A Reel in the Market Place

Last week I was writing a paper for class, and I wanted to present it to you.  I was doing the paper on a certain part in a book called The Kite Fighter.

A Reel Earned in the Market Place

In Seoul, Korea a boy named Lee-Sup wanted a reel in the market place for his kite.  Lee-Sup was determined to go to the old kite seller and try to earn the special reel.  His older brother Kee-sup had a reel of his own and Lee-sup wanted one of his own too.  Lee-Sup’s family didn't have the money to buy their son a reel, so Lee-Sup decided to earn it by himself.  He asked the old kite seller if he could earn the reel somehow.  The old kite seller said maybe, but Lee-Sup had a better idea. 

Lee-Sup asked how many reels do you sell each day, and the old kite seller said three to four. Lee-sup said, “If I fly my kite in front of your shop and you sell seven reels than I earn the reel.”  The old kite seller agreed so Lee-sup returned next morning and flew his kite in front of the old kite seller’s shop the whole day.  He only sold six reels when the market place started to shut down.  Suddenly they heard a shout; they saw a boy running up to the shop with money in his hand.  The boy paid the owner and bought the reel. The old kite seller rewarded Lee-Sup by giving him the reel.

Hoped you enjoyed it!
