    A father and his son went to a kite-flying festival. The son was happy when he saw the sky filled with colorful kites. The father bought a kite for his son. The son started to fly the kite. Soon, his kite was high up in the sky. After a while, the son said, "Father, it seems that the string is stopping the kite from flying higher. If we cut it, it will be free and fly even higher." The father cut the string. The kite started to go higher.

    But slowly, the kite started to come down. It soon fell to the ground. The son was surprised to see this. He asked his father, "I thought that after cutting the string, the kite would fly higher. Why did it fall down?" The father said, "The string was not stopping the kite from going higher, but was helping it stay in the sky. But when you cut the string, it could no longer help the kite."
