Max said, "Wow, Lily! That's incredible! Can I play too?" Lily smiled and said, "Of course, Max! Reach out your hand and help me make a big castle!" Together, Lily and Max built the most incredible castle they had ever made. They played in it all day long, pretending to be knights and princesses. When it was time for dinner, they were sad to leave their cardboard castle behind. As they went inside, Max said, "Thanks for letting me play, Lily. That was so much fun!" Lily smiled and said, "Anytime, Max. We can make something even more incredible next time!" Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside and explore the world around her. One day, she found a long stick on the ground. It was a thick pole, and she thought it was perfect for playing. As she was playing with the stick, she saw her friend Timmy walking by. "Hi Timmy!" she shouted. "Do you want to play with me?" Timmy looked at the stick and said, "That's a cool pole. Can we unite our sticks and make it longer?" Lily smiled and said, "Yes, let's do it!" They put their sticks together and made a very long pole. They had so much fun playing with it and pretending they were explorers on a great adventure. From that day on, they always played together and united their toys to make them even more fun. They learned that sometimes, things are better when you work together. Once upon a time, there was a soft bunny named Benny. Benny loved to hop and play in the green grass. One day, he saw a little boy with a toy car. Benny wanted to play with the toy car, so he went up to the boy and said, "Can we trade toys?" The boy said yes, and they traded the toy car for Benny's carrot. As Benny was hopping away with the toy car, he accidentally hit the boy's hand with his tail. The boy got mad and slapped Benny on the back. Benny was sad and didn't understand why the boy was mean to him. He decided to go back and give the toy car back to the boy. The boy felt bad and apologized to Benny. From that day on, they became friends and played together often. Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She lived in a village with her mom and dad. One day, Lily found a fake butterfly in her garden. She picked it up and showed it to her mom. "Look, mommy! I found a pretty butterfly!" Lily exclaimed. Her mom looked at the butterfly and said, "Oh, that's not a real butterfly, Lily. It's fake." Lily was sad that her butterfly wasn't real. She wanted to play with a real butterfly. Her mom said, "Let's go to the park. Maybe we can find a real butterfly there." So, Lily and her mom went to the park. They saw lots of real butterflies flying around. Lily was so happy! She said, "Mommy, thank you for bringing me to the park. I love real butterflies!" Once upon a time, a little bunny named Coco was hopping around in the forest. Coco was feeling very cold and he wished he had a warm coat. Suddenly, he saw a big horn on the ground. Coco picked it up and asked his friend, a wise old owl, "Do you believe this horn can keep me warm?" The owl replied, "No, Coco. A horn is not for keeping warm. But I know a way to keep you warm. You need to find some soft fur to make a coat." Coco thanked the owl and went on his way. He met a kind deer who gave him some fur. Coco made a coat and felt very warm. He went back to the owl and said, "Thank you, wise owl. I believe you were right. A horn cannot keep me warm, but friends can keep me warm." The moral of the story is that friends are more important than things. Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside with her friends, but her skin always got dry and itchy. Her mom told her to use lotion to make it feel better. One day, Lily's friend Emma came over and saw the lotion on the table. "What's that?" Emma asked. "It's lotion," Lily said. "It makes my skin feel better." Emma tried it too and said, "Wow, this is popular! Can I use some more?" Lily said, "Sure, just release the bottle when you're done." From then on, Lily and Emma always used lotion when they played outside. Their skin felt great and they had even more fun together. Once upon a time, there was a little fish named Tuna. Tuna lived in the big ocean with all his fish friends. One day, Tuna saw a big ship sailing by. The ship was very high and Tuna wanted to see it up close. So, Tuna swam up to the surface of the water and saw the ship. Suddenly, a big wave came and Tuna got caught in it. Tuna tried to swim away, but the wave was too strong. Tuna got pushed closer and closer to the ship. Tuna was scared and didn't know what to do. Then, Tuna saw a big bow on the ship coming towards him. Tuna tried to swim away, but it was too late. The bow hit Tuna and he was hurt. Tuna's fish friends tried to help him, but it was too late. Tuna didn't make it. Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy liked to play with his toys in the bathtub. One day, Timmy was playing with his rubber duckie when he accidentally poked a hole in it with his finger. Water started to come out of the hole in the duckie and it wouldn't float anymore. Timmy was sad. Timmy's mom came in and saw the water draining out of the duckie. She told Timmy that the duckie was tough, but sometimes things get holes in them and they need to be fixed. Timmy's mom got some tape and fixed the hole in the duckie. Now the duckie could float again and Timmy was happy. Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a pretty, delicate flower that she loved very much. One day, Lily's friend came over to play. They had a lot of fun together, but then Lily's friend accidentally stepped on her delicate flower. Lily was very sad and started to cry. Her friend felt bad and tried to talk to her to make her feel better. But Lily was still upset. Then, Lily's mom came over and saw what happened. She didn't judge anyone, but instead, she helped Lily and her friend understand what happened and how they could make it better. Together, they planted a new flower and talked about how to be more careful in the future. From then on, Lily and her friend were more careful with delicate things. Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to eat juicy peaches. One day, she went to the market with her mom and saw a big basket of peaches. She stared at them for a long time and her mouth watered. Lily's mom bought her a peach and they went back home. Lily took a bite and it was so sweet and tasty. She loved the peach so much that she ate it all up in one go. As the sun started to set, the light outside turned orange and pink. Lily looked out the window and saw the beautiful colors. She felt happy and content after her yummy peach snack. Anna was sick. She had a fever and a cough. Mom put a thermometer in her mouth to see how hot she was. Anna did not like the thermometer. It was cold and hard and made her tongue feel funny. Mom said, "You have to keep the thermometer in your mouth for a little while, Anna. It will tell me if you need medicine or not." Anna nodded. She wanted to feel better. She wanted to play with her toys and her dog. But then, she heard a loud noise outside. It was a thunderstorm. Anna was scared of thunderstorms. They made big booms and flashes. They were dangerous. She wanted to hide under her blanket. She forgot about the thermometer and opened her mouth to cry. The thermometer fell out and broke on the floor. It made a crack sound and spilled some silver stuff. Mom gasped and ran to pick it up. "Anna, don't touch that! It's mercury! It's very dangerous!" Mom said. She threw the broken thermometer in the trash and washed her hands. Then she hugged Anna and said, "It's okay, sweetie. I'm sorry you got scared. The storm will pass soon. I'll get you another thermometer and some juice. You'll be fine." Anna felt a little better. She snuggled with Mom and her dog and waited for the storm to end. Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. One day, they see a glass on the table. The glass is full of water. Lily wants to drink the water. She says, "I am thirsty. I want the water." Tom says, "No, Lily. The water is hot. Mommy put it there for tea. You will burn your mouth. We have to wait for Mommy." But Lily does not listen. She says, "I don't care. I want the water now." She reaches for the glass. Tom tries to stop her. He says, "Lily, stop! You will hurt yourself!" But Lily is too fast. She grabs the glass. The glass is very hot. Lily drops the glass. The glass breaks. The water spills. Lily cries. She says, "Ow, ow, ow! My hand is hot! It hurts!" Tom is scared. He says, "Lily, I am sorry. I tried to help you. Are you okay?" Mommy hears the noise. She runs to the kitchen. She sees the broken glass and the water. She sees Lily and Tom. She says, "What happened? Are you both okay?" Tom tells Mommy what happened. Mommy hugs Lily and Tom. She says, "Lily, you are very brave. But you have to listen to Tom. He knows what is good for you. He is your brother. He loves you. And you have to be careful with hot things. They can hurt you. Do you understand?" Lily nods. She says, "I understand, Mommy. I am sorry. I love you and Tom. I will listen to him next time." Mommy says, "I love you too, Lily. And I love you, Tom. You are a good brother. You tried to protect Lily. You are very kind. Come, let me clean your hand and give you a band-aid. Then we can have some juice and cookies." Lily and Tom smile. They say, "Thank you, Mommy. You are the best." The moral of the story is: Listen to your siblings. They care for you. And be careful with hot things. They can hurt you. A young raven liked to fold things. He folded leaves, sticks, feathers, and anything he could find. He made shapes and patterns with his beak and claws. He was very proud of his folding skills. One day, he saw a big shiny thing on the ground. It was a silver paper. He flew down and picked it up. He wanted to fold it into something beautiful. He tried to bend it, but it was hard and noisy. He tried to twist it, but it cut his beak. He tried to tear it, but it was too strong. He was frustrated and angry. He cawed loudly and threw the paper away. He did not like the silver paper. It was not good for folding. Another raven heard his caw and came to see what was wrong. She was older and wiser than him. She saw the silver paper and smiled. "What are you doing, little one?" she asked. "I was trying to fold this thing, but it is bad. It hurts me and makes noise. I hate it!" he said. She nodded and said, "That is not a thing for folding. That is a thing for shining. It reflects the light and makes it sparkle. It is very pretty, but not very useful. You have to be careful with it. It can hurt you and scare away other animals." She picked up the paper and showed him how it shone in the sun. He saw the colors and shapes that it made. He was amazed and curious. "Wow, that is pretty. How do you do that?" he asked. She explained, "You have to hold it at the right angle and move it slowly. You can make different patterns and effects. It is fun, but not as fun as folding. Folding is your talent. You are very good at it. You should keep folding things that are good for folding, like leaves and sticks and feathers. They are soft and flexible and easy to shape. They are also natural and safe. You can make wonderful things with them." He listened and understood. He thanked her for teaching him and showing him the silver paper. He said he would keep folding things that were good for folding, but he would also like to see the silver paper shine sometimes. She agreed and said they could be friends and share their skills. They flew away together, happy and content. Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys. One day, Mom takes them to the store. She says they can each pick one toy. Lily sees a doll with long hair. She wants it. She takes it to Mom. Mom says, "OK, you can have the doll." Ben sees a car with big wheels. He wants it. He takes it to Mom. Mom says, "Sorry, Ben, the car is too expensive. You have to pick another toy." Ben is sad. He does not want another toy. He wants the car. He says, "No, I want the car. Please, Mom, please." Mom says, "No, Ben, you have to listen. The car is not for you. Put it back and find something else." Ben is angry. He does not listen. He holds the car tight. He says, "No, I will not put it back. It is mine." Mom is upset. She says, "Ben, you are being naughty. You have to share. The car is not yours. It belongs to the store. If you do not put it back, we will go home and you will have no toy." Ben does not answer. He still holds the car tight. He does not look at Mom. He looks at the car. Mom says, "Ben, this is your last chance. Put the car back or we will leave." Ben does not answer. He still holds the car tight. Mom says, "OK, that's it. We are leaving. Come on, Lily, let's go." Lily follows Mom. She holds her doll. She feels sorry for Ben. She says, "Bye, Ben. Maybe next time you can have the car." Ben does not say bye. He still holds the car tight. He does not want to leave. But Mom takes his hand. She pulls him away from the car. She says, "We are going home, Ben. You have to learn to be good." Ben cries. He does not want to go home. He wants the car. But he has no choice. He has to go home. He has no toy. He is sad. He is sorry. He wishes he had listened to Mom. Lila was a bird who liked to fly. She flew high in the sky and saw many things. She saw trees and flowers and houses and cars. She saw other birds and said hello to them. She felt happy and free. One day, Lila saw a big black cloud. It was loud and scary. It made thunder and lightning. Lila was afraid. She wanted to fly away from the cloud. But the wind was strong and pushed her. She could not fly where she wanted to go. Lila saw a big tree. It had green leaves and a hole. Lila flew to the hole. She went inside. It was dark and cozy. She felt safe. She heard the rain and the thunder outside. But she was not scared anymore. She waited for the cloud to go away. After a while, the cloud was gone. The sun came out. It was bright and warm. Lila came out of the hole. She saw a rainbow. It was colorful and pretty. She smiled. She flew to the rainbow. She wanted to touch it. On the way, she met a butterfly. It was yellow and blue. It had wings like Lila. It said hello to Lila. Lila said hello back. They became friends. They flew together to the rainbow. They had fun. They felt nice. Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big truck with a red cross. The truck has a loud siren. "What is that?" Lily asks. "That is an ambulance. It helps people who are sick or hurt," Ben says. They watch the truck stop near a bench. Two people get out. They wear white clothes and masks. They have a big bag and a small tank. "What are they doing?" Lily asks. "They are bringing oxygen to someone who cannot breathe well. Oxygen is air that we need to live," Ben says. They see an old lady on the bench. She looks pale and tired. She has a tube in her nose. The people put the tube to the tank. They talk to the lady and check her pulse. "Is she going to be okay?" Lily asks. "I hope so. She looks very nice. Maybe she is someone's grandma," Ben says. They see a cute dog next to the lady. The dog has a red collar and a tag. It wags its tail and licks the lady's hand. The lady smiles and pets the dog. "Look, she has a dog. The dog loves her. The dog is cute," Lily says. "Yes, the dog is cute. Maybe the dog helps her feel better. Dogs are good friends," Ben says. They hear the siren again. The truck is ready to go. The people help the lady get on a stretcher. They put the stretcher and the dog in the truck. They wave to Lily and Ben. "Bye, lady. Bye, dog. Get well soon," Lily and Ben say. They watch the truck drive away. They hope the lady and the dog are happy and safe. They go back to playing in the park. They are happy and safe too. Tom and Lily liked to play with their toy trains. They had many trains of different colors and sizes. They made tracks on the floor and pretended to be drivers. One day, they found a new train in a box. It was a big red train with a shiny engine. It looked very fast and strong. Tom and Lily wanted to try it. "Can I be the driver?" Tom asked. "No, I want to be the driver!" Lily said. They both grabbed the train and pulled. The train broke in two. The engine fell off and the wheels came off. Tom and Lily were sad and angry. "Look what you did!" Tom said. "No, you did it!" Lily said. They started to cry. Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken train and the mess on the floor. "Oh, dear. What happened here?" Mom asked. Tom and Lily told her what happened. They blamed each other for breaking the train. Mom shook her head. She picked up the pieces and put them on the table. "I'm sorry, but this train is not an ordinary train. It is a special train that hangs on the wall. It is not for playing. It is for looking. It was a gift from your uncle. He is a train collector. He sent it to us to show us his hobby. He wrote a note. See?" Mom said. She showed them the note. It said: "Dear Tom and Lily, I hope you like this train. It is a rare model of a steam engine. It is very old and valuable. It is not a toy. Please do not touch it. Just hang it on the wall and enjoy it. Love, Uncle Bob." Tom and Lily felt sorry. They did not know it was a special train. They did not mean to break it. "We're sorry, Mom. We didn't know. We thought it was a toy. We like trains. We wanted to play with it." Tom said. "We're sorry, Uncle Bob. We didn't read your note. We thought it was an ordinary train. We like trains. We wanted to play with it." Lily said. Mom hugged them and smiled. "It's okay. I know you like trains. And I know you didn't mean to break it. But you have to be careful with things that are not yours. And you have to read the notes that come with them. Maybe we can fix it. Or maybe we can get another one. Or maybe we can visit Uncle Bob and see his train collection. Would you like that?" Mom asked. Tom and Lily nodded. They said they would like that. They said they were sorry again. They said they loved Mom and Uncle Bob. They said they loved trains. But they learned to be careful with special trains that hang on the wall. Lily and Max are twins. They like to play together, but they are also competitive. They want to be the best at everything. One day, they decide to race on the slide at the park. They climb up the ladder and sit on the top. Lily says, "I will go first. I am faster than you." Max says, "No, I will go first. I am braver than you." They start to argue and push each other. They do not see the puddle of water on the slide. Lily pushes Max too hard and he slips. He slides down the slide very fast and splashes into the puddle. He gets wet and cold. He cries, "Ow, ow, ow! That hurts!" Lily feels sorry for Max. She slides down the slide to help him. She says, "I am sorry, Max. I did not mean to hurt you. Are you okay?" She looks at his eye. It is red and swollen. She says, "Oh no, your eye! It looks bad. We need to tell Mommy." They run to their mommy, who is sitting on a bench. She sees their wet clothes and Max's eye. She says, "What happened, my darlings? Did you have an accident?" Lily and Max tell her what happened. She hugs them and says, "I am glad you are not hurt too much. But you need to be careful on the slide. And you need to share and be nice to each other. You are twins, but you are also friends." Lily and Max nod and say, "We are sorry, Mommy. We will share and be nice to each other." They hug their mommy and each other. They learn their lesson. They still like to play together, but they are not so competitive anymore. Lily liked to polish her hat. It was a big hat with a shiny star on it. She used a soft cloth and some water to make it sparkle. She felt happy when she wore her hat. One day, she went to the park with her hat. She saw some other kids playing with a ball. She wanted to join them, but they did not let her. They said her hat was silly and they laughed at her. Lily felt upset. She ran away and hid behind a tree. She cried and hugged her hat. She wished she had a friend who liked her hat. Then, she heard a voice. It was a boy with a big smile and a red scarf. He said, "Hi, I'm Ben. I like your hat. It's very pretty. Can I see it?" Lily looked up and wiped her tears. She smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Thank you. You can see it." She showed him her hat and he touched the star. He said, "Wow, it's so shiny. How do you make it shine?" Lily said, "I polish it with a cloth and water. Do you want to try?" Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please." Lily gave him the cloth and he polished the hat. They laughed and talked. They became friends. They played with the ball and the hat. Lily felt happy again. She was glad she met Ben. He liked her hat and he liked her. Tommy loved to play with his toy aeroplane. He liked to make it fly in the air and make zooming noises. He pretended he was a pilot and went on adventures. He always kept his aeroplane in his toy box when he was done. One day, Tommy's mom told him they were going to visit his grandma. Tommy was excited. He wanted to show his grandma his aeroplane. He ran to his toy box and grabbed his aeroplane. He put it in his backpack and zipped it up. Tommy and his mom got in the car and drove to the airport. Tommy saw many big aeroplanes in the sky. He wondered if his aeroplane could fly as high as them. He wanted to take it out of his backpack and play with it, but his mom said he had to wait until they got on the plane. They got out of the car and walked to the terminal. Tommy saw a lot of people and bags and carts. He held his mom's hand and followed her. He was careful not to stumble or bump into anyone. He was a good boy. They got to the gate and waited for their boarding call. Tommy saw a window and ran to it. He wanted to see the aeroplane they were going to fly on. He pressed his nose against the glass and looked outside. He saw a big, shiny, blue aeroplane. It had a red stripe and a white star on the tail. It looked like his toy aeroplane. Tommy was so happy. He wanted to show his mom and his grandma his aeroplane. He reached for his backpack and opened it. He looked inside and gasped. His aeroplane was not there. He saw only his clothes and his books and his snacks. His aeroplane was gone. Tommy felt sad and scared. He wondered where his aeroplane was. He remembered he had zipped it up in his backpack. He remembered he had held his mom's hand and walked to the terminal. He remembered he had been careful not to stumble or bump into anyone. He did not remember dropping his aeroplane or leaving it behind. He started to cry. He ran to his mom and hugged her. He told her his aeroplane was missing. He asked her to help him find it. He hoped it was not lost forever. His mom hugged him back and wiped his tears. She told him not to worry. She said they would look for his aeroplane. She said maybe someone had found it and turned it in. She said maybe it was still in the car or in the toy box. She said they would find it together. She took his hand and walked to the lost and found. She asked the lady behind the counter if anyone had brought in a toy aeroplane. The lady smiled and nodded. She reached under the counter and pulled out a toy aeroplane. It was Tommy's aeroplane. It was big, shiny, blue, with a red stripe and a white star on the tail. It looked like the aeroplane they were going to fly on. Tommy was so happy. He thanked the lady and took his aeroplane. He hugged it and kissed it. He put it back in his backpack and zipped it up. He told his mom he was sorry for being messy and losing his aeroplane. He said he would be more careful next time. His mom smiled and kissed him. She said she was proud of him for being brave and honest. She said she loved him and his aeroplane. She said they were ready to board the plane and fly to grandma's. They walked to the gate and showed their tickets. They got on the plane and found their seats. Tommy looked out the window and saw the big, shiny, blue aeroplane. He felt his toy aeroplane in his backpack. He felt happy and safe. He was ready for his adventure. Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big bunch of grapes on the vine. They wanted to eat some. "Let's get some grapes!" Lily said. "OK!" Ben said. They ran to the vine and tried to reach the grapes. But they were too high. They could not get them. "Maybe we can find a ladder," Ben said. "Or a chair," Lily said. They looked around the garden. They saw a cat. The cat was black and white. The cat saw the grapes too. The cat jumped on the fence. The cat walked along the fence. The cat reached the vine. The cat bit a grape. "Look! The cat got a grape!" Lily said. "Let's follow the cat!" Ben said. They followed the cat on the fence. They were careful not to fall. They got closer to the vine. They saw more grapes. They stretched their arms. They grabbed some grapes. "Yay! We got some grapes!" Lily said. "Yum! They are sweet and juicy!" Ben said. They ate the grapes. They shared with the cat. The cat purred. They were happy. They got down from the fence. They were tired. They lay on the grass. They looked at the sky. They saw clouds and birds and a sun. "Thank you, cat," Lily said. "Thank you, grapes," Ben said. They closed their eyes. They fell asleep. They had a nice dream. Ben and Lily liked to play in the woods near their home. They liked to look for bugs and flowers and birds. One day, they saw a big owl sitting on a branch. The owl had yellow eyes and brown feathers and a sharp beak. "Wow, look at that owl!" Ben said. "He looks tough. I want to join him and be his friend." "Be careful, Ben," Lily said. "Owls are not friendly. They eat mice and rabbits and sometimes other birds. He might hurt you." But Ben did not listen to Lily. He wanted to join the owl. He climbed up the tree and got closer to the branch. The owl saw Ben and turned his head. He did not like Ben. He did not want to be his friend. "Hello, owl," Ben said. "Can I join you? You look tough and cool. I want to be tough and cool too." The owl did not answer. He opened his wings and flew at Ben. He scratched Ben's face with his claws and bit his ear with his beak. Ben screamed and fell from the tree. He landed on the ground and hurt his arm and leg. Lily ran to Ben and saw his blood and tears. She was scared and sad. She hugged Ben and cried. She wished Ben had listened to her. She wished they had not seen the owl. She wished they had played somewhere else. The owl was not tough and cool. He was mean and bad. Lila and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But sometimes, Ben liked to tease Lila. He would pull her hair, hide her toys and call her names. Lila did not like that. She felt sad and angry. One day, Ben teased Lila too much. He took her doll and threw it in the mud. He laughed and said, "You are a baby, Lila. You still play with dolls. You are silly and ugly." Lila cried and ran away. She wanted her doll back. She wanted Ben to be nice. She ran to a big tree and hid behind it. She saw a small, shiny thing on the ground. It was a necklace with a black stone. She picked it up and put it on. She felt a warm, tickly feeling in her chest. She heard a voice in her ear. It said, "Hello, Lila. I am a spirit. I live in this stone. You are my friend now. I can help you." Lila was surprised and scared. She asked, "Who are you? What do you want?" The voice said, "I am a spirit of mischief. I like to have fun. I don't like Ben. He is mean and rude. I can teach him a lesson. Do you want me to?" Lila thought for a moment. She was still hurt and angry. She wanted Ben to stop teasing her. She wanted him to say sorry. She said, "Yes, please. Teach him a lesson. Make him stop." The voice said, "OK, Lila. Follow me. We will have some fun." Lila followed the voice. She saw Ben sitting on a bench. He was playing with her doll. He was making it talk in a silly voice. He did not see Lila. The voice said, "Watch this, Lila. I will make Ben's hair turn black. He will look funny. He will be scared." Lila nodded. She wanted to see that. The voice whispered a word. Ben's hair turned black. He did not notice. He kept playing with the doll. The voice said, "Now, I will make his nose grow big. He will look silly. He will be ashamed." Lila smiled. She wanted to see that. The voice whispered another word. Ben's nose grew big. He still did not notice. He kept playing with the doll. The voice said, "Now, I will make his voice sound like a frog. He will sound funny. He will be confused." Lila giggled. She wanted to hear that. The voice whispered one more word. Ben's voice sounded like a frog. He finally noticed. He dropped the doll. He touched his hair, his nose and his mouth. He looked at himself in a puddle. He screamed. He sounded like a frog. He was scared, silly and confused. Lila laughed. She felt happy. She said, "Thank you, spirit. You taught Ben a lesson. He will not tease me again." The voice said, "You are welcome, Lila. You are my friend. I like you. But remember, I am a spirit of mischief. I like to have fun. Sometimes, I will tease you too. But I will not hurt you. I will make you laugh. Do you still want to be my friend?" Lila thought for a moment. She liked the spirit. He was funny and helpful. But he was also tricky and naughty. She did not want to be teased too much. She said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. But you have to be nice. You have to be careful. You have to ask me first. OK?" The voice said, "OK, Lila. I will be nice. I will be careful. I will ask you first. We will have fun. Come on, let's go. There is more to see and do." Lila took her doll and followed the voice. She left Ben behind. He was still screaming and crying. He did not know what to do. He learned his lesson. He did not tease Lila again. Lila and the spirit had fun. They were friends. The end. Tom is a boy who likes to sleep. He sleeps in his bed with his teddy bear. He does not like to wake up early. But today, his mom comes to his room and says, "Tom, wake up! It is time for school!" Tom groans and covers his head with his blanket. He does not want to go to school. He says, "No, mom, I want to sleep more. School is rough. The kids are mean. The teacher is hard. I do not like school." Mom pulls the blanket away and smiles. She says, "Tom, I know school can be rough sometimes. But you have to go. You will learn many things. You will make new friends. You will have fun. And you will learn new words. Words are good. Words help you talk and read and write and think. Words are fun." Tom sits up and rubs his eyes. He looks at his mom and says, "Words are fun? How are words fun?" Mom says, "Words are fun because you can use them to make stories. Stories can be about anything you want. Stories can make you laugh or cry or wonder or dream. Stories can be short or long or silly or scary. Stories are fun." Tom thinks for a moment. He likes stories. He likes to hear stories and tell stories and make stories. He says, "OK, mom, I will go to school. But can you tell me a story first?" Mom nods and hugs Tom. She says, "Of course, I can tell you a story. What kind of story do you want to hear?" Tom says, "I want to hear a story about a boy who likes to sleep and his teddy bear and his mom and words and stories." Mom says, "That sounds like a good story. Let me think. Once upon a time, there was a boy who liked to sleep and his teddy bear and his mom and words and stories. And this is what happened to them..." Ben is a farmer. He has a big farm with many animals. He likes to feed the cows, the sheep, the pigs and the chickens. He also likes to plant seeds and grow fruits and vegetables. He works hard every day. One day, Ben is very tired. He says to his dog, Spot: "I need to rest, Spot. I have done a lot today. Let's go to the house and have a nap." Spot barks and follows Ben. They walk to the house, which is near a big tree. Ben and Spot lie down on the sofa. Ben closes his eyes and falls asleep. Spot curls up next to him and snores. The farm is peaceful. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the wind is blowing gently. No one bothers Ben and Spot. They have a nice rest. After a while, Ben wakes up. He feels better. He stretches and yawns. He says to Spot: "Thank you for being with me, Spot. You are a good friend. Let's go and see the animals. Maybe they need some food or water." Spot barks and jumps off the sofa. They walk to the barn, where the animals are waiting for them. Ben and Spot are happy. They love their farm. They love their animals. They love their rest. They have a good life. Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. Yesterday, they saw a big dog. The dog was not nice. It barked and ran at them. "Help!" Lily cried. "The dog is scary!" Tom was brave. He picked up a stick. He said to the dog, "Go away! Leave us alone!" The dog stopped. It looked at Tom and the stick. It growled. But it did not come closer. Lily hugged Tom. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You protect me. You are a good friend." Tom smiled. He said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good friend too. Let's go to the swings. The dog can't bother us there." They ran to the swings. They had fun. They forgot about the dog. They were happy. Ben and Lily liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a red ball. They liked to throw it, catch it, and roll it on the grass. One day, they saw a big black cat in the garden. The cat looked at their red ball and wanted to play with it too. The cat was very clever and waited for Ben and Lily to look away. Then, it ran to the ball and grabbed it with its teeth. It ran away with the ball and hid behind a bush. Ben and Lily looked for their ball, but they could not find it. They asked their mom, but she did not know where it was. They asked their dad, but he did not know either. They were very sad and angry. They said, "That is our ball! It is ours! The cat took our ball! It is not fair!" They decided to look for the cat and get their ball back. They walked around the garden and looked behind every bush and tree. They did not see the cat, but they heard a meow. They followed the sound and found the cat behind a big rock. The cat was playing with their ball and having fun. Ben and Lily ran to the cat and shouted, "Give us our ball! It is ours! You are a bad cat!" The cat was scared and dropped the ball. It ran away and disappeared. Ben and Lily picked up their ball and hugged it. They were very happy and proud. They said, "We found our ball! It is ours! We are clever!" They went back to their mom and dad and showed them their ball. They said, "We got our ball back! The cat took it, but we found it! We are clever!" Their mom and dad smiled and praised them. They said, "You are very clever and brave! We are proud of you! Now, let's play with your ball together!" Ben and Lily nodded and smiled. They threw their ball, caught