! Help! There is a big lion in the town and he wants to eat us all!"

But there was one little girl who was not scared. She was very brave and smart. She saw the lion and she felt sorry for him. She thought he was not mean, just hungry and lonely. She walked up to the lion and said, "Hello, Mr. Lion. Why are you roaring so loud? Why do you want to eat us all?"

The lion was surprised. He had never seen a little girl who was not afraid of him. He looked at her and said, "Hello, little girl. I am roaring because I am hungry and I have no friends. I want to eat you because you look delicious."

The little girl smiled and said, "Mr. Lion, you don't have to eat us. We can be your friends. And I can share my food with you. I have some bread and cheese and apples in my basket. Would you like some?"

The lion was curious. He had never tried bread and cheese and apples before. He nodded and said, "Yes, please. I would like some. Thank you, little girl. You are very kind and generous."

The little girl gave the lion some food and they sat down together. They ate and talked and laughed. The lion liked the food and the girl. He felt happy and full. He stopped roaring and started purring. The people and animals in the town saw the lion and the girl. They came out of their hiding places and joined them. They realized the lion was not mean, just hungry and lonely. They welcomed him and offered him more food and friendship. The lion was very happy and grateful. He said, "Thank you, little girl. Thank you, everyone. You are very nice and friendly. I am sorry for scaring you. I don't want to eat you anymore. I want to be your friend."

The little girl hugged the lion and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Lion. I'm glad you're happy. You're my friend too."

And they all lived happily ever after in the town. The end.
Sam and Mia liked to play in the old field near their house. The field had many rocks and sticks and flowers. They liked to build things with the rocks and sticks. Sometimes they built houses, sometimes they built cars, sometimes they built animals.

One day, they decided to build a big castle. They found the biggest rocks and the longest sticks. They worked hard to pile them up and make walls and towers. They used flowers to decorate their castle. They were very proud of their work.

"Look at our castle!" Sam said. "It is the best castle ever!"

"Yes, it is!" Mia agreed. "We are the king and the queen of the castle!"

They pretended to live in the castle and have fun. They invited their stuffed animals to join them. They had a tea party and a dance party and a story time.

But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a tractor. The tractor was coming to the field. The tractor was big and noisy and dirty. The tractor was going to dig up the field and make a new road.

"Go away, tractor!" Sam shouted. "This is our field! This is our castle!"

"Stop, tractor!" Mia cried. "You will break our castle! You will hurt our flowers!"

But the tractor did not listen. The tractor did not see them. The tractor did not care. The tractor came closer and closer to their castle.

Sam and Mia were scared and sad. They grabbed their stuffed animals and ran away. They watched as the tractor smashed their castle and crushed their flowers. They saw their rocks and sticks and flowers fly in the air.

They hugged each other and cried. They had lost their field and their castle. They had no place to play anymore. They wished the tractor would go away. They wished they could build their castle again.
Tom and Mia are going to the cabin with Mom and Dad. They are very happy. They like the cabin. It has a big lake and many trees. They can swim and play and see animals.

Before they go, they have to prepare. They pack their bags with clothes and toys and books. They help Mom and Dad put food and water and blankets in the car. They say goodbye to their cat and their fish. They are ready to go.

They drive for a long time. They see many cars and houses and shops. They sing songs and tell jokes. They ask Mom and Dad when they will be there. Mom and Dad say soon.

They arrive at the cabin. It is small and cozy. It has a fireplace and a porch and a swing. They unload the car and go inside. They choose their beds and unpack their bags. They hug Mom and Dad and say thank you.

They go outside. The sun is shining and the air is fresh. The lake is calm and blue. They see ducks and frogs and fish. They hear birds and squirrels and crickets. They run and jump and laugh. They are very happy. They love the cabin.
Lila and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They liked the animals, but they wanted to see the ostrich. The ostrich was a big bird with long legs and a long neck. It had black and white feathers and a small head.

They found the ostrich pen and ran to the fence. They saw the ostrich standing in the grass. It looked at them with its big eyes. Lila and Ben waved at the ostrich. They wanted to play with it. They thought the ostrich was playful.

"Hello, ostrich!" Lila said. "Do you want to be our friend?"

The ostrich did not answer. It walked closer to the fence. It stretched its neck and opened its beak. It looked angry.

"Mom, can we feed the ostrich?" Ben asked. "Maybe it is hungry."

Mom shook her head. "No, you can't feed the ostrich. It is not safe. The ostrich can bite you. You have to stay away from the fence."

But Lila and Ben did not listen. They wanted to make the ostrich happy. They had some popcorn in their hands. They threw some popcorn over the fence. The ostrich ate the popcorn. It made a loud noise.

"See, mom, the ostrich likes us!" Lila said. "It is not angry. It is playful."

Mom frowned. She did not like what they were doing. She told them to stop. But they did not stop. They threw more popcorn over the fence. The ostrich ate more popcorn. It made a louder noise.

The ostrich was not playful. It was greedy. It wanted more popcorn. It ran to the fence. It pushed its head through the bars. It reached for Lila and Ben. It bit their fingers. It hurt them.

Lila and Ben screamed. They dropped their popcorn. They ran to their mom. They cried. Their fingers were bleeding. Mom hugged them. She was scared. She was angry. She called for help.

The zookeeper came. He saw what happened. He scolded Lila and Ben. He said they were naughty. He said they should not feed the ostrich. He said they should not spend their popcorn on the ostrich. He said they should listen to their mom. He said they should be sorry.

Lila and Ben were sorry. They said they were sorry. They said they did not know. They said they wanted to play with the ostrich. They said they thought the ostrich was playful.

The zookeeper shook his head. He said the ostrich was not playful. He said the ostrich was dangerous. He said they were lucky. He said they could have lost their fingers. He said they had to go to the doctor. He said they had to learn their lesson.

Lila and Ben learned their lesson. They did not like the ostrich anymore. They did not want to play with it anymore. They wanted to go home. They were sad. They were hurt. They had a bad day.
Tom and Sue are playing in the park. They see a big animal with a long nose and big ears. It is an elephant. They want to pet it, but they are afraid.

"Hello, elephant," Tom says. "Can we touch you?"

The elephant nods and makes a loud sound. Tom and Sue smile and walk closer. They touch the elephant's nose and ears. They feel soft and rough.

But then the elephant sneezes. Achoo! A big cloud of dust comes out of its nose. Tom and Sue are covered in dust. They cough and rub their eyes.

"Uh-oh," Sue says. "We are dirty now."

The elephant looks sorry. It tries to blow the dust away with its nose. But it only makes more dust. Tom and Sue are dizzy. They can't see well.

"Help!" Tom says. "We can't breathe."

A man hears them. He is the elephant's keeper. He runs to them and gives them water. He wipes the dust off their faces and clothes.

"Are you OK?" he asks.

Tom and Sue nod. They are OK, but they are still dizzy.

"Thank you," they say to the man.

They say goodbye to the elephant. They are not mad at it. They know it did not mean to sneeze.

They go home with their mom. They tell her what happened. She laughs and hugs them.

They take a bath and wash the dust away. They feel better. They go to bed and dream of elephants.
Lily and Max are twins. They like to play in the bathtub. They have many toys: ducks, boats, bubbles. They splash and laugh and make noise.

But today, Mommy is not happy. She has a headache. She tells Lily and Max to be quiet. She says she needs to rest.

Lily and Max nod. They want to help Mommy. They try to be quiet. But it is hard. They still want to play.

Lily has an idea. She whispers to Max. "Let's support Mommy. Let's make her a card. We can draw and write 'We love you'."

Max likes the idea. He whispers back. "Yes, let's do that. But how do we get out of the bathtub?"

Lily thinks. She sees a towel. She says. "We can wrap ourselves in the towel. Then we can go to our room. We can find paper and crayons."

Max agrees. They wrap themselves in the towel. They are careful not to drip water. They sneak out of the bathroom. They go to their room. They find paper and crayons. They make a card for Mommy.

They are very proud. They go back to the bathroom. They put on their clothes. They dry their hair. They take the card. They go to Mommy's room.

They knock on the door. They say. "Mommy, we have something for you. We hope you feel better."

Mommy opens the door. She sees Lily and Max. She sees the card. She smiles. She hugs them. She says. "Thank you, my sweeties. You are very kind. You made me very happy. I love you too."

Lily and Max are happy. They helped Mommy. They were quiet. They played in the bathtub. They made a card. They had a good day.
Lily was a curious girl who liked to learn new things. She loved to read books and watch videos about animals. One day, she saw a video about hippos and how they live in the water. She wanted to see a hippo for real, so she asked her mom if they could go to the zoo.

"Mom, can we go to the zoo and see the hippos?" Lily asked.

"Sure, honey, we can go to the zoo tomorrow. But you have to be careful and listen to me when we are there. Hippos are very big and strong, and they can be dangerous if they are angry or scared," Mom said.

"OK, Mom, I will be careful and listen to you. I just want to see the hippos and learn more about them," Lily said.

The next day, they went to the zoo and walked to the hippo enclosure. Lily was very excited and ran ahead of her mom. She saw a big hippo lying in the water, with its ears and eyes sticking out. She wanted to get closer and talk to the hippo, so she climbed over the fence and walked towards the water.

"Hello, hippo, I am Lily. You are very big and beautiful. Can I be your friend?" Lily said.

The hippo heard Lily and looked at her. It was not used to seeing a small human so close to its home. It felt angry and scared, and it opened its mouth and roared loudly. Lily was scared too, and she ran back to the fence. But she was too late, the hippo was faster and it reached her with its big teeth.

"Help, Mom, help!" Lily screamed.

Mom heard Lily and saw the hippo. She was very worried and ran to the fence. She saw a zookeeper nearby and shouted for help.

"Help, my daughter is in the water with the hippo! Please, do something!" Mom said.

The zookeeper heard Mom and saw the situation. He quickly grabbed a tranquilizer gun and shot the hippo. The hippo felt a sting and became sleepy. It let go of Lily and sank into the water. The zookeeper jumped over the fence and pulled Lily out of the water. He checked her for injuries and saw that she was bleeding from her leg. He wrapped a bandage around her wound and carried her to the first aid station.

"Lily, are you OK? I am so sorry, I should have watched you more closely. You were very brave, but you were also very foolish. You should never go near a wild animal without permission. They can hurt you or even kill you. Do you understand?" Mom said.

Lily was crying and hugging her mom. She felt sorry and ashamed. She realized that she had made a big mistake and put herself and the hippo in danger.

"I am sorry, Mom. I was very curious and wanted to see the hippo. I thought it would be nice and friendly, like in the books and videos. I didn't know it would be angry and scared. I should have listened to you and stayed behind the fence. I will never do that again. I hope the hippo is OK," Lily said.

The zookeeper came to them and said that the hippo was OK. He said that it would wake up soon and go back to its normal life. He said that he was glad that Lily was OK too, but he also said that she had to be more careful and respectful of the animals. He said that the zoo was a place to learn and enjoy, but not to disturb or endanger. He said that he would recommend that Lily read more books and watch more videos about hippos, but also about how to be safe and responsible around wildlife. He said that he hoped that Lily would learn from her experience and become a better friend to the animals.

Lily nodded and thanked the zookeeper. She said that she would follow his recommendation and learn more about hippos and other animals. She said that she still loved the animals, but she also understood that they had their own needs and feelings. She said that she would never try to touch or talk to them again, unless they invited her. She said that she would always listen to her mom and the zookeepers when they visited the zoo. She said that she had learned a valuable lesson and that she would never forget it.
Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys. One day, they see a big sign outside the toy store. It says "Sale! Low prices!" They want to go and see the new toys.

They ask their mom if they can go. Mom says yes, but they have to hold her hand and stay close. She gives them each a coin to buy something small. They are happy and thank mom.

They go to the toy store and look at all the toys. There are dolls, cars, balls, books, and more. Lily sees a pink teddy bear. She loves it. She picks it up and looks at the price. It is one coin. She smiles and hugs the bear.

Tom sees a green dinosaur. He likes it. He picks it up and looks at the price. It is two coins. He frowns and puts it back. He looks for something else.

He sees a red car. He likes it. He picks it up and looks at the price. It is one coin. He smiles and holds the car.

They go to the counter and pay for their toys. They say thank you to the lady. They are happy and proud.

They go back to mom and show her their toys. Mom smiles and says they are very nice. She says they can play with them at home.

They go out of the toy store and hold mom's hand. They see a big dog. It barks loudly. They are scared. They hide behind mom.

Mom says it is okay. The dog is friendly. It just wants to say hello. She pets the dog and says it is a good boy. The dog wags its tail.

Lily and Tom are curious. They come out from behind mom. They look at the dog. They touch its fur. It is soft. They say hello to the dog. The dog licks their faces. They giggle.

They are not scared anymore. They like the dog. They say goodbye to the dog. They go home with mom and their toys. They are happy. They have had a fun day.
Anna was a cow who lived on a farm. She liked to eat hay and drink water from the pond. She had many friends, like Ben the horse and Lily the sheep. They played together in the field and slept in the barn.

One day, Anna felt sick. Her tummy hurt and she could not eat hay. She moaned and lay down on the straw. Ben and Lily came to see her. They were worried about Anna. They asked her what was wrong.

Anna said, "I don't know. I ate some hay from the new pile. It looked good, but it tasted bad. Maybe it was bad hay. Now I suffer and I can't play."

Ben and Lily felt sorry for Anna. They wanted to help her. They looked at the new pile of hay. They saw something shiny and smooth in the hay. It was a can. A can that someone had thrown away. A can that had sharp edges.

Ben and Lily realized that Anna had eaten some of the can with the hay. The can had hurt her tummy. They ran to the farmer and told him what they had found. The farmer came quickly and took Anna to the vet. The vet gave Anna some medicine and took out the can from her tummy. He said Anna would be fine, but she had to rest for a while.

Anna was glad that the can was gone. She thanked Ben and Lily for being good friends. She said, "You saved me from the bad hay and the smooth can. You are the best friends a cow can have." Ben and Lily smiled and hugged Anna. They were happy that Anna was better. They hoped she would play with them again soon.
Dan and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy cars. Dan has a red car and Sam has a blue car. They pretend that their cars are powerful and fast.

One day, they make a race track with some books and pillows. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and push their cars along the track. Dan's car is ahead of Sam's car. Sam tries to catch up with Dan.

"Move, Dan, move!" Sam says. "I want to pass you!"

"No, Sam, no!" Dan says. "You have to yield to me! I am the leader!"

They reach a turn on the track. Dan's car goes too fast and hits a book. His car flips over and stops. Sam's car goes around the turn and passes Dan.

"Ha, ha, ha!" Sam says. "I win, I win!"

Dan is sad. He picks up his car and looks at it. His car has a dent and a broken gear. He says, "Oh, no, oh, no! My car is broken!"

Sam sees that Dan is sad. He feels sorry for him. He says, "I'm sorry, Dan, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you sad. Do you want to play with my car? It is still good."

Dan smiles. He says, "Thank you, Sam, thank you. You are a good brother. Can we share your car?"

Sam nods. He says, "Yes, Dan, yes. We can share my car. We can take turns. We can be friends."

They hug each other. They play with Sam's car together. They have fun. They are happy.
Lily liked to record sounds with her toy phone. She would press the red button and say something, then press the green button and hear it back. She liked to record her own voice, her mom's voice, and the noises of her toys.

One day, she went to the zoo with her mom. She saw many animals, like monkeys, lions, and giraffes. But her favorite was the elephant. The elephant was big and gray, and had a long nose and big ears. Lily wanted to record the sound of the elephant.

She asked her mom, "Can I record the elephant, please?"

Her mom said, "Sure, but you have to be patient. The elephant is busy eating. Wait until he makes a sound."

Lily nodded and held her toy phone close to the fence. She waited and waited, but the elephant did not make a sound. He just chewed his food and waved his ears.

Lily felt bored and sad. She said, "Elephant, please make a sound. I want to record you."

The elephant heard Lily and looked at her. He saw her toy phone and was curious. He lifted his long nose and sniffed it. Then he opened his mouth and made a loud trumpet sound.

Lily was surprised and happy. She pressed the red button and recorded the sound. Then she pressed the green button and heard it back. It sounded funny and loud.

She said, "Thank you, elephant. You made a great sound."

The elephant nodded and smiled. He liked Lily and her toy phone. He made another sound and waved his ears.

Lily and her mom laughed and clapped. They had a fun day at the zoo.
Lily and Ben were twins who liked to go on safari with their dad. Safari was when they went to a big park with many animals. They saw lions, zebras, giraffes and more. They had a big sack with food and water and a camera to take pictures.

One day, they saw a big elephant with long tusks and a trunk. Lily wanted to take a picture of it, but Ben was scared. He said, "No, Lily, it is too scary. It might hurt us. Let's go away."

But Lily did not listen. She said, "No, Ben, it is not scary. It is beautiful. I want to take a picture. You stay here with the sack. I will be back soon." She ran towards the elephant with the camera.

Ben was very worried. He watched Lily get closer and closer to the elephant. He saw the elephant raise its trunk and make a loud noise. He thought the elephant was angry. He shouted, "Lily, come back! Come back!"

But Lily did not hear him. She was too busy taking pictures. She smiled and said, "Wow, what a great picture. I am so brave."

Suddenly, she heard a rustle behind her. She turned around and saw a big monkey. The monkey had a naughty look on its face. It grabbed the sack from Ben and ran away. It opened the sack and took out the food and water. It ate the sandwiches and drank the juice. It threw the empty bottles and wrappers on the ground.

Lily and Ben were very sad. They had no food and water left. They had to go back to their dad and tell him what happened. Their dad was not happy. He said, "You should have listened to Ben, Lily. He was right. The elephant was scary. You were lucky it did not hurt you. And you should have stayed with the sack, Ben. You should have protected it from the monkey. You were careless. You wasted the food and water. You made a mess. You have to learn to be careful and respectful when you go on safari. The animals are not toys. They are wild and free. You have to respect them and their home."

Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, dad. We learned our lesson. We will be careful and respectful next time. We will not be brave or careless. We will be smart and kind."

Their dad hugged them and said, "I love you, twins. I am glad you are safe. I hope you enjoyed the safari. But next time, please listen to me and to each other. And please, do not forget the sack."
Tom and Mia are playing on the beach. They have a big bucket and a small shovel. They dig in the sand and make a castle. They are happy.

"Look, Tom, I found a shell!" Mia says. She holds up a shiny shell. "It is pretty. Can I put it on the castle?"

"Yes, Mia, you can. It will make the castle more pretty," Tom says. He smiles at Mia. They put the shell on the castle.

But then they hear a loud splash. They look at the water. They see a big fin. It is a shark. The shark is hungry. It sees the children and the castle. It swims fast to the shore.

"Tom, Mia, run!" their mom shouts. She sees the shark too. She is scared. She runs to the children and grabs their hands. They run away from the water. They leave the bucket and the shovel and the castle.

The shark reaches the sand. It opens its mouth. It wants to eat the castle. But it cannot. The castle is too hard. The sand is thick. The shell is lock on the castle. The shark bites and bites, but it cannot break the castle. It is angry. It roars and shakes its head.

"Ha ha, silly shark!" Tom and Mia say. They are safe with their mom. They watch the shark from far away. They are not scared anymore. They are proud of their castle. They laugh and hug their mom.
Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they shouted and laughed when they scored a goal.

But then a big dog came and ran towards them. The dog was barking and showing its teeth. Anna and Ben were scared and dropped the ball. They ran to the bench where their mom was sitting and hugged her.

"Mom, mom, there is a big dog and it wants our ball!" Anna cried.

"Shh, it's okay, don't worry. The dog is just curious, it doesn't want to hurt you. Maybe it wants to play too." Mom said.

She looked at the dog and saw that it had a collar and a tag. She called the number on the tag and waited for someone to answer.

"Hello, this is Lisa. I'm sorry, is this about my dog, Max?" A voice said.

"Yes, hello, this is Anna and Ben's mom. We are in the park and your dog has taken their ball. They are very scared of him. Can you please come and get him?" Mom said.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know he ran away. I'll be there in a minute. Thank you for calling me." Lisa said.

