3. Read the poem and answer the following questions.

Then how the little kite thrilled with pride,

As he sailed with the big kite side by side!

While far below he could see the ground,

And the boys like small spots moving around.

They rested high in the quiet air,

And only the birds and the clouds were there.

“ Oh, how happy I am!” the little kite cried,

“ And all because I was brave, and tried.”
