Charlie Brown glances at his kite, which is caught in a tree. "Oh, good grief! Not AGAIN!"<br> <br> He stares at the ground in front of the tree: "I can't stand it.."<br> <br> "Kite caught in the same tree again, eh, Charlie Brown?" Lucy asks as she approaches. Charlie Brown holds on to the kite string and stands next to the tree.<br> <br> Lucy asks, "Why don't yo let me YELL at it? Why don't you let me yell at it for you, Charlie Brown?"<br> <br> He relents: "I don't care WHAT you do! You can yell at 'til your HEAD falls off as far as I'M concerned..."

Interesting that the kites came down on command, considering that in later strips the tree became known as the “kite-eating tree.” Or did Lucy shake up the tree enough that it decided it would be wise to let the kites go?

The tree threw all of them down at once, just to be mean.

Well, the next time Charlie Brown gets another kite stuck in a tree, he should just call Lucy.
