A kite,which had been taken by the wind to soar above the clouds,called out to a butterfly down below in the valley.“I can assure you that I can scarcely make you out.Confess now that you feel envious when you watch my so lofty flight.”
“Envious?Not at all.You have no right to think so much of your-self.You fly high,it is true;but you are always tied to a string.Such a life,my friend,is very far from happy.But I fly wherever I wish though I really don't have much to be proud of.I should not like to have to conduce to someone else's foolish amusement all my life long.”
