One day, a father and his son were flying a kite. Soon, the kite flew upin the sky. After a while, the son said, "Father, it seems that the thread (线) is keeping the kite from flying higher. If we cut it, it will be free and will fly even higher. Can we cut it?" So the father cut the thread from the reel(卷轴). The kite started to go a little higher. That made the son very.

But then, slowly the kite started to come down. And soon it fell onto the grass. The son wasto see this and asked his father why it happened.

The father explained. "My son, the thread was not keeping the kite from going higher, but it was helping itin the sky when the wind dropped. And when the wind picked up, we helped the kite go hither in a properthrough the thread. And after we cut the thread, the kite fell without the support(支持) we provided for it through the thread."

"In our life, we often think that some things are stopping us from going higher," the father continued. "Sometimes we could makequickly and reach new heights if we were not tied down to our family. But we fail to realize that our family help us outthe hard times. In fact they are not holding us back, but supporting us."