Mom hung up the phone and smiled at Anna and Ben.

"See, the dog has a name and a owner. She is coming to get him soon. He is not a bad dog, he is just playful. Maybe you can share your ball with him for a little while." Mom said.

Anna and Ben looked at the dog and saw that he was wagging his tail and rolling the ball with his nose. He didn't look so scary anymore. They nodded and got off the bench.

They walked slowly to the dog and said hello. The dog licked their hands and gave them the ball. They threw the ball and the dog ran after it. They took turns and played together.

Soon, Lisa arrived and saw them. She thanked Mom for saving her dog and apologized for the trouble. She gave Anna and Ben a hug and a treat. She said they were very generous and brave to share their ball with Max. She said Max liked them very much and wanted to be their friend.

Anna and Ben smiled and said goodbye to Max. They said they liked him too and hoped to see him again. They gave him their ball as a gift and watched him run happily to Lisa's car.

They went back to their mom and told her what happened. Mom was proud of them and said they did a good job. She said they learned a lesson about kindness and friendship.

They all went home and enjoyed the silence. They were tired but happy. They had a good day.
Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in their room. They have many toys on their shelf. They have cars, balls, dolls, and books.

One day, Tom sees a new toy on the shelf. It is a bow and arrow. It is shiny and red. Tom wants to play with it. He takes it from the shelf.

"Look, Sam, I have a bow and arrow!" Tom says. "I can shoot it at the wall."

"No, Tom, don't do that!" Sam says. "That is Dad's bow and arrow. He told us not to touch it. It is not a toy. It is dangerous."

But Tom does not listen to Sam. He thinks he is smart and brave. He pulls the string and lets go. The arrow flies across the room.

It hits Dad, who is walking in the door. Dad is bald. The arrow sticks in his head. He falls to the floor. He does not move.

Tom and Sam are scared. They drop the bow and run to Dad. They cry and call for Mom.

Mom comes and sees what happened. She is angry and sad. She calls for help. She hugs Tom and Sam and tells them they are very naughty. They have hurt Dad very badly. They have to say sorry and go to their bed.

Tom and Sam are sorry. They wish they had listened to Sam. They wish they had not played with the bow and arrow. They wish they had not hurt Dad. They hope he will be okay. They are very sad. They have a bad ending.
Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big truck with a cage inside. They ran to the truck and looked at the cage. Inside the cage, there was a leopard. The leopard had yellow fur with black spots. It looked sad and scared.

"Wow, a leopard!" Tom said. "I want to pet it."

"No, Tom, you can't," Lila said. "The leopard is not a pet. It is a wild animal. It can bite you or scratch you. And it does not like to be in a cage. It wants to be free in the jungle."

"But it is so pretty," Tom said. "And it looks lonely. Maybe it wants a friend."

Tom reached his hand to the cage. Lila tried to stop him, but it was too late. The leopard saw Tom's hand and growled. It opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth. It tried to bite Tom's hand, but Tom pulled it back quickly. He screamed and ran away from the truck. Lila followed him.

"Are you okay, Tom?" Lila asked. "Did the leopard hurt you?"

Tom shook his head. He was scared, but he was not hurt. He looked at his hand. It had a red mark where the leopard almost bit him.

"I'm okay, Lila," Tom said. "But you were right. The leopard is not a pet. It is a wild animal. And it is not happy in the cage. It is angry and sad. We should not spoil its life. We should let it go."

Lila nodded. She felt sorry for the leopard. She wished it could be free in the jungle, where it could run and hunt and play. She hoped someone would help the leopard and take it back to its home. She hugged Tom and said, "Come on, Tom. Let's go and play somewhere else. Maybe we can find some nice animals that we can pet, like dogs or cats or rabbits. They are friendly and they like to be with us."

Tom agreed. He did not want to see the leopard again. He learned his lesson. He and Lila ran to the other side of the park, where they found some cute animals that they could pet and play with. They had fun and they were happy. And they never spoiled the leopard's life again.
Lily and Ben were bored at home. They wanted to have fun and see new things. They saw a big fridge in the kitchen. They thought it was a magic box that could take them to different places.

"Let's travel inside the fridge!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find ice cream and snow and penguins!"

"OK, let's go!" Ben said. They opened the fridge door and climbed inside. They closed the door behind them.

The fridge was cold and dark. They could not see anything. They could not hear anything. They could not breathe well. They started to feel scared and sad.

"Help! Help!" they shouted. "We want to go out!"

But no one heard them. Their mom and dad were in the living room, watching TV. They did not know that Lily and Ben were in the fridge. They did not check on them for a long time.

Lily and Ben did not travel to any place. They stayed in the fridge until they became very sick and died.

The moral of the story is: Do not go inside the fridge. It is not a magic box. It is a dangerous place. Listen to your mom and dad. They are smart and they know what is good for you.
Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for treasure. One day, they found a shiny glass ball under a tree. It was very pretty and had many colors inside.

"Wow, this is a great treasure!" Ben said. "Let's share it and take turns to hold it."

"OK, but be careful. It is fragile and can break," Lily said.

They played with the glass ball for a while, then they decided to go home. Ben said he would keep the glass ball for the night and give it to Lily the next day.

But Ben forgot his promise. He liked the glass ball so much that he did not want to share it. He hid it in his room and did not tell Lily. Lily waited for Ben to bring the glass ball, but he did not come. She felt sad and angry.

The next day, Ben was playing with the glass ball in his room. He threw it up and down, and spun it around. He did not notice that his window was open. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew the glass ball out of his hand and out of the window. It fell on the ground and shattered into pieces.

Ben ran to the window and saw the broken glass ball. He felt very sorry and cried. He wished he had shared the glass ball with Lily. He realized that he had been selfish and had lost his treasure and his friend.

He ran to Lily's house and knocked on the door. He told her what had happened and said he was sorry. He asked her to forgive him and be his friend again.

Lily was hurt, but she also missed Ben. She saw that he was sincere and regretful. She decided to forgive him and be his friend again. She hugged him and said, "It's OK, Ben. I'm glad you told me the truth. The glass ball was a nice treasure, but our friendship is more precious."

Ben and Lily learned a lesson that day. They learned that sharing is caring, and that being honest is important. They also learned that some things are fragile and can break, but some things are strong and can last. They never forgot their glass ball, but they also never forgot their friendship.
Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big box under a tree. They run to the box and open it. Inside the box, they find many toys. They are very happy.

"Look, Lily, a robot!" Tom says. He takes the robot and pushes a button. The robot makes a loud noise and moves its arms and legs. "Wow, it has power!"

"Look, Tom, a doll!" Lily says. She takes the doll and hugs it. The doll has long hair and a pretty dress. "She is so cute and fragile!"

Tom and Lily play with the robot and the doll. They have fun. But then, a big boy comes to the park. He sees the box and the toys. He is angry.

"Hey, those are my toys!" the big boy says. He walks to Tom and Lily and tries to take the robot and the doll. "Give them to me!"

"No, they are ours!" Tom and Lily say. They hold the robot and the doll tightly. They are scared.

The big boy is stronger than Tom and Lily. He pulls the robot and the doll from their hands. He breaks the robot and the doll. He laughs.

"Ha, ha, ha! Your toys are weak and fragile! They have no power!" the big boy says. He throws the robot and the doll in the trash. He walks away.

Tom and Lily are sad. They cry. They look at the broken robot and the doll. They are sorry.

"Tom, Lily, what happened?" a voice says. It is their mom. She sees the box and the toys. She is worried.

"Mom, a big boy took our toys and broke them!" Tom and Lily say. They tell their mom what happened. They hug their mom.

"Oh, Tom, Lily, I'm so sorry!" their mom says. She hugs them back. She is angry.

"That big boy was very mean and rude! He had no right to do that! He has no power!" their mom says. She takes the broken robot and the doll. She puts them in the box. She looks for the big boy.

"Mom, where are you going?" Tom and Lily ask.

"I'm going to find that big boy and teach him a lesson!" their mom says. She walks to the park. She has power.
Lily was a little bird who lived in a nest with her mom and dad. She loved to fly and sing and play with her friends. But there was one thing she hated: worms. She thought they were slimy and yucky and not tasty at all.

One day, her mom brought her a big worm for breakfast. "Here you go, Lily, eat up. This is a very tasty worm," her mom said.

Lily made a face and shook her head. "No, thank you, mom. I hate worms. They are gross. I want berries. Berries are sweet and juicy and tasty," she said.

Her mom sighed. "Lily, you can't be picky. Worms are good for you. They have protein and vitamins and minerals. Berries are not enough. You need to eat worms to grow strong and healthy," she said.

Lily still refused. She pushed the worm away and flew out of the nest. She wanted to find some berries for herself. She did not care what her mom said. She hated worms and she would never eat them.
Lily and Ben were going to the zoo with their mom. They were very enthusiastic. They wanted to see the lions, the monkeys, and the elephants. They packed their snacks, their hats, and their water bottles.

But on the way, they got stuck in traffic. There were too many cars on the road. They moved very slowly. Lily and Ben got bored and restless. They started to whine and complain.

"Mom, when are we going to get there?" Lily asked.

"Soon, honey, soon. We just have to be patient," Mom said.

"I don't want to be patient. I want to see the animals!" Ben said.

He kicked the seat in front of him. Lily got angry. She grabbed his water bottle and shook it hard. The water spilled all over him.

"Hey, stop that!" Ben shouted.

He snatched the water bottle back and shook it at Lily. The water splashed on her face.

"Mom, Ben is being mean!" Lily cried.

Mom turned around and saw the mess. She was not happy.

"Enough, you two! Stop fighting and behave yourselves. We are almost there. Look, there is the sign for the zoo!" Mom said.

Lily and Ben looked out the window. They saw the sign with a picture of a giraffe. They forgot about their fight. They got excited again.

"Yay, we are here!" they said together.

They smiled and hugged each other. Mom smiled too. She parked the car and took them by the hand. They walked to the entrance of the zoo. They were ready to have fun.
Lily and Ben were playing with their toy boats in the pond. They liked to make them sail and splash in the water. Lily had a red boat and Ben had a blue boat. They were having fun.

But then, a big duck came and saw the boats. The duck was hungry and thought the boats were food. It swam towards them and tried to bite them. Lily and Ben were scared and shouted at the duck.

"Go away, duck! Leave our boats alone!" Lily said.

"No, duck! Don't eat our boats! They are not for you!" Ben said.

The duck did not listen. It snapped at the red boat and the blue boat. It broke them with its beak. Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They cried and ran to their mom.

"Mom, mom! The duck ate our boats! It was mean and bad!" Lily said.

"Mom, mom! The duck broke our boats! It was big and scary!" Ben said.

Mom hugged them and comforted them. She said she was sorry and that she would buy them new boats. She said they could go to the toy store and pick any boats they wanted. She said they could find incredible boats that were faster and prettier than the old ones.

Lily and Ben stopped crying and smiled. They liked the idea of getting new boats. They thanked their mom and held her hand. They went to the toy store and looked for incredible boats. They hoped the duck would not come back.
Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for treasures. Sometimes they found coins, buttons, or shells. But today they found something shiny and hard. It was a diamond!

"Wow, look at this!" Tim said, holding the diamond in his hand. "It is so pretty and sparkly. I wonder where it came from."

"Maybe it fell from the sky," Lily said. "Or maybe someone lost it. Do you think we can keep it?"

Tim nodded. He put the diamond in his pocket. He felt very happy and lucky. He did not know that someone was watching them from behind a tree. It was a bad man who had stolen the diamond from a store. He wanted to get it back.

The bad man waited until Tim and Lily were busy playing on the swings. Then he sneaked up to them and grabbed Tim's pocket. He pulled out the diamond and ran away.

"Hey, stop!" Tim shouted. "That is mine! Give it back!"

Lily saw what happened and ran after the bad man. She was brave and fast. She caught up with him and kicked him in the leg. The bad man stumbled and dropped the diamond. Lily picked it up and ran back to Tim.

"Here, Tim, I got it!" she said, handing him the diamond. "Are you okay?"

Tim hugged Lily and thanked her. He was okay, but he was scared and angry. He did not like the bad man. He was mean and stupid.

Just then, they heard a siren. It was the police. They had been looking for the bad man who had stolen the diamond. They saw him lying on the ground and arrested him. They also saw Tim and Lily with the diamond and asked them where they got it.

Tim and Lily told them the truth. They said they found it in the sand and the bad man tried to take it from them. The police were amazed and proud. They said Tim and Lily were very smart and brave. They also said they had to take the diamond back to the store, but they would give them a reward.

Tim and Lily were sad to lose the diamond, but they understood. They were happy to help the police and the store. They also realized that the diamond was not the most important thing. The most important thing was their friendship. They smiled and hugged each other. They had a great adventure.
Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill. They want to climb it.

"Let's go to the top of the hill," Ben says. "Maybe we can see the west from there."

"What is the west?" Anna asks.

"The west is where the sun goes to sleep," Ben says. "It is very far and pretty."

Anna nods. She likes pretty things. They start to climb the hill. It is hard and steep. They hold hands and help each other.

Halfway up the hill, they meet a man. He has a long beard and a hat. He smiles at them.

"Hello, little ones," he says. "Where are you going?"

"We are going to the top of the hill," Ben says. "We want to see the west."

The man nods. He looks at the sky. It is getting dark.

"You are brave and curious," he says. "But you should mind the time. It will be night soon. The hill is not safe at night. There are wild animals and cold winds."

Anna and Ben feel scared. They do not like wild animals and cold winds.

"Thank you, sir," Anna says. "You are very wise. We will go back now."

The man helps them turn around. He gives them a cookie each.

"Be careful and stay together," he says. "And come back another day. The west is worth seeing."

Anna and Ben say goodbye to the man. They run down the hill. They are happy and hungry. They eat their cookies. They see their mom waiting for them at the park gate.

They hug her and tell her about their adventure. She listens and smiles. She is proud of them. She is also glad they minded the wise man. She takes them home. They have a warm bath and a cozy bed. They dream of the west.
Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together at the park. One day, they want to see the big trains at the station. They ask their moms if they can go.

"Yes, you can go, but be careful and stay close to us," their moms say. They take Anna and Ben to the station by bus. They hold their hands and walk to the platform.

Anna and Ben are very excited. They see many trains coming and going. They hear the loud horns and the wheels on the tracks. They watch the people getting on and off the trains. They see different colors and shapes of trains.

"Look, Ben, that train is very long and red," Anna says, pointing to a train.

"Wow, Anna, that train is very fast and blue," Ben says, pointing to another train.

They see a small and modest train. It is green and yellow. It has only two cars. It stops at the platform. A man comes out of the train. He is wearing a hat and a uniform. He smiles at Anna and Ben.

"Hello, kids, do you like trains?" he asks.

"Yes, we love trains," Anna and Ben say.

"I'm the driver of this train. It's a special train. It takes people to the zoo. Do you want to see the animals?" he asks.

"Yes, we want to see the animals," Anna and Ben say.

"Then come with me. I'll show you the train. You can sit in the front and see the view. But you have to ask your moms first," he says.

Anna and Ben run to their moms. They ask them if they can go with the driver. Their moms say yes, but they have to come back soon. They hug their moms and follow the driver. They get on the train. They sit in the front. They are very happy. They meet a new friend. They see a new train. They go to the zoo. They have a lot of fun.
Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were animals. Tim was a leopard and Lily was a bird. They ran and jumped and flew around the trees and swings.

"Look at me, I can fly so high!" Lily said. She flapped her arms and soared in the air.

"I can run so fast!" Tim said. He crawled on the ground and chased Lily. He wanted to catch her.

They were having fun, but they were also competitive. They wanted to see who was better at being an animal.

"Let's have a race!" Tim said. "From here to the big slide. The first one to get there is the winner."

"OK, let's go!" Lily said. She was ready to fly.

They counted to three and started to run and fly. Tim was fast on the ground, but Lily was faster in the air. She reached the slide first and slid down with a big smile.

"I won, I won!" Lily said. She was happy and proud.

Tim was not happy. He was sad and angry. He wanted to win too.

"That's not fair!" Tim said. "You have wings, I don't. You cheated!"

"I did not cheat!" Lily said. "We are just different animals. You are good at running, I am good at flying. That's OK."

Tim thought about it. He realized Lily was right. They were different, but they were still friends. He decided to be a good sport.

"You are right, Lily. You are a good flyer. I am sorry I was mad at you. Can we play some more?"

"Of course, Tim. You are a good runner. I am sorry I made you sad. Let's play some more."

They hugged and made up. They decided to play a different game. They pretended they were monkeys and swung from the branches. They laughed and had fun. They were happy.
Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they see a big truck on the road. The truck has a sign that says "Factory".

"What is a factory?" Tim asks Sam.

"A factory is a place where they make things. Like toys, or clothes, or food," Sam says.

"Wow, that sounds fun. Can we go to the factory?" Tim says.

"No, we can't. The factory is far away. And we need to ask our moms first," Sam says.

They watch the truck drive away. They wonder what the truck is carrying. Maybe it is sending toys to other kids. Or clothes to keep them warm. Or food to make them happy.

They decide to make their own factory. They find some boxes and paper and crayons. They draw pictures of things they want to make. They cut them out and glue them together. They pretend to send them to other places.

They have a lot of fun. But soon, they get thirsty and hungry. They look for some water and snacks. But they can't find any. They only have dry paper and glue.

"Uh-oh, this is not good. Our factory has no water or food. We can't make anything else," Tim says.

"That's okay. We can stop now. We made enough things. Let's go to the kitchen and ask our moms for some juice and cookies," Sam says.

They leave their factory and go to the kitchen. They see their moms smiling at them. They are proud of their work. They give them juice and cookies. They tell them they are very clever and creative.

Tim and Sam are happy. They thank their moms. They share their juice and cookies. They tell them about their factory. They say they want to go to a real factory someday. Their moms say maybe they can, when they are older. They hug them and kiss them. They love them very much.
Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to go fishing with their dad. Their dad is a fisherman. He catches fish and sells them at the market. He is dependable. He always comes home with fish and money.

One day, Tim and Sam go fishing with their dad on a boat. They see many fish in the water. They use rods and hooks to catch them. Tim catches a big fish. He is happy. He shows it to his dad and Sam.

"Wow, Tim, you caught a big fish!" his dad says. "You are a good fisherman, like me."

"Thank you, dad," Tim says. "Can I keep it?"

"Sure, you can keep it," his dad says. "But you have to share it with Sam and me. We are a family. We support each other."

Sam is sad. He has not caught any fish. He tries hard, but he only gets seaweed and shells. He feels bad. He thinks he is not a good fisherman, like his dad and Tim.

"Dad, I can't catch any fish," Sam says. "I am not a good fisherman, like you and Tim."

His dad hugs him and says, "Don't worry, Sam. You are a good fisherman, too. You just need more practice. And you are good at other things, like drawing and singing. You are dependable, too. You always help me with the boat and the nets. You support me and Tim. We love you."

Sam smiles and says, "Thank you, dad. I love you, too. And I love Tim, too. Can I see his fish?"

"Of course, you can," Tim says. "Here, look at my fish. It is big and shiny. Do you want to touch it?"

"Yes, please," Sam says. He touches the fish and feels its scales and fins. He thinks it is beautiful. He says, "Wow, Tim, your fish is amazing. Can I draw it?"

"Sure, you can draw it," Tim says. "You are good at drawing. You can draw it and we can hang it on the wall. We can share it, like dad said. We are a family. We support each other."

The end.
Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend to be drivers and mechanics.

One day, Tom finds a blue car in the garage. It is very big and shiny. He wants to play with it. He asks his dad, "Can I play with the blue car, dad?"

His dad says, "No, Tom. That is not a toy car. That is a real car. It belongs to Mr. Lee. He is a mechanic. He fixes cars. He brought the blue car here to fix it. He will come back soon to take it away. You cannot play with it. You can play with your own cars."

Tom is sad. He likes the blue car. He thinks it is the best car ever. He says, "But dad, I want to play with the blue car. Can I keep it, please?"

