"It was April in the big city of Nagasaki, Japan. The cherry blossoms fell with the gentle breeze. Taro's wooden getas made a clop-clop sound on the sidewalk. He hurried toward the home of his friend, Ichiro. Taro's mind was full of plans for flying his kite. He could hardly wait to share his ideas with Ichiro?
