Amy was really sad, but she knew she had made the right decision. Skeletons are not good toys and it was very high up in the tree. So, Amy and her mom left the woods without the skeleton.

Ben and Mia were adventurous twins who liked to explore new places. One day, they found a big rail near their house. It was shiny and long and had small wheels on it.

"Let's follow the rail and see where it goes!" Ben said.

"OK, but we have to be careful. Mom said not to go too far," Mia said.

They walked along the rail, holding hands and looking around. They saw trees and flowers and birds and bugs. They also saw a big sign that said "Danger! Do not cross!"

"What does that mean?" Ben asked.

"I don't know. Maybe there is something scary on the other side," Mia said.

They were curious and wanted to see what was there. They decided to cross the rail, but they did not see the big train that was coming fast.

"Look out!" a man shouted. He was wearing a hat and a whistle and he was driving the train. He tried to stop the train, but it was too late.

The train hit the rail and made a loud noise. The rail broke and flew in the air. Ben and Mia were scared and ran away. They hid behind a bush and watched the train stop.

"Are you OK?" the man asked. He got out of the train and looked for them.

"Yes, we are OK. We are sorry. We did not know the rail was for the train," Ben said.

"That's OK. I'm glad you are not hurt. But you should not play on the rail. It is very dangerous. You could get hit by the train or the rail could fall on you," the man said.

"We understand. We will not do it again. We were just adventurous and wanted to solve the mystery of the rail," Mia said.

"I see. Well, being adventurous is good, but you also have to be safe and smart. Next time, you can ask me or your mom or someone else what the rail is for. I can tell you many stories about the train and the rail and the places they go," the man said.

"Really? That sounds fun. Can we come back and talk to you?" Ben asked.

"Sure, you can. But only with your mom's permission and only when the train is not moving. OK?" the man said.

"OK. Thank you, mister. You are very nice," Mia said.

"You're welcome, kids. Now, go back to your mom and tell her what happened. And be careful on your way," the man said.

Ben and Mia nodded and said goodbye. They ran back to their house and told their mom everything. Their mom was angry and worried, but also relieved and proud. She hugged them and said they were very adventurous, but also very lucky. She said they should not play on the rail again, but they could visit the man and learn more about the train and the rail. Ben and Mia agreed and said they were sorry. They also said they learned a lot and had a big adventure. They smiled and hugged their mom. They were happy and safe.
Tom and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But Tom and Lily liked the seals the best. The seals were big and gray, and they swam and jumped in the water.

"Look, Mom, look!" Tom said. "That seal has a ball!"

Tom pointed to a seal that had a yellow ball on its nose. The seal balanced the ball and tossed it in the air. Then it caught the ball again and clapped its flippers.

"That's very clever, Tom," Mom said. "Do you want to get closer and see the seal?"

"Yes, yes!" Tom and Lily said. They ran to the fence and waved at the seal. The seal saw them and waved back with its flipper. It also made a loud sound, like "arf, arf!"

"Hello, seal!" Lily said. "Can we play with your ball?"

The seal nodded and threw the ball to Tom and Lily. They caught the ball and threw it back to the seal. They played catch for a long time, and they had a lot of fun.

"Thank you, seal!" Tom and Lily said. "You are very nice and smart!"

The seal smiled and winked at them. Then it swam away with its ball.

Tom and Lily hugged Mom and Dad. They were very happy. They loved the zoo, and they loved the seal.
Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They pretend to cook and eat yummy food. They have a lot of fun.

One day, Mom is in the kitchen too. She is making a cake for Dad's birthday. She tells Tom and Mia to be careful and not touch the hot oven. She also says they have to be polite and share the toys.

Tom and Mia nod and say okay. They play with the pots and pans and the spoons and forks. They make a lot of noise. Mom smiles and says they are very creative.

But then, Tom sees a big bowl of frosting on the counter. He thinks it looks delicious. He wants to taste it. He reaches for the bowl and grabs a spoon. He does not ask Mom or Mia.

Mia sees what Tom is doing. She feels angry and sad. She says, "Tom, that is not fair! That is Mom's frosting for Dad's cake! You have to ask first! You have to be polite!"

Tom does not listen. He puts the spoon in his mouth. He makes a face. The frosting is bitter and sour. He spits it out. He says, "Yuck! This is not yummy! This is bad!"

Mom hears the noise. She turns around and sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Tom, what did you do? You ruined the frosting! You were not careful and not polite! You have to say sorry to me and to Mia!"

Tom feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Mia. I was not polite. I was greedy. I will not do it again."

Mom says, "Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to help me make a new frosting. And you have to share it with Mia."

Mia says, "Thank you, Tom. I forgive you too. But you have to let me help you too. And you have to share the toys with me."

Tom and Mia hug and say okay. They help Mom make a new frosting. They share the toys and the frosting. They are polite and careful. They have a lot of fun. They make a beautiful cake for Dad. Dad is very happy. He says, "You are the best twins ever!"
Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play at the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a new boy at the park. He has a rubber ball. The ball is different. It is big and red and shiny.

"Can we play with your ball?" Ben asks the boy.

The boy shakes his head. "No, this is my ball. You can't touch it."

Ben and Mia feel sad. They want to play with the ball. They think the boy is mean.

"Let's go play somewhere else," Mia says to Ben.

They go to the sandbox. They make a castle with sand and sticks. They have fun.

The boy sees them. He feels bored. He has no one to play with. He wants to join them.

"Can I play with you?" he asks Ben and Mia.

Ben and Mia look at him. They remember how he was mean to them.

"No, this is our castle. You can't touch it," Ben says.

The boy feels sad. He realizes he was wrong. He should have shared his ball.

"I'm sorry I was mean to you," he says to Ben and Mia. "Can I share my ball with you? Can we be friends?"

Ben and Mia smile. They forgive him. They say yes.

They all go to play with the ball. They take turns to throw, catch and bounce it. They have fun.

They learn to share and be kind. They become friends.
Tom and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a rocket and Mia had a doll. Tom liked to pretend that his rocket was flying to space and exploring new planets. Mia liked to pretend that her doll was a princess and had a castle.

"Look, Mia, my rocket is going to space!" Tom said, making zooming noises. "It is very fast and shiny. Do you want to come with me?"

"No, thank you, Tom," Mia said, shaking her head. "I like to stay here with my doll. She is very pretty and kind. She has a dress and a crown. Do you want to play with her?"

"No, thank you, Mia," Tom said, frowning. "I don't like dolls. They are boring and soft. I like rockets. They are fun and hard. Do you know what space is?"

Mia thought for a moment. She had heard the word space before, but she was not sure what it meant. She remembered that her mom had mentioned space once, when they were looking at the stars at night.

"Space is where the stars are, right?" Mia said, looking at Tom.

"Yes, that's right," Tom said, nodding. "Space is very big and dark. There are many stars and planets and moons. Some of them are hot and some of them are cold. Some of them are round and some of them are not. Do you want to see them?"

Mia looked at Tom's rocket. It was red and white and had a pointy tip. It looked exciting, but also scary. She wondered what it would be like to fly to space and see the stars and planets and moons. She also wondered what it would be like to leave her doll behind.

"Maybe," Mia said, hesitating. "But what if we get lost? Or what if we meet a monster? Or what if we run out of air?"

Tom smiled. He was not afraid of space. He had a map and a helmet and a radio. He was ready for any adventure.

"Don't worry, Mia," Tom said, holding out his hand. "We won't get lost. We have a map. We won't meet a monster. We have a radio. We won't run out of air. We have a helmet. Come on, it will be fun. We can see new things and learn new things and have new things."

Mia looked at Tom's hand. She looked at his rocket. She looked at her doll. She felt curious, but also nervous. She wanted to try something new, but she also wanted to keep something old. She made a decision.

"OK, Tom," Mia said, taking his hand. "I will go with you. But only if I can bring my doll. And only if we come back soon. And only if we don't eat anything sour. I don't like sour things. They make my face funny."

Tom agreed. He liked Mia. She was his friend. He wanted her to be happy. He also wanted her to see space. He thought she would like it. He hoped she would not be scared. He hoped they would have fun.

They put on their helmets and got into the rocket. They buckled their seatbelts and pressed the buttons. The rocket made a loud noise and lifted off the ground. They waved goodbye to their mom and dad, who were watching from the window. They flew higher and higher, until they reached space. They saw the stars and planets and moons. They were amazed and delighted. They had a wonderful time. They did not get lost, or meet a monster, or run out of air. They did not eat anything sour, either. They ate cookies and juice, instead. They were happy. They were brave. They were friends.
Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big blue hill far away. They want to go there.

"Look, Tom, a blue hill! Can we go?" Lily asks.

"I don't know, Lily. It is very far. How can we get there?" Tom says.

They stare at the blue hill. They think hard. They have an idea.

"Let's ask Mom and Dad. Maybe they can take us in the car," Lily says.

"Good idea, Lily. Let's go and ask them," Tom says.

They run to their parents. They point at the blue hill. They ask nicely.

"Mom, Dad, can we go to the blue hill? Please, please, please?" Lily and Tom say.

Mom and Dad look at the blue hill. They smile. They say yes.

"Okay, Lily and Tom. We can go to the blue hill. But first, we have to pack some snacks and water. And don't forget your hats and sunscreen," Mom and Dad say.

Lily and Tom are happy. They hug Mom and Dad. They pack their things. They get in the car. They go to the blue hill. They have a lot of fun. They are glad they asked.
Jen and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big box of toys in their room, but their favorite toy was a red recorder. A recorder was a thing that could make sounds and keep them inside. Jen and Tom liked to record their voices and listen to them later.

One day, they decided to play a prank on their mom. They waited until she was busy in the kitchen, and then they sneaked into the living room. They saw a big jar of jelly on the table. Jelly was a sweet and sticky thing that mom sometimes put on bread. Jen and Tom had an idea. They took the jar of jelly and the recorder, and went to the bathroom.

They opened the jar of jelly and poured some of it on the floor. Then they put the recorder on the floor, too. They pressed the button to record, and then they pretended to slip and fall on the jelly. They made loud noises of pain and surprise. They thought it was very funny. They stopped the recorder and hid behind the door. They waited for mom to come and see the mess.

Mom heard the noises and ran to the bathroom. She saw the jelly and the recorder on the floor. She thought Jen and Tom had hurt themselves. She was very worried. She picked up the recorder and pressed the button to play. She heard Jen and Tom's voices, but they were not crying. They were laughing. She realized they had tricked her. She was very angry.

She opened the door and saw Jen and Tom hiding behind it. They looked scared. They knew they had done something bad. Mom scolded them and told them to clean up the jelly. She also took away the recorder and said they could not play with it for a week. Jen and Tom felt sorry. They had to scrub the floor and the jar. They wished they had not played a prank on mom. They learned that it was not nice to lie and make fun of someone. They also learned that jelly was not a good thing to play with. They decided to be more careful and respectful with their toys and their mom.
Tom liked to design things. He had many crayons and papers. He drew cars, houses, flowers and animals. He liked to make them look nice and colorful.

One day, he saw a parrot in a pet shop. The parrot was very pretty. It had red, blue, green and yellow feathers. It could talk and say funny things. Tom wanted to have the parrot as a friend.

He asked his mom if he could buy the parrot. His mom said no. She said the parrot was too expensive and too noisy. She said they had no space for a cage. She said the parrot needed special food and care.

Tom was sad. He went home and decided to design his own parrot. He took a big paper and drew a big parrot. He used all his crayons to make it look like the real one. He cut out the parrot and glued it on a stick. He made a beak and eyes with paper and markers. He gave his parrot a name: Polly.

Tom was happy. He played with Polly every day. He made her talk and sing. He took her to the park and the garden. He fed her spicy snacks like chili and pepper. He said they were good for her feathers. He hugged her and told her he loved her. Polly was his best friend.
Sara and Ben like to play golf in the backyard. They have a purple golf bag with two clubs and four balls. They take turns hitting the balls into a bucket. Sara is very good at golf. Ben is not so good. He misses the bucket a lot.

One day, Ben hits a ball very hard. It flies over the fence and into the neighbor's yard. Sara and Ben hear a loud crash. They run to the fence and peek over. They see the ball has broken a window. They also see the neighbor, Mr. Lee, coming out of his house. He looks very angry.

"Who did this?" Mr. Lee shouts. "Who broke my window?"

Sara and Ben are scared. They hide behind the fence. They hope Mr. Lee will not find them.

But Mr. Lee sees the purple golf bag. He walks over and picks it up. He sees the clubs and the balls. He knows who did it.

He knocks on the fence. "Sara? Ben? Are you there?" he calls.

Sara and Ben do not answer. They are very quiet.

Mr. Lee opens the fence. He sees Sara and Ben hiding in the grass. He is not angry anymore. He is sad.

"I know you did not mean to break my window," he says. "But you have to be careful when you play golf. You could hurt someone or something. And you have to be honest when you make a mistake. You have to say sorry and help clean up."

Sara and Ben feel bad. They come out of the grass. They say sorry to Mr. Lee. They offer to help clean up the glass.

Mr. Lee smiles. He is glad they are sorry and want to help. He says it is okay. He says he will fix the window. He says he likes golf too. He says he has a purple golf hat that matches their golf bag. He says he will give it to them if they promise to be more careful and honest next time.

Sara and Ben promise. They are happy. They thank Mr. Lee. They take the purple golf hat. They put it on. They look like golfers. They go back to their backyard. They play golf again. But this time, they are more careful and honest. And they have fun.
Anna and Ben were twins who lived in a big house with their wealthy parents. They had many toys and books and clothes, but they were not happy. They wanted to have more fun and adventure, like the children they saw on TV.

One night, they decided to sneak out of their room and explore the house. They took a sheet from their bed and tied it around their necks like capes. They felt like superheroes as they ran down the hall and into the living room.

There, they saw a big piano with shiny keys and a stool. Anna wanted to play the piano, but Ben said it was too loud and they would get caught. He had a better idea. He saw a big vase with flowers on a table. He raised the sheet over his head and threw it over the vase, making it look like a ghost.

"Boo!" he shouted, trying to scare Anna. But Anna was not scared. She laughed and said, "That's not a ghost, that's a sheet!"

She ran over to the table and pulled the sheet off the vase. But she pulled too hard and the vase fell to the floor with a loud crash. The flowers and water spilled everywhere.

"Oh no!" Anna and Ben said together. They heard footsteps coming from upstairs. It was their parents, who had heard the noise.

They quickly hid behind the couch, hoping their parents would not see them. But they were not so lucky. Their parents came into the living room and saw the mess.

"Who did this?" their father asked, looking angry.

Anna and Ben felt sorry and scared. They came out from behind the couch and said, "We did, we're sorry."

Their parents sighed and shook their heads. They were not happy, but they were not too mad either. They knew their children were just curious and bored.

They hugged them and said, "We love you, but you can't do this again. You could have broken something valuable or hurt yourselves. And you need to sleep at night, not play."

They took them back to their room and tucked them in. They kissed them goodnight and said, "Maybe tomorrow we can do something fun together, like go to the park or the zoo. How does that sound?"

Anna and Ben smiled and nodded. They said, "That sounds great. We love you too."

They closed their eyes and fell asleep, dreaming of the fun they would have the next day.
Lily and Max were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big case full of cars, dolls, blocks and books. They would take out their toys and make stories with them on the floor. Sometimes they would pretend to be doctors, or pirates, or astronauts.

One day, they decided to play a new game. They wanted to become animals. They put on masks and costumes that looked like lions, bears, rabbits and birds. They roared, growled, hopped and chirped. They had so much fun that they forgot about the time.

Their mom came to check on them and saw them playing. She smiled and said, "You two are very creative. But it's getting late and you need to get ready for bed. Why don't you put your toys back in the case and brush your teeth?"

Lily and Max nodded and started to clean up. They were very sleepy after playing so hard. They put their masks and costumes back in the case and closed it. They brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. They hugged their mom and said good night.

They went to their room and climbed into their beds. They closed their eyes and dreamed of being animals. But they did not know that something was happening in the case. The masks and costumes were not just toys. They were magic. And they were not happy to be locked up. They wanted to play too. They started to move and make noises. They wanted to get out of the case and become real animals. They wanted to find Lily and Max and join their game. They wanted to have some fun.
Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a lizard on a rock. It was green and had a long tail.

"Wow, look at the lizard!" Ben said. "Can we catch it?"

Lila nodded. She was brave and curious. She crept closer to the rock. She reached out her hand to touch the lizard.

But the lizard was fast. It saw Lila and ran away. It hid under a leaf.

"Aw, it's gone!" Ben said. He was sad and disappointed.

Lila did not give up. She lifted the leaf and peeked under it. She saw the lizard again. It was still and calm. It looked at her with its small eyes.

"Hello, lizard," Lila said softly. "Don't be scared. We just want to be your friends."

The lizard did not move. It seemed to listen to Lila. Lila smiled and moved her hand slowly. She touched the lizard's back. It felt smooth and warm.

"Look, Ben, I got it!" Lila said. She was happy and proud.

Ben came closer and looked at the lizard. He was amazed and curious. He touched the lizard's tail. It twitched a little.

"Wow, it's so cool!" Ben said. He was happy and proud too.

Lila and Ben played with the lizard for a while. They gave it a name and a home. They fed it some bugs and water. They were gentle and kind.

They did not know that their mom was calling them for lunch. They did not hear her voice. They were too busy with their new friend. They delayed their lunch for the lizard.

One day, Sara sees a big red flower. She wants to smell it. But the flower is high up on a tree. She asks Ben to help her.

"Ben, can you climb the tree and get the flower for me?" Sara says.

"No, I want to climb this tree. It is taller and has more branches. You can climb the other tree and get the flower yourself," Ben says.

"But I can't climb as well as you. And the other tree has no flowers. Please, Ben, help me," Sara says.

"No, go away. This is my tree. You are annoying," Ben says.

Sara feels sad and angry. She starts to cry. Her cry is loud. Mama hears her cry. She comes to the garden.

"What is wrong, Sara? Why are you crying?" Mama says.

"Ben won't help me. I want to smell the big red flower, but it is too high. Ben can climb the tree and get it, but he won't. He is mean," Sara says.

Mama looks at Ben. Ben looks down. He feels sorry for Sara. He knows he was mean.

"Ben, is that true? Did you not help your sister?" Mama says.

"Yes, Mama. I did not help her. I wanted to climb this tree. I was selfish," Ben says.

Mama nods. She says, "Ben, you should be kind to your sister. She is your twin. You should share and help each other. How would you feel if she did not help you?"

Ben thinks. He says, "I would feel sad and angry too. I would not like it."

Mama says, "Then you should apologize to Sara and help her get the flower. Maybe you can both climb the tree and smell the flower together."

Ben nods. He says, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was mean. Can you forgive me? Can we climb the tree and smell the flower together?"

Sara smiles. She says, "Yes, Ben. I forgive you. Let's climb the tree and smell the flower together."

Sara and Ben hug. They climb the tree and smell the flower. The flower smells sweet. They are happy. Mama is happy too. She says, "That's my good twins. I love you both."

"Wow, A is useful. It helps me say apple. What is this letter?" Sam points to a small b on a toy.

"That is b, Sam. B is the second letter of the alphabet. It makes the sound 'b' like in ball." Mom says.

"Cool, b is useful too. It helps me say ball. I like letters, Mom. They are fun and useful." Sam says.

Sara was sick. She had a bad cough and a sore throat. Mom gave her a pill to make her feel better. Sara did not like the pill. It was big and bitter.

"Mom, I don't want the pill. It is yucky," Sara said.

"Sweetie, you have to take the pill. It will help you get well. You can have some juice after the pill. It will make the yucky taste go away," Mom said.

Mom put the pill in Sara's mouth and gave her a cup of juice. Sara tried to swallow the pill, but it was hard. She felt the pill stuck in her throat. She wanted to spit it out, but Mom told her to drink the juice.

"Drink the juice, Sara. It will help the pill go down. Be careful not to choke," Mom said.

Sara drank the juice, but it did not help. The pill was still in her throat. She felt like she could not breathe. She started to cough and cry.

"Mom, help me! The pill is hurting me!" Sara said.

Sara spit out the pill and gasped for air. She felt scared and sad. Mom hugged her and kissed her.

"It's okay, Sara. You are safe now. I'm sorry the pill was too big for you. Next time, we will ask the doctor for a smaller pill or a syrup. You did a good job trying to take the pill. I'm proud of you," Mom said.

She saw a big black car stop in front of her house. She wondered who it was. She ran to the door and opened it. She saw a man with a big smile and a big box. He said, "Hello, Sara. I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see?"

Sara nodded and followed him to the car. He opened the box and lifted something out. It was a black puppy with a red bow. It wagged its tail and licked Sara's face. Sara laughed and hugged it. She felt happy and warm.

The man said, "This is your new friend. His name is Spot. He is a gift from your grandma. She loves you very much and wanted to make you smile."

Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. But their favorite thing was to watch the fountain. The fountain was big and shiny. It made water go up and down. Sometimes it made rainbow colors. Lily and Ben liked to make wishes on the fountain.

One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their moms. They ran to the fountain and saw something new. There was a hairy dog by the fountain. The dog was big and brown. It had a collar with a name tag. It said "Rex". Lily and Ben wanted to pet the dog. They asked their moms if they could.

"Sure, but be careful. The dog might be scared or angry. Ask the owner first," their moms said.

Lily and Ben looked around. They saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a book and a coffee. He looked like the owner of the dog. Lily and Ben walked to the man.

"Hello, sir. Can we pet your dog?" Lily asked.

The man looked up. He smiled. He said, "Sure, kids. His name is Rex. He is very friendly. But don't pull his fur or his tail. He doesn't like that."

Lily and Ben nodded. They thanked the man. They walked to the dog. They said hello to Rex. They petted his fur and his ears. They scratched his belly. Rex wagged his tail. He licked their faces. He barked. Lily and Ben laughed. They liked Rex. Rex liked them.

They played with Rex for a long time. They threw a stick and Rex fetched it. They gave him some water and a biscuit. They hugged him and told him he was a good boy. Rex was happy. He had new friends.

But then their moms said it was time to go. They had to separate from Rex. Lily and Ben were sad. They said goodbye to Rex. They said goodbye to the man. They said they would come back soon. Rex barked. He said he would wait for them. Lily and Ben waved. They walked away with their moms. They looked back at the fountain. They made a wish. They wished they could see Rex again.
Lily liked to play with her car. It was red and shiny and made a loud sound when she pushed it. She liked to drive it around the house and pretend she was going on adventures. One day, she decided to take her car outside and play in the garden.

She was having fun driving her car on the grass and the dirt, when she saw a big dog. The dog was brown and furry and had a long tail. It looked lively and friendly. Lily wanted to meet the dog and say hello. She drove her car towards the dog and waved.

The dog saw Lily and her car and got excited. It ran towards her and barked. It wanted to play with the car too. It jumped on the car and tried to bite it. Lily was scared and shouted.

"Stop! Stop! That's my car! Go away!"

But the dog did not stop. It kept jumping and biting and barking. It broke the car and made it stop working. Lily was very sad and angry. She cried and cried.

"Bad dog! Bad dog! You broke my car!"

The dog did not understand. It thought Lily was playing. It licked her face and wagged its tail. It wanted to be friends. But Lily did not want to be friends. She wanted her car back. She ran inside the house and told her mom what happened.

Mom was sorry for Lily. She hugged her and said.

"I'm sorry, Lily. That was a naughty dog. He did not know how to play nice. Maybe we can fix your car later. Or maybe we can get you a new one. Do you want a new car?"

Lily nodded. She still liked cars. She wanted a new car. A car that was red and shiny and made a loud sound. A car that no dog could break. She hoped to meet a nice dog someday. A dog that liked cars too. A dog that would not jump and bite and bark. A dog that would be her friend.
Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. But they did not like to share. Sometimes they fought over who got the best toy or who played longer. Their mom was troubled by their fights. She wanted them to be kind and happy.

One day, mom bought them a big cake for their birthday. It had chocolate and cream and cherries on top. It looked yummy. Mom said, "This is a special cake for my special twins. You can have a slice each after dinner. But you have to be good and not fight. If you fight, the cake will spoil and you will not have any."

Lily and Tom nodded. They wanted the cake very much. They put the cake on the table and went to play. But soon they started to fight again. Lily wanted to play with the doll and Tom wanted to play with the car. They pulled and pushed and shouted. Mom heard them and came to see.

"What are you doing?" mom asked. "Why are you fighting? You are making a lot of noise and mess. You are not being good. You are spoiling your birthday."

Lily and Tom stopped fighting. They looked at mom and then at the cake. They saw that the cake had fallen off the table and landed on the floor. The chocolate and cream and cherries were all over the floor. The cake was ruined. They felt sad and sorry.

"We are sorry, mom," they said. "We did not mean to spoil the cake. We were not good. We were bad."

Mom sighed. She was not happy. She said, "You have to learn to share and play nicely. Fighting is not good. It makes you and others unhappy. It also spoils things. Look at the cake. It was a beautiful cake. Now it is gone. You cannot have any."

Lily and Tom felt bad. They wished they had not fought. They wished they had been good. They hugged mom and said, "We are sorry, mom. We love you. We love each other. We will not fight anymore. We will share and play nicely."

Mom smiled. She hugged them back and said, "I love you too. I am glad you are sorry. I hope you will keep your promise. You are my special twins. You can still have a happy birthday. I have another surprise for you. Come and see."

Mom took them to the kitchen. There she had another cake. It was smaller but still yummy. It had vanilla and strawberry and sprinkles on top. Mom said, "This is another cake for you. I made it just in case. You can have a slice each now. But you have to be good and not fight. If you fight, the cake will spoil and you will not have any."

Lily and Tom smiled. They thanked mom and said, "You are the best mom. You are very kind. We will not fight. We will be good. We will enjoy the cake."

They cut the cake and ate it. It was delicious. They shared and played nicely. They had a happy birthday. Mom was happy too. She was not troubled anymore. She was proud of her twins. She kissed them on their heads and said, "Happy birthday, my special twins. I love you very much."
Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play pretend. Today they are spies. They have hats and glasses and mustaches. The mustaches are made of paper and tape.

They sneak around the park. They look for clues and bad guys. They talk in low voices. "Shh, we have to be alert," Tom says. "The enemy might be here." Sam nods. He holds a magnifying glass. He thinks he sees something shiny.

They follow the shiny thing. It is a necklace. A lady is wearing it. She is sitting on a bench. She is reading a book. She does not see Tom and Sam. They hide behind a tree. "Wow, look at that necklace," Tom says. "It must be very important. Maybe it is a secret code." Sam agrees. He wants to see it better.

They crawl closer to the lady. They are very quiet. They reach the bench. They peek over it. The lady looks up. She sees them. She is surprised. She screams. "Ahh, who are you? What are you doing?" Tom and Sam are scared. They drop their mustaches. They run away.

The lady is angry. She chases them. She yells. "Stop, you little thieves! Give me back my mustache!" Tom and Sam are confused. They look at each other. They do not understand. They keep running. They hope she does not catch them. They think she is the bad guy. They do not know she is their teacher.
Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also used some things from the cupboard, like salt and sugar and flour.

"Look, I made a cake!" Lily said, holding up a bowl of flour and water. "It has sugar and salt and eggs and milk. Do you want some?"

"No, thank you," Ben said. "I made soup. It has water and salt and carrots and peas. Do you want some?"

Lily nodded. She took a spoon and tasted Ben's soup. She made a face. "Yuck! This is too salty! You put too much salt in it!"

Ben was angry. He tasted his soup. He liked it. He thought Lily was rude. He grabbed Lily's bowl of cake and threw it on the floor. "There! Now you have no cake!"

Lily was sad and mad. She started to cry. She picked up a pot and hit Ben on the head. "Ow! That hurts!" Ben cried.

Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and the children crying. She was very upset. She took the pot from Lily and the spoon from Ben. She said, "What are you doing? You made a big mess and you hurt each other! That is not nice! You are both punished. No more playing in the kitchen. Go to your rooms and think about what you did. And no dessert for you tonight!"

Ben and Lily felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were just playing. We didn't mean to be bad."

Mom said, "I know, but you have to be careful and respectful. Playing is fun, but not when you make a mess and hurt each other. Now go to your rooms and clean up later."

Ben and Lily went to their rooms. They were not happy. They wished they had shared their food and played nicely. They learned their lesson. They decided to say sorry to each other and to Mom. They hoped Mom would forgive them and let them have dessert tomorrow.
Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together. But sometimes they fight. One day, they fight over a big ball. Tom wants the ball. Lily wants the ball too. They pull and tug and shout.

"Give me the ball!" Tom says.

"No, it's mine!" Lily says.

They pull so hard that the ball pops. The air comes out. The ball is flat. Tom and Lily are sad. They look at the ball. They look at each other. They are sorry.

"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily says.

"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom says.

They hug and say sorry. But then they see something. The ball has a hole. The hole is in the skin of the ball. The skin is the part that is red and shiny. The skin is what makes the ball round and bouncy. The hole makes the skin separate. The skin is not one piece anymore. It is two pieces.

"Look, the skin is separate!" Tom says.

"That's bad," Lily says.

They are worried. They think the ball is broken. They think they can't play with it anymore. They think their mom will be angry. They think this is serious.

"Mom, mom, help!" Tom and Lily say.

They run to their mom. They show her the ball. They tell her what happened. They say they are sorry. They ask her to fix it.

