was a normal student at school. He was interested in math and science, but he liked to study at home better. Later he studied

was possible.

always answered them. One letter was from a girl with math problems at school. “Do not worry about your difficulties in

"Father, it seems that the thread (线) is stopping the kite from flying higher. If we break it, the kite will be free and fly even
higher. Can we break it?" So the father cut the thread. The kite started to go a little higher. That made the son very happy.
