Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big basket on a bench. It had many muffins inside. They smelled good. "Who left these muffins here?" Lily asked. "I don't know. Maybe someone forgot them," Ben said. "Can we have one?" Lily asked. Ben shrugged. He did not know if it was right or wrong to take a muffin. He was hungry. "Maybe we can ask someone," he said. They looked around. They saw a man with a dog. They saw a woman with a bike. They saw a boy with a ball. But they did not see anyone who looked like they owned the basket. "Maybe they are gone," Lily said. "Maybe they don't mind," Ben said. They walked to the bench. They reached for a muffin. They were cold. They did not look very fresh. "Yuck," Lily said. "Yuck," Ben said. They put the muffin back. They did not want it anymore. "Let's go play," Lily said. "Let's go play," Ben said. They ran to the slide. They forgot about the muffins. They had more fun.

Sam and his dog Spot liked to play in the park. They ran and jumped and chased a ball. Sometimes they got wet from the sprinklers or the pond. Then they would shake and roll on the grass to dry off. One day, Sam saw a big sign in the park. It had many words on it. Sam could not read all the words, but he knew some of them. He saw the word "dry" and the word "message". He wondered what the sign said. He asked his dog Spot, "Can you read this sign, Spot? What does it say?" Spot looked at the sign and barked. He wagged his tail and licked Sam's face. Sam smiled and hugged Spot. He said, "You are a loyal friend, Spot. You always make me happy." Sam and Spot did not know that the sign said, "Keep off the grass. It is dry and needs water. Thank you for your message of care." But they did not need to know. They had each other and they had fun. They left the park and went home, happy and dry.

"Ready to play, Tom?" he asked. "Ready, Sam," Tom said. He did not see the flashlight on Sam's pistol. Sam smiled and turned on the flashlight. He pointed it at Tom and said, "Bang, bang, you're dead!" Tom was confused. He saw the bright light on Sam's pistol, and thought it was a real laser. He was scared and angry. He thought Sam was cheating. He threw his pistol on the ground and ran to Sam. He pushed him and shouted, "That's not fair, Sam! You can't use a laser! That's not a real pistol!" Sam fell down and dropped his pistol. He was hurt and sad. He did not mean to cheat. He just wanted to have fun. He cried and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I just wanted to make my pistol better. I thought you would like it." Tom looked at Sam and saw his tears. He felt sorry for him. He realized that Sam was just trying to be creative. He picked up Sam's pistol and looked at it. He saw the tape and the flashlight. He said, "I'm sorry, too, Sam. I was scared and mad. I didn't know it was just a flashlight. It's actually a cool idea. Can I try it?" Sam nodded and smiled. He wiped his tears and got up. He gave Tom his pistol and said, "Sure, Tom. You can try it. But you have to let me use yours, too." Tom agreed and handed Sam his pistol. They hugged and said, "We're still brothers, right?" "Right," they said. They went back to playing with their pistols, but this time, they took turns using the flashlight. They had more fun than ever. They were organized and fair. They were happy.

Ben said, pointing to a lake that sparkled like a jewel. "And look at that!" Lily said, pointing to a rainbow that arched over the sky. They felt happy and excited. They hugged each other and smiled. But not everyone was happy. A little boy named Tom was sitting on a bench with his dad. He saw Lily and Ben on the hill and felt envious. He wanted to go up there too, but his dad said no. "No, Tom, we can't go up there. It's too far and too steep. We have to go home soon," dad said. Tom felt sad and angry. He crossed his arms and pouted. He wished he had a twin like Lily or Ben.

Lila and Ben held hands and looked at the sky. "Wow, look at that one!" Ben said, pointing at a firework that burst into red and blue stars. "It's so pretty!" "I like that one!" Lila said, pointing at another firework that twisted and turned like a snake. "It's so flexible!" They clapped and cheered as more fireworks lit up the night. They saw fireworks of different colors, shapes and sounds. Some were loud and some were quiet. Some were big and some were small. Some were fast and some were slow. "Can we make fireworks too?" Lila asked Mom. "No, sweetie, fireworks are not for kids. They are very hot and dangerous. Only grown-ups can make them and use them safely." Mom said. "Then can we play with sparklers?" Ben asked Dad. "Sure, we can do that. Sparklers are like little fireworks that you can hold in your hand. But you have to be careful and follow the rules." Dad said. He gave them each a sparkler and a lighter. He told them to hold the sparkler away from their face and body, and to wave it gently in the air. He lit the sparklers and they started to sparkle and crackle. Lila and Ben smiled and giggled as they made shapes and letters with their sparklers. They felt like they were making their own fireworks. They had a lot of fun until the sparklers ran out. "Did you like the fireworks and the sparklers?" Mom asked them. "Yes, we loved them!" Lila and Ben said. "Me too. They were very beautiful and amazing." Mom said. They hugged and thanked Mom and Dad for taking them to the park. They went back to the car and drove home.

Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide on the big slide. It was fun and fast. But today, the slide was wet and dirty. There was soil on the slide. Anna and Ben did not like soil. It was brown and sticky. "Who put soil on the slide?" Anna asked. "I want to slide, but I don't want to get dirty." "Maybe it was the rain," Ben said. "Or maybe it was a naughty dog. Let's go and find another slide." They looked around the park. There were many slides, but they were all wet and dirty. There was soil on every slide. Anna and Ben were frustrated. They wanted to slide, but they could not. "Maybe we can clean the slide," Anna said. "We can use our hands and wipe the soil off." "OK, let's try," Ben said. They went to the big slide. They used their hands and wiped the soil off. It was hard work. They got soil on their hands and clothes. But they did not care. They wanted to slide. They cleaned the slide as much as they could. Then they climbed up the ladder. They were ready to slide. "Are you ready, Anna?" Ben asked. "Yes, I'm ready, Ben," Anna said. They slid down the slide. It was fun and fast. But it was also slippery and bumpy. They did not see the big rock on the slide. The rock was hidden by the soil. They slid over the rock. They bumped their heads. They fell off the slide. They landed on the ground. They were hurt and dirty. They cried. They were not happy. They did not like the slide. They did not like the soil. They did not like the rock. They wanted to go home.

You can only observe it from far away!" Lily felt miserable. She wanted to play with the crystal too. She said, "Tim, that is not nice! We should share our toys. Sharing is caring!" Tim did not listen. He held the crystal tight and ran away. He did not see the big rock in his way. He tripped and fell. The crystal flew out of his hand and broke into pieces. Tim cried. He hurt his knee and his crystal was gone. He said, "Oh no, my crystal! It is broken! I am so sad!" Lily ran to him. She saw his tears and his blood. She felt sorry for him. She said, "Tim, are you okay? I am sorry your crystal broke. Here, let me help you." She gave him a hug and a band-aid. She said, "Tim, I know you liked the crystal, but you should not be greedy. Greedy people lose their friends and their things. Next time, let us share and be happy together." Tim nodded. He said, "You are right, Lily. I was greedy and mean. I am sorry. Thank you for helping me. You are a good sister. Can we be friends again?" Lily smiled. She said, "Of course, Tim. We are always friends. I love you." They hugged and went inside.

It had a little water and a little shade. They crawled inside. It was very tight. They could barely fit. But they were glad. They drank some water and rested. "This is our oasis," Mia said. "We don't need the mean man's oasis. We have each other." "Yes, Mia, this is our oasis," Tom said. "We don't hate it. We love it." They hugged and smiled. They were happy and hopeful.

He is inside the house, talking to Tom and Lily's mom. He hears the noise and runs outside. He sees his car driving away with two kids inside. He is very angry. He shouts, "Hey, stop! That's my car!" Tom and Lily are scared. They realize they made a big mistake. They stop the car and get out. They say, "We're sorry. We were just playing pretend. We didn't know it was your car." The cop is still angry, but he is also relieved. He says, "You could have been hurt. You could have hurt someone else. You can't play with a real car. That's very dangerous. You have to be careful." Tom and Lily nod. They say, "We're sorry. We won't do it again. We'll play with our box car." The cop takes his car back. He tells Tom and Lily's mom what happened. She is shocked and sorry. She says, "I'm sorry. They didn't mean any harm. They were just playing pretend. They like to be cops and drivers." The cop says, "I understand. But they have to learn the difference between pretend and real. They have to respect other people's things. They have to follow the rules." Tom and Lily's mom says, "You're right. I'll talk to them. I'll teach them. I'll punish them." Tom and Lily are sad. They know they did wrong. They say, "We're sorry. We love to play pretend. But we don't love to make trouble." The cop says, "I know. I love to play pretend too. When I was a kid, I pretended to be a cop. That's why I became a cop. But I also learned to be responsible. To be a good cop, you have to be responsible." Tom and Lily say, "We want to be responsible too. We want to be good cops and drivers. We want to be good kids." The cop says, "That's good. I'm glad. Maybe one day, you can be real cops and drivers. But for now, just play pretend. And have fun. And be safe." Tom and Lily say, "Thank you. We will. We're sorry. Goodbye." The cop says, "You're welcome. I'm sorry too. Goodbye." Tom and Lily go back to their box car. They play pretend. But they are more careful. They don't touch real cars. They don't make trouble. They have fun. And they are safe.

