Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were in a castle. They used their blankets and pillows to make a fort. They also used their mom's old curtain to make a fancy dress for Lily. "Look at me, Ben. I am a princess!" Lily said. She twirled around in the curtain. It was pink and had flowers on it. "You are very pretty, Lily. But your dress is too long. You will trip on it," Ben said. He was worried about his sister. "I don't care. I like it this way. It makes me feel special," Lily said. She did not want to change her dress. "Let me measure it for you. Then we can cut it and make it fit better," Ben said. He was good at measuring things. He used a ruler and a scissors that mom gave him. "No, Ben. Don't cut my dress. It will ruin it. It is perfect the way it is," Lily said. She did not want to lose her curtain. But Ben did not listen. He grabbed the curtain and started to measure it. Lily tried to stop him. They pulled and tugged on the curtain. They did not see mom coming into the room. "Hey, what are you doing with my curtain?" mom asked. She was surprised and angry. She saw the ruler and the scissors in Ben's hand. She saw the curtain in Lily's hand. She saw the mess they made. "Mom, we are sorry. We were playing castle. Lily wanted a fancy dress. I wanted to measure it for her. But she did not let me. We did not mean to hurt your curtain," Ben said. He was scared of mom. "Mom, we are sorry. We were playing castle. I liked your curtain. It was beautiful. I wanted to be a princess. But Ben wanted to cut it. I did not want him to. We did not mean to make you mad," Lily said. She was sad and sorry. Mom sighed. She was not happy. But she saw their faces. They looked sorry. They did not know better. They were only kids. "OK, I forgive you. But you have to promise me something. Never play with my curtain again. And never use scissors without my permission. They are dangerous. Do you understand?" mom said. "Yes, mom. We understand. We promise. We are sorry," Ben and Lily said. They hugged mom. Mom smiled. She hugged them back. She loved them. She was glad they were safe. She decided to buy them a new curtain. And a real dress for Lily. And a book for Ben. And maybe some cookies for everyone.

Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their big house. They had many toys and books and games, but their favorite thing was to pretend they were ghosts. They would put white sheets over their heads and say "Boo!" to each other and to their mom and dad. One night, they decided to play ghosts after bedtime. They waited until their mom and dad were asleep, then they got out of their beds and put on their sheets. They tiptoed down the hall, looking for a good place to scare each other. "Let's go to the attic," Tom whispered. "It's dark and spooky there." "OK," Lily agreed. "But be careful, there might be real ghosts there." They climbed the stairs to the attic and opened the door. It was very dark and dusty, and they could hear strange noises. They saw old boxes and furniture and clothes, and some things they did not know what they were. They walked around, trying to find a good hiding spot. Tom saw a big trunk and thought it would be a good place to lie down and wait for Lily. He opened the lid and got inside, pulling the sheet over him. He giggled to himself, thinking how he would scare Lily when she came near. Lily saw a big mirror and thought it would be a good place to stand and pretend she was a ghost. She walked up to the mirror and looked at herself. She saw her white sheet and her eyes and mouth, and she thought she looked very scary. She smiled and said "Boo!" to herself. Then she heard a loud thump behind her. She turned around and saw the trunk lid slam shut. She heard Tom scream from inside. She ran to the trunk and tried to open it, but it was locked. She banged on it and shouted "Tom, Tom, are you OK?" Tom heard Lily's voice and felt very scared. He realized he was trapped in the trunk and he could not get out. He felt something cold and wet touch his leg. He screamed again and said "Help, help, there's a ghost in here!" Lily heard Tom's cry and felt very sorry. She wished she could help him, but she did not know how. She looked around and saw a key hanging on the wall. She grabbed it and ran to the trunk. She put the key in the lock and turned it. The trunk lid opened and Tom jumped out. He hugged Lily and said "Thank you, thank you, you saved me!" Lily hugged Tom and said "You're welcome, you're welcome, I'm sorry you were scared!" They looked inside the trunk and saw what had touched Tom's leg. It was a wet rag that had fallen from a shelf. They laughed and realized it was not a ghost, just a rag. They decided they had enough of playing ghosts for one night. They took off their sheets and ran back to their beds. They snuggled under their blankets and said good night to each other. They were happy they were safe and together. They fell asleep and dreamed of happy things.

