(单词翻译:单击)

    A kite,which had been taken by the wind to soar above the clouds,called out to a butterfly down below in the valley.“I can assure you that I can scarcely make you out.Confess now that you feel envious1 when you watch my so lofty flight.”
    “Envious?Not at all.You have no right to think so much of your-self.You fly high,it is true;but you are always tied to a string.Such a life,my friend,is very far from happy.But I fly wherever I wish though I really don't have much to be proud of.I should not like to have to conduce to someone else's foolish amusement all my life long.”
    Exercises:
    回答下列问题:
    ① Whom did the kite call to?
    ② Why couldn't the kite see the butterfly?
    ③ What made the butterfly not admire the kite?
