The Windy-Day Kite

On a breezy Saturday morning, Maia took her bright yellow kite to the beach with her cousin Charlotte. The kite swooped high above the sand. Suddenly, a strong gust pulled it from Maia’s hands. It sailed over the dunes and caught in a flax bush. Maia and Charlotte hurried over. The bush was prickly, and the kite’s tail was tangled in the leaves. Charlotte held the branches apart while Maia carefully freed the tail. Then they checked the kite. One corner was torn, so they used a strip of tape from Maia’s bag to mend it. Back on the open sand, Maia held the kite while Charlotte ran into the wind. The kite lifted again and danced across the sky. Maia smiled. They had solved the problem by working together, and now they knew to hold the kite tightly when the wind gusted.