Tim liked to whistle. He whistled when he played, when he ate, and when he went to bed. He whistled so much that his mom and dad sometimes asked him to stop. But Tim did not stop. He loved to whistle. One day, Tim found a big wardrobe in his room. It was old and brown and had many clothes inside. Tim was curious. He opened the wardrobe and looked inside. He saw a hat, a coat, a scarf, and a pair of boots. He decided to try them on. He put on the hat, the coat, the scarf, and the boots. He felt very funny. He looked at himself in the mirror and laughed. He whistled a happy tune. Then he heard a voice. It was low and growly and came from the wardrobe. "Who are you?" the voice said. "What are you doing in my wardrobe?" Tim was scared. He turned around and saw a big bear. The bear had fur, claws, and teeth. The bear looked angry. Tim wanted to run, but he was too weak. The hat, the coat, the scarf, and the boots were too heavy for him. He could not move. "Please don't hurt me," Tim said. "I'm sorry. I was just playing." The bear snorted. "Playing? You are wearing my clothes. You are whistling my song. You are in my home. You are not playing. You are stealing." Tim felt sorry. He did not mean to steal. He did not know the wardrobe was the bear's home. He did not know the song was the bear's song. He did not know the clothes were the bear's clothes. He wished he had listened to his mom and dad and stopped whistling. "Please let me go," Tim said. "I will take off your clothes. I will stop whistling. I will never come back." The bear thought for a moment. He saw that Tim was a small boy. He saw that Tim was afraid. He saw that Tim was sorry. He decided to be kind. "Okay," the bear said. "You can go. But remember, this is my wardrobe. This is my song. These are my clothes. Do not come back. And do not whistle so much. It is annoying." Tim nodded. He quickly took off the hat, the coat, the scarf, and the boots. He thanked the bear and ran out of the wardrobe. He closed the door behind him. He ran to his mom and dad and hugged them. He told them what happened. They were surprised and relieved. They told him he was lucky. They told him he should be careful. They told him he should whistle less. Tim agreed. He learned his lesson. He still liked to whistle, but he whistled less. He whistled only when he was happy, not when he was curious. He whistled only in his room, not in the wardrobe. He whistled only his own song, not the bear's song. He whistled softly, not loudly. He whistled wisely, not foolishly. He whistled happily, not annoyingly. He whistled like a boy, not like a bear.

Lila was a kid who liked to play with flowers. She liked to smell them, touch them, and make crowns with them. But she had to be careful, because flowers were delicate. They could break or wilt if she was rough with them. One day, Lila saw a big, bright sunflower in the garden. She wanted to pick it and take it home. She ran to the sunflower and reached for it. But her mom saw her and said, "No, Lila, don't do that. That sunflower is not ours. It belongs to the old lady who lives here. She loves her flowers very much. We have to respect them and leave them alone." Lila felt sad and angry. She really wanted the sunflower. She thought it was the most beautiful flower in the world. She tried to resist her mom and pull the sunflower. She said, "But I want it, mom. I want it. Please, please, please." Her mom shook her head and held her hand. She said, "Lila, I know you like the sunflower, but you can't have it. It's not nice to take things that are not yours. How would you feel if someone took your favorite toy or your favorite book? You would be very sad, right? The old lady would be very sad too if you took her sunflower. And the sunflower would be very sad too if you broke it. It needs to stay in the ground, where it can get water and sun and grow." Lila looked at the sunflower and saw that it was smiling at her. She realized that her mom was right. She didn't want to make anyone sad. She wanted to make everyone happy. She let go of the sunflower and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, sunflower. You are very pretty, but you are not mine. I will not touch you. I will just look at you and say hello." Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "That's very good, Lila. I'm proud of you. You are a kind and respectful kid. And you know what? I have a surprise for you. I bought some seeds for you. You can plant them in our backyard and grow your own flowers. Then you can play with them as much as you want. How does that sound?" Lila's eyes lit up. She said, "Really, mom? Thank you, thank you, thank you. That sounds wonderful. I love you, mom. I love flowers. And I love sunflowers too. Even if they are not mine."
