"Can Kiki climb with me?" asked Milo.

"Not yet," said Papa. "She is too little."

Milo felt grumpy. Everybody looked at Kiki. Nobody looked at Milo.

Then Kiki began to cry. Waah! Waah! Milo made a funny face. He wiggled his ears. Kiki stopped crying. She looked at Milo, and she smiled.

"She smiled at you," said Mama. "You are a very good big brother."

Milo sang Kiki a song. He brought her a soft blanket. He showed her the big green leaves, the bright birds and the blue sky.

Mama gave Milo a big hug. "Kiki is lucky to have you," she said. "And we are lucky to have you too."

"One day," Milo told Kiki, "I will teach you how to swing." And Kiki smiled again.
