Lily and the Lost Kite
Lily loved to play outside. One sunny afternoon, she went to the big green park with her new red kite. She ran and ran, holding onto the string. Up, up, up went the kite! It danced in the blue sky. Suddenly, a big gust of wind came. "Oh no!" cried Lily. The string slipped from her hand. The kite flew higher and higher, then landed in a tall oak tree. Lily felt sad. She tried to reach it, but it was too high. Just then, her friend Sam walked by. "What's wrong, Lily?" he asked. Lily told him about her lost kite. Sam had a long stick. He used it to gently poke the kite until it fell down. "Thank you, Sam!" Lily said with a big smile. They played with the red kite together for the rest of the afternoon.