His dad says, "No, Tom. You cannot keep it. It is not yours. It is Mr. Lee's. He needs it for his work. He will be very angry if you touch it. You have to respect other people's things. You have many cars of your own. You can play with them. Why don't you share them with Sam? He is your brother. He likes cars too."

Tom thinks for a moment. He knows his dad is right. He does not want to make Mr. Lee angry. He does not want to be selfish. He loves his brother. He says, "Okay, dad. I will not play with the blue car. I will play with my own cars. I will share them with Sam. Thank you, dad."

His dad smiles. He says, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good boy. I am proud of you. Now go and have fun with Sam. And be careful with the cars. Do not break them."

Tom and Sam go to their room. They take out their cars. They have fun playing with them. They pretend to be drivers and mechanics. They are happy. They are brothers.
Jill and Jack are twins. They like to play together. Jill is gifted at drawing. She can fill a paper with many colors and shapes. Jack is gifted at running. He can exercise very fast and win races.

One day, they want to play different games. Jill wants to draw a big picture of a flower. Jack wants to run around the yard. They argue and get angry.

"Drawing is boring!" Jack says. "You only sit and scribble."

"Running is silly!" Jill says. "You only run and sweat."

They do not share or listen. They go to their own corners and play alone.

But soon, they feel lonely and sad. They miss each other. They look at their games and think they are not fun without their twin.

Jill sees Jack's running shoes. She thinks they are shiny and cool. Jack sees Jill's crayons. He thinks they are bright and pretty.

They walk to each other and say sorry.

"Can I try your shoes?" Jill asks.

"Can I try your crayons?" Jack asks.

They nod and smile. They swap their games and try something new. Jill runs with Jack's shoes. She feels the wind in her hair. Jack draws with Jill's crayons. He makes a rainbow on the paper.

They have fun and learn. They hug and say thank you.

They are happy and proud. They are gifted and kind. They are twins and friends.
Tom and Lily were at the toy store with their mom. They saw a big teddy bear that they both liked. It was brown and soft and had a red bow. The teddy bear was rare, the store lady said. There was only one left.

"I want the teddy bear!" Tom said.

"No, I want the teddy bear!" Lily said.

They both grabbed the teddy bear and pulled. The teddy bear made a sad sound.

"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. "You can't both have the teddy bear. It's too expensive. The price is very high."

"How high?" Tom asked.

"Ten dollars," the store lady said.

Tom and Lily gasped. They only had five dollars each. They looked at the teddy bear and then at each other.

"Maybe we can share the teddy bear," Tom said.

"Maybe we can take turns to hug it," Lily said.

They nodded and smiled. They let go of the teddy bear and gave it to their mom. Their mom paid the store lady and gave them the teddy bear.

"Thank you, mom," Tom and Lily said.

"You're welcome, my loves," their mom said. "But remember, you have to be nice and fair to each other. The teddy bear is rare, but your friendship is rarer."
Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend that the cars are racing on the road.

One day, they decide to race their cars on the sidewalk. They make a start line and a finish line with chalk. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and push their cars as fast as they can.

But they do not see the traffic on the road. The traffic is loud and busy. There are big trucks and buses and bikes and people. The traffic is not harmless. It can hurt them if they are not careful.

As they race their cars, one of their cars goes too fast and rolls off the sidewalk. It goes into the road, right in front of a truck. The truck driver sees the car and slams on the brakes. He honks his horn and shouts, "Hey, watch out!"

Tom and Sam hear the horn and the shout. They look up and see the truck and their car. They are scared. They run to the road and grab their car. They say, "Sorry, sorry, sorry!" to the truck driver.

The truck driver is angry, but he is also glad that they are not hurt. He says, "You boys are lucky. You should not race your cars on the sidewalk. You should play somewhere safe. Do you understand?"

Tom and Sam nod and say, "Yes, we understand. We are sorry. We will not do it again." They take their cars and go back to the sidewalk. They decide to race their cars in the park instead. They learn their lesson. They are more careful when they play.
Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a map and a shovel and a big hat.

They followed the map to a big tree. The map said the treasure was under the tree. They dug and dug with the shovel. They found a box. They opened the box. Inside the box was a shiny necklace.

"Wow!" Lily said. "This is the treasure! It is so pretty!"

Tom nodded. He wanted to try the necklace. He asked Lily if he could wear it. Lily said yes. She trusted Tom. He was her friend.

Tom put the necklace around his neck. He felt cold. He felt strange. He looked at Lily. He did not smile. He said, "This is my treasure now. You can't have it. Go away!"

Lily was sad. She did not understand. Why was Tom so mean? Why did he not share? She said, "Tom, please. Give me back the necklace. It is ours. We found it together."

Tom shook his head. He ran away. He left Lily alone. He took the treasure with him.

Lily cried. She felt cold too. She wished Tom was her friend again. She wished they could play pirates again. She wished they could trust each other again.
Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and find bugs and worms. They had a big bucket to put their finds in. They were very happy.

But then it started to rain. The rain was heavy and cold. Ben and Lily ran to the porch to stay dry. They left their bucket in the garden. They did not cover it.

The next day, the sun was shining again. Ben and Lily wanted to play with their bugs and worms. They ran to the garden and looked for their bucket. But they could not find it. It was under a big puddle of water.

They pulled the bucket out of the puddle. It was very wet and smelly. The bugs and worms were gone. They had drowned in the water. Ben and Lily felt sad and sorry.

"Look what we did," Ben said. "We forgot to cover our bucket. We were not good to our bugs and worms. They were our friends."

"We were bad," Lily said. "We should have taken care of them. We should have brought them inside or covered them with a lid."

Ben and Lily learned a lesson. They learned to be kind and responsible to all living things. They learned to cover their things when it rains. They said sorry to the bugs and worms and buried them in the dirt. They hoped they would find new friends in the garden.
Mia loves animals. She wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. She likes to play with her stuffed animals and pretend they are sick. She gives them medicine and bandages and hugs.

One day, Mia finds a bird on the grass. The bird is weak and cannot fly. Mia feels sad for the bird. She picks it up gently and brings it to her house. She puts it in a box with some water and seeds.

She tells her mom, "Mom, I found a bird. It is weak. I want to help it. Can I be a veterinarian?"

Her mom smiles and says, "You are very kind, Mia. You can try to help the bird, but you have to be careful. Sometimes, wild animals are scared of people. They might bite or scratch. And sometimes, they have germs that can make you sick. You have to wash your hands after you touch the bird."

Mia nods and says, "OK, mom. I will try to be careful. I will wash my hands. I hope the bird gets better soon."

She goes to the box and talks to the bird softly. She says, "Don't be afraid, bird. I am your friend. I want you to be happy and healthy. I will give you some medicine and a bandage. Then you can fly again."

She takes a dropper and fills it with water. She tries to give the bird some water, but the bird is scared and flaps its wings. Mia drops the dropper and the water spills. She says, "Oops, sorry, bird. I didn't mean to scare you. Please, let me help you."

She tries again, but the bird is still scared. It pecks at her finger and makes a loud noise. Mia cries out and drops the box. The bird flies out of the box and out of the window. Mia runs to the window and sees the bird fly away. She says, "Bye, bird. I hope you are OK. I tried to help you. Maybe you will find your family."

She turns to her mom and says, "Mom, the bird is gone. It didn't like me. It hurt me. I couldn't help it."

Her mom hugs her and says, "It's OK, Mia. You did your best. You are a good veterinarian. Sometimes, animals don't want our help. They want to be free. But you showed them kindness and compassion. That is very important. I am proud of you."

Mia smiles and says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I love animals. I still want to be a veterinarian."

Her mom says, "I love you too, Mia. And I believe in you. You can be anything you want to be."
Ben and Mia liked to play with their tools. They had hammers, saws, screws and nails. They made things with wood and cardboard. They were very happy.

One day, Ben saw a new tool on the shelf. It was shiny and had a button. He wanted to try it. He took it and went to the backyard. He found a big rock and pointed the tool at it. He pressed the button.

Zap! The rock vanished. It was gone. Ben was amazed. He laughed and clapped his hands. He looked for more things to vanish.

Mia heard Ben and came to see what he was doing. She saw him with the new tool. She was curious. She asked him, "What is that? What does it do?"

Ben smiled and said, "It is a vanish tool. It makes things go away. Watch!" He pointed the tool at a flower. He pressed the button.

Zap! The flower vanished. It was gone. Mia was shocked. She did not like it. She said, "No, Ben, no! That is not nice. You are making things different. You are making things sad. Stop it!"

Ben did not listen. He thought it was fun. He pointed the tool at a bird. He pressed the button.

Zap! The bird vanished. It was gone. Mia was angry. She shouted, "Ben, stop! You are being bad. You are hurting things. Give me the tool!"

Ben did not want to give the tool. He ran away. He pointed the tool at Mia. He pressed the button.

Zap! Mia vanished. She was gone. Ben was scared. He did not mean to vanish Mia. He wanted her back. He cried and said, "Mia, Mia, where are you? I am sorry. I love you. Come back!"

But Mia did not come back. She was gone. Ben was alone. He dropped the tool and ran to the house. He looked for his mom and dad. He hoped they could help him. He hoped Mia was not gone forever. He hoped he could make things right. He learned a lesson. He learned that some tools are not for playing. He learned that some things are not fun. He learned that he should be careful and kind. He learned that he should not vanish things. He learned that he should love things. He learned that he should love Mia.
Lisa loves to draw animals. She has many crayons and papers. She likes to look at books and pictures of animals and copy them. Today, she is drawing a leopard. A leopard is a big cat with spots. It lives in the forest and runs very fast.

She draws the leopard's head, body, legs and tail. She uses yellow and brown crayons for the spots. She thinks the leopard is beautiful. She wants to show her drawing to her mom. She says, "Mom, look at my leopard! I draw it by myself!"

Mom comes to see Lisa's drawing. She smiles and hugs Lisa. She says, "Wow, Lisa, your leopard is very beautiful! You are a great artist! Did you finish your drawing?"

Lisa nods and says, "Yes, I finish it. But I want to draw more animals. Can I have more papers, please?"

Mom says, "Of course, you can have more papers. You can draw as many animals as you want. But first, let's hang your leopard on the fridge. It is a very special drawing. I am very proud of you, Lisa."

Lisa and Mom go to the kitchen. They find a magnet and hang Lisa's leopard on the fridge. Lisa is very happy. She says, "Thank you, Mom. I love you. And I love my leopard, too."
Lila was a little dragon who loved to polish her scales. She had a big brush and a shiny cloth that she used every day to make her scales sparkle. She liked to look at herself in the lake and see how bright and colorful she was.

One day, she saw a new dragon flying in the sky. He was bigger than her and had dark scales that looked dull and dusty. He landed near the lake and looked at Lila with curiosity.

"Hello, I'm Lila. Who are you?" she asked, eager to make a new friend.

"I'm Roko. I'm new here. What are you doing?" he replied, looking at her brush and cloth.

"I'm polishing my scales. Do you want to try? It's fun and it makes you look pretty," she offered, smiling.

Roko shook his head. "No, thank you. I don't care about my scales. I like to fly and explore and have adventures. Polishing is boring and silly," he said, snorting.

Lila felt sad and hurt. She thought polishing was a good thing to do and she wanted to share it with Roko. She didn't understand why he didn't like it.

"Polishing is not boring and silly. It's important and nice. It makes you feel good and it shows that you take care of yourself. Don't you want to feel good and take care of yourself?" she asked, hoping to change his mind.

Roko shrugged. "I feel good enough. And I take care of myself by finding food and water and shelter. I don't need to polish my scales for that. Besides, I like my scales the way they are. They blend in with the shadows and help me hide from danger. Your scales are too bright and flashy. They attract attention and trouble," he said, turning away.

Lila felt even sadder and more hurt. She thought her scales were beautiful and special and she was proud of them. She didn't understand why Roko didn't see that.

"Polishing is not about hiding or attracting. It's about expressing and enjoying. It's about showing who you are and what you like. Don't you want to show who you are and what you like?" she asked, trying one more time.

Roko sighed. "I show who I am and what I like by what I do and what I say. I don't need to polish my scales for that. And I don't care what others think of me or my scales. I only care about myself and my freedom. You should do the same. Stop polishing and start living," he said, flying away.

Lila watched him go, feeling lonely and confused. She wondered if he was right and if she was wasting her time and missing out on life by polishing her scales. She looked at her brush and cloth, then at her reflection in the lake. She saw her scales shining in the sun, reflecting the colors of the rainbow. She felt a warm and happy feeling in her heart. She smiled and decided to keep polishing her scales. She liked who she was and what she liked. And she hoped to find someone who liked her and her scales too.
Sara and Ben were playing outside. They liked to look at the sky and see the clouds. They saw big clouds and small clouds, white clouds and gray clouds, fluffy clouds and thin clouds.

"Look, Sara, that cloud looks like a cat!" Ben said, pointing at a cloud with ears and a tail.

"I see it, Ben, it is a funny cloud. And that cloud looks like a hat!" Sara said, pointing at another cloud with a round shape and a pointy top.

They laughed and made up stories about the clouds. They wondered what the clouds were doing and where they were going.

Suddenly, they heard a voice from the sky. It was a deep and kind voice.

"Hello, Sara and Ben. I am a wise cloud. I know many things about the sky and the earth. Do you want to learn from me?" the voice said.

Sara and Ben were surprised and curious. They looked up and saw a big cloud with a face and a beard. He smiled at them.

"Hello, wise cloud. We want to learn from you. You are very nice to talk to us," Sara said.

"Yes, hello, wise cloud. We have many questions for you. How do you know so much?" Ben said.

The wise cloud was happy to hear them. He liked to share his knowledge with children.

"I know so much because I have seen many things. I have traveled across the sky and watched the sun, the moon, the stars, and the rainbows. I have also seen the mountains, the rivers, the forests, and the animals. I have learned from them and from other clouds. I can tell you stories and secrets if you want to listen," the wise cloud said.

Sara and Ben nodded eagerly. They wanted to listen to the wise cloud's stories and secrets. They felt very lucky to meet him.

"Thank you, wise cloud. You are very kind to teach us. We welcome you as our friend," Sara and Ben said together.

The wise cloud smiled again. He was glad to have new friends. He started to tell them his first story. Sara and Ben listened with wonder and joy. They learned a lot from the wise cloud. They had a lot of fun with him. They hoped he would come back again.
Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a bow and an arrow that their dad made for them. They liked to pretend they were hunters in the forest.

"Look, Lily, a bird!" Ben said, pointing to a blue jay on a branch. "Let's try to hit it with the arrow!"

"No, Ben, that's not nice!" Lily said, shaking her head. "The bird is pretty and it sings. We should not hurt it."

"But it's fun to shoot the arrow!" Ben said, holding the bow. "It flies fast and far. Come on, Lily, don't be scared!"

Lily did not want to argue with Ben. She loved her brother, but she did not like his game. She gazed at the bird and hoped it would fly away. She thought it was perfect, with its bright feathers and sweet voice.

Suddenly, the bird saw Ben and his arrow. It was scared and it flew away. Ben tried to shoot the arrow, but he missed. The arrow landed on the grass.

"Aw, I missed!" Ben said, frowning. "That was a good shot, though. Did you see how far it went?"

Lily nodded, but she did not care. She was glad the bird was safe. She ran to the arrow and picked it up.

"Let's play something else, Ben," she said, smiling. "How about we make a fort with the sticks and the leaves? That would be fun!"

Ben thought for a moment. He liked to make forts, too. He smiled back at Lily.

"Okay, Lily, let's do that," he said, dropping the bow. "You are a good sister. I'm sorry I scared the bird."

They hugged and ran to the pile of sticks and leaves. They forgot about the bow and the arrow. They had a new game to play.
Lily likes to read books. She has many books at home. She likes to read about animals, colors, and shapes. She likes to read with her mom and dad.

Today, Lily goes to school. She is happy to see her friends and teacher. They play, sing, and learn. Lily likes school.

After lunch, the teacher says it is time for quiet reading. She gives each child a book. Lily gets a book about a cat. She likes cats. She opens the book and looks at the pictures. She tries to read the words.

"Meow, meow," says the cat in the book. Lily smiles. She likes the sound of the cat. She says the word out loud.

"Meow, meow," she says.

"Shh, Lily," says the teacher. "This is quiet reading. You have to read in your head, not out loud."

Lily feels sad. She did not know she had to be quiet. She likes to read out loud. She closes the book and puts it down. She does not want to read anymore.

The teacher sees Lily is sad. She walks to her and sits next to her. She picks up the book and opens it.

"Lily, I'm sorry I shushed you," she says. "You are doing a great job reading. You can read out loud, but you have to whisper. Can you whisper?"

Lily nods. She likes the teacher. She whispers, "Meow, meow."

The teacher whispers, "That's right. Good job, Lily. Can you whisper the next word?"

Lily looks at the book. She sees the word "hat". She whispers, "Hat."

The teacher whispers, "Yes, hat. The cat has a hat. What color is the hat?"

Lily whispers, "Red."

The teacher whispers, "Yes, red. You are very smart, Lily. Do you want to keep reading?"

Lily nods. She likes to read. She likes to whisper. She smiles. She whispers, "Thank you, teacher."

The teacher smiles. She whispers, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm proud of you."
Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big cable on the ground. It is black and dirty.

"Look, a cable!" Lily says. "Let's visit it!"

Tom is not sure. He thinks the cable is scary. "Maybe we should not touch it," he says.

But Lily is curious. She runs to the cable and grabs it. "It is cold and hard," she says. "And it makes a funny noise."

Tom hears the noise too. It is like a buzz. He feels afraid. "Lily, let go of the cable!" he shouts. "It is not safe!"

But Lily does not listen. She pulls the cable harder. She wants to see what is inside. Suddenly, there is a big flash. The cable sparks and burns. Lily screams. She falls to the ground. She does not move.

Tom runs to Lily. He cries. He calls for help. But no one comes. The cable is too dangerous. Lily and Tom are alone. They are hurt. They are sad. The end.
Tim and Lily were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They also liked to look for shells and crabs. Sometimes they saw big fish and birds in the sea.

One day, they saw something very big and gray in the water. It was a whale! The whale was swimming and jumping and making loud noises. Tim and Lily were very excited and wanted to get closer to the whale.

"Can we go see the whale, mom?" Tim asked.

"Can we, can we, please?" Lily said.

Mom and dad smiled and said, "OK, but we have to be very careful and patient. The whale is very big and strong and we don't want to scare it or hurt it. We have to stay on the boat and watch from far away."

Tim and Lily nodded and followed their mom and dad to the boat. They put on their life jackets and got on the boat. The boat was small and slow, but it was safe and cozy. They sailed to the water where the whale was.

The whale was still there, swimming and jumping and making loud noises. Tim and Lily clapped and cheered and waved at the whale. The whale seemed to notice them and came closer to the boat. It looked at them with its big eye and sprayed water from its nose. Tim and Lily laughed and said, "Hello, whale!"

The whale said something back, but Tim and Lily did not understand. They thought it sounded like, "Woo, woo, woo!" They said, "Woo, woo, woo!" back to the whale. The whale seemed to like that and did a big jump in the air. Tim and Lily were amazed and happy.

They stayed with the whale for a long time, talking and playing and watching. They felt like they made a new friend. They thanked the whale for being so nice and fun. The whale thanked them for being so patient and kind. Then they said goodbye and sailed back to the shore.

Tim and Lily told their mom and dad everything that happened with the whale. Mom and dad were very proud and happy for them. They said, "You had a very special day today. You met a whale and learned something new. You were very brave and curious and respectful. We love you very much."

Tim and Lily hugged their mom and dad and said, "We love you too. And we love the whale. Can we see the whale again tomorrow?"

Mom and dad smiled and said, "Maybe, if we are lucky and patient. The whale is free and wild and goes where it wants. But we can always remember the whale and the day we had. And maybe the whale will remember us too."
Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. But sometimes they do not behave. They make noise and mess when Mom and Dad want to sleep.

