Jing Xi picked a good spot. It was close to an elementary school and a few stalls lined up along the street.

Jing Xi had no idea. But she had to be optimistic. "Sure, there must be people who like daddy's kites."

"Grandma, can I have a kite?"

His grandma was reluctant at first. But the boy insisted. "Grandma, let's buy one, just one! I want a kite! I want a kite…"

The grandma could not stand his begging and had to surrender. She asked, "Girl, how much are your kites?"
