“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.
