twine tied to the front, one of the boys held the kite up in the air and
another boy walked off, unwinding the ball of twine.

There was a nice breeze blowing, so the boy with the twine called, "Let
'er go" and started running.

Marcella held Raggedy up so that she could watch the kite sail through
the air.

How nicely it climbed! But suddenly the kite acted strangely, and as all
the children shouted advice to the boy with the ball of twine, the kite
began darting this way and that, and finally making four or five
loop-the-loops, it crashed to the ground.

"It needs more tail on it!" one boy shouted.

Then the children asked each other where they might get more rags to
fasten to the tail of the kite.

"Let's tie Raggedy Ann to the tail!" suggested Marcella. "I know she
would enjoy a trip 'way up in the sky!"

The boys all shouted with delight at this new suggestion. So Raggedy Ann
was tied to the tail of the kite.

This time the kite rose straight in the air and remained steady. The boy
with the ball of twine unwound it until the kite and Raggedy Ann were
'way, 'way up and far away. How Raggedy Ann enjoyed being up there! She
could see for miles and miles! And how tiny the children looked!
