I heard sound of motor coming back again in my direction. It was
making terrific noise. Man whizzed past me like rocket Way he was
running that motor told me he was very angry man. He must have
been very puzzled man, too. Perhaps he was thinking he had seen
ghost. Ghost boy driving ghost car.

II. Kite caught wind and soared upward like huge blue bird. It
was tugging and struggling at end of line like big fish. Up and up it
went, rising very fast now in cool night air. It was like magic fire­
ball in sky.

away. We didn't have car of our own. We couldn't afford one. But
walk took only half hour and I didn't mind that in least... and when
school ended my father was always there waiting to walk me home.
I really liked those morning walks to school with him.
