very%u00a0angry. It looked at the other kites going higher and higher. %u201cLet me go up, up, up and touch the sky,%u201d thought the kite. So it tugged very hard and before Tinku could do anything the string snapped !Tinku saw his kite sailing up and up into the air. He ran hoping that it would come down. But it flew higher into the sky. He was very sad. He had lost his beautiful yellow kite. He went home crying.But the kite didn%u2019t care. It said proudly, %u201c I am now free to go where I wish. I shall fly high and touch the sky.%u201d The kite was simply delighted that it did not belong to anyone. But suddenly the wind stopped blowing and the kite stopped flying. It came down, down, down to the Earth and dived straight into a small pond. The kite was cold and wet. %u201cOh!%u201d said the kite, %u201cI am sinking.%u201d It wanted to fly. Now it wished that Tinku would come and save it. But Tinku was nowhere around!A little dog came by and saw the kite in the pond and brought it out. The dog scratchedthe kite with his paws and left it on the bank. The kite lay there with two big holes in it. Soon the sun and the wind dried the kite. Then there was a sudden gust of wind. The wind lifted the kite and off it went with its tail behind it.The kite was very excited. It was in the sky again. %u201cI shall not go down again. I shall go up till I reach the moon. And I will stay up there,%u201d it said.But very soon, it dipped again and fell into a garbage bin.A little later, the wind lifted it up again. But now, it did not have a tail. The tail got cut and was left behind in the bin!What was it that the kite did not care about?What happened after the sun and wind dried the kite?54 Arrow-Puffin-3_Semester-1 English
