A father and his son went to a kite-flying festival. When they1 ,there were many parents and their children playing in the park. The son was happy when he saw the sky filled with 2 kites. He wanted to fly a kite, too.So they went to a kite shop and3 a beautiful one.
The father is good4 flying kites. Soon the kite was high up in the sky. After a while, the son said. "Dad, it 5 that the string (线) is stopping (阻止) the kite from flying higher. 6 we cut it, it will be free and fly even higher. Can we cut it?" The father said 7 but just cut the string off. The kite really went higher. This made the little boy8 .
But then, after a few minutes, the kite started to 9 slowly. It soon fell onto the ground in the end. The son was 10 to see this. He asked his father, "I thought that 11 cutting the string, the kite would fly higher. Why did it fall down?"
The father smiled and said, "The role (作用) of the string was not stopping the kite from going higher, but was helping it stay in the sky, because the kite 12 can't fly up. You helped the kite go up in the right direction (方向) using the string. But when you cut the string, it could no longer support the kite."
In our life, we may sometimes13 like there are certain things that are holding us back and stopping us from growing. 14 in fact, these may be the things that support us the most. We can really15 and become better by knowing the importance of these things.
