Read the passage:

In the story "The Great, Big, Blue Balloon," a young girl named Cassie attempts to catch a blue balloon by following it through her neighborhood. Cassie goes through several different neighborhoods and is introduced to new people, but the balloon continues to elude her. Finally, just as the balloon is within her grasp, Cassie notices a younger child who has also been following the balloon in hopes of catching it. Seeing the younger child's enthusiasm for the balloon, Cassie does the generous thing and helps the child to catch it for himself.
