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,

to fly high in the whirling sky. It makes the little kite feel proud and
happy ultimately. In this poem the poet addresses the small children and
emphasizes that one can accomplish any task in life with determination, self
