Emma’s Kite Day
Emma and May were excited for their trip to the park. "It's so windy today!" May exclaimed as they stepped outside. Emma nodded, "Perfect for flying kites!" At the park, Emma helped May unroll their colorful kite. The wind tugged at it eagerly. "Hold on tight!" Emma advised. May gripped the string as the kite soared high into the sky. It dipped and swirled, dancing with the clouds. Suddenly, a strong gust yanked the string from May's hands. "Oh no!" she cried. Emma quickly ran after it, jumping and reaching. Just as the kite was about to fly away, Emma caught the string. "Got it!" she shouted triumphantly. The sisters laughed and spent the rest of the afternoon taking turns flying their kite in the breezy park.