Mom looks at the ball. She looks at Tom and Lily. She smiles. She is not angry. She is not worried. She says this is not serious.

"Don't worry, kids," Mom says.

She takes the ball. She takes a needle and a thread. She sews the hole. She sews the skin. She makes the skin one piece again. She blows air into the ball. She makes the ball round and bouncy again.

"Here you go," Mom says.

She gives the ball to Tom and Lily. They are happy. They thank their mom. They hug their mom. They hug each other. They promise to share the ball. They promise not to fight. They go to play with the ball. They have fun. They are friends.
Sam and Tom are friends. They like to play outside on Tuesday. They have a big ball. The ball is heavy. They kick the ball to each other.

One day, Sam feels sick. He has a cold. He sneezes a lot. He sneezes on the ball. He does not tell Tom. He thinks Tom will not play with him if he knows.

Tom gets the ball. He kicks it back to Sam. He does not see the sneeze on the ball. He touches his face. He gets the sneeze on his face. He feels itchy. He rubs his eyes. He rubs his nose. He rubs his mouth.

Tom starts to sneeze too. He sneezes on Sam. He sneezes on the ball. He sneezes on the grass. He sneezes on the flowers. He sneezes on the bugs. He sneezes on everything.

"Sam, why did you sneeze on the ball?" Tom asks. He is angry. He is sad. He is sick.

"I'm sorry, Tom. I did not want to sneeze on the ball. I did not want to make you sick. I wanted to play with you." Sam says. He is sorry. He is sad. He is sick.

But it is too late. Tom and Sam are both sick. They cannot play anymore. They have to go home. They have to go to bed. They have to drink soup. They have to take medicine. They have to stay inside. They miss the ball. They miss the outside. They miss each other.

The end.
Lily and Tom are playing with crayons and paper. They draw many things: a sun, a house, a cat, a flower. Lily likes to draw with yellow and pink. Tom likes to draw with blue and green.

But Tom makes a mistake. He draws a big line over his cat. He is sad. He wants to erase the line, but he does not have an eraser. He asks Lily for help.

"Can I have your eraser, please?" he says.

Lily looks at her eraser. It is light and soft. She likes to rub it on the paper and see the colors disappear. She does not want to give it to Tom.

"No, it is mine. You can not have it," she says.

Tom feels angry. He does not understand why Lily is so mean. He thinks she is not a good friend. He grabs the eraser from her hand. Lily screams and tries to get it back. They pull and push and fight.

"Stop it, both of you!" a voice says. It is their teacher, Miss Lee. She sees the mess on the table and the tears on their faces. She is not happy.

"What is going on here?" she asks.

Lily and Tom tell her what happened. They both say it is the other's fault. They both want the eraser.

Miss Lee shakes her head. She takes the eraser from them and puts it in her pocket. She gives them each a tissue and a hug.

"Listen, children. An eraser is not a toy. It is a tool. You use it to fix your mistakes, not to make more. You also need to share and be kind. You are friends, not enemies. Do you understand?" she says.

Lily and Tom nod. They feel sorry for what they did. They say sorry to each other and to Miss Lee. They hug and make up.

Miss Lee smiles. She gives them back the eraser and a new sheet of paper. She tells them to draw something nice together. They agree. They use all the colors and draw a rainbow. They are happy again.
Anna and Ben are twins. They like to do everything together. They also like to win. They are very competitive.

One day, they go to the museum with their mom. The museum has many things to see. There are big animals, old cars, shiny rocks, and colorful paintings.

Anna and Ben want to see everything first. They run from one thing to another. They say, "I saw it first!" and "I know more than you!" They do not listen to their mom or the museum guide.

They come to a room with a big curtain. The museum guide says, "Behind this curtain is a surprise. You will see it soon." Anna and Ben are curious. They want to see the surprise now.

They sneak away from their mom and the group. They go to the curtain. They peek behind it. They see a big dinosaur skeleton. It has sharp teeth and long claws. It looks scary.

Anna and Ben scream. They run back to their mom. They hug her. They say, "Sorry, mom. We peeked. We were bad. We saw a dinosaur. It was scary."

Their mom says, "It's okay. I'm glad you are safe. But you should not peek. You should wait and listen. The museum guide will tell you about the dinosaur. It is not scary. It is very old and interesting. You can learn a lot from it."

Anna and Ben say, "Okay, mom. We will wait and listen. We will not peek anymore. We will not be competitive anymore. We will share and enjoy the museum together."
One day, a little boy named Tom wanted to play with his toy soldiers. He liked to make them march and fight and say "bang bang". He did not like to share his toys with anyone. He had a big sister named Lily, who liked to read books and be quiet. She did not like to play with Tom's toy soldiers.

Tom saw Lily sitting on the couch with a book. He wanted to bother her and make her play with him. He took his toy soldiers and marched them to the couch. He said, "Lily, Lily, look at me! I have toy soldiers and they are marching and fighting and saying bang bang!"

Lily did not look at him. She said, "Tom, please be quiet. I am reading a book and I want to be quiet. Go away and play with your toy soldiers somewhere else."

Tom did not listen to her. He said, "No, no, I want you to play with me! I want you to see my toy soldiers and how they march and fight and say bang bang!" He threw his toy soldiers on the couch and on the book. He made a lot of noise and mess.

Lily got very angry. She said, "Tom, you are very bad! You ruined my book and my quiet time! Go away and leave me alone!" She pushed him off the couch and he fell on the floor. He hurt his head and started to cry.

Their elderly grandma heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Tom crying on the floor and Lily yelling on the couch. She saw the toy soldiers and the book. She said, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting and making noise?"

Lily said, "Tom was bothering me and he threw his toy soldiers on my book and he made me angry!"

Tom said, "Lily was mean to me and she pushed me off the couch and she made me cry!"

Grandma said, "You are both wrong. You should not bother each other and you should not hurt each other. You should be kind and respectful and share your toys and your quiet time. Now, you have to say sorry to each other and clean up this mess."

Lily and Tom did not want to say sorry or clean up. They said, "No, no, we don't want to!"

Grandma said, "If you don't say sorry or clean up, you will have no toys and no books and no quiet time. You will have to go to bed early and have no dessert."

Lily and Tom did not believe her. They said, "No, no, you can't do that!"

Grandma said, "Yes, I can. And I will. You have been very naughty and you need to learn a lesson. Now, march to your rooms and go to bed. No toys, no books, no quiet time, no dessert for you."

Lily and Tom realized that Grandma was serious. They felt very sad and scared. They said, "Please, please, don't do that! We are sorry, we are sorry!"

But it was too late. Grandma had made up her mind. She said, "No, no, you had your chance. Now, march to your rooms and go to bed. And don't make any noise or I will come and check on you."

Lily and Tom marched to their rooms and went to bed. They had no toys, no books, no quiet time, no dessert. They had only tears and regrets. They wished they had listened to Grandma and been nice to each other.

The moral of the story is: You should not bother or hurt others. You should be kind and respectful and share your toys and your quiet time. If you don't, you will face the consequences and lose what you love.
Lily and Ben are playing soccer in the park. They are on the same team. They want to score a lot of goals. They see a big net on the other side of the grass.

"Come on, Ben, let's go!" Lily says. She kicks the ball hard. It rolls fast on the grass.

Ben runs after the ball. He is faster than Lily. He catches up with the ball. He wants to kick it too. But he sees a big dog. The dog is barking. The dog wants the ball.

"Uh-oh, Lily, look!" Ben says. He points at the dog. He is scared of the dog.

Lily sees the dog too. She is not scared of the dog. She likes dogs. She thinks the dog is cute. She has an idea.

"Ben, don't worry, I'll help you!" Lily says. She runs to the dog. She smiles at the dog. She says, "Hi, doggy, do you want to play with us?"

The dog stops barking. The dog wags its tail. The dog likes Lily. The dog drops the ball. Lily picks up the ball. She carries the ball to Ben.

"Here, Ben, take the ball!" Lily says. She gives the ball to Ben. Ben takes the ball. He is happy. He says, "Thank you, Lily, you are very brave!"

Lily and Ben run to the net. They kick the ball together. The ball goes in the net. They score a goal. They cheer. They hug.

The dog runs to them. The dog licks their faces. The dog is happy too. The dog wants to play more.

Lily and Ben laugh. They say, "You can play with us, doggy, you are our friend!"

They play soccer with the dog. They have a lot of fun. They are not serious. They are silly. They are happy.
Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. They share their toys and hug each other. They are nice boys.

One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and a swing. They want to try them. Tim says, "Let's go to the slide first." Sam says, "OK."

They run to the slide and wait for their turn. Tim goes first. He slides down fast and laughs. He says, "That was fun!" Sam goes next. He slides down too, but he slips and falls. He hurts his knee and cries. He says, "Ow, ow, ow!"

Tim runs to Sam and hugs him. He says, "I'm sorry, Sam. Are you OK?" Sam pushes him away. He says, "Go away, Tim. You made me fall. You are not my friend. You are mean."

Tim is sad and confused. He says, "But I didn't make you fall, Sam. It was an accident. I'm still your friend. I'm not mean." Sam doesn't listen. He runs to his mom and tells her what happened. His mom hugs him and says, "It's OK, Sam. You'll be fine."

Tim's mom sees what happened and goes to Tim. She hugs him and says, "It's OK, Tim. You didn't do anything wrong. Sam is just upset. Maybe he'll feel better later." Tim says, "But I want to play with Sam. He's my friend." His mom says, "I know, Tim. But sometimes friends have fights. Maybe you can play with someone else for now."

Tim looks around the park. He sees other kids playing, but he doesn't know them. He feels lonely and sad. He says, "I don't want to play with anyone else. I want to play with Sam." His mom says, "I'm sorry, Tim. But we have to go home now. Maybe tomorrow you can play with Sam again." Tim says, "OK, mom." He follows his mom to the car. He hopes Sam will be nice to him again. He misses his friend.
Lily and Ben were playing near the pond. They saw a frog sitting on a big leaf. Lily wanted to catch the frog and put it in a jar. Ben said no.

"Frog is not a toy. Frog is alive. Frog wants to be free," Ben said.

"But frog is so cute. I want to do something with frog. Maybe frog can be my friend," Lily said.

She reached out her hand to grab the frog. But the frog was not happy. The frog jumped off the leaf and landed on Lily's face. Lily screamed and let go of the frog. The frog hopped away into the water.

Lily was very sad and angry. She had a red mark on her cheek where the frog touched her. She looked at Ben and said, "I hate frog. Frog is mean. Frog is not cute. Frog is yucky."

Ben shook his head and said, "Frog is not mean. Frog is scared. You scared frog. You should not try to catch frog. You should let frog be."

Lily did not listen to Ben. She ran to the house and told her mom what happened. Her mom gave her a hug and a band-aid. She also gave her a cookie. Lily thought the cookie was delicious. She forgot about the frog.

But the frog did not forget about Lily. The frog was angry too. The frog wanted to get back at Lily. The frog waited until night. Then the frog sneaked into the house and found Lily's room. The frog jumped on Lily's bed and croaked loudly in her ear. Lily woke up and saw the frog. She screamed again and threw the frog across the room. The frog hit the wall and fell to the floor. The frog did not move.

Lily's mom and dad came running to see what was wrong. They saw the frog on the floor. They saw Lily crying. They saw Ben standing in the doorway. They asked what happened.

Ben told them the truth. He told them how Lily tried to catch the frog and how the frog bit her. He told them how Lily hated the frog and how the frog hated Lily. He told them how the frog came back to scare Lily and how Lily hurt the frog.

Lily's mom and dad were very disappointed. They said, "Lily, you did a bad thing. You should not hurt animals. Animals have feelings too. You should be kind and gentle to animals. You should say sorry to the frog."

Lily looked at the frog. The frog looked at Lily. They both looked sad. Lily said, "I'm sorry, frog. I did not mean to hurt you. I did not know you were scared. I did not know you had feelings. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?"

The frog did not answer. The frog did not move. The frog was dead.

The moral of the story is: Do not hurt animals. Animals have feelings too. Be kind and gentle to animals.
Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a coin on the ground. It is shiny and round.

"Look, a coin!" Tim says. "Let's share it!"

"How do we share it?" Sam asks. "It is only one coin."

Tim thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He sees a big rock nearby. It is rough and hard.

"Let's part the coin!" Tim says. "We can use the rock to break it in two. Then we each have half a coin!"

Sam likes the idea. He nods and smiles. They take the coin to the rock. They hit the coin with the rock. But the coin does not break. It only makes a loud noise.

"Ouch!" Tim says. "The coin is too strong. The rock hurts my hand."

"Me too!" Sam says. "The coin is too hard. The rock hurts my hand."

They look at the coin. It is still shiny and round. But it has some scratches from the rock.

"Maybe we should not part the coin," Tim says. "Maybe we should keep it whole."

"Maybe you are right," Sam says. "Maybe we should keep it together."

They decide to keep the coin as it is. They put it in their pocket. They go back to playing in the park. They are still friends. They are happy.
Lily liked to look at the flowers in the garden. She saw red ones, yellow ones, pink ones and blue ones. Some were big and some were small. Some smelled nice and some did not. Lily wanted to pick some flowers for her mom, but she knew she had to ask first.

She ran to the house and found her mom in the kitchen. "Mom, can I pick some flowers for you?" she asked.

"Sure, honey, but be careful. Don't touch the roses, they have thorns. And wear your helmet, you never know when a bee might come by." Mom said.

Lily nodded and ran back to the garden. She put on her helmet and looked for the prettiest flowers. She saw a purple one that was very big and round. It looked like a ball. She reached for it, but then she heard a loud buzz.

She looked up and saw a bee flying around the purple flower. The bee was not happy. It wanted the flower for itself. It flew towards Lily and tried to sting her.

Lily was scared. She screamed and ran away. The bee followed her. Lily ran faster and faster, but the bee was faster too. She wished she had picked a different flower.

She saw her dad coming from the garage. He had a bike and a helmet. He saw Lily and the bee. He knew what to do. He threw his helmet at the bee and hit it. The bee fell to the ground and did not get up.

Lily ran to her dad and hugged him. "Thank you, dad, you saved me!" she said.

"You're welcome, sweetie. Are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm okay, dad. But I'm sorry, I didn't pick any flowers for mom." she said.

"That's okay, Lily. You can pick some later. But not the purple ones. They are not flowers, they are balloons. They are for the party tomorrow. They are very pretty, but they are also very lazy. They don't bloom, they just blow up." he said.

Lily laughed. She did not know that balloons were not flowers. She thought they were very funny. She decided to pick some yellow ones instead. They were bright and happy. And they did not have bees.
Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. They liked to gather rocks, leaves and flowers and make them into shapes and patterns. One night, they saw a big, bright star in the sky. It was very shiny and pretty.

"Look, Lily, a star!" Tom said. "Let's go and see it up close. Maybe it is a unique star that can make wishes come true."

"OK, Tom, but we have to be quick. It is night and we have to go home soon." Lily said. They ran across the field, following the star. They did not see the fence that was in their way.

Tom and Lily crashed into the fence and fell down. They hurt their heads, arms and legs. They cried and cried. The star was gone. They were lost and scared. They did not know how to go back home.

"Tom, Lily, where are you?" They heard their parents calling them. They tried to answer, but their voices were too weak. Their parents could not find them. They searched and searched, but it was too dark and too big. Tom and Lily were alone and sad. They wished they never saw the star.
Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tent where they pretended to be explorers. One day, they decided to go on an adventure to the west, where the sun sets.

"Let's pack some snacks and a blanket," Tom said. "We can sleep in the tent when it gets dark."

"OK, but we have to be back before Mom and Dad wake up," Lily said. "They will be angry if they don't find us in our beds."

They put some bread, cheese, and apples in a bag and took their blanket and pillows. They walked to the end of the garden, where there was a fence. They climbed over the fence and entered a field with tall grass and flowers.

"Wow, this is so pretty," Lily said. "Look, there are some butterflies and bees."

They chased the butterflies and picked some flowers. They made a crown for Lily and a necklace for Tom. They laughed and sang songs. They did not notice that the sun was getting lower and lower.

"Tom, I'm hungry," Lily said. "Can we eat our snacks now?"

"Sure, let's find a spot for our tent," Tom said. They looked around and saw a big tree with a hole in its trunk. "How about there? It looks cozy and comfortable."

They ran to the tree and set up their tent inside the hole. They ate their snacks and drank some water from their bottle. They were very tired from their adventure.

"Good night, Lily," Tom said. "I love you."

"Good night, Tom," Lily said. "I love you too."

They cuddled up in their blanket and fell asleep.

They did not hear the growl of the bear that lived in the tree. They did not see the shadow of the bear that came out of the hole. They did not feel the bite of the bear that dragged them out of the tent.

They never woke up again.
Tom and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom has a toy phone and Mia has a toy sword. They pretend to be spies and enemies.

"Stop, spy! I have a sword and you have a phone. You cannot fight me!" Mia says, waving her sword.

"No, no, no! I have a phone and you have a sword. You cannot catch me!" Tom says, running away with his phone.

They chase each other around the sofa and the table. They laugh and shout. They have fun.

But then, Tom trips on a rug and falls down. His phone flies out of his hand and lands near Mia.

"Ha, ha, ha! I have your phone and my sword. You lose, spy! You have to surrender!" Mia says, picking up the phone.

"Ow, ow, ow! That hurts! My knee is hard and red. I don't want to surrender!" Tom says, rubbing his knee.

"Come on, spy. It's just a game. Give up and say sorry. Then I will give you your phone and a hug." Mia says, holding the phone.

One day, a big boy came to the park. He saw Tom and Lily and said, "You are babies. You are scared of the zip line. I am not scared. I can go on the zip line and have fun." He ran to the zip line and sat on the seat. He pushed himself and went zooming across the rope.

Tom and Lily watched him. They felt angry. They were not babies. They were not scared. They wanted to show the big boy that they could go on the zip line too. They ran to the other side and waited for the seat to come back.

The big boy saw them and laughed. He said, "You can't go on the zip line. You are too small. You will fall off and cry." He tried to make the seat go faster and faster. He wanted to scare Tom and Lily.

But he made a mistake. He did not hold on tight enough. When the seat reached the end, he flew off and landed on the ground. He hurt his knee and his elbow. He started to cry.

Tom and Lily saw him and felt sorry. They went to help him. They said, "Are you okay? Do you need a band-aid? We are not babies. We are not scared. But we are not mean. We are friends."

The big boy stopped crying. He said, "I'm sorry. I was mean. I was scared too. The zip line is scary. Can we be friends?" Tom and Lily nodded. They gave him a band-aid and a hug. They said, "Yes, we can be friends. But we don't have to go on the zip line. We can play on the slide and the swings. They are more fun."

They all smiled and went to play. They took turns on the slide and the swings. They had fun. They were not scared. They were friends.
Sara liked to walk with her dad to the park. She saw many things on the way. She saw cars and bikes and dogs and birds. She liked to name them all. She also liked to look for shapes and colors.

One day, she saw a big red pole near the park. She wondered what it was. She asked her dad. He said it was a fire pole. He said firemen used it to slide down when there was a fire. He said firemen were brave and helped people.

Sara wanted to see a fireman. She asked her dad if they could go to the fire station. He said yes, they could. They walked to the fire station. They saw a big truck and a big hose and a big ladder. They also saw a fireman. He was wearing a yellow hat and a black coat. He smiled at Sara and her dad.

Sara recognized the fireman. He was her uncle Tom. She was happy to see him. She ran to him and gave him a hug. He hugged her back. He said he was glad to see her too. He said he was just finishing his work. He said he would take them for a ride in the truck.

Sara was excited. She thanked her uncle Tom. She said he was a good fireman. He said he was just doing his job. He said he was modest. He said he liked to help people. He said he liked to help Sara. He said he loved her. Sara said she loved him too. She said he was her favorite uncle. He said she was his favorite niece. They got in the truck and drove to the park. Sara had a lot of fun. She liked the fire pole and the fireman. She liked her uncle Tom.
Anna loved sunflowers. She liked to look at their big yellow faces and feel their soft petals. She had a sunflower in a pot on her window. She watered it every day and talked to it.

One day, a big storm came. The wind blew hard and the rain poured down. Anna was scared. She heard loud noises and saw flashes of light. She ran to her mom and dad and hugged them.

"Don't worry, Anna," her mom said. "The storm will pass soon. We are safe inside."

"But what about my sunflower?" Anna asked. "It's outside. The wind and rain will hurt it."

Her dad smiled. "Your sunflower is brave. It can stand the storm. It has strong roots and a sturdy stem. It will be okay."

Anna was not sure. She wanted to see her sunflower. She wanted to hug it and tell it not to be afraid. She waited for the storm to stop.

When the storm was over, Anna ran to the window. She looked for her sunflower. She saw it still standing tall and proud. It was wet and a bit bent, but it was not broken. It smiled at her with its big yellow face.

Anna was happy. She opened the window and reached out to hug her sunflower. She felt its soft petals and its warm center. She whispered to it, "You are brave, sunflower. I love you."

The sunflower seemed to nod and hug her back. It said, "I love you too, Anna. Thank you for taking care of me."

Anna learned that day that even when things are scary, there is always something to love and be grateful for. She also learned that being brave means not giving up, even when it is hard. She and her sunflower became the best of friends.
Lily did not like haircuts. They made her sit still and feel itchy. She wanted to play with her toys and run around. But Mommy said she had to have a haircut today. She said her hair was too long and messy.

Lily went to the salon with Mommy. She saw a lady with scissors and a comb. The lady smiled and said hello. She said she would give Lily a nice haircut. Lily did not want a nice haircut. She wanted to keep her hair.

The lady put a cape around Lily's neck and lifted her on a big chair. She sprayed water on Lily's hair and started to cut. Lily felt scared and angry. She cried and kicked and said no. The lady tried to calm her down, but Lily did not listen. She wanted to get off the chair.

Mommy came over and hugged Lily. She said she was sorry and that haircuts were tough. She said she knew how Lily felt, but haircuts were good for her. She said they would make her hair look pretty and healthy. She said they would be over soon and then they could have a treat.

Lily looked at Mommy and saw her kind eyes. She felt a little better. She decided to be brave and let the lady finish the haircut. She still did not like it, but she stopped crying and kicking. She hoped it would be over soon. She wondered what treat Mommy had for her. Maybe a cookie or a sticker. She liked cookies and stickers. She smiled a little and waited for the haircut to end.
Sara loves to ride her bike. She rides it every day in the park. She likes to go fast and feel the wind in her hair. She has a lovely bike. It is pink and has a basket with a bell.

One day, Sara sees a horse in the park. The horse is big and brown. It has a saddle and a bridle. A man is holding the horse. He says, "Do you want to ride the horse? It is very gentle and friendly. I have some oats for it. You can feed it after the ride."

Sara thinks the horse is beautiful. She wants to ride it. She says, "Yes, please. Can I ride the horse?" The man smiles and helps her get on the horse. He gives her the reins and says, "Hold on tight. I will walk with you."

Sara feels happy. She rides the horse around the park. She likes the way the horse moves and makes noises. She says, "Thank you, mister. This is fun. Can I feed the horse some oats?"

The man says, "Sure. Here, take this bag of oats. The horse loves them. Just hold your hand flat and let the horse eat from it."

Sara takes the bag of oats. She reaches out her hand to the horse. But the horse does not eat the oats. The horse bites Sara's hand. Sara screams. The horse kicks and bucks. Sara falls off the horse. She hurts her head and her arm. She cries. The man runs away with the horse. He was a bad man. He stole the horse and the oats. He tricked Sara. He did not care about her.

Sara is sad and scared. She does not have her bike. She does not have her oats. She does not have the lovely horse. She has a bad wound and a bad pain. She calls for help. She hopes someone will find her and take her home. She wishes she never rode the horse. She wishes she stayed with her bike. She learns a hard lesson. She should not trust strangers. She should not ride things she does not know. She should be careful and safe.
Tom and Sue like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a big hill. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side.

They start to climb the hill. It is hard and steep. They hold hands and help each other. They are almost at the top when they hear a loud roar. They stop and look around. They see a big, hairy monster. It has sharp teeth and claws. It is angry and hungry. It wants to eat them.

"Run!" Tom shouts. "Run back to the park!"

They turn around and run. But the monster is faster. It chases them down the hill. Tom and Sue are scared. They scream for help.

They see a big rock. They think they can hide behind it. They run towards the rock. But they do not see a hole. They fall into the hole. They hit the ground. It hurts.

The monster sees them fall. It laughs. It thinks it has them. It runs to the hole. It bends down to grab them.

But the hole is not empty. It is full of lemons. Big, yellow, sour lemons. The monster does not like lemons. It hates lemons. It puts its mouth on the hole. It bites a lemon. It spits it out. It makes a face. It cries.

"Yuck! Yuck! Yuck!" the monster says. "These are not kids. These are lemons. I hate lemons. They are sour. They hurt my mouth. Go away, lemons. Go away!"

The monster runs away. It does not want to see lemons ever again. It leaves Tom and Sue alone.

Tom and Sue are happy. They are safe. They hug each other. They thank the lemons. They climb out of the hole. They go back to the park. They do not want to climb the hill ever again. They have had enough adventure for one day. They just want to swing, slide and run. And maybe eat some candy. Candy is sweet. Candy is good. Candy is not sour. Candy does not hurt their mouth. Candy does not make them fall. Candy does not chase them. Candy is not a monster. Candy is their friend. The end.
Lily and Ben went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and make castles. They also liked to fill buckets with water and pour them on each other. They laughed and had fun.

Mom and Dad brought some food for lunch. They had sandwiches, fruit and cookies. They also had a bottle of hot sauce that Dad liked to put on his sandwich. He said it was spicy and made his mouth burn.

Lily was curious about the hot sauce. She wanted to try it. She asked Dad if she could have some. Dad said no, it was too spicy for her. She would not like it. He told her to eat her fruit instead.

But Lily did not listen. When Dad was not looking, she took the bottle of hot sauce and poured some on her sandwich. She took a big bite and then she screamed. The hot sauce was very spicy. It hurt her tongue and throat. She cried and ran to Mom.

Mom gave her some water and hugged her. She asked her what happened. Lily told her the truth. She said she was sorry. She learned her lesson. She should have listened to Dad. He knew what was good for her.

Mom and Dad forgave her. They said they loved her. They also said that sometimes trying new things is good, but sometimes it is better to be careful and ask for permission. They said that spicy food is not for everyone. Lily agreed. She said she would never eat hot sauce again. She ate her fruit and felt better. She went back to play with Ben in the sand. They had a happy day at the beach.
Sara and Tom were twins. They liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big, soft horse. They called him Rocky. Rocky could rock back and forth. Sara and Tom took turns to ride him.

One day, Sara wanted to ride Rocky for a long time. She did not want to share with Tom. She said, "Rocky is mine. You can play with something else."

Tom was sad and angry. He said, "No, Rocky is ours. We have to share. It is not fair."

Sara was stubborn. She did not listen to Tom. She held on to Rocky and rocked faster and faster. She said, "Go away. Rocky likes me more."

Tom tried to pull Sara off Rocky. They both tugged and shouted. Rocky did not like it. He felt dizzy and scared. He wished they would stop fighting.

Suddenly, Rocky made a loud noise. He said, "Stop! Stop! You are hurting me. You are hurting each other. You are not being nice. You are not being friends."

Sara and Tom were shocked. They let go of Rocky and looked at him. They had never heard him talk before. They said, "Rocky, you can talk?"

Rocky said, "Yes, I can talk. But only in your dream. You are both dreaming. You fell asleep on me. And you had a bad dream. A dream where you fight and forget to share. A dream where you make me sad."

Sara and Tom felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Rocky. We love you. We love each other. We don't want to have a bad dream. We want to have a good dream. A dream where we play and have fun. A dream where we are happy."

Rocky said, "That is a good dream. A dream I like. A dream we can have together. Now, hug me and hug each other. And say sorry and thank you. And then, we can rock gently and peacefully. And have a good dream."

Sara and Tom did what Rocky said. They hugged him and hugged each other. They said sorry and thank you. And then, they rocked gently and peacefully. And had a good dream. A dream where they were friends. A dream where Rocky was happy.
Tim and Sue like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun with their friends and their toys. But one day, the sky is gray and the wind is cold. They do not want to play outside.

"Can we go home, Mom?" Tim asks. He feels hurt in his nose and his ears.

"Not yet, Tim. We have to wait for Dad. He will come soon," Mom says. She gives Tim a hug and a warm hat.

Sue sees a big hill in the park. She wants to climb it and see what is on the other side. She takes her ball and runs to the hill. She does not feel hurt. She feels brave and curious.

"Come on, Tim. Let's go to the hill," Sue says. She throws her ball up the hill and watches it roll down.

"No, Sue. It is too high and too steep. I do not want to go," Tim says. He stays with Mom and holds her hand.

Sue does not listen to Tim. She climbs the hill by herself. She steps on the grass and the rocks and the dirt. She gets closer and closer to the top. She feels happy and proud.

But when she reaches the top, she sees something that makes her scared. She sees a big dog with black fur and sharp teeth. The dog barks and growls at Sue. It does not like strangers on its hill.

"Help, Mom! Help, Tim!" Sue cries. She drops her ball and tries to run away. But the dog is faster and stronger. It chases Sue down the hill and bites her leg.

Sue falls to the ground and screams. She feels hurt in her leg and her heart. She wants Mom and Tim to save her.

