My kite was two years old but it was as swift as new kites. I named it after me. I would take Ace for a flight every weekend. Due to wear and tear, the string was not attached to its holder properly. I did not think too much of it and was lazy to get it fixed.
That was a very windy day. It was the annual Kite Flying Festival again so I asked my parents to take me to East Coast Park, where the Kite Flying Festivals was held.
Half an hour after the official opening of the festival, it became more windy. Ace was launched and it took flight. I know the string would snap but I ignored it. Ace flew with the wind but after a while, the string snapped. Ace flew onto a tall tree. It was the end of my kite. I had butterflies in my stomach as I did not know what to do. I tried jumping but could not reach it.
I looked around for help but all the passers-by ignored me.
I ran to my parents and begged them anxiously, "Ace is stuck on the tree! I can't reach it."
My parents tried climbing up the tree but it was too high. I also tried to climb the tree but how well could a bookworm climb a tree?
I watched the other kids fly their kites. I loved my kite so much. It was a normal kite, nothing fanciful but I loved it for what it was.
I could not believe that I had lost my most favourite thing. Most people might think it was a small deal but Ace meant a lot to me. I had saved all my money for Ace. I began blaming myself for not getting its string fixed.
In the end, Ace flew onto a tree branch and got itself torn. Half of it flew down and I threw it in the bin.
As I was walking home, I saw a kite in a store that looked exactly like Ace. I begged my parents to buy that kite for me. It cost fifteen dollars. They gave in as they knew I love to fly kites. I was excited for the next Kite Flying festival. I did not worry about my old kite.
I have learnt that we should cherish what we have. I also learnt that I have to let go graciously since nothing is forever.