Sam and Mia hear a loud boom. It is thunder. They see a flash. It is lightning. They are scared. They run to the tree. They want to hide under the swing. "Let's hang on the swing," Sam says. "Maybe the rain will not get us." "OK," Mia says. "But be careful. The swing is wet and slippery." They hang on the swing. They hold tight. They close their eyes. They hear the rain. It is loud and fast. It hits the ground and the leaves. It makes puddles. The wind blows. It shakes the tree. It moves the swing. Sam and Mia feel the swing go up and down. They open their eyes. They see the sky. It is still gray and dark. They see the rain. It is still loud and fast. They are not scared anymore. They are happy. They like the swing. They like the rain. They smile at each other. "Let's swing in the rain!" Sam says. "Let's swing in the rain!" Mia says. They let go of the swing. They sit on the seat. They push each other. They laugh. They swing in the rain.

Cream truck!" Lily says. She runs to the truck with her money. "Wait for me, Lily!" Ben says. He runs after her, but he is slower. Lily gets to the truck first.

She licks the cream. It tastes good. Ben gets to the truck second. He gives his money to the man and says, "One cone, please." The man frowns and says, "Sorry, kid. I have no more cream. Only hot sauce." Ben looks at the man. He looks at the bottle of red sauce. He looks at Lily. She is eating her cream and smiling. "Hot sauce?" Ben says. He does not like hot sauce. It is red and hot and spicy. "Yes, hot sauce. Take it or leave it," the man says. Ben does not want to take it. He does not want to leave it. He wants cream. He feels sad and angry. He says to Lily, "Give me your cream!" Lily says, "No! It is mine!" Ben tries to grab her cone. Lily pulls it away. They fight over the cone. The cream falls on the ground. The cone breaks.

One day, a hunter went to the forest to find some animals. He had a bow and some arrows, and he was very good at shooting. He saw a deer, a rabbit, and a fox, but he did not shoot them. He wanted to find a bigger animal, like a bear or a lion. He walked and walked, but he did not see any big animals. He only saw birds and squirrels and bugs. He was very sad, because he wanted to bring some meat to his family. He sat down under a big tree and sighed. "Hello, hunter," said a voice. The hunter looked up and saw a monkey sitting on a branch. The monkey had a banana in his hand and a smile on his face. "Hello, monkey," said the hunter. "What are you doing here?" "I live here, in the forest," said the monkey. "I like to eat bananas and play with my friends. What are you doing here?" "I came to find some animals to shoot," said the hunter. "But I did not find any big ones. I am very sad." "Why do you want to shoot the animals?" asked the monkey. "They are my friends. They do not want to die. They want to live and be happy, like me." The hunter felt sorry for the animals. He did not want to hurt them. He wanted to be their friend, too. He put down his bow and arrows and said, "You are right, monkey. I do not want to shoot the animals. I want to write about them. I want to tell their stories and make them happy." The monkey was very happy. He gave the hunter a banana and said, "That is a good idea, hunter. You can write about the animals and share their stories with your family. Maybe they will like the animals, too. And maybe they will like you more, too." The hunter thanked the monkey and took the banana. He found a big leaf and a stick and started to write. He wrote about the deer, the rabbit, the fox, the bear, the lion, and the monkey. He wrote about how they lived, what they ate, how they played, and how they felt. He wrote with his heart and his imagination. He was not sad anymore. He was happy. He had found a new way to enjoy the forest and the animals. He had found a new friend in the monkey. And he had found a new gift to give to his family. He had found his writing.

"Let's go up the hill and slide down on the paper!" Lila said. "OK, that looks fun!" Ben said. They ran up the hill and grabbed the paper. They held it under their feet and sat down. They pushed themselves off and started to slide down. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and shouted. But the paper was not strong.

