AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The sky is filled with beautiful kites being flown by children, but little Mai-tzu is too poor to buy one and must build his own. He takes his home-made kite out into the fields and lies back on the grass to watch it fly. Suddenly, a sailing ship with wings appears between the clouds. Shortly after, an arrow shoots through the air shattering Mai-tzu's kite to the ground. The Kite Emperor then descends and asks Mai-tzu to come with him to his palace where he may choose any one of the beautiful kites for his own.'