One morning, Sara and Ben wake up early. They see the sun and the birds. They want to go outside and play. But Mom and Dad are still sleeping. Sara and Ben have an idea. They go to Mom and Dad's room. They find some paint and brushes. They think it is funny to paint Mom and Dad's faces pink.

They paint Mom's nose, Dad's ears, and their cheeks. They giggle and whisper. They do not hear Mom and Dad wake up. Mom and Dad open their eyes and see each other. They are very surprised and angry. They see Sara and Ben with paint and brushes. They know what they did.

Mom and Dad say, "Sara and Ben, you did not behave. You made a big mess. You have to clean it up. And you have to say sorry. Painting faces is not funny. It is rude and naughty."

Sara and Ben feel bad. They did not want to make Mom and Dad angry. They say sorry and help clean up. They hug Mom and Dad and promise to behave. Mom and Dad forgive them and hug them back. They say, "We love you, Sara and Ben. But next time, please do not paint our faces. And please let us sleep in the morning."
Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big, ugly dog with no collar. The dog was barking and growling at everyone. Tom and Lily were scared, but they also wanted to touch the dog.

"Let's go and pet the dog," Tom said. "Maybe he is lonely and needs a friend."

"No, Tom, that is a bad idea," Lily said. "The dog might bite us or run away. Mommy said we should not touch strange dogs. We should stay away from him."

But Tom did not listen to Lily. He ran towards the dog and tried to grab his fur. The dog did not like that. He snapped at Tom and made him cry. Then he ran away, but not before he knocked over a trash can and made a big mess.

Lily ran to Tom and hugged him. She was glad he was not hurt, but she was also angry. "Tom, you are in trouble!" she said. "You did not obey Mommy. You made the dog angry. You made the park dirty. Now we have to go home and tell Mommy what happened."

Tom felt sorry for what he did. He wished he had listened to Lily. He learned his lesson. He said to Lily, "You are right, Lily. I was wrong. I should not have tried to pet the dog. He was too ugly and mean. He vanished, but he left trouble behind. I am sorry, Lily. Can you forgive me?"

Lily smiled and said, "Of course I can, Tom. You are my brother and I love you. But next time, please be careful and follow the rules. Then we can have fun and stay safe."

Tom nodded and said, "I will, Lily. I love you too. Come on, let's go home and tell Mommy the truth. Maybe she will not be too mad at us."

They held hands and walked home. They hoped the dog would find a nice home and be happy. They also hoped the park people would clean up the trash. They decided to never touch strange dogs again. They learned that some things are better left alone.
One day, a little boy named Tom wanted to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes, but his favorite one was a red car with a big zero on the door. He liked to make the car zoom and beep on the floor.

But when he looked for his red car, he could not find it. He searched under his bed, in his closet, and in his toy box, but the car was not there. He felt sad and angry. Where was his car?

He asked his mom, who was in the kitchen. "Mom, have you seen my red car? The one with the zero?"

Mom shook her head. "No, Tom, I have not seen your car. Maybe you left it somewhere else. Why don't you look in the living room?"

Tom nodded and ran to the living room. He looked on the sofa, on the table, and on the shelf, but the car was not there either. He felt more sad and angry. He wanted his car.

He heard a noise from the other room. It sounded like a car zooming and beeping. He followed the noise and saw his baby sister, Lily, sitting on the floor. She had his red car in her hand. She was making it zoom and beep on the carpet. She had a big smile on her face.

Tom felt very angry. He shouted, "Lily, that's my car! Give it back to me!"

Lily looked at him and shook her head. She said, "No, Tom, this is my car. It has a zero. Zero is my favorite number."

Tom tried to grab the car from her, but she held it tight. They started to pull and tug on the car. They both wanted the car.

Mom heard them fighting and came to the room. She saw them struggling with the car. She said, "Stop, Tom and Lily! You are not being nice to each other. You have to share your toys."

Tom and Lily looked at Mom. They did not want to share. They both wanted the car.

Mom said, "How about this? You can take turns playing with the car. Tom, you can play with it for five minutes, and then you have to give it to Lily. Lily, you can play with it for five minutes, and then you have to give it back to Tom. OK?"

Tom and Lily thought about it. They did not like the idea, but they knew Mom was right. They nodded and said, "OK, Mom."

Mom smiled and said, "Good. Now, let's set the timer. Tom, you can go first. Here is the car."

She gave the car to Tom. He took it and said, "Thank you, Mom."

He made the car zoom and beep on the floor. He was happy.

Lily watched him and waited. She crawled to the open window and looked outside. She saw a bird flying in the sky. She pointed and said, "Look, Mom, a bird!"

Mom looked and said, "Yes, Lily, that's a bird. It's very pretty."

Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Mom, it's very pretty."

She forgot about the car for a while. She was happy too.
Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play games together. One day, they play a game with a medal. The medal is shiny and pretty. Anna and Ben both want the medal.

They start to quarrel. They pull the medal from each other. They say, "It is mine!" They do not share. They do not have fun.

Mom sees them quarrel. She is not happy. She says, "Stop! The medal is not yours. It is a prize for the successful person who wins the game. You have to play fair and nice. Then you can have a chance to get the medal."

Anna and Ben listen to Mom. They say sorry to each other. They play the game again. They take turns. They help each other. They have fun.

At the end, Mom gives the medal to the successful person who wins the game. It is Anna. She is happy. She says, "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. Do you want to share the medal with me?"

Ben smiles. He says, "Yes, thank you, Anna. You are a good friend too. We can share the medal. We can play more games together."

Anna and Ben hug. They are happy. They are friends.
Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in Tom's room. Tom has many toys and books. Jen likes to look at the books and learn new words.

One day, Tom's mom says they can travel to the park. Tom and Jen are happy. They put on their coats and shoes. They hold hands and walk with Tom's mom.

At the park, they see a big slide. Tom and Jen want to go on the slide. They run to the slide and wait for their turn. Tom goes first. He slides down fast and laughs. Jen goes next. She slides down slower and smiles.

But then, a big boy comes. He is mean. He pushes Jen off the slide. Jen falls and hurts her knee. She cries. Tom is angry. He shouts at the big boy.

"Hey, you are bad! You hurt my friend! Go away!"

The big boy does not go away. He hits Tom in the face. Tom falls and hurts his nose. He cries too. Tom's mom sees what happens. She runs to Tom and Jen. She hugs them and says sorry.

"Are you okay, Tom and Jen? That boy is very rude. He should not do that. Come on, let's go home."

Tom and Jen are sad. They do not want to play at the park anymore. They want to go back to Tom's room. They say goodbye to the slide and the park. They travel with Tom's mom to Tom's house. They go to Tom's room and play with the toys and books. They try to forget the bad boy and the bad day. They hope tomorrow will be a nice day.
Tom and Lily were playing with blocks. They liked to make towers and houses with different shapes and colors. Tom had a lot of square blocks, but Lily had more round and triangle blocks.

"Look at my tower, Lily!" Tom said. "It is very tall and strong. It has many square blocks."

Lily looked at Tom's tower. She thought it was nice, but she had an idea to make it better. "Tom, can I help you improve your tower?" she asked.

"What does improve mean?" Tom asked.

"It means to make something better or more fun," Lily said. "I have some round and triangle blocks that we can use to decorate your tower. They will make it look more pretty and interesting."

Tom thought about it. He liked his square blocks, but he also liked Lily's blocks. He wanted to see how they would look on his tower. He decided to let Lily help him. "Okay, Lily, you can help me improve my tower. You are a helpful friend," he said.

Lily smiled and gave Tom a hug. She took some of her blocks and started to put them on Tom's tower. She made a round window, a triangle roof, and some colorful patterns. Tom watched and helped her. He liked how his tower looked with Lily's blocks. It was more fun and creative.

"Wow, Lily, you improved my tower a lot!" Tom said. "It is very pretty and interesting. Thank you for being a helpful friend."

"You're welcome, Tom," Lily said. "I like your tower too. It is very tall and strong. Thank you for sharing your square blocks with me."

Tom and Lily were happy. They played with their improved tower for a long time. They learned that sharing and helping can make things better and more fun.
Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the bath. They had many toys, like ducks and boats and cups. They also had soap that made bubbles. Lily enjoyed making bubbles with the soap. She blew them with her mouth and caught them with her hands. She laughed when they popped on her nose.

Max did not enjoy the bubbles. He thought they were silly and messy. He wanted to play with his boats and make them go fast. He did not like when Lily's bubbles got in his way. He tried to push them away, but they stuck to his hair and face. He got angry and said, "Stop it, Lily! I don't like bubbles! They are bad!"

Lily was sad when Max yelled at her. She liked bubbles and wanted to share them with Max. She did not understand why he was mad. She said, "But Max, bubbles are fun! They are gentle and soft and pretty! Look, they make rainbows in the light! Don't you like rainbows?"

Max looked at the bubbles and saw the colors. He had never noticed them before. He liked rainbows. He wondered if the bubbles were really gentle and soft and pretty. He reached out and touched one. It felt nice on his skin. He smiled and said, "Maybe bubbles are not so bad. Can I try to blow one?"

Lily was happy when Max changed his mind. She gave him some soap and showed him how to blow. They both blew bubbles and watched them float and shine. They giggled and clapped and hugged. They enjoyed playing with the soap and the bubbles. They forgot about their boats and ducks and cups. They only wanted to make more bubbles. They were twins who liked to play in the bath.
One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They saw many birds, flowers and bugs.

"Look, Lily, a snake!" Tom said, pointing to a long, thin animal on the grass. It had black and yellow stripes and a forked tongue.

"Wow, a snake!" Lily said, running towards it. "Can I touch it?"

"No, Lily, stop!" Mom said, grabbing her hand. "That snake is bad. It can bite you and make you sick. We have to stay away from it."

"But I want to see it!" Lily said, pulling her hand. "It is so pretty and shiny!"

"Me too!" Tom said, following her. "Maybe we can play with it."

They ran to the snake, but the snake did not like them. It hissed and coiled, ready to strike. It was angry and scared.

"Go away, go away!" the snake said. "You are big and loud. You want to hurt me. You want to destroy me."

"No, we don't!" Tom said. "We just want to be your friends. You are so cool and wide. We like you."

But the snake did not believe them. It lunged at Tom, trying to bite his leg. Tom screamed and jumped back. Lily screamed too. Mom ran to them and picked them up.

"Are you okay, Tom?" Mom asked, checking his leg. "Did it bite you?"

"No, Mom, I'm okay," Tom said, shaking. "But it was scary. It tried to destroy me."

"I'm sorry, Tom," Mom said, hugging him. "That snake was not nice. It was dangerous. We should never touch or play with snakes. They are not toys. They are wild animals."

"I know, Mom," Tom said, nodding. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again."

"Me neither," Lily said, sniffling. "I'm sorry too. I didn't know."

Mom kissed them and smiled. "It's okay, my loves. You are safe now. Let's go home and have some cookies. And maybe we can read a book about snakes. Then you can learn more about them, but from far away."

"Okay, Mom," Tom and Lily said, smiling too. "We love you."

They left the park, holding Mom's hands. They did not look back at the snake. The snake was glad. It slithered away, looking for a quiet place to hide. It did not want to see them again.
Anna and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. They had a bucket and a shovel each. They were very organized. They put the big shells in one bucket and the small shells in another.

"Look, Anna, I found a crab!" Ben shouted. He held up a small red crab that was moving its claws. "It's so cute!"

"Can I see?" Anna asked. She reached out her hand to touch the crab.

"Be careful, it might pinch you!" Ben warned. He gave the crab to Anna.

Anna held the crab gently. She felt its hard shell and its soft legs. She smiled. "It's so cool!"

But then the crab did something bad. It used its claw to tear Anna's dress. It made a big hole in the pink fabric.

"Ow! Bad crab!" Anna cried. She dropped the crab on the sand. She looked at her dress and felt sad.

"I'm sorry, Anna. The crab didn't mean to hurt you. It was scared," Ben said. He picked up the crab and put it back in the water. "Bye, crab. Be nice next time."

Anna nodded. She was still sad, but she was not angry. She hugged Ben. "It's okay, Ben. You are a good brother. Thank you for sharing the crab with me."

They went back to their buckets and shovels. They continued to play on the beach. They had fun. They forgot about the hole in Anna's dress.
Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with toys. They have many toys in their room. But their room is messy. Their mom says they have to organize their toys.

"Let's put the cars in this box," Tom says. He picks up a red car and puts it in the box. "And the dolls in this basket," Anna says. She picks up a yellow doll and puts it in the basket.

They work hard to organize their toys. They find a fly on the window. The fly is small and black. It buzzes and moves its wings.

"Look, a fly!" Tom says. He runs to the window. He wants to catch the fly. "Be careful, Tom," Anna says. She follows him.

Tom reaches for the fly. But he bumps into a shelf. The shelf has books on it. The books are heavy. They fall on Tom's head. Tom cries. Anna hugs him.

"Are you okay, Tom?" Anna asks. She helps him get up. "I'm sorry, Anna," Tom says. "I made a mess again." He rubs his head. "It's okay, Tom," Anna says. "We can organize the books too. And the fly is gone. Let's finish our work and then we can play." They smile and nod. They organize the books and the toys. Their mom is happy. They are happy too.
One day, Tom and Lily were playing outside with their toys. They liked to make cars and houses with blocks and pretend they were driving and living in them. They were very happy and they loved each other very much.

Suddenly, they heard a loud noise and saw a big, dark cloud in the sky. It was spinning and moving fast. It was a tornado! Tom and Lily were scared and ran to their mom, who was inside the house.

"Mom, mom, there is a tornado!" they shouted.

Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves, we are safe here. We have a basement where we can hide until the tornado goes away. Come with me, quickly!"

Mom took them and their toys to the basement and closed the door. They heard the wind howling and the house shaking, but they stayed calm and cuddled with mom. Mom told them stories and sang songs to make them feel better.

After a while, the noise stopped and mom opened the door. She looked outside and saw that the tornado was gone. But it had made a big mess. Some trees were broken, some roofs were gone, and some cars were flipped over.

"Oh no, look at all the damage!" mom said. "I hope everyone is okay."

Tom and Lily felt sad for their neighbors and friends. They wanted to help them. They were very thoughtful.

"Mom, can we share our toys with the kids who lost theirs?" Tom asked.

"Yes, of course, that is very kind of you," mom said.

"Mom, can we give some food and water to the people who are hungry and thirsty?" Lily asked.

"Yes, of course, that is very generous of you," mom said.

Tom and Lily smiled and hugged mom. They were glad they were safe and they had each other. They loved their mom and their mom loved them. They went outside and helped their community. They were brave and caring. They were happy.
Anna liked to dream. She dreamed of many things. She dreamed of flying in the sky, of swimming with the fish, of playing with the stars. She dreamed every night when she slept.

One night, she had a very strange dream. She dreamed that she was in a big bathtub, full of bubbles and shampoo. She liked the smell of the shampoo. It was like flowers and fruits. She splashed and laughed in the water.

But then, she heard a loud noise. It was a big monster. It had sharp teeth and red eyes. It wanted to eat her. It came closer and closer to the bathtub. Anna was scared. She screamed for help.

"Anna, Anna, wake up!" She heard a voice. It was her mommy. She opened her eyes and saw her mommy's face. She hugged her mommy and cried. "Mommy, there was a monster in my dream. It wanted to eat me."

"It's okay, Anna. It was just a dream. There is no monster. You are safe with me. I am here for you. I am dependable. You can trust me." Mommy said. She kissed Anna's forehead and stroked her hair. She smelled the shampoo in Anna's hair. It was like flowers and fruits. She smiled and said, "You have a very nice shampoo, Anna. Where did you get it?"

Anna sniffed her hair and smiled too. She said, "I got it from the fairy in my dream. She gave it to me before the monster came. She said it was magic shampoo. It makes me dream of nice things."

Mommy smiled and said, "That's wonderful, Anna. Maybe you can dream of the fairy again tonight. And maybe you can share some of your shampoo with me. I would like to dream of nice things too."

Anna nodded and said, "Okay, mommy. I will share my shampoo with you. And I will dream of the fairy and you and me. And no more monsters."

Mommy hugged Anna and said, "I love you, Anna. You are my sweet dream."

"I love you too, mommy. You are my dependable mommy." Anna said.

They snuggled together and fell asleep, dreaming of nice things.
Lily was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new places. She always wanted to receive a leather jacket like her big brother, who rode a bike and went on trips. She thought a leather jacket would make her look cool and brave.

One day, her brother left his leather jacket on his bed and went out with his friends. Lily saw it and decided to try it on. She put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt happy and proud. She wanted to show her jacket to her friend Anna, who lived next door.

She ran out of the house and crossed the street, without looking for cars. She did not hear the horn of the big truck that was coming fast. The driver tried to stop, but it was too late. He hit Lily and she fell to the ground. She was hurt and bleeding. She dropped the leather jacket and cried.

Anna saw what happened and ran to help Lily. She called for help and waited for the ambulance. She was scared and sad. She wished Lily had not taken the leather jacket and had been more careful.

Lily was taken to the hospital, but she did not survive. Her brother came back and found out what happened. He was angry and sad. He blamed himself for leaving his jacket. He wished he had given it to Lily as a gift. He missed his sister and his jacket. He never rode his bike again.
Tom and Lily were on a boat with their mom and dad. They were going to a big island for a holiday. Tom and Lily liked the boat. They saw fish and birds and waves.

But then the boat stopped. Mom and dad looked worried. They said the boat had no more gas. They had to call for help. They used a big phone with a long wire. They said they were lost and needed gas.

They waited and waited. Tom and Lily were hungry and bored. They wanted to go to the island. They saw the island far away. It looked green and nice.

Then they heard another boat. It was coming closer. It had a big sign that said "Supply". Mom and dad smiled. They said the supply boat had gas and food and water. They said they were saved.

The supply boat came next to their boat. An elderly man was on the supply boat. He had a white beard and a blue hat. He smiled and waved. He said hello and asked what happened. Mom and dad told him. He said he was sorry and he would help them.

He gave them gas and food and water. He also gave Tom and Lily some candy and toys. He said he was going to the island too. He said he lived there. He said he knew a lot of stories about the island. He said he would tell them if they wanted.

Tom and Lily said yes. They liked the elderly man. They liked his candy and toys. They liked his stories. They thanked him and said he was very nice. He said they were very nice too. He said he was happy to meet them.

They all went to the island together. They had a good holiday. They made a new friend. They learned a lot. They had fun.
Lily wanted to help Mommy with the laundry. She saw a big basket of dirty clothes and a small bottle of soap. She picked up a shirt that was blue and soft. She liked this shirt very much.

"Can I wash this shirt, Mommy?" Lily asked.

Mommy smiled and said, "Yes, you can, Lily. But you have to be very careful. This shirt is fragile. That means it can break easily if you pull it or rub it too hard."

Lily nodded and took the shirt to the sink. She turned on the water and made it warm. She poured some soap on the shirt and rubbed it gently with her hands. She saw bubbles and dirt come out of the shirt. She was happy.

She rinsed the shirt with clean water and squeezed it lightly. She did not want to hurt the shirt. She hung the shirt on a hanger and showed it to Mommy.

"Look, Mommy, I washed the shirt!" Lily said proudly.

Mommy hugged Lily and said, "You did a great job, Lily. The shirt is clean and smells nice. Thank you for helping me. You are a good helper."
Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big red balloon in the sky. It is very attractive. They want to catch it.

"Look, Ben, a balloon!" Lily says.

"Wow, it is so pretty!" Ben says.

They run after the balloon. They try to jump and reach it. But it is too high. They cannot catch it.

"Maybe we need a ladder," Lily says.

"Or a rocket," Ben says.

They look around. They see a man with a cart. He has many balloons. He sells them to people.

"Hello, sir, can we have a balloon?" Lily asks.

"Sure, little ones, you can have a balloon. They are one dollar each," the man says.

Lily and Ben are sad. They do not have any money. They only have some rocks and leaves.

"Sorry, sir, we do not have money. We only have these," Ben says. He shows the man his rocks and leaves.

The man smiles. He is kind. He likes children.

