All in one

BY MANVEER SINGH

' I never do it,' the little Kite said,

As he looked at the others high over his head;

'I know I should fall if tried to fly.'

' Try,' said the big Kite,'only try!

Or I fear you never will learn at all.'

But the little Kite said, 'I'm afraid I'll fall.

The big Kite nodded:'Ah, well,good bye;

I'm off',and he rose towards the tranquil sky.

Then the little Kite's paper stirred at the sight

And trembling he shook himself free for flight.

First whirling and frightened,then braver grown,

Up,up he rose through the air alone,

Till the big Kite,looking down,could see

The little one rising steadly.

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 round.

They rested high in the quite air,

And only the birds and clouds were there.

'Oh,how happy I am!' the little Kite cried;

'And all because I was brave,and tried.'
