       blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great     . They shook and pulled,     the control string and the long tail kept them in check, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites     and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They flew beautifully even      they fought the restriction(约束) of the string.     , one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”

Yet     from restraint simply put it     an unsympathetic breeze. It flew awkwardly to the ground and     in a wild mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown     along the ground, and to stuck lifeless against the first barrier.

Restraint is a     counterpart(对应物) to the winds of opposition. Some of us resist the rules so hard that we never fly high enough to reach the heights we might have obtained. We obey part of the rules and     rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.

Let us each rise to the great heights,     that some of the restraints that we may be unhappy about are actually the steadying force that helps us     and achieve.
