In the poem, the little kite was afraid to fly high because she thought she might fall. She watched the big kite soar safely into the sky and felt afraid.

But the big kite encouraged the little kite to try. Finally, the little kite gathered her courage, shook herself, and bravely took off with a little fright.

As she ascended, the little kite saw the ground in the distance, the children as dots, the birds flying by, and the sky all around her. She felt happy and proud because she had overcome her fear: that’s how she learned to fly!
