I often sit and wish that I
Could be a kite up in the sky,
And ride upon the breeze and go
Whichever way I chanced to blow.

Story:
Sundari was a big red,
white and blue kite.
When Bobby made her
she smiled at him.
“You are beautiful and I
will call you Sundari,” he
said.
One day, Bobby took
Sundari to the fair. The band was playing and everyone was smiling.
A merry-go-round was playing a happy little tune. It
was carrying lots of boys and girls round and round on
its wooden animals. Bobby looked for an open space where he could run
and fly his kite. Sundari looked too.
Out in the grass ran Bobby, holding up his kite as high
as he could. Puff! The wind
c ame a l o n g .
Sundari started
to fly up! But she
could not go very
high. A little dog
was holding on
to her long tail.
It was in his mouth.
Bobby shooed the dog away.
“We’ll try again,” Bobby said.
This time Sundari leaped up in the air. She tugged
hard. Oh, how she wanted Bobby to let go of her string!
She gave a big tug. Bobby had to let her go.
“Wheee!” cried Sundari. “Now I can fly as high as I
please!”