Mom and Tim hear Sue's cry. They rise from their bench and run to the hill. They see the dog and Sue. They are scared too. But they love Sue and want to help her.

"Go away, dog! Leave Sue alone!" Mom shouts. She picks up a stick and throws it at the dog. The dog lets go of Sue's leg and runs after the stick.

Tim runs to Sue and hugs her. He sees blood on her leg and tears on her face. He feels sorry for her and angry at the dog.

"Are you okay, Sue? I am here. Do not be scared," Tim says. He gives Sue a kiss and a band-aid.

Mom comes to Sue and hugs her too. She checks her leg and calls Dad. She tells him what happened and asks him to come quickly.

"It is okay, Sue. You are brave and strong. Dad will be here soon. He will take you to the doctor. The doctor will make you feel better," Mom says. She gives Sue a smile and a candy.

Sue feels hurt, but she also feels loved. She has Mom and Tim and Dad. They are her family. They will always be there for her. She hugs them and says thank you. She hopes the dog will not come back. She does not want to play on the hill anymore. She wants to play in the park.
Anna and Ben are friends who like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend to drive them on the road and make noises. Sometimes they stop at the gas station to fill up their cars with fuel. Fuel is what makes the cars go.

One day, Anna and Ben find a new car in the toy box. It is big and shiny and has a lot of buttons. Anna and Ben want to play with it, but they don't know who it belongs to. They decide to share it and take turns.

Anna goes first. She pushes the buttons and makes the car move. She likes the car very much. She thinks it is the best car ever. She does not want to give it to Ben. She says, "This is my car. You can't play with it. Go away."

Ben is sad and angry. He says, "That is not fair. You said we would share. You are being selfish and mean. Give me the car."

Anna and Ben start to fight. They pull and tug at the car. They yell and cry. They do not listen to each other.

Then, something bad happens. The car breaks. One of the buttons comes off. The car stops moving. Anna and Ben are shocked and scared. They don't know what to do.

They hear a voice. It is their teacher, Mrs. Lee. She comes over and sees the broken car. She says, "What happened here? Whose car is this?"

Anna and Ben look at each other. They feel ashamed and sorry. They say, "We don't know. We found it in the toy box. We wanted to play with it, but we fought over it. We broke it. We are sorry."

Mrs. Lee says, "This car belongs to Sam. He brought it for show and tell. He was very proud of it. It was a gift from his grandfather. He will be very sad when he sees it. You should not have taken it without asking. You should not have fought over it. You should have been more careful and respectful."

Anna and Ben say, "We know. We were wrong. We are very sorry. How can we fix it?"

Mrs. Lee says, "I don't know if you can fix it. But you can try to apologize to Sam and help him find a new button. Maybe you can also give him some of your cars to play with. That would be a nice and modest thing to do. Modest means not thinking you are better than others or wanting more than you need. Do you understand?"

Anna and Ben nod. They say, "We understand. We will do that. We will be more modest and kind. We will share and play nicely. Thank you, Mrs. Lee."

Mrs. Lee smiles. She says, "You're welcome. I hope you learned your lesson. Now, let's go and find Sam and tell him what happened."

Anna and Ben hold hands and follow Mrs. Lee. They hope Sam will forgive them and be their friend. They hope they can fix the car and make it work again. They hope they can have fun with all the cars and all the friends. They hope they can be better and happier.
Sara and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill near their house. They were curious about what was on the other side of the hill. They decided to go and see.

"Come on, Ben, let's climb the hill!" Sara said.

"OK, Sara, but be careful. It looks steep and rocky," Ben said.

They started to climb the hill, holding hands. They saw some flowers, some bugs, and some birds. They were having fun.

"Look, Sara, I found a shiny stone!" Ben said, showing her a red pebble.

"Wow, Ben, it's so pretty! Can I have it?" Sara asked.

"Sure, Sara, I'll offer it to you. You are my friend," Ben said, giving her the pebble.

"Thank you, Ben, you are so nice!" Sara said, putting the pebble in her pocket.

They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw a big lake, a forest, and a town. They also saw a big dog, barking and running towards them.

"Uh-oh, Sara, look! A dog! It looks angry!" Ben said, scared.

"Run, Ben, run! Maybe it will go away!" Sara said, pulling his hand.

They tried to run down the hill, but it was too late. The dog was faster and stronger. It jumped on them and bit them. They screamed and cried. The dog did not stop.

No one heard them. No one helped them. They were alone and hurt. The dog was bad. The hill was bad. The end.
Sara and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big gray dog near a fountain. The dog looks thirsty and sad.

"Can we give the dog some water?" Sara asks Tom.

"OK, but be careful. The dog might bite," Tom says.

They take a bottle of water from their backpack and walk slowly to the dog. The dog sees them and wags its tail. It does not bark or growl.

"Hello, dog. Do you want some water?" Sara says. She opens the bottle and pours some water on the ground. The dog licks the water and looks happy.

"Good dog. You were very dry, right?" Tom says. He pets the dog gently.

Suddenly, a man runs to them and shouts. He is the dog's owner.

"Hey, what are you doing with my dog? Get away from him!" he says. He grabs the dog by the collar and pulls him away.

"But we were just giving him water. He was thirsty," Sara says.

"I don't care. He is my dog and you have no right to touch him. Go away or I'll call the police," the man says. He is very angry and mean.

Sara and Tom are scared and sad. They run back to their backpack and leave the park. They don't understand why the man was so rude. They think the dog deserves a better owner. They hope the dog will be OK.
Sara liked to play with her toys in her room. She had a big clock on the wall that made a loud sound every hour. She enjoyed hearing the sound and counting the numbers on the clock. She also liked to pretend that the clock was a friend who talked to her.

One day, Sara was playing with her dolls and the clock. She wanted to make the clock happy, so she gave it a hug and a kiss. But the clock was not happy. It was angry. It did not like to be touched by Sara. It made a very loud sound and fell off the wall. It hit Sara on the head and hurt her a lot.

Sara cried and cried. She had a big bump on her head and blood on her face. She called for her mom and dad, but they did not hear her. They were downstairs, watching TV. They did not know that Sara was hurt. They did not know that the clock was broken. They did not know that Sara did not enjoy playing with the clock anymore.
Ben is a bad boy. He likes to take things that are not his. He takes toys from other kids. He takes food from the store. He takes money from his mom.

One day, Ben sees a big cake in the window of a bakery. It looks delicious. He wants to eat it. He does not have money to buy it. He waits until no one is looking. He runs into the bakery and grabs the cake. He runs out with the cake in his hands.

But someone sees him. It is a police officer. He chases Ben. He catches him. He is angry. He says, "You are a thief. You stole the cake. You have to go to jail."

He takes Ben to the police car. He puts him in the back seat. He drives him to the jail. He locks him in a small room. He says, "You have to stay here until your mom comes. You have to learn your lesson. You have to say sorry. You have to be good."

Ben is scared. He is sad. He is hungry. He does not like the jail. He does not like the police officer. He does not like the cake. He wishes he did not take it. He wishes he was at home. He cries. He wants his mom. He wants his toys. He wants to sleep. He closes his eyes. He sleeps.
Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box of toys in the attic. They are very happy.

They open the box and see many toys. There are cars, dolls, balls, books, and more. Lily sees a shiny toy rocket. She wants to play with it. She grabs it and runs away.

Ben sees Lily with the rocket. He wants to play with it too. He runs after her and says, "Give me the rocket! It is mine!" Lily says, "No, it is mine! I saw it first!" They start to fight.

They pull the rocket from each other. They hear a loud noise. The rocket breaks in two. They see sparks fly out of the rocket. They are scared. They drop the rocket and run away.

They go to their mom and tell her what happened. Mom is angry. She says, "You broke the rocket! It was not yours. It was dad's. He got it when he was a boy. It was very special to him. You were not fair. You did not share. You did not care. You are in trouble."

Lily and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, dad. We were bad. We will not fight again. We will share and care. We will be fair." Mom and dad hug them and say, "We forgive you. We love you. But you have to learn. Toys are not important. Family is important. Be kind and gentle. Be good and happy."

The end.
Tom and Mia are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They make them zoom on the grass and the dirt. They pretend they are racing drivers and make loud noises.

"Zoom, zoom, zoom! I am the fastest!" Tom says.

"No, I am the fastest! Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Mia says.

They laugh and have fun. But then, Tom feels something on his leg. He looks down and sees a red spot. It is an itch. He scratches it, but it does not go away. It hurts and burns.

"Ow, ow, ow! Mia, look at my leg! It is an itch!" Tom says.

Mia stops playing and looks at Tom's leg. She sees the red spot. She remembers what Mom told her. It is a serious itch. It is from a bad bug that bites. She knows what to do.

"Tom, we have to go to Mom. She has a cream for your itch. It is a serious itch. Come on, hurry!" Mia says.

She takes Tom's hand and they run to the house. They leave their toy cars behind. They do not care about zooming anymore. They only care about the itch. They hope Mom can make it better.
Lily and Ben were playing with a ball in the park. They liked to pass the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away. They ran after it and laughed.

One time, the ball rolled too far and went over a hill. Lily and Ben followed it, but they did not see the sign that said "Keep Out". The hill was part of a farm, and there were animals and crops there. The ball landed in a field of corn and made a big hole.

A farmer saw them and shouted, "Hey, you kids! What are you doing here? You are not allowed to be here! You are ruining my corn!"

Lily and Ben were scared and felt guilty. They did not mean to do anything bad. They just wanted their ball back. They said, "We are sorry, sir. We did not see the sign. We were playing with our ball and it went over the hill. Can we have it back, please?"

The farmer was angry, but he saw that they were young and did not know better. He said, "You should be more careful where you play. This is my land and my work. You have to respect it. I will give you your ball back, but you have to promise me that you will never come here again. And you have to help me fix the hole in my corn."

Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We promise, sir. We will help you." They felt sorry for the farmer and wanted to make him happy. They helped him fill the hole with dirt and corn stalks. Then he gave them their ball and told them to go back to the park.

Lily and Ben thanked him and ran back to the park. They learned their lesson and decided to play somewhere else. They were glad that the farmer was not too mad at them and that they got their ball back. They still liked to pass the ball to each other and catch it, but they were more careful where it went.
Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they go to the farm with their moms. They see many animals. They see cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens. They also see a big bull. The bull is black and has horns.

"Wow, look at the bull!" Lily says. "He is so big and strong!"

"Yes, he is," Ben says. "But he is also wise. He knows how to take care of the cows and the calves. He is the leader of the herd."

Lily wants to touch the bull. She thinks he is soft and friendly. She walks towards the fence. Ben follows her.

"Be careful, Lily," Ben says. "The bull might not like it if you touch him. He might get angry and charge at you."

Lily does not listen to Ben. She reaches out her hand and tries to pet the bull. The bull does not like it. He snorts and shakes his head. He lowers his horns and runs towards Lily.

Lily is scared. She screams and runs away. Ben runs after her. He lends her his hand and helps her climb over the fence. They are safe.

"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asks.

"Yes, I am," Lily says. "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You lent me your hand and saved me from the bull."

"You're welcome, Lily," Ben says. "But next time, please listen to me. The bull is wise, but he is also dangerous. We should not bother him. We should respect him and the other animals."

Lily nods. She is sorry for what she did. She learned a lesson. She hugs Ben and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. You are right. The bull is wise, but he is also dangerous. We should respect him and the other animals. I will listen to you next time."

They smile and go back to their moms. They tell them what happened. Their moms are glad they are okay. They praise Ben for being brave and helpful. They tell Lily to be more careful and respectful. They hug and kiss them. They are proud of them. They are happy.
Sara and Tom were playing near the river. They liked to throw stones and watch the water splash. They saw many fish and birds and flowers. They thought the river was beautiful.

"Look, Sara, a big green thing!" Tom said, pointing to something in the water. "What is it?"

Sara looked and saw a crocodile. It had a long mouth and sharp teeth. It was swimming towards them. Sara was scared.

"Tom, that is a crocodile! It can bite us! We have to run!" Sara said, grabbing Tom's hand.

Tom and Sara ran away from the river. They did not look back. They ran until they reached their house. They told their mom what they saw.

"Oh, my, you are very brave!" their mom said, hugging them. "You did the right thing. Crocodiles are dangerous. You should not play near the river."

Sara and Tom nodded. They were glad they were safe. They did not want to see the crocodile again.

But they forgot something. They forgot their ball. They left it near the river. The crocodile saw it and thought it was a toy. It bit the ball and popped it. The crocodile was not happy. It wanted a real snack. It swam away, looking for something else.
Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a lot of trees. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side.

"Let's go, Tim!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find a cave or a lake or a castle!"

"OK, Lily!" Tim said. "But we have to be careful. The hill is very high and steep. And it is very hot today. We need to drink water and rest sometimes."

They took their bottles of water and started to climb the hill. They saw many flowers and birds and bugs. They also saw some rocks and sticks and dirt. They used them to make a path and a bridge and a tower. They had a lot of fun.

But when they reached the top of the hill, they were very tired and thirsty. They drank all their water and sat under a big tree. They looked at the sky and the clouds and the sun. They felt a breeze and heard a sound.

"Tim, do you hear that?" Lily asked. "It sounds like a voice. A soft and sweet voice. It is singing a song."

"Yes, Lily, I hear it too," Tim said. "It is coming from that hole in the tree. Maybe there is someone inside. Maybe it is a fairy or a gnome or a spirit."

They got up and walked to the hole. They peeked inside and saw a bright light. The light was shining and sparkling and moving. The light was the voice. The voice was the light.

"Hello, Tim and Lily," the light said. "I am a spirit of the hill. I live in this tree. I am happy to see you. You are brave and kind and curious. You have climbed the hill and made it beautiful. You have given me a gift. I want to give you a gift too."

The light came out of the hole and touched their heads. They felt a warm and gentle feeling. They felt happy and calm and free.

"Thank you, spirit," Tim and Lily said. "You are amazing and wonderful and friendly. You have given us a gift. We want to give you a gift too."

They hugged the light and sang a song. They sang a song of love and joy and peace. They sang a song of the hill and the tree and the spirit.

The end.
Tim and his mom went to the zoo. Tim loved to see the animals. He saw lions, monkeys, elephants and more. But his favorite animal was the kangaroo. He liked how they jumped and carried their babies in their pouches.

"Mom, can I buy a kangaroo?" Tim asked.

"No, Tim, you can't buy a kangaroo. They are wild animals. They belong to the zoo, not to us." Mom said.

"But I want a kangaroo. They are so cute and fun. Please, mom, please." Tim begged.

"Sorry, Tim, but it's impossible. Kangaroos need a lot of space, food and care. We don't have that at home. And they are not pets. They are not used to people. They might be scared or angry." Mom explained.

Tim was sad. He really wanted a kangaroo. He looked around the zoo. He saw a bald man selling balloons. He had a big red balloon with a kangaroo picture on it.

"Mom, can I buy a balloon?" Tim asked.

"A balloon? Sure, Tim, you can buy a balloon. Which one do you want?" Mom smiled.

"I want the kangaroo balloon. It looks like a real kangaroo." Tim said.

"Okay, Tim, let's buy the kangaroo balloon. It's very pretty. And you can pretend it's your kangaroo friend." Mom said.

Tim was happy. He bought the kangaroo balloon from the bald man. He thanked him and held the balloon tight. He waved goodbye to the real kangaroos at the zoo. He felt like he had a kangaroo after all.
Lily and Ben were twins who liked to draw. They had many crayons and papers to make pictures. One day, they decided to draw their family for their mom's birthday. They worked hard and made nice pictures.

But when they finished, they saw that their pictures looked very different. Lily drew everyone with big smiles and bright colors. Ben drew everyone with small eyes and dark colors. Lily looked at Ben's picture and said, "Your picture is bad. It is too sad and ugly. Mom will not like it."

Ben felt hurt and angry. He said, "No, your picture is bad. It is too silly and fake. Mom will not like it." They started to argue and tear each other's pictures. They did not see that their mom came into the room and saw what they were doing.

Mom was shocked and sad. She said, "Stop, stop! What are you doing? Why are you fighting and ruining your pictures? Don't you know that I love both of your pictures? They are both original and have value. They show me how you see the world and how you feel. They are both beautiful and special to me."

Lily and Ben stopped and looked at their mom. They felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not mean to hurt you or each other. We were worried that you would not like our pictures. We wanted to make you happy."

Mom hugged them and said, "You don't have to worry, my loves. You make me happy by being yourselves and by being kind to each other. I don't care if your pictures are different or the same. I care that you are happy and creative. I love you both very much."

Lily and Ben hugged their mom and said, "We love you too, mom. Thank you for liking our pictures. We are sorry for being mean. Can we make new pictures for you?"

Mom smiled and said, "Of course you can. But first, let's put these pictures on the fridge. They are still precious to me."
Lily and Ben were very happy. They were going on vacation with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags with toys and books and clothes. They had to dress warm, because they were going to see snow for the first time.

"Can I wear my pink hat?" Lily asked Mom.

"Of course, sweetie. It will look very pretty on you," Mom said.

"Can I wear my blue scarf?" Ben asked Dad.

"Sure, buddy. It will keep you cozy and warm," Dad said.

They dressed in their hats and scarves and coats and boots. They were ready to go.

They got in the car and drove for a long time. They saw trees and hills and farms and towns. They sang songs and played games and ate snacks. They were having fun.

They arrived at the cabin where they would stay. It was a small and cozy house with a fireplace and a porch. They saw snowflakes falling from the sky. They were very excited.

"Wow, look at the snow!" Lily said.

"It's so white and soft!" Ben said.

They ran outside and played in the snow. They made snowmen and snow angels and snowballs. They laughed and shouted and had a blast.

They saw a little bird on a branch. It was shivering and hungry. It looked sad.

"Look, a bird!" Lily said.

"Let's feed it!" Ben said.

They got some bread from the cabin and broke it into pieces. They threw some to the bird. The bird flew down and ate the bread. It chirped and flapped its wings. It looked happy.

"Hello, bird!" Lily said.

"Thank you, kids!" the bird said.

They were surprised. The bird could talk!

"You're welcome, bird!" Ben said.

"You are very kind, kids. You made my day. I have a gift for you," the bird said.

The bird flew away and came back with a shiny object. It was a snow globe. It had a tiny cabin and a tiny bird inside. It sparkled and glittered.

"This is for you, kids. It's a magic snow globe. Whenever you shake it, you can make a wish. It will come true," the bird said.

"Wow, thank you, bird!" Lily said.

"That's amazing, bird!" Ben said.

They took the snow globe and hugged the bird. The bird hugged them back.

"You're welcome, kids. Have a wonderful vacation. Goodbye!" the bird said.

"Goodbye, bird!" Lily and Ben said.

They went back to the cabin with their snow globe. They showed it to Mom and Dad. They were amazed.

"What a beautiful snow globe! Where did you get it?" Mom asked.

"A kind bird gave it to us. It's magic. We can make wishes," Lily said.

"Really? That's incredible. What did you wish for?" Dad asked.

"We wished for more snow and more fun and more friends," Ben said.

They shook the snow globe and watched the snow fall. They smiled and hugged each other. They were very happy. They had the best vacation ever.
Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with boats. They had a big boat made of wood that they could sail on the lake. They also had a small boat made of paper that they could sail in the bathtub.

One day, Ben and Sam decided to sail their big boat on the lake. They asked their mom if they could go, and she said yes, but they had to be careful and not go too far. She also gave them an axe to chop some wood for a fire if they got cold.

Ben and Sam sailed their big boat on the lake. They had fun looking at the fish and the birds and the trees. They saw a tall island in the middle of the lake. They wanted to explore it, so they sailed their big boat to the shore.

They got off the boat and took the axe with them. They walked around the island and saw many flowers and fruits and animals. They also saw a big cave that looked dark and scary. Ben wanted to go inside the cave, but Sam was afraid.

"Come on, Sam, let's see what's in the cave. Maybe we'll find some treasure or some bones or some bats," Ben said.

"No, Ben, I don't want to go. The cave is too dark and scary. Maybe there's a monster or a snake or a spider in there. Let's go back to the boat and sail home," Sam said.

But Ben did not listen to Sam. He was curious and brave and stubborn. He took the axe and went inside the cave. Sam followed him, but he was nervous and scared.

They walked deeper and deeper into the cave. It was very dark and cold and quiet. They could not see anything or hear anything. They only had the axe to help them.

Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. It was a bear! A big, angry, hungry bear that lived in the cave. The bear saw Ben and Sam and wanted to eat them. The bear ran towards them, showing its teeth and claws.

Ben and Sam were terrified. They tried to run away, but they could not find the way out. They tried to fight the bear, but they could not hurt it. The axe was too small and weak for the bear. The bear was too big and strong for them.

The bear caught Ben and Sam and ate them. They screamed and cried, but no one heard them. Their mom did not hear them. Their big boat did not hear them. Their small boat did not hear them.

The bear was full and happy. He went back to sleep in his cave. He did not care about Ben and Sam. He did not care about their mom or their boats or their fun.

The end.

Moral: Listen to your mom and your brother. Do not go to places that are dark and scary. Do not be too curious and brave and stubborn. Be careful and safe and smart.
Mia and Leo were twins, but they were very unique. Mia liked to draw and sing, and Leo liked to build and run. They had different toys and clothes, but they loved each other very much.

One day, they decided to play upstairs in their room. They found a big box of old things that belonged to their mom and dad. They opened the box and saw many strange and interesting items.

"What is this?" Mia asked, holding a shiny disc with a hole in the middle.

"That is a CD," Leo explained. "Mom and dad used to listen to music on it. They put it in a machine and it made sounds."

"Wow, that is cool!" Mia said. "Can we listen to it?"

"I don't think so," Leo said. "We don't have the machine. Maybe we can ask mom and dad later."

They put the CD back in the box and looked for something else. Mia found a small book with pictures and words.

"What is this?" Mia asked, flipping through the pages.

"That is a passport," Leo explained. "Mom and dad used to travel to different places. They showed this to the people at the airport and they let them go."

"Wow, that is amazing!" Mia said. "Where did they go?"

"I don't know," Leo said. "Maybe we can ask mom and dad later."

They put the passport back in the box and looked for something else. Leo found a colorful scarf with fringes.

"What is this?" Leo asked, wrapping it around his neck.

"That is a scarf," Mia explained. "Mom and dad used to wear it when it was cold. It kept them warm and cozy."

"Wow, that is nice!" Leo said. "Can we wear it?"

"Sure," Mia said. "We can share it. It makes us look unique."

They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy to play with the old things and learn about their mom and dad. They decided to keep the scarf and show it to them later. They wondered what other stories they would hear.
Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play with blocks. They build towers and bridges and houses. But sometimes they fight over the blocks. They want the same block or they want more blocks.

One day, they are playing with blocks in their room. Tim sees a big gray block. He wants it for his tower. But Jen has it in her hand. She wants it for her bridge. Tim tries to grab it from Jen. Jen holds it tight. They pull and pull. The block is hard and heavy.

Then, the block slips from their hands. It falls to the floor. It makes a loud noise. It breaks in two. Tim and Jen are shocked. They drop their other blocks. They look at the broken block. They feel sad and sorry.

Mom hears the noise. She comes to their room. She sees the broken block. She sees Tim and Jen. She is not happy. She asks them what happened. Tim and Jen tell her the truth. They say they were fighting over the block. They say they are sorry.

Mom hugs them. She says she is glad they are honest. But she says they should not fight over toys. She says they should share and take turns. She says they should be kind and gentle. She says they should use their thumbs to make a sign of love, not to hold blocks too hard. She says they have many blocks to play with. She says they can fix the broken block with glue.

Tim and Jen nod. They say they understand. They say they love Mom. They say they love each other. They make a sign of love with their thumbs. They hug Mom. They hug each other. They pick up their blocks. They play nicely. They are happy.
Sara and Ben like to play with old books. They find them in the big box in the attic. The books have many pictures and words. Some words are hard, some are easy. Sara and Ben try to read them.

One day, they find a book with a sign on the cover. The sign is a star with a circle around it. Sara and Ben think it is a magic sign. They open the book and see many patterns. The patterns are lines and shapes and colors. They are pretty and strange.

"Look, Ben, this pattern is like a flower!" Sara says, pointing to a page.

"And this one is like a snake!" Ben says, pointing to another page.

They turn the pages and see more patterns. They wonder what they mean. They try to copy them with their fingers. They feel happy and curious.

But then, they hear a noise. It is Mom, coming up the stairs. She is looking for them.

"Sara, Ben, where are you?" Mom calls.

Sara and Ben close the book quickly. They hide it under a pillow. They do not want Mom to see it. They think it is their secret.

"Here we are, Mom!" Sara says, smiling.

"Did you have fun in the attic?" Mom asks.

"Yes, Mom, we did!" Ben says, nodding.

Mom does not see the sign or the patterns. She does not know about the magic book. Sara and Ben keep it for another day. They want to play with it again. They want to learn more.
Sara and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to dig holes and pretend they were explorers. They had a big shovel and a small bucket.

"Look, I found something!" Ben said. He held up a shiny coin. "It's gold!"

Sara looked at the coin. She did not believe him. She thought it was fake. She had seen coins like that before. They were from a game.

"That's not gold, Ben. That's a fake coin. It's not worth anything." She said.

Ben was angry. He did not like Sara to say that. He thought she was mean. He wanted to keep the coin.

"It is gold, Sara. It's very old and rare. I found it underground. It's mine!" He said.

They started to fight over the coin. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see their mom coming.

"Hey, what's going on here?" Mom said. She saw the coin in Ben's hand. She smiled. She knew where it came from.

"Ben, Sara, this is not a real coin. It's a fake coin. It's from your dad's magic trick. He uses it to fool people. He hid it in the dirt for you to find. He wanted to surprise you." She said.

Sara and Ben stopped fighting. They looked at the coin. They felt silly. They had been fooled by a fake coin.

"Sorry, Ben. I didn't know it was a trick." Sara said.

"Sorry, Sara. I didn't know it was a fake." Ben said.

They hugged and said sorry to mom. Mom gave them a hug and a kiss.

"Next time, don't fight over things. Share and be nice. And don't believe everything you see. Sometimes, things are not what they seem." She said.

Sara and Ben nodded. They learned a lesson. They put the coin back in the dirt. They decided to play something else. They were happy again.
Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog was brown and furry. It had a long tail and a wet nose.

"Hello, doggy!" Lily said. She wanted to pet the dog. She thought the dog was harmless.

"Wait, Lily!" Ben said. He was scared of the dog. He heard his mom teach him that some dogs can bite. He did not want Lily to get hurt.

But Lily did not listen to Ben. She ran to the dog and reached out her hand. The dog did not like that. It growled and showed its teeth. Then it bit Lily's hand. Lily screamed and cried. She felt a lot of pain.

Ben ran to Lily and tried to help her. He called for help. A man came and took the dog away. He said he was sorry. He said the dog was not friendly. He said Lily should go to the doctor.

Lily and Ben were very sad. They did not enjoy their play in the park. They learned a hard lesson. They wished they had been more careful.
Jill was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pink dress, and a smile. Jill and Anna would talk and pretend to have tea parties every day.

One night, Jill had a bad dream. She dreamed that a big monster came into her room and took Anna away. The monster had sharp teeth, red eyes, and a loud roar. Jill was very scared and tried to scream, but no one heard her. She woke up and saw that Anna was gone. She cried and cried.

The next night, Jill had the same dream. The monster came again and took another doll. Jill was even more scared and tried to run, but the monster was faster. She woke up and saw that another doll was gone. She cried and cried.

The third night, Jill had the same dream. The monster came again and took all her dolls. Jill was very lonely and tried to fight, but the monster was stronger. She woke up and saw that all her dolls were gone. She cried and cried.

She heard a knock on the door. It was her mom. "Jill, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" her mom asked.

"Mom, the monster took all my dolls! He comes every night and takes them away! He's very bad and persistent!" Jill sobbed.

Her mom hugged her and said, "Oh, Jill, there's no monster. It's just a nightmare. Your dolls are safe in the closet. I put them there because you have too many. You need to share them with other children who don't have any."

Jill looked at her mom with disbelief and anger. She didn't want to share her dolls. She loved her dolls. She hated her mom. She said, "No, mom, you're the monster! You're the one who took my dolls away! You're very bad and persistent!"

She pushed her mom away and ran to the closet. She opened the door and saw the monster. He had long hair, a pink dress, and a smile. He was Anna. He said, "Hello, Jill. Do you want to play with me?"
Sara and Ben were playing in their room. They liked to build towers with their blocks and knock them down. They also liked to throw their pillows and stuffed animals at each other. Sometimes they made a lot of noise and their mom would warn them to be quiet.

"Mom said we have to be careful," Sara said. "She said the ceiling is old and might fall down if we make too much noise."

Ben did not listen to Sara. He thought she was just scared. He wanted to have fun and make more noise. He picked up a big pillow and threw it at Sara. Sara dodged the pillow and it hit the ceiling.

Suddenly, they heard a loud crack. They looked up and saw a big hole in the ceiling. Dust and pieces of wood fell on their heads. They screamed and ran out of the room.

Mom heard the scream and came to see what happened. She saw the mess and the hole in the ceiling. She was angry and worried. She hugged Sara and Ben and asked them if they were hurt.

"We're sorry, Mom," Sara said. "We were playing and Ben threw a pillow at the ceiling."

