Mia had a red kite with a long yellow tail. On a windy day, she ran to the park with her dad.

The kite flew up, up, up. Then the wind blew very hard. The string slipped out of Mia’s hand! The kite danced away over the trees.

Mia and her dad followed it. They walked past the pond and the big swings. At last they found the kite in a small apple tree. A friendly girl called Zara helped them pull it down.

“Can I fly it with you?” asked Zara. Mia smiled. “Yes! Let’s hold the string together.”

In a corner of the school garden, Priya planted a tiny seed. It was so small that it looked like a speck of dust. Her friend Tom laughed. “Nothing will grow from that,” he said.

Every morning, Priya gave the seed a little water. For many days, nothing happened. Priya felt worried, but she did not give up. Then one morning she saw a tiny green shoot poking out of the soil.

The shoot grew taller every week. It grew leaves as big as hands, and then a bud appeared at the top. One sunny day, the bud opened into a huge yellow sunflower, taller than Tom!

Tom stared up at it. “I was wrong,” he said. “Small things can become amazing.” Priya grinned and gave him some seeds from the flower to plant.
