The Paper Kite- Short story - IELTS Reading



A beautiful Paper Kite was flying high in the sky. It was brightly coloured, with long, curly tassels and a long string.

The Paper Kite was so high up, above all the trees and other kites, that it was giddy with excitement.

Admiring itself, it said loudly, “0 look at me flying so gracefully! If I were free, I could go far away.”

The Paper Kite tugged at its string, as it wanted to fly right through the clouds and above the eagles.

However, the string was strong and held it tight.

The Paper Kite impatiently tugged at its string again, and the string broke.

The Paper Kite was full of joy. It tried to fly higher but suddenly, it started falling. The Paper Kite tried with all its might to stay up, but it kept coming down. Free of its string, the Paper Kite had become too heavy and could not control itself. It drifted towards the sea and was washed away in the tide.

The Paper Kite cried, “O poor me! I wanted to fly higher and higher. Look what I got for being so proud.”

Moral:-

The proud and careless always suffer.

Citizens support a uniform time across the year The  European Union  (EU) said on Friday that it would propose a legal change that would end the ritual of switching between summer and winter time, leaving it up to governments across the bloc to agree on whether to permanently use summer time or winter time. The proposal comes after a survey found that 84% of 4.6 million citizens across the EU’s 28 member states opposed changing the clocks ahead in the summer or back in the winter. New proposal In response, the EU’s chief executive, Jean-Claude Juncker, said Brussels would propose scrapping an EU law requiring member states to change their clocks. “Millions ... believe that summertime should be all the time,” he said. Since 1996, EU law has been moving clocks forward an hour on the last Sunday in March and back an hour on the final Sunday in October. The proposal would drop that requirement, a spokesman said. He rebuffed suggestions that would lead to conf...