"That's okay, you can have a balloon anyway. You can give me your rocks and leaves. They are very nice," the man says.

He gives Lily and Ben each a balloon. They are very happy. They thank the man.

"Thank you, sir, you are very nice," Lily says.

"Yes, thank you, sir, you are the best," Ben says.

They hold their balloons. They run and play in the park. They have a lot of fun. They are the happiest children in the world. They think it is the best day ever. They do not know what will happen next year. But they do not care. They only care about their balloons. They are very attractive.
Sara and Ben love to play with trains. They have a big station with many tracks and trains. They make the trains go fast and slow, and make noises like choo-choo and beep-beep.

One day, Sara and Ben want to play with trains at grandma's house. They ask grandma if they can bring their station and trains. Grandma says yes, but they have to be careful and not make a mess.

Sara and Ben are very happy. They pack their station and trains in a big bag and go to grandma's house. They set up their station in the living room and start to play.

"Look, Ben, I have a red train and a blue train. They are friends and they share the tracks," Sara says.

"That's nice, Sara. I have a green train and a yellow train. They are crazy and they like to race and crash," Ben says.

Sara and Ben play with their trains for a long time. They have fun and laugh a lot. But they also make a lot of noise and move the furniture and the rugs.

Grandma hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees the station and the trains and the mess. She is not happy.

"Sara and Ben, what are you doing? You are making too much noise and you are making a mess. You are not allowed to play like this in my house. You have to clean up and put away your station and trains," grandma says.

Sara and Ben are sad and sorry. They did not mean to upset grandma. They say sorry and start to clean up and put away their station and trains.

Grandma sees that they are sorry and helps them. She says that she loves them and that they can play with trains again, but they have to be more quiet and tidy.

Sara and Ben hug grandma and say thank you. They learn to play with trains in a better way. They are still happy and have fun, but they are not crazy.
Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a big box in the hall. They think it is a new toy for them.

"Let's open it!" Tim says. He runs to the box and tears the paper. Sam follows him.

Inside the box, they see a small, furry animal. It has long ears, a pink nose and a fluffy tail. It is a bunny!

"Wow, a bunny!" Sam says. He picks up the bunny and hugs it. The bunny is soft and warm.

"Can we keep it?" Tim asks. He wants to touch the bunny too.

"I don't know," Sam says. "Maybe it is a gift for someone else."

They hear their mom coming. They hide the box and the bunny under their bed. They hope she will not see it.

Their mom comes in. She smiles at them.

"Hi, boys. How are you?" she asks.

"We are good, mom," Tim says.

"We are playing, mom," Sam says.

"That's nice. Do you want a snack?" she asks.

"Yes, please," they say.

Their mom goes to the kitchen. Tim and Sam look at each other. They want to play with the bunny some more. They take the box and the bunny out from under the bed.

They put the box on the floor. They take out some carrots from their snack. They give them to the bunny. The bunny likes the carrots. It chews them with its teeth.

"Look, it is eating!" Tim says.

"It is cute!" Sam says.

They pet the bunny and talk to it. They forget about their mom.

Their mom comes back. She has a tray with cookies and milk. She sees the box and the bunny on the floor. She is surprised.

"Boys, what is this?" she asks.

Tim and Sam look at her. They are scared. They know they did something wrong.

"Mom, we are sorry," Tim says.

"We found the box in the hall," Sam says.

"We thought it was a toy for us," Tim says.

"We wanted to play with the bunny," Sam says.

Their mom sighs. She puts the tray on the table. She sits down on the bed.

"Boys, this is not a toy. This is a living animal. It needs care and love. It is not yours to take. It belongs to someone else," she says.

"Who, mom?" Tim asks.

"Your aunt. She sent it to me as a gift. She loves bunnies. She has a farm with many animals. She wanted me to give it to her when she visits us next week," she says.

"Oh, mom, we are sorry," Tim and Sam say.

They feel bad. They hurt their mom and their aunt. They hurt the bunny too. The bunny is wet from their hugs. It is scared from their noise.

Their mom hugs them. She is not angry. She is sad.

"It's okay, boys. I know you didn't mean to do it. But you have to learn to respect other people's things. And you have to learn to ask before you take something. That is the right thing to do," she says.

"Yes, mom. We understand," Tim and Sam say.

They give the bunny back to their mom. They say sorry to the bunny. They hope the bunny will be happy with their aunt.

Their mom smiles. She forgives them. She gives them cookies and milk. She tells them stories about the farm and the animals. They listen and learn. They promise to be good. They love their mom and their aunt. They love the bunny too.
Tom loves to go to the gym with his dad. The gym is a big place with many things to play with. Tom likes to jump on the trampoline, swing on the ropes, and roll on the mats. He feels happy and strong when he plays at the gym.

One day, Tom sees a new thing at the gym. It is a big ball with a handle. Tom wants to try it. He asks his dad to help him. His dad lifts him up and puts him on the ball. Tom holds the handle and bounces up and down. He laughs and smiles. He likes the ball.

But then, Tom bounces too high. He loses his balance and falls off the ball. He lands on the floor. He feels a pain in his knee. He cries and calls for his dad. His dad runs to him and hugs him. He checks his knee and says it is not bad. He kisses it and says it will be okay.

Tom stops crying and looks at his knee. He sees a small cut and some blood. He feels scared and sad. He does not want to play anymore. He wants to go home. He tells his dad he is sorry for falling. He thinks he is not good at the gym.

His dad smiles and wipes his tears. He tells him he is not sorry. He tells him he is amazing. He tells him he is brave and strong and smart. He tells him he is proud of him for trying new things. He tells him he loves him very much.

Tom feels better and hugs his dad. He realizes his dad is right. He realizes he is amazing. He realizes he loves the gym. He asks his dad if they can play some more. His dad says yes and helps him up. They go back to the ball and try again. Tom bounces and laughs. He has fun at the gym.
Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the garage. Inside the box, there were many tubes of different colors and sizes.

"Wow, look at these tubes!" Lily said. "We can make a lot of things with them!"

"Let's make a castle!" Tom said. "We can use the big tubes for the walls and the little tubes for the windows!"

They took out the tubes and started to build their castle. They had fun putting the tubes together and making shapes. They made a door, a tower, and a flag.

"Look, our castle is done!" Lily said. "It is very pretty!"

"It is very strong, too!" Tom said. "No one can break it!"

They went inside their castle and pretended to be a king and a queen. They had a lot of fun.

But then, their mom came and said, "Lily, Tom, it is time to clean up. We have to give these tubes to the recycling center. They are not toys, they are old paper rolls."

Lily and Tom were sad. They did not want to give away their tubes. They liked their castle very much.

"Mom, please, can we keep the tubes?" Lily asked. "We value them a lot. They are our toys!"

"Mom, please, can we keep the castle?" Tom asked. "We worked hard to make it. It is our home!"

Their mom smiled and said, "I see that you love your tubes and your castle. But you know, these tubes are not good for playing. They can get dirty, or wet, or torn. They are not safe for you. And we have to recycle them, so we can help the environment. There are other things you can use to make toys, like blocks, or cardboard, or clay. How about we take a picture of your castle, so you can remember it? And then we can find some new materials for you to play with?"

Lily and Tom thought about it. They understood that their mom was right. They agreed to take a picture of their castle. They hugged their mom and said, "Thank you, mom. We love you."

They helped their mom to put the tubes back in the box. They said goodbye to their castle. They were a little sad, but also excited to try new things. They learned that they could value many things, not just tubes.
Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But they do not like to bathe. They think it is boring and cold.

One day, their mom says, "Sara and Ben, it is time to bathe. You are dirty and smelly. Come on, I have a surprise for you."

Sara and Ben groan and follow their mom to the bathroom. They see a big tub full of bubbles and water. They also see some new toys on the shelf. They are modern toys. They have lights and sounds and buttons.

"What are these, mom?" Sara asks.

"These are your new bath toys. They are fun and smart. You can learn and play with them in the water. But you can only use them if you bathe well and wash your hair and body," mom says.

Sara and Ben are curious and excited. They want to try the new toys. They get into the tub and start to splash and giggle. Mom helps them to shampoo and soap. She also gives them a thread. She says, "You can use this thread to make bubbles. Just blow through it and see what happens."

Sara and Ben take turns to blow through the thread. They make big and small bubbles. They pop them and catch them. They have a lot of fun. They forget that they do not like to bathe.

Mom smiles and says, "See, bathing is not so bad. It is good for you and it can be fun too. You just need to try new things and be open-minded."

Sara and Ben nod and hug their mom. They say, "Thank you, mom. We love you and we love our new bath toys. We will bathe well every day."

Mom kisses them and says, "You are welcome, my sweeties. I love you too. You are good and smart kids."

The moral of the story is: bathing is important for hygiene and health, and it can also be enjoyable if you have a positive attitude and a creative mind.
Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the attic. The attic was full of old things that belonged to their grandma and grandpa. They liked to dress up in the clothes, read the books, and pretend they were in different places.

One day, they found a big box that had a lock on it. They wondered what was inside. They looked for the key, but they could not find it. They decided to try to open the box with a hammer.

"Maybe there is treasure in the box," Ben said.

"Or a secret map," Lily said.

They took turns hitting the lock with the hammer. They made a lot of noise. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch.

Suddenly, the lock broke and the box opened. Ben and Lily looked inside. They saw a lot of papers and photos. They saw their grandma and grandpa when they were young. They saw their mom and dad when they were babies. They saw letters and cards and drawings.

They realized that the box was very important. They realized that they had broken something that their grandma and grandpa loved. They felt very bad.

They heard their mom coming up the stairs. They quickly closed the box and hid the hammer. They hoped their mom would not notice.

"Ben, Lily, what are you doing up here?" their mom asked. "It's time for lunch."

"Nothing, mom," Ben said.

"We were just playing," Lily said.

Their mom looked at the box. She saw the broken lock. She saw the papers and photos sticking out. She looked very sad.

"Ben, Lily, this was your grandma and grandpa's memory box. They kept all their precious things in here. How could you do this?" their mom asked.

Ben and Lily did not know what to say. They felt very sorry. They wished they had not opened the box. They wished they had listened to their mom. They regretted being so curious and naughty.

They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They said they would help fix the box. They said they would be more careful with the old things in the attic.

Their mom hugged them back and said she forgave them. She said she loved them. She said they could still play in the attic, but they had to respect the things that belonged to their grandma and grandpa. She said they could learn from their mistake.

They went downstairs to have lunch. They ate their sandwiches, but they did not taste very good. They felt a bitter taste in their mouths. They knew they had hurt their mom and their grandma and grandpa. They hoped they could make it up to them. They hoped they could still enjoy the attic.
Sara and Ben like to play with hoops. They have big hoops and small hoops. They can roll them, spin them, and jump with them. They have fun with hoops.

One day, Sara and Ben find a new hoop in the park. It is shiny and colorful. They want to play with it. But the hoop is very dirty. It has mud and leaves on it.

"Who left this hoop here?" Sara asks.

"I don't know. Maybe someone forgot it," Ben says.

"Can we clean it and play with it?" Sara asks.

"OK. Let's clean it," Ben says.

They take the hoop to a water fountain. They use their hands and a cloth to wash the hoop. They rub and scrub until the hoop is clean. They dry it with another cloth.

"Now it looks nice," Sara says.

"Let's try it," Ben says.

They take turns to roll and spin the hoop. They find out that the hoop is very fit. It is not too big or too small. It is just right for them.

They have more fun with the hoop.

They are happy they cleaned the hoop.
Lily and Max are twins. They like to play in the park. The park has a big slide. Lily and Max love to slide down the slide.

One day, they go to the park with Mom. Mom says, "You can play on the slide, but stay in my sight. I will sit on the bench and read a book."

Lily and Max nod and run to the slide. They take turns sliding down. They laugh and have fun.

Then, Lily has an idea. She says to Max, "Let's slide together. We can hold hands and go down at the same time."

Max thinks that sounds fun. He says, "Okay, let's do it. You go on the left and I go on the right. The left is west and the right is east."

Lily and Max are very organized. They know their directions. They hold hands and get ready to slide.

But, as they slide, they forget to let go of each other. They get tangled and fall off the slide. They land on the grass and roll over.

Mom sees them and runs to them. She asks, "Are you okay? Did you hurt yourselves?"

Lily and Max look at each other and giggle. They say, "We are okay, Mom. We just had a little accident. We tried to slide together, but we did not let go."

Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "I'm glad you are okay. You are very brave and creative. But, next time, maybe you should slide one by one. It's safer and easier."

Lily and Max agree. They say, "Okay, Mom. We will slide one by one. But, can we still hold hands?"

Mom says, "Of course, you can. You are twins and you love each other. You can hold hands anytime you want."

Lily and Max hug Mom and say, "We love you, Mom. You are the best."

Mom says, "I love you, too, Lily and Max. You are the best, too."

They go back to the slide and play some more. They slide one by one, but they hold hands when they reach the bottom. They are happy and have fun.
Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the garden. One day, they find a big rod in the shed. It is long and hard and has numbers on it.

"Look, Sam, this is a measure rod. We can use it to see how big things are," Ben says.

"Wow, that is cool. Can we measure the flowers?" Sam asks.

"Sure, let's go," Ben says. They take the rod and go to the flower bed. They measure the roses, the daisies, and the sunflowers. They have fun comparing the sizes.

Then, they see a furry animal hiding under a bush. It has big ears, a fluffy tail, and a black nose. It is a rabbit.

"Look, Ben, a rabbit! It is so cute. Can we measure it?" Sam says.

"I don't know, Sam. It might be scared of us. Maybe we should leave it alone," Ben says.

"No, I want to measure it. Come on, Ben, help me catch it," Sam says. He runs towards the bush with the rod.

The rabbit sees Sam and gets frightened. It hops out of the bush and runs away. Sam chases after it, but he trips on the rod and falls down. He scrapes his knee and starts to cry.

"Sam, are you okay?" Ben says. He runs to his brother and helps him up.

"Ow, ow, ow. My knee hurts. And the rabbit is gone. It is all your fault, Ben. You didn't help me measure it," Sam says. He is angry and sad.

"No, Sam, it is not my fault. You shouldn't have scared the rabbit. It is not a toy. It is a living thing. You have to be gentle and kind to animals," Ben says. He is sorry and worried.

They argue and shout at each other. They forget about the rod and the flowers. They are not having fun anymore.

Then, they hear their mom calling them.

"Ben, Sam, time for lunch. Come inside, boys," she says.

They stop arguing and look at each other. They are hungry and tired. They realize they have been silly and mean.

"Sorry, Ben. I was wrong. You are right. We should be nice to animals. And to each other," Sam says.

"Sorry, Sam. I was wrong too. You are my brother. I love you. And I hope your knee feels better," Ben says.

They hug and smile. They pick up the rod and go inside. They wash their hands and sit at the table. They tell their mom about their adventure. She listens and smiles. She gives them a kiss and a sandwich. They eat and laugh. They are happy again.
Jill liked to help her mom in the garden. She liked to water the flowers and dig in the dirt. But she did not like to prune the roses. Prune meant to cut off some parts of the plants. Jill thought that was mean.

One day, her mom asked her to prune the roses with her. Jill said no. She said she wanted to play with her doll instead. Her mom said that pruning the roses was important. She said that it helped the roses grow better and look prettier. She said that pruning was not mean, but kind.

Jill did not believe her mom. She thought her mom was lying. She ran away with her doll and hid behind a tree. Her mom looked for her and found her. She said, "Jill, why are you hiding? Don't you want to help me in the garden?"

Jill said, "No, I don't. I don't want to prune the roses. Pruning is mean. I don't want to be mean to the roses. I want to be nice to them."

Her mom said, "Jill, I understand that you love the roses. I love them too. But pruning is not mean. It is kind. Pruning helps the roses stay healthy and happy. It removes the parts that are sick or old or broken. It makes room for new parts to grow. It makes the roses more beautiful and strong. Pruning is like giving the roses a haircut. Do you like to get a haircut?"

Jill thought about it. She said, "Yes, I do. I like to get a haircut. It makes me feel good and look good. It is not mean. It is kind."

Her mom said, "That's right. Pruning is like giving the roses a haircut. It is not mean. It is kind. Will you help me prune the roses now?"

Jill said, "Yes, I will. I want to help you in the garden. I want to be kind to the roses. I want to see them grow better and look prettier."

Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Thank you, Jill. You are a good helper and a kind girl. I love you very much."

They went to the garden and pruned the roses together. They had fun and learned a lot. They completed their task and felt proud. The roses thanked them with their sweet smell and bright colors.
Ben and Lily were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked to make their own games. Ben found a big envelope on the table. It was from Grandma. He opened it and saw a card with a picture of a cake and some money.

"Look, Lily, Grandma sent us a card and money for our birthday!" Ben said.

"Wow, that's nice of her. Can I see?" Lily said.

Ben showed her the card and the money. They smiled and hugged the envelope.

"Let's do something fun with the money. Maybe we can buy some candy or a new book," Ben said.

"Or we can save it for later. Maybe we can go to the zoo or the park," Lily said.

They thought about what they wanted to do. Then they had an idea.

"Let's play balance with the money!" Ben said.

"What's that?" Lily asked.

"It's a game where we try to stack the money on top of each other without falling. It's hard, but it's fun. And it's impressive if you can do it," Ben said.

He took one bill and put it on the floor. Then he took another one and put it on top of the first one. He tried to make them straight and even.

"Your turn, Lily," he said.

Lily took a bill and put it on top of Ben's stack. She was careful not to make it wobble.

They took turns adding bills to the stack. It grew taller and taller. They counted how many bills they had.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" Ben said.

"Wow, that's a lot. And it's still standing. That's impressive!" Lily said.

They clapped and cheered. They were proud of their balance game.

They looked at their envelope and their stack of money. They felt happy and grateful.

"Thank you, Grandma, for the card and the money. We love you!" they said together.
Lily was a big girl now. She had a new bed in her room. But she still liked her old crib. It was warm and cozy. She liked to act like a baby sometimes and sleep in her crib.

One night, Lily sneaked out of her bed and crawled into her crib. She hugged her teddy bear and closed her eyes. She pretended she was a baby again. She made soft noises and sucked her thumb.

But then she heard a loud noise. It was her brother Max. He came into her room and saw her in the crib. He laughed and said, "Lily, what are you doing? You are not a baby. You are a big girl. You have a bed. Why are you in the crib?"

Lily opened her eyes and felt embarrassed. She did not want Max to see her act like a baby. She said, "I was just playing. I like my crib. It is warm and cozy. Go away, Max. You are mean."

Max shook his head and said, "Lily, you are silly. You are too big for the crib. You will break it. Come on, get out of the crib and go to your bed. I will help you."

Lily did not want to leave her crib. But she knew Max was right. She was too big for the crib. She said, "Okay, fine. But don't laugh at me. And don't tell Mom and Dad."

Max smiled and said, "Okay, okay. I won't laugh. And I won't tell. But you have to promise me something. You have to act like a big girl from now on. No more crib. Deal?"

Lily nodded and said, "Deal." She gave her teddy bear a kiss and handed it to Max. He helped her out of the crib and tucked her into her bed. He said, "Good night, Lily. Sleep tight. You are a big girl now."

Lily said, "Good night, Max. Thank you. You are a good brother." She felt warm and cozy in her bed. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She did not act like a baby anymore. She was a big girl now.
Lily woke up and felt hungry. She went to the kitchen and saw a big box of cereal on the table. She liked cereal. It was crunchy and sweet. She wanted to eat some.

But she could not reach the box. It was too high for her. She tried to climb on a chair, but it was too wobbly. She almost fell down. She was scared and sad. She needed help.

She called for her mom. "Mom, mom, I need cereal!" she shouted. But her mom did not hear her. Her mom was in the shower. She was making a lot of noise with the water.

Lily started to cry. She was very hungry and very unhappy. She thought this was a terrible morning. She wished her mom would come and give her some cereal.

Then she heard a bark. It was her dog, Spot. Spot was her friend. He ran to her and licked her face. He made her laugh. He saw the box of cereal and jumped on the table. He knocked it down with his paw.

