“The Story of Kite”

The sun shone brightly and the west breeze blew, the

kite was flying this way and that way tied to her string.

Suddenly the string snapped. The kite was free. She soared

high in the air until she could see far, far away. The kite

followed some parrots who took her to see the rainforests.

The air was cool and the kite got wet. The kite followed some

crocodiles who took her to see the rivers. The air was misty

and the kite caught a fish. The kite followed some wallabies

who took her to see the deserts. The air was hot and the kite

got tired. So the kite followed the sun who took her back

home, right to her string.
