Tim, a 10yo boy, happily holding a red and yellow kite with long, flowing ribbons in a sunny village
On a sunny day in a small village, Tim, a little boy, built a colorful kite with his father. The kite was red and yellow with long, flowing ribbons. Tim was excited to fly it during the town’s Kite Festival. But the kite had other thoughts. “I’m too scared to fly high,” said the kite in a tiny whisper.

Tim held the string and smiled, whispering back, “Don’t worry, little kite. I’ll hold the string tightly. You’ll never be alone.” As Tim ran across the field, the wind lifted the kite into the air. At first, it wobbled and shook, frightened of the height. But Tim kept encouraging it.

As it soared higher, the kite saw the beauty of the world—the sparkling river, green hills, and children laughing below. “This isn’t so scary after all!” the kite said. It started dancing in the wind, twirling and swooping. Tim laughed, cheering it on. The kite even spotted an eagle soaring nearby.

“Hello, brave kite!” the eagle said. “You’re flying like a champion!” By the end of the festival, Tim’s kite won a ribbon for “Most Spirited Flyer.” As the sun set, the kite whispered, “Thank you, Tim, for believing in me. I’m not afraid anymore.” Tim smiled, “We make a great team, little kite.”
