KITE SHOP FANTASY

How did it happen? The kite shopkeeper awoke in his bed to discover that his house was flying. He stumbled to the door, stunned by the sight: Hundreds of his kites, having broken through the windows and escaped the hold of the earth, were soaring in the blue sky.

“Come back!” He bellowed. But the kites were too happy to heed him. “We belong to the sky! We are not to be hidden in the dark corners any longer. To the world we will show our glory and beauty! The shopkeeper pondered: “Why, I’ve always wanted to fly. I didn’t know these kites are magical!” He yells: “Mighty kites! Keep flying! Take me along on your grand tour of the world!”
