In our modern world, children depend on mobile phones and they don’t even want to try new activities. However, in my childhood time, everything was different. My friends and I had lots of adventures almost every day. And the most memorable event was when I flew a kite for the first time. At that time, there was a season that fields were completely empty because farmers harvested their crops, so flying kites became our ritual during that season. When I went there for the first time, there were countless kids flying their kites so high that I couldn’t even see them. On the other hand, I almost didn’t know how to fly it, so I tried several times but failed each time. The time when I started to feel sad and a known boy came and offered to help. After that he told me how to fly a kite and we became friends. Soon other children stopped flying their kites and it turned into an unforgettable event because we spent time with each other and helped it also.
