📜 Read it aloud

On a windy Sunday, my family went to Marina Barrage.

The sky was full of kites — dragons, birds and rainbows.

I held my kite while Dad ran with the string.

The wind lifted it higher and higher.

Suddenly, the string broke!

My kite danced away over the water.

I felt sad, but Dad laughed.

"Now your kite is truly free," he said.

"It will explore the sky like a bird."

I watched until the little kite was just a dot in the clouds.

Maybe it is flying to another country now.