Let me see the hook." She looked at the hook and saw that it was small and sharp. She said, "This is a hard hook, Sara. We need to be careful. Can you move your head a little?" Sara moved her head a little, but the veil was still stuck. She said, "It hurts, Lily, it hurts!" Lily said, "I know, Sara, I know. But you are brave, Sara. You can manage. I will be gentle, I promise." She took the veil and slowly lifted it over the hook. She said, "There, Sara, there. I did it. You are free!" Sara felt the veil come off her head.

Anna liked to play with her toy horse. She named him Spot, because he had a big black spot on his back. She liked to brush his long mane and tail, and pretend he was a real horse. She wished she could ride him, but he was too small. One day, her mom said, "Anna, I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see it?" Anna nodded and followed her mom to the car. She wondered what the surprise was. Maybe a new toy, or a cake, or a book. They drove for a long time, until they came to a big farm. Anna saw many animals, like cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens. She also saw some big horses in a field. They were brown, white, and black, and they had long manes and tails, just like Spot. "Look, Anna, this is the surprise," her mom said, and pointed to one of the horses. "This is Sunny. He is a very gentle and friendly horse. He belongs to my friend, who said you can ride him today. Do you want to try?" Anna felt scared and excited at the same time. She had never seen a real horse up close. She looked at Sunny, who was bigger than her dad. He had a white spot on his forehead, and he looked at her with kind eyes. "Hi, Sunny," Anna said softly, and reached out her hand. Sunny sniffed her hand, and nuzzled her cheek. Anna giggled, and stroked his nose. He felt warm and soft. "Are you ready, Anna?" her mom asked. "I'll help you get on Sunny, and we'll walk around the field. Don't worry, he won't go fast or run away. He likes you." Anna nodded, and her mom lifted her up and put her on Sunny's back. Anna felt very high and shaky. She held on to Sunny's mane, and her mom held the reins. "Okay, Sunny, let's go," her mom said, and they started to walk. Anna felt Sunny's muscles move under her, and his breath on her leg. She felt the wind in her hair, and the sun on her face. She looked around, and saw the other animals, the trees, the flowers, and the sky. She felt happy and brave. "This is fun, mom," Anna said. "I like Sunny. He's like a big Spot." Her mom smiled, and said, "I'm glad you like him, Anna. Maybe we can come back another day, and ride him again. Would you like that?" Anna nodded, and hugged Sunny's neck. She whispered in his ear, "Thank you, Sunny. You're a good horse. I love you." Sunny shook his head, and made a soft sound. He seemed to say, "You're welcome, Anna. You're a good rider. I love you too."

Anna and Ben were scared and ran to their mom. But the dog was faster and caught up with them. The dog bit Ben's shoulder and made him cry. Anna was angry and brave. She picked up a stick and hit the dog on the nose. The dog let go of Ben and ran away. "Are you okay, Ben?" Anna asked. "It hurts, Anna. The dog was bad," Ben said. "I know, Ben. I'm sorry. Mom will make it better," Anna said. Mom came and hugged them. She looked at Ben's shoulder and saw blood. She took out a band-aid and put it on Ben's shoulder. She kissed him and said, "You're a strong boy, Ben. I'm proud of you. And you're a good sister, Anna. You saved Ben from the dog. You're both very brave." "Thank you, Mom. We love you," Anna and Ben said. Mom smiled and said, "I love you too. Now let's go home and have some ice cream. And don't worry about the dog. He won't bother you again. I called the dog's owner and he said he will fix the fence and keep the dog inside." Anna and Ben were happy and relieved. They held Mom's hand and walked home. They did not look at the dog's house. They hoped they would never see the dog again. They learned that sometimes you have to escape from danger, but you can also fight back if you have to. And you always have your family to help you and love you.