it, and rolled it on the grass. They had a lot of fun. Tom and Mia are playing with tubes in the yard. They like to make sounds with them and pretend they are trumpets. Mia is bossy and tells Tom what to do. "Tom, you play this tube. It is blue and big. I play this tube. It is red and small. We make a song. You follow me, okay?" Mia says. Tom nods and tries to copy Mia. But Mia plays too fast and changes the sounds a lot. Tom gets confused and frustrated. He wants to play his own way. "Mia, you are too bossy. I don't like your song. It is too hard. I want to play my song. It is easy and fun." Tom says. Mia gets angry and says, "No, Tom. You are wrong. My song is better. You are bad at playing tubes. You have to listen to me. I am the leader." She strikes Tom's tube with her tube and makes a loud noise. Tom feels hurt and scared. He drops his tube and starts to cry. Mia feels sorry and says, "Tom, I am sorry. I didn't mean to strike your tube. I was just mad. Can we be friends again?" Tom stops crying and says, "Okay, Mia. I forgive you. But can we play a different game? I don't like tubes anymore." Mia agrees and says, "Okay, Tom. Let's play something else. How about we play with balls? We can roll them and catch them and throw them. That sounds fun, right?" Tom smiles and says, "Yes, Mia. That sounds fun. Let's play with balls." They pick up their tubes and put them away. Then they get their balls and start to play. They are happy and share and take turns. They are good friends. Ben liked to play outside with his shadow. He would run and jump and his shadow would follow him. He would make funny shapes with his hands and his shadow would copy him. He would pretend to be a big animal and his shadow would grow with him. One day, he saw a new shadow on the wall. It was smaller than his and had pointy ears and a long tail. Ben was curious and went closer. He saw a little cat sitting on the fence. The cat looked at him and meowed. "Hello, cat. What is your name?" Ben asked. The cat did not answer. It jumped off the fence and ran away. Ben ran after it. He wanted to be friends with the cat and its shadow. He followed them across the street and into the park. He saw them climb a tree and hide behind the leaves. "Come down, cat. I want to play with you," Ben called. The cat peeked out and meowed again. It seemed scared of Ben. Ben felt sad. He did not want to scare the cat. He wanted to be nice to it. He was thoughtful. He had an idea. He went back to his house and got some milk and a bowl. He brought them to the park and put them under the tree. He stepped back and waited. He hoped the cat would come down and drink the milk. He hoped the cat would like him. He saw the cat's shadow move on the branch. He saw the cat's eyes shine in the sun. He saw the cat jump down and sniff the milk. He saw the cat lick the milk and purr. He smiled. "Hello, cat. Do you like the milk?" Ben asked. The cat looked at him and meowed softly. It rubbed its head against his leg. It let him pet its fur. Ben was happy. He had made a new friend. He and the cat and their shadows played together in the park. They had fun. Lily and Ben love to watch fireworks. They like the big and loud ones that make bright colors in the sky. They also like the small and quiet ones that sparkle and crackle on the ground. They always go with their mom and dad to the park on the night of fireworks. But this year, something bad happened. The park was closed because of a big sick bug that made many people feel bad. Lily and Ben were very sad. They wanted to see the fireworks, but they could not. They felt helpless. They asked their mom and dad if they could make their own fireworks at home, but they said no. They said it was too dangerous and they could get hurt. Lily and Ben did not give up. They had an idea. They went to their room and looked for things that could make fireworks. They found some paper, some crayons, some glue, and some scissors. They cut the paper into different shapes and colored them with the crayons. They glued them together to make rockets and stars and flowers. They were very proud of their work. They waited until it was dark and then they took their paper fireworks outside. They asked their mom and dad to come and watch. They held their paper fireworks in their hands and pretended to light them. They threw them in the air and shouted "Boom!" and "Wow!" and "Ooh!" They imagined that their paper fireworks were real and that they made beautiful colors in the sky. They had a lot of fun. Their mom and dad smiled and clapped. They told Lily and Ben that they were very clever and creative. They said that they made their own fireworks with their work and their imagination. They said that they were not helpless, but brave and smart. They hugged Lily and Ben and told them that they loved them very much. Lily and Ben were very happy. They said that they loved their mom and dad too. They said that they had the best fireworks ever. Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the slide and the swings. They pretended they were racing drivers and made loud noises with their mouths. "Vroom, vroom, I'm faster than you!" Ben said, as he pushed his red car down the slide. "No, you're not, I'm faster!" Lila said, as she chased him with her blue car. They ran and laughed until they saw a big truck parked near the gate. It had a shiny metal box on the back and a long hose that went to the ground. They were curious and wanted to see what it was. They walked closer and saw a man in a yellow suit and a mask. He was holding a big nozzle that sprayed water on the grass. He looked like a spaceman. "Hello, what are you doing?" Lila asked. "Hello, little ones. I'm watering the plants. They need water to grow and be healthy," the man said. "Wow, that's cool. Can we help you?" Ben asked. "Sure, you can. But you have to be careful. The water is very cold and the hose is very strong. You have to hold it tight and aim it at the plants, not at people or cars," the man said. He gave them each a small nozzle and showed them how to use it. They felt the water rush through the hose and shiver in their hands. They sprayed the water on the flowers and the trees and had fun. They heard a loud noise from the truck. It was the motor. It made the water go fast and cold. "What's that?" Lila asked. "That's the motor. It pumps the water from the tank to the hose. It's very powerful and noisy," the man said. "Can we see it?" Ben asked. "Sure, you can. But you have to be careful. The motor is very hot and dangerous. You have to stay away from it and not touch it," the man said. He took them to the truck and opened the metal box. They saw a big metal thing with wires and pipes. It was the motor. It was spinning and humming and smoking. "Wow, that's cool. How does it work?" Ben asked. "It works with gas and electricity. It makes the water go fast and cold," the man said. "Can we touch it?" Lila asked. "No, you can't. It's very hot and dangerous. You have to stay away from it and not touch it," the man repeated. He closed the metal box and locked it. He took them back to the hose and gave them their nozzles. They sprayed the water on the plants again and had fun. They thanked the man for letting them help him. He smiled and waved goodbye. They went back to their toy cars and played some more. They were happy and wet. They did not notice that the sun was going down and the air was getting cold. They did not notice that their clothes were thin and wet. They did not notice that they started to shiver. Mia likes to play with her toys. She has many toys, but her favorite is a pink dragon. The dragon has a long tail, big wings and shiny scales. Mia likes to brush the scales and make them sparkle. One day, Mia's friend Ben comes to visit. Ben sees the dragon and wants to play with it. He asks Mia, "Can I have your dragon?" Mia says, "No, this is my dragon. You can play with other toys." Ben is sad. He likes the dragon too. Mia sees that Ben is sad. She thinks for a moment. She loves her dragon, but she also loves her friend. She decides to share her dragon with Ben. She says, "You can play with my dragon, but be careful. The dragon is fragile. You have to be gentle with the scales. They can break easily." Ben is happy. He says, "Thank you, Mia. You are very kind. I will be careful with the dragon." He takes the dragon and hugs it softly. He brushes the scales and makes them sparkle. He and Mia play together with the dragon and have fun. They are good friends. Lily was sick. She had a fever and a sore throat. She felt very hot and very cold at the same time. She did not want to eat or play. She only wanted to sleep. Her mom was worried. She called the nurse on the phone. She asked the nurse what to do. The nurse said, "Give Lily some water and some medicine. Put a wet cloth on her forehead. Keep her warm and cozy. I will come and see her soon." Lily heard her mom and the nurse talking. She said in a weak voice, "Mom, I don't like being sick. It hurts. When will I get better?" Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, my sweetie. The nurse will help you. She is very kind and smart. She will make you feel better. You just need to rest and be brave." Lily nodded and closed her eyes. She felt her mom's kiss on her cheek. She felt the wet cloth on her forehead. She felt a little bit of hope. She hoped the nurse would come soon. She hoped she would get better soon. She hoped she would play and laugh again soon. Lily and Tom are best friends. They like to play together every day. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big puzzle. The puzzle has many pieces with different colors and shapes. One day, Lily and Tom decide to spend the whole afternoon making the puzzle. They sit on the floor and look for the pieces that fit. They talk and laugh as they work. "Look, I found the corner piece!" Lily says. "Good job, Lily! You are very clever!" Tom says. "Thank you, Tom! You are clever too! You found the middle piece!" Lily says. They keep making the puzzle until they finish. They are very happy and proud. They hug each other and say: "We did it! We made the puzzle!" "We are a great team! We love each other!" Tom says. "Yes, we are! We love each other very much!" Lily says. They smile and look at their beautiful puzzle. They are best friends. They have a lot of fun. They have a lot of love. Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They also saw a big bottle with a skull on it. Lily was curious and wanted to touch it. Ben was scared and said no. "Don't touch that, Lily. It is poison. It can make you sick or die," Ben said. "What is poison?" Lily asked. "Poison is a bad thing that hurts you. Mama and Papa told us to stay away from it. It is not for playing," Ben said. Lily nodded, but she still wanted to see what was inside the bottle. She thought Ben was too afraid of everything. She waited until Ben was looking at a butterfly and ran to the bottle. She opened it and smelled it. It smelled bad, like rotten eggs. She made a face and threw the bottle away. But some of the poison splashed on her hand. It burned and hurt a lot. She cried and ran to Ben. "Ben, Ben, help me! The poison hurt me!" Lily said. Ben saw Lily's hand and was very worried. He remembered that Mama and Papa had a modern phone that could call for help. He ran to the house and got the phone. He pressed the button that had a red cross on it. He heard a voice and said, "Please help, my sister touched poison and it hurt her hand. We are in the garden." The voice said, "Don't worry, we are coming. Keep your sister calm and away from the poison. Wash her hand with water if you can." Ben did what the voice said. He took Lily to the faucet and washed her hand. