Features: Mommy misses me. The kindergarten is on vacation. Mingming has to stay home alone. Birds fly freely in the sky. One bird flies towards Mingming. The bird tilts its head, looking this way and that, then looks at Mingming and says, "Do you want to fly in the sky? It's so much fun up there." Mingming nods, but then shakes his head quickly. "No, I don't have wings. I can't fly." The bird says, "It's okay. I can turn you into a bird and let you fly in the sky, but you must come back before dark, or Mommy will worry."
"Is it really fun to turn into a bird? Can I really fly up into the sky?" "Yes, you close your eyes and say loudly, 'Let me turn into a bird and fly up into the sky!' " Mingming follows its words and says them out loud. When he opens his eyes again, he has already turned into a bird, and the little horse has turned into Mingming, lying on the windowsill watching him laugh. "Don't be afraid, spread your wings and fly bravely!" Mingming jumps up with all his might, flapping his wings vigorously. Wow! He really takes off. Looking down from the sky, he sees the tall buildings in the city, the fields in the countryside, older brothers and sisters reading in the classroom, traffic police on duty, and an old lady walking her dog. The streets are packed with cars, tangled overpasses, and large billboards. The higher he flies, the farther he goes, and the happier he becomes.
As the sky gradually darkens, the bird mother calls her little bird home. Mingming misses his Mommy very much. The little bird misses its Mommy too. What will happen next? How will they find their mothers? Can you continue the story for us? Both parents and children love to hear it.
The reluctant-to-go home Candy Mommy goes to the kindergarten on time to pick up the little rabbit Candy. Candy doesn't want to go home and wants to play longer. Mommy says, "You have two more months until you start elementary school. You should go home to practice writing and recognizing characters. You can't play for too long." The little rabbit gets angry and says, "If you won't even let me play for a little while, what kind of Mommy are you?" Then he argues about going to the squirrel's house to play. The rabbit Mommy says, "You can go play at the squirrel's house, but you must be home by seven o'clock." However, the squirrel's house is so much fun with many toys, puzzles, and animation CDs. Once he starts playing, Candy forgets everything else. As the sky darkens, the rabbit Mommy circles around her own building's entrance, but she doesn't see her little rabbit coming back. The squirrels get tired of playing and want to sleep. Squirrel Mommy tries to persuade Candy to come back the next day, but Candy doesn't want to leave. The rabbit Mommy becomes very anxious. She looks at her watch and sees it's already half past seven. She has no choice but to go to the squirrel's house and angrily drag Candy back home.
The next day, when Candy comes out of the kindergarten, he goes to the little cat Meimei's house. He plays hide-and-seek with Meimei, plays with the ball, and stays up very late. It's time for Meimei to take a bath, so Meimei's Mommy calls the rabbit Mommy to come and take Candy home.
"Today is Sunday! I can play at my friends' houses all day!" Candy shouts as soon as he gets out of bed. After getting up, he doesn't wash his face or brush his teeth, ignores his breakfast, and runs straight to the squirrel's house. When the squirrel opens the door and sees it's the little rabbit Candy, he says, "I'm painting today. You can..."
