LESSON 15 SUNDARI
Sundari was a big red, white and blue kite. When Bobby made her, she smiled at him.
"You are beautiful and I will call you Sundari," he said.
One day, Bobby took Sundari to the fair.
The band was playing and everyone was smiling.
A merry-go-round was playing a happy little tune.
It was carrying lots of boys and girls round and round on its wooden animals.
Bobby looked for an open space where he could run and fly his kite. Sundari looked too.
Out in the grass ran Bobby, holding up his kite as high as he could.
Puff! The wind came along. Sundari started to fly up! But she could not go very high. A little dog was holding on to her long tail. It was in his mouth.
Bobby shooed the dog away. "We'll try again," Bobby said.
This time Sundari leaped up in the air. She tugged hard. Oh, how she wanted Bobby to let go of her string! She gave a big tug. Bobby had to let her go.
"Wheee!" cried Sundari. “Now I can fly as high as I please!" And away she went. She flew up, up, up in the air.
सुंदरी एक बड़ी लाल, सफेद और नीली पतंग थी। जब बॉबी ने उसे बनाया, तो वह उस पर मुस्कुराया। "तुम सुंदर हो और मैं तुम्हें सुंदरी कहूंगा," उसने कहा। एक दिन बॉबी सुंदरी को मेले में ले गया। बैंड बज रहा था और सब मुस्कुरा रहे थे।
मेरी-गो-राउंड(एक तरह का झूला) एक खुशनुमा धुन बजा रहा था। यह अपने लकड़ी के जानवरों पर बहुत सारे लड़के और लड़कियों को गोल-गोल घुमा रहा था।
बॉबी ने एक खुली जगह की तलाश की जहां वह दौड़ सके और अपनी पतंग उड़ा सके।
सुंदरी ने भी देखा।
बॉबी घास में दौड़ा, उसने अपनी पतंग को जितना हो सके ऊपर उठाया।
पफ! हवा साथ आई। सुंदरी उड़ने लगी! लेकिन वह बहुत ऊपर नहीं जा सकी।
एक छोटा कुत्ता उसकी लंबी पूंछ को पकड़े हुए था। यह उसके मुंह में था।
बॉबी ने कुत्ते को भगाया। "हम फिर से कोशिश करेंगे," बॉबी ने कहा।
इस बार सुंदरी ने हवा में छलांग लगा दी। उसने जोर से थपथपाया। ओह, वह कैसे चाहती थी कि बॉबी अपने तार को जाने दे! उसने झटका देकर खींचा । बॉबी को उसे जाने देना पड़ा।
"व्ही!" सुंदरी रोई। "अब मैं जितना चाहूं उतनी ऊंची उड़ान भर सकती हूं!"
और वह चली गई। वह ऊपर, ऊपर, ऊपर हवा में उड़ गई।
