 How the Little Kite Learned to Fly

“ I can never do it,”the little kite said.

As he looked at the others high over his
head;
“I know I should fall if I try to fly”.
“Try said,” said the big kite;only try!
“Or I fear you will never learn at all,”
But the little kite said ,I’m afraid I’ll fall
The big kite nodded;Ah well,goodbye;
I’m off,” and he rose toward the tranquil sky
 Then the little kite’s paper stirred at the sight,
And trembling he shook himself free for fight,
First whirling and frightened,then braver grown,
Up,up the kite rose through the air alone,
Till the big kite looking down could see
The little one rising steadily.

And 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”.

What is the little kite afraid of doing?
