blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great . They shook and pulled, the control string and the long tail kept them in check, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They flew beautifully even they fought the restriction(约束) of the string. , one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”
