Jimmy was about to eat it, when his Mom rushed over to him. "Jimmy", she said, "we don't know where that chocolate came from. We have to give it back to the person who dropped it." Jimmy was sad, but he knew his Mom was right. He wrapped the chocolate up carefully, and the two of them started walking around the park, looking for the person who'd dropped it. Suddenly, they heard the sound of laughter. It was a little girl, and she was wearing an attractive pink dress. She was running and giggling, until she slipped and began to cry. "She must have dropped the chocolate!", Jimmy's Mom exclaimed. She ran over and handed the little girl the chocolate bar. The little girl was so happy; she hugged Jimmy and thanked them both. Jimmy felt proud of himself for being brave and doing the right thing. His Mom smiled. Someday, she thought, the whole park will be filled with caring, generous children like Jimmy.

Sara loved her bird, Blue. Blue was a famous bird who could sing many songs. Sara taught him to say "I love you" and "Hello". Blue lived in a big cage in Sara's room. He was happy there, but he also liked to fly outside sometimes. One day, Sara opened the cage to give Blue some seeds. She forgot to close the door. Blue saw a window and flew out. He wanted to see the sky and the trees. Sara saw him and shouted, "Blue, come back!" But Blue did not hear her. He was too far away. He saw other birds and followed them. He sang with them and had fun. He did not think about Sara or his cage. Sara was very sad. She cried and cried. She missed Blue a lot. She looked for him everywhere, but she could not find him. She asked her mom and dad to help her, but they did not know where Blue was. The next day, Sara heard a familiar sound. It was Blue's voice. He was singing one of his songs. She ran to the window and saw him. He was on a branch near her house. He saw her too and said, "Hello, Sara. I love you." Sara was so happy. She opened the window and called him. "Blue, come here. I missed you so much. Please come back to your cage." Blue remembered Sara and his cage. He loved Sara too. He flew to her and landed on her shoulder. He gave her a kiss and said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I wanted to see the world, but I missed you more. I'm happy to be back in your cage." Sara hugged him and said, "I'm happy too, Blue. You are my best friend. I will never let you go again."

Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Kate. She loved playing outside in her garden with her friends. One day, when she went outside, she saw a cute vine growing across the fence. She thought it was really pretty. So, she decided to pick off the little purple flowers and give them to her friends as a present. She was so excited that she ran inside to look for some scissors to cut the vine, so she could take all of the flowers. But her mom said that she couldn't cut the vine, so she kept looking around the garden and finally, she found some string. Kate carefully wrapped the string around the vine and made a nice, tight knot. Then she closed the knot with her little fingers and the vine was in one big bundle. She smiled and gathered up the bundle of flowers. All of her friends were so happy to receive the cute bundle of flowers. Kate went back outside and carefully cut the string and opened the vine.

Anna and Ben 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.

Ben said, showing a plate of bread and cheese and tomato. "It is very hot and cheesy!" They wanted to try each other's food, so they swapped plates. But when they tasted them, they made funny faces. "Yuck, this is not a cake!" Anna said, spitting out the flour. "This is wet and sticky!" "Yuck, this is not a pizza!" Ben said, pushing away the bread. "This is cold and hard!" They looked at each other and started to laugh. They realized they were not very good chefs. They were humble and said sorry. "Sorry, Anna, I did not make a good pizza," Ben said.

Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big pool of water and some toys. They liked to splash each other and make waves. "Look, Lily, I can splash you with this bucket!" Tim said. He filled the bucket with water and threw it at Lily. "Hey, that's not fair!" Lily said. She got wet and cold. She grabbed a hose and sprayed Tim with water. They laughed and ran around the pool. They had so much fun that they did not see the hedge. The hedge was green and prickly. It had some flowers and berries. It was also home to some birds and bugs. Tim and Lily bumped into the hedge. They felt the prickles on their skin and the bugs on their hair. They heard the birds chirping and the bees buzzing. "Ow, ow, ow!" Tim and Lily said.

"Are you okay, my darlings?" Mama and Papa asked. "We're sorry, Mama and Papa. We were playing and we did not see the hedge. It hurt us and made us dizzy." Tim and Lily said. "It's okay, my darlings. We're glad you're safe. Let's go inside and clean your wounds. Then you can have some juice and cookies." Mama and Papa said. Tim and Lily nodded. They held Mama and Papa's hands and walked to the house. They still felt dizzy, but they also felt happy and loved.

Sara and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog had a red ball in his mouth. He looked cool and fun. "Can we play with the dog?" Sara asked Tom. "I don't know. Maybe he is not nice. Maybe he will bite us," Tom said. Sara was not afraid. She loved dogs. She walked to the dog and said, "Hello, dog. Can I pet you? Can I play with your ball?" The dog wagged his tail. He dropped the ball and licked Sara's face. He was very friendly. Sara laughed and threw the ball. The dog ran after it and brought it back. Sara and the dog played catch. Tom watched them. He was still scared. He did not believe the dog was nice. He stayed away from the dog. He did not want to touch his paw or his fur. Sara and the dog had a lot of fun. They ran and jumped and rolled on the grass. Sara was happy. She said, "You are a good dog. You are my new friend. What is your name?" The dog barked. He did not have a name. He did not have a home. He was alone. Sara felt sad for the dog. She said, "You can come with me. You can be my dog. I will give you a name. I will call you Spot. Do you like that?" The dog barked again. He liked that. He liked Sara. He followed her to her house. He was not alone anymore. Tom saw Sara and the dog leave. He felt sorry. He missed his chance to play with the dog. He wished he was not scared. He wished he believed the dog was nice. He wished he had a new friend too.

"Mom, do we have to pay the doctor?" Sara asked. "Yes, we do. We have to pay him with money for his work. He helps us when we are sick," mom said. "Can we pay him with something else? Like candy or toys?" Ben wondered. "No, we can't. He only takes money. That's how he buys his own candy and toys," mom explained. They went to the front desk and mom gave the lady some money. The lady gave mom a paper and a sticker for Sara and Ben. They said thank you and goodbye to the doctor and the lady. On the way home, mom stopped at the store and bought some juice and crackers for Sara and Ben. She also bought some lemons for herself. "Mom, why do you buy lemons? They are sour and yucky," Sara said. "I like lemons. They are good for my throat. And they are not yucky, they are tasty," mom said. "Can I try one?" Ben asked. "Sure, but be careful. They are very sour," mom warned. Ben took a small bite of a lemon and made a funny face. He spit it out and said, "Blech! That's sour! I don't like lemons!" Sara laughed and said, "I told you so! You should be more patient and listen to mom. She knows what's good for you." Mom smiled and said, "That's right. Sometimes you have to be patient and try new things. Maybe you will like them when you grow up. Now, let's go home and rest. You both need some sleep to get well."

He put down his book and walked with them to the water. He pointed to the fin and said, "That's not a shark, kids. That's a dolphin. Dolphins are friendly and smart. They like to play and jump and make noises. They are not like sharks, who are mean and hungry and bite." Ben and Lily looked again and saw that the fin was not alone. There were more fins, and they could see the dolphins' faces and tails. They heard them squeak and whistle. They saw them leap and splash. They realized their dad was right. They felt silly and happy. "Can we play with the dolphins, dad?" they asked. Their dad nodded and said, "Sure, but be careful and modest. Don't get too close or bother them.
