On with the story

So, Matthew and Jake went outside with the kite. It was a pretty kite. They stood in Kresge Oval and tried to get it to fly. It went up. It came back down. It went up. It came back down. It went up. It got stuck in a tree. It came out of the tree.

Matthew and Jake decided to move over to Brigg's Field. The kite went up. The kite came back down. They made the string longer. The kite went up. The kite came back down. They made the string longer. The kite went up. The kite dipped, and went up, and down and up and down. Finally, it was in the air.

It went higher. And higher. And higher. Then the string broke.

The Kite stayed up in the air

The kite started to fly away. It flew over Baker House. Then it disappeared. Matthew and Jake went over to see if it went in the river. It wasn't there. Then, they went behind Baker to see if it landed there. It didn't.

Matthew and Jake decided that maybe it landed on the roof of Baker. They went up to the roof. And Guess What?!