"Ben, you should have listened to Sara," Mom said. "She was trying to warn you. The ceiling is not reliable. It is old and weak. You could have been hurt. Now we have to fix it and it will cost a lot of money."

Ben felt bad. He realized he made a mistake. He apologized to Mom and Sara. He learned his lesson. He decided to be more careful and listen to his sister. She was reliable and smart. He hugged them and said he loved them. Mom smiled and said she loved them too. She said they could still play, but they had to be quiet and gentle. Sara and Ben agreed. They cleaned up the mess and played with their books and puzzles. They had fun and did not make any more noise.

But then, they hear a sound. It is their mom. She calls them for lunch. She says, "Lily and Ben, come down. It is time to eat."

Lily and Ben look at each other. They look at the box. They look at their dress-up things. They have too many things. They cannot wear them all. They have to choose.

Lily says, "Ben, you can wear the crown. You are a king."

Ben says, "Lily, you can wear the dress. You are a princess."

Lily and Ben smile. They are fair. They share their dress-up things. They put on the crown and the dress. They leave the other things in the box. They say, "Thank you, box. You are fun."

They hold hands and go down. They are hungry. They are happy. They are twins.
Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big tree in their yard with a swing and a slide. One day, they decided to have a picnic under the tree. They asked their mom to make them lunch. Mom made them sandwiches, apples, and cookies. She put them in a basket and gave it to Ben.

"Be careful with the basket, Ben," Mom said. "Don't drop it or spill it."

"I won't, Mom," Ben said. He carried the basket to the tree and put it on the grass. Lily followed him with a blanket and some toys.

They spread the blanket under the tree and sat down. They opened the basket and took out their lunch. They were very hungry and happy.

"Look, Lily, we have the same sandwiches," Ben said. He showed her his sandwich. It had cheese and ham.

"Yum, I like cheese and ham," Lily said. She showed him her sandwich. It had cheese and ham too.

They both took a bite of their sandwiches. They tasted good.

But then, Ben saw something that made him angry. He saw that Lily's cookie was bigger than his. It also had chocolate chips, while his had raisins.

"Hey, that's not fair!" Ben said. He pointed at Lily's cookie. "You have a bigger cookie than me! And it has chocolate! I want your cookie!"

"No, Ben, this is my cookie!" Lily said. She held her cookie close to her chest. "Mom gave it to me. It's my original cookie. You have your own cookie. It has raisins. You like raisins."

"I don't like raisins. I like chocolate. Give me your cookie, Lily!" Ben said. He reached for Lily's cookie.

"Stop it, Ben! Leave me alone!" Lily said. She pushed Ben away.

But Ben did not stop. He tried to grab Lily's cookie again. They both pulled and tugged at the cookie. They did not see that the basket was tipping over. The apples and the sandwiches fell out of the basket and rolled on the grass.

Then, the basket fell on Ben's head. It made a loud noise. Ben let go of the cookie and cried. Lily dropped the cookie and gasped. The cookie broke in half.

Mom heard the noise and came running. She saw Ben and Lily and the mess on the grass. She was not happy.

"What happened here?" Mom asked. She took the basket off Ben's head and hugged him. "Are you okay, Ben?"

Ben nodded. He was still crying. He pointed at Lily. "She has a bigger cookie than me. And it has chocolate. I wanted her cookie."

Mom looked at Lily. Lily looked down. She felt sorry for Ben. She picked up the cookie halves and gave one to Ben.

"Here, Ben, you can have half of my cookie," Lily said. "I'm sorry I pushed you. I didn't mean to make you fall."

Ben took the cookie half and sniffed. He looked at Lily. He saw that she was sad too. He felt sorry for Lily. He gave her the other cookie half.

"Here, Lily, you can have half of my cookie," Ben said. "I'm sorry I grabbed your cookie. I didn't mean to spill our lunch."

Lily took the cookie half and smiled. She looked at Ben. She saw that he was nice again. She hugged him.

"Thank you, Ben. You're a good brother," Lily said.

"Thank you, Lily. You're a good sister," Ben said.

Mom smiled. She was proud of Ben and Lily. She helped them clean up the grass and the blanket. She gave them each an apple and a sandwich. She said they could share the cookies later.

They ate their lunch under the tree. They were not hungry and angry anymore. They were full and happy. They played with their toys and talked. They had a good picnic after all.
Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. They talk to each other and make noises.

"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast!" Ben says.

"My doll is pretty, she has a pink dress!" Sara says.

They share their toys and have fun.

But then, a big dog comes. The dog is black and has thick fur. He barks and runs to Sara and Ben. He wants to play too, but he is too rough. He knocks over their toys and makes them fall.

"Go away, dog, you are bad!" Sara cries.

"Stop, dog, you are scary!" Ben shouts.

They are afraid and hug each other. They call for help.

Mama and Papa hear them. They come and see the dog. They are not angry, they are kind. They know the dog is not mean, he is just playful. They pet the dog and calm him down. They talk to the dog and tell him to be gentle.

"Good dog, you are nice, but you have to be careful!" Mama says.

"Sorry, dog, you are cute, but you have to be quiet!" Papa says.

The dog wags his tail and licks their faces. He is sorry too. He wants to be friends.

Sara and Ben smile and forgive the dog. They give him some water and a bone. They play with him and their toys. They talk to him and make noises.

"Woof, woof, you are a good dog!" Sara says.

"Ruff, ruff, you are a fun dog!" Ben says.

They are happy and have fun.
Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a furry dog named Spot who followed them everywhere. One day, they saw dark clouds in the sky and heard loud noises. Their mom told them it was a hurricane and they had to go inside.

"Why do we have to go inside?" Lily asked. "We want to play with Spot."

"Because a hurricane is very strong and can break things and hurt people and animals," Mom said. "We have to be safe and stay together."

Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They did not like the hurricane. They hugged Spot and went inside with Mom. They heard the wind howl and the rain pour. They saw the trees sway and the lights flicker.

"Will the hurricane ever go away?" Ben asked.

"Yes, it will," Mom said. "But we don't know when. We have to be patient and brave."

Lily and Ben tried to be patient and brave. They played games with Mom and Spot. They read books and sang songs. They ate snacks and drank water. They waited and waited.

After a long time, the clouds cleared and the sun came out. The wind and the rain stopped. The hurricane was gone.

"Can we go outside now?" Lily asked.

"Yes, we can," Mom said. "But we have to be careful. The hurricane may have changed some things."

Lily and Ben put on their shoes and coats. They went outside with Mom and Spot. They saw that the hurricane had changed some things. Some branches were on the ground. Some flowers were gone. Some toys were wet.

But they also saw that some things did not change. The house was still there. The grass was still green. The birds were still singing.

And most importantly, they still had each other.

Lily and Ben smiled and hugged Mom and Spot. They learned that even when things change, they can still be happy and grateful. They learned that a hurricane is not stronger than love.
Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big white rock near the slide. They run to the rock and touch it.

"Wow, this rock is so big and hard!" Ben says.

"Look, it has a hole. Maybe there is something inside," Anna says.

They look inside the hole and see a shiny eye. The eye blinks at them. They scream and jump back.

"Help, help! There is a monster in the rock!" Ben shouts.

A man hears them and comes to see what is wrong. He looks inside the hole and laughs.

"Don't be scared, kids. That is not a monster. That is a turtle. He lives in the rock. He is very friendly," the man says.

He picks up the turtle and shows it to Anna and Ben. The turtle has a green shell and a white belly. He has a small head and four legs.

"Can we pet him?" Anna asks.

"Sure, you can. He likes to be petted. His name is Rocky," the man says.

Anna and Ben pet Rocky gently. They feel his smooth shell and his soft skin. Rocky sticks out his head and makes a funny noise.

"He is saying hello," the man says.

"Hello, Rocky. You are a nice turtle. We are sorry we thought you were a monster," Anna and Ben say.

Rocky winks at them with his shiny eye. He is happy to have new friends.
Sara and Ben are playing on the farm. They like to see the animals and touch the hay. The hay is soft and yellow. They make a big pile of hay and jump on it.

"Look, Sara, a horse!" Ben says. He points to a big brown horse. The horse is eating some hay. Ben likes horses. He wants to pet the horse.

"Be careful, Ben," Sara says. "The horse is big and strong. You have to ask the farmer first."

Ben nods. He knows Sara is right. He runs to the farmer and asks him. The farmer smiles and says yes. He says the horse is nice and gentle. He says his name is Spot.

"Can we clap the horse?" Ben asks. He means pet the horse.

"Sure, you can clap the horse," the farmer says. He shows them how to clap the horse gently on his neck. The horse likes it. He shakes his head and neighs.

Ben and Sara clap the horse. They feel his soft fur and his warm breath. They think the horse is beautiful and friendly. They are happy.

"Thank you, farmer," Ben and Sara say. "Clapping the horse is fun. The horse is important. He helps you on the farm."

"You're welcome, kids," the farmer says. "The horse is important. He is my friend. And you are important too. You are kind and polite. Come back anytime."

Lily liked to explore new places. She was a curious girl who wanted to see everything. One day, she saw a big door in the park. It was cold and white and had a sign that said "Ice Rink". Lily wondered what was inside.

She walked to the door and pushed it open. She felt a blast of cold air on her face. She saw a big room with a shiny floor. People were wearing shoes with blades and sliding on the floor. They looked like they were having fun. Lily wanted to try it too.

She took off her boots and put on a pair of shoes with blades. They were heavy and hard to walk in. She held on to the wall and moved slowly to the floor. She let go of the wall and tried to slide. But she slipped and fell. The floor was very slippery and cold. It was made of ice!

Lily felt a bump on her head and a wet spot on her coat. She started to cry. A nice lady came and helped her up. She asked Lily if she was okay. She said she was sorry for falling. The lady smiled and said it was okay. She said ice skating was hard for beginners. She offered to teach Lily how to skate.

Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She was still curious about the ice rink. She wanted to learn how to slide and have fun. She held the lady's hand and followed her to the middle of the floor. She felt the ice under her feet and the cold air on her face. She smiled and tried to skate.
Anna liked to play with her dolls in her room. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress, and a shiny hook for a hand. Anna found Lily in a box at the yard sale. She thought Lily was special, not ordinary like the other dolls.

One day, Anna's brother Ben came into her room. He was mean and liked to break things. He saw Lily on the bed and grabbed her. "What a weird doll!" he said. "She has a hook for a hand. I'm going to take it off and throw it away."

Anna was scared and angry. She ran to Ben and tried to get Lily back. "No, Ben, stop!" she cried. "Lily is mine. You can't hurt her. She needs her hook. It's part of her."

Ben laughed and pushed Anna away. He pulled hard on Lily's hook, but it didn't come off. Instead, it snapped back and poked Ben in the eye. "Ow!" he screamed. "That hurt! That doll is evil!"

Anna smiled and hugged Lily. She was glad Lily could protect herself. She whispered to her, "Don't worry, Lily. I love you. You are not evil. You are special."
Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big pear tree with many ripe pears on it. They wanted to pick some pears to eat, but the tree was too tall for them.

"Let's use a ladder," said Tom. He found a ladder in the shed and brought it to the tree. He climbed up the ladder and reached for a pear. But the ladder was old and shaky, and it broke under his weight. Tom fell down and hurt his leg.

"Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. "That was a stupid ladder!"

Lily felt sorry for Tom, but she still wanted a pear. She looked around and saw a big rock near the tree. She had an idea.

"Let's use the rock," she said. She dragged the rock to the tree and stood on it. She stretched her arm and touched a pear. But the rock was slippery and round, and it rolled away from the tree. Lily lost her balance and fell down and scraped her elbow.

"Ow, ow, ow!" she cried. "That was a stupid rock!"

Tom and Lily were both sad and hurt. They sat on the grass and looked at the pear tree. They wished they could have some pears, but they didn't know how to get them.

Then they heard a voice from the tree.

"Hello, children," said the voice. "Do you want some pears?"

They looked up and saw a friendly squirrel on a branch. He was holding a pear in his paws.

"Yes, please," said Tom and Lily.

"Then you have to ask nicely," said the squirrel. "And you have to say sorry for calling the ladder and the rock stupid. They are not stupid, they are just not meant for climbing trees. You have to use the right tools for the right tasks."

Tom and Lily realized they were wrong. They said sorry to the ladder and the rock, and they said please and thank you to the squirrel. The squirrel smiled and threw them some pears. They caught them and ate them happily.

They learned that to succeed, they have to be polite, respectful, and smart. And they made a new friend in the squirrel.
Sara and Tom like to play on the beach. They look for shells and rocks and crabs. One day, they find a big, hairy oyster. It is hard and rough and has a crack.

"Can we open it?" Tom asks. "Maybe there is a pearl inside."

Sara shakes her head. "No, we can't. The oyster is hurt. See the crack? It needs to heal. If we open it, it will die."

Tom feels sad. He does not want to hurt the oyster. He wants to help it. He says, "What can we do?"

Sara thinks for a moment. She says, "We can put it back in the water. The water will make it feel better. And maybe it will make a pearl."

Tom nods. He picks up the oyster gently and carries it to the edge of the water. He says, "Bye, oyster. We hope you heal soon. And we hope you make a pearl."

He places the oyster in the water and watches it sink. Sara joins him and they hold hands. They smile and say, "We are good friends to the oyster."
Lily and Ben were going to the park with Mom. They were very happy. They liked to play on the swings and the slide. Mom packed a bag with snacks and water for them.

"Can I carry the bag, Mom?" Lily asked. She was older than Ben and wanted to help.

"Sure, Lily, but be careful. Don't drop it or open it until we get to the park. There is a surprise inside for you and Ben," Mom said.

Lily nodded and took the bag. She felt nervous. She wanted to know what the surprise was. She walked behind Mom and Ben. She looked at the bag. She saw a small hole in the corner. She peeked inside.

She saw something shiny and round. It looked like a ball. She loved balls. She reached her hand inside the bag. She tried to pull out the ball.

But the ball was not a ball. It was a balloon. And it was not empty. It was full of water. When Lily pulled it, it popped. Water splashed everywhere. Lily, Mom, Ben, and the bag got wet.

"Oh no!" Lily cried. "I'm sorry, Mom! I didn't know!"

Mom looked at Lily. She was not angry. She was smiling. She hugged Lily and Ben.

"It's okay, Lily. It was a joke. I wanted to make you laugh. I have another bag with real snacks and water in the car. Let's go get it and then go to the park," Mom said.

Lily and Ben laughed too. They were not nervous anymore. They were happy. They ran to the car with Mom. They got the other bag. They went to the park. They had fun.

But then, something bad happened. The rope was old and weak. It broke in the middle and Lily fell to the ground. She hit her head on a rock and started to bleed. She cried and screamed, "Help me, Tom!"

Tom was scared and ran to Lily. He saw her head was red and wet. He did not know what to do. He looked around and saw a book on the grass. It was a book about first aid. He thought maybe he could read it and help Lily.

He picked up the book and opened it. But he could not read the words. They were too big and hard. He only knew some letters and sounds. He felt sad and angry. He threw the book away and said, "This book is disgusting! It does not help at all!"

He hugged Lily and tried to calm her down. He hoped someone would come and help them soon. But no one came. They were alone in the park. The sun was setting and it was getting dark and cold. They were both hurt and afraid. They wished they had never found the rope.
Tom and Mia are playing in the garden. They have a small pool with water and toys. They splash and laugh and have fun.

But then, Tom feels something hot on his back. He looks up and sees the sun. The sun is very bright and hot today. Tom says, "Mia, I am hot. Can we go inside?"

Mia shakes her head. She likes the water. She says, "No, Tom, the water is cool. Stay with me. We can play more."

Tom does not want to play more. He wants to go inside. He says, "Mia, please. I am very hot. The sun hurts my skin. I want to go inside and drink some juice."

Mia does not answer. She is busy with her toys. She makes a boat and a fish and a star. She does not look at Tom.

Tom feels sad and angry. He does not like Mia. He gets out of the pool and runs to the house. He opens the door and goes inside.

He sees his mom in the kitchen. She is making a cake. She smiles and says, "Hello, Tom. How was your play?"

Tom says, "Mom, I am hot. Mia did not answer me. She did not want to go inside. She is not nice."

Mom hugs Tom and says, "I am sorry, Tom. Maybe Mia did not hear you. Maybe she was having too much fun. But you did the right thing. You came inside when you felt hot. You are a smart boy."

Mom gives Tom a glass of juice and a slice of cake. The juice is cold and the cake is sweet. Tom feels better. He says, "Thank you, Mom. The juice is cold and the cake is sweet. You are nice."

Mom says, "You are welcome, Tom. And you are nice too. You are clean and dry. Do you want to read a book with me?"

Tom nods and says, "Yes, Mom. I want to read a book with you. I like books."

Mom and Tom sit on the couch and read a book. They are happy. They forget about the sun and the water and Mia. They enjoy their time together.

But when they went back to clean up the toys, they found that Lily's favorite doll was missing. They looked everywhere but couldn't find it. Lily was so sad and cried herself to sleep that night. The end.
Once upon a time, there was a big, grumpy bear who lived in a cave. He didn't like anyone coming near his home, so he would always roar loudly to scare them away.

One day, a little girl was walking in the forest and she saw the bear's cave. She didn't know the bear was inside, so she went closer to take a look. Suddenly, the bear woke up and roared so loudly that the little girl got scared and ran away.

The next day, the little girl decided to bring a gift for the bear to make him less grumpy. She found some coal on the ground and brought it to the bear's cave.

"I'm sorry, Timmy," she said. "I'll try to fix it."

Timmy slowly approached the dog and gave him a gentle pat on the head. The dog was happy and wagged his tail. 

Suddenly, the dog bit Timmy's hand! Timmy was scared and started to cry. The owner quickly apologized and explained that the dog was still learning not to bite.

"Anna!" Lily shouted. She ran to hug her friend. "How did you come here?"

"My mom and dad brought me. We are staying here for a week. We can play every day!" Anna said.

Lily was a compassionate girl who liked to help others. She had a desk in her room where she drew pictures and wrote letters. One day, she saw a new boy in her class who looked sad and lonely. His name was Sam and he had just moved from another town.

Lily wanted to be his friend, so she urged him to sit with her at lunch. "Hi, Sam. I'm Lily. Do you want to share my sandwich and juice?" she asked with a smile.

Sam nodded shyly and followed her to a table. He was hungry and thirsty, but he did not talk much. Lily tried to make him feel welcome by telling him about her desk and her drawings. She showed him a picture of a rainbow that she had made for her mom.

"That's very pretty," Sam said softly. He liked rainbows too, but he missed his old home and his old friends.

Lily sensed that he was sad, so she gave him a hug and said, "I know it's hard to move to a new place, but you'll make new friends here. I'm your friend, and I'll show you around the school and the playground. Maybe you can come to my house after school and see my desk and my toys. Would you like that?"

She calls her mom. "Mom, what is rub?" she asks.

Her mom comes to her room and sees the dictionary. She smiles. "Rub is a verb, Lily. It means to move your hand or something else on something else. Like this." She takes Lily's hand and rubs it on her arm. "Do you feel that? That is rub."

Lily nods. She feels her mom's hand on her arm. She likes it. It is warm and soft. She rubs her hand on her mom's arm too. "I like rub," she says.

Her mom hugs her. "I like rub too, Lily. Rub is good for you. It makes you feel good and healthy. It can also help when you are hurt or sick. Like this." She rubs Lily's head gently. "Do you have a headache, Lily?"

Lily shakes her head. She does not have a headache. She feels fine. She feels happy and healthy. She likes her mom and her dictionary. She says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. Can we read more words?"

Her mom kisses her. "Of course, Lily. We can read more words. You are a smart girl. I love you." She sits with Lily on the floor and opens the dictionary. They read more words and learn more things. They rub each other and smile. They have fun.
Tom and Lily like to play in the park. They see a big pole with a sign on it. The sign says "Do not touch". Tom and Lily are curious. They want to touch the sign.

Tom says, "I can remove the sign. Watch me." He climbs on the pole and tries to pull the sign. Lily says, "Be careful, Tom. The pole is high and the sign is heavy. You can fall and hurt yourself."

Tom does not listen to Lily. He pulls harder and harder. The sign comes off, but Tom loses his balance. He falls down with the sign on top of him. He cries out loud. Lily runs to him and tries to help him.

A man who works in the park hears Tom's cry. He comes to see what happened. He sees Tom and Lily and the sign. He is angry. He says, "Why did you remove the sign? It was there for a reason. You could have been hurt badly. You are very naughty children."

Tom and Lily are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, sir. We were curious. We did not mean to be naughty. We will not touch the sign again."

The man helps Tom get up. He checks if he is hurt. He is not hurt, but he has a big bruise on his arm. The man says, "You are lucky, Tom. You should be more careful next time. And you, Lily, you should not let Tom do silly things. You should tell him to stop."

Tom and Lily nod. They say, "We will, sir. Thank you for helping us."

The man puts the sign back on the pole. He says, "Now, go and play somewhere else. And remember, do not touch the sign again."

Tom and Lily say, "We will, sir. Goodbye."

They run away and play somewhere else. They do not touch the sign again. They are more careful and less curious.
Lily was a smart cat who liked to play with her toys. She had a ball, a mouse, and a feather that she could chase and catch. She also liked to nap on the sofa and cuddle with her human, Sam.

One day, Sam brought home a new toy for Lily. It was a red dot that moved on the floor and the wall. Lily was curious and wanted to catch it. She ran after the red dot, but it was too fast and tricky. It would start and stop, and change direction and speed. Lily tried to use her paw to grab it, but it always escaped.

"Lily, do you like your new toy?" Sam asked, holding a small device in his hand. He was the one who made the red dot move with a button.

Lily meowed and looked at Sam. She liked Sam, but she did not like the red dot. It was not a real toy, it was a trick. She wanted a toy that she could touch and feel and bite.

She jumped on the sofa and ignored the red dot. She found her feather and started to play with it. It was soft and fluffy and made a nice sound when she shook it. She was happy with her feather.

Sam smiled and put away the device. He understood that Lily preferred her old toys. He joined her on the sofa and stroked her fur. Lily purred and rubbed her head against his hand. She loved Sam, and she knew he loved her too. They were a smart and happy pair.

Tom gets more angry. He pushes Anna and she falls on the bed. The doll falls on the floor. Tom runs to the doll and picks it up. He laughs and says, "Ha, ha, now it is mine!"

Anna is sad and scared. She cries and says, "Tom, give it back! You are mean!" She gets up and tries to get the doll from Tom. But Tom is stronger. He pushes her away and runs to the door. He wants to go out and hide the doll.

But the door is locked. Mom and Dad are outside. They went to the store and told Tom and Anna to stay in the room. They said they will be back soon. Tom does not care. He wants to keep the doll. He kicks the door hard. He kicks it again and again. He says, "Open, open, open!"

Anna is worried. She knows Tom is wrong. She knows Mom and Dad will be angry. She knows the door is strong and will not break. She says, "Tom, stop! You will hurt yourself! You will hurt the door! Mom and Dad will be mad! Please, give me the doll and say sorry!"

But Tom does not listen. He kicks the door harder and harder. He does not see the doll fall from his hands. He does not hear Anna pick it up and hug it. He does not hear Mom and Dad come back and open the door. He only feels the pain in his foot and the shock in his face. He only sees Mom and Dad look at him with angry eyes. He only hears them say, "Tom, what have you done?"

Lily sees Tom fall. She is worried. She rides the blue bike down the hill. She goes slower than Tom. She avoids the rock. She reaches Tom. She helps him up. She hugs him. She says, "Are you okay, Tom?"

Tom says, "I am okay, Lily. Thank you. But I am sad. I wanted some olives."

Lily says, "Don't be sad, Tom. Look, there are some olives on the ground. They fell from the tree. We can pick them up and eat them."

Tom says, "Really? That is nice. I like olives. You are a good friend, Lily."

Lily says, "You are a good friend, too, Tom. Let's share the olives. And let's be careful on the bikes."

Sara shows Lily her room. She says, "This is my room. Do you like it?" Lily nods. She sees Sara's bed, Sara's doll, Sara's dress. She wants them. She says, "Can I play with your doll?" Sara says, "Yes, you can. But be careful. She is my favorite doll."

Lily takes Sara's doll. She hugs it. She pretends it is her doll. She says, "You are my doll. You are so pretty. I love you." Sara watches Lily. She feels sad. She says, "Lily, can I have my doll back? I want to play with her too." Lily says, "No, she is my doll. You can't have her. Go away."

Sara feels angry. She says, "Lily, you are not nice. You are not my friend. Give me my doll. She is mine." Lily says, "No, no, no. She is mine. I won't give her to you." They start to fight. They pull the doll. They scream. They cry.

Sara's mom hears them. She comes to the room. She sees them fighting. She says, "Stop it, stop it. What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" She takes the doll from them. She says, "This is Sara's doll. She is not yours, Lily. You have to share. You have to be kind. You have to say sorry."

Lily feels ashamed. She says, "Sorry, Sara. Sorry, Sara's mom. I was envious. I wanted Sara's doll. I was wrong." Sara says, "Sorry, Lily. Sorry, mom. I was angry. I wanted my doll. I was rude." Sara's mom says, "It's okay. You are both sorry. But you can't play together anymore. Lily, you have to go home. Sara, you have to stay in your room. You have to think about what you did."

He tells Lily to sit on the couch and watch with him. Lily is too small to understand the cartoon, but she likes the bright colors and the sounds.

Timmy loved to play with his toy rocket. He liked to make it zoom in the air and pretend he was an astronaut. He wanted to go to space one day and see the stars and planets.

One day, he saw a big box in the living room. It had a picture of a rocket on it. He thought it was a new toy for him. He ran to the box and opened it. But he did not find a toy rocket inside. He found a costume. It was a space suit, with a helmet, gloves and boots.

"Look, Timmy, this is your Halloween costume!" his mom said. "You can be an astronaut for trick-or-treat!"

Timmy did not like the costume. He wanted a toy rocket, not a space suit. He felt uncomfortable in the costume. It was too big and too hot. He could not see well in the helmet. He could not hear well either.

He tried to take off the costume, but it was too hard. He started to cry.

"Mommy, I don't want to wear this!" he said.

"Timmy, don't cry. You look so cute in your costume. Everyone will love it. And you can still play with your toy rocket later. Come on, let's go to the mirror and see how you look."

Mommy took Timmy to the mirror. Timmy looked at himself in the costume. He did not recognize himself. He looked like a stranger. He felt scared.

"Mommy, who is that?" he asked.

"That's you, Timmy. That's you in your space suit. Don't you like it?"

Timmy shook his head. He did not like it at all. He wanted to be himself, not an astronaut. He wanted to play with his toy rocket, not wear a space suit.

He cried louder.

"Mommy, I want to take it off! I want to take it off!" he said.

Mommy sighed. She saw that Timmy was very unhappy. She decided to let him take off the costume. She helped him unzip the suit and remove the helmet, gloves and boots.

"There, there, Timmy. It's okay. You don't have to wear the costume if you don't want to. We can find something else for you to wear for Halloween. Maybe a cowboy, or a pirate, or a dinosaur. What do you think?"

Timmy smiled. He felt better. He hugged his mom and said, "Thank you, Mommy. I love you. Can I play with my toy rocket now?"

"Of course, Timmy. You can play with your toy rocket. But first, let's put the costume back in the box. Maybe we can give it to someone else who likes space suits."

Timmy nodded. He helped his mom put the costume back in the box. He hoped that someone else would like it more than he did. He did not want to wear it ever again.

He picked up his toy rocket and ran to his room. He made it zoom in the air and pretended he was an astronaut. He still wanted to go to space one day and see the stars and planets. But he wanted to do it in his own way. He wanted to do it with his toy rocket.

Sam has fewer blocks. He puts one block on top of another block. He makes his tower high, but not as high as Tom's. He is sad. He thinks he will lose.

Sam sees a big block. It is rough and heavy. He thinks it will make his tower taller. He picks up the big block. He tries to put it on top of his tower.

But the big block is too heavy. It makes his tower fall down. All the blocks crash to the floor. Sam cries. He has no tower.

Tom laughs. He thinks he has won. He looks at his tower. It is still very high. He wants to finish his tower. He puts one more block on top of his tower.

But the last block is too much. It makes his tower fall down too. All the blocks crash to the floor. Tom cries. He has no tower.

Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with balloons. One day, they found a big red balloon in the park. They wanted to take it home.

"Can I hold the balloon?" Lily asked.

"OK, but be careful. It might pop," Ben said.

Lily held the balloon by the string. She felt happy. She liked how the balloon was round and shiny. She wanted to show it to her mom.

They walked to Lily's house. On the way, they saw a cat. The cat was black and furry. It saw the balloon and wanted to play with it. It jumped and tried to catch the balloon with its claws.

"Look out, Lily!" Ben shouted.

Lily was scared. She let go of the string. The balloon flew away in the air. Lily and Ben watched it go higher and higher. They felt sad. They lost the balloon.

"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to drop the balloon," Lily said.

"It's OK, Lily. It was an accident. Don't cry," Ben said.

Lily and Ben are curious. They want to talk to the person. They walk to the bench and say hello. The person does not say hello back. He looks at them with a mean face. He says, "Go away. This is my park. You cannot play here."

Lily and Ben are scared. They run back to their mom. They tell her what the person said. Their mom is angry. She says, "That is not nice. The park is for everyone. Let's go and tell him to leave."

