Up in the Sky

Take a trip up a hill on a windy day. What is flying high in the sky? It isn’t a bird or a plane. It is a kite!

Kids and adults like flying kites. Long ago, the first kites were made by Chinese people. Then, people around the world began flying kites.

One story tells a man’s hat got lifted off by wind. He had fun chasing his hat, so he did it again! His hat became the first kite. Other stories tell that people liked watching leaves on windy days. They tied leaves to strings and watched them fly.

Long ago, kites became important in keeping China protected. A man might be lifted up by a kite while he spied(监视) on an enemy. He could use the kite to fly high like a plane. He could also fight from the air!

Kites come in many shapes, sizes, and styles. They are usually made of cloth or paper. A kite might be shaped like a bird,　 a fish,　 or just a box. Kites are also painted with colors.

You can use a kite to catch fish. First you tie a fishing line to a kite. Then you put bait(鱼饵) on the line. You watch the kite with hopes as it flies over the water. When you pull the kite down,　 you might find a fish on your line! Some people think this is more fun than using a fishing pole(杆).

Many countries have special days to honor kites. People make, sell and fly many types of kites. There are several kite festivals in China. The Beijing International Kite Festival is usually held in April every year. People spend all days flying kites. You might see famous fighter kites. People fly these kites quite fast and try to cut other flyer’s lines.

There is much to learn about kites. From long ago in China until now, kites have had many uses. They have been used for spying, fighting, and fishing. But the best way to use a kite is to fly it high for fun!
