Then answer each question.  \n# Ray and His Kite\n\nRay was a silly boy. You will think so too when you haveread this story. Ray liked to play with the boys atschool well enough; but he liked to be aloneunder the shade of some tree reading a fairytale or dreaming daydreams better. Therewas one activity that he liked as well as hiscompanions; that was flying a kite.  \nOne day when he was flying his kite, he said to  \nhimself, “I wonder if anybody ever tried to fly a kite  \nat night. It seems to me it would be nice. Butthen, if it is dark, the kite cannot be seen.What if I should fasten a light to it, though?That would make it show. I'll try it tonight. ”  \nAs soon as it was dark, without saying a word to anybody, he tookhis kite and lantern and went to a large, open lot a distance from hishome. “Well,” thought he, “this is strange. How lonely and still itseems without any other boys around! I am going to fly my kiteanyway. ” So he tied the lantern, which was made of tin punchedfull of small holes, to the tail of his kite. Then he pitched the kite,and, after several attempts, succeeded in making it rise.  \nUp it went, higher and higher, as Ray let out the string. When thestring was all unwound, he tied it to a fence, and then he stood andgazed at his kite as it floated high up in the air.  \nGrade 4 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nWhile Ray was enjoying his kite, some people who were out on thestreet in the village saw a strange light in the sky. They gathered ingroups to watch it. Now it was still for a few seconds; then it seemedto be jumping up and down; then it made long sweeps back andforth through the air.  \n“What can it be?” asked one person. “How strange,” said another.“It cannot be a comet because comets have tails,” said a third.  \n“Perhaps it's a big firefly,” said another. At last some of the mendecided to find out what this strange light was—whether it was ahobgoblin dancing in the air, or something dropping from the sky. Sooff they started to get as close to it as they could.  \nWhile this was taking place, Ray, who had gotten tired of standingand was sitting on a fence behind a tree. He could see the men asthey approached, but they did not see him. When they were directlyunder the light, and saw what it was, they looked at each other andsaid while laughing, “This is some boy's trick, and it has fooled us  \nnicely. Let us keep the secret and have our share of the  \njoke. ” Then they laughed again and went backto the village. Some of the people there hadnot yet found out what that strange light was.  \nWhen the men had gone , Ray thought it was timefor him to go, so he wound up his string, picked up  \nhis kite and lantern, and went home. His motherhad been wondering where he was. When she heard whathe had been doing, she hardly knew whether to laugh or scold, but Ithink she laughed and told him that it was time for him to go to bed.  \nGrade 4 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \n## Questions:\n\n1.