Their mom takes them to the bench. She says to the person, "Excuse me, sir. Why are you being rude to my children? They have the right to play here. This is a public park. You cannot claim it as yours."

The person does not listen. He stands up and shouts, "No! This is my park! I found it first! You are all trespassers! Go away or I will hurt you!" He takes out a knife from his bag and waves it in the air.

Lily, Ben and their mom are terrified. They scream and run away. The person chases them with the knife. He is faster than them. He catches up with them and stabs them. They fall to the ground and bleed. They do not get up. They are dead.

"Yes, Tom, the sun is going to sleep. We should go home soon. I am tired." Lily says. She yawns. She rubs her eyes.

"Me too, Lily. But first, let's feed the ducks. They are hungry." Tom says. He has some bread. He breaks the bread into small pieces. He throws the pieces to the pond. The ducks swim to the bread. They quack and eat.

The sneeze was so loud that it scared the other horses. They jumped and ran away. Mira felt sad. She did not mean to scare them. She wanted to say sorry.

She saw Ben, a friendly donkey, in the corner. He did not run away. He came closer to Mira and said, "Are you okay, Mira? That was a big sneeze."

Mira nodded and said, "I'm okay, Ben. Thank you for staying. I have a tickle in my nose. I don't know why."

Ben smiled and said, "Maybe you have a cold. You should rest and drink some water. I will keep you company. Don't worry, your friends will come back. They know you are a good horse."

Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a yellow ball that she liked to bounce and catch. Ben had a toy animal that he liked to make noises with. It was a brown bear that could roar and growl.

"Look at my ball, Ben!" Lily said. "It is so yellow and round and fun!"

"Look at my animal, Lily!" Ben said. "It is so brown and furry and loud!"

They showed each other their toys and smiled. They decided to play together and share their toys.

"Uh-oh," Lily said. "We broke the window. Mommy and Daddy will be mad."

Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, Lily draws a picture of a big flower. She is very happy with her picture. She shows it to Ben.

"Look, Ben, I made a flower. Do you like it?" Lily asks.

Ben likes the picture. He wants to have it. He says, "Yes, I like it. Can I have it?"

Lily says, "No, Ben, this is my picture. I made it. You can make your own picture."

Ben is angry. He thinks Lily is selfish. He says, "No, I want your picture. Give it to me!"

He tries to grab the picture from Lily. Lily holds on to it. They pull and tug. The picture rips. Lily and Ben are both sad. They cry.

Mom hears them cry. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the ripped picture. She says, "Oh, no, what happened?"

Lily and Ben tell her what happened. Mom says, "Lily and Ben, you both did something wrong. Lily, you should share your picture with Ben. It is nice to share with your friends. Ben, you should not take Lily's picture. It is rude to take something that is not yours. You both should care about each other's feelings. You both should say sorry."

Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big statue of a man on a horse. The statue was shiny and tall.

"Let's go see the statue!" Anna said.

"OK!" Ben said.

They ran to the statue. They looked at the man and the horse. They touched the metal. It was cold and hard.

"I want to grab the horse's tail!" Anna said.

"No, don't do that!" Ben said. "It's not nice. And it might be dangerous."

But Anna did not listen. She climbed on the statue. She reached for the horse's tail. She grabbed it with her hand.

Suddenly, the statue moved. It made a loud noise. It shook and wobbled. Anna screamed. Ben screamed. The statue fell down. It crashed on the ground. It broke into pieces.

Anna and Ben were hurt. They cried. They were bleeding. They were scared.

People came running. They saw the statue and the children. They were shocked and angry. They called for help.

"Why did you do that?" a man asked Anna and Ben. "Why did you break the statue?"

One day, Ben finds a magic wand in his toy box. He does not know where it came from, but he thinks it is cool. He waves it around and says, "Abracadabra!" He sees a spark and a flash. He feels funny.

He looks at his guitar. It is very small. He looks at his hands. They are very big. He looks at his room. It is very big. He has shrunk!

He hears his mom calling him. "Ben, time for lunch!" He tries to answer, but his voice is very tiny. He runs to the door, but it is too high. He sees his cat, Fluffy, coming towards him. Fluffy thinks he is a mouse. He is scared.

He looks at his guitar. It is very big. He looks at his hands. They are very small. He looks at his room. It is very small. He has grown!

He waves the wand again and says, "Abracadabra!" He hopes it will make him normal again. He sees another spark and flash. He feels funny.

He looks at his guitar. It is just right. He looks at his hands. They are just right. He looks at his room. It is just right. He is normal!

He hears his mom calling him. "Ben, are you okay?" He answers, "Yes, mom, I'm okay." He puts the wand back in his toy box. He does not want to play with it anymore. He picks up his guitar and plays a song. He is glad.

He runs to the big dog and barks. The big dog does not like it. He growls and shows his teeth. He thinks Sam is rude. He wants to be left alone.

"Hey, stop that!" Tom yells. He runs after Sam and grabs his collar. He is worried. He does not want Sam to get hurt. He does not want the big dog to get angry.

"Sorry, sorry!" the owner of the big dog yells. He holds his dog by the leash. He is sorry too. He knows his dog is not friendly. He knows his dog is rare and some people want to see him. But he does not like strangers.

Tim and Lily are twins. They like to draw and color with their crayons. One day, they find a big bottle of blue ink in their dad's office. They think it is very pretty and shiny.

"Let's use the ink to make a picture," Tim says.

"OK, but we have to be careful. Dad said ink is messy and can stain," Lily says.

They take the bottle and some paper to the living room. They open the bottle and dip their fingers in the ink. They make dots and lines and swirls on the paper. They are having fun.

But then, Tim spills some ink on the carpet. It makes a big blue stain. Tim and Lily are scared. They try to wipe it with a cloth, but it only makes it worse.

"Oh no, what do we do?" Tim says.

"We have to tell mom and dad. Maybe they can help us," Lily says.

They run to find their parents. They show them the ink and the stain. They say they are sorry and ask for help.

Mom and dad are not happy, but they are not angry. They hug Tim and Lily and say they love them. They say they will help them clean the stain.

Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a rare automobile that her dad gave her for her birthday. It was shiny and red and had four big wheels. Ben had a stuffed lion that he liked to make roar. He pretended that the lion was hungry and wanted to eat the automobile.

"Roar! Roar! I am a big lion and I want to eat your automobile!" Ben said, making his lion jump at Lily's toy.

"No, no, no! You can't eat my automobile! It is mine and it is rare and I love it!" Lily said, holding her toy away from Ben.

"Roar! Roar! I don't care! I am a big lion and I can eat whatever I want!" Ben said, making his lion chase Lily's toy.

Lily and Ben ran around the living room, making noise and bumping into things. Their mom heard them and came to see what was going on.

"What are you two doing? Why are you making so much noise?" Mom asked, looking at the mess.

"Lily won't let me eat her automobile!" Ben said, pointing at Lily.

"Ben wants to eat my automobile!" Lily said, pointing at Ben.

Mom sighed and picked up the lion and the automobile. She gave them to Lily and Ben and said, "You need to share your toys and play nicely. The lion can't eat the automobile, because it is not food. The automobile can't run away from the lion, because it is not alive. They are both toys and you can pretend with them, but you can't hurt them or each other. Do you understand?"

Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Mom."

Mom smiled and said, "Good. Now, why don't you play something else? How about you make the lion and the automobile friends?"

Lily and Ben liked that idea. They said, "Okay, Mom."

They hugged their toys and said, "Sorry, lion. Sorry, automobile. We are friends now."

They played together, making the lion and the automobile go on adventures and have fun. They did not roar or fight anymore. They were happy.
Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals. She was happy when she painted.

One day, Lily went to the zoo with her mom and dad. She saw many animals. She saw lions and monkeys and elephants. She wanted to paint them.

She asked her mom for her paint box. Her mom gave it to her. Lily found a bench and started to paint. She painted a lion with a big mane. She painted a monkey with a long tail. She painted an elephant with a big trunk.

But then, a man came. He was a staff at the zoo. He was angry. He said, "What are you doing? You can't paint here. This is not a place for painting. This is a place for looking. You are making a mess. You are stupid."

Lily was scared. She did not understand. She liked to paint. She did not make a mess. She was not stupid. She started to cry.

Her mom and dad came. They saw the man and Lily. They were angry too. They said, "How dare you? You can't talk to our daughter like that. She is not stupid. She is creative. She is painting beautiful pictures. You are rude. You are stupid."

The man was scared. He did not expect that. He said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I was just doing my job. I have to keep the zoo clean and safe. I didn't know she was your daughter. Please forgive me."

Lily's mom and dad calmed down. They said, "It's okay. We forgive you. But you should be more careful. You should not judge people by what they do. You should appreciate their talents. You should be kind."

The man nodded. He said, "You are right. I should be kind. I'm sorry, Lily. Can I see your paintings? They look very nice."

Lily stopped crying. She smiled. She showed him her paintings. He smiled too. He said, "They are very nice. You are very good at painting. You have a gift. Can I keep one of them?"

Lily nodded. She gave him the painting of the elephant. He thanked her. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very generous. You have made my day. Can I give you something in return?"

Lily nodded. She said, "Can I have a staff badge? I want to be a staff at the zoo too. I want to help the animals."

The man laughed. He said, "Sure, Lily. You can have a staff badge. You can be a staff at the zoo too. You can help the animals. You are very smart."

He gave her a staff badge. She put it on. She was happy. She said, "Thank you, mister. You are very nice. You are not stupid."

They hugged. They became friends. They went to see more animals. They had fun. They learned from each other. They painted more pictures. They were happy.
Lena and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys and make noise. But they do not like to bathe. They think it is boring and cold.

One day, Mom says, "It is time to bathe, Lena and Max. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." Lena and Max say, "No, Mom, we do not want to bathe. We want to play more." Mom says, "You have to bathe, or you will be dirty and smelly. And you will miss the surprise I have for you."

Lena and Max are curious. They ask, "What surprise, Mom?" Mom says, "You will see, but first you have to bathe. Come on, it will be fun." Lena and Max follow Mom to the bathroom. Mom fills the tub with warm water and bubbles. She puts some toys in the water. She says, "Look, you can play with these toys while you bathe. And you can make bubbles with your mouth. And you can splash each other. But be careful, do not splash too much, or you will make a mess."

Lena and Max see the toys and the bubbles. They think it looks fun. They take off their clothes and get in the tub. They start to play with the toys and make bubbles. They splash each other and giggle. They are lively and happy. Mom says, "See, bathing is not so bad, is it?" Lena and Max say, "No, Mom, bathing is fun. Thank you for the toys and the bubbles."

Mom says, "You are welcome, Lena and Max. But I have another surprise for you. Look, I have a cord here. Do you know what it is for?" Lena and Max shake their heads. Mom says, "It is for the radio. I can plug it in the wall and turn on the radio. Then we can listen to some music while you bathe. Do you like music?" Lena and Max nod. Mom says, "OK, then let me plug in the cord and turn on the radio. What kind of music do you want to hear?" Lena and Max say, "We want to hear some songs that we can sing along." Mom says, "OK, let me find some songs that you can sing along. Here, how about this one?" She turns on the radio and a song starts to play. Lena and Max recognize the song. They say, "We know this song, Mom. It is one of our favorites." Mom says, "Good, then let's sing along." She joins Lena and Max in singing the song. They sing loudly and happily. They bathe, play, and sing. They have a lot of fun. Mom smiles and thinks, "Maybe they will like to bathe more from now on."
Ben and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and eat chocolate. But today, they had to stay inside. It was raining and cold outside. They were bored.

"Let's play a game," said Ben. "I will say a number and you will say the next number. Like this: one, two, three..."

"That's boring," said Lily. "I don't like numbers. I like chocolate. Let's eat some chocolate."

"No, we can't," said Ben. "Mom said we have to wait until after lunch. And numbers are fun. Come on, try it. One, two, three..."

"Four, five, six," said Lily, but she did not sound happy. She wanted chocolate.

"Seven, eight, nine," said Ben, but he saw that Lily was not having fun. He wanted to make her happy.

"Ten, eleven, twelve," said Lily, but she looked at the cupboard where the chocolate was. She had an idea.

"Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen," said Ben, but he noticed that Lily was moving closer to the cupboard. He had a bad feeling.

"Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen," said Lily, but she reached for the cupboard door. She opened it and grabbed a chocolate bar.

"Nineteen, twenty, stop!" said Ben, but it was too late. Lily had broken the chocolate bar and put a piece in her mouth.

"Yum, yum, yum," said Lily, but she saw that Ben was angry. He had a sad face.

"Lily, you are bad," said Ben. "You broke the rule. Mom will be mad. And you did not share. That's not nice."

"Sorry, Ben," said Lily, but she did not sound sorry. She liked chocolate. She gave him a small piece.

"Thank you, Lily," said Ben, but he did not feel happy. He liked chocolate, but he did not like breaking the rule. He wished they had played a different game.
Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big truck and Lily had a doll. They were having fun until Tom saw Lily's doll and wanted to play with it.

"Give me your doll!" Tom said, grabbing the doll from Lily's hands.

"No, it's mine!" Lily said, pulling the doll back.

They started to fight over the doll, and they made a lot of noise. Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong.

"Stop fighting, you two!" Mom said. "You have to share your toys and be nice to each other."

"But I want the doll!" Tom said.

"But it's mine!" Lily said.

Mom sighed and looked at the clock. She was impatient. She had to go to the store and buy some food for dinner. She had an idea.

"Look, I have a surprise for you," Mom said. "I bought you a new toy. It's in this box. But you can only open it if you forgive each other and say sorry."

Tom and Lily looked at the box. They were curious. They wanted to see what was inside. They looked at each other and felt sorry for fighting.

"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily said.

"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said.

They hugged and smiled. Mom was happy. She gave them the box and let them open it. Inside was a puzzle with a picture of a farm. They liked it.

"Wow, thank you, Mom!" Tom and Lily said.

"You're welcome, my loves," Mom said. "Now you can play with the puzzle together while I go to the store. Be good, okay?"

"Okay, Mom," Tom and Lily said.

They started to play with the puzzle, and they forgot about the doll and the truck. They were happy. They learned to forgive and share.
Lily and Ben are playing in the living room. They have many toys and books, but they want to do something new and interesting. They see a big box in the corner. It is empty and has a lid.

"Let's make a fort with the box!" Lily says. "We can hide inside and pretend we are in a castle or a spaceship."

"OK!" Ben says. "But how do we make the fort?"

Lily thinks for a moment. She has an idea. She gets a chair and puts it next to the box. She climbs on the chair and lifts the lid of the box. She pushes it up until it touches the ceiling. She asks Ben to support the lid with his hands.

"Look, Ben!" Lily says. "Now we have a roof for our fort. We can go inside and close the lid. It will be dark and cozy."

Ben likes the idea. He supports the lid with his hands and climbs on the chair. He joins Lily inside the box. They close the lid and sit down. They can hear each other's breathing and giggling. They feel happy and safe.

They start to imagine that they are in a different place. They tell each other stories about what they see and hear and feel. They have a lot of fun in their fort. They forget about the toys and books. They only need the box, the lid, the ceiling, and each other.
Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Ben had a red car and Lily had a blue car. They pretended they were driving on a big road with many other cars.

"Look, Lily, I can reverse my car!" Ben said, as he moved his car backwards. "Can you do that?"

Lily tried to reverse her car, but she was not very good at it. She bumped into a flower pot and knocked it over. The dirt and the flowers fell on the ground.

"Oh no!" Lily said. "Mom will be angry!"

Ben laughed. He thought it was funny. He reversed his car again and again, making more mess. He did not care about the flowers or the dirt. He only cared about his car.

"Stop it, Ben!" Lily said. "You are being mean and rude! You are making a disgusting view!"

Ben did not listen. He reversed his car one more time, but he did not see the big rock behind him. He hit the rock hard and his car broke. The wheels and the windows and the doors fell off.

"Ow!" Ben said. "My car! My car is broken!"

Lily felt sorry for Ben, but she was also angry. She said, "That is what you get for being mean and rude. You should have been careful and kind. You should have helped me clean the mess. Now you have no car and a disgusting view."

Ben realized he was wrong. He felt sad and sorry. He said, "You are right, Lily. I was mean and rude. I am sorry. Can you forgive me?"

Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, I can forgive you. But you have to help me clean the mess and fix the flower pot. And you have to be careful and kind from now on."

Ben agreed. He said, "OK, I will. Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend."

They hugged and smiled. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful and kind and to respect the view. They cleaned the mess and fixed the flower pot. They played with their cars again, but this time they did not reverse them. They drove them forward and had fun.
Sara and Ben are twins, but they are different. Sara likes to play with dolls and draw pictures. Ben likes to run and jump and play with cars. One day, they go outside to play in the snow. Sara makes a snowman with a hat and a scarf. Ben makes a snow fort with a tunnel and a flag.

"Look at my snowman!" Sara says. "He is so nice and warm."

"Look at my snow fort!" Ben says. "It is so strong and cool."

They both think their snow things are the best. They start to argue.

"My snowman is better than your snow fort!" Sara says.

"No, my snow fort is better than your snowman!" Ben says.

They get angry and start to throw snowballs at each other. Sara hits Ben in the arm. Ben hits Sara in the leg. They both cry.

"Ow, that hurts!" Sara says.

"Ow, that hurts!" Ben says.

They both sit on the ground and rub their sore spots. They look at each other and feel sorry.

"I'm sorry, Sara," Ben says. "I didn't mean to hurt you."

"I'm sorry, Ben," Sara says. "I didn't mean to hurt you."

They hug and say they are sorry. They look at their snow things and smile.

"Your snowman is nice and warm," Ben says.

"Your snow fort is strong and cool," Sara says.

They both think their snow things are good. They decide to play together. They make a snowball and roll it to make it bigger. They make another snowball and roll it to make it bigger. They make a big snow hill and slide down it. They laugh and have fun.

Their mom comes out and sees them. She is happy.

"Look at you two!" she says. "You are having so much fun in the snow!"

She gives them hot chocolate and cookies. She kisses their sore spots and says they will heal soon. She tells them she loves them.

Sara and Ben are twins, but they are different. They like different things, but they also like each other. They are happy.
Sara and Lily were playing with dolls in the park. They liked to dress them up and make them talk. Sara had a pink doll and Lily had a blue doll.

"Hello, I am Princess Rose," Sara made her doll say. "I live in a big castle and I have many jewels and dresses."

"Hello, I am Princess Sky," Lily made her doll say. "I live in a cloud palace and I have many stars and rainbows."

They smiled and pretended their dolls were friends.

Then, a boy came to the park. He had a green dinosaur toy. He saw Sara and Lily and walked to them.

"Hi, I am Ben," he said. "Can I play with you?"

Sara and Lily looked at him. They did not know him.

"Sure, you can play with us," Lily said. "We are playing with dolls. What is your toy?"

"This is Rex, he is a dinosaur," Ben said. "He is very strong and brave. He can roar and bite."

He made his toy roar and bite the air.

Sara and Lily did not like that. They thought Rex was scary and loud.

"Rex, stop that," Sara said. "You are scaring our dolls. They are princesses, they do not like dinosaurs."

"Yeah, Rex, go away," Lily said. "You are not our friend. You are selfish. You only want to play with your toy."

Ben felt sad and angry. He did not want to be selfish. He wanted to be their friend. He wanted to play with them.

"But I like dolls too," he said. "I can introduce Rex to them. Maybe they can be friends. Rex is not scary, he is nice. He can share and help."

Sara and Lily did not listen. They turned away and hugged their dolls.

"Go away, Ben. Go away, Rex. We do not want to play with you," they said.

Ben felt very sad. He picked up Rex and walked away. He looked for another friend who would like his dinosaur.
Anna was playing with her dolls in her room. She liked to pretend they were her friends and talk to them. She gave them names and clothes and made up stories for them.

One day, she found a new doll in her closet. It was very pretty, with long hair and a pink dress. Anna was happy and took the doll to her bed. She said, "Hello, doll. What is your name? Do you want to play with me and my other dolls?"

The doll did not say anything. Anna thought maybe she was shy. She tried to make her smile and hug her. But the doll was cold and stiff. Anna felt something sharp in her hand. She looked and saw a needle sticking out of the doll's arm. It hurt her and made her cry.

"Ow, ow, ow! Why do you have a needle, doll? You are not nice! You are mean!" Anna shouted. She threw the doll on the floor and ran to her mom.

Mom heard Anna crying and came to her room. She saw the doll on the floor and the needle in her arm. She was angry and scared. She said, "Anna, where did you get this doll? This is not a toy. This is a dangerous thing. Someone put a needle in it to hurt you. You could get sick from it. You have to tell me who gave you this doll."

Anna sniffed and wiped her tears. She said, "I don't know, mom. I found it in my closet. It just appeared there. I thought it was a gift. I wanted to play with it. But it was empty. It had no voice, no heart, no love. It only had a needle. I don't like it. I'm sorry, mom."

Mom hugged Anna and said, "It's okay, sweetie. You are not in trouble. You did nothing wrong. I'm sorry you got hurt. I will take care of you and make you feel better. And I will find out who put this doll in your closet. It was a very bad thing to do. Don't worry, my love. I will protect you."
Tom and Mia liked to play at the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and splash in the water. One day, they saw a big rock with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside.

"Let's go and look," said Tom.

"OK, but be careful," said Mia.

They walked to the rock and peeked inside the hole. They saw something dark and slimy. It was an octopus. The octopus was grumpy. It did not like to be disturbed. It waved its long arms and made a loud noise.

"Wow, look at that!" said Tom.

"Let's get out of here!" said Mia.

But it was too late. The octopus grabbed Tom and Mia with its arms and pulled them inside the hole. They tried to escape, but they could not. The octopus was too strong and too angry. It squeezed them and bit them. Tom and Mia screamed and cried, but no one heard them. The octopus ate them for lunch. The end.
Sara loves to go to the zoo with her mom and dad. She likes to see all the different animals and hear the noises they make. Her favorite animal is the kangaroo. She thinks they are funny and cute, and she likes to watch them hop and play.

One day, Sara and her parents went to the zoo when it was very bright and sunny. Sara was happy and excited. She ran to the kangaroo enclosure and looked for her favorite kangaroo. She saw him sitting under a tree, with his big ears and long tail. He was holding a baby kangaroo in his pouch. Sara smiled and waved at him.

But the kangaroo did not wave back. He did not hop or play. He looked at Sara with a frown on his face. He looked sad and tired. Sara wondered why he was not happy. She asked her mom and dad.

Her mom and dad explained that the kangaroo was too hot. The bright sun was making him feel uncomfortable and thirsty. He needed some shade and water. They said that the zookeepers were trying to help him and the other kangaroos. They were bringing them some ice and fans and sprinklers.

Sara felt sorry for the kangaroo. She wanted him to feel better. She had an idea. She asked her mom and dad if she could give him something. They said yes, if it was safe and gentle. Sara looked around and saw a vendor selling balloons. She bought a balloon with a picture of a kangaroo on it. She thought it would make the kangaroo smile.

She walked back to the kangaroo enclosure and held the balloon high. She called the kangaroo's name. He looked up and saw the balloon. He tilted his head and blinked his eyes. He seemed curious and interested. He reached out his paw and touched the balloon gently. He felt the air and the string. He made a soft noise. He smiled.

Sara smiled too. She was happy that she made the kangaroo happy. She said goodbye to him and gave him the balloon. He held it in his pouch with his baby. He waved at Sara with his other paw. Sara waved back. She felt proud and warm. She hugged her mom and dad and thanked them for taking her to the zoo. They hugged her back and told her they loved her. They had a wonderful day.
Sara liked to play with her blocks. She had many blocks of different colors and shapes. She could build towers, bridges, houses and more. Sometimes, she liked to make a maze with her blocks. A maze was a path with many turns and walls. She would put a toy animal or a car at the end of the maze and try to find it.

One day, Sara made a very big and complicated maze with her blocks. She used all the colors and shapes she had. She put a shiny ball at the end of the maze. The ball was very attractive. It sparkled and bounced when she touched it. She was very proud of her maze and wanted to show it to her mom.

She called her mom and said, "Mom, come and see my maze! It is very good and has a pretty ball!" Her mom came and saw the maze. She was very impressed by Sara's display. She said, "Wow, Sara, you are very clever and creative! Your maze is amazing and your ball is beautiful! Can I try to find the ball?" Sara nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, mom, you can try. But it is not easy. You have to follow the path and not get lost." Her mom agreed and started to look for the ball.

Sara watched her mom as she moved through the maze. She cheered her on and gave her hints. She said, "Go left, go right, go straight, go back!" Her mom listened and followed her directions. She had fun and enjoyed the challenge. After a while, she reached the end of the maze and found the ball. She picked it up and said, "Yay, I did it! I found the ball! Thank you, Sara, for making this wonderful maze and sharing it with me!" She hugged Sara and gave her the ball. Sara hugged her back and said, "You are welcome, mom. I love you and I love my maze!" They both laughed and played with the ball and the blocks. They had a great time together.
Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play with shapes. They had a big box of shapes in different colors and sizes. They could make houses, cars, animals, and anything they wanted with the shapes.

One day, they decided to go to the store with their mom. They wanted to buy some new shapes to add to their box. They saw a lot of shapes at the store. Some were shiny, some were fuzzy, some were noisy, and some were funny. They wanted to buy them all.

But their mom said, "You can only choose one shape each. We have to be humble and not greedy. There are other children who want shapes too."

Lila and Ben thought hard. They looked at all the shapes and tried to pick their favorite. Lila liked a pink star that sparkled. Ben liked a blue truck that honked. They showed their mom their choices.

"Those are very nice shapes," their mom said. "But do you think they will fit in your box? Your box is already very full. Maybe you should choose smaller shapes that won't take up too much space."

Lila and Ben looked at their box. It was true. It was very full. They did not want to make their box too heavy or messy. They decided to put back the star and the truck. They looked for smaller shapes that they liked.

Lila found a yellow circle that smiled. Ben found a green triangle that squeaked. They showed their mom their new choices.

"Those are perfect shapes," their mom said. "They are small, but they are also fun and cute. They will fit in your box and make you happy. You are very humble and smart children. I am proud of you."

Lila and Ben smiled. They thanked their mom and paid for their shapes. They went home and added them to their box. They played with their shapes and had a lot of fun. They were happy with their humble shapes.
Lily liked to go to the farm with her dad. She liked to see the animals and feed them. She liked the cow best. The cow was big and brown and had soft eyes. The cow gave Lily milk and let her pet her.

One day, Lily and her dad went to the farm, but the cow was not there. Lily asked her dad, "Where is the cow?" Her dad said, "The cow is sick. She had to go to the vet. She will come back soon." Lily felt sad. She wanted to see the cow and give her a hug.

Lily and her dad saw the other animals. They saw the pig, the sheep, the horse, and the chicken. But Lily did not like them as much as the cow. The pig was dirty and smelly. The sheep was noisy and woolly. The horse was scary and fast. The chicken was ugly and mean. Lily missed the cow.

Lily and her dad went home. Lily hoped the cow would get better soon. She drew a picture of the cow and put it on her wall. She said, "I love you, cow. Please come back." She prayed for the cow every night.

The next week, Lily and her dad went to the farm again. Lily was happy to see the cow. The cow was healthy and happy. She mooed and licked Lily's face. Lily hugged the cow and said, "I missed you, cow. You are my best friend." The cow gave Lily milk and let her pet her. Lily and the cow were happy.

Ben misses Anna. He wants to make her happy. He asks his mom if he can visit Anna. His mom says yes, but they have to wear masks and gloves. They also have to be quiet and gentle.

They go to Anna's house. They knock on the door. Anna's mom opens the door. She looks pale and tired. She says hello and lets them in. She takes them to Anna's room.

Anna is lying in bed. She has a red nose and a cough. She sees Ben and smiles. She says, "Hi, Ben. I'm happy to see you."

Ben says, "Hi, Anna. I'm sorry you're sick. I brought you a gift." He gives her a teddy bear. It is soft and brown. It has a bow on its neck.

Anna hugs the teddy bear. She says, "Thank you, Ben. It's very nice. I love it."

Ben says, "You're welcome, Anna. I hope you get better soon. I miss playing with you."

Anna says, "I miss playing with you too. Maybe we can play tomorrow if I feel better."

Ben says, "That would be great. I have to go now. Bye, Anna."

Anna says, "Bye, Ben. Thank you for your visit. You're a good friend."

Ben and his mom leave. Anna's mom says, "That was very sweet of Ben. He made you happy, didn't he?"

Anna says, "Yes, he did. He's the best friend ever." She cuddles with her teddy bear and falls asleep.
Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play at the park. They see a big swing. They want to try it.

"Can I go first?" Tom asks. He is bigger than Lily. He has more muscle.

"OK, but be careful. The swing is very high," Lily says. She is smaller than Tom. She has a fancy dress.

Tom runs to the swing. He holds the rope. He pushes with his legs. He goes up and down. He feels happy.

"Wow, you are so good!" Lily says. She claps her hands.

"Thank you. Do you want to try?" Tom says. He stops the swing. He jumps off.

"Yes, please. But can you help me?" Lily says. She walks to the swing. She is a little scared.

"Sure. I will hold the rope. You sit on the seat. I will push you gently," Tom says. He is a good friend.

Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a big cat on the fence. The cat was black and had yellow eyes. It looked at them and made a loud noise.

"Meow!" the cat said.

