Essay lesson 38–2 : An arrogant kite

Once upon a time, there was a little boy who liked to fly kites. One day, he went to the park, close to his home, and flew a kite with the strong wind. The wind was a tad bit too strong that day, so his kite snapped and flew away. The kite flew far away as the little boy cried loudly.

The kite blew far, far away and flew to the Pacific Ocean. The kite saw an enormous, black cloud. The kite was proud of itself and said how perfect he was to the enormous, black cloud.

“Haha! I do not have wings but I can fly!” The kite said, proudly.

“Umm…… If you do not move faster and go through me, you might not fly again because I will rain on you!” Replied the cloud.

Even though the enormous, black cloud notified him, the kite still felt he was the most perfect and amazing thing in the world. Next, he saw a bird that was very small. He scoffed at the tiny bird.

“Haha! I do not have wings but I can fly!” The kite said, arrogantly.

“Don’t be too haughty! If the wind stops, you will not fly again.” The bird replies.

The kite still did not want to fix the problem of his arrogance but the kite realized that his attitude was bad. After that, he met a sky lantern that felt hot. He was still using his annoying, arrogant voice.

“Haha! I do not have wings but I can fly!” The kite said, annoyingly.

“Do not be too happy! We are just things that are being used!” The sky lantern responded.

The kite was shocked when he realized that he was being used by human beings. Finally, he flew to a little park. The wind stopped and the kite fell in the tree. The kite felt very lost and lonely. The kite finally knew the feelings of the enormous, black cloud, the little bird, and the sky lantern.

Just then, a little boy saw the kite and climbed upon the tree. The little boy takes care of the kite carefully. At last, the kite learned that being modest is good behavior.