Lily was happy. She grabbed the box and poured some cereal in a bowl. She shared some with Spot. He liked cereal too. They ate together and smiled. They did not need milk. They liked it dry.

Lily's mom came out of the shower. She saw Lily and Spot eating cereal on the floor. She was surprised and amused. She hugged them and said, "Good morning, my hungry munchkins. You are very clever and very cute. But next time, please wait for me. I can help you with the cereal. And the milk. And the spoon."

Lily and Spot wagged their tails. They loved their mom. They thought this was a wonderful morning. They finished their cereal and licked the bowl. They were full and happy.

"Look at me, I'm a queen!" Anna says, waving her hand.

"Look at me, I'm a sailor!" Ben says, blowing on his boat.

They laugh and have fun with their paper shapes.

Soon, it is time for lunch. Mom calls them from the kitchen.

"Anna, Ben, come and eat! I have made some yummy food for you!"

Anna and Ben run to the kitchen. They see Mom has made sandwiches, fruit and milk for them. They are hungry and happy.

"Thank you, Mom!" they say.

"You're welcome, my jolly children!" Mom says, smiling.

They sit down and enjoy their food. They tell Mom about their paper shapes and show her their hat and boat.

Mom praises their creativity and gives them a hug.

They finish their food and ask Mom if they can play some more.

"Of course, you can!" Mom says. "But first, please fold your paper shapes and put them away. We don't want to make a mess."

Anna and Ben nod and do as Mom says. They fold their paper shapes and put them in a box. Then they run back to their room and find more paper to fold and play with. They are jolly and love to fold paper.

"No, it is mine. You have your own toys," Tom says.

"But I like your guitar. It is original. It is red and shiny. Please, let me play with it," Sam begs.

"No, you can't. Go away," Tom says. He holds the guitar tight.

Sam is sad. He wants to play with Tom and the guitar. He thinks of a plan. He sees a box. It has some crayons and paper. He has an idea.

He takes the crayons and paper. He draws a guitar. It is not original. It is blue and green. He cuts it out. He makes a string with a crayon. He has a guitar.

He goes to Tom. He shows him his guitar.

"Look, I have a guitar too. It is not original. It is blue and green. Do you want to play with me?" Sam asks Tom.

Tom looks at Sam's guitar. He laughs.

"That is not a guitar. That is a paper. It is silly. It can't make music. My guitar is original. It is red and shiny. It can make music. Your guitar is nothing," Tom says.

Sam is angry. He feels bad. He throws his guitar at Tom. It hits his head. Tom cries.

"Ow, that hurts. Why did you do that? You are mean," Tom says.

Sam runs away. He is sorry. He didn't mean to hurt Tom. He just wanted to play with him.

Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They heard a beep from the kitchen. It was the oven. Mom had put a cake in the oven for a treat.

"Let's go see the cake!" Lily said. She grabbed Tom's hand and ran to the kitchen.

Mom was taking the cake out of the oven. It was brown and smelled good. She put it on the table to cool.

"Wow, Mom, the cake looks yummy!" Tom said.

"Thank you, Tom. But you have to wait until it is cold. The cake is very hot now. It can hurt you if you touch it," Mom said.

Lily and Tom nodded. They knew the oven was hot and they had to be careful.

"Can we help you with anything, Mom?" Lily asked.

"Yes, you can. You can return your toys to your room. They are all over the living room. Then you can wash your hands and get ready for the cake," Mom said.

Lily and Tom smiled. They liked to help Mom. They ran back to the living room and picked up their toys. They put them in their baskets and returned them to their room. Then they washed their hands and came back to the kitchen.

Lily and Sam were going to the airport with Mom and Dad. They were very excited. They had never been on a plane before. They wanted to see the big birds that could fly in the sky.

"Mom, where are we going?" Lily asked.

"We are going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. They live very far away, in a place where it is hot all the time," Mom said.

"Hot? Like the sun?" Sam questioned.

"Yes, like the sun. But they have a pool and a garden and a dog. You will love it there," Mom said.

Lily and Sam smiled. They liked pools and gardens and dogs. They wondered what Grandma and Grandpa looked like. They had only seen them in pictures.

When they got to the airport, they saw many people and bags and carts. They heard loud noises and announcements. They followed Mom and Dad to a big gate. There, they waited for their plane.

"Look, there it is!" Dad said, pointing to a shiny metal bird. "That's our plane. We are going to get on it soon."

Lily and Sam stared at the plane. It was very big and had wings and windows and a tail. They felt nervous and curious.

"Mom, how does the plane fly?" Lily asked.

"Mom, can we see the clouds?" Sam questioned.

Mom hugged them and said, "The plane flies with engines and air and magic. And yes, you can see the clouds. They are like fluffy pillows in the sky. You can look out the window and see them."

Lily and Sam nodded. They wanted to see the magic and the pillows. They held Mom and Dad's hands and walked to the plane. They were ready for their adventure.
Lily was a dog who lived in a big house with her owner, Sam. Sam was very kind to Lily and gave her food, water, toys and hugs. Lily loved Sam and was happy.

One day, Sam brought home a new friend. His name was Max and he was a cat. Lily did not like Max. He was small, furry and had sharp claws. He took Sam's attention away from Lily and made her feel sad. Lily was angry at Max and tried to chase him away.

"Stop it, Lily!" Sam said. "Max is not a bad cat. He is my friend and you have to accept him. He is part of our family now."

Lily did not want to accept Max. She wanted Sam to be her only friend. She growled at Max and barked at him. Max hissed at Lily and scratched her nose. Lily and Max fought all the time and made a lot of noise.

Sam was upset by Lily and Max's fighting. He tried to make them get along, but they did not listen. He decided to take them to a park, where they could play and have fun. He hoped that Lily and Max would become friends.

At the park, Lily and Max saw a big ball. They both wanted to play with it. They ran towards the ball, but they did not see a car coming. The car was fast and loud and scary. Lily and Max were in danger.

Sam saw the car and shouted, "Lily! Max! Come back!" He ran after them, but he was too far away. He was afraid that he would lose his friends.

Lily and Max heard Sam's voice. They looked at the car and felt afraid. They looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized that they had been mean and silly. They did not want to fight anymore. They wanted to be safe and happy.

Lily and Max turned around and ran back to Sam. They reached him just in time. The car passed by and missed them. Sam hugged Lily and Max and was relieved. He was glad that they were okay.

Lily and Max licked Sam's face and wagged their tails. They were grateful to Sam and to each other. They decided to accept each other and be friends. They played with the ball together and had fun. Sam smiled and was proud. He loved Lily and Max and they loved him. They were a happy family.
Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big lion in the park. The lion is sleeping on a bench. Lila and Ben are scared.

"Ben, what do we do?" Lila asks.

"We have to tell someone. Maybe the lion is lost. Maybe he is hungry. Maybe he is cold," Ben says.

They look around. They see a man with a hat and a bag. He is walking near the lion. He does not see the lion.

"Hey, mister, mister!" Lila and Ben shout. "There is a lion in the park!"

The man with the hat and the bag stops. He looks at Lila and Ben. He looks at the lion. He smiles.

"Don't worry, kids. That is not a real lion. That is a toy lion. I made it for the circus. It is very soft and warm. Do you want to touch it?" he says.

Lila and Ben are surprised. They walk closer to the lion. They touch it. It is not cold. It is not scary. It is a toy lion.

"Wow, it is a toy lion. It looks so real. How did you make it?" Lila asks.

"I used fur and foam and wires and buttons. I can make it move and roar. Do you want to see?" the man says.

"Yes, please!" Lila and Ben say.

The man with the hat and the bag takes out a remote control. He presses some buttons. The toy lion moves its head and tail. It opens its mouth and roars. Lila and Ben laugh.

"That is so cool! Can we play with it?" Ben asks.

"Sure, why not? But be gentle. It is still a toy lion," the man says.

Lila and Ben play with the toy lion. They hug it and pet it and talk to it. They forget that they were scared. They have fun in the park. The man with the hat and the bag watches them and smiles. He is happy that he made a toy lion. He is happy that he made some new friends.
Anna loved spaghetti. She liked to twirl it on her fork and slurp it with her mouth. She liked the red sauce and the cheese on top. She liked to eat spaghetti with her mom and dad.

One day, mom said they had no spaghetti at home. She said they had to go to the store and buy some. Anna was happy. She liked to go to the store with mom. She liked to see the different things and put them in the cart.

At the store, mom said they had to be quick. She said they had to get the spaghetti and some other things and go home. Anna nodded. She wanted to eat spaghetti soon. She followed mom to the pasta aisle.

There, she saw a big bag of spaghetti. It was bigger than her head. It had a lot of spaghetti inside. Anna thought it was the best spaghetti ever. She pointed to it and said, "Mom, can we get that one?"

Mom looked at the bag. She smiled and said, "That's a lot of spaghetti, Anna. Do you think we can eat all of that?"

Anna nodded. She was sure they could. She said, "Yes, mom. We can eat it for many days. And we can share it with dad and grandma and grandpa and our friends. Please, mom, can we get it?"

Mom thought for a moment. She said, "Well, okay, Anna. We can get it. But you have to be very careful with it. It's very delicate. It can break easily. You have to hold it gently and not drop it. Can you do that?"

Anna nodded again. She said, "Yes, mom. I can do that. I can be very careful with it. I can hold it gently and not drop it. Thank you, mom. You are the best mom ever."

Mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Anna. You are the best daughter ever." She picked up the bag of spaghetti and put it in the cart. She said, "Let's go pay and go home. I'm hungry for spaghetti. How about you?"

Anna said, "Me too, mom. Me too." She held mom's hand and walked to the cashier. She was very happy. She had the biggest bag of spaghetti in the world. She couldn't wait to eat it.

But when they got to the car, something bad happened. Mom put the bag of spaghetti in the trunk. She closed the trunk. But she closed it too hard. The bag of spaghetti broke. The spaghetti spilled everywhere. It made a big mess.

Mom gasped. She said, "Oh no! Look what I did! I broke the spaghetti! I'm so sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to do that. I was not careful enough."

Anna looked at the broken spaghetti. She felt sad. She said, "It's okay, mom. It was an accident. You didn't mean to do that. I still love you, mom."

Mom hugged Anna. She said, "I love you too, Anna. You are very sweet and kind. Thank you for being so understanding. I'm sorry we can't eat the spaghetti. Maybe we can find something else to eat at home."

Anna nodded. She said, "Maybe we can, mom. Maybe we can." She got in the car with mom. They drove home. They did not eat spaghetti that day. But they still had each other. And that was enough.
Anna and Ben are playing with their toy cars on the floor. They like to make them go fast and make loud noises. Anna has a red car and Ben has a blue car.

"Look, my car is faster than yours!" Anna says, as she pushes her car forward.

"No, mine is faster!" Ben says, as he pushes his car forward too.

They both try to make their cars go faster and faster, until they crash into each other. The cars make a big bang and fall over.

"Oh no, our cars are broken!" Anna says, as she picks up her car and sees a dent.

"Let's try to fix them!" Ben says, as he picks up his car and sees a scratch.

They look at their cars and try to push and pull them back into shape. They also try to reverse them, to make them go backwards and undo the crash.

"Reverse, reverse!" Anna says, as she moves her car backwards.

"Reverse, reverse!" Ben says, as he moves his car backwards too.

They reverse their cars until they are far away from each other. Then they look at their cars again.

"Hey, look! My car is not dented anymore!" Anna says, as she sees her car is smooth.

"Wow, mine is not scratched anymore!" Ben says, as he sees his car is shiny.

They are happy that their cars are fixed. They hug their cars and each other.

"That was a good result!" Anna says, as she smiles.

"Yes, it was!" Ben says, as he smiles too.

They feel warm and cozy. They decide to play with their cars again, but more gently this time. They make them go slow and make soft noises. They have fun and are careful not to crash again.
Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pretty dress and a shiny necklace. Lily loved to brush Anna's hair and put the necklace on her neck.

One day, Lily's cousin Ben came to visit. Ben was older than Lily and he liked to tease her. He saw Anna on the bed and picked her up. "What a silly doll," he said. "Her hair is fake and her necklace is fake too. Look, I can break it." He pulled hard on the necklace and it snapped.

Lily was very sad and angry. She ran to Ben and tried to grab Anna back. "Give me my doll," she cried. "You are mean and bad. You broke her necklace. It was not fake, it was special."

Ben laughed and pushed Lily away. "It was fake, you baby. It was just plastic. Here, you can have your doll back. But I will keep the necklace. It is mine now." He put the necklace in his pocket and ran out of the room.

Lily hugged Anna and sobbed. She looked at her doll's neck and saw a red mark where the necklace had been. She felt sorry for Anna and for herself. She wished Ben would go away and never come back. She wished she had a real necklace for Anna. She wished she had a friend who would be nice to her and her dolls.
Sam and Anna were friends. They liked to play together at the park. One day, they saw a big tent at the park. It was an event. There were many people and animals inside the tent.

"Let's go and see what is inside the tent," Sam said.

"OK, but we have to ask our moms first," Anna said.

They ran to their moms and asked if they could visit the tent. Their moms said yes, but they had to stay together and be careful.

Sam and Anna entered the tent. They saw clowns, balloons, and music. They also saw a lion, a tiger, and a bear. They were in cages. Sam and Anna were scared of the big animals.

"Don't be afraid, they are harmless," a man said. He was wearing a red coat and a hat. He was the ringmaster. He smiled at Sam and Anna. "They are trained to do tricks and not to hurt anyone. Do you want to see them?"

Sam and Anna nodded. They followed the ringmaster to the center of the tent. They watched the lion jump through a hoop, the tiger balance on a ball, and the bear ride a bike. They clapped and cheered. They had fun at the event. They thanked the ringmaster and went back to their moms.

"Did you enjoy the tent?" their moms asked.

"Yes, it was amazing!" Sam and Anna said. "We saw harmless animals do tricks!"

They hugged their moms and went home. They were happy. They had a good day.
Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with many trees. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side.

"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "Maybe we will find a new animal!"

"OK, Tom!" Lily said. "But be careful. The hill is very high and steep."

They held hands and started to climb. They went past the trees and the rocks. They saw some birds and some bugs. They were having fun.

But when they reached the top of the hill, they saw something that made them stop and gasp. It was an enormous animal. It had a long neck, a big body, and four legs. It was eating some leaves from a tall tree. It looked like a giant horse with spots.

"Wow!" Tom said. "What is that animal? I have never seen it before!"

"Me neither!" Lily said. "It is so big and strange!"

The animal heard them and turned its head. It saw the two children and made a loud noise. It sounded like a mix of a roar and a moo.

"Hello!" the animal said. "Who are you?"

Lily and Tom were scared and surprised. The animal could talk!

"Hello!" Lily said. "We are Lily and Tom. We are playing in the park. Who are you?"

"I am Gigi," the animal said. "I am a giraffe. I live on this hill with my friends. Do you want to meet them?"

Lily and Tom looked at each other. They were curious and excited. They nodded and smiled.

"Yes, please!" Tom said. "We would love to meet your friends!"

Gigi smiled and set down her leaves. She walked towards the children and lowered her neck. She invited them to climb on her back.

"Come on!" Gigi said. "I will show you around. You will see many wonderful animals!"

Lily and Tom climbed on Gigi's back. They held on to her fur and felt her warm breath. They were happy and amazed.

They rode on Gigi's back and saw the other side of the hill. They saw zebras, elephants, lions, monkeys, and more. They learned their names and their sounds. They made new friends and had fun.

Lily and Tom had the best adventure ever. They thanked Gigi and her friends for their kindness. They said goodbye and promised to come back soon.

They climbed down the hill and ran back to the park. They told their parents about their amazing discovery. They said they met an enormous animal that could talk. They said it was a giraffe.

Their parents smiled and hugged them. They were proud and happy. They said they were glad they had such brave and curious children. They said they loved them very much.
Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play near the sea. They made sand castles and dug holes and looked for shells. One day, they saw a big boat on the water. It had many people and things on it.

"Look, Ben, a boat!" Sam said. "I want to go on it and see what they have."

"No, Sam, we can't go on the boat. It is not ours. It is for people who work on the sea. They have to be careful and strong. The sea can be dangerous and scary. We have to stay on the sand and be safe." Ben said.

But Sam did not listen to Ben. He wanted to go on the boat. He waited until Ben was busy with his sand castle and ran to the water. He saw a small boat near the shore. It was tied to a rope. Sam untied the rope and got on the small boat. He used a stick to push the boat away from the sand. He thought he was very clever and brave.

But soon, Sam was not happy. The small boat was not easy to control. The wind and the waves made it move fast and far. Sam could not see the big boat or the sand anymore. He was alone on the sea. He was scared and cold and wet. He dropped his stick and cried. He felt helpless.

Ben saw that Sam was gone. He looked for him and saw the small boat on the water. He knew that Sam was in trouble. He ran to the big boat and asked for help. He told the people what happened. They were kind and quick. They used a bigger boat to go after Sam. They found him and brought him back to the shore. They gave him a blanket and a hug.

Sam was sorry for what he did. He said sorry to Ben and to the people. He learned his lesson. He never went on the sea without permission again. He stayed with Ben and played on the sand. He was happy and safe. He knew that the sea was not for him. He knew that Ben was his best friend. He knew that he had to listen and be careful. He knew that work on the sea was hard and not for fun.
Bobby liked to bounce on his bed. He bounced up and down, up and down, making funny noises. He did not care that his mom told him to stop. He did not care that his bed made loud sounds. He did not care that it was dark outside.

One night, as he bounced on his bed, he heard a knock on his door. He stopped bouncing and listened. He hoped it was not his mom. He did not want to go to sleep. He wanted to bounce some more.

"Who is it?" he asked.

"It is me, your friend," a voice said. "Can I come in and bounce with you?"

Bobby was happy. He liked to have friends. He opened the door and saw a skeleton. The skeleton had no skin, no hair, no eyes. It had only bones. It smiled with its teeth.

"Hello, Bobby," the skeleton said. "I like to bounce too. Can I bounce on your bed with you?"

Bobby was scared. He did not like the skeleton. He did not think it was his friend. He wanted to run away. But the skeleton was fast. It grabbed Bobby by his arm and dragged him to his bed.

"Let me go, let me go!" Bobby cried.

"No, no, no," the skeleton said. "We are going to bounce together. We are going to have fun. We are going to bounce until we break the bed. And then we are going to bounce until we break your bones. And then we are going to bounce until you are a skeleton like me."

Bobby screamed and screamed. But no one heard him. No one came to help him. The skeleton bounced on him and broke his bed. And then it bounced on him and broke his bones. And then it bounced on him and made him a skeleton like him.

The end.

The shelf starts to shake. The truck falls down. So do some books and a vase. They make a loud noise. Mom hears the noise and comes to see what happened.

She sees the mess on the floor. She sees Lily and Ben with scared faces. She is not happy. She tells them they are naughty. They could have hurt themselves or broken something.

Anna is very curious. She wants to play with Robo too. She asks Tom, "Can I hold Robo, please?"

Tom thinks for a moment. He likes Robo very much. He does not want to share him. He says, "No, Anna, you cannot hold Robo. He is mine. You can look, but you cannot touch."

Anna is sad. She does not like Tom's answer. She thinks Tom is not a good friend. She says, "That is not nice, Tom. Friends share their toys. I always share my toys with you. Why are you so mean?"

Tom feels bad. He sees that Anna is crying. He does not want to make Anna cry. He remembers that Anna is his friend. He says, "I am sorry, Anna. You are right. Friends share their toys. You can hold Robo, if you want. But be careful. He is very original."

Anna smiles. She wipes her tears. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I will be careful with Robo. He is very original."

Tim and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with toys and eat snacks. One day, they found a big bag of gummy bears in the kitchen. They were very happy and took some gummy bears to share.

But Tim was greedy. He wanted more gummy bears than Lily. He took some from Lily's hand when she was not looking. He put them in his mouth and chewed them fast. Lily saw him and was sad. She said, "Tim, that is not nice. You took my gummy bears. You should share with me."

