        Hassan's face brightened. "Good," he said. He lifted our kite, red with yellow. He licked his finger and held it up, tested the wind, then ran in its direction. The spool(线轴) rolled in my hands until Hassan stopped, about fifty feet away. He held the kite high over his head, like an Olympic athlete showing his gold medal. I jerked the string twice, our usual signal, and Hassan threw the kite highly in the sky.

        I took a deep breath, and pulled on the string. Within a minute, my kite was rocketing to the sky. It made a sound like a bird flapping its wings. Hassan clapped his hand and ran back to me. I handed him the spool, holding on to the string, and he spun it quickly to roll the loose string back on.

        At least two dozen kites already hung in the sky, like paper sharks swimming in the sea. Within an hour, the number doubled. A cold breeze went through my hair. The wind was perfect for kite flying, blowing just hard enough to give some lift, make the sweeps easier. Next to me, Hassan held the spool, his hands already bloodied by the string.

        Soon, the cutting started and the first of the defeated kites whirled (回旋) out of control. They fell from the sky like shooting stars, showering the neighborhoods below with prizes for the kite runners. I could hear the runners now, shouting as they ran the streets. Someone shouted reports of a fight breaking out two streets down.

        I kept stealing glances at Baba sitting with his friend, wondering what he was thinking. Was he cheering for me? Or did a part of him enjoy watching me Tail? That was the thing about kite flying: Your mind flew with the kite.

        They were coming down all over the place now. The kites and I was still flying. My eyes kept wandering over to Baba. Was he surprised I had lasted as long as I had? You don't keep your eyes to the sky, you won't last much longer. I snapped my gaze back to the sky. A red kite was closing in on me—I'd caught it just in time. I tangled(纠缠) a bit with it, ended up besting him when he tried to cut me from below.
