The whole family goes to the park to fly a kite over the weekend. Dad promises to send it up high, but the kite keeps falling — until everyone runs together and it finally takes off.
Sunday Morning
星期天早上，丁丁早早就醒了。
On Sunday morning, Dingding woke up bright and early.
Dingding
爸爸，你说过今天带我去放的！
Dad, you said you'd take me to the park to fly a kite today!
Dad
我没忘。你看，在我手里呢。
I didn't forget. Look — the kite's right here in my hand.
丁丁拿着那只红色的，一路上都在笑。
Dingding carried the red kite, smiling the whole way there.
The Kite Won't Fly
里人不多，上也很大。
There weren't many people in the park, and the wind on the grass was strong.
Dad
看好了，爸爸让它得最高！
Watch closely — I'll make it fly the highest of all!
可是刚起来，又到了地上。
But the kite had barely lifted off before it dropped back to the ground.
Dingding
爸爸，你不是说得最高吗？
Dad, didn't you say it would fly the highest?
Running Together
妈妈笑着说，三个人一起跑，就上去了。
Mom said with a smile that if all three of them ran together, the kite would go up.
他们手着手，在上跑了起来。
Holding hands, they started running across the grass.
Dingding
起来啦！它真的得很高！
It's flying! It's really up high now!
红色的在天上，全家人都跑得满头大汗。
The red kite hung in the sky, while the whole family ran until they were soaked in sweat.
