Steve and the Kite
Steve ran fast and loved the wind. He brought a red kite to the hill.
"You hold the string," he said. "I will run. When I shout, let out a little line."
The kite wobbled, then climbed. Rose's heart beat fast — but it felt exciting, not scary.
"You're doing it!" Steve called.
Rose grinned. The kite danced like a flag in the sky.
