A father and his son went to a kite-flying festival. The son was happy when he saw the sky 1with colorful kites. He wanted to fly a kite, too. The father then 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 2the kite from flying higher. If we cut it, it will be free and fly even 3. Can we cut it?" The father cut the string off of the reel (线轴). The kite started to go higher. This made the little boy 4.
But then, slowly, the kite started to 5. It soon fell to the ground. The son was surprised to see this. He asked his father, "I thought that 6cutting the string, the kite would fly higher.
7did it fall down?"
The father explained, "The string was not stopping the kite from going higher, but was helping it 8in the sky. You helped the kite go up in the right 9using the string. But when you cut the string, it could no longer support the kite."
We may sometimes feel like there are certain things that are holding us back and stopping us from growing. But 10, these might be the things that support us the most.
