A kite soared high in the sky, held by a string that tethered it to the ground.
一只风筝在天空中高高飞翔，由一根线牵引着它与地面相连。
The kite admired an eagle flying freely and wished for the same freedom.
风筝羡慕一只自由飞翔的老鹰，希望也能获得那样的自由。
"How lucky you are to fly wherever you want!" said the kite to the eagle.
风筝对老鹰说：“你真幸运，可以飞到任何地方！”
The eagle replied, "But your string keeps you steady and safe. Without it, you’d be lost."
老鹰回答：“但你的线让你保持稳定和安全，没有它，你就会迷失方向。”
The kite ignored the advice and tugged harder against the string, hoping to break free.
风筝无视这个建议，更加用力挣脱线的束缚，希望能够自由。
Eventually, the string snapped, and the kite floated freely for a moment.
最终，线断了，风筝短暂地自由飘荡了一会儿。
But soon, without control or direction, the kite was tossed by the wind and fell to the ground.
但很快，由于失去了控制和方向，风筝被风吹得东倒西歪，最终摔落在地。
The broken kite lay in the dirt, realizing too late that the string had given it stability and purpose.
摔破的风筝躺在泥土中，这时才明白，牵引它的线曾赋予它稳定和方向。
True freedom comes with responsibility and understanding your limitations.
真正的自由伴随着责任，且需理解自己的局限。
