summarizes the main ideas of the poem
|
The poem expresses the fearful
nature of a little kite which wants to fly high in the sky. Initially the
little kite was afraid to fly high into the sky and was highly pessimistic. But
later on with the motivating words of the big kite, it gathers courage and learns
to fly slowly. Finally, it successfully learns to fly high in the whirling sky.

poet addresses the small children and emphasizes that one can accomplish any
task in life with determination, self confidence and boldness.