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I love you. You will be okay." Lily said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I love you. You were right. I should have listened to you." Soon, a big car with a siren came. Two people in white clothes got out and looked at Lily's hand. They put a bandage on it and gave her some medicine. They said she was brave and lucky. They took her and Ben to the hospital, where Mama and Papa were waiting. They hugged them and said they were proud of them. They also said they were sorry for leaving the poison in the garden. It was for killing weeds, but they forgot to put it away. They said they would be more careful next time. Lily and Ben learned a lesson that day. They learned that poison is dangerous and not for playing. They learned that they should listen to their parents and each other. They learned that they should always help each other and call for help when they need it. They learned that they were very lucky to have a modern phone and a big car with a siren and people in white clothes who could save them. They learned that they loved each other very much. Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and a loud voice. "Wow, look at that dog!" Ben says. He wants to pet the dog. He runs to the dog. "Ben, wait!" Mia says. She is scared of the dog. She hopes the dog is nice. She follows Ben. The dog sees Ben and Mia. It wags its tail and barks. It is happy to see them. It wants to play. "Hello, dog!" Ben says. He touches the dog's fur. It is soft and warm. "Hi, kids!" a man says. He is the dog's owner. He has a leash in his hand. He is alert. He does not want the dog to hurt the kids. "Is this your dog?" Mia asks. She is shy. She stays behind Ben. "Yes, this is Rocky. He is a friendly dog. He likes to meet new people. Do you want to play with him?" the man says. "Yes, please!" Ben says. He smiles. He likes Rocky. "Okay, but be gentle. And don't pull his ears or his tail. He might not like that," the man says. "Okay, we will be gentle," Mia says. She is brave. She comes closer to Rocky. She pets his head. Rocky licks Ben and Mia's faces. He makes them laugh. He is a good dog. Ben and Mia play with Rocky for a while. They throw a ball and he fetches it. They hug him and he snuggles them. They have fun. "Thank you for letting us play with your dog," Ben says. "You're welcome. Thank you for being nice to him," the man says. "Bye, Rocky!" Mia says. "Bye, kids!" Rocky says. He barks. Ben and Mia wave to Rocky and the man. They go back to their mom and dad. They tell them about their new friend. They hope to see him again. Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the jungle. The jungle has many trees and animals. Tom and Mia like to see the monkeys, the birds and the bugs. One day, Tom and Mia find a big fruit. It is red and round and smells good. They want to eat it. But the fruit is too hard. They need to make it soft. Tom and Mia find some sticks and dry leaves. They make a fire with them. They put the fruit on the fire. The fire is hot and bright. It burns the sticks and the leaves. It also burns the fruit. Tom and Mia wait for a little while. Then they take the fruit off the fire. It is soft and warm now. They break it open. It has yellow juice and seeds inside. They taste it. It is sweet and sour and tasty. They like it very much. Tom and Mia are happy. They share the fruit. They eat and drink and laugh. They thank the jungle for the fruit. They put out the fire. They do not want to hurt the jungle. They love the jungle. The jungle is their home. One day, a little mouse named Max was very enthusiastic. He wanted to explore the big garden and find new things. He said goodbye to his mother and ran out of his hole. "Be careful, Max," his mother said. "Don't go too far and watch out for the cat." Max nodded, but he did not listen. He was too excited to see the flowers, the bugs, and the birds. He ignored his mother's advice and ran all over the garden. Soon, he saw a big, shiny thing. It was a ball. Max wanted to play with it. He ran towards it, but he did not see the cat hiding behind a bush. The cat saw Max and licked his lips. He waited for the right moment to pounce. "Hello, little mouse," the cat said, jumping out of the bush. "Do you want to play with me?" Max was scared. He realized he was in danger. He wished he had listened to his mother. He tried to run away, but the cat was faster. He blocked Max's way and reached out his paw. "Please, don't hurt me," Max said, trembling. "I just wanted to have fun." The cat smiled. He was not really hungry. He just liked to tease the mouse. He decided to let him go, but not before teaching him a lesson. "Fun is good, but safety is better," the cat said. "You should not ignore your mother. She knows what is best for you. Now, go back to your hole and don't come out again." Max nodded, thankful for the cat's mercy. He ran back to his hole as fast as he could. He hugged his mother and told her what happened. He said he was sorry for ignoring her and promised to be more careful next time. His mother forgave him and kissed him. She was glad he was safe. She told him he could still have fun, but he had to be smart and listen to her. Max agreed. He learned his lesson. He was still enthusiastic, but he was also wise. Lila and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were explorers, looking for treasure and secrets. They saw a big hill with some rocks on top. They wondered what was behind the rocks. "Let's go and see!" Lila said. "Maybe there is a temple there, like in the stories." "OK, but be careful. The rocks look heavy." Sam said. He followed Lila up the hill. They reached the top and pushed some of the rocks aside. They saw a hole that led to a dark tunnel. They felt curious and scared at the same time. "Should we go in?" Lila asked. "I don't know. It looks dark and spooky." Sam said. "Come on, don't be afraid. We have a flashlight." Lila said. She took out a small flashlight from her backpack and turned it on. She shone it into the tunnel. "Look, there is something shiny inside. Maybe it's gold or jewels." Lila wanted to go in and see the shiny thing. Sam was not sure, but he did not want to let Lila go alone. He held her hand and said, "OK, let's go. But only for a little bit. And we have to be quiet and careful." They walked into the tunnel, holding the flashlight and each other. They felt the walls were cold and wet. They heard some noises, like water dripping and bats squeaking. They kept walking until they saw a big room. In the middle of the room, there was a statue of a man with a funny hat. He was holding a big stick with a snake on it. Around the statue, there were many shiny things, like coins and rings and necklaces. "Wow, look at that!" Lila said. "It is a temple. And we found the treasure." "Shh, don't be loud. Someone might hear us." Sam said. He looked around and saw a door on the other side of the room. He wondered what was behind it. "Let's go and see what's in there." Lila said. She let go of Sam's hand and ran towards the door. She tried to open it, but it was locked. She saw a key hanging on the wall next to the door. She reached for it, but it was too high for her. "Help me, Sam. I can't get the key." Lila said. Sam ran after her and tried to help. He lifted Lila up, but she still could not reach the key. They tried to jump, but they were too short. They tried to use the stick with the snake, but it was too heavy. They could not manage to get the key. "Maybe we should give up. This door is not for us." Sam said. "But I want to see what's in there. Maybe there is something more amazing than the treasure." Lila said. "Or maybe there is something more dangerous than the bats." Sam said. They heard a loud noise, like thunder. They turned around and saw that the rocks they had moved had fallen back and blocked the tunnel. They were trapped in the temple. "Uh-oh." Lila said. "Uh-oh." Sam said. Tom wanted to go to a party with his dad. His dad said he had to wear a suit and a tie. Tom did not like suits and ties. He liked to wear his red shirt and blue pants. He said suits and ties were not useful. They were tight and itchy. His dad said suits and ties were useful for some things. They showed respect and manners. They made people look nice and smart. He said Tom would have fun at the party. He said there would be cake and games and other kids. Tom was not convinced. He did not want to wear a suit and a tie. He tried to hide his suit and tie under his bed. He tried to run away from his dad. He tried to untie his tie. He made a big fuss. His dad was patient and firm. He found his suit and tie under the bed. He caught him and carried him to the car. He tied his tie again. He told him to stop fussing. He said he loved him and he was proud of him. Tom was still unhappy. He pouted and crossed his arms. He did not talk to his dad. He did not look at the party. He did not want to play or eat or smile. Then he saw a girl. She was wearing a dress and a bow. She had curly hair and big eyes. She smiled at him and said hello. She said she liked his suit and tie. She said they matched her dress and bow. She said they were useful for making friends. Tom felt a little better. He smiled back and said hello. He said he liked her dress and bow. He said they were pretty and bright. He said they were useful for making friends too. They started to talk and play. They ate some cake and played some games. They had fun at the party. Tom forgot about his suit and tie. He was glad he wore them. He made a new friend. He thanked his dad. He said he was sorry for fussing. He said he learned something new. He said suits and ties were useful after all. Lily and Ben like to play outside when it rains. They put on their boots and coats and run to the park. They find a big puddle and jump in it. They splash and laugh and make waves. They see a tree with a swing. They run to the swing and take turns. Lily pushes Ben and Ben pushes Lily. They go higher and higher. They feel the wind and the rain on their faces. They are happy. But then, something bad happens. The rope of the swing breaks. Ben falls off the swing and lands in the puddle. He hurts his arm and his leg. He cries and cries. Lily runs to him and tries to help him. She is scared and sad. They hear a loud noise. It is a car. The car is coming fast. The driver does not see them. They are in the middle of the road. They try to get up and run, but they are too late. The car hits them. They fly in the air and hang on a branch. They do not move. They do not breathe. They are gone. The rain stops. The sun comes out. The puddle dries up. The swing is empty. The tree is silent. The car drives away. No one knows what happened. No one cares. It is a bad ending. Anna and Ben went to the farm with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals and plants. They liked the cows, the pigs, the chickens and the sheep. They also liked the apples, the pumpkins, the carrots and the corn. Mom and Dad said they could choose one thing to take home. Anna and Ben thought hard. They liked everything. But they liked corn the most. Corn was bright and yellow and sweet. They wanted to eat corn for dinner. They walked to the corn field. They saw many corn plants. They had green leaves and brown hair. They had big ears of corn inside. Anna and Ben looked for the best ears of corn. They pulled and twisted and snapped. They each chose one ear of corn. They were happy. They carried their corn to the car. They thanked the farmer for letting them choose. They