Stick man looked up high. Birds flew across the sky. He wished he could fly too.

Stick man jumped very high. His feet stayed on the ground. He flapped his thin arms.

Stick man sat down low. He watched the clouds pass by. He felt a small sigh.

A bright red shape flew. It danced on the soft breeze. Stick man looked and saw.

He walked to the red thing. It was a big, bright kite. Stick man touched its tail.

He found the kite string. Stick man held it tight. A wind blew soft and strong.

The kite pulled with power. It tugged Stick man high. He laughed a happy laugh.

Stick man held on fast. The kite flew him up, up! Higher than the green trees.

He could see all below. The whole world looked so small. Stick man was flying free!

He floated down so slow. Stick man smiled a big smile. He learned how to fly!
