How The Little Kite Learned To Fly?

By Katherine Pyle

"I never can do it." the little kite said,

As he looked at the others high over his head.

"I know I should fall if I tried to fly."

"Try," said the big kite, "only try!

Or I fear you never will learn at all."

But the little kite said: "I'm afraid I'll fall."

The big kite said: "Ah, well, good-bye;

I am off." And he rose towards the sky.

Then the little kite's paper stirred(微动）.

And he shook himself free for flight.

First whirling(回旋）and scared, then bravery grown,

Up, up he rose through the air alone,

While far below he could see the ground,

And the boys like small ants moving round.
