But the oak leaf just fluttered and fluttered, and fell to the ground at Billy's feet.

"Something is the matter with this kite," said Billy. "You did not make it the right way."

"Oh, yes, I did," said Bobtail. "I will show you how to make it fly."

All this time North Wind had been very still.

He was watching the three little rabbits trying to fly their kite.

He laughed softly to himself when the leaf fluttered and fell to the ground.

But North Wind could not keep still very long.

He saw Bobtail take hold of the string of the kite.

"Watch me, watch me!" said Bobtail.

"Watch me, watch me!" sang North Wind.
