**The Lost Kite**
One sunny afternoon, a little boy named Ravi ran through the fields near his village. He held a red kite in his hand, his favorite toy. The wind was perfect, and Ravi was excited to fly his kite as high as he could.
Ravi had spent the whole morning fixing the kite with his father. The red paper had torn a bit, and the string was tangled. But now, it was ready to fly again. He smiled as he felt the breeze on his face, and with a gentle push, he sent the kite soaring into the sky.
The kite danced and swirled, moving higher and higher, its bright red color shining against the blue sky. Ravi held onto the string tightly, guiding the kite through the wind. He felt proud and happy, watching his kite fly so high.
But suddenly, the wind became stronger. Ravi tried to hold onto the string, but it slipped through his fingers. The kite flew higher and farther away, and before Ravi knew it, the string snapped. His heart sank as he watched the red kite disappear into the distance, carried away by the wind.
Ravi ran as fast as he could, chasing the kite. He didn't want to lose it. He ran through the fields, past trees, and over small hills, but the kite was too far away. Soon, he could no longer see it. Tired and out of breath, Ravi sat down on a rock. Tears filled his eyes. He loved that kite, and now it was gone.
As he sat there, feeling sad, an old man came walking by. He saw Ravi sitting alone and asked, "Why are you so sad, little one?"
"I lost my kite," Ravi said, wiping his tears. "It flew away, and now I can’t find it."
The old man smiled kindly and sat down beside him. "Sometimes, things go away, and we cannot bring them back," he said softly. "But that doesn’t mean it’s the end. You can always try again."
Ravi listened carefully. The old man continued, "Why don’t you make a new kite? You can make it even better than the last one."
Ravi thought about it for a moment. He still felt sad about losing his kite, but the old man’s words gave him hope. "Yes, I can make a new one," he said, standing up.
The old man nodded. "And when you make it, let the wind carry it, but hold on tight next time," he said with a wink.
Ravi thanked the old man and ran back home. That evening, he sat with his father again, working on a new kite. This one was blue and even stronger than the red one. The next day, Ravi went back to the fields. As the new blue kite flew high in the sky, he smiled. He had lost his kite, but he had gained something more—hope and the courage to try again.
And this time, he held the string tightly.
