Lila the rabbit had a new kite with all the colours of the rainbow. Bruno the bear wanted to fly it too.
"It's mine!" said Lila, and she held the string tight.
Lila ran and ran, but the kite kept falling down. It is hard to fly a kite all on your own.
Bruno sat on a rock and watched. He looked sad.
Lila had an idea. "Bruno, can you hold the kite up high while I run?"
Bruno held it up, Lila ran, and whoosh! The kite flew up into the sky.
They took turns: Lila held the string while Bruno counted to fifty, and then it was Bruno's turn.
"Sharing makes it twice the fun," said Lila. And the kite danced in the wind all afternoon.