Tim did not listen. He said, "No, they are mine. I like gummy bears more than you. Go away, Lily." He pushed Lily and made her cry. Lily ran to her mom and told her what Tim did.

Mom was compassionate. She hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Tim was wrong. He should not take your gummy bears or push you. You are a good friend. You deserve to have gummy bears too."

Mom took Lily back to the kitchen. She saw Tim with a big pile of gummy bears. He had eaten almost all of them. He looked sick and unhappy. He had a tummy ache from eating too many gummy bears.

Mom said, "Tim, look what you did. You ate too many gummy bears and now you feel bad. You also hurt Lily's feelings and made her cry. You were not a good friend. You need to say sorry to Lily and give her some gummy bears."

Tim realized he was wrong. He felt sorry for Lily and for himself. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was greedy and mean. I should have shared with you. Here, you can have some of my gummy bears. I don't want them anymore."

Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Tim. I forgive you. You are still my best friend. But next time, let's share and be nice to each other."

Tim and Lily hugged and said sorry to Mom. Mom was proud of them. She said, "That's good, Tim and Lily. You learned your lesson. Sharing is caring. Gummy bears are fun, but friends are more important. Now, let's go and play with your toys. But first, drink some water and brush your teeth."
Anna likes to sing. She sings all the time. She sings in the morning, she sings at lunch, she sings at night. She sings loud and happy. She sings to her dolls, her toys, her mom and dad.

But Anna's mom and dad are deaf. They cannot hear her sing. They use their eyes and hands to talk. They smile and hug Anna, but they do not know how she sounds. Anna wants them to hear her sing. She wants them to know how much she loves them.

One day, Anna has an idea. She finds some makeup in her mom's room. She puts some on her face, her lips, her eyes. She looks like a star. She goes to the living room, where her mom and dad are sitting. She stands in front of them and starts to sing.

But she does not only sing with her voice. She also sings with her hands. She moves her hands to show the words of her song. She makes shapes and signs that her mom and dad can understand. She sings with her eyes, too. She looks at them and shows them how she feels.

Her mom and dad are surprised. They see Anna singing with her hands and eyes. They see her makeup and her smile. They are happy and proud. They clap their hands and cheer. They get up and hug Anna. They tell her she is a wonderful singer. They tell her they love her, too. Anna is happy. She sings again. She sings with her voice, her hands, and her eyes. She sings for her mom and dad. She sings for herself.
Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big bottle with a skull on it. Lily wanted to open it and see what was inside. Ben was scared and said no.

"That is poison, Lily. Poison is bad. It can make you sick or die. We should tell Mom and Dad," Ben said.

Lily did not listen. She was curious and brave. She opened the bottle and smelled it. It smelled sweet and fruity. She thought it was juice. She wanted to taste it.

"Stop, Lily! Don't drink it! It is not juice, it is poison!" Ben shouted.

But Lily was too lazy to listen. She did not want to walk to the kitchen and get a glass. She chose to drink from the bottle. She took a big sip and swallowed it.

Lily felt a pain in her tummy. She felt dizzy and sick. She dropped the bottle and fell to the ground. Ben ran to her and cried for help.

Mom and Dad heard Ben's cries and came to the garden. They saw Lily lying on the ground and the bottle with the skull. They were very scared and angry. They called the doctor and took Lily to the hospital.

The doctor gave Lily some medicine and made her throw up the poison. He said Lily was lucky to be alive. He said she should never drink anything she does not know. He said she should listen to Ben and Mom and Dad.

Lily was sorry and sad. She said sorry to Ben and Mom and Dad. She said she would never be curious and brave and lazy again. She said she would always choose to be careful and smart and good.

Lily was a nosy girl. She liked to look at everything and ask many questions. She wanted to know what was in the big box that Mommy brought home on Tuesday. Mommy said it was a surprise and Lily had to wait until her birthday.

But Lily was too nosy. She waited until Mommy was busy in the kitchen and sneaked into the living room. She found the big box and opened it. Inside was a beautiful doll with long hair and a pink dress. Lily was so happy. She took the doll out of the box and hugged it.

But then she heard Mommy coming. She was scared. She knew she had done a bad thing. She tried to put the doll back in the box, but it was too late. Mommy saw her and was very angry. She scolded Lily and took the doll away. She said Lily had spoiled the surprise and had to wait until her birthday to play with it.

Lily was very sad. She ran to her room and wept. She wished she had not been so nosy. She wished she had listened to Mommy. She wished she still had the doll. She wept and wept until she fell asleep.
Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. Lila wants to feed the ducks, but Ben wants to catch the fish. He takes a stick and tries to poke the fish in the water.

"Stop it, Ben!" Lila tells him. "You are hurting the fish. They are helpless. They cannot run away from you."

Ben does not listen. He thinks it is fun to make the fish jump and splash. He laughs and pokes harder. Lila gets angry and sad. She loves the fish. She wants to help them.

She runs to the pond and pushes Ben away. She throws the stick on the ground. She tells the fish, "I am sorry, fish. I will not let Ben hurt you. You are my friends."

The fish hear Lila and feel happy. They swim closer to her and thank her with their eyes. Lila smiles and strokes their scales gently. She gives them some bread crumbs from her pocket.

Ben feels sorry too. He sees that Lila and the fish are happy. He sees that he was mean and silly. He goes to Lila and says, "I am sorry, Lila. I am sorry, fish. I was wrong. Can I be your friend too?"

Lila and the fish forgive Ben. They let him join them. They share the bread crumbs and play together. They are all happy. They are all friends.
Tom and Lily were twins who liked to visit the grocery with their mom. They liked to see all the different things that people ate and played a game of finding their favorite fruits and snacks. But sometimes they also got bored and wanted to run around and touch everything.

One day, mom told them to stay close to her and not to wander off, because there was a fierce dog outside the grocery. The dog was big and loud and had sharp teeth. It did not like strangers and could bite them if they got too close. Tom and Lily nodded and promised to be good.

But when mom was busy picking some bread, Tom saw a shiny toy car on a shelf and wanted to have a closer look. He forgot about the fierce dog and ran to the other side of the grocery. Lily saw him and followed him, not wanting to be left alone.

They did not notice that the door of the grocery was open and the fierce dog had sneaked in. It smelled the twins and started to growl and bark. Tom and Lily heard the noise and turned around. They saw the fierce dog and got very scared. They screamed and ran back to mom, but the dog was faster and chased them.

Mom heard their screams and saw the dog. She quickly grabbed a broom and swung it at the dog, making it yelp and run away. She hugged Tom and Lily and checked if they were hurt. They were not, but they were shaking and crying. Mom was angry and sad. She scolded them for not listening to her and putting themselves in danger. She told them that they had to be careful and obey her when they visit the grocery, because there could be fierce dogs or other bad things that could hurt them. She also told them that they had to stick together and not leave each other alone, because they were safer and happier when they were together.

Tom and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They apologized to mom and hugged her. They learned their lesson and never ran away from mom again when they visited the grocery. They also learned to share and play with each other more, because they loved each other and did not want to lose each other. They realized that mom was right and that she only wanted the best for them. They thanked mom for saving them and for being a good mom. Mom smiled and kissed them. She was glad that they were safe and that they understood her. She loved them very much and was proud of them.
Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many green leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky.

"Can we climb the tree, Mom?" Lily asked.

"Be careful, okay? The tree is very high and the branches are thin," Mom said.

Lily and Ben nodded and ran to the tree. They grabbed the trunk and tried to pull themselves up. They struggled a lot, but they could not reach the first branch.

"Let me help you," a voice said.

They looked down and saw a boy with curly hair and a friendly smile. He was holding a rope in his hand.

"Who are you?" Ben asked.

"I'm Sam. I live near the park. I like to climb trees too. I have a rope that can help you," Sam said.

He threw one end of the rope over a branch and tied the other end to the trunk. He showed Lily and Ben how to use the rope to climb the tree.

"Wow, thank you, Sam! You are very smart and kind," Lily said.

They climbed the rope and reached the first branch. They felt very happy and proud. They saw many birds and squirrels on the tree. They also saw a big spider on a web.

"Look, a spider!" Ben said.

He pointed at the spider with his finger. The spider moved and showed its eight legs and two eyes.

"Is it scary?" Lily asked.

"No, it's harmless. It won't bite you unless you touch it. It's just making its home on the tree," Sam said.

He touched the spider gently with his palm. The spider crawled on his hand and then back to the web.

"See? It's friendly," Sam said.

Lily and Ben smiled. They liked the spider too. They decided to be friends with Sam and the spider. They had a lot of fun on the tree. Mom watched them and smiled too. She was glad they found a new friend and a new adventure.
Tom was hungry. He wanted to eat steak. Steak was meat that was brown and warm and yummy. He saw a big steak on the table. It was for Mom and Dad. But Tom wanted it too.

He climbed on a chair and reached for the steak. He pulled it with his hands. But the steak was too heavy. It fell off the table and landed on the floor. Tom heard a loud noise. He was scared.

Mom and Dad came into the kitchen. They saw the steak on the floor and Tom on the chair. They were not happy. They said, "Tom, what did you do? That was our steak. You should not pull things that are not yours."

Tom felt bad. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. I was hungry. I wanted steak." Mom and Dad sighed. They said, "We know, Tom. But you have to wait for your dinner. We have some steak for you too. But you have to eat your vegetables first."

They picked up the steak and threw it in the trash. They gave Tom a hug and a kiss. They said, "We love you, Tom. But you have to be careful and listen to us. OK?" Tom nodded. He said, "OK, Mom and Dad. I love you too. And I will eat my vegetables."

But one day, Sara sees a big dog in the park. The dog is black and furry and has a loud bark. Sara is scared of the dog. She stops walking and holds her mom's hand. She does not want to take any more steps.

The dog runs to Sara and her mom and dad. The dog wants to play. He wags his tail and jumps around. He does not know that Sara is scared. He thinks Sara is a friend.

Sara's mom and dad talk to the dog's owner. The owner is a nice lady. She says the dog is friendly and gentle. She says his name is Max. She asks Sara if she wants to pet Max.

Sara looks at Max. He looks at Sara. He licks his nose and tilts his head. He seems kind and happy. Sara feels a little brave. She lets go of her mom's hand and takes a small step. She reaches out her hand and touches Max's fur. It is soft and warm.

Tom and Lily liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big jet that could fly in the air. The jet was a gift from their grandpa, who said it was very expensive and special. He told them to be careful with it and not to lose it.

One day, Tom and Lily decided to fly the jet over the fence, where they saw a big field with cows and sheep. They thought it would be fun to see the animals from the sky. They took turns to hold the remote and make the jet go up and down and left and right. They laughed and shouted as they watched the jet zoom over the field.

But then, something bad happened. The jet flew too far and they could not see it anymore. They tried to make it come back, but the remote did not work. They ran to the fence and looked for the jet, but they could not find it. They felt scared and sad. They knew their grandpa would be angry and sad too.

They did not know what to do. They did not want to tell their mom or dad, because they would be in trouble. They did not want to go to the field, because they were afraid of the cows and sheep. They sat on the grass and cried.

Then, they heard a noise. It was a whistle. They looked up and saw a man walking towards them. He had a big smile and a hat. He was holding something in his hand. It was their jet! He had found it in the field and brought it back to them.

"Hello, kids," he said. "Is this yours?"

Tom and Lily nodded. They were so happy and relieved. They ran to the man and hugged him. They thanked him for finding their jet.

The man smiled and winked. He whispered in their ears, "Don't worry, I won't tell your grandpa. But next time, be more careful with your expensive toy. It's not safe to fly it over the fence. You might lose it again, or worse, hurt someone or something."

Tom and Lily nodded again. They promised to be more careful with their jet. They took it from the man and walked back to their garden. They put the jet in a safe place and hugged each other. They learned their lesson. They were lucky to have their jet back, and to meet a kind man who helped them. They hoped to see him again someday.
Sara and Ben are playing in their room. They have many toys, but they are not organized. Sara likes to organize her toys by color and shape. Ben likes to make a big mess and hide his toys under the bed.

"Ben, let's organize our toys," Sara says. "It will be fun and easy."

"No, I don't want to," Ben says. "I like my toys hidden. They are more fun that way."

Sara is sad. She wants to play with Ben, but she does not like his hidden toys. She thinks of an idea. She says, "Ben, how about we play a game? We can organize our toys and then we can hide them again. We can take turns hiding and finding them. It will be like a treasure hunt."

Ben thinks for a moment. He likes games. He likes treasure hunts. He says, "Okay, Sara, that sounds like a good game. Let's organize our toys and then hide them."

Sara and Ben start to organize their toys. They put the red toys in one pile, the blue toys in another pile, and so on. They also sort their toys by shape. They have circles, squares, triangles, and stars. They are happy and proud of their work. They look at each other and smile. Their faces are bright and cheerful.

"Now, let's hide them," Sara says. "You go first. You can hide one pile of toys anywhere in the room. I will close my eyes and count to ten. Then I will try to find them."

Ben nods. He picks up the pile of yellow stars. He looks around the room. He sees a good hiding spot. He runs to the closet and puts the stars behind some clothes. He comes back and says, "Okay, Sara, I'm ready. You can open your eyes and look for the stars."

Sara opens her eyes. She sees the empty spot where the stars were. She says, "Hmm, where did you hide them, Ben? Are they under the bed? Are they behind the curtain? Are they in the drawer?"

She starts to look for the stars. She lifts the bed sheet. She pulls the curtain. She opens the drawer. She does not find the stars. She says, "Ben, you are good at hiding. I can't find the stars. Can you give me a clue?"

Ben laughs. He says, "Okay, Sara, I will give you a clue. The stars are hidden where you can hang your clothes."

Sara thinks. She says, "Oh, I know. The stars are hidden in the closet. Let me check."

She runs to the closet and opens the door. She moves the clothes aside. She sees the stars. She says, "Yay, I found them. Good job, Ben. You hid them well."

She takes the stars and puts them back in their place. She says, "Now, it's my turn. I will hide one pile of toys and you will look for them."

Ben says, "Okay, Sara, I'm ready. Let's play again."

Sara and Ben continue to play. They organize their toys and hide them. They take turns finding them. They have fun and laugh. They are happy and organized.
Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore her house. One day, she saw a big curtain in the living room that covered a window. She wondered what was behind the curtain. She pulled the curtain aside and looked outside.

She saw a big tree with many green leaves and red apples. She also saw a small bird with yellow feathers and a black beak. The bird was sitting on a branch and singing a song. Lily smiled and waved at the bird. She wanted to be friends with the bird.

But the bird was scared of Lily. It did not like to see a big face in the window. It thought Lily was a monster who wanted to eat it. The bird flew away and screamed. It screamed so loud that Lily's mom heard it from the kitchen.

Lily's mom ran to the living room and saw Lily holding the curtain. She asked Lily what she was doing. Lily said she was looking at the bird. She said the bird was pretty and sang a song. She said she wanted to play with the bird.

Lily's mom hugged Lily and said she was sorry that the bird flew away. She said the bird was shy and did not like to be disturbed. She said Lily should be gentle and quiet when she sees animals. She said animals are also curious and like to explore. She said maybe the bird would come back another day if Lily was patient and respectful. Lily nodded and said she understood. She said she loved animals and wanted to be their friend. She said she would wait for the bird to come back and sing again.
Tom and Anna like to play pretend. They have a big box of toys and clothes. Sometimes they are pirates, sometimes they are doctors, sometimes they are astronauts. Today they want to be travelers. They find a map, a hat, a bag and a passport in the box.

"Where do you want to go, Anna?" Tom asks, holding the map.

"I want to go to the zoo, Tom. I want to see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants," Anna says, putting on the hat.

"OK, let's go to the zoo. But first we need to show our passport to the guard," Tom says, pointing to the bag.

They walk to the door, where their mom is sitting. She is reading a book, but she likes to play along with them.

"Hello, travelers. Where are you going?" she asks, pretending to be the guard.

"We are going to the zoo, mom. We have our passport, see?" Tom says, showing her the passport.

"Very well, travelers. You can go to the zoo. But be careful, there are some nosy animals there. They might try to take your hat or your bag," she says, smiling.

"Thank you, mom. We will be careful," Anna says, waving.

Tom and Anna go outside. They use their imagination to build the zoo. They see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants. They have fun, but they also watch out for the nosy animals. They do not want to lose their hat or their bag or their passport. They are happy travelers.
Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big barrel in the yard. It was shiny and had a hole on the top. They wondered what was inside.

"Let's look, Tim," Sam said. "Maybe there is something fun in there."

"OK, Sam," Tim said. "But be careful. It might be heavy or dirty."

They went to the barrel and lifted the lid. They saw a lot of water and bubbles. It smelled funny, but they thought it was harmless.

"Wow, look at the water, Tim," Sam said. "It's so shiny and sparkly. Can we touch it?"

"I don't know, Sam," Tim said. "Maybe we should ask Mom first."

But Sam was too curious. He reached his hand into the barrel and felt the water. It was warm and slippery. He liked it.

"Come on, Tim," Sam said. "It's fun. Try it."

Tim hesitated, but he wanted to join his brother. He put his hand in the barrel too. He felt the water and the bubbles. He smiled.

They played with the water for a while. They splashed and laughed. They didn't notice that the water was not harmless. It was a chemical that was very bad for them. It burned their skin and made them sick.

Soon, they started to feel pain and itch. They cried and screamed. They tried to get out of the barrel, but they were too weak. They fell into the water and drowned.

Mom heard their cries and ran to the yard. She saw the barrel and the water. She saw her sons' bodies. She was shocked and sad. She called for help, but it was too late. Tim and Sam were gone.
Tom and Lily were playing pretend in the garden. They had a big box that they used as a stage. Tom wanted to act like a lion and Lily wanted to act like a bird.

"Roar!" Tom said, jumping out of the box. He had a brown scarf around his neck to look like a mane. "I am the king of the jungle!"

"Tweet!" Lily said, flying out of the box. She had a feather in her hair to look like a wing. "I am the queen of the sky!"

They ran around the garden, making noises and having fun. They pretended to chase each other and hide behind the trees.

But then, they heard a loud laugh. It was their big brother, Ben. He was watching them from the window.

"What are you doing, you silly kids?" he said. "You look so funny with your scarves and feathers. You are not a lion or a bird. You are just Tom and Lily!"

Tom and Lily felt embarrassed. They stopped playing and looked at each other. They did not like Ben's laugh. It made them feel bad.

"Go away, Ben!" Tom said. "You are mean. We are acting. It is fun. You do not understand."

"Yeah, go away, Ben!" Lily said. "You are boring. We are creative. It is fun. You do not understand."

They picked up their scarves and feathers and ran back to the box. They closed the flaps and pretended that Ben was not there.

They continued to act like a lion and a bird. They did not care what Ben said. They were happy.
Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to build a big cookie castle with the dough that mom gave them. They rolled and cut and stacked the dough pieces on a tray.

"Look, our cookie castle is almost done!" Lily said. "We just need to add some candy for the windows and doors."

Ben nodded and opened the jar of candy. He picked a red one and put it on the dough. "This is the doorbell. Ding dong!"

Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from the living room. It sounded like a roar. They were frightened. What could it be?

They ran to the living room and saw a big mess. The sofa was upside down, the pillows were torn, and the books were scattered. And in the middle of it all, there was a big, furry, brown bear!

The bear saw them and growled. It was hungry and smelled the cookie dough. It wanted to eat their cookie castle!

Lily and Ben screamed and hid behind the table. They hoped that mom would come soon and chase the bear away. They wished they had not left the back door open. They learned a lesson: never build a cookie castle when there is a bear around!
Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to look for acorns under the big trees. Acorns were brown and round and had little hats on them. Sara and Ben wanted to make a necklace with acorns.

"Look, I found a big acorn!" Sara said, holding it in her hand.

"Wow, that's a nice one!" Ben said. "Can I see it?"

Sara gave the acorn to Ben. He looked at it and smiled.

"Thank you, Sara. This acorn is very pretty. Can I include it in my necklace?"

Sara nodded. "Yes, you can. We can share our acorns. Then we can have two necklaces."

