4. KITE FLIGHT Paz has a new kite but can`t figure out how to make it fly. He enlists the help of his friends. Paz is sure he can make the kite fly and brainstorms with his friends. He observes a simple physics demonstration and this helps him make the kite fly.
5. ON THE ICE Paz loves playing in the snow and ice; Pig and Rabbit would rather go inside and warm up. Paz has to deal with his impatience.
