[1] A young boy named Jerry made the largest kite in the town with his own hands.

Jerry feels proud of the kite, and heads to the field to make it fly to the moon.

Jerry feels defeated and embarrassed as the village children laugh at him, and he goes to find Chubby.

The stern Lady of the Moon is not happy the children have entered her territory, and she tells them to leave.

"The Kite That Went to the Moon" was written in 1899 and first published by John Lane at The Bodley Head in London and New York in 1900, in the book of fairy tales The Other Side of the Sun by Evelyn Sharp (1869–1955).