said goodbye to the animals and the plants. They drove home with Mom and Dad. They cooked their corn and ate it with butter and salt. It was delicious. They smiled and said corn was their favorite. Sara and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and use the furniture as their ship. Sara was the captain and Ben was the mate. "Arr, matey, we need to find the treasure!" Sara said, holding a pillow as a map. "Aye, aye, captain!" Ben said, following her to the couch. "Maybe it's under here!" They lifted the couch cushions and looked for gold and jewels. They found some coins and a necklace that belonged to their mom. "Wow, look at this!" Sara said, putting the necklace around her neck. "We are rich!" Ben wanted to try the necklace too. He reached for it and pulled it hard. The necklace snapped and the beads flew everywhere. "Uh-oh!" Ben said, dropping the broken necklace. "We broke it!" Sara was angry. She liked the necklace and she did not want to share it. She pushed Ben off the couch and yelled at him. "You are a bad pirate! You break everything! Go away!" Ben fell on the floor and started to cry. He did not mean to break the necklace. He just wanted to play. Their mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and the broken necklace. She was not happy. "What happened here?" she asked, picking up the beads. "Who broke my necklace?" Sara and Ben looked at each other. They were scared. They did not want to get in trouble. "It was him!" Sara said, pointing at Ben. "No, it was her!" Ben said, pointing at Sara. Their mom sighed. She was patient, but she did not like lying. She knew they both had a part in breaking the necklace. "Listen, Sara and Ben," she said, sitting them on the couch. "I know you like to play, but you have to be careful with the furniture and the things that are not yours. You have to share and be nice to each other. And you have to tell the truth when you make a mistake. Do you understand?" Sara and Ben nodded. They felt sorry for breaking the necklace and for lying. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. "It's okay," their mom said, smiling. "I forgive you. But next time, please ask me before you use my things. And maybe you can help me fix the necklace later." Sara and Ben agreed. They learned their lesson. They decided to play something else that did not involve breaking things. They were good pirates after all. Lily and Tom are friends. They live in a big city. The city has many cars and buses and people. Sometimes the city is very noisy and dirty. One day, Lily and Tom go to the park with their moms. The park is green and quiet and clean. Lily and Tom like to play on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They see many birds and flowers and trees. "Look, Tom, a blue bird!" Lily says, pointing to the sky. "Wow, it is so pretty!" Tom says, nodding his head. They watch the bird fly and sing. They feel happy and calm. "Can we feed the bird, mom?" Lily asks her mom. "Sure, honey, but only a little bit. Birds need to eat their own food, too," her mom says, giving her some bread crumbs. Lily and Tom break the bread into small pieces and throw them on the grass. The bird comes closer and eats the bread. It makes a happy sound. "Thank you, bird!" Lily and Tom say. The bird nods its head and flies away. Lily and Tom learn to be kind and gentle to animals. They also learn to appreciate the beauty of nature. They love the park and the bird. They hope the city can be more like the park. Lila was a big sister. She had a new infant brother, Ben. Ben was very small and lovely. He had soft hair and tiny fingers. Lila liked to help Mommy with Ben. She gave him toys and sang to him. One day, Mommy said, "Lila, can you set Ben on the rug? I need to get his bottle." Lila nodded and picked up Ben carefully. She walked to the rug and set him down gently. She smiled at him and said, "Hi, Ben. You are a good boy. I love you." But then, Ben started to cry. He was hungry and wanted his bottle. Lila felt sad. She did not like it when Ben cried. She tried to make him happy. She gave him his teddy bear and his rattle. She said, "Shh, Ben. Don't cry. Mommy is coming soon. Look, here is your teddy. And here is your rattle. They are your friends." But Ben did not stop crying. He cried louder and louder. Lila felt worried. She did not know what to do. She looked around and saw Mommy. She called, "Mommy, Mommy, Ben is crying. He needs his bottle. Please hurry." Mommy heard Lila and came to the rug. She saw Ben and Lila. She said, "Thank you, Lila, for setting Ben on the rug. You are a good sister. I'm sorry I took so long. Here is his bottle. He will feel better soon." She took Ben and gave him his bottle. Ben stopped crying and drank his bottle. He looked at Lila and smiled. Lila smiled back and said, "You're welcome, Mommy. I'm glad Ben is happy. He is a lovely infant." Mommy hugged Lila and Ben and said, "I love you both. You are my lovely children." Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big toy car in the garage. It was red and shiny, but it had a broken wheel. Tim and Sam wanted to repair the toy car and make it go fast. They looked for tools in the garage. They found a hammer, a screwdriver, and a jar of butter. They did not know what to do with the tools, but they tried anyway. They hit the toy car with the hammer. They twisted the screwdriver in the wheel. They smeared the butter on the car. They thought they were repairing the toy car, but they were making it worse. Dad came home from work. He saw the toy car in the garage. He was very angry. The toy car was his. It was a special gift from his dad when he was a boy. He loved the toy car very much. He saw that Tim and Sam had ruined the toy car. He yelled at them and took away their toys. He said they were naughty and had to go to bed early. Tim and Sam were very sad. They did not mean to break the toy car. They wanted to fix it and play with it. They cried and hugged each other. They wished they had not touched the toy car. They wished they had asked Dad first. In the corner of the garage, there was a hairy spider. It saw the jar of butter. It was hungry. It crawled to the jar and ate the butter. It liked the butter very much. It ate and ate until it was full. Then it felt sick. It had eaten too much butter. It rolled over and died. The end. Sara was a jolly girl who liked to play outside. She had a big yard with many flowers and trees. She also had a toy house where she kept her dolls and books. One day, Sara saw a rainbow in the sky. It was very bright and had many colors. Sara wanted to see it closer. She thought maybe there was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. She put on her boots and coat and ran outside. She followed the rainbow across the yard, but it seemed to move away from her. She ran faster and faster, but she could not catch it. She did not see where she was going. She tripped over a rock and fell down. She scraped her knee and elbow and started to cry. She heard a voice behind her. It was her dog, Spot. Spot was a good friend who always stayed with her. Spot licked her face and wagged his tail. He wanted to make her feel better. He also saw the rainbow and wanted to play with it. Spot showed Sara how to crawl on the ground. He said it was fun and easy. He said they could pretend they were lions or bears or worms. Sara stopped crying and smiled. She crawled with Spot and made funny noises. They had a lot of fun. Sara learned that the rainbow was not something she could touch or have. It was only a pretty thing to look at. She also learned that she should be careful where she ran and not chase things that were too far. She was happy that she had Spot, who was always there for her. She gave him a big hug and said thank you. They went back to the toy house and played with the dolls and books. They were jolly again. Lily was a bird who loved to fly. She had big, blue wings that made her fast and strong. She liked to soar in the sky and sing with her friends. She was happy and kind. One day, she saw a mouse who was sad. He had a hurt leg and could not run. He was hungry and scared. Lily felt sorry for him and flew down to help. "Hello, little mouse. Why are you sad?" she asked. "I have a hurt leg and I can't find food. I wish I had wings like you, so I could fly away from danger," the mouse said. Lily thought for a moment. She had an idea. "I can lend you one of my wings, so you can fly with me. Then you can find food and be safe. But you have to promise to give it back when your leg is better," she said. The mouse was surprised and grateful. He agreed to the promise. Lily plucked one of her wings and gave it to the mouse. He held it with his good leg and flapped it hard. He felt a breeze lift him up. He was flying! Lily and the mouse flew together and found some sweet berries. They ate and laughed and had fun. Lily was happy to share her wing and help the mouse. The mouse was happy to have a friend and a wing. After a while, the mouse's leg healed. He thanked Lily for her kindness and gave back her wing. Lily put it back on her body and felt whole again. She hugged the mouse and said goodbye. She flew away, singing a happy song. The mouse watched her go and smiled. He learned that lending is a good thing to do. He also learned that wings are not the only way to fly. Friendship is another way. He was happy and wise. One day, Tom and Mia went to 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 rocks on the shore. As they were walking on the shore, they saw something shiny in the sand. They ran to see what it was. It was a big, round, silver coin. They picked it up and showed it to their mom and dad. "Wow, that's amazing!" their mom said. "Where did it come from?" "I don't know," their dad said. "Maybe it was from a pirate ship that sank a long time ago." Tom and Mia were very excited. They wondered if there were more coins like that on the shore. They decided to look for them. They walked along the shore, digging and searching in the sand. They found some more shells and rocks, but no more coins. They were about to give up, when they saw something else shiny in the water. They ran to the water and saw a big, shiny, metal box. It had a lock on it, but it was broken. They opened the box and saw lots of coins and jewels inside. They were gold and silver and red and blue and green. They sparkled in the sun. "Wow, that's amazing!" Tom and Mia said together. They looked at each other and smiled. They had found a pirate treasure! They called their mom and dad and showed them the box. Their mom and dad were very surprised and happy. They said they would take the box to a museum and share the treasure with everyone. Tom and Mia were very proud and happy. They had found something amazing on the shore. They wondered what else they would find on the beach. They decided to keep looking and playing and having fun. Lily was a spoiled girl who always got what she wanted. She had many toys, clothes, and candies, but she never shared them with anyone. She was rude to her parents, her friends, and her teachers. She did not listen to anyone or follow any rules. One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide and ran to it. She did not wait for her turn or say sorry when she pushed other kids. She slid down many times and laughed. She did not care that the other kids were sad and angry. Then, she saw a boy with a balloon. She wanted the balloon, so she ran to the boy and grabbed it. The boy cried and tried to get his balloon back, but Lily was stronger. She pulled the balloon and ran away. She did not hear her mom calling her name. But as she ran, she did not see a big tree. She bumped into the tree and fell down. The balloon popped and flew away. Lily hurt her head and her knee. She cried and cried. She wanted her mom and her balloon. Her mom came and picked her up. She hugged her and checked her wounds. She was glad that Lily was not badly hurt, but she was also very mad. She gave Lily a lecture. She told her that she was a spoiled girl who needed to learn to be nice and share. She told her that she could not get everything she wanted by being mean and selfish. She told her that she had to say sorry to the boy and the other kids. She told her that she had to behave better or she would not get any more toys, clothes, or candies. Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She realized that her mom was right. She did not like being a spoiled girl. She wanted to be a good girl. She said sorry to her mom and asked her to help her say sorry to the boy and the other kids. She promised to be nice and share from then on. The boy and the other kids forgave Lily and played with her. Lily felt happy and grateful. She learned her lesson. She learned that being nice and sharing was better than being spoiled and getting. Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big race. Many people run fast. They wear numbers and shoes. Tim and Jen want to join the race. "Can we run too?" Tim asks Jen. "Yes, let's go!" Jen says. They run after the people. They run and run. They feel happy and strong. But the race is very long. Tim and Jen get tired. They see a water station. They stop and drink some water. They see a man with a medal. The medal is shiny and round. It has a ribbon. "Wow, look at that medal!" Tim says. He wants to have a medal too. "Me too!" Jen says. They go to the man. They smile and say hello. "Hello, kids. Did you run the race?" the man asks. "Yes, we did!" Tim and Jen lie. They hope the man will give them a medal. The man laughs. He knows they did not run the race. He thinks they are cute and crazy. "No, you did not. You are too small to run the race. But you can have this medal. It is a special medal for fun runners. You can share it," the man says. He gives them the medal. Tim and Jen are very happy. They thank the man. They fill their hands with the medal. They feel proud and cool. They run back to the park. They show the medal to their friends. They tell them they ran the race. Their friends do not believe them. They think they are crazy too. But Tim and Jen do not care. They have a medal. They have fun. They are friends. Tom and Sue like to go to the library. They like to look at books with pictures and words. They also like to play with toys and puzzles. One day, they go to the library with their mom. They see a bald man at the desk. He has a name tag that says "Mr. Lee". "Hello, Mr. Lee," Tom says. "Can we borrow some books?" "Of course, Tom," Mr. Lee says. "But you have to be quiet and careful in the library. Do you understand?" "Yes, Mr. Lee," Tom and Sue say. They nod and smile. Tom and Sue go to the shelves and pick some books. They also find some toys and puzzles. They are happy and excited. They forget to be quiet and careful. They talk loud and run around. They drop some books and break some toys. They make a big mess. Mr. Lee hears the noise and sees the mess. He is angry and sad. He walks to Tom and Sue and says, "What are you doing? You are not quiet and careful. You are loud and naughty. You have to leave the library now. And you cannot come back for a long time. Do you understand?" Tom and Sue are scared and sorry. They say, "No, Mr. Lee, please. We like the library. We don't want to leave. We are sorry. We will be quiet and careful. Please, Mr. Lee, please." But Mr. Lee does not listen. He takes their books and toys and puzzles. He tells their mom what they did. He says, "They are not welcome here anymore. They have to go home and learn how to behave in the library. Goodbye." Tom and Sue cry and cry. They have to go home with their mom. They have no books and no toys and no puzzles. They have no library. They are very sad. They have a bad day. The end. Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play with balloons. One day, they found a big balloon in the park.

She had a big book with many stamps from different places. She liked to look at the stamps and learn new things. One day, she got a letter from her grandma. She was very happy to see her grandma's writing. She opened the letter and saw a stamp on the envelope. It was a weird stamp. It had a picture of a fish with legs and a hat. Lily had never seen a fish like that before. She wanted to examine the stamp more closely. She took the envelope to her magnifying glass. She looked at the stamp through the glass. She saw many colors and details on the fish. She saw that the fish had a smile and a name. The name was Bob. Lily wondered who Bob was and why he was on a stamp. She decided to ask her grandma. She wrote a letter to her grandma and put it in a new envelope. She looked for a stamp to put on the envelope. She found a stamp with a picture of a cat with wings and a crown. She thought it was a funny stamp. She put it on the envelope and hoped her grandma would like it. She wrote on the envelope: "To Grandma, from Lily. I have a question about your stamp." She gave the envelope to her mom and asked her to mail it. She waited for her grandma's answer. Sara likes to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She finds a long, white veil in a box and puts it on her head. She feels like a princess. She runs to show her mom, but she does not see her in the kitchen. She hears a noise in the living room and goes there. She sees a big, black shape on the couch. It is covered with a blanket. Sara thinks it is a mysterious monster. She is scared, but she wants to be brave. She walks slowly to the couch and pulls the blanket off. She sees her dad, who is sleeping. He has a cold and he is wearing a mask. He wakes up and sees Sara. He smiles and says, "Hello, princess. What are you doing with that veil?" Sara laughs and hugs her dad. She says, "I am playing dress-up. You are not a monster. You are my dad. I love you." Her dad says, "I love you too, Sara. You are very pretty with that veil. But you should be careful. It is very old and delicate. It was your grandma's veil. She wore it on her wedding day." Sara says, "Wow, really? Can you tell me a story about her wedding day?" Her dad says, "Sure, Sara. Come here and sit with me. I will tell you a story about your grandma and how she met your grandpa. They had a very special and beautiful wedding day." Sara loves to dance. She wants to be a dancer when she grows up. She likes to watch dancers on TV and copy their moves. She also likes to teach her little brother, Tom, how to dance. One day, Sara and Tom are dancing in the living room. Sara shows Tom how to spin and jump and clap. Tom tries to follow her, but he is not very good. He falls down and bumps his head on the table. He starts to cry. "Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cries. "Sara, you hurt me!" Sara feels upset. She did not mean to hurt Tom. She only wanted to teach him how to dance. She says sorry to Tom and hugs him. "Tom, I'm sorry. I didn't hurt you on purpose. I love you. Do you want to dance with me again?" Tom shakes his head. He is angry at Sara. He does not want to dance with her anymore. He runs away to his room and slams the door. Sara is sad. She does not understand why Tom is mad at her. She thinks he does not love her anymore. She sits on the floor and cries. She does not want to dance anymore. She thinks she is a bad dancer and a bad sister. She wishes Tom would forgive her and dance with her again. But he does not. He stays in his room and does not talk to her. Sara feels alone and unhappy. She has no one to dance with. She has no one to teach. She has no one to love. Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the bathroom. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the tiles. Sometimes they pretended they were racing or chasing each other. One day, Lily had a new idea. She said to Ben, "Let's spin the cars in the drain. It will be fun to see them go round and round." Ben was not sure. He said, "But what if they get stuck or lost? The drain is dark and deep." Lily said, "Don't be scared. We can get them out with a stick. Come on, it will be clever." Lily and Ben took turns to spin their cars in the drain. They laughed as they watched them whirl and splash. But then, something bad happened. Lily's car got stuck in the drain. She tried to pull it out with a stick, but it was too far. She started to cry. She said, "Oh no, my car is gone. It was my favorite. What will I do?" Ben felt sorry for Lily. He said, "Don't cry, Lily. I have an idea. Maybe we can get help from Mom. She is clever and kind. She will know what to do." Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, let's go find Mom. Maybe she can save my car." Lily and Ben ran to Mom and told her what happened. Mom was not angry, but she was not happy either. She said, "Lily and Ben, you should not play with the drain. It is dangerous and dirty. You could hurt yourself or lose your toys. You should be careful and respectful of your things." She took them back to the bathroom and used a plunger to get Lily's car out of the drain. She said, "Here you go, Lily. Your car is safe and sound. But next time, please don't spin it in the drain. Find another way to have fun with your toys." Lily and Ben hugged Mom and thanked her. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We won't do it again. We learned our lesson. Spinning cars in the drain is not clever or fun. It is silly and risky. We will play with our toys in a better way." Mom smiled and said, "That's good, my loves. I'm glad you understand. Now go and enjoy your toys, but be careful and respectful." Lily and Ben nodded and went to play with their cars in a better way. They were happy and grateful. They learned to be more responsible and wise. Sam and Lily are twins who live on a big ranch with many animals. They like to help their mom and dad with the chores, but sometimes they make a big mess. One day, they want to weigh the baby pigs, because they are so cute and fat. They go to the barn and find a big scale. They try to lift a pig, but it is too heavy and wiggly. They drop it on the floor and it runs away. They chase it, but it makes a lot of noise and scares the other pigs. The pigs run out of the barn and into the mud. "Sam, Lily, what are you doing?" their mom asks, coming out of the house. She sees the pigs in the mud and the twins covered in dirt. "You made a big mess! You have to put the pigs back in the barn and clean up!" "Sorry, mom," Sam and Lily say. "We just wanted to weigh the pigs. They are so cute and fat." "I know, but you have to be careful and gentle with the animals. And you have to ask before you use the scale. It is not a toy. Come on, let's go and get the pigs. Then you have to take a bath and change your clothes." Sam and Lily nod and follow their mom. They help her catch the pigs and put them back in the barn. They say sorry to the pigs and pet them. Then they go to the house and take a bath and change their clothes. They promise to be more careful next time. They still think the pigs are cute and fat, but they also think they are messy and loud. Tim likes sport. He likes to run and kick and throw. He has a black ball. He plays with his ball every day. He is good at sport. One day, Tim goes to the park with his mom. He sees other kids playing sport. He wants to play with them. He runs to them with his ball. He says hello.

