This story is about Jerry, a seven-year-old boy and his friend Chubby. They
live in a small village.
One day Jerry made a very big kite. His friend Chubby painted a big round
moon
and some stars on it. Jerry was very proud because his kite
was the biggest kite in the village.
All the children wanted to touch his kite, but Jerry didn’t want that. He
shouted, “My kite is flying to the moon!”
Jerry was very excited. He wanted to fly the kite, but it didn’t fly.
The children laughed at him. One boy shouted, “Your kite doesn’t fly! Take
it home, Jerry, and make it smaller!”
Jerry started crying. It was a terrible day for him. He wanted to see Chubby
and talk to her.

Hello, Chubby. What are you doing?
I am trying to do my Math homework, but I cannot do it, Jerry.
It is very difficult for me. I don’t know how many times seven
goes into sixty three.
Oh, Chubby! Don’t be sad. Try again!
What’s wrong with you, Jerry? You look very sad.
I can’t fly my kite. The children laughed at me.
Oh, dear! Why didn’t it fly? Help me find the answer for this
problem, and then we can try to fly your kite together.