But then, his dad came. He saw the ball and was angry. He said, "Tim, what did you do? You ruined the ball! This is not a toy, this is a basketball. You can't write on it. That is harsh. You have to say sorry and clean it." Tim was sad. He did not know he did something bad. He said, "Sorry, dad. I just wanted to write. I like to write. I did not mean to be harsh." His dad sighed. He said, "I know, Tim. Writing is good, but not on everything. You have to write on things that are for writing, like paper or chalkboard. Not on things that are for playing, like basketball or doll. Do you understand?" Tim nodded. He said, "Yes, dad. I understand. Can I help you clean the ball?" His dad smiled. He said, "Yes, Tim. You can help me. And then, maybe we can play with the ball together. How does that sound?" Tim smiled too. He said, "That sounds good, dad. I love you." He hugged his dad and they went to clean the ball. Tim learned a lesson. He still liked to write, but he was more careful. He wrote on things that were for writing, and he played with things that were for playing. He was happy.

You are too proud of your clothes and shoes," she said. Tom felt sad and hurt. He didn't like how Lily pointed at him and made fun of him. He was not proud, he was humble. He liked his clothes and shoes, but he also liked his friends. Suddenly, a big cloud came and it started to rain. Lily stopped jumping and splashing. She looked up and saw the rain. She got scared and cold. She ran to Tom and asked him for help. "Tom, please, can you share your coat with me? I am wet and cold and I don't like the rain," she said. Tom looked at Lily and saw her shiver. He felt sorry for her. He was humble and kind. He took off his coat and wrapped it around Lily. "Here, Lily, you can have my coat. I don't mind getting wet and cold. I hope you feel better," he said. Lily felt warm and grateful. She realized she was wrong to point at Tom and make fun of him.

You know how to play and how to be humble," she said. Tom smiled and hugged Lily. They walked together to find shelter from the rain. They learned a lesson that day.

"Where are we going?" Lily asked. "We are going to a big park with lots of flowers and animals," mom said. "And there will be music and food and games." "Wow, that sounds great!" Tom said. "Can we dance to the music?" "Of course, you can dance as much as you want," dad said. "But first, we have to find a place to park the car." They drove for a while and saw many other cars and people. The park was very crowded. They looked for a spot to park, but they could not find one. They drove around and around, but they only saw signs that said "No parking". Lily and Tom started to feel bored and hungry. They did not like being in the car for so long. They wanted to get out and see the park. "Mom, dad, when can we go to the park?" Lily asked. "Soon, honey, soon," mom said. "We just have to be patient and wait for a spot to open up." But no spot opened up. They kept driving and driving, but they did not get any closer to the park. The music and the food and the games seemed very far away. Lily and Tom started to cry. They did not want to be in the car anymore. They wanted to dance and play and eat. "Mom, dad, this is not fun," Tom said. "This is not a holiday. This is a bad day." Mom and dad felt sorry for Lily and Tom. They knew they were right. This was not a holiday. This was a bad day. They decided to give up and go back home. "OK, kids, we are sorry, but we have to go back home," dad said. "There is no parking here and we are wasting our time. Maybe we can try another day." Lily and Tom stopped crying. They were sad, but they understood. They hoped they could go to the park another day. They turned the car around and headed back home. On the way, they saw a small playground with a slide and a swing and a sandbox. There were no cars or people there. It looked empty and quiet. "Mom, dad, can we stop there?" Lily asked. "Can we play there for a while?" Mom and dad looked at each other and smiled. They thought it was a good idea. "Sure, why not?" mom said. "Let's go and have some fun." They parked the car and got out. They ran to the playground and started to play. They slid and swung and dug in the sand. They laughed and shouted and had a good time. They also saw a radio on a bench. Someone had left it there. It was playing some music. It was a happy and catchy song. "Look, music!" Tom said. "Can we dance to the music?" "Yes, let's dance!" Lily said. They grabbed each other's hands and started to dance. They danced and danced and danced. They forgot about the park and the car and the bad day. They only felt happy and free. Mom and dad watched them and joined them. They also danced and danced and danced. They felt happy and free too. They did not care that they did not go to the park. They did not care that they did not have food or games. They only cared that they had each other and they had fun. They realized that this was a holiday. This was a good day. This was the best day ever.
