Let’s read each paragraph carefully and think about what happens first, second, third, etc., in the story.
We’re looking for the logical order of events — like putting together a puzzle of what happened step by step.
---
Paragraph A (top left):
“He let go of the kite, and the wind lifted it high into the sky. Dad quickly let out more string. Hudson watched the red-blue kite in the sky. He loved flying a kite.”
→ This sounds like the END of the story — the kite is already flying high, and Hudson is enjoying it.
Paragraph B (middle right):
“It was just enough wind to make the kite rise into the air. Dad showed Hudson how to tie the string to the kite. Hudson tied the string the way Dad showed him.”
→ This must happen BEFORE the kite flies — they’re preparing the kite by tying the string.
Paragraph C (middle left):
“Hudson stood in the grass at the park. He was excited because today he would get to fly a kite. Hudson had never flown a kite before.”
→ This feels like the BEGINNING — Hudson arrives at the park, excited, and it’s his first time.
Paragraph D (bottom right):
“He held the kite up high. ‘Run forward with it,’ Dad said. ‘Let the wind catch it!’ Hudson did as Dad told him. He lifted the kite until he felt the wind catch it.”
→ This is the ACTION part — trying to launch the kite. Comes after tying the string, but before it’s flying high.
Paragraph E (bottom left):
“He could not wait! Dad opened a package and pulled a blue-red kite from inside. The wind was blowing through the trees.”
→ This happens AFTER arriving at the park (C), but BEFORE tying the string (B). They unpack the kite.

Now let’s put them in order:
1.
C – Hudson arrives at the park, excited, never flown a kite before.
2.
E – Dad opens the package, takes out the kite. Wind is blowing.
3.
B – Dad shows Hudson how to tie the string. Hudson ties it.
4.
D – Hudson holds the kite up, runs, lets the wind catch it.
5.
A – Kite goes high, Dad lets out string, Hudson watches happily.
That makes sense: arrive → unpack → prepare → launch → enjoy!
Final Answer:
The correct sequence is:
1. Hudson stood in the grass at the park...
2. He could not wait! Dad opened a package...
3. It was just enough wind to make the kite rise...
4. He held the kite up high...
5. He let go of the kite, and the wind lifted it...
