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.
"Oh,
how happy I am!" the little kite cried.
"And
all because I was brave and tried."