He cries. He wants his ball back. He looks for his ball. He cannot find it. His mom comes to him. She hugs him. She says she is sorry. Tim and his mom go home. Tim does not like sport anymore.

Tom wanted to use the knife too, but his dad said no. He said the knife was sharp and dangerous, and Tom was too small. One day, Tom saw the knife on the table. His dad was not in the room. Tom thought he could use the knife for a little bit, and his dad would not know. He took the knife and went outside. He saw a big tree with a hole in it. He thought he could make the hole bigger with the knife, and maybe find some animals inside. He started to cut the tree with the knife, but the knife was too hard to hold. It slipped from his hand and hit his leg. Tom felt a lot of pain and saw blood. He cried and dropped the knife. He ran back to the house, looking for his dad. His dad heard him cry and came to see what was wrong. He saw Tom's leg and the knife on the ground. He was very angry and scared. He took Tom to the bathroom and cleaned his wound. He put a bandage on it and gave him a hug. He said, "Tom, you were very stupid to use the knife. You could have hurt yourself badly. The knife is not a toy. You have to listen to me and never touch it again. Do you understand?" Tom nodded and said, "I'm sorry, dad. I wanted to help you and make something. I didn't mean to hurt myself." He felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "Can you forgive me, dad?" His dad said, "Of course, I forgive you, Tom. I love you very much. But you have to be careful and obey me. The knife is not for you. It is for me to use and restore things. Do you know what restore means?" Tom said, "No, dad. What does it mean?" His dad said, "It means to make something old or broken look new or better. Like when I fix the chair or the fence. I use the knife to cut and shape the wood. That is how I restore them. Do you want to help me restore things?" Tom said, "Yes, dad. I want to help you. But not with the knife. With something else. Maybe a hammer or a screwdriver. Can I use those?" His dad said, "Maybe when you are older and more careful. For now, you can use a paintbrush or a cloth. You can help me paint or polish the things I restore. How does that sound?" Tom said, "That sounds good, dad. Thank you for forgiving me and teaching me. I love you too." His dad said, "You're welcome, Tom. Now let's go and have some cookies. You need to rest your leg and feel better." He picked up Tom and carried him to the kitchen. He threw away the knife and decided to buy a new one with a lock. He did not want Tom to be stupid again. Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim.

He followed the sound and soon he saw a big, black fly flying around in circles. The boy was very excited. He wanted to catch the fly, but it was so fast it was hard for him to keep up. But then he thought of a plan. He stepped away from the bug and waited quietly. After a few minutes, the fly was so used to the boy that it came closer.

Its feathers became slick and slippery with the oil. The bird started to panic. Now it could not fly away. So the bird ran around in circles, trying to shake off the oil. But no matter how much it tried, the oil would not come off. Suddenly, the bird looked around and spotted some leaves. The bird started to scatter the leaves around, hoping that the thick leaves would pick up the oil from its feathers.

The bird happily flapped its wings, flew off and never forgot the valuable lesson it had learned that day - never go near oil! Once upon a time there was a grumpy old man.

As he dozed off, he heard a loud tearing noise. He opened his eyes and saw a big, mean bear tearing apart the tree! The crane was so scared, he flew away as fast as he could and went back up into the clouds. He never wanted to make the same mistake again. And from that day on, the famous crane was careful about where he chose to rest. Tiny was scared. He looked around the park but all he could see were the tall trees and the swings. He inched closer and closer until he was next to the swing. He felt scared but he wanted to try it. He stepped onto the swing and pushed off. He felt free and happy as he moved back and forth, higher and higher. But then the swing started to move faster and he felt scared. He began to cry, "Help! Help!" Suddenly a nice lady appeared out of nowhere. She said, "Don't be scared, little one. I know it feels scary, but you're safe." He looked at her and nodded, feeling a bit more relaxed. The lady helped him off the swing and they sat together on the grass. She watched him until he felt brave again. Before she left, she said, "You can try the swing again tomorrow, but be careful!" Tiny smiled and waved goodbye. He had conquered his fear and knew he could face anything now. He could be brave and free. Once there was a port.

Look, the players are uniting" said Timmy with a huge grin. "That's right, Timmy - the two players are teaming up and joining forces to play a game together", his mother explained.

It had a very peculiar shape and a very special power - it could stick to any metal surface. The magnet was always looking around, trying to find something interesting to explore. One day it decided to try a journey. It saw a tiny metal toy car in the distance and decided that it must be an interesting adventure. The magnet looked around and saw that no one was there to stop it, so it started to ride the toy car. It enjoyed the ride so much that it didn't see the thick metal wall coming right ahead. Just when the magnet was about to cross the wall, a voice called out: "Stop, little one! You can't go through there". The magnet looked up and saw a giant metal robot. With no other option, it had to stop. The robot explained that it was a dangerous area, and that the magnet should go back home. The robot also said that it was for its own safety. The magnet didn't want to go back, but it had no choice, so it said goodbye to the robot and started its journey again, looking for a safer place to explore. Unfortunately, the magnet got lost and ran out of power. It ended its days alone in the middle of nowhere, lost forever. The sun was shining brightly, and it was a beautiful day.

His mom shook her head. "That's a bad idea, Max. You shouldn't mix them together like that." Max didn't listen. He kept mixing the erasers, determined to get the perfect concoction. He kept mixing until the pieces turned into a fine dust. But then something bad happened. The dust flew up into Max's nose and mouth. It was too harsh and made him cough and sneeze.

Timmy thought about this for a bit, and then he said, "So, when I want to go back, I need to wake the reverse?" His mom replied, "Exactly! You are so intelligent! Now, try it out.

His mom told him it was a special key that could open lots of doors. She said it was important to use it wisely. Jimmy wanted to know more, so he listened carefully to his mom's advice. He promised to always use the key in a responsible way. Jimmy grinned and ran off to play. He was excited to go exploring with his new key. Once upon a time there lived a little girl named Jenny.

Jenny searched high and low but she couldn't find a small enough key. When she finally gave up, she had a big surprise! The key that she had been looking for was right in front of her all along. It was so small that Jenny almost couldn't see it. She was so dizzy with excitement that she couldn't believe she had found it. Jenny used the small key and was able to open the door all by herself!

They kept telling him to stop, but he pretended he couldn't hear them. Finally, their teacher stepped in and told him not to push so hard and to be more mild. At first, Tigger thought this was unfair and he wanted to push just as much as he wanted. But, slowly he began to realise that being mild was better. He found out he could still push, but not so hard that it would bother anyone else. Tigger learned an important lesson that day - mild pushing is good, but too much pushing can be bad.