"Let's scare the cat!" Tom said. He picked up a stick and ran towards the fence.

"No, don't do that!" Lily said. She was afraid of the cat. She thought the cat might scratch or bite them.

But Tom did not listen. He threw the stick at the cat. The cat was alert. It saw the stick and jumped off the fence. It landed on Tom's head and dug its claws into his hair.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom cried. He dropped the stick and tried to shake the cat off.

Lily ran to help him. She grabbed the cat by the tail and pulled it away. The cat hissed and ran away.

"Are you okay, Tom?" Lily asked.

Tom nodded. He had some scratches on his head and his hair was messy. He felt sorry for what he did.

"I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I should not have scared the cat. The cat scared me instead." He said.

Lily hugged him. She was glad he was not hurt badly.

"It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But next time, be nice to the cat. Maybe the cat will be nice to you too." She said.

They went back to playing in the garden. They did not scare the cat anymore. They learned their lesson.
Lila loves to polish her shoes. She likes to make them shiny and clean. She has a special cloth and a small bottle of polish. She sits on the floor and rubs the cloth on her shoes.

She runs to the door and opens it. She sees a man in a yellow suit and a helmet. He is a firefighter. He is holding a big hose. He is spraying water on a house. The house is on fire. Lila sees smoke and flames. She feels scared.

"Hello, little girl," the firefighter says. "Are you OK? Do you live here?"

Lila shakes her head. She lives in the next house. She points to her house. "I live there," she says.

The firefighter smiles. "That's good. Your house is safe. Don't worry. We are here to help. We are heroes. We put out fires and save people."

Lila nods. She thinks the firefighter is a hero. She likes him. She wants to be like him. She has an idea. She runs back to her house and grabs her bottle of polish and her cloth. She comes back to the firefighter.

"Here," she says. "I want to help. I can polish your helmet. It is dirty. I can make it shiny and clean."

The firefighter laughs. He bends down and takes off his helmet. He gives it to Lila. "Thank you, little girl," he says. "That is very kind of you. You are a helper. You are a hero too."

Lila smiles. She takes the helmet and rubs the cloth on it. She polishes it until it sparkles. She feels happy. She thinks polishing is fun. She thinks heroes are interesting. She thinks fire trucks are cool. She thinks this is the best day ever.
Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and hang on the swings. One day, they saw a new girl sitting on a bench. She looked sad and lonely.

"Hi, what is your name?" Lily asked her.

"I'm Mia. I just moved here. I don't have any friends," Mia said.

"Do you want to play with us?" Ben offered.

Mia nodded and smiled. They took her to the swings and showed her how to hang and go high. They had a lot of fun.

But then, a mean boy came and pushed Mia off the swing. He said, "This is my swing. Go away, you are not welcome here."

Mia fell and hurt her knee. She started to cry. Lily and Ben were angry and scared.

"That's not nice. You are a bully. Mia is our friend. You have to say sorry and share," Lily said.

The mean boy laughed and said, "No, I don't. I can do what I want. You are all silly and weak. You have no value."

Lily and Ben did not know what value meant, but they knew it was a bad word. They felt hurt and confused.

But then, a big girl came and stood in front of them. She was Mia's sister. She was compassionate and brave.

She said, "Hey, you. Leave them alone. They are good and kind. They have value. You are the one who is silly and weak. You have no manners and no friends. You should be ashamed of yourself."

The mean boy was surprised and scared. He ran away and did not come back. Mia's sister helped Mia up and hugged her. She said, "Are you okay, Mia? I'm sorry I was late. I was looking for you. These are your friends?"

Mia nodded and said, "Yes, this is Lily and Ben. They are very nice. They invited me to play and hang with them. They are my friends."

Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Hi, we are happy to meet you. You are very nice too. You are Mia's sister."

Mia's sister said, "Yes, I am. My name is Anna. Thank you for being compassionate and friendly to Mia. She is new here and needs friends. Do you want to play with us?"

"Wow, look at the horse!" Lily says. "Can we pet it?"

Tom nods. They walk to the horse. The horse is eating oats from a bucket. The oats are small and yellow.

"Hello, horse," Tom says. "Can we touch you?"

The horse looks at Tom and Lily. It makes a noise. It sounds like "neigh".

"What does that mean?" Lily asks.

Tom thinks. He remembers what his dad told him. "It means the horse is happy," he replies. "He likes oats. They are his food."

Lily smiles. She reaches out her hand. She touches the horse's nose. The horse's nose is soft and wet.

"Hi, horse," Lily says. "You are nice. Do you want more oats?"

The horse makes another noise. It sounds like "snort".

"What does that mean?" Tom asks.

Lily thinks. She remembers what her mom told her. "It means the horse is full," she replies. "He ate enough oats. He is not hungry."

Tom nods. He touches the horse's mane. The horse's mane is long and smooth.

"Bye, horse," Tom says. "You are big. We like you."

The horse looks at Tom and Lily. It makes a noise. It sounds like "whinny".

"What does that mean?" Lily and Tom ask together.

They think. They do not know what it means. But they guess. "It means the horse likes us too," they reply. "He is our friend."

Ben and Mia love to play in the water. They have a big pool in their backyard. They also have many toys that they can use in the pool. One of their favorite toys is a spray bottle. They like to spray each other and make funny noises.

One day, they decided to pretend that they were in the ocean. They put on their goggles and snorkels and dived into the pool. They saw many fish and plants and rocks. They also saw a big octopus. The octopus was cool. It had eight arms and many suckers. It could change its color and squirt ink.

"Hello, octopus!" Ben said. "Do you want to play with us?"

The octopus nodded. It was friendly. It took the spray bottle from Ben and sprayed him with water. Ben laughed. He sprayed the octopus back. The octopus changed its color to match the water.

"Wow, you are so smart!" Mia said. "Can you show us more tricks?"

The octopus nodded again. It squirted ink and made a cloud. Then it swam out of the cloud and surprised Mia. Mia giggled. She sprayed the octopus with water. The octopus changed its color to match Mia's swimsuit.

They played for a long time. They had so much fun. They became friends with the octopus. They gave it a name. They called it Ollie. Ollie was the coolest octopus ever.
Lily and Ben were playing in the bathroom. They saw a big bottle of lotion on the shelf. Lily wanted to try it. She took the bottle and opened it.

"Look, Ben, it is white and soft. Let me put some on your face," she said.

"No, Lily, no. That is not for playing. That is for mommy. Put it back," Ben said.

But Lily did not listen. She squeezed the bottle hard. Lotion came out fast and flew everywhere. It landed on the mirror, the sink, the floor, and the towels. It made a big mess.

"Uh-oh, Lily, you destroyed the lotion. Mommy will be angry. We have to clean it up," Ben said.

But Lily was not sorry. She laughed and said, "It is fun, Ben. Let's make more lotion. It is like snow."

She squeezed the bottle again. But nothing came out. The bottle was empty. She threw it on the ground.

"Look, Ben, the bottle is weak. It is broken. Let's find another one," she said.

She ran to the cabinet and opened it. She saw more bottles and jars. She grabbed one and opened it. It was mommy's perfume. She sprayed it in the air.

"Wow, Lily, that smells bad. Stop it. Stop it. You are making me sneeze," Ben said.

He covered his nose and ran out of the bathroom. He hoped mommy would not come soon. He did not want to get in trouble. He wished Lily would stop destroying things. He wished she would listen to him. He wished she would be a good sister.
Lily and Tom were playing with their dog Spot in the park. They threw a stick and Spot ran to get it. They laughed and clapped when Spot brought the stick back. They loved Spot very much.

But then a big man came and shouted at them. He said that dogs were not allowed in the park. He said that Spot was a bad dog and he had to go away. He grabbed Spot by the collar and dragged him to his car.

Lily and Tom were scared and sad. They ran after the man and tried to stop him. They cried and begged him to let Spot go. They said that Spot was a good dog and they were his friends.

The man did not listen. He pushed Lily and Tom away and threw Spot in the back of his car. He slammed the door and drove away very fast. He did not care about Lily and Tom or Spot.

Lily and Tom fell on the ground and watched the car disappear. They hugged each other and sobbed. They did not know where the man was taking Spot or if they would ever see him again. They felt very alone and helpless.

They looked at the stick that Spot had dropped. It was red with blood. Spot had hurt his heel when the man dragged him. Lily and Tom frowned and wished they could help Spot. They wished they could have their dog back. They wished the man had never come. They wished the park was a happy place again.
Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play at the beach. One day, Sara sees a big white surf. She wants to ride it. She tells Ben.

"Look, Ben! A big white surf! Let's ride it!"

Ben is scared. He does not like big white surfs. He likes small blue surfs. He tells Sara.

"No, Sara! The big white surf is too big and too fast. It can hurt us. Let's ride the small blue surf!"

Sara is sad. She does not want to ride the small blue surf. She wants to ride the big white surf. She thinks Ben is a baby. She tells Ben.

"Ben, you are a baby. You are scared of everything. I am not a baby. I am brave. I will ride the big white surf by myself. Bye, Ben!"

Sara runs to the big white surf. She does not see a man with a board. The man is also riding the big white surf. He is very good. He sees Sara. He is worried. He shouts to Sara.

"Hey, little girl! Stop! The big white surf is not for you! It is dangerous! Come back!"

But Sara does not hear him. She is too far. She jumps into the big white surf. The big white surf is too big and too fast for Sara. It pushes her down. She cannot breathe. She is scared. She cries for help.

The man with the board hears Sara. He is very fast. He rides the big white surf to Sara. He grabs Sara. He puts her on his board. He rides the big white surf to the shore. He is very strong. He saves Sara.

Sara is wet and cold and scared. She is sorry. She thanks the man. The man is kind. He smiles. He introduces himself.

"Hi, little girl. I am Tom. I am a surf teacher. Are you OK?"

Sara nods. She introduces herself.

"Hi, Tom. I am Sara. I am sorry. I was silly. I wanted to ride the big white surf. But it was too big and too fast for me. Thank you for saving me."

Tom hugs Sara. He tells her.

"You are welcome, Sara. I am glad you are OK. But you should not ride the big white surf alone. It is not for little girls. It is for big people who know how to surf. Do you want to learn how to surf?"

Sara nods. She wants to learn how to surf. She tells Tom.

"Yes, Tom. I want to learn how to surf. But not the big white surf. The small blue surf. Can you teach me?"

Tom nods. He can teach Sara. He tells Sara.

"Yes, Sara. I can teach you how to surf. But first, you have to say sorry to your friend. He was worried about you. He is a good friend. He likes the small blue surf. Maybe he wants to learn how to surf too."

Sara nods. She has to say sorry to Ben. He is a good friend. She likes the small blue surf too. Maybe he wants to learn how to surf too. She tells Tom.

"OK, Tom. I will say sorry to Ben. He is a good friend. I like the small blue surf too. Maybe he wants to learn how to surf too. Can we go now?"

Tom nods. He can go now. He tells Sara.

"OK, Sara. We can go now. Come on, let's go. I have a board for you and a board for Ben. Let's go and have fun. Let's go and surf the small blue surf."

"Hello, kids," a lady says. She is sitting by the table. "Do you want to see what I have?"

"Yes, please," Anna and Ben say.

Tom was a boy who liked to play outside. He had a big ball that was green. He liked to kick the ball and run after it. He also liked to see his shadow on the ground. His shadow was like a friend who followed him everywhere.

One day, Tom saw a new shadow on the wall. It was not his shadow. It was bigger and darker. It looked like a monster. Tom was scared. He wanted to run away, but the shadow moved with him. He did not know what to do.

He remembered that his mom told him to call her if he needed help. He shouted, "Mom, mom, there is a monster shadow on the wall!" His mom heard him and came outside. She saw the shadow and smiled. She said, "Tom, that is not a monster shadow. That is your dad's shadow. He is working on the roof. He is fixing a hole. He is not a monster. He is a hero."

Tom looked up and saw his dad waving at him. He felt silly and happy. He said, "Hi, dad. I like your shadow. It is big and strong. Can I help you fix the hole?" His dad said, "Sure, Tom. Come here and I will show you." He lifted Tom up and put him on the roof. Tom saw the hole and the tools. He learned how to fix the hole with his dad.

Tom learned that shadows are not scary. They are just shapes made by the sun and the things. He also learned that his dad was not a monster. He was a hero who helped the family. He was proud of his dad and himself. He had fun playing with his ball, his shadow, and his dad.

The moral value of the story is: don't judge by appearances, ask for help when you are afraid, and learn from your parents.

The narrative uses foreshadowing or setup and payoff by: introducing the green ball as Tom's favorite toy, which contrasts with the dark shadow that scares him; mentioning that his mom told him to call her if he needed help, which he does when he sees the shadow; and revealing that the shadow is his dad's, who is working on the roof, which explains the hole and the tools.
Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. Sara was very flexible. She could bend her body in many ways. She could touch her toes with her nose. She could twist her arms like a snake. She could make funny shapes with her legs.

"Look at me, Ben!" Sara said. "I can name all my toes!" She lifted her foot and pointed at each toe. "This is big toe, this is next toe, this is middle toe, this is ring toe and this is little toe. Can you do that?"

Ben tried to lift his foot, but he was not as flexible as Sara. He could not reach his toes with his fingers. He could not bend his knee very much. He felt a little sad.

"I can't do that, Sara," Ben said. "My toes are too far. My leg is too stiff. You are so good at this."

Sara smiled at Ben. She wanted to make him happy. She had an idea.

"Ben, you can do something else," Sara said. "You can name something else. Something that is close to you. Something that is fun. Something that is red."

Ben looked around. He saw something that was close to him. Something that was fun. Something that was red. It was his hat. He liked his hat very much. He wore it every day.

"I can name my hat!" Ben said. He took off his hat and held it in his hands. He looked at Sara and said, "This is my hat. It has a star on it. It keeps my head warm. It is my favorite hat. Do you like my hat?"

Sara nodded. She liked Ben's hat. She liked Ben. She was glad he was happy.

"I like your hat, Ben," Sara said. "It is a nice hat. It is a good name. You are good at this."

Ben smiled at Sara. He put his hat back on his head. He felt a little proud.

"Thank you, Sara," Ben said. "You are a good friend. You are very flexible. You can name your toes. I can name my hat. We can both name things. We can both have fun."

Sara and Ben hugged each other. They were happy. They went back to playing in the park. They swung, slid and ran. They named more things. They had a lot of fun.
Tom and Lily wanted to play with the cart. They liked to push it around and fill it with toys. But they did not have a lot of space in their room. They wanted to find a bigger place to play.

They saw a big door in the hall. It said "Do not enter". They did not know what that meant. They thought it was a secret room. They opened the door and went inside. They saw a lot of big things. They saw a table, a chair, a lamp, and a ruler. They saw a sign that said "Measure". They did not know what that meant either.

They decided to use the ruler to measure the things. They thought it was fun. They measured the table, the chair, the lamp, and the cart. They wrote the numbers on a paper. They did not know what the numbers meant. They just liked to draw them.

But they did not see the man who was working in the room. He was very busy. He was making a plan for a new building. He needed the table, the chair, the lamp, and the ruler. He needed the numbers on the paper. He did not like anyone to touch his things.

He heard the noise and came out of his office. He saw Tom and Lily with his things. He was very upset. He yelled at them. He took the paper and the ruler. He told them to get out of his room. He told them they were bad and they ruined his work.

Tom and Lily were scared and sad. They ran out of the room. They left the cart behind. They did not want to play with it anymore. They cried and hugged each other. They wished they never opened the door. They wished they never measured the things. They wished they never saw the man. They wished they stayed in their room.
Tom and Mia are pupils in the same class. They like to play with the toys in the corner. One day, they find a box of cards with pictures on them. Tom says, "Let's play a game. We have to match the cards that have the same picture."

Mia nods and they start to turn over the cards. They find a card with a cat and a card with a dog. They do not match. They find a card with a flower and a card with a tree. They do not match. They find a card with a ball and a card with a ball. They match!

"Yay, we found a match!" Tom says. He puts the cards in a pile. Mia smiles and turns over another card. It has a star on it. She looks for the card with a star.

But then, Ben comes over. He is a spoiled boy who does not like to share. He sees the cards and grabs them. He says, "These are mine. Go away!"

Tom and Mia are sad and angry. They say, "No, they are not yours. They are ours. We were playing with them. Give them back!"

Ben does not listen. He runs away with the cards. He drops some of them on the floor. Tom and Mia chase him. They want their cards back. They do not like Ben. He is not a good pupil. He is not a good friend.
One day, a small cat saw a big dog outside the window. The cat wanted to play with the dog, but the dog did not like cats. The dog barked and ran towards the window. The cat was scared and ran away.

The cat looked for a place to hide. He saw an exit sign on the door. He thought that exit meant a safe place. He ran to the door and pushed it open. But he did not know that the door led to the street.

The street was loud and busy. There were many cars and people and noises. The cat did not like the street. He wanted to go back to the window. He tried to cross the road, but it was too dangerous. He saw a big truck coming fast. He did not know what to do.

Then, he saw a pile of leaves on the sidewalk. He had an idea. He ran to the leaves and jumped into them. He hoped that the truck would not see him. He buried himself in the leaves and waited.

The truck passed by and did not hit the cat. The cat was happy and relieved. He peeked out of the leaves and saw that the dog was gone. He decided to go back to the window. He scattered the leaves and ran to the door. He opened the door and went inside. He found the window and jumped on the sill. He looked outside and saw the sun and the sky and the birds. He felt safe and warm. He curled up and took a nap. He dreamed of playing with the dog.
Tim and Kim are twins who like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with a cone on top. The truck is making ice cream for the children. Tim and Kim run to the truck and ask for ice cream.

"Please, can we have ice cream?" they say.

"Sure, you can have ice cream," the man in the truck says. "But you have to share one cone, because I only have one left."

Tim and Kim nod and take the cone. The man puts a lot of ice cream on the cone. It is very high and looks yummy.

"Thank you, mister!" they say.

Tim and Kim walk away with the cone. They are happy and hungry. But they have a problem. How can they share the cone?

"I want the first bite," Tim says.

"No, I want the first bite," Kim says.

They start to pull the cone from each other. They pull and pull and pull. The cone is very wide and strong. But the ice cream is not. The ice cream starts to stretch and stretch and stretch. Then it breaks and falls on the ground.

"Oh no!" Tim and Kim say.

They look at the cone. It is empty and sad. They look at the ice cream. It is dirty and melted. They look at each other. They are sorry and sad.

They go back to the truck and give the cone to the man.

"We are sorry, mister," they say. "We were greedy and we wasted the ice cream."

The man in the truck is kind and wise. He smiles and says, "It's okay, children. You made a mistake, but you learned a lesson. Next time, you should share and be fair. Then you will enjoy the ice cream more."

Tim and Kim nod and say, "Thank you, mister. We will remember that."

They hug each other and go to play in the park. They are happy and wise. They have learned to share and be fair.
Lily liked music. She liked to sing and dance and play with her toy piano. She wanted to show her music to her friends at school. She put her piano in her bag and went to the bus.

At school, Lily saw Ben and Mia. They were her best friends. She said, "Hi, Ben and Mia. Do you want to hear my music? I have a piano in my bag."

Ben and Mia nodded. They liked music too. They followed Lily to a corner of the playground. Lily opened her bag and took out her piano. She put it on the ground and pressed the keys. The piano made sounds. Lily smiled and sang along.

But then, Sam came. Sam was a big boy. He was mean. He saw Lily's piano and said, "What is that? That is not music. That is noise. Give me that piano. I want to play with it."

Lily was scared. She said, "No, Sam. This is my piano. I brought it from home. It is my music. You cannot have it."

Sam did not listen. He grabbed the piano and pulled it away from Lily. Lily cried. She tried to get her piano back, but Sam was stronger. He pushed Lily and ran away with the piano.

Ben and Mia saw what happened. They were angry. They said, "That is not fair. Sam is bad. He took Lily's music. We have to help Lily. We have to get her piano back."

They ran after Sam. They caught up with him near the slide. They said, "Sam, give back Lily's piano. You took it without asking. That is wrong. Lily is sad. She wants her music."

Sam laughed. He said, "No, I will not give it back. This is my piano now. I like it. It makes funny sounds. Go away. Leave me alone."

Ben and Mia did not go away. They said, "No, we will not leave you alone. You have to share. Sharing is good. If you share, we can all play with the piano. We can all make music. We can all be happy."

Sam thought for a moment. He liked to be happy. He did not like to be alone. He said, "OK, fine. I will share. But only for a little while. Then I want the piano back."

Ben and Mia said, "OK, deal. But you have to say sorry to Lily. You hurt her feelings. You have to be nice to her."

Sam nodded. He said, "OK, OK. I will say sorry. I will be nice. Come on, let's go to Lily."

They went to Lily. She was still crying. She saw Sam with her piano. She said, "Sam, why did you take my piano? That was mean. That was my music. I love my music."

Sam said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I should not have taken your piano. I should have asked you first. Can I play with your piano for a little while? I will give it back to you soon. I promise."

Lily looked at Sam. She saw that he was sorry. She said, "OK, Sam. You can play with my piano for a little while. But you have to be careful. Don't break it. Don't make it dirty. And you have to share with Ben and Mia. They are my friends. They like music too."

Sam said, "OK, Lily. I will be careful. I will not break it. I will not make it dirty. And I will share with Ben and Mia. They are your friends. They can be my friends too."

Lily smiled. She said, "OK, Sam. Thank you. You are nice. You can be my friend too."

They all sat down on the ground. They played with the piano. They made sounds. They sang songs. They had fun. They were happy. They felt warm. They liked music. Music was good. Music was their supply.
Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play in the park with their family. One day, they saw a big slide. It was very high and scary.

"Let's go on the slide!" said Ben. He was brave and liked to try new things.

"No, it's too high!" said Lily. She was careful and liked to be safe.

"Come on, Lily, don't be stupid!" said Ben. He wanted to have fun with his sister.

"I'm not stupid, you're stupid!" said Lily. She was angry and hurt by her brother's words.

"I dare you to go on the slide!" said Ben. He thought that would make Lily change her mind.

Lily looked at the slide. She was scared, but she didn't want to let Ben win. She wanted to show him that she was not stupid.

"Fine, I'll go on the slide!" said Lily. She walked to the ladder and climbed up.

Ben followed her. He was proud and happy that his sister was going on the slide.

They reached the top of the slide. They looked down. It was very high and scary.

Lily felt her heart beat fast. She wanted to go back, but she didn't want to look stupid.

Ben felt his stomach turn. He wanted to go back, but he didn't want to look stupid.

They looked at each other. They saw fear and regret in their eyes.

They wished they had not dared each other.

They wished they had listened to their family.

They wished they had been kind to each other.

They held hands and slid down.

They screamed and cried.

They learned their lesson.
Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play near the mill. The mill was a big house with a wheel that turned the water. Sometimes they saw the miller make flour from the wheat. They thought he was very helpful.

One day, they saw a big dog near the mill. The dog was barking and growling. It looked angry and hungry. Lily and Tom were scared. They ran behind a tree and hid.

"Who are you?" the dog asked. "Why are you here?"

"We are Lily and Tom," Lily said. "We are friends. We like to play near the mill."

"The mill is mine," the dog said. "You are not welcome here. Go away or I will bite you."

Lily and Tom did not want to go away. They liked the mill. They wanted to see the miller and the flour. They wanted to be helpful too.

"Please, don't bite us," Tom said. "We are not bad. We are good. We can help you."

"Help me?" the dog said. "How can you help me?"

"We can protect you," Lily said. "We can be your friends. We can play with you and share our food with you. We can make you happy."

The dog was surprised. He had never had friends before. He had never had food or play or happiness. He was lonely and sad.

"Really?" he said. "You can do that for me?"

"Yes, we can," Lily and Tom said. "We are nice. We are kind."

The dog thought for a moment. He decided to give them a chance. He stopped barking and growling. He wagged his tail.

"Okay," he said. "You can stay. You can be my friends. You can help me protect the mill. But you have to be careful. The miller does not like dogs. He might chase us away."

Lily and Tom nodded. They were happy. They had a new friend. They had a new place to play. They had a new way to be helpful. They hugged the dog and thanked him. Then they went to see the miller and the flour. They hoped he would be nice too.
Jenny and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. They saw a big red apple on a tree. They wanted to eat it. It looked delicious.

"Let's get the apple!" Jenny said. "I can climb the tree and pick it for us."

"Be careful, Jenny!" Ben said. "The tree is very high and the branches are thin. You might fall and hurt yourself."

Jenny was not afraid. She was brave and strong. She climbed the tree and reached for the apple. She grabbed it with her hand. She smiled and said, "I got it, Ben! I got the apple!"

But then, something bad happened. Jenny's foot slipped on the branch. She lost her balance and fell. She screamed and dropped the apple. Ben saw her falling and ran to catch her.

"Jenny, Jenny, are you okay?" Ben asked. He hugged her and checked her for injuries. Jenny was crying. She had a big bump on her head and a scratch on her arm. She was in pain.

"I'm sorry, Ben. I was not patient. I wanted the apple too much. I was silly and careless." Jenny said.

"It's okay, Jenny. I'm glad you are not badly hurt. You are my best friend. I love you." Ben said.

He picked up the apple from the ground. It was still whole and shiny. He wiped it with his shirt and gave it to Jenny.

"Here, Jenny. You can have the apple. You deserve it. You were brave and strong. You climbed the tree and got the apple. You are amazing." Ben said.

Jenny smiled and took the apple. She bit into it and tasted its sweetness. It was delicious. She shared it with Ben. They ate the apple together and felt better.

"Thank you, Ben. You are my best friend. I love you." Jenny said.

They hugged and kissed. They were happy. They learned a lesson. They decided to be more careful and patient next time. They played in the garden until it was time to go home.
Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play near the old mill. The mill was big and had a wheel that turned with the water. Sometimes they saw ducks and fish in the water. They liked to throw stones and watch the ripples.

One day, they saw a man coming out of the mill. He looked angry and had a stick in his hand. He shouted at them, "Go away, you little brats! This is my mill and you are not welcome here! Shut your mouths and leave!"

Lila and Tom were scared and ran away. They hid behind a tree and looked at the man. He slammed the door of the mill and locked it with a key. He put the key in his pocket and walked away.

"Who is he?" Lila whispered.

"I don't know," Tom whispered back. "Maybe he is the miller. Maybe he makes flour in the mill."

"Why is he so mean?" Lila asked.

"Maybe he doesn't like children. Maybe he doesn't like anyone," Tom said.

Lila and Tom felt sad and angry. They wanted to play near the mill, but they didn't want to make the man mad. They decided to go to another place where they could have fun.

"Let's go to the park," Lila said.

"OK," Tom said. "Maybe we can find some swings and slides there."

They held hands and walked away from the mill. They hoped the man would not come back and bother them again. They hoped the ducks and fish would be happy in the water. They hoped the mill would not be lonely.
Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park, draw pictures, and read books. One day, they found a big box under a tree. It was shiny and had a lock on it.

"Wow, what is this?" Lily asked.

"Maybe it is a treasure!" Max said.

They tried to open the box, but it was too hard. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They wondered what was inside the box. Maybe it was toys, or candy, or books.

They were very nosy. They wanted to see the treasure.

But then, they heard a voice. It was Lily's mom.

"Lily, Max, it is time to go home. It is getting dark and you need to sleep."

Lily and Max were sad. They did not want to leave the box. They wanted to see the treasure.

"Can we come back tomorrow?" Lily asked.

"Maybe, but you have to promise me something," Lily's mom said.

"What is it?" Max asked.

"You have to promise me that you will not touch the box. It is not yours. It belongs to someone else. Maybe they will come back for it. You have to respect their things."

Lily and Max nodded. They did not want to be bad. They wanted to be good.

"Okay, we promise," they said.

They said goodbye to the box and followed Lily's mom. They went home and had dinner. They brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. They got into their beds and closed their eyes.

They dreamed of the box and the treasure. They wondered what was inside. They hoped they would find out tomorrow.
Ben and Mia are on a boat with Mom and Dad. They are going to an island for a picnic. Ben and Mia like the boat. It is big and fast and has a horn. They see the water and the sky and the birds.

"Look, there is the island!" Mom says. She points to a green place with trees and sand. "We will be there soon. Are you hungry?"

"Yes, Mom, I am hungry," Mia says. "Can I have a sandwich and a juice?"

"Me too, me too," Ben says. "And a cookie, please."

"Okay, you can have a sandwich and a juice and a cookie," Mom says. "But first, we have to close the boat. Can you help me?"

Ben and Mia nod. They follow Mom to the front of the boat. Mom shows them how to close the boat. They have to pull a rope and tie a knot. They have to fold a cloth and put it in a bag. They have to turn a key and make a click.

"Good job, Ben and Mia," Mom says. "You are very helpful. Now the boat is closed. We can go to the island."

They put on their hats and their sunscreen. They take their bags and their toys. They get off the boat and walk on the sand. They find a nice spot under a tree. They spread a blanket and sit down.

"Wow, this is a beautiful island," Dad says. "It is so quiet and peaceful. I can hear the waves and the birds."

"Me too, Dad, I can hear them," Mia says. "But I can also hear something else. Something loud. What is it?"

Ben and Mia listen. They hear a loud sound. It is like a roar. It is coming from the other side of the island.

"Let's go and see what it is," Ben says. He is curious and brave. He grabs his toy binoculars and runs to the other side of the island.

