One day, a father and his son went to a kite flying Festival. When they (arrive), there were already many adults and their children playing in the park. When the son saw the sky filled with (color) shapes, he was excited and wanted to get one too. His father agreed (buy) one for him, So they went to a kite shop and chose a beautiful one.
With the string(s) in hand, the son started flying the kite. Soon, the kite was high up in the sky a while, he said "father, it seems that the string is stopping the kite from flying higher. If we cut it, it free and fly even higher. Can we cut it?" The father didn't reply, but just cut the string off the reel(线轴). Suddenly, the kite began to go higher, which made the son much happier.
However, his surprise the kite was coming down. They waited for quite some time (slow), it fell onto the grass. The son felt upset and asked, "I thought that after cutting the string, the kite would fly higher. Why did it fall down?"
The father smiled and said, "The role of the string was not stopping the kite from flying higher, but helping it stay in the sky, because the kite can't fly up by (it). By using the string, you help the kite go up in the right (direct). When you cut the string, it could not support the kite."
In our life, we may sometimes feel like there are certain things that are holding us back and stopping us from growing. But fact, these might be the things that support us most. We can really grow up and become stronger by realizing the importance of these things.
