A person |
Main points of the story |
The kite was the most tiresome
kite in the world, always wagging its tail, shaking its ears, breaking its
string, sitting down on the tops of houses, getting stuck in trees, entangled
in hedges, flopping down on ponds, or lying flat on the grass, and refusing
to rise higher than a yard from the ground. It was pretty, with a snow-white
face and pink and white ears, but it was not good and did not prosper. It
stuck itself on a roof and would not move, so the children tugged and pulled
and coaxed and cried, but still it would not move. Finally, the kite started
and flew away over the field and over the heath, and over the far far woods,
never coming back again. |

Entangled, hedges. |

was too tall for Mohan to scale. He collapsed to the ground. His respiration
was held. When the animal smelled him, it believed he had died. He departed.
Sohan stepped down. Thus both of them were able to cross the bridge safely. |

When the reader reads this story,
maybe they will think that is only a simple story. But if we had a deep

What
character do you like most? Why
Mostly, I like
a woman who is a character in the Mother’s Heart story. Her characterization can
bring tears to my eyes. Even though the story is very short, it has meaningful.
Also, after I read that story, I came to remember my mom.
