Banu Flies a Kite

One sunny afternoon, Banu was flying her kite in the park. She watched it climb
higher and higher into the sky. Her kitten watched the kite in the air.
“Look at my kite, Kitty!” Kitty ran to a tall tree.

her kite, but it was too late! Her kite got tangled in the tree’s branches. Banu stared
up at her kite. How could she get it down? Banu tried pulling on her kite string but
the kite wouldn’t come down.