"Wait, Ben, wait for us," Mia says. She is curious too, but also a little scared. She grabs her toy camera and follows Ben.

"Be careful, Ben and Mia," Mom and Dad say. They also follow them, but not too fast. They want to let them explore.

Ben and Mia reach the other side of the island. They see a big rock with a hole. The loud sound is coming from the hole. It is like a dragon's breath.

"What is it, Ben, what is it?" Mia asks.

Ben looks through his binoculars. He sees something shiny and colorful. It is like a rainbow. It is coming out of the hole.

"It is a geyser, Mia, a geyser," Ben says. "It is water that is hot and goes up in the air. It is very cool. Look, I can see it better with my binoculars."

"Wow, Ben, wow," Mia says. She looks through her camera. She sees the geyser too. It is very pretty. She takes a picture of it.

"Look, Mom and Dad, look," Ben and Mia say. They show them the geyser. They show them their binoculars and their camera.

"That is amazing, Ben and Mia," Mom and Dad say. They are proud and happy. They hug them and kiss them. "You are very smart and adventurous. You found a geyser on the island. What a wonderful discovery."

They all watch the geyser for a while. They see it go up and down. They see it change colors. They hear it make loud sounds. They laugh and clap and cheer.

They have a lot of fun on the island. They have their picnic and their cookies. They play with their toys and their sand. They see more birds and more trees. They have a great day.

They go back to the boat. They open the boat and get on. They wave goodbye to the island and the geyser. They thank them for the adventure.

They go back home. They are tired and happy. They tell their friends and their grandparents about the island and the geyser. They show them their pictures and their binoculars. They say it was the best day ever.
Lily liked to hold her pink doll. She took it everywhere with her. She named it Rosie and talked to it all the time. She thought Rosie was the best doll in the world.

One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy playing with a blue truck. He looked happy and made noises like vroom and beep. Lily was curious and walked over to him.

"Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?" she asked.

"I'm Max. This is my truck. Do you want to play?" he said.

Lily nodded and smiled. She put Rosie on the bench and picked up the truck. She liked how it felt in her hands. She made noises like Max and they had fun.

But then, another girl came to the bench. She saw Rosie and grabbed her. She said, "This is my doll now. She's so pretty and pink. You don't need her. You have a truck."

Lily was shocked and angry. She ran to the bench and tried to get Rosie back. She said, "No, she's not yours. She's mine. Give her back. She's my friend."

The girl laughed and said, "She's not your friend. She's a doll. She can't talk or play. She's boring and different. You should like trucks. They're cool and fun."

Lily felt sad and hurt. She didn't understand why the girl was so mean. She looked at Max for help. Max saw what was happening and put down the truck. He walked to the bench and said, "Hey, that's not nice. You can't take someone else's toy. That's wrong. And you can't say mean things about dolls. They're not boring or different. They're just toys. And toys can be anything you want them to be. You can like dolls and trucks. They're both cool and fun."

He took Rosie from the girl and gave her back to Lily. He said, "Here, Lily. This is your doll. She's very pretty and pink. I'm sorry she took her. Do you want to play with us?"

Lily hugged Rosie and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Max. You're very kind and brave. I'm sorry she was mean to you too. Yes, I want to play with you. You're my friend."

The girl looked ashamed and sorry. She said, "I'm sorry too. I was wrong. I was jealous of your doll. She's very pretty and pink. Can I play with you too?"

Lily and Max nodded and smiled. They said, "Sure, you can play with us. We can share our toys. We can be friends."

They all played together with the doll and the truck. They learned that toys are not for boys or girls. They are for everyone. They learned that being different is not bad. It is good. They learned that being kind and sharing is better than being mean and taking. They learned that friends are the best.
Ben and Lily are friends. They like to draw with crayons. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They find a big rock. They want to draw on the rock with their crayons.

"Can we draw on the rock, mom?" Ben asks.

"Yes, but be careful. Don't hurt the rock or your crayons," mom says.

Ben and Lily nod. They pick their favorite crayons. Ben picks blue. Lily picks pink. They start to draw on the rock. They draw flowers and stars and hearts.

They are having fun. But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a big truck. The truck is noisy. It makes Ben and Lily scared. They drop their crayons. They run to their moms.

"Mom, mom, the truck is noisy!" Ben says.

"I know, honey. It's okay. The truck is just passing by. It will go away soon," mom says.

She hugs Ben. Lily's mom hugs Lily. They wait for the truck to go away.

When the truck is gone, Ben and Lily feel better. They go back to the rock. They pick up their crayons. They finish their drawing. They are happy. They show their moms their drawing.

"Wow, that's beautiful! You are very good at drawing with crayons," mom says.

"Thank you, mom. We like to draw with crayons," Ben and Lily say.

They smile. They nod. They are friends.
Lily and Ben were playing on the farm. They liked to pretend they were horses and run around the field. They saw a big pile of hay and decided to eat some.

"Yum, this hay is good," said Lily.

"Can I have some?" asked Ben.

"Sure, there is enough for both of us," said Lily.

They ate some hay and felt happy. But then they heard a loud neigh. It was Rex, the real horse. He was angry that they were eating his hay.

"Hey, get away from my hay!" he shouted. "This is mine, not yours!"

Lily and Ben were scared. They did not want to make Rex mad. They ran away from the hay and hid behind a fence.

"Sorry, Rex, we did not know it was your hay," said Lily.

"Yeah, sorry, Rex, we were just playing," said Ben.

Rex snorted and trotted over to the hay. He ate some and felt better. He looked at Lily and Ben and saw that they were still hiding.

"Come out, come out, don't be afraid," he said. "I'm not going to hurt you. You can play with me if you want."

Lily and Ben peeked out from behind the fence. They saw that Rex was smiling and wagging his tail.

"Really? You want to play with us?" asked Lily.

"Sure, why not? You seem like nice kids," said Rex.

"Wow, you are very impressive, Rex," said Ben. "You are so big and strong and fast."

"Thank you, Ben. You are very kind and brave and smart," said Rex.

Lily and Ben came out from behind the fence. They walked up to Rex and gave him a hug. Rex bent his head and gave them a bow.

"Let's be friends," he said.

"Let's be friends," they said.

They played together on the farm and had a lot of fun. They shared the hay and the field and the sun. They were happy.
Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing and run on the grass. They saw a man sitting on a bench with a big bag. He looked sad and lonely.

"Mom, can we say hello to him?" Lily asked.

"Sure, but be polite and careful," Mom said.

Tom and Lily walked to the man and smiled. "Hi, we are Tom and Lily. What is your name?" Tom said.

"Hello, I am Sam. You are very cheerful," Sam said.

"Why are you sad?" Lily asked.

"I lost my wallet. It had my money and my cards and my photos. I don't know where it is," Sam said.

"That is bad. We can help you look for it," Tom said.

"Really? That is very kind of you," Sam said.

They looked around the bench, the trash can, the fountain and the trees. They did not find the wallet.

"Maybe someone took it," Lily said.

"Who would do that?" Tom asked.

"Someone who is not nice and not honest," Sam said.

They saw a woman walking fast with a big bag. She looked nervous and scared. She dropped something from her bag. It was the wallet!

"Look, there is your wallet!" Lily shouted.

"Hey, stop! That is mine!" Sam yelled.

The woman ran away, but Tom and Lily chased her. They caught up with her and grabbed her bag.

"Give it back! Give it back!" Tom and Lily said.

"Let go! Let go!" the woman said.

Mom and Sam came and helped them. They removed the wallet from the woman's bag and gave it to Sam.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are amazing!" Sam said.

He opened his wallet and checked his money, his cards and his photos. They were all there.

"Here, take this. It is a reward for your help," Sam said.

He gave Tom and Lily some money and a candy.

"Wow, thank you! You are very generous," Tom and Lily said.

They hugged Sam and said goodbye. They went back to their mom and showed her their money and candy.

"You did a great job, kids. I am very proud of you. You were brave and helpful and honest," Mom said.

They smiled and ate their candy. They felt happy and proud. They had a great day in the park.
Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the spring. Spring is when the flowers grow and the birds sing. Anna and Ben have a big garden with a swing and a slide. They also have a pond with some fish and frogs.

One day, Anna and Ben decide to relax by the pond. They sit on a blanket and watch the water. They see the fish swim and the frogs jump. They hear the birds chirp and the wind blow. They feel the sun warm and the grass soft.

"Look, Ben, a dragonfly!" Anna says, pointing to a blue and green insect that flies over the pond.

"Wow, it's so pretty!" Ben says, admiring the dragonfly. "Do you think it likes the pond?"

"I think so. Maybe it has a family here. Maybe it likes to relax too." Anna says, smiling.

They watch the dragonfly for a while, then they lie down on the blanket and close their eyes. They relax and listen to the sounds of spring. They feel peaceful and happy. They love spring and they love each other.
Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their snacks. One day, they saw a big tree with a swing. Lily wanted to try the swing, but Ben was scared.

"Come on, Ben, it's fun!" Lily said. "I will support you. You can hold my hand."

Ben looked at the swing. It was made of a long rope and a wooden board. The rope was tied to a branch. Ben thought the tie looked weak. He was afraid the swing would break and he would fall.

"No, thank you, Lily. I don't like swings. They are too high and fast. I will watch you from here." Ben said. He sat on a bench and ate his apple.

Lily shrugged and ran to the swing. She climbed on the board and pushed herself with her feet. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughed and shouted, "Whee! This is delicious!"

Ben watched Lily swing. He saw her smile and heard her joy. He felt a little jealous. He wondered if the swing was really that delicious. He finished his apple and threw the core in the trash. He decided to be brave and join Lily.

He walked to the swing and said, "Lily, can I try the swing too? I changed my mind. I want to have fun with you."

Lily stopped the swing and jumped off. She smiled and said, "Of course, Ben. I'm glad you changed your mind. Here, you can have the swing. I will support you. You can hold my hand."

Ben nodded and climbed on the board. He held Lily's hand and felt her support. He pushed himself with his feet and felt the swing move. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He laughed and shouted, "Whee! This is delicious!"

Lily and Ben swung together. They were happy and proud. They learned that swings were not scary, but delicious. They learned that friends support each other. They learned that trying new things can be fun. They had a great day in the park.
Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a big train that could move on the floor. They liked to make the train go fast and slow, and make noises like "choo-choo" and "brake".

One day, they decided to make a bridge for the train. They used some books and pillows to make a high and long bridge. They put the train on the bridge and watched it go across. They were very happy and proud of their bridge.

But then, their big brother Tom came into the room. Tom was lazy and mean. He did not like to play with Lila and Ben. He liked to watch TV and eat snacks. He saw the bridge and the train and said, "What is this? This is silly. I want to watch TV here. Move your toys!"

Lila and Ben said, "No, Tom! This is our bridge and our train. We worked hard to make it. You can watch TV in another room. Go away!"

Tom did not listen. He walked to the bridge and lifted one end of it. He said, "Watch this!" He let go of the bridge and the train fell to the floor. It broke into pieces. Lila and Ben cried. They were very sad and angry.

Tom laughed. He said, "That was fun! Now I can watch TV." He turned on the TV and sat on the couch. He did not care about Lila and Ben.

But then, something happened. The TV made a loud noise and a spark. It stopped working. Tom was shocked. He tried to turn it on again, but it did not work. He smelled smoke. He said, "Oh no! What happened?"

Lila and Ben smiled. They said, "That was motion. Motion is when something moves. Sometimes, motion can make things break. Like your TV. And our train. You broke our train, so motion broke your TV. That is fair."

Tom was very sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lila and Ben. I was wrong. I should not have broken your bridge and your train. Can you forgive me? Can we fix them?"

Lila and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, Tom. We can forgive you. And we can fix them. But you have to help us. And you have to play with us. And you have to be nice."

Tom agreed. He said, "OK, Lila and Ben. I will help you. And I will play with you. And I will be nice. And maybe we can make a new bridge and a new train. And maybe we can watch TV later. Together."

Lila and Ben hugged Tom. They said, "We love you, Tom. You are our big brother. And we are your twins."

They all smiled. They lifted the books and the pillows and the train pieces. They started to make a new bridge and a new train. They had fun. They learned about motion. And they learned about love.
Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play outside near the river. The river was big and blue and had many fish and ducks. Tom and Sam had a boat made of wood and rope. They used sticks to row the boat on the water.

One day, they saw a fire on the other side of the river. The fire was red and orange and made a lot of smoke. Tom and Sam were curious and wanted to see the fire. They rowed their boat to the other side of the river.

When they got closer, they saw that the fire was burning a house. The house was big and had a lot of windows and doors. Tom and Sam heard people screaming and crying. They were scared and wanted to help.

"Look, there is a hose!" Tom said, pointing to a long green tube that was connected to a tap. "Maybe we can use it to put out the fire!"

"Good idea!" Sam said, nodding. They jumped out of their boat and ran to the hose. They turned on the tap and water came out of the hose. They aimed the hose at the fire and tried to spray the water on the flames.

But the fire was too big and too hot. The water did not reach the fire. Instead, the fire reached the hose. The hose was made of rubber and rubber can burn. The hose caught fire and started to melt. The water stopped coming out of the hose.

"Uh-oh!" Tom and Sam said at the same time. They dropped the hose and ran back to their boat. But their boat was also made of wood and wood can burn. The fire had spread to their boat and was burning it too.

"Uh-oh!" Tom and Sam said again. They looked around and saw that they were trapped by the fire. They could not go back to the other side of the river. They could not go to the house. They could not go anywhere.

They were very scared and very sad. They hugged each other and cried. They wished they had never come to see the fire. They wished they had stayed on their side of the river. They wished they had listened to their mom, who had told them not to play with fire.
Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big hill with green grass and yellow flowers. They want to climb the hill and see the sky.

"Let's go up the hill!" Tom says. "It will be fun!"

"OK!" Mia says. "But be careful. The hill is steep and slippery."

They hold hands and start to climb. They are happy and excited. They see birds and bugs and clouds. They are almost at the top.

"I am the king of the hill!" Tom says. He feels proud. He stands up and raises his arms.

But then he slips. He falls down the hill. He rolls and rolls. He hits rocks and sticks. He gets dirty and hurt. He cries and cries.

Mia sees Tom fall. She is scared and sad. She runs down the hill. She tries to help Tom. But she slips too. She falls down the hill. She rolls and rolls. She hits rocks and sticks. She gets dirty and hurt. She cries and cries.

They lie on the soil. They are bleeding and bruised. They are not happy and excited. They are not proud. They are sorry and ashamed.

They wish they had listened to Mia. They wish they had been careful. They wish they had not climbed the hill. They wish they had stayed on the ground.
Lily loved cereal. She ate it every morning with milk and a spoon. She liked to make patterns with the different shapes and colors of the cereal in her bowl. She was very organized and neat.

One day, Lily wanted to share her cereal with her friend Ben, who came over to play. She asked her mom if she could give him some. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful not to spill the milk or make a mess.

Lily and Ben went to the kitchen and Lily poured some cereal into two bowls. She gave one to Ben and said, "This is my favorite cereal. Do you like it?"

Ben looked at the bowl and frowned. He did not like cereal. He liked toast and jam. He said, "No, thank you. I don't want cereal. Can I have toast instead?"

Lily felt sad. She wanted Ben to like her cereal and enjoy it with her. She did not understand why he did not want it. She said, "But cereal is yummy and fun. You can make pictures with it. Look, I made a star and a heart."

Ben shook his head. He did not care about the pictures. He said, "I don't like the taste or the crunch. Toast is soft and sweet. Can I please have toast?"

Lily did not know what to do. She did not want to make Ben unhappy, but she also did not want to waste her cereal. She looked at her mom, who was watching them with a smile. Her mom had an idea. She said, "Why don't you both try something new? Lily, you can have some toast with jam, and Ben, you can have some cereal with milk. Maybe you will like it if you try it."

Lily and Ben agreed to try. They swapped their bowls and took a bite. Lily was surprised. The toast was warm and sticky and tasted good. She said, "Mmm, this is not bad. I like the jam. It is sweet and fruity."

Ben was also surprised. The cereal was cold and crunchy and tasted good. He said, "Mmm, this is not bad. I like the milk. It is smooth and creamy."

Lily and Ben smiled at each other. They realized that they both liked something new. They said, "Thank you for sharing. You are a good friend."

They finished their breakfast and went to play. They both loved cereal and toast and jam. They were very happy and organized.
Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog was brown and had a long tail. The dog looked at them and wagged his tail.

"Hello, dog!" Tom said. "Do you want to play with us?"

The dog barked and ran to them. He licked Tom's face and made him laugh. Lily smiled and petted the dog's fur.

"You are a nice dog," Lily said. "What is your name?"

The dog barked again and wagged his tail. He did not have a name tag.

"Let's call him Spot," Tom said. "He has a spot on his ear."

Lily nodded. "Spot is a good name. He is a clever dog."

Tom and Lily played with Spot for a long time. They threw a ball and Spot fetched it. They ran and Spot chased them. They hugged and Spot cuddled with them. They had fun.

But then, a man came. The man was angry and had a stick. The man shouted at Tom and Lily.

"Get away from my dog!" the man said. "He is not your friend. He is a bad dog. He bit my heart."

Tom and Lily were scared. They did not understand. Spot was not a bad dog. He was a nice dog. He did not bite anyone.

"Please, don't hurt Spot," Lily said. "He is our friend. He is a clever dog."

The man did not listen. He hit Spot with his stick. Spot yelped and ran away. The man chased him.

Tom and Lily cried. They wanted to help Spot. They wanted to see him again. But they could not. The man was too fast and too mean. They lost Spot.

Tom and Lily were sad. They missed Spot. They wished he was with them. They wished he was happy. They wished the man was nice. But he was not. He was a bad man. He broke their heart.
Tom and Anna liked to play with their blocks. They built towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. They had fun and were jolly.

But one day, a big dog came into their room. The dog was not jolly. The dog was angry and loud. The dog saw the blocks and wanted to play with them too. But the dog did not play nicely. The dog ran and jumped and bit the blocks. The dog destroyed the towers and houses and bridges. The blocks flew everywhere.

Tom and Anna were scared and sad. They did not like the dog. The dog was a threat to their blocks. They wanted the dog to go away.

"Stop, dog, stop!" Tom shouted. "You are bad! You are ruining our blocks!"

"Go away, dog, go away!" Anna cried. "You are mean! You are breaking our blocks!"

But the dog did not listen. The dog kept destroying the blocks. Tom and Anna did not know what to do.

Then, their mom came into the room. She saw the dog and the blocks and the children. She was not happy. She grabbed the dog by the collar and pulled it away.

"Bad dog, bad dog!" she scolded. "You are not allowed to play with the blocks! You are making a mess and hurting the children!"

She took the dog outside and closed the door. She came back to the room and hugged Tom and Anna.

"I'm sorry, my loves, I'm sorry," she said. "The dog was not supposed to be here. He escaped from the yard. He is not our dog. He is a stray dog. He does not know how to behave."

She helped Tom and Anna pick up the blocks and put them back in the box. She kissed their heads and smiled.

"Let's go to the kitchen and have some cookies and milk," she said. "And then we can play with the blocks again. Or maybe something else. What do you think?"

Tom and Anna nodded and smiled. They were not scared and sad anymore. They were jolly again. They loved their mom and their blocks. They did not love the dog. They hoped the dog would not come back.
Lily is a white cat who likes to play. She has a big house with many rooms and toys. But she does not know how to stay when her mom tells her to. She always runs away and hides.

One day, mom has to go out and buy food. She tells Lily to stay in the living room and not to go to the kitchen. "There are hot things and sharp things in the kitchen. They can hurt you," mom says. "I will be back soon. Be a good cat and stay here."

Lily nods, but she is curious. She wants to see what is in the kitchen. She waits until mom leaves, then she sneaks to the door. She opens it with her paw and goes inside.

The kitchen is full of smells and sounds. Lily sees a pot on the stove, a knife on the counter, and a bag of cookies on the table. She jumps on the table and tries to open the bag. But the bag is too hard and she cuts her paw with the knife. She cries out in pain and drops the bag.

Mom hears Lily's cry and runs back to the house. She sees Lily on the table, bleeding and scared. She picks her up and hugs her. She wraps her paw with a cloth and takes her to the living room. She puts her on the couch and gives her some milk.

"I'm sorry, mom. I did not stay. I wanted to see the kitchen. But it was bad. It hurt me," Lily says.

"I know, Lily. But you have to learn to listen to me. I tell you to stay because I love you and I want you to be safe. The kitchen is not a place for cats. It has dangers that you don't understand. Next time, please stay where I tell you to. OK?" mom says.

"OK, mom. I will stay. I love you too. Thank you for helping me," Lily says.

Mom kisses Lily and strokes her fur. She is glad that Lily is OK. She hopes that Lily has learned her lesson. She thinks that maybe she will buy her a new toy to make her happy. A white toy, like Lily.
Ben liked to play with his toy plane. He made it fly in the air and zoom around his room. He pretended he was a pilot and had adventures. He also liked to shoot his water gun. He filled it with water and sprayed his plants and his toys. He thought it was fun to make things wet.

One day, Ben had a big idea. He wanted to shoot his plane with his water gun. He thought it would be cool to see the water hit the plane and make it spin. He waited for his mom to be busy in the kitchen. Then he took his plane and his gun and went outside. He threw his plane in the air and aimed his gun.

But Ben did not know that his dad had just washed his car. His dad was very proud of his shiny car and did not like anything to touch it. He parked his car in the driveway and went inside to get a towel. He did not see Ben with his plane and his gun.

Ben shot his plane with his water gun. He was right. It was cool to see the water hit the plane and make it spin. But he was also wrong. The plane did not fly back to him. It flew towards his dad's car. It hit the car with a loud bang and left a dent and a scratch. Ben's dad heard the noise and came outside. He saw his car and his son and his plane and his gun. He was very angry.

Ben learned a lesson that day. He learned that shooting his plane with his water gun was not a good idea. He learned that he should not play with his toys near his dad's car. He learned that he should listen to his mom and dad and be careful. He said he was sorry and hugged his dad. He also said he was sorry to his plane and put it away. He did not play with his water gun for a long time. He found other ways to have fun.
Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. Sara has a doll and Ben has a truck. They share their toys sometimes, but not always.

One day, Sara sees Ben playing with his truck on the bed. He makes the truck go up and down on the pillows. He pretends the truck is on a mountain. Sara thinks that looks fun. She wants to play with the truck too. She feels jealous of Ben.

She asks Ben, "Can I play with your truck, please?"

Ben says, "No, this is my truck. You have your doll. Go play with your doll."

Sara is sad and angry. She does not want to play with her doll. She wants to play with the truck. She thinks of a plan. She waits until Ben is not looking. Then she grabs the truck and runs away.

Ben sees Sara running away with his truck. He shouts, "Hey, that's my truck! Give it back!"

He chases Sara around the room. Sara tries to balance the truck in her hands. She does not want to drop it. She runs to the window. She sees a big tree outside. She thinks she can hide the truck in the tree.

She opens the window and throws the truck out. She hopes the truck will land on a branch. But the truck is too heavy. It falls down to the ground. It makes a loud noise. It breaks into pieces. Sara sees dust and dirt on the truck. She feels sorry and scared.

Ben sees what Sara did. He is very angry and sad. He cries, "You broke my truck! You are a bad sister!"

He runs to the window and looks at his truck. He sees it is broken. He can't play with it anymore. He feels like crying more.

Sara feels bad too. She knows she did a wrong thing. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was jealous of your truck. I wanted to play with it. But I should have asked you nicely. I should not have taken it and thrown it out. I'm sorry I broke your truck."

Ben looks at Sara. He sees she is sorry. He feels a little better. He says, "It's okay, Sara. I'm sorry I did not share my truck with you. I should have let you play with it. I know you like trucks too. I'm sorry I was mean to you."

Sara and Ben hug each other. They say they are sorry again. They go downstairs to tell their mom what happened. They hope their mom will not be too mad. They hope their mom will buy them a new truck and a new doll. They hope they will share their toys better next time. They love each other. They are twins.
Sam likes to play with his guitar. He likes to make loud noises and sing funny songs. He thinks he is a rock star. One day, he wants to show his mom his guitar skills. He runs to the living room with his guitar, but he does not see the toy car on the floor. He stumbles on the toy car and falls down. His guitar makes a big bang.

"Ouch!" Sam cries. "That hurts!"

Mom hears the noise and comes to see what happened. She sees Sam on the floor with his guitar and the toy car. She feels sorry for Sam and hugs him.

"Are you okay, Sam?" Mom asks. "Did you hurt yourself?"

Sam nods. He has a small scratch on his knee and a big bump on his head. He feels sad and angry.

"It's not fair!" Sam says. "The toy car was in the way! It ruined my show!"

Mom smiles and kisses his knee and his head. She picks up the toy car and the guitar.

"I'm sorry, Sam," Mom says. "The toy car was an accident. It did not mean to make you stumble. Maybe you can play with it later. And your guitar is not broken. It still works. Do you want to play it for me now?"

Sam looks at his mom and his guitar. He feels a little better. He likes his mom and his guitar. He decides to give them another chance.

"Okay, Mom," Sam says. "But you have to watch me. I'm a fierce rock star. I can make the best noises and songs ever!"

Mom nods and claps. She sits on the couch and watches Sam. Sam picks up his guitar and strums it. He makes loud noises and sings funny songs. He thinks he is a rock star. And Mom thinks he is the best.
Tom was a spoiled boy. He always wanted new toys and candy. He did not like to share or say thank you. He was mean to his sister and his friends.

One day, Tom saw a big red balloon at the store. He wanted it very much. He asked his mom to buy it for him. His mom said no. She said he had enough toys and he should be happy with what he had. Tom was angry. He threw a tantrum. He kicked and screamed and cried.

His mom was tired of his bad behavior. She decided to teach him a lesson. She bought the balloon and gave it to him. But she did not tie it to his wrist. She tied it to his neck. She said, "Now you can have your balloon, but you can't let go of it. If you do, it will fly away and you will lose it. Maybe this will make you appreciate what you have."

Tom was not happy. He felt the balloon pulling on his neck. He could not run or play or eat or drink. He could only hold on to the balloon. He was afraid to lose it. He realized he had been very selfish and rude. He wished he had listened to his mom and been more grateful.

He said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I don't want this balloon anymore. I want to be a good boy. Can you please untie it from my neck?" His mom smiled. She said, "I'm glad you learned your lesson. I will untie it, but only if you promise to be more kind and polite from now on." Tom nodded. He said, "I promise, mom. Thank you." His mom untied the balloon and let it go. Tom watched it fly away. He felt free and happy. He hugged his mom and said, "I love you, mom." His mom hugged him back and said, "I love you too, Tom."
Tom is a tall boy who likes to play with cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them zoom and crash on the floor. One day, he goes to the park with his mom and sees a girl with a big doll. The girl is sitting on a bench and brushing the doll's hair.

Tom is curious about the doll. He walks over to the girl and says, "Hi, I am Tom. What is your name?"

The girl looks up and smiles. She says, "Hi, I am Amy. This is my doll, Lucy. She is very pretty and soft."

Tom nods and says, "Can I touch your doll? I want to see how soft she is."

Amy nods and says, "Sure, you can touch her. But be gentle, okay? She is very delicate."

Tom reaches out and touches the doll's hair. He feels how smooth and silky it is. He says, "Wow, your doll has nice hair. Can I touch her dress?"

Amy nods and says, "Yes, you can touch her dress. It is very sparkly and shiny. Do you like it?"

Tom touches the dress and sees how it glitters in the sun. He says, "Yes, I like it. It is very pretty. Can I touch her shoes?"

Amy nods and says, "Yes, you can touch her shoes. They are very pink and cute. Do you want to try them on?"

Tom shakes his head and says, "No, thank you. They are too small for me. I have big feet. Can I introduce you to my cars?"

Amy nods and says, "Yes, I would like to see your cars. Do you have many?"

Tom nods and says, "Yes, I have many. Come, I will show you. They are very fast and loud. Do you want to play with them?"

Amy nods and says, "Yes, I want to play with them. They look fun. Maybe we can make them race and jump."

Tom and Amy go to the grass and introduce their toys to each other. They play with the cars and the doll and have a lot of fun. They become good friends and share their toys. They are happy and laugh a lot. Their mommies are happy too and watch them play. They think they are very sweet and polite. They are proud of them.
Lily loved her cat, Max. She liked to play with him, pet him and feed him. She wanted to show him to her friend, Ben, who came to visit. She ran to her room and picked up Max.

"Look, Ben, this is my cat. His name is Max. He is soft and nice," she said.

She tried to raise Max to show him to Ben, but Max did not like that. He meowed and scratched her arm. He jumped out of her arms and ran away.

"Ow, Max, that hurt!" Lily cried.

Ben looked at Lily's arm. It had a red mark. He felt sorry for her.

"I'm sorry, Lily. Your cat is pretty, but maybe he does not like to be raised. Maybe he is scared of me," he said.

Lily sniffed. She was sad and angry. She loved Max, but he hurt her.

"Maybe you are right, Ben. Maybe Max is scared. But he should not scratch me. He should be nice to me. I am nice to him," she said.

She went to find Max. He was hiding under the bed. She crawled under the bed and reached for him. She was careful not to hurt him. She spoke softly to him.

"Max, I'm sorry I raised you. I know you don't like that. But you should not scratch me. That is not nice. I love you, Max. Please come out and play with me and Ben," she said.

