During the summer, in the moths of March and April ,the skies 3 cities ,towns and villages throughout the Kingdom are 4 with kites of all descriptions --long-tailed dragons,twisting snakes ,beautiful butter-flies,or familiar cartoon characters wheeling and weaving in the waim air.
One afternoon ,a friend and long-time kite flier invited me to 5 him at the Pramane Ground .What's the attraction?I asked as he flew a huge kite.Well ,you can feel a bit of a 6 at first .he replied,a grown man standing there holding the end of a string and 7 up into the sky .But once you forget yourself ,you get caught up in the 8 of controlling something inthe air where you cannot follow.You're on the ground :the kite's in the air but it's you that are making it al 9 .Come on ,go fly a kite.
I took his advice in the 10 it was meant and ,holding the hand of my young daughter si that others woukd think I was only satisfying a child's 11 ,I bought a rainbow-colored snake .After a few failed runs we got the kite into the air 12 greater ease than I expected.It was only at my daughter 's crying ,My go,my go that I realized I'd been holding the string ,completely 13 what I was discovering was a very pleasing pastime.
