One day, a little girl named Lucy found a long cord in her room. She did not know what it was for, but she liked it. Lucy started to imagine all the fun things she could do with the cord. She thought about making it into a jump rope or a leash for her toy dog.
Lucy took her cord outside to play. She saw her friend Tom from next door. Tom was sad because he lost his kite. The kite was stuck high up in a tree. Lucy wanted to help Tom feel better.
Lucy had an idea! She tied the cord to a strong stick. Then, she threw the stick up into the tree. The stick hit the kite and it fell down. Tom was happy to have his kite back. Lucy was glad that her cord helped her friend. They played together all day and had lots of fun.