Max looked at Lily. He saw that she was sorry and that she loved him. He meowed and rubbed his head against her hand. He came out from under the bed and followed her to the living room.

Lily smiled and hugged Max. She showed him to Ben again, but this time she did not raise him. She let him sit on her lap and petted him gently.

"See, Ben, Max is nice. He just does not like to be raised. He likes to be petted and cuddled. Do you want to pet him too?" she asked.

Ben nodded and reached for Max. Max sniffed Ben and let him pet him too. He purred and closed his eyes.

Lily and Ben were happy. They played with Max and each other. They learned to be careful with Max and not to raise him. They learned to be nice to each other and to the cat. They had fun and became friends.
Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bell in the park. The bell is shiny and loud.

"Look, a bell!" Anna says. "Let's ring it!"

"OK!" Ben says. They run to the bell and pull the rope. The bell makes a loud noise. DING DONG DING DONG!

Some people in the park look at them. They are angry. They say, "Stop that! You are making too much noise! Go away!"

Anna and Ben are scared. They let go of the rope and run away. They feel ashamed. They did a bad thing.

"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says. "I didn't know we can't ring the bell."

"Me too, Ben," Anna says. "I didn't know either."

They hug each other and say, "We are still friends."

They go to another place in the park and play with a ball. They are happy again. They don't ring the bell anymore.
Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tunnel under a hill. They wanted to go inside and see what was there.

"Can we go in the tunnel, Mom?" Tom asked.

"Only if you are careful and stay together," Mom said. "And don't go too far."

Tom and Lily nodded and ran to the tunnel. They held hands and walked inside. It was dark and cool. They heard some noises.

"What is that?" Lily whispered.

"Maybe it is a mouse or a bird," Tom said.

They kept walking until they saw a light at the end of the tunnel. They came out and saw a beautiful garden with flowers and trees. They also saw a man with a hat and a shovel.

"Hello, children," the man said. "Do you like my garden?"

"Yes, it is very pretty," Lily said.

"How did you make it?" Tom asked.

"I dug this tunnel and planted the seeds," the man said. "It was hard work, but I love gardening. It is my hobby."

"You are very clever," Tom said.

"Thank you," the man said. "Do you want to help me water the plants?"

Tom and Lily smiled and nodded. They followed the man and helped him with his hose. They had fun in the garden and learned about the plants. Mom watched them from the other side of the tunnel and smiled. She was glad they found a new friend.
Anna was going to a big party with her mom and dad. She was very happy and excited. She put on a pretty dress and a veil. The veil was white and soft and had flowers on it. She felt like a princess.

She saw a big cake on the table. It had candles and sprinkles and looked yummy. She wanted to have a piece, but mom said she had to wait. She saw a lot of people in the room. Some of them she knew, some of them she did not. She said hello to them and smiled.

She saw a furry cat on the sofa. It was black and white and had green eyes. She liked cats and wanted to pet it. She went to the sofa and reached out her hand. The cat looked at her and meowed.

"Hello, kitty," Anna said. "Can I pet you? You are so furry and cute."

The cat did not like strangers. It did not want to be petted. It hissed and scratched Anna's hand. Anna felt a sharp pain and cried. She ran to mom and showed her the scratch. Mom hugged her and kissed her hand.

"I'm sorry, sweetie," mom said. "The cat was scared and did not know you. It did not mean to hurt you. Are you okay?"

Anna nodded and wiped her tears. She felt better. Mom gave her a band-aid and a cookie. She told her to be careful with animals and to ask before touching them. Anna said she understood and said sorry to the cat. The cat did not say anything, but it looked a little sorry too. Anna smiled and went to play with the other kids. She had fun at the party and forgot about the scratch. She still liked cats, but she learned to respect them. She still felt like a princess, but a kinder one.
Sara and Ben like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different shapes and colors. They can make towers, houses, cars and animals with their blocks.

One day, Sara and Ben want to number their blocks. They find a big paper and a crayon. They draw a line on the paper and write 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. They want to put one block on each number.

Sara picks a red square block and puts it on the number 1. Ben picks a blue circle block and puts it on the number 2. They take turns to find more blocks and match them with the numbers.

But when Sara reaches for the number 5, she sees that there is no block left. She looks around and sees a broken block on the floor. It is a yellow triangle block. It has a crack in the middle.

"Who broke this block?" Sara asks. She is sad and angry.

"I don't know," Ben says. He is sorry and scared.

"Maybe it was the dog," Sara says. She loves the dog, but sometimes he chews on their toys.

"Maybe it was an accident," Ben says. He hopes Sara will not be mad at him.

"Maybe we can fix it," Sara says. She has an idea.

She gets some tape and sticks the two pieces of the block together. It is not perfect, but it looks like a triangle again.

She puts the block on the number 5 and smiles.

"Look, we did it!" she says.

Ben smiles too.

"Good job, Sara!" he says.

They hug and high-five.

They are happy and proud.

They finish numbering their blocks and then play with them some more.
Tom was a brave boy who had to go to the hospital for an operation. He was not scared, because he knew the doctors and nurses would help him feel better. He had a big teddy bear with him, who was his best friend.

When he got to the hospital, he saw a lot of people in white clothes and masks. They smiled at him and said hello. They took him to a room with a big bed and a lot of machines. They told him they would give him some medicine to make him sleep, and then they would do the operation.

Tom nodded and hugged his teddy bear. He was ready to go to sleep. But then he saw a little girl in the next bed. She looked very sad and scared. She had no toys or friends with her. She stared at Tom and his teddy bear with wide eyes.

Tom felt sorry for the little girl. He wanted to make her happy. He whispered to his teddy bear, "Can I share you with her? She needs a friend too." His teddy bear nodded, because he was a very kind teddy bear.

Tom got out of his bed and walked to the little girl's bed. He smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Tom. What's your name?" The little girl looked surprised and shy. She said, "I'm Lily. I have to have an operation too." Tom said, "Me too. But don't worry, it will be okay. The doctors and nurses are very nice. And look, I have a friend for you. This is my teddy bear. He is very soft and cuddly. You can hold him if you want."

Lily smiled and reached out for the teddy bear. She hugged him and said, "Thank you, Tom. He is very nice. You are very nice too." Tom said, "You're welcome, Lily. We can be friends too. And when we wake up, we can play together." Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Tom. That sounds fun."

The doctors and nurses came and gave Tom and Lily some medicine to make them sleep. They took them to the operation room. Tom and Lily held hands and their teddy bears. They closed their eyes and dreamed of happy things.

The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring.
Anna and Ben are happy. They have balloons. They like to play with balloons. They blow them up and let them go. They watch them fly in the air. They laugh and clap.

"Look, Anna, my balloon is red. Your balloon is blue. They are pretty," Ben says.

"Yes, they are. I like your balloon. Can I hold it?" Anna asks.

"OK, but be careful. Don't let it pop," Ben says. He gives his balloon to Anna.

Anna holds the balloon. She likes how it feels. She squeezes it a little. She hears a noise. The balloon pops. She is scared. She drops the pieces.

"Anna, what did you do? You tore my balloon. You made it pop. That was my balloon. I am sad," Ben says. He cries.

"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to. I was just playing. Please don't be sad," Anna says. She cries too.

They both cry. They have no balloons. They are not happy. They hug each other. They say sorry. They go home.
Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a bike that they took turns to ride. One day, they found a big tire near the swings. They thought it would be fun to roll it around.

"Let's part the tire and see what's inside," Ben said. He tried to pull the tire apart, but it was too hard.

"No, don't part it, it might break," Lily said. She liked the tire as it was. She pushed it and made it spin.

They played with the tire for a while, until it started to rain. The sky was gloomy and dark. They heard thunder and saw lightning.

"Let's go home, it's scary," Lily said. She grabbed Ben's hand and ran to the bike.

But when they got to the bike, they saw that one of the wheels was flat. Someone had popped it with a pin.

"Oh no, our bike is broken," Ben said. He felt sad and angry.

"Who did this? Why did they do this?" Lily asked. She felt sad and scared.

They didn't know what to do. They couldn't ride the bike home. They couldn't leave it there. They couldn't carry it. They looked around for help, but no one was in the park.

They felt alone and wet. They wished they had never found the tire. They wished they had never tried to part it. They wished they had never come to the park. They wished they were home.
Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to climb the trees and swing on the vines. They saw a big palm tree with many green leaves. Ben wanted to climb it and see what was on top.

"Come on, Mia, follow me!" he said. "Let's go up the palm tree!"

Mia was scared. She did not like to climb so high. She thought the palm tree was too rough and hard. She wanted to stay on the ground and play with the flowers.

"No, Ben, I don't want to follow you!" she said. "The palm tree is rough and scary. I like the flowers better. They are soft and pretty."

Ben was angry. He did not like that Mia did not want to follow him. He thought she was silly and boring. He wanted to have fun and explore.

"You are a baby, Mia!" he said. "You are afraid of everything. I don't want to play with you anymore. I will go up the palm tree by myself and find something cool."

He ran to the palm tree and started to climb. He did not look back at Mia. He did not care if she was sad or lonely.

Mia felt hurt. She did not like that Ben was mean to her. She thought he was rude and selfish. She wanted to play with him and be his friend.

She started to cry. She did not know what to do. She wished Ben would come back and say sorry.

She saw a lady walking by with a dog. The dog was brown and fluffy. It looked friendly and happy. It came to Mia and licked her face.

"Hello, little girl," the lady said. "What is your name? Why are you crying?"

Mia wiped her tears and smiled. She liked the lady and the dog. They were kind and gentle.

"My name is Mia," she said. "I am crying because Ben was mean to me. He wanted to climb the palm tree and I didn't. He said I was a baby and he left me alone."

The lady frowned. She did not like that Ben was mean to Mia. She thought he was wrong and unkind.

"That is not nice, Ben," she said. "You should not be mean to your friend. You should respect her feelings and choices. You should apologize to her and play nicely."

She looked up at the palm tree and saw Ben. He was on the top, holding a coconut. He looked proud and happy.

"Ben, come down here!" she called. "I want to talk to you!"

Ben heard the lady and looked down. He saw Mia with the lady and the dog. He felt guilty and ashamed. He realized he was mean to Mia. He wished he was not.

He climbed down the palm tree and came to the lady. He held the coconut in his hand.

"Hello, lady," he said. "Who are you? What do you want?"

The lady smiled. She was not angry. She wanted to help Ben and Mia.

"I am Mrs. Lee," she said. "I live near the park. I saw you and Mia playing. I want to talk to you about how you treated her."

She pointed to the coconut.

"What is that?" she asked.

Ben looked at the coconut. He thought it was cool and special.

"It is a coconut," he said. "I found it on the palm tree. It is hard and round. I want to open it and see what is inside."

Mrs. Lee nodded. She knew about coconuts. She had some at home.

"That is very nice, Ben," she said. "You are brave and curious. You like to climb and explore. But you know what? Mia is also nice. She is careful and gentle. She likes to play and enjoy. You are different, but you are both good. You should not be mean to her because she does not want to follow you. You should respect her and be her friend. Do you understand?"

Ben nodded. He understood. He felt sorry for what he did. He wanted to make up with Mia.

He turned to Mia and gave her the coconut.

"I am sorry, Mia," he said. "I was mean to you. I should not have said you were a baby. I should have respected you. You are my friend. Do you want to share the coconut with me?"

Mia smiled. She forgave Ben. She wanted to share the coconut with him.

"Thank you, Ben," she said. "I am sorry too. I should not have said you were rude. I should have supported you. You are my friend. Yes, I want to share the coconut with you."

They hugged and smiled. They were happy again.

Mrs. Lee smiled too. She was glad they made up. She wanted to help them open the coconut.

"Come on
Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they also liked to find new things. One day, they saw a big case under a tree. It was red and shiny.

"Wow, what is that?" Tom asked.

"Let's go and see!" Lily said.

They ran to the case and tried to open it. But it was locked. They looked for a key, but they could not find one.

"Maybe there is something nice inside," Tom said. "Maybe there is a toy or a book or a cake."

"Or maybe there is something bad inside," Lily said. "Maybe there is a snake or a spider or a monster."

They were curious and impatient. They wanted to know what was in the case. They pulled and pushed and kicked the case. But it did not open.

"Hey, stop that!" a voice said.

They turned around and saw a man. He was wearing a hat and a coat. He looked angry.

"That is my case!" he said. "What are you doing with it?"

Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know the man. They did not know what he had in his case.

"We are sorry, mister," Tom said. "We just wanted to see what was inside."

"Well, you can't," the man said. "It is none of your business. It is private. Now go away and leave me alone."

He took the case and walked away. Tom and Lily felt sad and ashamed. They had been rude and nosy. They had not respected the man's things.

They went back to their parents, who were sitting on a bench. They told them what had happened. Their parents hugged them and said:

"It is good that you are curious and like to find new things. But you have to be careful and polite. You can't touch or open other people's things without their permission. You might hurt them or yourself. You might make them angry or sad. You have to respect their privacy and their rights. Do you understand?"

Tom and Lily nodded. They said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with their own toys and books and cakes. They decided to be more respectful and patient. They decided to be better children.
Lily loved to play with her tea set. She had a gifted tea set from her grandma, with pink cups and saucers, a shiny pot, and a little tray. She liked to fill the pot with water and pretend to pour tea for her dolls and teddy bears. She also had some cookies and cakes that she made from clay.

One day, she invited her friend Ben to join her tea party. Ben was very excited, because he liked tea and cookies too. He brought his own teddy bear and sat down on the rug with Lily. Lily smiled and said, "Welcome to my tea party, Ben. Would you like some tea?"

"Yes, please," Ben said. "Thank you, Lily. Your tea set is very pretty."

Lily filled a cup with water from the pot and handed it to Ben. She filled another cup for herself and put it on her saucer. She also gave Ben a cookie and took one for herself. They clinked their cups and said, "Cheers!"

They enjoyed their tea and cookies, and talked about their favorite games and stories. They were having so much fun, that they didn't notice that the water in the pot was getting lower and lower. Lily kept filling their cups, until there was no more water left in the pot.

"Oh no," Lily said. "We ran out of tea. What can we do?"

Ben thought for a moment. He had an idea. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. I know where we can get more tea. Follow me."

He took Lily's hand and led her to the kitchen. He showed her the faucet, where water came out when you turned the knob. He said, "Look, Lily. This is where water comes from. We can fill the pot with water from here, and then we can have more tea."

Lily was amazed. She said, "Wow, Ben. You are very smart. You know where water comes from. How do you know that?"

Ben smiled and said, "My mom taught me. She said water is very important for us and for the plants and animals. She also said water can be hot or cold, and we have to be careful not to burn ourselves or waste it."

Lily nodded. She said, "Your mom is very nice. She taught you good things. Thank you for showing me where water comes from, Ben. You are a very good friend."

They filled the pot with water, and went back to their tea party. They poured more tea for themselves and their teddy bears, and ate more cookies and cakes. They were very happy, and they agreed that this was the best tea party ever.
Lily and Ben were playing with their colorful blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. They had many blocks of different shapes and sizes.

But then, Lily saw a shiny red block that Ben had in his hand. She wanted that block very much. She thought it was the prettiest block of all. She waited until Ben was not looking and then she took the block from him. She ran upstairs with the block and hid it under her pillow.

Ben noticed that his block was gone. He looked around and saw Lily running upstairs. He knew she had stolen his block. He felt angry and sad. He followed her upstairs and knocked on her door.

"Lily, give me back my block!" he shouted. "You stole it from me!"

"No, I didn't!" Lily lied. "It's my block! Go away!"

"Yes, you did! I saw you take it! It's not fair!" Ben cried.

They argued and yelled for a long time. They did not share or play nicely. They did not have fun.

Mom heard the noise and came upstairs. She saw the block under Lily's pillow and the tears on Ben's face. She knew what had happened. She was not happy.

She took the block from Lily and gave it back to Ben. She told Lily that stealing was wrong and that she had to say sorry to Ben. She told Ben that he had to forgive Lily and that they had to share their blocks. She told them that they were brother and sister and that they had to love each other.

Lily and Ben felt sorry for what they had done. They hugged and said sorry. They went downstairs and played with their blocks again. They shared and helped each other. They had fun. They were happy.
Ben and Mia like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They see a big hill with green grass. They want to roll down the hill.

"Let's go, Ben!" Mia says. "It will be fun!"

"OK, Mia!" Ben says. "But be careful. The hill is very steep."

They climb up the hill. They lie down on the grass. They hold hands. They are ready to roll.

"One, two, three, go!" Mia says.

They start to roll down the hill. They feel the wind and the sun and the grass. They laugh and scream. They roll faster and faster.

But then, something happens. Ben sees a big rock on the grass. It is in their way. He tries to stop. He tries to turn. But he can't. He hits the rock. He bumps his head. He cries.

"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben says. "My head hurts!"

Mia stops rolling. She sees Ben. She runs to him. She hugs him. She is sorry.

"I'm sorry, Ben!" Mia says. "Are you OK?"

Ben rubs his head. He sees a red spot on the grass. It is his blood. He is scared.

"No, Mia!" Ben says. "I'm not OK. I need help!"

Mia looks around. She sees a lady on a bench. She has a dog. She is reading a book. She is patient. She waits for her dog to finish playing.

"Help, help!" Mia says. "My brother is hurt!"

The lady hears Mia. She puts down her book. She runs to Ben and Mia. She sees the rock and the blood and the bump. She is kind. She is smart. She knows what to do.

"Don't worry, kids!" the lady says. "I'm a nurse. I can help you. Let me see your head, Ben."

She takes out a bandage and a bottle from her bag. She cleans Ben's wound. She puts the bandage on his head. She gives him a hug. She makes him feel better.

"There, there, Ben!" the lady says. "You'll be fine. It's just a small cut. It will heal soon. You're very brave."

Ben smiles. He feels better. He says thank you.

"Thank you, lady!" Ben says. "You're very nice. And you're very smart."

The lady smiles. She says you're welcome.

"You're welcome, Ben!" the lady says. "And you're very polite. And you're very lucky. You have a good sister. She loves you. She helped you."

Ben looks at Mia. He sees her worried face. He sees her dirty clothes. He sees her grassy hair. He loves her. He hugs her. He says sorry.

"I'm sorry, Mia!" Ben says. "I ruined our fun. I made you scared. I made you dirty."

Mia hugs Ben. She sees his bandage. She sees his smile. She sees his blood. She loves him. She says it's OK.

"It's OK, Ben!" Mia says. "I'm glad you're OK. I'm not scared. I'm not dirty. I'm happy. You're my brother. We have fun. We have grass."

They laugh. They hug. They have grass. They are happy.
Lily and Ben were playing with their toy boats in the bathtub. They liked to pretend they were in the navy and had to fight the pirates. Lily had a blue boat and Ben had a red boat.

"Look, there's a pirate ship!" Lily said, pointing to a rubber duck. "We have to sink it before it steals our treasure!"

"Okay, let's go!" Ben said, making his boat zoom towards the duck. He tried to splash it with water, but the duck was too big and floated away.

"Ha ha, you missed!" Lily said, laughing. She made her boat go around the duck and bumped it with her nose. "I got it, I got it!"

But as she did, she accidentally knocked over a bottle of shampoo that was on the edge of the tub. The shampoo spilled into the water and made it all bubbly and slippery.

"Uh oh, what's that?" Ben said, seeing the bubbles. "It looks like smoke!"

"It's not smoke, it's soap!" Lily said, trying to wipe it off her eyes. "It's making my eyes hurt!"

"Me too, me too!" Ben said, rubbing his eyes. "It's cold and stingy!"

They both started to cry and shout for help. Their mom heard them and ran into the bathroom. She saw the mess and was very angry.

"What have you done?" she said, turning off the faucet and grabbing a towel. "You made a big mess and wasted all the shampoo! And you got soap in your eyes! That's very dangerous!"

She wrapped them in the towel and took them out of the tub. She dried them off and put some eye drops in their eyes. Then she put them in their pajamas and sent them to bed without any story or snack.

They both felt very sorry and sad. They wished they had not played with the shampoo. They wished they had not fought the pirate duck. They wished they had listened to their mom. They lay in their beds and sniffled. They did not say good night to each other. They did not reply when their mom said she loved them. They just closed their eyes and hoped the soap would go away.
Lily and Ben love to play with their robot. The robot can talk, dance and sing. They have a lot of fun with their robot every day.

One day, they decide to show their robot to their friends. They invite them to their house and tell them to sit on the couch. They say, "We have a surprise for you. You will see something incredible!"

They turn on their robot and make it say hello to their friends. Their friends are amazed and say, "Wow, your robot can talk!" Lily and Ben smile and say, "That's not all. Watch this!"

They press a button and make their robot dance to a catchy song. Their robot moves its arms and legs and spins around. Their friends clap their hands and say, "Wow, your robot can dance!" Lily and Ben laugh and say, "That's not all. Watch this!"

They press another button and make their robot sing a funny song. Their robot makes funny noises and rhymes. Their friends giggle and say, "Wow, your robot can sing!" Lily and Ben nod and say, "That's not all. Watch this!"

They press the last button and make their robot do a bow. Their robot bends its body and says, "Thank you for watching. I hope you liked my show." Their friends cheer and say, "Wow, your robot is incredible!" Lily and Ben hug their robot and say, "We love our robot. It is the best toy ever!"

They all applaud their robot and give it a big group hug. They are very happy and proud of their robot. They play with their robot and their friends for a long time. They have a wonderful day.
Timmy was hungry. He wanted a banana. He saw a banana on the table. But the table was too high. He could not reach the banana.

He tried to climb on a chair. But the chair was too wobbly. He fell down. He hurt his knee. He cried.

"Timmy, what's wrong?" Mommy asked. She came to the kitchen. She saw Timmy on the floor. She saw the banana on the table.

"I want a banana, Mommy. But I can't reach it. It's too high. I'm miserable," Timmy said.

Mommy hugged Timmy. She kissed his knee. She picked up the banana. She peeled it. She broke it in half. She gave one half to Timmy. She ate the other half.

"Here you go, Timmy. A banana for you. A banana for me. Bananas are yummy. And you are brave. You don't have to be miserable. You can ask me for help," Mommy said.

Timmy smiled. He ate his banana. He felt better. He thanked Mommy. He hugged her.

"I love you, Mommy. And I love bananas," Timmy said.
Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play pretend. Today they are playing opera. Opera is when people sing very loud and wear fancy clothes.

Lily puts on a blue dress and a blue hat. She says, "I am the opera lady. I sing very well. Listen to me." She opens her mouth and sings, "La la la la la!"

Ben puts on a black coat and a black hat. He says, "I am the opera man. I sing very well too. Listen to me." He opens his mouth and sings, "Ba ba ba ba ba!"

They sing together, "La ba la ba la ba!" They are very happy.

Mom is in the kitchen. She hears them singing. She smiles. She says, "They are very cute. They love opera."

She makes some cookies. She puts them on a plate. She says, "Lily and Ben, come here. I have a surprise for you."

Lily and Ben stop singing. They run to the kitchen. They see the cookies. They say, "Wow! Cookies! Thank you, Mom!"

Mom says, "You're welcome. You can have one each. But first, you have to pass me your hats. They are too big for you."

Lily and Ben pass Mom their hats. They take a cookie each. They say, "Mmm, delicious!"

Mom says, "I'm glad you like them. Maybe later we can watch a real opera on TV. Would you like that?"

Lily and Ben say, "Yes, please! We love opera!" They hug Mom. They are very happy.
Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they did not share them with each other. They always wanted more and more toys, and they did not care about other things. They thought they had luxury, but they were not happy.

One day, their mom took them to the park, where they saw some kids playing with a ball. The kids had fun, and they shared the ball with each other. Tom and Sam wanted to join them, but they did not have a ball. They only had their toys, which they did not want to lend to anyone.

"Can we play with your ball?" Tom asked one of the kids.

"Sure, you can play with us, but you have to share your toys too," the kid said.

"But these are our toys, we don't share them," Sam said.

"Then you can't play with us, either," the kid said. "Sharing is fun, and it makes everyone happy. You should try it."

Tom and Sam felt sad and left out. They realized that their toys did not make them happy, and that they were missing out on something better. They looked at each other, and decided to change their ways.

They went back to the kids, and said, "We are sorry, we were wrong. We want to share our toys with you, and we want to play with your ball. Can we be friends?"

The kids smiled, and welcomed them. They spread the toys and the ball around, and everyone had a great time. Tom and Sam learned that sharing is a luxury, and that being greedy is crazy. They thanked the kids, and hugged their mom. They were happy, and they never fought over their toys again.
Tim and Mia were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they kicked the ball too hard and it went far away.

One time, they kicked the ball so hard that it flew over the fence and landed in a big house. The house was very big and had many windows and flowers. Tim and Mia thought that the people who lived there were very wealthy.

They ran to the fence and tried to get their ball back. But the fence was too high and they could not climb over it. They saw a man coming out of the house. He was wearing a suit and a hat and he looked angry.

"Hey, you kids, what are you doing here?" he shouted. "This is my property. You can't play here. Go away!"

"Please, sir, we are sorry," Mia said. "We just want our ball back. We kicked it by mistake. Can you give it to us?"

The man looked at the ball and snorted. "This ball? This is a cheap and dirty ball. You don't deserve it. I will keep it for myself. It will make a nice toy for my dog."

He picked up the ball and threw it inside the house. Then he slammed the door and locked it.

Tim and Mia were very sad and angry. They had lost their ball and the man was very mean. They wanted to kick him, but they knew they could not. They sat on the ground and cried. They wished they had a better ball and a nicer place to play.
Once upon a time, there were two friends Jane and Molly. Every day they would play together in the park. 

One day, the sun was shining and the birds were singing. Jane and Molly were running around in the tall grass, when they stumbled upon a mysterious box. Jane said, “What is this?†

Molly said, “It’s a box! Let’s open it.†So they carefully opened the box. A cloud of perfume swirled out of the box and filled the air with a lovely smell. Inside the box was a special gift. It was a big jar of sweet-smelling perfume. 

Molly said, “Welcome, special perfume!†Jane said, “Let’s take it home and share it with my mum. She always smells so nice and spoiled.†

So the two friends carried the jar of perfume back to Jane’s house. They were so excited to give it to her! When they arrived, Jane’s mum smiled and said, “Welcome, special perfume!â€
Once there was a little girl named Maggie. She was very busy playing with her toys. Suddenly her mom called her. "Maggie, it's time to go. We're going to the opera!"

Maggie smiled. She loved going to the opera. She quickly wiped off her hands and followed her mom out the door.

At the opera, Maggie saw lots of people in fancy clothes. There were singers and dancers and the music was loud.

Maggie watched the show carefully. When it was over, she clapped and smiled. 

On the way home, she was sleepy, but happy. "Mommy, will we go back to the opera soon?"

Her mom smiled. "Yes, Maggie, we can go soon. But now let's get home and you can rest." 
Maggie fell asleep in the car, dreaming of the busy opera.
Once there was a kid who was very enthusiastic. He loved new tastes! One day he went to a market full of different foods he'd never tasted before. He was so excited to try them!

"Oh boy!" he exclaimed, "I can't wait to try all these tasty things!" His mom smiled. 

He walked around, tasting this and that. Then he saw something he didn't recognize. He asked the seller what it was.

"This is a cotton candy," said the seller. "You can try it if you want!"

The kid was delighted. He grabbed one and ate it right away! It was sweet and fluffy, and he loved it.

He wanted more. He asked his mom if he could buy more, and she said yes. The kid was so happy.

He ran around the market tasting all the other foods. He ate the cotton candy until he was full. Riding the bus home, he smiled with satisfaction. He'd had a great day tasting all his new treats.
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Anne. She was very excited to go to her first baseball game. She was so nervous and was trying to collect herself when suddenly she heard a loud noise. She looked up to the sky and saw a baseball flying very high in the sky. She wanted to catch it so she jumped in excitement and ran to where the ball was going to land. 

Anne was so excited that she didn't realize she was running very fast and when she came to a stop, she was out of breath. 

When she finally collected herself, she found that she was standing right where the ball was going to land. Everyone around her started cheering and clapping. Anne was so surprised and nervously looked around to see if anyone was looking at her in confusion. But everyone around her had the biggest smile on their face, and Anne cheered with them.

When the ball finally landed, Anne quickly ran to pick it up and raised it in the air. Everyone was cheering for her and she was so happy and proud to have collected the ball. Anne was so glad that she went to the baseball game that day.
Mum and baby were walking to the train station. Baby was very excited because Grandma was coming to stay for a few days. As they were almost at the station, baby noticed an elderly lady sat on the stairs. The elderly lady was holding a sign. Baby asked Mum what it said. 

"It says 'Homeless. Please help'," said Mum. 

The elderly lady then said, "It's not right that I have nowhere to stay. It's really disturbing."

Baby felt really sorry for the elderly lady and he wanted to help. Mum asked if they had any spare money they could give her, but all they had was train tickets. 

They asked if the tickets to the station would help and the lady said, "Of course it will! Now I can get some help at the station. Thank you!"

Mum and baby were really pleased that they could help the elderly lady and they waved to her as they got on the train. 

They all went off to their destination, but this time with big smiles on their faces.
One day, Max, a three year old boy, got all dressed up and went out for a walk with his mom. He loved to explore the small landscape. Max noticed so many things on the walk. He saw a patch of purple flowers and hopped over a small stone wall. Mom helped him manage the climb.
