Go Fly A Kite |
"Let’s go!" her grandfather shouted.
Down to the beach they went. A lot of their adventures took
place at the beach. It was a very windy day. Perfect for kite flying - or
so they thought.
Rachel ran down the beach with the kite and then held
it tight. Her grandfather yelled "Let go!" as he pulled hard on the string.
But it was so windy that Rachel didn’t hear him.
Her Grandfather called to Rachel. "OK. Your turn to
fly the kite!" But when he looked around, he couldn’t see Rachel anywhere.
There were no trees for her to hide behind. Where could she be?
Waaayyyyyy up.
He could just see Rachel peeking over the end of the
kite.
She was flying!
"Rachel! Get down here!"
But Rachel could not get down. Her grandfather started to reel
in the kite. But just as she was getting close to the ground - the string broke!
The kite flew up, up, up with Rachel still holding tight!
Her grandpa was running down the beach after her. "Come
back here Rachel!"
The kite headed straight for an apartment building.
She flew right into an open window and through a living
room where a man sat eating pop-corn and watching a football game.
"Yikes" yelled the man. He was so surprised that his
pop-corn flew all over the room.
Down the hall Rachel flew. There was a lady just coming
out of the bathroom.
"Yikes" yelled the lady. She was so scared that she
jumped up in the air and her feet landed in the toilet.
Rachel flew through the bedroom where there was a little
baby sitting in a crib.
The baby laughed when Rachel flew by.
She was heading straight for the zoo!
Vroom!!!
Through the lion's den she flew. They jumped up at her but
she was flying too fast.
Vroom!!!
Through the monkey's cage she flew. She knocked one monkey
right out of a tree.
She flew right between the legs of a big giraffe!
She was headed for the elephants. One big elephant lifted
his trunk and caught Rachel by the leg. He put Rachel on his back just as
31 police cars and 9 fire trucks pulled up.
"Get me down from here," yelled Rachel.
Rachel gave her grandpa a big hug.
"Grandpa! You always have the best ideas!
What are we going to do next week?"
Rachel was very excited. Her grandfather took her on a
special adventure every Saturday and he said that he had a big surprise
for her today. Out of his trunk he pulled the biggest kite Rachel had ever
seen!
"OK Rachel, you hold the kite and I'll pull it into the
sky."
Then he looked up.
"Get me down!" yelled Rachel.
Vroom!!!
Vroom!!!
Vroom!!!
Right out the bedroom window Rachel flew. By this time
there were nine police cars and three fire engines chasing Rachel.
Vroom!!!
Vroom!!!
One of the fire trucks put out its ladder and a firefighter
climbed up to lift Rachel down.
