Sam had a red kite with a long blue tail. One windy day the string slipped from his hand. The kite flew over the park, over the pond, and into a tall oak tree. Sam sat on the grass and felt sad. Then an old man with a ladder walked by. He climbed up, smiled, and handed the kite back. "Hold on tight," he said. Sam did, and the red kite danced in the sky all afternoon.