Ben and Sara hugged. They were happy to be friends. They continued to look for more acorns. They found some little ones and some big ones. They made holes in them with a stick. They used a string to tie them together. They made two necklaces with acorns.

"Look, we did it!" Sara said, putting her necklace around her neck.

"Yay, we did it!" Ben said, putting his necklace around his neck.

They looked at each other and laughed. They liked their necklaces. They liked their acorns. They liked to play in the park.
Tom was a boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many toys, but his favorite was a cane. He liked to pretend he was a king or a wizard with his cane. He would wave it and say magic words.

One day, Tom's mom told him to clean his room. She said it was too messy and he had to put his toys away. Tom did not want to clean his room. He wanted to play with his cane. He said no to his mom and ran to his room. He locked the door and hid under his bed with his cane.

Tom's mom was angry. She knocked on the door and told Tom to open it. Tom did not listen. He waved his cane and said a magic word. He hoped his mom would go away. But nothing happened. His mom knocked louder and louder. Tom waved his cane harder and harder. He said more magic words. He hoped his mom would disappear.

But something else happened. His cane broke. It snapped in two. Tom was sad. He cried. He lost his favorite toy. He wished he had listened to his mom. He opened the door and said sorry to his mom. His mom hugged him and said it was okay. She said they could fix his cane. But first, they had to clean his room. Tom agreed. He learned his lesson. He did not want to end his day with a broken cane and a messy room. He wanted to end his day with a hug and a smile.
Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big kayak by the lake. It is red and yellow and has a hole in it.

"Look, a kayak!" Tom says. "Let's go and see it!"

They run to the kayak and touch it. It is wet and dirty.

"Yuck, this kayak is ugly!" Sam says. "It has a hole and it is old. I don't like it."

Tom looks at the kayak and smiles. He likes it.

"I think it is cool!" he says. "It is big and colorful. I want to play with it. Do you want to play with me?"

Sam shakes his head. He does not want to play with the ugly kayak.

"No, thank you," he says. "I want to play with something else. You can play with the kayak if you want."

Tom feels sad. He wants to play with Sam, but he also wants to play with the kayak.

"Please, Sam," he says. "It is fun to play with the kayak. We can pretend we are pirates or explorers. We can have an adventure. Please, accept the kayak and play with me."

Sam looks at Tom and sees that he is sad. He thinks for a moment. He likes Tom and he likes to have fun. He decides to give the kayak a chance.

"Okay, Tom," he says. "I will accept the kayak and play with you. But only for a little while. Then we can play with something else."

Tom is happy. He hugs Sam and says thank you. They climb into the kayak and pretend they are pirates or explorers. They have an adventure. They have fun. They are friends.
Tom and Anna are playing with their toys. Tom has a big truck and Anna has a doll. Tom likes to make the truck go vroom and honk. Anna likes to dress the doll and comb her hair.

Anna sees a shiny star on the floor. She wants to show Tom. She picks up the star and says, "Look, Tom, a star!" She holds the star in her hand and points to it.

Tom looks at Anna and the star. He is confused. He does not know what a star is. He says, "What is that? That is not a toy. That is a pointy thing. It can hurt you."

Anna says, "No, Tom, this is a star. It is pretty and sparkly. It is not a pointy thing. It is a star. You can have it if you want."

Tom shakes his head. He does not want the star. He says, "No, thank you, Anna. I do not like the star. I like my truck. You can keep the star. Please be careful with it. Do not poke yourself."

Anna smiles. She says, "Okay, Tom. I will be careful with the star. I will put it in my pocket. Thank you for playing with me. Do you want to play some more?"

Tom nods. He says, "Yes, Anna. I want to play some more. Let's play with the truck and the doll. They are fun toys. They are not pointy things. They are toys."
One day, Lily and Max went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide that was purple. Lily and Max liked purple. They wanted to go on the slide.

"Can we go on the slide, mom?" they asked.

"Sure, but be careful. The slide is very fast. You will speed down like a rocket," mom said.

Lily and Max ran to the slide. They took turns to climb up the ladder and sit on the top. They looked down and saw the world below them. They felt excited and scared.

"Are you ready, Lily?" Max asked.

"Yes, I am ready, Max. Let's go together," Lily said.

They held hands and pushed off. They speed down the slide, feeling the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They screamed and laughed. They felt like they were flying.

One day, her friend Ben came to visit. He saw Anna's whip and wanted to play with it. He asked Anna, "Can I borrow your whip? Please, please, please?" Anna did not want to share her whip. She said, "No, it is mine. You cannot borrow it." Ben was sad and angry. He thought Anna was mean.

Ben waited until Anna was not looking. He grabbed her whip and ran away. He thought he was clever. He whipped the air and made a loud sound. He felt like a hero with his whip.

But Anna saw him. She was very mad. She ran after him and shouted, "Give me back my whip! You are a thief!" Ben was scared. He tried to run faster, but he tripped and fell. The whip flew out of his hand and landed on a rock. The rock was sharp and cut the whip. The whip was broken.

Anna and Ben both cried. They looked at the whip and felt sorry. It was not perfect anymore. It was ruined. They wished they had been nicer to each other. They said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." They hugged and made up. They decided to play with other toys and share them. They learned a lesson. They never borrowed without asking again.
Lily liked to answer questions. She was good at it. She knew many things. She liked to learn new things. She had a big dream. She wanted to be a teacher. She wanted to help other children learn.

One day, Lily went to school. She was happy. She had a test. She studied hard for it. She knew all the answers. She was sure she would do well. She wanted to make her teacher proud.

But when she got to school, something bad happened. A big boy took her test. He said it was his. He said he was smarter than her. He said she was stupid. He tore her test in half. He threw it in the trash. He laughed at her.

Lily was very sad. She cried. She did not have a test anymore. She could not answer the questions. She could not show what she knew. She could not be a teacher. She felt like her dream was gone.

The teacher came. She saw Lily crying. She saw the torn test. She saw the big boy. She was angry. She asked what happened. Lily tried to tell her. But the big boy lied. He said Lily took his test. He said Lily tore it. He said Lily was bad.

The teacher did not believe Lily. She thought Lily was lying. She thought Lily was cheating. She thought Lily was bad. She scolded Lily. She gave her a zero. She sent her to the corner.

Lily felt very hurt. She felt very alone. She felt very hopeless. She did not have a test. She did not have a dream. She did not have a teacher. She did not have a friend. She did not have a happy ending.
One day, a little girl named Mia went to visit her grandma. Grandma lived in a big house with a lot of rooms and a lot of things. Mia liked to explore the house and see what she could find.

In one room, Mia saw a big bed with a lot of pillows and a big blanket. The blanket was very old and had holes and stains on it. Mia thought the blanket was disgusting and did not want to touch it. She said to herself, "Yuck! This blanket is dirty and ugly. I don't like it at all."

Then, Grandma came into the room and saw Mia looking at the blanket. Grandma smiled and said, "Do you like my blanket, Mia? This is a very special blanket. It was made by my mother, who loved me very much. She gave it to me when I was a little girl like you. She used to wrap me in it when I was cold or sad or scared. This blanket is full of love and memories. It is not disgusting, it is precious."

Mia felt sorry for what she had said. She realized that the blanket was not just a thing, but a gift from Grandma's mother. She hugged Grandma and said, "I'm sorry, Grandma. I didn't know that. I was wrong. Your blanket is not disgusting, it is beautiful. Can you wrap me in it and tell me stories about your mother?"

Grandma was happy and said, "Of course, my dear. Come, let me welcome you to my bed. I have many stories to share with you. And maybe, one day, you can have this blanket and pass it on to your children. It is a family treasure."

Mia and Grandma cuddled under the blanket and talked for a long time. Mia learned a lot about Grandma's mother and how she lived and loved. She also learned to appreciate the things that have meaning and history, not just the things that look nice and new. She felt warm and cozy and loved under the blanket. She was glad she had visited Grandma.
Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play in the sand. They had a spade each and made castles and tunnels. One day, they saw a big hole in the fence near the sandpit. They were curious and wanted to see what was behind it.

"Let's go and look," said Tom.

"OK, but be careful," said Sam.

They pushed the spade through the hole and made it wider. Then they crawled through and found a garden with flowers and trees. They were amazed and ran around, smelling the flowers and picking the fruits.

But they did not see the old man who lived in the house. He was angry when he saw them in his garden. He came out and shouted at them.

"Hey, you! What are you doing here? This is my garden, not yours! You have ruined my fence and my flowers! Go away!"

Tom and Sam were scared and ran back to the hole. They grabbed their spades and tried to get out. But the hole was too small and they got stuck.

"Help, help!" they cried.

The old man came closer and saw them. He felt sorry for them and helped them out. He was not so angry anymore.

"Why did you come to my garden?" he asked.

"We were curious, we wanted to see what was behind the fence," said Tom.

"We are sorry, we did not mean to hurt your garden," said Sam.

The old man nodded and said, "I understand, but you should not break other people's things. You should ask before you enter. And you should respect nature and not pick the flowers and fruits. They are not toys, they are living things."

Tom and Sam felt ashamed and said, "We are sorry, we did not know. We will not do it again."

The old man smiled and said, "It's OK, I forgive you. But you have to help me repair the fence and the garden. Do you agree?"

Tom and Sam nodded and said, "Yes, we agree. We will help you."

The old man gave them some tools and showed them how to fix the fence and the garden. They worked hard and learned a lot. They also talked to the old man and found out he was lonely and liked to grow plants. They became friends and visited him often. They played in the sand and in the garden, but always with his permission and care. They learned to be respectful and helpful, and they had fun.
Lily loved her doll very much. She gave her doll a name, Anna, and played with her every day. She liked to dress her doll, comb her hair, and hug her tight. Lily and Anna were best friends.

One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the store. Lily wanted to bring Anna with her, but her mom said no. She said Lily had to leave Anna at home, because the store was not a place for dolls. Lily was sad, but she did what her mom said. She put Anna on her bed and kissed her goodbye.

At the store, Lily saw many things. She saw toys, books, clothes, and candy. She wanted to look at everything, but her mom said they had to hurry. Lily followed her mom, but she missed Anna. She wished Anna was with her.

When they came back home, Lily ran to her room. She wanted to see Anna and tell her about the store. But when she got to her bed, she saw something that made her scream. Anna was not there. Instead, there was a big, ugly, scary bear. The bear had Anna's dress, Anna's hair, and Anna's eyes. But it was not Anna. It was a monster.

Lily was very scared and confused. She did not know what happened to Anna. She did not know who put the bear there. She did not know what to do. She cried and cried, and called for her mom. But her mom did not hear her. Her mom was busy in the kitchen. She did not know that Lily was in trouble. She did not know that someone had taken Anna and left a bear. She did not know that Lily was very unhappy. She did not know that Lily's doll was gone.

They see an elephant toy on the shelf. It is white and soft. They think it is boring. They want to make it colorful. They take the black paint and pour it on the elephant. They rub it with their hands. They laugh and say it looks funny.

But Mom sees them and gets angry. She says they made a big mess. She says they ruined the elephant. She says they have to clean up and say sorry. Tom and Sam are scared and sad. They try to wash the paint off the elephant, but it does not come off. The elephant is black and hard. They cry and say sorry, but Mom is still mad. They have no more paint and no more elephant. They have no more fun.
Anna and her mom were going to the zoo. They had to take a taxi, because the zoo was far away. Anna was very excited to see the animals. She wanted to see the lions, the monkeys, and the elephants.

They waited on the street for a taxi. Anna saw a yellow car with a sign on top. She pointed and said, "Look, mom, a taxi!"

Her mom waved her hand and the taxi stopped. They got in and told the driver where to go. The driver was a nice man. He smiled and said, "Are you ready for a fast ride?"

Anna nodded and said, "Yes, please!"

The taxi zoomed through the streets. It passed other cars, buses, and bikes. Anna looked out the window and saw many things. She saw shops, parks, and people. She saw a big bridge over a river. She saw a tall tower with a clock.

The driver said, "We are almost there. Do you see the zoo?"

Anna looked ahead and saw a big gate with a sign that said, "Zoo". She saw some trees and some roofs. She said, "Yes, I see it!"

The driver said, "Good. Hold on tight, we are going to shake a little."

Anna wondered what he meant. She held her mom's hand. Suddenly, the taxi turned sharply and went over a bump. Anna felt a jolt and a bounce. She giggled and said, "That was fun!"

The driver said, "That was the last shake. We are here. Have a nice day at the zoo!"

"Hello, children. I am Miss Wolf. I am your teacher for today. Do you want to learn some new words?" Miss Wolf says.

Tim and Lily shake their heads. They want their old teacher back. They do not like Miss Wolf. She looks like a big, scary animal.

"Come on, don't be shy. Let's play a game. I will say a word, and you will jump if you know what it means. Ready?" Miss Wolf says.

She says some words that Tim and Lily do not know. She says "fur", "claw", "howl", and "hunt". Tim and Lily do not jump. They do not want to play.

Miss Wolf is angry. She growls and shows her teeth. She says "You are bad children. You do not listen to me. You do not learn. You make me mad. I will teach you a lesson."

She walks towards Tim and Lily. They are very scared. They scream and run away. They look for a place to hide.

They see a closet. They open the door and go inside. They close the door behind them. They hope Miss Wolf will not find them.

They see some coats and hats in the closet. They put them on. They pretend they are someone else. They feel a little better.

They hear Miss Wolf outside. She is looking for them. She says "Where are you, children? I can smell you. I can hear you. I will find you. And then I will eat you."

Tim and Lily are very scared. They hug each other. They wish Miss Wolf would go away. They wish their old teacher would come back. They wish they were home.
Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They ran to the tree and sat under it. They liked the shade. It was cool and dark.

Ben and Lily stopped crying. They looked at Spot. Spot wagged his tail and licked their faces. Ben and Lily smiled. They petted Spot and gave him the treat. They said thank you to the man. They said Spot was a good dog.

They played with Spot for a while. They threw a ball and Spot fetched it. They scratched his ears and belly. They laughed and had fun. They were not scared anymore. They were happy.

They were also sleepy. They had played a lot. They said goodbye to Spot and the man. They walked back to their mom. She was sitting on a bench. She smiled and hugged them. She said they had a good time. She said it was time to go home and take a nap.

Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big box of toys that they kept in their room. But they also had a secret toy that they hid under their bed. It was a shiny key that could unlock any door.

One day, when their mom was busy in the kitchen, they decided to use the key to unlock the door to the basement. They had never been to the basement before, and they wanted to see what was there. They took the key and ran to the door. They put the key in the hole and turned it. The door opened with a click.

They went down the stairs and looked around. The basement was dark and cold. There were many boxes and bags and things they did not know. They saw a big freezer that had a lock on it. They wondered what was inside. They used the key to unlock the freezer. They opened the lid and gasped.

Inside the freezer, there were many vegetables. But they were not regular vegetables. They were big and weird and scary. There were carrots as long as snakes, potatoes with eyes and teeth, cabbages with legs and arms, and tomatoes that looked like balls of fire. The vegetables started to move and make noises. They were angry and hungry. They wanted to eat Tim and Kim.

Tim and Kim were very scared. They slammed the lid and locked the freezer. They ran up the stairs and closed the door. They threw the key away and hugged each other.

Lily liked to bake with her mom. They made cakes and cookies and pies. Lily learned how to mix and measure and pour. She felt happy when she baked.

One day, mom had to go to the store. She told Lily to stay in the living room and watch TV. She said she would be back soon. Lily nodded, but she was bored. She wanted to bake something.

She remembered that mom had a big book of recipes in the kitchen. She thought it was a history book, because it had pictures of old people and old things. She decided to sneak into the kitchen and look at the book. Maybe she could find a recipe to bake.

She climbed on a chair and reached for the book on the shelf. But the book was heavy and slippery. It fell on her head and made a loud noise. Lily cried out in pain. She felt blood on her forehead. She was scared and uncomfortable.

She heard the door open. It was mom. She saw Lily on the floor with the book and the blood. She screamed and ran to her. She hugged her and called for help. She was angry and sad. She wished she had never left Lily alone. She wished Lily had never touched the book. She wished they had never baked.
Anna likes to play with her mom's mugs. She thinks they are pretty and shiny. She likes to attach them to each other with string and make a long train. She pretends they are cars and people.

But mom does not like Anna to play with her mugs. She says they are delicate and can break. She says they are for drinking tea and coffee, not for playing. She tells Anna to use her own toys instead.

One day, Anna finds a new mug in the kitchen. It is white and has a picture of a flower on it. Anna thinks it is the most beautiful mug ever. She wants to add it to her train. She takes it and runs to her room.

But mom sees Anna with the mug. She is angry and scared. She follows Anna and shouts, "Anna, stop! That is my special mug! It was a gift from grandma! It is very delicate and precious! Give it back to me!"

Anna is scared too. She does not want to make mom angry. But she also does not want to give up the mug. She loves it too much. She tries to hide it under her pillow. But mom reaches her and pulls the pillow away. The mug falls to the floor and breaks into pieces.

Mom and Anna are both sad and sorry. They hug and cry. Mom says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I know you liked the mug. But it was not a toy. It was very delicate and fragile. You have to be careful with things like that."

Anna says, "I'm sorry, mom. I did not mean to break the mug. I just wanted to play with it. It was so pretty and shiny. I did not know it was from grandma. I love grandma."

Mom says, "I love you, Anna. And I love grandma too. Maybe we can fix the mug. Or maybe we can find another one. But next time, please ask me before you take something that is not yours. And please use your own toys to play. They are more fun and safe."

Anna says, "OK, mom. I will. Can we still play with the string?"

Mom says, "Yes, we can. But only with your toys. Not with my mugs."

They smile and hug again. They pick up the pieces of the mug and the string. They go to the kitchen and make some tea and cookies. They share them and talk about grandma. They are happy and love each other.
Lily loved to decorate. She liked to put stickers, ribbons and glitter on everything. She wanted to make her room look like a princess castle. She had a big poster of a princess on her wall. She thought the princess was very pretty and kind.

One day, Lily found a can of paint in the garage. It was pink, her favorite color. She thought it would be fun to decorate her poster with the paint. She took the can and a brush and went to her room. She did not ask her mom or dad, because they were busy.

She opened the can and dipped the brush in the paint. She started to paint over the princess's face, hair and dress. She thought she was making the princess more beautiful. She did not see that the paint was dripping on the floor, the bed and the wall. She did not hear her mom calling her name.

Soon, her mom came to her room and saw the mess. She was very angry and sad. She shouted at Lily and took the can and the brush away. She told Lily that she had ruined the poster, the carpet and the furniture. She said that Lily had to clean up everything and that she could not decorate anything for a long time.

"Look, Ben, I made a hat for my doll. Do you like it?" she asked.

Ben looked at the hat. He saw the pin sticking out of the paper. He did not think it was a good hat. He thought it was a bad hat.

"I don't like it, Lily. The pin is sharp. It can hurt your doll. And the paper is not smooth. It is wrinkled. It is not a pretty hat," he said.

Lily felt sad. She liked her hat. She thought it was a good hat. She did not want to hurt her doll. She did not want to make Ben angry.

"Sorry, Ben. I tried to make a good hat. Maybe you can help me make a better one. What kind of hat do you want to make?" she asked.

Ben thought for a moment. He wanted to make a hat for his car. He looked around for a good piece of paper and a pin. He saw a smooth and shiny paper. It was silver. He liked it.

"I want to make a hat with this paper. It is smooth and shiny. It is a good paper. And I want to use this pin. It is not sharp. It is round. It is a good pin. Come, Lily, let's make a hat with this paper and this pin," he said.

"I like it, Ben. The pin is round. It does not hurt your car. And the paper is smooth and shiny. It is a pretty hat. You are a good friend. Thank you for helping me make a hat," she said.

"Wow, this fan is so colorful!" Lily says. "Can we play with it?"

"Sure, let's play with it!" Ben says. "Maybe we can make it spin."

Ben stops crying and smiles. He takes the half cone and says, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. I love you." He licks the half cone and says, "Mmm, this is incredible too!" He is happy again.
